“Nakeya was great and very patient with our 3 month old pup. After we picked him up, he was tired the rest of the day from all the fun he had playing with the new puppy friends he met. Nakeya kept us informed the whole time we were on vacation with pictures and videos of the fun our pup was having. Thank you so much! Will definitely use Nakeya again.”
“I can’t thank you enough for watching Arthur and Parker, they were fast asleep on the way home which tells me that they had an amazing time with you both and Lucy! We are so grateful to have found Richard and Stephanie because they understand the energy of boxers and were more than happy to help them use up that energy. We appreciated the communication and especially the pictures, thank you so much! I highly recommend Richard and Stephanie.”
“Cathy is truly a blessing! She takes such amazing care of my Hulk, and the way he lights up around her says it all. She communicates so well and always makes me feel at ease when he’s with her. Even his Thanksgiving picture came out perfect he looked so happy and comfortable. Cathy has become our absolute favorite, and we’ll continue coming back to her every time. So grateful for her! 🐾❤️”
“Shara took such great care of our puppy. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would highly recommend her for dog sitting and definitely great with puppies!”
“I booked last minute and Aushalayi was so accommodating and kind. She care. For my baby so well he seemed at peace when I picked him up! I will definitely be booking with her and her family in the near future!”
“Lacy was very caring and loving with our pup! She made sure to inform us of his daily activities with pictures and updates. We would definitely recommend and will be rebooking for future stays.”
“Thank you so much Don & Doloris for taking good care of my 3 babies. Teddy, Athena and Maverick had a wonderful stay and could play with plenty of other dogs! Highly recommended”
“We had a wonderful experience with Meghan and John watching our dogs, Boo and Teddy. From the start, they were warm, communicative, and clearly experienced. We especially appreciated the daily pictures and updates- it was so reassuring to see our pups happy and well cared for. Boo can be a bit sensitive and picky with new people, but Meghan and John were incredibly patient and helped her feel right at home. They also had access to a great yard, which gave them plenty of space to play and explore (SQUIRREL!). It was clear both dogs had a great time and came home relaxed and content. We’d absolutely book with them again! HIGHLY recommend!!!”
“Mrs. Trudie is so understanding and flexible. I went out of town and having a 16 hour drive and time constraints upon arrival. She worked very closely with me to make sure my giant puppy was taken care of. She is truly appreciated.”
“Min was stepmommy & Max ( her son) were wonderful to Ide’Claire & Yippie for 11 days. She sent videos daily. Yippie was stuck to Max! Always on top of him. Ide’Claire was attached to Min. Prior to my departure I was crying. My babies are with me 24/7. Worried about leaving due to small sizes, hypoglycemia being fragile. Yippie has almost died twice in the past eight months. She had been on I.V.’s due to blood sugar dropping and going into a coma. She needs Nutracal or food every five hours to keep her blood sugar regulated. So many instructions for Min I was concerned. She must have thought I was crazy. Yippie cannot have unfiltered water. She literally turns dark brown her face and then her back end after she uses the restroom. Sent bottled water to Min and she followed all immense instructions. She was concerned herself before taking the reservation. She and Max came to my home to meet us. Both animals loved them both immediately. Once Min started sending videos and pictures never worried as both babies were always on top of them or playing. Thought they were growing. Yesss, absolutely grew. Upon arrival back home Yippie gained .75 and Ide’Claire gained 1 pound. Both only three and four pound weight before departure. That tells you Min certainly fed them and they didn’t miss their Mommy. Some dogs get upset and will not eat. It was a concern for me. Chose Min because I knew from her pics my animals would love the attention of the added bonus of attention from her sons. They slept in her bed as if her own children. They didn’t miss a thing. Actually Ide’Claire has missed Min. She has woken up during the middle of the night, moves away, just sits thinking. I have to tell her, It’s okay and love on her. Never ever has it happened in her lifetime. If you want your babies coming home better than the way you left them you’ll want Min & Max. Mine came home cleaner, trimmed nails and fatter! Will definitely go back to visit often no doubt. I won’t even cry next time.”
“Lisa was the most amazing sitter with our little mini weenie! It was his first time to be left alone ever and she made his whole stay so comfortable and made our vacation enjoyable without worrying! She is reliable and communicative! We definitely found our sitter🤍 you will not be disappointed!”
“Ztavia was amazing . I had to book her last minute due to needing to switch baby sitters. Ghost stayed with Ztavia for a week. He was well taken care of. Consistent updates, quick response times when I reach out. All in all my baby was taken care of and didn’t go without. Highly recommend you will not be disappointed!!!”
“OMG!! Aimee is the BEST!! This is the 2nd time we have had to leave our Zeus with someone, other than my parents, so we were nervous, but Aimee took all of our fears away. She sent personalized collages, photos, videos, and notes throughout his stay to keep us informed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone to not only look after their fur baby while they are away but also someone to care for your fur baby like he/she is her own! I look forward to having Zeus be a part of her family the next time we are away. Thank you so much Aimee ❤️”
“Mike and Abby did an incredible job caring for my dog. My dog can be a little nervous and reactive in new situations but he did so well with them! I love that they have their own dogs and big fenced in yard. It gave my dog an opportunity to socialize with other dogs and run around in an open area. They were extremely responsive and accommodating with planning drop-off and pick-off, which was especially appreciated and helpful during the holiday time. I will 1000% book with them again in the future.”
“Our dog was so well cared for, loved, and we know she really enjoyed her stay. We booked a 10 day trip and while our dog is used to being away from us for stretches, she’s a senior with some quirks and we are always worried. Sangwian shared many pictures with us and we always knew our dog was comfortable and well taken care of. Would recommend to others and would book again ourselves!”
“Very sweet couple that watched my Teddy. They gave me constant updates and were so patient with some separation anxiety that he was experiencing. I would use them again in a heartbeat except I feel terrible about how he acted and don't think that I would put them through that again 🥺”
“I can’t recommend her enough as a dog sitter. She’s not only incredibly attentive to my pup’s needs, but she also communicates quickly and thoughtfully. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such careful hands!”
“Stephanie and crew were fantastic! Our Mimi had a great time and we thoroughly enjoyed the pictures. Communication throughout booking and boarding were excellent. We look forward to booking with Stephanie again!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Wilmer 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 Wilmer 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 Wilmer.
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 Wilmer. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 Wilmer 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.
