“Arthur & Tamara were amazing sitters! I received daily photos of my girls. Their dog, Daisy, is so sweet and friendly. They truly brought me peace during my trip knowing my girls were cared for.”
“Gail’s home is ideal for a home away from home. There is a big backyard and a doggy door that allows for in and out access. Gail treated my dog like hers, she is very accommodating, detail oriented, organized, flexible, and kind. I would highly recommend.”
“Patches is by far the best dog-sitter we’ve ever had. She obviously loves animals but she also took the time to reassure us by sending updates and pictures without us even asking. Drop-off and pick-up was a breeze. But, best of all, we could tell our pup was really happy, which made it so much easier to have to be away from him. Thank you, Patches! We’ll be using you again!”
“Anna was the perfect person to watch my pup while I was gone. She gave me thoughtful feedback and photo updates throughout the week. I could tell in photos and when I picked up my dog, Luna m, that she had a great experience!”
“Elijah is totally on top of it- starting with a meet and greet, so I felt completely comfortable leaving Harry with him. Harry loves Zee Zee and was so happy to see her when I dropped him off. I know he was well taken care of, and he was a very happy boy when we picked him up! We’ll definitely check with Elijah anytime we need someone for Harry.”
“The best Rovers in Austin. They always go above and beyond with their care, and I have absolute trust in letting them watch our pup. I will always choose Cassandra and Jason first, if they are available!”

“Fantastic caretaker for Suki! Sent us consistent updates and made sure to play with her a lot. Easily the most comfortable she has seemed in anyones place that we have chosen through Rover. Also bonus points for being Persian! ❤️”

About: My husband Preston grew up a dog lover with his two yellow labs, and I am a new dog lover after we got our lovely boy Jet a couple of years ago. We are responsible and would love to take care of your fur baby like it’s our own! Preston grew up dog sitting for friends and family where as I have cared for many a friends dogs throughout the years! I am full time work from home with a flexible schedule. We typically bring our dog out i around 10 am and 6pm for about an hour each as well as 20 minutes around 2 and 10 pm but are available for more frequent walks as needed in addition to a backyard, balconies and toys and splash pad! We have 1 dog (2 year old ~60lb boy named Jet). We live near a park and him twice a day for long walks and frequent the greenbelt. We also have a nice backyard for the dogs to enjoy some fresh air! We have a two floor house if your dog needs to be crated or separated for meal/bed times happy to do that as well!

“We had an amazing experience getting a last minute booking with Lily. She quickly arranged for a meet and greet for Goose and sent pics during his entire stay. Looking forward to booking her again asap!”
“I’m so incredibly grateful for Lauren. She’s perfect as always! She takes great care of my dog and always sends the cutest photos. I never have to worry when I’m away on vacation knowing my pup is with her. Thank you again, Lauren!”
“Ashley was amazing with my dog! He had such a great time staying with her and absolutely loved hanging out with her dog — who’s super friendly and got along with mine right away. She also sent me a bunch of photo updates, which I really appreciated — it was so nice to see Blue happy and relaxed while I was away. Thank you!!”
“So awesome! My first time doing an overnight Rover and Jeff sent plenty of pics to keep me updated on Maverick. Mav came back happy and exhausted from all the play:)”

Dawson dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nathalya was amazing! She watched our 6 month old puppy that had recently injured her leg - she followed all of the care instructions provided by our vet and made sure that our puppy was comfortable and happy. She was very communicative and we will hopefully utilize her in the future!
Audrey is THE BEST. Not only did she make sure that Barnaby had a safe place to stay and lots of outside fun time, but she was training him!!! So happy we found her, absolute professional, kept us informed and Barnaby has such a great time. Will be booking again when we go out of town and bringing Barnaby to the doggie day care a few times a month to keep up that pack mentality.
I’ve booked with Rachel and Justin multiple times and they are fantastic! They treat my dog like family and always keep me updated with texts and pictures throughout the day. My dog is always excited when we pull up to their house, which gives me total peace of mind knowing she’s in such great hands. Highly recommend!
Sarah was amazing with Louie! He was spoiled rotten and had the best time, will definitely be returning to her if we ever need a babysitter again. Thank you Sarah for your fantastic work! I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free knowing that my fur baby was with you. :)
There are not enough ways to express my gratitude for Tally and 🐶 Murphy! She opened her heart and her home for two weeks watching Pogi. Tally was so easy going, matching the energy and temperament of my golden retriever puppy. I got plenty of photos of updates showing Pogi having a blast at the dog park, on walks, cuddling on the bed with his new doggie BFF, and even eating fancy shaved ice! Knowing Pogi was having as much as I was on vacation assured me Tally was the right dog sitter. Thank you so much Tally!
