“Samantha is AWESOME!!! WHEN WE DROPPED STELLA OFF IT WAS SUCH A WARM AND FRIENDLY FEELING. She cares about pets and other people's pets. Because Stella was treated so well we were worried she wouldn't want to come home. She even sent us pictures while we were gone to let us know how she was doing. You'll never get another sitter as good as Samantha!!! We will certainly be using her anytime we need a sitter for Stella.. give her a chance and you won't be sorry!!”
“Scout was great! Very interactive with sending photos while we were away on our trip and our pup Layla got some much needed adventure while on the farm with Scout and her family too!”
“So so wonderful knowing that our dog was well taken care of with a wonderful person who understands and loves dogs. We will reach out to Amber first the next time we need to go out of town.”

Austin dog parents share their Rover experiences
AN ABSOLUTE GEM💗 when my parents came to visit from out of state and needed a dogger sitter for a quick getaway they used Shannon. Then they recommended her to us for our first time to use Rover. I am so glad we did and now I don’t have to stress anytime I need a doggy sitter, that is unless Shannon is unavailable. She is incredibly flexible. And her family loves the fur babies like her own! I’m so thankful to have used her. I highly recommend!
