“What great experience for our Dulce. Mr. Wes sent pictures of her playing with the other dogs and we could tell she was having a great time. Will definitely rebook with him for future stays.”
“We had the best experience at Page Ranch!! There’s plenty of room to explore on the ranch. Our dog had some special requests with medications and Kelly was great with everything! We received lots of pictures/videos and updates for our girl. Highly recommend!”
“This is the second time that Lili has taken care of Ellie. Once again, we were so happy with the care and love our Ellie received. We will definitely rebook for future vacations. Thank you!!”
“We are so glad we connected with your family, Jaime! It was a big relief to know Jack was being loved on all week! We appreciated all the pictures and updates!! Thank you, thank you!”
“My dog Abby LOVES going to Amber's house. She loves the cuddles, the kids, the other animals and having a new place to explore. Amber is so sweet and kind. I highly recommend you contact her to watch your dog!”
“Molly is amazing! She loves our Chuy as one of her own, and he is very happy to be part of the family while he is there. Molly is flexible and accommodating with scheduling and communicative while I am away. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
“Diana is the best sitter I have ever had. She was genuine about how much she cares about dogs and especially my pups. She had the confidence to tame elvis's heart so much so that he followed her around the house. Tucker who is often afraid of other dogs, felt secure enough to play and be his joyful self. She took photos of the dogs in the morning and after noon and night. She shared their joyous moments and it was obvious they loved their stay. If you are on the fence about picking this perfect dog sitter, don't be. She is the best of the best.......”
“Jackie and Jorge were amazing with our girl. We went on 8 day journey where she would not have been happy. Jackie let us bring her about a month before to see if they liked each other and if her pup would get along. Missy is a service dog so we were concerned about the separation. We give thanks that God sent us to them. Absolutely great care, lots of pictures and updates. Missy was taken care of so much better than any kennel would have. We will definitely contact when we need someone to care for her again! Thank you Jackie and Jorge”
“Noah spent the weekend with Robin and he looked so happy in the pics she sent. Once again, I picked up a happy puppy! I am so pleased. I’m told he is welcomed anytime and I am definitely taking him to her. Thanks Robin!! 😃”
“Jack had so much fun playing with the other dogs! Caroline was friendly and responsive! It’s so important to trust the boarder and this was our first time using Caroline and we definitely will use again! I felt like Caroline treated Jack like he was one of hers! Thank you so much for keeping Jack so we could have a worry free vacation! And thanks for the pictures!!”
“Alix took such great care of our dog! She sent us photo updates and we knew she was happy as could be! She was punctional and picked her up and dropped us off when she said. We will definitely use her again!”
“Hui was available on super short notice and took such great care of Nacho. She sent videos daily, bathed him, and was quick with communication. I will definitely be bringing him back soon. 10 out of 10.”
“Betsy and her husband were great! Piper was definitely well loved and taken care of the couple of days she stayed. She slept so good after we got her home! We will definitely be going back to Betsy in the future?”
“Highly highly recommend Jody! Jody and her husband were absolutely fantastic and more than we could have asked for. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous with the experience but Jody made us feel assured from the moment we met her. Our girl spent 6 nights and Jody was great with providing pictures and updates each day. You can tell she truly cares about dogs and wants to make them feel comfortable and like at home. If you are hesitant, you can feel comfortable with Jody! We look forward to bringing back our dog for another visit.”
“Amazing! We are so lucky to have found Victoria - especially with an urgent need and such short notice. Her communication was top notch, she was so loving with our sweet Mollie (I’m not sure Mollie wanted to come back with us). If you need someone in the SA area - you have to book with Victoria!”
“Karen was wonderful with my senior dog. She sent me pictures and videos of her throughout the stay. My dog was relaxed , comfortable and took a liking to her right away. I will definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for exceptional care of their pet. She even sent my doggie home with treats which I found to be so thoughtful and kind. Book her , you won’t regret it .”
“Fernando was wonderful! I can tell my pup had a great time with his fur babies! I really appreciated his transparent communication and his frequent photos that he sent to help ease my heart while away from my fur baby!! We will 100% use Fernando again for our future boarding needs ☺️ thank you again Fernando!”
“I’ve never left my sweet dog with anyone I didn’t know. But with Aileen I felt at ease the first time I met her. And then as I was on my vacation Aileen kept me updated on my pets status and sent me pictures. Cora was loved and well taken care of. Thank you so much Aileen!”

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 Welfare 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 Welfare.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Welfare 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.
