“Christine is the best! We were gone for 6 days, and she handled all of our dogs quirky and lovable obsessions. Also we had an unusual home and yard issue which she helped us with. House was just like we left it but, “a much happier place when we returned. A lot of dog loving going on. Jinx , our 16 yr old border collie told us she will miss her until the next time.”
“Victoria took amazing care of our boys and our house was quite tidy coming home from a long weekend. She shared updates each day with amazing photos! Will 100% be rebooking.”
“Rachel did a great job overall. We had a lot of detailed pet instructions for our 3 pets and everything went smoothly. There was a change to one of the pets feeding procedures due to pet behavior and Rachel stayed in touch with us and we amended the plan together. We appreciated Rachel's easy going approach to our animals adjusting to a stranger vs. us caring for them. All were happy and relaxed when we returned. She did an excellent job.”
“Absolutely AMAZING. I rarely trust anyone, ever. I never leave my fur babies with anyone I do not know and I feel like I have known Elizabeth my whole life. She is just THAT amazing!! She provided us with updates and lots of pictures which we sincerely appreciate since we have never left our fur babies for the holidays! 13 out of 10 would recommend and we cannot wait to use her again very soon! I mean, come on, she is the best of the best and if this review doesn’t get you wanting Elizabeth to watch your fur babies then what’s wrong with you!? We absolutely love her and so do Brady and Apollo! ???”
“Cortney was the definition of phenomenal while house sitting our Liza! She went above and beyond to ensure our pup was cared for and our home was safe during the winter freeze. 10 out of 10, absolutely recommend!”
“Amanda is a wonderful pet sitter. She stayed and took great care of our senior dogs including our oldest who has high needs (deaf, arthritic). Amanda communicated daily and included a picture of our doggies.”
“August was amazing! My 17yr old diabetic cat is on several medications and August was on top of it. So knowledgeable about cat medications and behaviors. She sent several text and photo updates. It was so clear she gave my little baby a ton of love and care. Plus she took great care of my house. Very trustworthy, reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking again!”

About: Hi I'm Hartley! I have loved and tended to pets and wildlife since I was a child. The Hawaiian word 'kāhu' resonates with me--because I have a deep, spiritual connection and sense of responsibility for our precious animals. I cherish our pups, Lady (6yo, Border Collie) and Mickey (9yo, Maltese). I'm very patient and understand the importance of structure and routine in pets' daily lives. I'm not a certified dog trainer, but I'm practiced in basic training for dogs of all ages. I use a reward-based approach for almost everything: practicing basic commands, utilizing proper leash technique, and socializing dogs with other pets, new people, and children. I’m also experienced with caring for cats, bunnies, rodents, fish, birds, and turtles. I am a freelancer with a flexible schedule, and I get to spend most of my time working from home or remotely. It would be an honor and a joy to be a kāhu for your beloved pet! I'm a freelance creative working remotely, from home, and often at weekend events. Monday-Friday | open. Saturday-Sunday | often busy, but sometimes not. Monday-Sunday | available for house sitting. HOUSE SITTING: I cherish my pups, and our home is our sanctuary. I will take care of your little ones and your home with the same care that I give my own! I enjoy tending to pets, watering plants, and keeping homes spotless. I’ll take the time to learn your specific needs because I want to make sure you’ve got peace of mind that your home is in loving, experienced hands. DAYCARE: My home is in beautiful Oak Hill, where walking the dogs is safe and easy. I have a grassy backyard with a covered deck, and plenty of space for the dogs to explore. The interior of the house has a small, simple layout with an open play/training zone in the living room. I have crates ready for private denning. I frequently take my dogs to South Austin parks: Longview Park/Stephenson Preserve, Onion Creek Dog Park, Circle C Ranch Metro Park, Mary Moore Searight Offleash Area, and Sunset Valley Nature Area.
“We recently had Kate look after our dog, Lia, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! We had a last-minute change in plans when our original Rover sitter had to cancel just days before our trip, and Kate stepped in seamlessly. She and Lia got along wonderfully, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands. From the start, Kate was incredibly responsive and made sure to communicate clearly every step of the way. We especially appreciated how thorough she was in asking questions and making sure everything was set for Lia’s care. Highly recommend Kate if you’re looking for a reliable and communicative pet sitter!”
“Jana was amazing! She really made me and my husband comfortable leaving our babies for our first week-long trip in years. She was very diligent with our instructions and handled all of the little nuances with our special needs pup. We received lots of photos and excellent communication the whole time, we could tell that the pups were happy and relaxed with her. Can't say enough good things about Jana!”
About: I grew up with a German Shepherd that we got when I was 7. When I was older, we got a cat and a golden labradoodle. Before I moved, I would pet sit for some of the people around my neighborhood during the holidays or school breaks. When I moved here for college, I moved into a place that has a pitbull and a chihuahua so I have experience with several different kinds of dogs as well as cats. I work part time in the morning/afternoon but I am able to stay overnight, offer drop in visits, etc. I am able to drop in visits/walks super early morning, in the afternoon and nighttime. I will always double check the list or requirements that the pet parents will leave me so that I can follow them exactly. I ask questions when I need to. I also do not let the dogs go outside by themself. I always go outside with them so that they have supervision. If pet parents want them to be in a crate or in a specific part of the house, that’s where I will put them before I leave.

Barton Creek pet parents share their Rover experiences
Omg, Whitney is the best!!! She took such good care of my pups, including a senior who has some medical things. Whitney took great care of them both and sent so many photos. She stayed at our house and took wonderful care of it. Most importantly, she loved on our girls and they adored her. I am a very anxious dog mama and I felt so at ease and comfortable with her staying in our home. She is so kind and a very thoughtful sitter. I know our girls can’t wait for Camp Whitney again!!!! 🩷
We we're consistently impressed with the level of care, communication, and reliability throughout the month of August. Updates were always timely, thoughtful, and detailed—giving us real peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that a genuine effort is made to go the extra mile, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. The consistency, attentiveness, and care have made this experience truly exceptional. Thank you again for everything
