âOlha was without question the most trustworthy and caring sitter. Her home is so clean and bright, her smile is warm, and you can see the love she has for animals. She sent daily pix and reports and was so easy to communicate with. Highly, highly recommended!â

âAshley was the nicest & very professional and def flexible ,I will for sure recommend Rover to all my friends that have pets for there boarding needs ! Thanks again Ashley ! My dogs were comfortable and ty for pics as well ! â?ď¸â

âAimee is an incredibly caring and loving dogsitter. She treated our chihuahua Elvie with so much warmth kindness over 2 weeks, and judging by the pics and videos Aimee sent throughout her stay, our pup had a blast. Aimee was incredibly responsive and communicative, and we could not possibly recommend her any more. We will 100% book with her again.â

About: I've been passionate about dogs since childhood, starting with my two dogs at home (golden retriever and chocolate labđ¤). In high school and throughout college, I began regularly pet sitting for local families and working professionals who did not have time during the week to give their dogs the love they needed. With experience across various breeds, I bring dedication and a deep understanding of pet care to every pet-sitting opportunity. Your pets are in great hands with me! Iâm working full time, but remote 3 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, Friday). I am open to overnight care for long weekends, after work care, and lunchtime walks for local families. Growing up with pets has shown me the importance of true love and care for dogs. I always give them plenty of attention and treat them as if they were my own. I make it a point to leave your home better than I found it, always handling any accidents and keeping things tidy.
âTater had a great time with Sarah & her dog, Dewey. Received regular pics and was prompt with texts on any questions I had while I was on vacation. This gave me piece of mind. Highly recommend her.â

âWhen my apartment needed unexpected emergency repairs, I suddenly had nowhere to take my cat. Emily responded right away to my last-minute boarding request and Iâm so thankful my cat had a safe and caring place to stay for the day.â

âI donât know who had a better time: Luna, Samuel, or us! đ LOVED our experience with Samuel and look forward to booking again. He was communicative, thoughtful and took great care of our pup.â

âBear had so much fun with Cheyenne! She is always responsive and we loved seeing photos of their adventures and cuddles! Definitely plan to reach out to her next time we travel out of town. ?â

âStephanie and Todd were great dog sitters-they sent updates and pictures every day and took good care of our Golden! I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others!!â

âWe're so happy we decided to leave Cheddar with Kristen! She was extremely easy to work with and sent daily photos of our smiling pup! The huge backyard is perfect for several dogs to play in and get exercise. We'll definitely use her for day care and overnight boarding again!â

âAlice is Very nice and comforting knowing the care she gave jester during his stay! We got great updates and photos and Jester really seemed to enjoy his stay. We will board with Alice in the future for sure !â

âElijah was fantastic and made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog. It was our first time boarding and I felt confident leaving her once I met him and Zee.â

âAsha was fantastic w/ Bella. Asha updated me every day and sent me a ton of pictures (which I wanted). She was very receptive and open. Sheâs great!!! 10/10 would book again and recommend! :)â

âJose is absolutely awesome! My pup is always sad to leave! He takes great care of our baby, and we know she is in good and safe hands, when she's at Jose's. â¤ď¸â

âMarissa was a wonderful sitter for Goose! She gave daily updates and pics, and seemed to be super comforting and considerate of him during this weeklong, rainy stay.â

âAlixandria is awesome! She took great care of my dog and was very communicative while I was away. Sheâll be the first person I contact next time Tobi needs a dog sitter :)â

âBarbara took wonderful care of Ellie. She had so much care and attention. Barbara sent lots of pictures and was highly communicative. My dog had a great time!â

Austin pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is my second time booking with her, and I canât recommend her enough. Sheâs always so kind, reliable, and my dog is clearly comfortable with her, I never have to worry when heâs in her care. She makes the whole process stress-free. Definitely booking again!

This is the second time that Aisling has taken care of my dog Sofia. I am always comfortable leaving her there as she has a fenced back yard, only takes one dog at a time, and gives regular walks. Aisling communicates at least once daily with written updates and photos which makes us feel at ease. She also responds immediately to all texts/communications etc. Thanks again Aisling and hope Sofia can stay with you again in the future.

Portia did such an incredible job watching my dog - from the consistent communication, to sending pictures, to keeping my dog safe, exercised, and happy. I canât say enough good things about the boarding experience! Would highly recommend and will certainly be boarding with her again :)

Hannah was absolutely incredible with my dog, Moose! She took such great care of her and sent me the cutest photo updates throughout her stay. Moose clearly had the best timeâshe got plenty of exercise on her walks and looked so happy in every picture Hannah sent. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Moose already misses her and we will definitely be booking with Hannah again!
