“Claudia was great! She took great care of our cats and followed all our instructions. I was able to enjoy my trip as I knew they were in good hands. I will be rebooking her again for our next trip!”
“I had to leave town on short notice, and I'm so thankful Lindsey was able to squeeze us in! She came over for a quick meet and greet, and I could tell right away she was a calm person who would be great with my shy timid little girl... and she was! She sent photos and kept me updated on how she was doing... I'll DEFINITELY reach out to Lindsey again!”
“This was my first time leaving my cat alone with anyone other than myself, so I was extremely nervous but Shauna was amazing! Instantly made me feel comfortable and I loved the report card aspect Rover offers. I came back after a little under a week and Seraphine was as happy as can be. Will be rebooking for my next trip for sure 🩷”
“This was our first time hiring a sitter for drop-in pet minding, and Karen made it an incredibly comfortable and low-stress experience. Daily check-ins complete with pictures and a little report kept us smiling and looking forward to the next day, so we could see more cute pet pics. Karen even caught a problem with our pool that we were able to inform our landlord of so he could take care of it while we're out of country - she really just went above and beyond, and we're so grateful for her work 🥰 We'll be hiring her again in the future, and I promise you won't regret doing the same!”
“Hollie was amazing! So helpful to swing by and the dogs seemed to really love her! She checked in regularly and kept Ed me updated the whole time! I will definitely be using Hollie again!”
“Veronica is the best sitter. She understands how nervous we are to leave our elderly fur baby and she goes over and beyond to put us at comfort while away and sends pictures daily.”
“Ms. Rebecca did an amazing job caring for my shy little boy, Yong I. I had never been separated from him before, and he tends to be a very timid cat. What could have been a challenging situation for anyone, she handled with incredible patience and care! From the beginning of the booking to the end, her communication was excellent—prompt, clear, and understanding. I highly recommend Rebecca as a pet sitter. I’m already looking forward to our next visit on July 21st and will definitely continue to trust her with my fur baby. Thank you so much, Rebecca!”
“Ashley was good with our cats and dog, and was always easy to reach! Her communication was great and she sent pictures, too. I will definitely book Ashley again. Thank you, Ashley!”
“Sarah was so great with our dog on our first extended trip away from him. She followed every request to the T, and even gave more than expected. Will definitely be using Sarah again!”
“So thoughtful and thorough!”
“You’re wonderful! Thank you soooo much”
About: I have always been an animal lover but I really started getting into taking care of animals in high school. My first job was at Country Friends Vet Clinic. During that time I got my CVA 1 certification(certified veterinary assistant) and I ended up working for them until I graduated high school(an amazing 2 1/2 years!). During my high school years I adopted two cockatiels named Ollie and Speckles. They became my bestest little friends. It was then that I realized I loved taking care of pets. My senior year of high school I also ended up adopting a Leopard Gecko I named Hikari! She loves watching top gun😂. I then moved out to college and got my Bachelor’s Degree while working as an Operating Room technician at Texas A&M Small Animal Hospital. I also recently(Nov. 2024) earned my RECOVER Basic Life Support Certification. It was in college that I got my first pup, Atreides. She was my soul dog and I loved her to bits. Three years later I adopted my Belgian Malinos, Azula, to give her a friend. I also found out that I love training dogs and so I spend most of my free time seeing what crazy things I can teach my pups! After Atreides passed, I adopted another German Shepherd in honor of her, a puppy named Ashoka. She is my little shadow and always makes sure I’m taken care of. All of this is to say I have tons of experience with high energy pups and I don’t forget the small animals! I am a full time college student so during the school year I might have a little more limited of a schedule but if I’m free I’ll definitely be able to swing by to check on your fur babies! I will also have more time on weekends to care for your pets. I am a big fan of always having something stimulating for your pet to do! Whether that is playing with toys, doing enrichment toys, or training basic obedience I like to make sure I am doing something exciting with your pet! With all that play I always remember to provide water in this Texas heat. While taking care of your fur babies I will feed, walk, play and clean up after them so you don’t have to worry when you are away! I also love exotics!(I have two cockatiels and a leopard gecko)
“Alexandria paid close attention to all of my instructions and even closer to Prim’s care :) she was gracious enough to accept my booking with only 6 hours notice & coming from far away. Thank you so much!”
About: Aloha Y'all, Amanda here and I am wicked excited to meet your pet! I have always been an animal lover and love to meet new furry friends. If they are super active, I can take them on 1 to 3 mile runs or hiking. If they like to be a couch potato, I have a great big bean bag with their name on it. I can even teach them a few fun tricks while they stay with me to keep their minds active. I will work with your schedule and be attentive to your animal. I will follow your every instruction and send photo updates. I will care for your animal like they are my own with lots of love! Hope to meet you soon!
“We were nervous first-timers leaving our two pups, Nigel and George, in the care of someone new—but Lyric blew us away! From the very beginning, she was reassuring, communicative, and genuinely caring. Knowing she has dogs of her own gave us that extra peace of mind—she’s a true dog lover, and it shows. We felt confident she would treat our pups like her own, and she absolutely did. She kept us in the loop daily with updates and gave us a heads-up on any schedule changes. One moment that really showed her dedication: I forgot to leave her a key (oops!), and she kindly waited while I rushed home from work—no complaints, just understanding and kindness. Lyric made sure both of our dogs got the attention they needed—whether it was high-energy play for one or gentle bonding time for the other. One of our boys takes a while to warm up to people, but her patience and gentle nature won him over. Now, he lights up every week when she visits! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our dogs adore her, and we do too. Highly, highly recommend!”
“She was very good and was very nice to my pets!”
“Andrea was great with Jax. She checked in often and provided great feedback on her time with him and clarified everything to ensure his needs were met. I can tell he enjoyed his time with her and I will definitely be re-booking with Andrea in the future.”
“Raquel was sooo amazing! We went out of town and traveling day I forgot to give her full instructions 😬. she still showed up and FaceTimed me for further instructions on caring for our babies. She went above and beyond beyond with our dogs. Every visit she sent me videos and pictures of them. She truly made me feel so comfortable with her caring for them. She treated them as her own. She also let me know about the wasps nests every time she checked on them. She was amazing. Will definitely be rebooking. Oh she also gave us a woof reminder about dog food low. Which was so adorable and so sweet to let us know! Thank you Raquel, we will be booking with you soon! ❤️”
“Laila did a great job with my son Mello and communicated very well! I wasn’t worried at all during the three days she feed him, I told her she was on food duty and went the extra mile to sit and play/cuddle with him. Definitely recommend”

Amanda M.
“Amanda is an amazing pet sitter! She was friendly, reliable, and very flexible with her visiting schedule when it came to the care of my fur babies. I have two cats, one of which required a strict feeding schedule due to being overweight. While I was on an extended business trip, Amanda promptly came to the house three times a day to feed my chubby fur ball while making sure my other cat did not eat the “diet food”. She cleaned the litter boxes and kept my kitties entertained with play time. Amanda sent me photo and video updates of my cats each visit so that I knew they were being well cared for, too. I have referred her to my close friends for dog watching/walking and they have said she is just as great working with their dogs! I will definitely be asking her to pet sit again for me in the future!”

Juan was great! Very thoughtful and thorough, making sure to follow instructions carefully and send lots of updates on your fur babies!
Karen did a great job taking care of my cats! She included detailed reports and plenty of pictures. 10/10 will use again
Ashley has been a blessing for Bella & Bruno! Bella is a Gene German Shepherd with hind leg issues, Ashley has been very gentle with Bella and Bella has reacted very positive.
First time using Rover, and Andrea was spectacular. She accommodated my dog, cared for my dog and did exactly what I wanted. Very impressed with the drop-ins. Will use Andrea again.
Sherri is very attentive and caring towards your pets. She treats your home with respect and follows the pampering suggestions like any pup-parent would! If she pet-sits for you, you are a lucky fur-mom! A++ pet sitter and human!
She's the best. Eva did drop ins with my boy Kasper. I'm transitioning from remote work to in person full time and needed someone to drop in to check on my baby while I was working. Eva is very professional, very kind, reasonable, accommodating, and she goes above and beyond. She gave Kasper the type of attention and affection I do and he was always so happy in the photos she'd send me.
Grace is the absolute sweetest person. She is 100% reliable. She shows up when she says she is and walked my Kasper and gave him lovies while I was at work. Will be hiring her again for sure. If your pet is your child, the way Kasper is to me, Grace is your gal!
Cierra always takes good care of our Nebby. She is trustworthy and dependable. Nebby has severe allergies and Cierra always is mindful of giving her her medicine and caring for all her needs in our absence. We are grateful to have someone who Nebby loves caring for her in our absence.
Absolutely lovely and incredibly attentive to my big babies! Couldn't have asked for a better person to watch my boys =]
Kayla did a fantastic job w Flora. She was on time at every visit, sent photos, did proper check ins and kept me informed of Flora's status. I was very satisfied with the service she provided!
Victoria is doing a terrific job, very conscientious and a great communicator. We enjoy working with her. Highly recommend.

Our 2nd time booking with Robyn and she was as wonderful as she was the first time. It’s clear that she loves my dog as her own. She doesn’t just drop in, she loves on him and plays with him and sends me so many pictures that show how happy he is. She’s officially my go-to when I need a pet sitter for Huckleberry (as long as she’s available).
It was my first time using this app, I felt hesitant at first but, I had an AMAZING experience with Cecilia! She was incredibly responsive and kept me updated during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. Penny was comfortable with her from the very start, and I truly appreciated her urgency in making sure Penny feel safe and at ease. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again!
Anna is an amazing cat sitter and was incredibly accommodating for my three cats and me. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats’ needs were met, and all of us thoroughly enjoyed having her as our sitter. Even my extremely shy cat, who usually never warms up to people, bonded with Anna surprisingly quickly. That truly speaks to her kind and patient demeanor, which made a big difference and made me so happy! Anna also impressed me with her attentiveness. I have automatic feeders, and she quickly noticed when one was malfunctioning. Not only did she communicate the issue with me right away, but she also helped fix it! I returned home to three happy and relaxed cats and couldn’t be more grateful. Throughout my time away, Anna kept me updated with texts and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. She has earned the approval of all three of my cats (and me!) for being an exceptional sitter. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, patient, responsible, and genuinely cares about your pets’ well-being, Anna is the perfect choice. I cannot recommend her enough!
Laila went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of and was also a great communicator. Can't recommend her highly enough.
