“Not being from in town, trying to find someone I could rely on and trust worthy was stressful. Tommie and Jeffrey took exceptional care of my dog while easing my own stress and anxiety. My dog came back to me exhausted from all the fun she had. They updated by throughout the day with pictures. From the pictures, she looked like she was having the time of her life!”
“It was an awesome experience for Paki and for myself. Jocelyn and her family are very kind and they know what they are doing. She was in constant communication, and I really appreciated the fact that she showed me the area where Paki would stay. I would definitely have Paki stay with them for next time.. either daycare or boarding !”
“I’m a first time dog owner and I was beyond impressed with Chelsie with our 6 month old puppy. She would send pictures and kept us updated. She was even willing to come pick up our puppy instead of us having to meet her at her place once. We will continue to use Chelsie in the future.”
“Steven is great! He takes good care of my puppy and always gives updates with cute pictures. Also he is very flexible with time and date. Whenever I look for a sitter, I look for Steven first!”
“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!”
“Adriana was very communicative and kept my mind at ease. She was so nice and concerned about any ailments Friday had. She was very flexible with my schedule as well. I would definitely book her 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.”
“Amauche was great with my puppy! She was always excited to get dropped off! I will definitely leave my puppy with Amauche again. Thank you so much again Amauche!”
“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.”
“Priyanka has been watching my dog consistently 4 days a week while I am at work. I’ve never seen my dog so excited to leave the house before and yet, when I say, “do you want to go to Miss Priyanka’s house?” She goes crazy pawing at the door ready to leave! I plan to keep dropping my baby off with Priyanka every week for the foreseeable future.”
“Needed a last minute sitter for the day and Chant was gracious enough to take both my dogs. One was a senior dog who needed extra bathroom breaks and the other had higher energy who's usually skittish of new environments. Chant made sure both dogs adjusted and were well taken care of. Despite my dog's protests, she even jumped hoops to make sure one of them took their medication. Highly recommend!”
“Udi loves going to Kimberly’s place and she’s always sad to leave! She sends me regular updates about Udi throughout the day and she understands her goofy pittie personality as well. Udi also loves playing with Kimberly’s pup Omega. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Our puppy had such a great time at daycare. He loved getting to play with the other dogs, and it was so reassuring to receive lots of photo and video updates throughout the day. Miranda and Paula are wonderful. They clearly care about the dogs and made sure our pup was happy and having fun. We really appreciated the great communication!”
“Keith and Rachel were super welcoming to our dog, they walked her even during the day, gave her lots of attention and care, and sent frequent photos. We felt completely at easy and would happily book with them again.”
“My dog had his first visit with Stephanie and it was great. Stephanie sends pictures without being prompted. She explained everything to me as a first timer and my dog really enjoyed being loved on by Stephanie. I will rebook.”

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.
