“Valerie was absolutely fantastic! We needed a last-minute booking and she really came through for us. She did a few drop-in visits, was always punctual, and sent us pictures of the pups so we could see how they were doing. On her way out, she even picked up a package for us which was helpful not having them out on the porch. She even left a little goodie bag for the dogs which we thought was a very thoughtful touch. We highly recommend her and would happily book her again!”
“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.”
“Amarantha was AMAZING. I had anxieties about leaving my Leo over a long weekend since he's my little baby. She was very punctual and would communicate with me if she was running late. She even came in a second time since she would be late to the scheduled time to feed Leo. The pictures sent to me were awesome, and Leo seemed very well taken care of when we came back!”
“Page took great care of my dog, Willow! This was Willow’s first Rover experience and I can tell she was very well taken care of which puts my mind at ease. I will definitely be booking with Page again in the future!”
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.
“I had a fantastic experience with Dafne! They were incredibly reliable, sending daily updates and photos of my furry friend. The attention to detail, from feeding to playtime, was exceptional. My cat seemed content and happy upon my return, and I'm grateful for the peace of mind they provided. I highly recommend their services to any cat owner seeking a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Danielle did an amazing job. She was very reliable and communicated with me throughout the whole stay. She came in and helped out when we needed a sitter last minute with no complaint. I highly recommend her as your sitter.”
“Olivia is AMAZING. Both my kids love her and I think she’s taken the cutest photos of them I’ve ever seen. I’m just so grateful for the easy communication and thoughtfulness Olivia puts into her care routine.”
“Laura is fantastic! My shy cats loved her immediately, cats and house were in great shape when I came home. Great communication, took wonderful photos too! Highly recommend”
“Rachel was great! She did a little meet and greet with my cats before the scheduled visit, and kept me updated with messages and picture updates of my babies. She was friendly, chill, and good with my pets- even with my feisty cat who is a tough customer! Definitely will be booking her again in the future, and highly recommend using her for drop ins or longer stays. Thank you!!”
About: I'm a local Austinite who grew up always having a dog in the house and currently have three dogs who spend their days hiking through the greenbelt and exploring the great outdoors. I've had extensive experience dogsitting with dogs of all shapes and sizes and have no problem with multiple, long walks each day to make sure the dog is getting the appropriate amount of exercise. I have also volunteered many hours for Austin Pets Alive and fully support their mission to help the struggling animals in our city. Whether you have a big dog who needs to be tuckered out while you're away at work or a little pup who just needs to be let out and given some quality attention, I'd be happy to help!
“This was my first time using Rover and I made the perfect choice by having Zion watch my cat!! She was consistent with the check in times and kept me updated the whole time! I came home to a very happy cat and I look forward to using Zion again in the future!”
“Reuben was amazing! He was extremely responsive, punctual and took great care of our dogs. We have a very active and needy blue heeler. He is very hesitant of new people so Reuben came by and met the dogs prior to his stay so he wasn't a stranger, and they seemed to warm up to him quickly and he took great care of them. We will be using Reuben for all of our future dog sitting needs whether its a drop in or house sitting. I was very impressed with the quick replies, updates, and how punctual he was. It was easy to schedule with him and trust him throughout the entire process. He exercised the dogs and played with them while also keeping the house clean and tidy. Highly recommend!”
“Super grateful for Renna’s help during NYE. She is thorough with her communication and even when we had a little mishap with entry access she was super patient and made sure that our kitty was taken care of. Thank you again for your help !”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Colton
Sierra is amazing and very calm and gentle with my shy cat. My dog Flynn also thinks she's pretty amazing! Sierra is comfortable administering my cat's diabetic insulin shots and is very good at asking questions about things that we didn't go over. I really appreciate her caring so much for my pets when I can't be there for them.
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!
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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
