“Hollie is our go-to sitter whenever we leave out of town! She took wonderful care of our cats for our longer, one month away and we were so relieved to have someone so dedicated as her.”
“If I could give 100 out of 10, I would. Ericka is a DELIGHT. She’s so communicative and completely went the extra mile. I had to leave in a bit of a rush and she helped me with a huge favor, but she went above and beyond and even cleaned the cats litter boxes, which were super dirty (I’m setting up my litter robot this week). She went above and beyond and also fed some stray cats that I’ve been feeding and was so sweet about my house and my pets. She was reliable and consistent. Huge fan of her as a human and as a great trusted person who can take care of the fluffy loves of my life ❤️”
“Lizeth did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! She checked in daily, kept the areas clean and tidy, and followed our instructions beautifully. I highly recommend her for your future pet care needs.”
“6/5 stars!! Being gone for 2.5 weeks is stressful on any pet parent, but Karen was amazing at keeping me informed on their shenanigans, sending cute pictures, and also meeting my 4 cats where they were and not pushing them if one of them was nervous. She even left me a sweet Christmas card and I had the best peace of mind being away knowing she was caring for them.”
“My cats are very shy but she took excellent care of them. One of my cats even came from underneath the bed, their hiding place, to eat a treat. She provided lots of pictures to reassure me that everything was fine while I was away. I would highly recommend her.”
“Alexandria is a phenomenal pet sitter! She watched our two cats while we were away and was highly communicative, trustworthy, and thoughtful. She sent us great updates and pictures of our cats. I would strongly recommend booking Alexandria to watch your pets!”
“Anne did an amazing job taking care of my cat, my fish tanks, and my plants. My cat was so happy to meet her and spend time with her! Thanks for everything and I hope you’ll get to hangout with Maya again!”
“I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Anissa! She took care of my two Great Danes, Staffordshire Terrier, and two cats for an entire week, checking on them three times a day. With five pets—and three big dogs—that’s a lot to take on, and she handled everything amazingly. From the very beginning, Anissa made me feel completely comfortable leaving my babies in her care. She sent me pictures at every single visit, and being able to see their happy faces and know they were being loved and well cared for gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She cleaned the litter boxes and backyard every day and even went above and beyond by vacuuming daily—which was definitely not something I expected her to do! Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pets AND a clean house was such a wonderful feeling. What meant the most to me was knowing that Anissa wasn’t just stopping by to check things off a list. I could tell she genuinely cared about my animals and treated them like they were her own. When you have five fur babies, finding someone you truly trust with them is priceless. I will absolutely be using Anissa again and, as long as she’s available, she will be the person I call whenever I need someone to care for my pets. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her. Thank you, Anissa, for taking such amazing care of my crew! ❤️🐾”
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for small dogs (under 40 lbs) for years—originally for friends and family, and more recently for clients through Rover. I also had the honor of caring for my own senior dog during the final stage of his life, an experience that deepened my understanding of the needs of aging pets and taught me the value of patience, empathy, and attentive care. I currently share my home with my energetic senior English Springer Spaniel/Blue Heeler mix—equal parts cuddlebug and goofball. Living with a disability has never limited my ability to provide a full, enriching life for her or for the dogs I care for. I’ve developed safe, effective strategies for training and daily care that prioritize the comfort and happiness of each pup. I offer in-home visits only, allowing your dog to stay in their familiar environment and routine—ideal for pets who thrive on stability. My flexible, open schedule means I’m available when you need me: weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m experienced with administering medications (including pills and eye drops) and love keeping dogs engaged with enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, sniff walks, and tug-of-war. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are always my top priorities! I currently don't work so I have a very flexible schedule to come to your home and feed, walk and play with your fur babies My open schedule will ensure that your dog gets properly exercised. I can do separate walks for multiple dog households. Crating can also be done.
About: Whether it's feeding, refreshing water cleaning litter boxes, playtime or simply offering close companionship, I pay attention to each pets needs. I treat all fur babies like they were my own. Per care fits naturally into my daily and weekly schedule. I have a flexible routine that allows to provide dependable drop-in visits, ensuring pets receive timely care, attention, and excersise. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and have built pretty care into my routine. My flexible schedule shows me to provide consistent drop-in visits and give each pet the attention they deserve.
“Kristin checked in on our cat while we were on vacation. Usually he hides when we are gone, but he came out and greeted her on a few occasions. Kristin's communication was excellent and she took good care of our cat. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“She is great and so welcoming that she is able to get my cat to greet her when she checks in on her. Would definitely recommend and will rebook with her each time I need someone to check in on my cat.”
“I recently had Valerie drop in to feed and clean litter for my 4 cats while I was out of town for a week. She again did an excellent job and sent pictures of the cats who cooperated by showing themselves. She responded quickly to one query I had. I'll definitely call on her again when going out of town.”
“She was amazing. She definitely gave us comfort while away that Dexter was taken care of. She always provided updates and pictures. She even played with him which is a huge thing because Dexter doesn’t like new people. Thank you very much.”
“Sarah is amazing! My cat loves hanging out with her and she takes really great care of her when I am out of town. She is reliable, very communicative and sends me lots of photos of my baby.”
“Ximena was a big help and an awesome first time using rover experience. She did an excellent job taking care of my 4 cats with daily drop ins. Truly cares about your little fur animals and gave some great updates/photos during the week.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Balcones Heights
This is my second time booking with Olivia and she has been nothing but phenomenal. She takes care of Dexter as if he was her own. He has definitely been labeled as a spicy cat and to have someone who is so patient and loving towards him while I’m away gives me peace of mind.
This was my first time booking with Rover, and really using a sitter in general and I am so glad I chose Ericka. She was able to book with me last minute, provided detailed updates and amazing pictures each visit. Coming back home from my trip, I could tell my fur babies were taken well care of. 10/10 would book again
Karen was great with Reese! She was very attentive and kind upon meeting her and after the visit to return my key. She did a great job with taking care of him, sending me pics and lots of updates. She made sure he was eating when he was picky and gave him extra treats. She even left me a small gift for me! Thank you for all the help and taking care of him!
Sonia went above and beyond in watching our pets. When presented with several unforeseen difficulties, including leaving the wrong key and my cat not eating, Sonia went out of her way to communicate and brainstorm with me to find the best solutions and care for my fur babies. Sonia even made an extra trip out to my apartment to ensure my pets got fed, went potty, felt loved, and had good playtime. Sonia did an amazing job with my girls and I would highly recommend her to others!
Jeremiah has been taking care of my baby girl (cat) for a few years now. I have full confidence in him. Even as she has grown older and needed to take medications, Jeremiah has adapted to her feeding schedule and made sure she gets her medicine. I am so grateful I found a sitter I can trust and rely on.
Brenda was an absolute professional when taking care of my pets. She was on time, caring and went above and beyond my expectations. We will 100% ask for her help in the future. She was wonderful. Thank you for taking care of our babies! It takes sooooo much pressure off of leaving them knowing someone so kind is caring for them.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
