About: Providing a stress free environment from a stay at home nana. I would love to create a home away from home for your beloved fur baby. Life long love for animals. I work from home so can accommodate to your fur babies schedule. My home is quiet and easy to navigate for any pet that may have anxiety. My backyard is fenced in and can provide plenty of room for activity. I usually let my chihuahua out every hour or so, or give him the option to go out. He generally likes to stay under his blanket a majority of the day though. He does get along well with other dogs, as he has lived with larger dogs previously.
About: Taken care of multiple animals throughout my life. Big backyard, and a lot of love to give. Safe neighborhood for long walks. Can train puppies basic tricks. I have a furry companion of my own, taking care of him is one of my favorite things to do everyday. I always have time to play with him and take a run or walk with him. I have a large fenced yard and an extremely friendly dog. I keep anything that they can ingest out of reach so they can stay safe.
“Lina was great!!!!! Our first time with her and she made me feel really comfortable leaving my baby. She sent plenty of pics and videos and my Koa had a wonderful day!!!! Will be back!!!!🐶🐶”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since I got my first pup at age 5, and I’ve been raising and caring for them ever since. Our home includes a 7-year-old mini Frenchie who’s a pro at reading the room - she loves a good play session but also knows when to give other dogs their space. My 3.5-year-old is growing up with the same love for dogs and has learned to respect boundaries and recognize when it’s time to play or give pets their space. Your dog will be treated like family here, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm, dog-savvy household that understands every pup is unique. We have a fenced-in backyard for as much outdoor play your pup may require. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, which means I’m around throughout the day to provide attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My routine naturally revolves around my own pup’s needs, so caring for your dog fits seamlessly into our daily flow. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or just hanging out together while I work, your dog will have consistent supervision and plenty of quality time. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. My 20-pound mini Frenchie is always up for a playmate when the vibe is right, but she’s equally content to let other pups do their own thing. For peace of mind, we’re just 8 minutes from the nearest emergency vet, so immediate care is readily accessible if ever needed.
“We recently moved from the only house my dogs knew and they have never been to a dog sitter before. They have been a little sheltered. I was so nervous leaving them, but Nancy and her granddaughter have been so accommodating and patient with my fur babies. After only a couple of days, my dogs are more relaxed and now seem to look forward to going to Nancy’s house! If you are looking for someone who will do a great job caring for your pet then give Nancy a call!”
“From the very first interaction, Portia demonstrated a level of professionalism and genuine care that immediately put me at ease. Before my dogs even arrived, she took the time to have a lengthy telephone conversation with me to fully understand their individual needs and to ensure she could provide the highest quality of care — that kind of dedication is rare and deeply appreciated. Porsche was wonderfully attentive to making sure my dogs would be comfortable in her home, and took great care to consider how they would get along with her own dog, Scooby, who turned out to be a quiet and absolute delight. What truly stood out was her thoughtfulness - She hid treats around the house to welcome my dogs and to gently distract them as I left — a small but incredibly meaningful touch, especially for my German Shepherd, who suffers from separation anxiety and other sensitivities. She could not have been more understanding or gentle with her. Throughout the stay, Porstia kept me updated with regular photos and videos so I could see exactly how my babies were getting on — which made a world of difference to my peace of mind. She is punctual, reliable, warm, and kind. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any dog owner, particularly those with dogs who have special needs. We will absolutely be returning!”
“Eva and Kallven treated my new 4 month old puppy lovingly like one of their own. I was happy he was able to socialize with other dogs and Eva even separated him from the larger livelier dog she was boarding so he would feel comfortable. She sent me pics and videos showing how well he was doing and was very responsive to my messages. I did a trial doggy daycare to see how my pup did before boarding him for a few days and he did very well!! I felt very comfortable using them to board him during my vacation.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your West Columbia commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
