“Caroline is such an awesome top notch pet sitter. I’m so glad we found her! I was looking for someone not too far away from us to make it easier on everyone and she responded right away and with short notice, like one day because I’m a procrastinator. She was great and sent several photos and notes about every check in. Always in communication. My 9 year old daughter left homework for our dog and kitten and some of her stuffies wanting to play teacher and Caroline entertained her make believe school and made sure everyone “did their homework” and left a sweet note from the substitute teacher on how the students did. It was very kind. We’re so grateful and felt comfortable leaving our new young kitten and barky chihuahua at home. She is familiar with chihuahuas so knew just how to handle him and he felt more comfortable the more she came. It was a relief for me. Both our pets are rescues. Caroline is a real professional, has a great sense about animals and great with both dogs and cats. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry knowing our pets were in good hands. Thank you, Caroline!”

“Great service from Renada. I was hesitant to leave my doggies with a stranger but after we did the meet and greet I felt so at ease. Renada was patient and nice to my dogs, very appreciative of that. She said some suggestions such as getting a radio to help my dogs not feel so lonely, and I can say that helped. If she had any questions/concerns she would keep me in the loop. Updates on the roover card were great, with details and pictures of the visit. She was on time to take out my dogs and if I had any questions she would be available”

Katie C.

“Rheanne went above and beyond to make sure my two cats were happy and comfortable while I was away! She did so much, it’s impossible to cover it all in this review. Highly recommended, thank you Rheanne!”

“Jenna was great with our cats! She had great communication, and the boys seemed like they were in great spirits when we got home! They were very well taken care of by Jenna, and we will definitely keep her in mind for any sitting needs in the future!”

“Merritt was absolutely wonderful with Avon! From our very first interaction, her professionalism shone through. She clearly loves animals and took exceptional care of our furry friend. We came home to a happy cat, and it was clear Merritt had a special touch because Avon, who is usually quite anxious, was completely at ease with her. It's truly impressive how quickly she built that trust. We're already planning to book Merritt again in just a few weeks. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my sister’s medium sized dog on and off for 4 years, since he was a puppy until now. I’ve also taken care of other pets for friends during college (cats, small dogs). I’m currently on a hybrid schedule meaning I go into the office Tuesday-Thursday from 11am-3:30pm. Apart from those hours, I am completely free to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge dog park 2 minutes walking away from my apartment, as well as a smaller fenced dog park with a nice yard just downstairs.

“Riannon is a thoughtful and caring sitter. She took the time to get to know my kitty Sofi and provided detailed updates while I was away. My shy Sofi liked her right away! Can’t wait to book Riannon again!”

About: I have always had a deep love and empathy for all four legged furry friends. Not only have I had my own dog for eight years that I have raised since a puppy who I love with all my heart I have also over the years dogs sat for other friends and family members, whether that be in their own homes or having them stay in my home with my dog, Taylor. Furthermore I also have experience babysitting from a very young age. I have dealt with both infants, toddlers, and teenagers. There is sincerely nothing. I cannot handle when it comes to taking care of and the day-to-day responsibilities of being accountable for another life. I am currently working full-time, but I have a very flexible work schedule with three days off a week and 1 hour breaks where I would be able to take time to devote to dog sitting and care. My weekly routine already consist of walking trails in Austin so I would be more than capable to dog walk, especially early in the mornings due to the fact that I am an early bird. In my own home, for example I take care of my dog Taylor in any pets that I dog sit for by taking them for two walks a day keeping my thermostat no higher than 75 for their comfort. There is a park that is a five minute walk away from my house so I am always able to get, my dog outside for his daily activities. Also, there is a balcony at my apartment so I am also able to let the dogs out to be able to get fresh air and people watch.

About: I grew up having dogs my entire childhood and have such a love for animals, wanting to care for them. I have experience in providing daily pet check-ins, dog sitting, multiple walks daily (short and long-distance), and staying at pet owners' residence overnight for house sitting. I am enthusiastic and love to do fun activities whether outdoors or indoors. I have great time-management skills and being able to stick to any specific schedule pet owners might have for their pets. Some breeds I have cared for are Dachshunds, Shiba Inu, Miniature Schnauzers, Labradoodles, and Belgian Malinois'. I am also able to care for puppies. I am also able to care for larger breeds at special requests. Your pet will be in great hands, whether I am caring for them for a short or a long-term period of time. Thank you for considering me, I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)!

About: Hi! My name is Kelsey and I recently moved to the Austin area. While I’m unable to have a pet of my own, I’d love to take care of yours! I’ve grown up with at least one dog in the house for over twenty years of my life, and I’m often the first person my friends call when they need someone to look after their dog. I even have experience looking after pit bulls and large breeds! I’d love to take your pet on long walks, coffee runs, or just chill around that house if that’s their need. I can’t wait to make some new furry friends! I currently work 8am-5pm Monday - Friday in North Austin. However, I am available for evening walks and weekend care! I can house sit on weekdays, as long as your pup is okay going 8+ hours without a potty break. I am unable to take dogs in my own home, but I promise to be respectful of your space! I am more than happy to provide transportation in my own car (SUV) if needed.

About: I have cared for animals my entire life. My family has adopted and fostered multiple critters from single dogs recovering from surgery to a mama cat and her litter to a bearded dragon from a high school science class. I am the marketing coordinator at a local gym here in North Austin just looking to make some extra money on the side. I love animals and love to help out where owners need it. I enjoy cuddles and being active with pets. Throwing the ball around outback or teasing them with a feather stick. I am also great about any food prep needed or medication, etc.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including seniors and puppies. I understand the importance of routine, gentle handling, and making pets feel loved and secure when you're away. Whether it's a high-energy pup or a mellow senior, I adjust my care to meet their needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my summer routine since I’m currently a teacher on break. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they need throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or feeding, I can easily work around your pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe by sticking to their usual routines. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, or administering medication. I keep their space clean, provide lots of play and affection, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind while they're away.

“Kallye couldn’t have been any better! She was extremely prompt and consistent on her arrival times, replied to messages quickly, was professional and kind, and most importantly, I can tell my doggie was comfortable and happy to be around her. This was my first experience with Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased with the services Kallye provided. 10/10 recommend booking with her for all your pet sitting needs!”
