“Eva is the best! Very accommodating, very communicative, and so so loving with Max. It's always a treat when he gets to spend time with Eva and her family. Highly recommend!”

About: I've been around dogs for my whole life including my own dogs, family dogs, friends' dogs I’ve cared for. I'm comfortable with big dogs, puppies, and seniors! I pay attention to each dog's pace and personality, so walks are fun for them and not just a lap around the block. I've cared for dogs overnight and for multi-day stays, including feeding schedules, medications, and crate routines. I treat every dog like my own and keep to the routine they know from home. I'm a graduate student in Austin, so I plan pet care around my classes and work. I'm usually free early mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I keep my Rover calendar up to date so you always know when I'm available. I'm happy to take regular weekly walks or one-off stays. I follow your dog's routine exactly, including feeding times, walks, medications, and house rules. Dogs stay leashed on every walk, I double-check doors and gates, and I avoid hot pavement in the Texas heat. I send photos and updates at every visit and keep your vet and emergency contact info on hand.
“Alice was so great! she was super communicative and followed all care instructions very closely. She sent so many updates/pics and my pup was literally smiling every single one of them! Will definitely rebook in the future!”

“I went with Kate specifically because her profile mentioned she has owned Chihuahuas, and knowing that she understands the breed made a big difference for me. I'm so glad I went with my gut on that decision. She kept me updated with several photos throughout the stay, took Jelly Bean on multiple walks, and her dog Milo was incredibly calm and easygoing, which is exactly the kind of environment I wanted for my pup. Her prices are very reasonable, she's attentive and communicative, and just an all-around wonderful person. I've already booked her again for next week and won't hesitate to keep coming back. Highly recommend!”

“Our experience was fantastic from start to finish! You can really tell Maggie truly loves dogs. Rainier loved her time with Maggie and Ollie. My dog has separation anxiety but after a bit, she was relaxed and having a great time. Maggie even sent me update pictures throughout the day. I’m really appreciative of her and she was willing to take rainier super last minute to help us. I would 100% recommend her.”

“Amazing care takers. I was out of town for a week and they always kept me informed and up to date on Wally. They even gave me some tips and ideas for helping with his tendencies. Highly recommend!”

About: Your pup and I will have so much fun! I’m very attentive and love caring for animals, especially dogs. I have fostered numerous dogs and have years of experience pet sitting/walking for family, friends, and clients here on Rover. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, there is no better excuse to get outside during the day than to take a cute pup for a walk. I love going on walks, staying active or just lounging outdoors and would love to bring your pups along with me! 🥰 I’ve been told what sets me apart is my willingness to go the extra mile. I am more than happy to do additional chores around your home when dog-sitting & I promise you will find your home cleaner than you left it when you return. I have experience with reactive/aggressive dogs, seniors, hearing-impaired dogs, and puppies. I am available to care for your pet anytime during the weekdays with little to no notice. Please reach out as I am accepting new clients! Able to pet-sit most weekends as well. I am happy to walk your dog or care for him/her in your home or neighborhood. My home is also open for pet care. I have a female kitten named Wiggles who gets along very well with dogs.
“We recently adopted two pit bull lab puppies and were hesitant to board them for the first time given how young and high energy they are. We could not have been more at ease leaving them with Joe! After contacting him he immediately reached out to offer a pre boarding meet and greet. His communication was superb and he was great with the dogs. While boarding he sent great photos showing us how happy our dogs were, took them on walks and sent us updates on how they were settling in! It was a fantastic experience and I am now much more confident traveling out of town and knowing that my dogs will be well taken care of! Highly recommend him if you are looking for a boarder in Austin!!!!”

“Mie & Dallas were amazing with our dog Otis! He was such a happy boy when we picked him up. They took such great care of him and provided wonderful pictures and updates. We will definitely be booking them again to watch Otis!”


“This was the first time our dog Saber was away from family. She was a little nervous at first , but Arie and Etty were so kind and sweet she settled right in and had a great vacation, as Etty would say :-). Overall, Arie and Etty were just wonderful, they are role model dog sitters ! They took great care of our Saber and updated us with pictures regularly which put us so at ease.”

“Hanna totally rocks! From the very start in booking, to picking up my dog, she was wonderful to work with. She is a great communicator and continually sent fun updates to keep me posted. I highly suggest Hanna for a 5-star experience :)”

“Jennifer is amazing with my cat! Jennifer always sends photos every day and replies quickly. She will go out of her way to make sure your cat has a great time. She is seriously the best cat sitter ever!! I hope my cat gets to stay with Jennifer again!”

“Allison was great with Churro. She took him on lots of walks, spent time playing with him, and clearly gave him a lot of attention and care. She also sent frequent pictures throughout the day, which made us feel really good knowing he was in great hands. I’d absolutely book with Allison again for Churro. Thank you so much, Allison!”

“Annie did an amazing job watching my dog Arya! She provided daily updates and included many cute photos and videos. I would highly recommend Annie for dog sitting and will certainly be utilizing her services again in the near future.”

About: Huge dog lover! I’ve had dogs in my family since I was born, and I believe the statement “dogs are man’s best friend” is entirely true. I’m a student, however, my availability is very flexible as many class I take are online. I have plenty of time to care after, walk, and play with your pets! I do not have any dogs currently, but my roomates are also, like myself, dog lovers! I live in an apartment, however, it is very easy to access the outside and grass lawns for your pup to play/ use the restroom.
“Chandler is an amazing dog sitter! She is our go-to dog sitter for our shih tzu puppy, Mochi. Mochi loves her and Chandler is in consistent communication with us and takes her out on walks and makes sure she has plenty of play time.”

“This was my first time using Rover, and Diana certainly made me feel at ease from the start, as well as my dog. She was very kind, patient, and calm and my dog felt very comfortable with her. I will be booking with her again in the future”

Allison is such a delight! I appreciate her so much! This was my first time using Rover and she made the process super easy and stress free. Allison looked after my baby Cesar sooooo well, with consistent updates, good communication, and overall just amazing to trust her with my baby. I highly recommend Allison and will definitely be booking with her for Cesar, thank you so much Allison! :)

My dog Sirius always has an amazing time when he stays with Chandler, and I always know he’s in great hands while I’m gone. I get several updates and pictures throughout the day, he gets lots of walks, scratches and enrichment, and Chandler will even make sure to take him to doggy daycare while I’m gone if I want him to get a little extra socialization in.

Sofia is an amazing pet sitter. We left our 2-year old Lab with her for a 4-day weekend and he came back to us so happy. She kept us posted each day with photos of the two of them out and about. Or just lounging in her house. You can tell she cares and loves dogs a lot and is amazing with them. We will absolutely be using her again.

Sofia was great! She sent me pictures multiple times a day, which definitely made me feel alot more at ease while I was out of town for almost an entire week. Her dog Juni & my puppy got along sooo well and were playing the whole time, which made me so happy that my pup got to spend a lot of time with another sweet dog! 10/10 recommend Sofia and will definitely be booking with her again!

My dog had a wonderful time with Bassam! I was coming from Austin on a roadtrip and felt secure while my dog stayed with Bassam. He sent photos and let me know the schedule for the dogs. My dog loved his huge yard to run around and play. Thank you again, I will book again next time I am in Austin!
