“Dorothy was great! She was communicative and sent plenty of photos/updates of our dog while she had him. She took great care of him. We would use her again anytime!”
“The pups had a fantastic stay! Megan took great care of them and kept in touch with us. It was their first stay with a sitter so it was a learning experience and we’re so grateful.”
“I had a family emergency and as we know those aren't exactly planned. I was incredibly stressed to find last minute care for my very large dogs. Andrea and her husband understood my situation and within an hour after booking she took my dogs in. I was nervous to drop them off as I had no time to do research and make sure this was a good fit. I was really just desperate to find care. So as soon as I arrived my dog Immediately took to her. They trotted right into her house like they new where they were going and instantly made themselves at home. I felt relieved because I new that they would be comfortable and safe. My dogs are very spoiled they run my house and my biggest concern with sitters is that not everyone is gonna take of your dogs the way you do. However, I new they would be loved and happy at her home. I can't tell you how much easier my heart felt knowing this was one less thing I had to worry about. She sent me photos and reassured me they were doing great and when I needed to extend my trip a few more days they were able to accommodate me. 10/10 would recommend ?”
“Candice was very kind and sweet with Louie. Louie is older and at times is anxious. He seemed to get along well with the other dogs. Will definitely request Candice again, if she is willing.”
“Whitney always takes first class care of our boys! She’s been so kind to us and is truly a wonderful person with an amazing family. Dizzy and Wilson look forward to their visits every time and that makes our lives much easier when we have to be away from them.”
“Suzanne was very caring and thoughtful with our two dogs Maisie and Winnie. She made it very easy for us to get away for a weekend. Very thankful and will definitely book with her again. Thank you!”
“Amanda took such great care of Rudy! She was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She was also able to accommodate changes in pick up time and got him and his stuff packed up nicely. Thank you for taking care of my boy on such short notice Amanda!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, growing up on a farm where caring for a variety of animals was part of everyday life. My experience also includes working as a wrangler out West, where I handled and cared for horses and livestock in a professional setting. From puppies and dogs to larger animals, I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. At home, I have an energetic English Springer Spaniel puppy who loves making new friends and playing with other dogs. We have a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore safely. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active playtime, or just extra attention and affection, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re with me. Daily updates and photos are always included so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work outside the home from typically 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM on weekdays and am typically home the rest of the day. This allows me to spend plenty of quality time with pets in my care, including walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. My evenings and weekends are largely spent at home, ensuring your pet receives plenty of companionship and care throughout their stay. Pets are cared for in a safe, calm home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. When I’m away at work, all pets stay safely inside. I maintain a structured, secure environment and provide attentive care based on lifelong animal experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’m absolutely not new to caring for pets. I’ve had both cats and dogs for years, and I’m the person friends and neighbors trust when they need someone dependable who actually cares. I pay close attention to routines and what each animal needs to feel comfortable, and I follow instructions exactly so everything goes smoothly. I’m great with shy or sensitive pets, and I know how to keep them calm, happy, and feeling safe. I’m not a professional trainer, but I’m very comfortable with everyday care, basic commands, and keeping pets on their normal routine. Your pet will be in good hands with me—treated with patience, kindness, and the same love I give my own. I work from home part-time, have two kids in daycare, and a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my week, including weekends. I can care for pets in my home, where they’ll have a safe, comfortable space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard, so pets can enjoy some fresh air safely. I do have young children and will only take dogs/cats that are safe being around children, for both of our safety.
“Erin was wonderful taking care of our Brady it was his first time with another other my husband and me. She gave us daily reports on what his day was like and how he acted with her family. We were really surprised when she said that he was playing with the cats. We would definitely ask her to dog sit again in the future.”
“Leslie and her husband took AMAZING care of our 2 boys (1yr old lab and 1.5yr old German shepherd). They sent plenty of updates with pictures and videos - and even worked on all of their “tricks” with them. I can definitely say they went above and beyond for our dogs. We've never had a better experience leaving our pups somewhere then we did with Leslie (including family…. ?). I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, safe, and trustworthy dog sitter.”
About: Whitney Amanda but I go by Mandy!I am new to rover and looking to grow experience. My services are walks ( or even runs as I enjoy running!) and drop in visits. Since I work at the hospital during the day, I would drop in early in the morning, lunch break and/or evening visits. I’ve had pets of my own + I use to work in a pet care and spa for a bit. I would love too help you get great care for your fur babies!! I am currently full time at a hospital but looking to help with evening or overnight care. However, feel free to reach out as I do have off days here and there. Communication is the best form of care. You let me know what your pet needs and I am there! I am happy to provide a caring and nurturing environment for your pet.
“Great experience! She sent several pictures and updates. When we picked up Tinkerbell she was so happy. We’ve used Rover a lot and can tell she was well taken care of! We’ll definitely use her again!!”
“Absolutely wonderful!!! We had to pack for moving and it was easier to have Duck out of the house for one night. We received pictures and updates. We were a bit late picking him up but Paige was so understanding and great! Ducky had a great time, we would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, cats and birds. I currently have a German/Dutch Shepherd mix. I work from home, so it’s easy for me to get out during the day. I love animals, and I’d love to help if needed! I work from home, so my schedule is fairly open from 8:00am-3:00pm. After that, my kiddo would be with me for any stops. Weekends are good when I’m available! I can feed, water, stay for playtime, whatever you desire! I love animals, and I know they need breaks throughout the day if people work long hours.
About: My genuine interest and love for my own babies coupled with their happy, carefree, and free-roam attitudes makes me a prime & the right candidate to be your pet's new friend. I have two furbabies that I absolutely love & adore. I understand the importance and severity of wanting them to go... unfortunately, they simply can't for whatever reason. So, you do the next best thing, you hire me. Give me the opportunity to extend my love, adoration and safe environment to your furbaby (canine or feline). If you hire me, worrying about your pet will be the least of your worries, as it should be. Help me to help you give your pet a vacation-like stay while you're away. You'll be glad you did. I'm retired so I'm home all day. I have lots of time to hang, lounge and play with your furbaby(ies) and I'll enjoy every minute In my home and client's home, the treatment is basically the same. Furbabies are given cuddles, hugs, and attention. They are fed, walked and allowed to run around and squabble in the back yard.
“My puppy dude and I love Jillian. This was my first time using rover. My goldendoodle has very high anxiety. He did fantastic with her. She sent updates and photos throughout his time with her. She eased both our anxiety.”

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 Westphalia 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 Westphalia 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 Westphalia.
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 Westphalia. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Westphalia 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.
