“Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.”
“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”
“Melissa was amazing! Not only did my dog, Ellie, have a blast with her, but she was happy and healthy when I returned. she was also very great with her communication with me and left my house in great shape.”
“Mo was a wonderful sitter. Great energy, great communication, and the boys took to him immediately, which doesn't always happen. Took great care of the house as well. I'd feel very comfortable leaving my pups with Mo again. Will definitely rebook.”
“Jenna was once again great with our dog, despite the fact that he was difficult and grumpy. I truly appreciate her care for our buddy, but more than that, her professionalism in dealing with a difficult pet. Thanks so much for taking care of our boy!”
“Jeffrey did a great job with my dog. She was content when I got home & not overly clingy, which tells me she felt safe in his care & got plenty of attention. 10/10 would book again.”
“Jewel was an amazing caretaker for Bella. She was a clear communicator, showed great care for Bella, and left my home spotless at her departure. More importantly Bella loved her and was very happy to spend time with her.”
“Kate was wonderful! Our two crazy dogs loved her and she made them feel so comfortable. She was attentive, communicated extremely well, and took excellent care of our house and dogs. Thank you!”
“Clair was great! Was very attentive, sent pictures and notes about how my 2 kitties were doing and even read through my crazy long cat manual/notes. Will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Our experience with Ja was truly wonderful. She went above and beyond for our cat, Simba—spending quality time with him, feeding him right on schedule, keeping his litter box spotless, and giving him plenty of playtime. She was incredibly flexible with our expectations and made everything so easy for us. Her regular updates, photos, and videos gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we would absolutely book her again without hesitation.”
“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”
“Melondy was extremely communicative and thoughtful during her stay with Layla. She made sure she came over right on time, sent me regular updates on how Layla was doing and followed the pet care instructions to the letter. Additionally she was respectful of our space and left the house spotless! I would absolutely book again!”
“Keely was great. She was very responsive and helped me out a lot when I needed to find a house and dog sitter in just a few days before a trip. Would definitely use again.”
“So happy with Lauren and the care she gave to our pups! She sent lots of updates and pictures, and it was obvious that she was taking great care of them. It was so nice to be gone on vacation and not have to worry about our babies.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds and rodents since I was a teen. I have experience with dogs of all ages - from puppies to senior dogs. I have cared for several animals that needed daily medications. I currently work part time and from home. So I have lots of time to play with pups and check in on kitties in the Austin area Due to my small living space I cannot offer pet boarding in my home. However, I do offer daily drop ins, walks and overnights in the client’s home.
About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician student, I've gone through extensive dog training certification, I've fostered many litters of kittens and puppies as well as elderly and special needs dogs, I've managed play groups and scrubbed kennels at doggy daycares, I've llent my hand at local shelters and rescues... When it comes to dogs, I don't just dabble, I jump right in! My home has five full-time doggy housemates- Blitzen and her brother Cupid, son Donner, and their friends Oscar and Charlie- who are eager to show your pup around and teach them all the best spots to dig holes in the yard or bark at squirrels! And when it comes to your sitting or walking in your home and neighborhood, I have all the tools of the trade on my belt, including the best cookies, treats, and toys. My fear-free certification makes me the best friend to cats, who tend to be less excited about strangers. I have so much fostering experience with difficult cats and kittens, and I absolutely love the nervous cats (and dogs!). Caring for pets is my full-time job, my hobby, and my lifestyle. I am a relief veterinary nurse who only works at the pet hospital occasionally every month, and the rest of my time is spent at home training, playing with, and enriching the lives of my dogs, foster dogs- and yours. On Rover, I keep myself limited on the number of pets I care for weekly so I can ensure your pets stick to their schedule and have all their needs met above and beyond. Your dog will live like my dogs. They'll join me on daily walks exploring the local parks and neighborhoods, play tug and fetch in the backyard, snuggle on the couch with treats, enjoy dinner in a puzzle toy, and settle down at night in a clean, cozy dog bed. As for cats, I know that they don't care about my routine- just their own! I'm happy to bend to any kitties will and make sure they don't stress too much about mom and dad going out of town. If your doggie is still a puppy or a little wily, you and I can discuss and set up training sessions we can do together throughout their time in my home or when we're out on walks together.
Galindo pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ari is amazing - she watched our 9-month old puppy for a long weekend. She gave me daily updates and pictures, followed my lengthy care instructions and we came back to a spotless house. It was anxious leaving our puppy for the first time ever and she was so accommodating and gave me peace of mind. I already booked her for 2 other trips!!
Brittany stayed in our home and kept our senior beagle and senior lab over a long weekend. She sent several check in messages with photos & we even arrived to a tidy, clean home! Our beagle has some medical and behavioral issues that she was attentive to and asked about right away at the meet & greet. Highly recommend!
Priscila was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Reggie while staying at our house for a week and kept us updated with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home after our trip to a clean house and a very happy dog. Would absolutely recommend her and will gladly book with her again!
Katie was amazing! She took wonderful care of our dog and communicated with us throughout the entire stay. While we were out of town, she sent regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. She also stayed overnight in our home and was incredibly respectful of our space. We couldn’t have been happier with the experience and will absolutely book with her again in the future!
Exceptional Care & Professional Communication! Jeany is hands-down the best sitter we have ever worked with! We left our puppy, Henry, in her care for two weeks while we were traveling internationally with a significant time difference. Because we were so far away, communication was our top priority, and Jeany exceeded every expectation. She sent us photo updates every single day, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip knowing Henry was happy and safe. Not only did she stick perfectly to his routine, but she went above and beyond by working on his training—Henry actually learned how to ‘roll over’ and give ‘paw’ while we were gone! It is clear that Jeany has a genuine love for dogs and a very high level of professionalism. Coming home to a happy, well-behaved puppy was the best gift. We cannot recommend her highly enough and will definitely be booking her again!
Lauren is the best! My dogs loved her! She absolutely understands dogs (i have senior medical dog) and my concerns and worries and really alleviated those concerns by sending photos and checking in. She is great at communicating and very responsive. She is also accommodating. I will definitely be using Lauren again!
Lauren was an amazing dog sitter! She took care of my dog Tokyo for a couple of days and went above and beyond. She kept me consistently updated, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear Tokyo was happy and well cared for the entire time. I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.
We love Mary! She takes excellent care of our pets and home. We have two cats that tend to get into scuffles and she does a great job of entertaining them so they don’t take their energy out on each other. She takes our dog on multiple walks per day and gives him all the cuddles he wants. She’s punctual, trustworthy, and very kind. Highly recommend her for your pet care needs!
