“Brandy is an absolute gem! She’s ultra sweet and has such a charming and welcoming personality that instantly puts pets (and people) at ease. She really takes the time to understand my little guy’s unique personality and knows exactly how to approach and introduce herself in a calm, respectful way. Stacks adored her! Brandy was also extremely communicative and prompt throughout the entire process, which gave me total peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend her more highly—she’s a natural with animals and just a joy to work with! I feel so lucky to have found her!”
About: I bring over a year and a half of professional experience working with cats, handling everything from daily care routines to administering a variety of medications and basic medical support. I also have six months of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to large breeds like Mastiffs, and am comfortable meeting the needs of pets with different personalities and care requirements. I work full-time at an animal shelter, so providing attentive, compassionate care for animals is part of my daily routine. My early morning schedule allows me to spend the second half of my day focusing on giving your pets plenty of attention, care, and love. I share my home with a kitty who means the absolute world to me. He’s the sweetest boy and is always waiting at the door for cuddles the moment I get home. I make sure to keep life fun and enriching for him every day, whether that’s a long play session, brushing (his favorite) or a special treat. Because of how much I care for my own pet and pets at work, I understand how important it is to give animals the love, attention, and patience they deserve, and I’m confident I can provide that same level of care for your pets.
About: I have been around pets my whole life, but I’ve been taking care of them on my own for about 2 years. I also have personal experience owning a dog, a cat and two guinea pigs. I have cared for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets that need extra attention. Every pet I have taken care of has always been in good hands I’m a college student in the AFROTC program at UT Austin. My weekdays can get pretty busy with classes, but Mondays and Fridays I’m mostly free. I also have some breaks between classes Tuesday through Thursday where I can stop by for pet care. Fridays and weekends are usually wide open, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need I don’t bring pets into my own home, but I make sure they’re comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep up with feeding and walks, give them playtime and attention, and make sure they feel safe while you’re away.
“Super last minute request and she was so accommodating with my 3 lil kitties. They were well taken care of and loved on and I came back to all of them relaxed and happy :) Will book again!”
“Sierra did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. We got lots of pictures of him playing and getting treats and pets. I will definitely be booking with Sierra again!”
“When I first met Regan for a meet up so that she could meet my cat, GIGI, I knew instantly that I was very lucky to have found her! And for the week that she took care of GIGI, she proved to be an outstanding pet sitter! Daily, she sent me great pictures of GIGI relaxed and playful with Regan. I especially appreciated that Regan seemed very mature minded and serious about her responsibility for taking care of GIGI. I would absolutely recommend Regan to anyone who desired a professional and gentle pet sitter! A+++”
About: I've always grown up around dogs since I had two family dogs and my mom does dog sitting as a side job. I helped her a lot in high school so I have a lot of experience with this work. I love dogs and would love to take care of yours! I'm currently a college student at UT, I don't have anything going on in the summer so I'm mostly free anytime. I have a lot of time on my hands so I'll make sure to take good care of your pets When I enter other people's homes for pet care work, I make sure to leave the area clean and tidy. Always make sure the doors are locked and the pets are safe
“Anna is the best! She’s watched cinnamon multiple times for me now. Cinny is not easy and she goes above and beyond giving her the best care while I’m away. She is always responsive, and I can tell cinnamon is having a great time in all the photos. Could not recommend Anna more!”
About: I’ve always been the go-to for my friends dog & Kittie watch so I want to extend my help and love. I have experience with APA dog walking, local neighbors dogs and drop in’s for kittens whose owners are out of town! I’m an athlete so can provide high energy care. I’m a young professional who is on PTO through the summer months. I will be working remote from home come August so is flexible to help your needs! I can spend as much as an hour with you early mornings and evenings. I have summer off remotely so I am available anytime! I’m an early riser so love a good sunrise walk. Happy to work around your schedule I have 2 cats of my own and have fostered through APA. I have a safe house with a small patio for sunshine and play
“Samantha is fantastic! She and Daisy have hit it off! She has taken care of Daisy 2 times while I have been out of town and its great to know that Daisy is in good hands while I’m away. Thanks Samatha! Look forward to working with you more.”
“Brittany is incredibly responsive and attentive. She always took great pictures and left detailed summaries of her stays with my two cats. I would definitely hire her services again.”
“Arantxa did awesome with shadow. Was nervous as it was my first time using rover and have a dog with anxiety but had zero issues! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend”
“Amanda is a great communicator, keeping me updated each day. My cats didn't seem too excited to see me so I know she did a great job of keeping them well-fed and happy. Will use Amanda again!”
“Claire did an excellent job taking care of my cat! She was extremely communicative, friendly, and showed so much love to my pet! When I came home, the litter box was perfectly cleaned and my cat was calm and happy! Highly recommend her for cat care :)”

Nicky goes above and beyond!! She always gives me detailed updates during her visits and I know that she’s taking good care of my cat while I’m away. I’ve had bad Rover experiences in the past so it’s been great to find someone that I trust. She is the best!
Alyx was wonderful with Hex! She did drop-in visits and handled everything perfectly: keeping the litter clean, making sure he was fed, and clearly taking the time to make him feel at ease. Hex is my world, so it means a lot that he was totally comfortable with her. She also sent the cutest photos, which honestly made my day every time. Super responsive and reliable throughout. Would absolutely book again, highly recommend her!
Sydney is the best! I appreciated her stopping by ahead of my trip to meet Sasha & get acclimated with her space/routine. Sasha took to her immediately :) strong communication & a clear love for animals. So appreciate you, Sydney! Thank you for helping me & Sasha out in a pinch!
