“Sarah was punctual, communicative, and so sweet with my dog. I appreciated her short turnaround response and hope to use her again soon for my frequent work trips. Highly recommended! Thank you!”
“Brianna was comminicative and thoughtful in her care of my senior dog. He was happy and well cared for when I returned and we will definitely consider booking with Brianna again.”
“Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.”
“Leah is the first person to watch our pets (out of many) with whom I felt completely comfortable and didn’t worry about my pets constantly. She was communicative and made it clear that she takes care of our pets like she would her own!”
“We recently had Samuel look after our dog in our home while we traveled for a few days. He offered a meet and greet and explained very thoroughly how he’d care for our dog. He listened and asked questions about our dog’s routine to make sure he provides the best care. While we were traveling, we received daily text messages with pictures and updates of our dog. We had a great experience working with Sam, Thank You for taking such amazing care of our dog and home. Mini really enjoyed your company! We will be in contact again!”

Thank you always for helping watch our 3 saints- they adore you and they fam!”

“Lexus was absolutely the best in nurturing and taking care of my 16 year old chihuahua!

She is AMAZING, lovely and patient, she keeps you updated all day with pictures, videos and texts, I’m a worried and nervous dog mom haha and the updates definitely made me feel better and calm. She loves what she does, that’s for sure. Our apartment and Luka, where in good hands, she’s really respectful with your place. She cares about every single and small thing, we have TONS of good things to say about Dora, run, don’t walk to reserve with her! Thanks for everything Dora, our family loves you!

Balcones Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had an unexpected situation come up right as we were leaving for Puerto Rico, and our original sitter canceled last minute. Thankfully, this amazing couple stepped in on very short notice and completely saved the trip for us. From day one, they were incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring. They made sure our dog was comfortable, stuck to his routine, and handled his medication perfectly. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while being away. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they look after, and that meant everything to us. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive sitters—we’ll definitely be booking with them again!
Sonia recently watched my 4 dogs and 3 cats for five days and did an excellent job. I know my household is a bit crazy but Sonia handled everything as I would have. This included providing medications to my senior dog and following some quirky feeding instructions because my dogs can be weird. She also messaged with questions when she had them. I appreciated that. I would definitely rebook with Sonia.
Another stellar visit with Rebeccahlynn! She is so wonderful with our 14 year old Shih Tzu Barkley - this is her second time staying at our house while we were on holiday. She is incredibly responsive, kind and attentive. We received tons of photos and updates while away, which gave us a great peace of mind. I’m reluctant to give her such a stellar review as she may become too popular for future bookings. But she is really amazing with our precious little man.
Jessica is awesome! We have had her before and will continue as long as she is willing! She goes above and beyond caring not only for Winnie but also our house. I'm not sure if Winnie likes Jessica even better than us. We feel at-ease and comfortable when we are away. Thank you, Jessica!
Sonya was SUPER sweet and attentive to my pups, I get super bad anxiety leaving my babies due to past experiences but with Sonya I didnt worry at all! My dogs are a pain and try and get away with everything so I'm very glad she knew exactly how to read my dogs!
Ashley was super understanding and thoughtful. She knows her way around cats and I was very grateful to have someone who kept them company. I also have a newly senior cat and she was able to handle her supplements and her asthma. Thank you so much again Ashley!
Jianna was an amazing sitter for our babies!! Our pups immediately felt comfortable with her, she communicated and made sure to give me regular updates with lots of photos and was overall a great person! So happy we found her to watch our babies while we are away!
Christine responded quickly to my request, and met up with me and my dogs to better acquaint herself with them. Christine was caring and professional while caring for my dogs, and maintained communication with me. She has a sunny disposition, and my dogs felt comfortable and reassured by her presence. Christine is highly recommended!
Taewon was phenomenal with my two pups. Especially since my doodle ended up getting ill and required a very stringent medication plan. I was already a nervous wreck having to be gone for so long and he put my worries right at ease. He deserves pup taker of the year award!!! He communicated every day, asking if there were other things to try/consider, and genuinely treated my fur babies as though he was the their owner and they loved him as I could tell in their daily pictures. He was very respectful of my home and left everything immaculate! 10/10 recommend especially if your pets are seniors, require a little more care, or have medication needs.
