“Amazing sitter for our family fur-baby. Received daily updates with pictures. Calm environment. Amanda was also very responsive and supportive of our highly anxious dog. Marigold spent two weeks with Amanda. We so appreciate her kindness and care.”
“Shane was excellent! He communicated with us and shared an update with a photo or video with us daily! He worked with us to find a solution for drop off. We highly recommend Shane and will use his services again in the future. Thank you!!”
“Radha and Bart are absolutely the BEST. Rooney was so happy staying there and playing with their super chill big boy Snowy for the entire week. They provided us so many updates with photos and videos. We didn’t have to worry about him at all. Radha and Bart treated him like their own pup. They took him on walks multiple times during the day and gave him the sniffing time which our beagle loves. If you want your fur baby to be loved and get that feeling of home away home, go with Radha and Bart :)”
“Heather was amazing! We have used Rover many times and our experience with Heather far surpassed the others. She sent a lot of pictures, walked our dogs, her kiddos cuddled and gave a lot of attention to our animals. I highly recommend booking with Heather. We for sure will be using her in the future.”
“Milo had the absolute best time with Jordan and her family. He was seriously living his best life swimming in their pond everyday and playing with her kids and their dogs. They took such great care of Milo! I would definitely book a stay with them again! ♥️”
“Dede was a lifesaver. I’ve ever left my babe with someone he didn’t know, but she made sure he was comfortable from the time I dropped him off til the time I picked him up. She was really good about sending daily updates which included pics and videos to keep my mind at ease. A bonus was her two dogs Daisy and Lily who made Kai’s stay 100 times better because he loves having a friend to play with! Her and her husband made sure to give him all the cuddles and make him feel at home while I was away. Now Kai has a new best friend and somewhere to go when I have to leave town :)”
“Perfect sitter! Communication was consistent and the dogs were so tired on the drive home. I felt like they were welcome and had a good weekend while I was away! I will be using this sitter again.”
“Rosie's stay with Erin was fantastic! I received plenty of pictures and videos that reassured me Rosie was having a fun and playful stay while I was on vacation. I definitely recommend Erin for anyone considering boarding their fur babies!”
“Jerica checks All the boxes! She is knowledgeable, professional, organized, a great communicator, and kind. She knows dogs! I could tell my two pups had a great time because they came home happy not traumatized like one of mine did several months ago with a different caregiver. What I appreciated the most was how she alleviated my concern about one of my pups because she is a rescue pup with little socialization with other dogs. Jerica explained her process beforehand which made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend her. She’s an absolute Pro!”
“Always love leaving Athos with Brandon. Very responsive to texts and I know our boy has a great time because he starts whining in excitement 2 blocks from Brandon's house!”
“Aundie did a great job. She provided daily updates and took care of Otto very well. It was clear Otto had lots of fun staying there. Augi and Oreo kept Ottos company and they all had a great time.”
“Sara watched our almost 3 year old fur baby when we went out of town for Thanksgiving. He was a COVID puppy and we still work from home so he's never been away from us. We were nervous to leave him. Sara made it us feel so comfortable with asking about all of his habits and needs and sent us multiple pictures a day so we could see that he was not only doing fine, he was having a blast at what we called dog camp! We will definitely have her sit for us again and highly recommend Sara!”
“I don’t mind paying for convenience. Tinisha was a Godsend. I needed someone with very little time in advance. She picked Gracie up and dropped her off. Highly recommend!”
“She was amazing with my pup and sent so many pictures. It was his first time staying for more than one day and he was having a hard time adjusting but she took care of him like her own!”
About: I’ve house/animal sat for numerous family and friends over the years. As well as I have a 4 year old Dalmatian. I love taking care of animals and would be delighted to anytime. Due to having a pup at home I can not stay overnight but more than happy to let fur babies out super early/ late. I am currently a full time nurse I have plenty of free time on my hands when requested in advance! Also have help when needed! I have a big fenced in back yard with lots of room to run around. As well as a spunky Dalmatian to play and keep your fur baby busy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Vilas home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Vilas.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Vilas sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
