“Second time Dolly has stayed with Carmen & Eevee & it was just as great as the first time. Carmen was excellent with sending picture updates & videos, Dolly seemed at home & happy with Carmen. Carmen communicated wonderfully & I cannot praise how much we love booking with her. Dolly definitely misses her & Eevee. Looking forward to booking with her again since I know my baby is in good hands with Carmen 🥰.”
“Amber was a great sitter for our fur baby Mona. Great communication and Amber sent lots of pictures where Mona was just having the time of her life. Mona was well taken care of and gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be booking with Amber again for future sitter needs.”
“Gloria was amazing with my dog! I can tell he had so much fun and I had a peace of mind knowing Gloria and her sweet family were watching my dog and playing with him, taking him on walks, making sure he had enough treats and play time. Really great experience communicating with her as well.”
“Gracie was great! I was very thankful that she was able to accommodate with such short notice. She sent me update pics which I loved. The dogs had a good time and were taken care of. I would definitely recommend her if you need someone to babysit your fur babies and would go back to her in the future!”
“Ivette was an absolute lifesaver! My dog, Penny, got sick upon arrival and had to go to the vet on the first morning of her stay. Ivette was extremely helpful during Penny's stay. She was very responsive and was able to get Penny to my vet quickly and provide updates. I can't recommend Ivette enough!”
“Amanda was great. Our baby seemed to have fun. So much she is pooped today. She sent lots of pictures and kept us informed even when she noticed an irritation in her ears.”
“Chad is a wonderful host to our 40lb catahoula, George. George and Pixel get along wonderfully. Nice space, good fenced in backyard. Chad goes above and beyond. His love for dogs truly shows.”
“He was an awesome sitter for our two dogs! He sent pictures while we were away and we felt confident that our dogs had a good time and were well taken care of.”
“Renada is a great caretaker. My experience has always been amazing and she really loves dogs. She has given her all to take amazing care of my dog and I could not be happier with her services.”
“Mina was absolutely amazing! She took care of my dog for three days and treated her like family. I could tell my pup was happy, well-fed, and loved while I was away. Mina sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She’s responsible, kind, and truly has a heart for animals. I’m beyond grateful for her help and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Mina!”
“Could not be happier with A&E looking after Pooka. Scheduling has been so easy with clear communication and prompt pick-up/drop off and it really takes a lot of stress off of Me because I work a lot of hours. They even send Me videos of Her playing with a wide selection of chews and squeakers and their dog Paisley is such a good sport, even when Pooka can be a bit of a bugaboo. 100% recommend.”
“Amrita was wonderful! I have a senior dog who wants to be around people always. Amrita made sure to always send updates regularly, be attentive to Gus and his needs, and was very responsive! Would definitely book her again in the future and was grateful knowing my dog was in good hands.”
“Jessica and Cam were phenomenal, their communication is great, with multiple updates/photos each day and it’s great to feel so comfortable and confident my pooch is getting so much attention and playtime”
“Zora took amazing care of our dog Kona. She provided lots of pictures, videos and updates and we knew he was in good hands. He got along well with her dog, Zara, too. Would definitely rebook!”
“Andrew was so good with Huck and I was kept in the loop during his entire stay. He is so attentive and really shows a true love for animals, especially the ones he is watching. Keeps them safe and you know they are comfortable, fed and happy. Will be booking with Andrew again!”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Sarah! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. Sarah was so welcoming, and her setup was perfect—my dog felt right at home and barely noticed I was gone! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares about your pet’s comfort and happiness. Highly recommend Sarah on for anyone looking for peace of mind while they’re away.”

Lindsey was absolutely amazing with our dog for the entire week! From the moment we dropped her off, I could tell she was in loving, caring hands. She kept us updated, treated her like part of her family, and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and spoiled the whole time. When we received multiple daily updated pics, she was relaxed, well cared for, and honestly looked like she didn’t want to leave! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was with someone so trustworthy, attentive, and genuine. I would recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets like they’re her own. We will definitely be using her again! 🐾💕
