Very appreciative of William for taking good care of our shy cat Petra during several days of scary thunderstorms. William was always quick to respond and very thoughtful with updates. Definitely recommend booking William!

Arantxa always goes above expectations, she’s set such a high standard it’s such a bummer when I can’t book her. She sends the best photos and updates and that are so adorable and funny. She’ll bring in packages, tell you if something is wrong or out of the ordinary at home, and help out in so many ways with pet care and more. She’s so reliable and trustworthy I am always at ease knowing she is caring for my pets. She’s so reliable genuinely loves animals, the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!!

About: Hi, I'm Steph! I've had dogs and animals since I was born. Growing up, my family usually had 5 dogs at a time (so much fun!!) and I worked at our local animal shelter during high school and college. Right now, I have a sweet 10 year old lab named Nala and she is my light. She is extremely friendly and anyone who meets her loves her! She still has great energy for being 10 years young, and appreciates hangs with other pup friends. I have used Rover myself when making sure Nala is in a great home when friends cannot care for her - I really love it! I work remotely permanently so I am home all the time! I start my days with morning walks so your pup would be more than invited to join me :) I am also up very early every morning so I am happy to have your pup join me for my morning coffee. I have a fenced yard for my Nala girl or your pups to hang out in but also a cozy home that I love having them in! I have plenty of room to crate too, if that is your preference when I step out or for bedtime. Happy to make your pet at home!!

Kelly's great! She cared for our pup while we were at a wedding. She was super communicative during every visit and was sure to send photos. Rocky loved her during the meet and greet. If you need a reliable sitter who will care for your pet Kelly is it!

Matt became Rockys best pal in a single visit. We were gone for 5 days and the level of trust Matt gave us and care he showed for Rocky far exceeded any other Rover we have ever used. We happily recommend Matt to take care of your pet.

About: I’ve grown up with big dogs my whole life. I believe that dogs are not just pets, they’re our family too and they must be treated with love and care. I work from home full time and I love to be able to take work breaks to get out and walk or play with pets. I live in an apartment but have plenty of space including a dog park to walk pets. I love hosting pets in my home and I’m always respectful of other people’s spaces should I need to come check in on your pet at your home.

About: Caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a kid, from checking in on a neighbor’s pet to hosting overnight stays. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments—senior pets are especially dear to me—understanding the extra care and attention they often need. From gentle routines to specialized care, I’m experienced in making sure older pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. No matter your pet’s age or needs, I provide a calm, caring environment where they’ll feel right at home. I currently have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means plenty of time to care for your pups! Whether they need overnight boarding or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I’m available for overnight stays starting at 4 PM—happy to provide a cozy, caring environment while you’re away! Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities! My apartment complex features a spacious, well-maintained dog park with a wonderful community of dogs and pet parents—perfect for social pups who love to play. But if your furry friend prefers a quieter experience, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m comfortable providing specialized care, whether that means crating, reinforcing training routines, managing special diets, or administering medications. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I have extensive experience caring for them. Plus, living on the first floor means easy access with no stairs—gentler on aging joints.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since birth and have lived with a dog all but 5 years of my life. Although I personally don’t have a furry friend, all of my friends do and often rely on me to provide their dog a fun vacation and safe stay while they are away. Anything from taking care of sick or older dogs to training puppies, I’ve been fortunate to watch a lot of dogs in my life and have earned their trust through care and treating them like family. Since I don’t have pets of my own, more of my day can be dedicated to yours. Whether dog or cat, my apartment offers space for both to roam and be outside. I also regularly walk on the Lady Bird trail located just steps from my home which allows me to be very active and your pet to do the same. I work in West Lake 3 days a week but am able to come home freely for lunch. The other 5 days of the week I am either working or hanging around my home, plenty of time to be dedicated to caring for your pets. I prefer not to crate animals while I am away if they don’t need to be. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe in my home while also feeling like on vacation, with the trail and dog park nearby. I am a huge animal lover so of course they are invited on the furniture and in my bed, however will respect your rules if they differ. Your pet will be treated as if it were mine because all of my love and time will be solely dedicated to it when I am home. You can feel safe knowing your dog or cat won’t have to be forced to get along with another while at home, but also having the ability to play with other dogs/cats on the trail and in the dog park.

Addison took great care of our cats with twice-daily visits over the weekend. Everything was handled smoothly, and we really appreciated the photo updates—it gave us peace of mind while we were away. She must be a bit of a cat whisperer, because even our shy cat came out for her, which never happens. I’d definitely book with her again.

Joan is an amazing cat sitter. This is my 2nd time having her watch my cats for a whole week while I was away. She’s kind, reliable, and genuinely cares about my girls. I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her care when I’m away. She keeps me updated and makes sure they’re happy and comfortable, not just “checked on.” I always come home to a clean space and well-cared-for cats. Highly recommend her!
