“She was a great communicator every step of the way and our dogs loved hanging out with Lillian. We will definitely ask her to watch our pups again in the future ☺️🌟”
“We got so lucky finding Allie! I needed a last minute sitter and took to Rover to find one. Allie was so responsive and was able to set up a meet & greet that same day. Skye is usually anxious when meeting new people, but warmed up to Allie instantly - which is always a good sign for me. I was immediately put at ease and felt the trust established. Allie was on top of it and took such good care of Skye. It was so nice to receive such intentional Rover Cards with pictures of Skye every day. I would recommend Allie to anyone looking for a pet sitter in South Austin and will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Brand new client and I booked 1-2 days before I needed Antonio. So I had a lot of instructions for him and he handled it without any hiccups and took care of the pups in some ways I didn’t specifically note. Would def book Antonio again. Thank you!”
“Ive definitely had a bad experience with rover sitters before and almost deleted the app. Let me tell you, Christine turned it around for me, this is the second time using her and she’s amazing. Punctual, leaves details about her trip, and it puts my mind at ease. Plus my kitties love her!!! Could not recommend her enough!!”
“Laura is a dream. Booker and our family were so lucky to find her. She is friendly, funny and very communicative. I would trust her with my dog anytime! Thank you, Laura!”
“Lauren is the best!! She was so nice, and loved on our two kitties!!! She goes above and beyond to make sure the animals are happy, and makes animal parents feel at ease while being away! Highly recommend Lauren!!”
“Shannon was great with my two cats. She was attentive in our meet and greet and gave them lots of attention in her visits. It was apparent by how happy and excited they were when I opened the door on return, that they enjoyed her visits.”
“Julia was the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She was so communicative and spent extra time with my kitties. I have an elder cat and she did an amazing job administering her meds. Will definitely be hiring her again. 10/10 recommend for other cat parents!”
“Aryanna took such great care of our kitties! She leaves very detailed information about her visits, takes pictures and videos, and is punctual. 100% recommend!”
About: I’m Jacob, a full time nurse, looking for a side hustle to help pay off my student loans :) If you trust me with your pet(s) I will make them my top priority. I will shower them with attention, and take lots of pictures to update you with about our day. I work 3 days a week. I have plenty of free time during the week for your pet’s needs. It would be such a fulfilling past time for me to care for your animals. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other animals. There’s a good amount of space. Quick and easy walk to the trail around lady bird lake.
“Taylor did a great job making sure that Willie was taken care of while we were away for Christmas. She was very accommodating to our last minute booking and we are so grateful for her”
“Stephanie has been helping me with Callie for about 1.5 years and has been amazing. Callie is always well cared for and loves her walks. Callie also has some issues with other dogs which Stephanie has been amazing navigating and handling. I couldn’t recommend anyone more!!”
About: My entire childhood (and adulthood) I grew up with animals. Cats, dogs, turtles, ducks, geese, rabbits, you name it. I used to work at a doggy day care and in college I nannied for a big family with a few dogs. I personally have 2 cats myself. I love animals so much and truly wanted to start pet sitting because I just wanted to spend time with animals. I’m totally good with giving medicine, walks, park time, car time, whatever your baby needs. I’m here for it all! I’m in field sales so my schedule is super flexible! I make my own schedule so can fit in any time to see your babies! I drive all over town so can make anything work. I love to make sure your pet gets the care they need - so if that’s outside time for 20 minutes then we will do that. If it’s playing around for 20 minutes then we will do that or if they just want pets, of course we can do that. I currently live in an apartment so all visits would have to be in your home.

We can’t recommend Nicole enough! She took EXCELLENT care of our 4 kitties. Besides the daily photos and insight into how the visit went, she also made sure to give them supervised outdoor time (per our request) and so much love. It’s obvious how much she loves the animals in her care, as though they’re her own. She alerted us to an AC outage in our place and set up fans to help with the heat until it could be fixed. Truly above and beyond what we expected and we will 10000000% be booking her in the future!
