“This is the first time we rely on Carmen and we're so happy about it!! You can say she really loves dogs. She organized nice activities and sent me beautiful pictures. We'll contact her for sure the next time we need a place for our dog!”
“I have boarded with Patricia before and she is the best. I have a very timid dog and she warmed up to her so quickly. She is also very responsive and provides pictures so I can see Lola.”
“Anabel is so friendly, polite and patient! From the meet and greet to our 2 week boarding stay she has made us feel comfortable and confident that our baby Kira will be taken care of professionally and like family. Will continue to book with Anabel for future boarding needs”
“Great sitter who took wonderful care of my dog for 9 days and went above and beyond, especially when she wasn’t eating. Very professional, caring, and helpful throughout the entire stay, which gave us great peace of mind. She also had plenty of other dogs around for my dog to play and socialize with, making it a fun and active stay!”
“Yvonne and her pups made our girl feel so at home. She was very attentive and responsive to any questions or concerns we had. We will definitely be using her again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with this pet sitting family! It’s clear they truly love and care for dogs like their own. They kept us updated with daily photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Their youngest daughter was especially sweet and shared the cutest stories about all the adventures she had with our pup. It meant a lot to know our dog was not just being watched, but genuinely loved and having fun. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend their services!”
“Ludo had an awesome stay at Aimee's place. Aimee and family were wonderful, they took great care of him. Ludo made a new friend with Remi, their sweet little cockapoo. Aimee kept in touch via Rover app and WhatsApp and sent us photos and updates regularly. We will definitely board Ludo with Aimee again in the future.”
“This was my first time EVER leaving my baby to go on a trip. I must say Mrs. Diana is a very nice and caring sitter. She updates you with texts, pics, and videos of your pet to keep you up to date. My dog loved her and he had a ball. I would HIGHLY recommend her. She follows all of your requests to ensure your dog is getting the best care possible. I will definitely be using her again.”
“I normally don’t do reviews but when I do it means you will always have my service. Let me just start off by saying how outgoing, punctual, consistent, and caring Johnathan was/is! I contacted him last minute to babysit my fur son and was actually hesitant to leave him but once i saw the pictures and videos he sent I was at ease. Kobe is a very active dog and will show if he’s uncomfortable around u but the moment he sensed Johnathan I knew he was gone be ok. I will look no further when I need someone to look after him. He have my business anytime. Thanks again John! You’re the best.”
“This is our second time booking with Mary. She is absolutely wonderful with Goosey! Mary sent updates everyday of our fluffy friend and was very prompt in answering any of our questions or requests. Thank you so much for everything.”
“Vidyanandhini is an excellent host. She is good with communication and making sure the boarding experience went well. Kenzo was well cared for. Will board again. Thanks Vidyanandhini!”
“Very accommodating and not afraid of big dogs! We got pictures and videos while our dog was boarded. Sunny came back more well behaved than when we dropped him off. The entire family seemed to love our dog and we will certainly drop him off here again when we need to.”
“Monica is very nice, genuinely cares for doggies and was caring and attentive to my Yogi. He played with friends outside, and got cuddles and snacks. Monica was accomodating and responsive. I received updates 2x day (pics and videos) and Yogi even got a report card and treat bag when picked up. Zero issues or complaints. Will definitely rebook with Monica.”
“We took our dog Carlie for an overnight stay with Ericka and Robert. We certainly were pleased with their hospitality and they took great care of our Labrador Retriever. We anticipate using their services again in the future. Thank you.”
“I cannot express the gratitude and happiness I feel for my dog sitter, Sapana. It was my first time ever using this website for my puppy. My puppy was perfectly taken care of. She sent me emails throughout the day, sent me pictures of my doggie playing happily with her dogs, and asked alot of questions when concerned. My puppy had just had surgery and Sapana took the time to clean her wound and made sure she was save and free of pain. I loved her and will definitely use her again!!”
“this was my first time using rover and, Christine did not disappoint. She kept me updated everyday and was basically one call away. She really made everything easy. 10 out of 10 definitely will recommend”
“Vanessa did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs. She sent pictures and updates. She also gave one of my dogs his medication twice a day on time. Both my dogs got along great with her dog and enjoyed playtime in her beautiful backyard! I would definitely recommend Vanessa to watch your dogs!”

Mary Kathryn took such good care of our furbaby for his first time boarding - we were quite nervous being away on an international trip in a different timezone but she still sent us daily updates and was super responsive! It was obvious our pup had the best time and got tons of love and attention, would 100% recommend!
I could not be happier with Rebecca and her family. She was constantly sending me pics and videos which I really appreciated. Felt very comfortable the moment we met for our meet and greet. Highly recommend! I'll definitely be using her as my main go-to going forward. 😁
Anabel did such an amazing job with our boys! One of our dogs recently had surgery, and she made every effort to enforce his activity limitations (which is hard when he loves to play!) I received many pictures while away, and I could tell my dogs were tired and happy when I got them home. Anabel is a great communicator, and we will definitely be using her again!
Gabriela is top-tier! You won’t find a nicer, more caring, and communicative person on this app for your pet(s). She took care of my two dogs for a business week as if they were her own. If I need another sitter for any amount of time I will certainly be contacting Gabriela! Hands down.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Watauga can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Watauga 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 Watauga.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Watauga. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Watauga 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
