“It was great to have Paula stay with my 2 kitty cats! Paula was responsible, responsive and just a really nice person. Kept me informed, sent me photos every day, and left the house clean and the cats chill and happy! Highly recommend Paula!”
“Chance was great! He took care of our pup and was very respectful of our home. 10 out of 10 would recommend. He went above and beyond to understand my dogs needs (my dog is reactive).”
“Candice was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be more impressed with her, her service and communication. We have a 3 month old puppy, and she was so patient with him, working on tons of training. In just a quick weekend stay, he has already improved tremendously. Our dogs were so happy when we got home, and the house was left spotless. I would highly recommend Candice to anyone using Rover, especially first-timers who might be a little nervous about leaving their little ones. You’ll be leaving your babies in great hands!”
“Erica did such an amazing job house sitting for us and taking care of our cat and dog. She is excellent with communication, very quick to respond, and she sent us lots of photos and updates like we asked. She made us feel very comfortable and confident the entire time we were away. We're very grateful to have had our pets and home in such great hands during our trip!”
“Matt did a great job taking care of our cat and dog! I’m always nervous leaving them behind when going out of town, but Matt was communicate and made me feel at ease. T hey and our house were well taken care of!”
“Kim took great care of our dog Tucker while we were out of town. Our boy is pretty nervous with new people but was quick to become Kim’s biggest fan. We really appreciated the updates and photos.”
“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!”
“Arantxa gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. She goes above and beyond with updates, special care to keep their routine, and gives them so much love and attention. She genuinely treats your pets like they are her own. She is the BEST! 😊”
“Barbara was amazing! I came to Austin for a conference that had me away all day and night and wanted to make sure my 13 year old (spoiled) golden was cared for deeply. She was so attentive to his needs and care, it made me feel so at ease while I was away. Barbara was so professional, responsible, and attentive. Highly recommend her to care for your furry babies.”
“We’re new to town, and it’s always a little nerve-racking finding someone new to watch your baby. I’m so grateful we found Woody to watch our dog Woody (meant to be, right!?) in our home. I’m a pretty nervous pet parent, but Woody made me feel totally at ease from the start and took such great care of our boy. The updates and photos were perfect, and I knew both Woody and our home were in great hands. Highly recommend, and we look forward to booking with Woody again!”
“Mary is awesome! She's very communicative and gives our dogs the extra attention they need while we're away. She's very reliable and really came through when my travel plans home were cancelled unexpectedly and she was able to extend her stay for an extra day.”
“Christian is the best! My sweet old girl is quick to anxiety and requires a really calming approach. When I got home, Gracie was calmer than she was when I left! Such a gift.”
“Sara was amazing! She took our dogs on daily walks, sent daily photos, and loved on our animals so well. Our home was very well taken care of. She was kind and respectful. I fully trusted her to be in my space with my beloved animals. Will definitely ask her back!”
“Will 100% book another house sitting with Steven! I do not leave my anxious and timid Chihuahua with just anyone. She requires time to get to know people before trusting them. I was leaving for a day trip and needed someone to stay with my girl. Steve was easy to book and communicative throughout the entire process. We had a couple hours of overlap between me leaving and him coming in to take care of her. Within the first few minutes of meeting him and discussing her needs, I could tell he was going to be able to win my pup over. He kept me updated and let me know how she was doing at several points. It was so reassuring to have an attentive individual keep her happy and let me be worry-free for my trip. Thanks, Steven, for your patience and I appreciate you being so warm towards my pup! If you have a rescue pup, like mine, and are nervous about who to leave them with, Steven is your guy!”
“Christine has been a great sitter for my two dogs- one who can be very slow to trust sitters and she always keeps me informed with pictures and dogs are happy!”
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.

I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I’d love to keep Aleksi to ourselves 😊, but he is one of the best Rovers we’ve ever had. I’m always nervous leaving Woody with anyone, and Aleksi made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. His communication was fantastic, the updates were thoughtful, and he took amazing care of both Woody and our home. We came home to a happy dog, a spotless house, and total peace of mind. I can’t recommend Aleksi highly enough and would book with him again in a heartbeat!
Mo is so incredibly thoughtful and kind. He is great with our 12.5 year old boxer. He keeps up with her medication schedule, sent plenty or updates and pictures, and is just super communicative overall. With this being our second house/pet sitting experience with Mo, I can definitely say he is our new go to. Couldn’t recommend him more.
Allie housesat for me while I was out of town and was wonderful with Bisou. Her communication was excellent- she kept me updated throughout with photos and regular checkins. There were also some small things I needed done around the house that she was able to take care of for me with no hesitation. I'd definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
My husband and I had never used Rover before, so we were pretty nervous to be honest letting a stranger stay in our home to watch h our dog. But we were needing someone to watch our dog in our home as we don’t like to board her anywhere cause we don’t trust those places! Sarah did a great job and we appreciated how communicative Sarah was with us from start to end. She sent us so many pictures, videos, and updates. In all the photos and videos, it looked like our dog was having a great time, and she really did care for her with patience and love. Sarah was also very respectful of our home, by cleaning up after, and taking out the trash. Everything was left exactly how we left it. We will def be considering Sarah to watch our dog in the future. Thanks Sarah!
Sterling is fantastic! From our meet-and-greet, she was warm, friendly, and immediately put me at ease. The pups took to her right away, and I felt confident leaving them in her care. The photos, videos, and updates throughout the stay were much appreciated. Her communication was excellent, and it was reassuring to know how the dogs were doing while I was away. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. The Happy Meal and I highly recommend Sterling to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative. I'll definitely be booking with her again.
