“Burak took the best care of Kai! He was so accommodating to our schedule and made this trip super easy! Can’t wait to be back in Houston and see him again! Thank you Burak!”
“Shamareya was extremely communicative and very understanding of my dog’s specific potty training challenges, which I know many others may have been hesitant to take on. Her home is beautiful, spacious, and offers ample indoor and outdoor areas for dogs to enjoy. My dog came home exactly as I dropped him off, which reassured me he was in great hands throughout his stay. Highly recommend Shamareya!!”
“She did great with my dog Ace. She is super nice and professional. I work long 12hr shifts and she was very flexible and accommodating with my pick up and drop off schedule. Would deff book again!”
“Brooke has been my saving grace. I utilized daycare with Brooke 3-4 times a week, for the last 3 months. She went above and beyond for me and my dog, and I truly can't say enough great things. She cared for my dog as if he were her own and sent daily check-in messages along with pictures. I would 1000% recommend her and refer her to anyone looking for a wonderful caretaker for their animal.”
“A supremely dedicated and focused sitter. She asked great questions about Wilson and his interaction w dogs and cats. More importantly, she listened closely and gave great feedback throughout Wilson’s visit. Wonderful, caring sitter.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog parent myself, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, including larger dogs, and I’m very attentive to their routines, behavior, comfort, and safety. I’m patient, affectionate, and happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule—whether that means walks, playtime, feeding routines, medications, extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also pay close attention to small changes in behavior and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is being genuinely cared for. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet the way I’d want someone to treat my own: with patience, kindness, attention, and lots of love. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have 2 dogs of my own, so walks, feeding, playtime, attention, and making sure they’re comfortable and happy are things I’m used to planning my day around. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, drop-in visits, or sitting throughout the week. I also like to keep pets on the routine they’re already used to, so I’m happy to work around their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and bedtime schedules. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow their instructions carefully for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special routines. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention and companionship while respecting their space and personality.
About: I tailor each walk to your dog’s needs and energy level. Whether your pup enjoys a relaxed stroll or an active run, I’m happy to match their pace and help them get the exercise they need. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and a consistent part of your pet’s routine, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for every time we’re together. As a full-time student with a very flexible summer schedule, I have plenty of availability to provide reliable and consistent pet care. I’m an active person who enjoys daily walks and runs, so dog walking naturally fits into my routine. I love spending time outdoors, and I’m committed to making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and care they deserve. I always follow your instructions and make your pet’s safety my top priority. I’ll make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise based on their age, energy level, and needs while keeping them comfortable and happy throughout the walk. I pay close attention to leash safety, avoid situations that could be stressful or unsafe, and will always treat your pet as if they were my own. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you’ll know your dog is having a great time while you’re away.
“Stephanie is fantastic! She is so sweet and kind—Lavinia is happy and comfortable when with her. Stephanie sends photos throughout the day and is very easy to communicate with!”
“I am so grateful to have found Abigail. She is professional, so organized, responsive, and loving. She’s exactly what you would want in someone caring for your pup. Her home is a dog paradise with a backyard and so many sunny spots to sit, and my dog clearly enjoyed all his time there. I will definitely be using Abigail again :)”
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and have experience caring for pets for friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with different sizes, breeds, and personalities, including energetic dogs and those who need a little extra patience. 🐶 I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I went to school to be a veterinarian so it is something I truly love.💕 I also have a car, so I’m flexible and able to travel, and I’m great with following specific care instructions and routines. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I keep a very flexible schedule so I can be available when pet parents need me most. I’m open for morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as weekends. Since I plan my days around bookings (and this is my only job), I’m able to give pets consistent attention and not rush through visits or walks. I also try to be accommodating with last-minute requests whenever possible. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment for every pet, whether I’m in my home or a client’s home. I always follow the pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions. I’m very attentive during walks and visits, making sure pets are secure, hydrated, and never put in unsafe situations. I also keep spaces clean, double check doors and gates, and make sure pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away. (exactly what I would want for my own pet!) I believe communication is important, so I provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is in the best hands!
About: I have fostered dogs and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, and I genuinely enjoy helping people who need support with their furry sidekick while they are away. I am a pet parent myself to an anxious rescue puppy, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your animal. I have experience with reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and all kinds of rescue backgrounds. I have also had cats, so I am familiar with every temperament and never take anything personally. I previously cared for a senior dog who needed daily medication, so I am comfortable and experienced giving medications to both cats and dogs. I have fostered puppies and adult dogs as well, so I can easily handle any medication or special requests. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I’m currently a doctoral student and do most work from home so my schedule is very open and flexible. I am available everyday of the week and open schedule for timing. I do not have a backyard, however I live next to Midtown park that has a dog park that very few dogs attend and so your furry friend will have many opportunities to run around! I do have one anxious dog that will be kept away from your pet if needed. However, your pet will have access to the 2 bedroom apartment and their own room to sleep in.
“Lily loved Adrian right away 🥰 Adrian was very easy going and cordial. His time and service gave our visit to MD Anderson some relief knowing Lily was being well taken care of.”

Mandy watched our sweet 4 month old puppy Nala for the day and all I can see is my pup LOVED her! She sent updates during the day and accommodated to her needs as best she could! Not to mention that Nala got along great with her dog Finley. She will definitely be hearing from us in the future!

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 University Place 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,459 sitters in West University Place, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
