About: I have experience and want to take care of dog after sitting my friend’s one for months. My boyfriend recently get a cat in Texas, I also take care of the cat when I’m in Texas. Since I travel around, I couldn’t have my own, I want to use this platform to hangout with more lovely ones. I am currently work at home, so I have a lot of time hanging out and watching for your pups! Your pup is going to have a great experience here! My community is dog friendly and large walking area to hangout with your pups! Since I wfh, I will make sure your pup is at home safely!
“Jillian did an amazing job with my dog Oliver. He's can get a little over excited, jumping and barking, but she did so great with him and eased all of my anxieties! My dog loved her, and I will be booking again.”
“Sierra is the best! She is super communicative, responsible, flexible, and caring; you can tell she just really loves the animals she cares for! She followed all our instructions perfectly and our Stanley cat couldn’t be happier. We will most definitely have Sierra watch our cat again. Thank you Sierra!! :)”
“We had a wonderful experience with Amarantha, our communication was excellent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pups were in good hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Hannah was great! Needed a sitter last minute due to issues with previous and she was quick to respond and take over. Very timely and diligent. Kitties loved her and would 1000% book her again.”
About: I've had dogs in the house since I was 6, and today I share mine with Bucky, my bff rescue shepherd — self-trained from day one, with a rock-solid heel and off-leash recall to show for it. I offer dog walking, house-sitting, and check-in visits, and I'm happy to fold in whatever training habits you already have in place — reinforcing heel, working on walking etiquette, or just making sure your pup gets a solid outing (Onion Creek trails included, if that fits). If it's a good match, I'm also open to having your dog stay with me directly. I frequently look after friends' dogs myself, so this isn't new territory — just something I genuinely enjoy. My approach is all about consistency, confidence, and empathy; every dog's different, and a good relationship starts with meeting them on their terms. I work freelance from home, so I'm around, flexible, and rarely without my treat pouch. Would love to help with your dogs in any way I can. I work from home part-time, so my schedule is flexible and I’m home for most of the day — no long stretches where a dog would be left alone. I’m consistent with morning and evening walks, and add a midday walk when weather allows. Throughout the day, dogs get playtime and treats woven into the routine, not just tacked on at the end. I also have a car with a dog-proofed backseat, which makes vet runs, park trips, or pickups/drop-offs easy and low-stress. Every visit is built around the pet’s normal routine — feeding, walks, and playtime stay consistent with what they’re used to. I keep a close eye for safety indoors and out, secure gates/doors, and make sure water and food are always accessible. For transport, my car has a dog-proofed backseat. I check in regularly and adjust based on each pet’s comfort level and needs.
About: I love all animals. I am taking dogs or cats to stay overnight. I work from home and live in a house with a small fenced yard. I have a small cat that has grown up with a dog and a small puppy. I live in a nice neighborhood for dog walks and I do need the exercise myself. Just bring the toys and the crate, and the food and your dog will have a great stay with me! I can also take cats in if I have no other dogs. There might be 1 or 2 animals at a time in my house. Ask me any questions! I look forward to meeting your pet. I work full time at home from 8 am to 5 pm. I work Monday through Friday. I do not work on the weekends. Thanks! I have a fenced in yard. I do prefer that the dog stays in a crate overnight he can accommodate other arrangements on a case by case basis. I am currently working full time from home. I wake up around 7 am and go to bed between 11 and 12. I can take the dog out during lunch. I have a fenced in yard but do not leave animals alone outside. My house is pretty safe. I keep the animals in sight at all time but usually let cats roam friendly. Dogs stay downstairs.
“Roxanne was wonderful on a moments notice! Our family was able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pup being left alone all day! I will have her watch our pup every time we are in California.”
“Katie was amazing with my cat while I was on vacation! My cat absolutely loved her, and I felt so comfortable knowing she was being well taken care of. Katie visited twice a day, made sure she had fresh food and water, cleaned her litter box, played with her, and gave her plenty of attention and love. She also sent me updated photos every day, which I really appreciated and helped give me peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely hire Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Haley was amazing and prompt with her check ins. My girl is very shy and Haley was able to care for her with ease. Thank you so much for keeping her company while I was away! One less thing I needed to be worried about.”
About: Hi! I’m Kensy a reliable and caring pet sitter based in South Austin. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, I treat every pet like family whether they need a long walk, cozy snuggles, or just someone to keep them company while you're away. I’ve worked closely with families (as a nanny and sitter), and I bring that same nurturing, dependable energy to caring for animals. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry loved one. 🐾 Services I Offer: Dog Walking Drop-In Visits (feeding, playtime, potty breaks) House Sitting (limited availability) Medication Administration (if needed) I’m available mornings, afternoons, and weekends and I’m always happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs and routines. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away! Based in South Austin, I offer part-time availability in the mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I’m dependable, communicative, and always happy to send photos and updates to keep you in the loop while you’re away. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs around the house , but with my 2 year old shih tzu is the one who is going to be around the house the most . I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces for rest, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I stick closely to their usual routines (feeding, walks, medication, etc.) to minimize stress and help them adjust smoothly. I never leave pets unattended for long periods and always ensure they’re in a secure, supervised space. I also send regular photo and video updates so pet parents know their furry friend is happy and in good hands.
About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life, both big & small. They're like family to me, which is why mine thinks she's a lap dog at 80lbs! Plenty of love to give your pup! There's also a good size dog park for them to play! If you're pup is the lazy type, we can do that too.....Netflix it is. Your pup will be given tons of love from me & you'll be given tons of updates (if you want). My pup takes medicine daily, so giving medication is not a problem for me either. You won't be disappointed, neither will your pup, if you let him or her spend time with Riley & me. Good luck on your search. Hope to hear from you soon!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Colton
Dafne is amazing! She always goes above and beyond and I have continued to go to her for my dog boarding/watching needs. She’s great to work with and is extremely flexible with drop offs/pick ups etc. My pup loves Dafne and he’s always happy and excited to hang out with her. I couldn’t recommend a dog sitter any more than Dafne, and she will continue to be my go-to.
Amber was recommended to us by friends and we are very glad for that! Amber was able to accommodate a last minute booking and took great care of our 3 cats. They seemed very relaxed when we returned. She even cleaned out the litter even though I had said she didn’t need to worry about it! It was a nice surprise. Thank you, Amber!
Chelsea did a wonderful job taking care of our girls while we were away! She was caring and attentive, and knowing they were in such good hands made being away so much easier and less stressful. It gave us peace of mind knowing Chelsea was there looking after them. We truly appreciate all the love and care she gave our girls and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter!
Sierra was absolutely amazing with my kitty Tutu! I was really stressed and nervous about leaving since this was the longest I’d ever been away, and my cat was also on new medications and needing to be nebulized at the time. Sierra was incredibly detail-oriented, thoughtful, and spent so much time with Tutu, making sure she got the best possible care. She kept me updated on everything throughout the trip and made me feel like she was carrying for Tutu as if it were her own. I came home to a happy and well cared for kitty and an apartment in perfect condition! I’d 100% book Sierra again and can’t recommend her enough!!!
Our dogs love Michelle! She's a very reliable person, kind, and very focused on the pets. Michelle always takes time to sit on the grass with them during playtime, keeps everything tidy (including the feeding trays), and makes sure our pups feel safe and happy while we're away. Highly recommend, we book her whenever we need a sitter! 🤍🐾🤍
Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The visits were consistent, we received helpful updates and photos, and our two dogs 🐑🐑were clearly well taken care of. It made being away much less stressful knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely recommend and book again.🫶

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
