1. Christine C.

“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!”

“I would definitely recommend Victoria for your pet sitting needs! She stayed at my apartment with my cat who has some separation anxiety for an extended trip. I felt very comfortable and got daily updates and pictures. I came back to a clean apartment and happy kitty!”


4. Matt D.

“Matt was everything you want when booking a new sitter. Our dog loved him, he was super responsive before and during, and had a real ease and kindness about him. We didn’t worry at all and as a pet owner you can understand how invaluable that is:) we loved Matt, will rebook him forever in the future and recommend you book him too!!”




5. Erin S.

“Erin was a great sitter through and through!! She took the time for an extensive meet and greet and took notes. We chose her cause she is familiar with cattle dogs but will absolutely continue to use her cause of the great care she gave Bam Bam. She sent lots of photos and updates and checked in before the trip and before the last day. 10/10”

7. Yuliia P.

“Yuliia is an excellent dog sitter. She stayed with our dog Hank in our home and provided him with lots of attention, stimulation, and loving affection. We loved the many wonderful photos she sent documenting what a good time they were having. Her great care for Hank and our home made a much needed trip possible. Highly recommend.”


8. Woody H.

“Woody was an absolutely excellent house/dogsitter for our resident pup and foster dog. Their pure enthusiasm and affection for our pups was apparent from our first meet-and-greet, and we felt beyond comforted and relieved to know the dogs were getting so much love and attention while we were away. Woody provided updates with just the right frequency each day, took the dogs on multiple walks a day (a HUGE plus for us), and was so diligent and thoughtful about making sure our instructions/requests were fulfilled -- even checked in with us when our foster's ears were inflamed to ask if we'd like them to help administer medication, which was super thoughtful and appreciated. House was totally clean and pristine when we returned! Completely lovely person to chat with as well, and we look forward to hosting them again next time we're headed out of town!”

12. Lily P.

“Lily is an amazing dog sitter!! She is very communicative and is proactive in asking questions or clarifying details about any needs that arise. When I get home, the pups are completely content—making it clear that they feel comfortable and happy with her taking care of them. Will definitely continue to reach out to Lily for future needs!”


13. Grace V.

“Grace took care of my dog, Penny, while I was visiting Austin for a wedding. Penny has separation anxiety and I needed someone to take care of her at the hotel room. This was our first experience with Rover and it was great! Grace was very kind and attentive, she provided me with frequent updates and pictures. Penny had a great time and I was able to enjoy the event knowing that she was being taken care of.”

15. Gabi S.

“Gabi took such great care of our kitties while we were away for two weeks. We came back to happy cats and a clean house, and we will absolutely use Gabi again next time we leave town and have to leave our babies at home. She send many adorable photos, asked questions if she didn’t know the answer to something, and kept us in the loop the entire time we were gone. Thanks again, Gabi, for being such an awesome sitter!!”

About: Hello! I’m Crystal, a full time hairstylist but occasionally housesit and dog sit for my clients. I’ve taken care of 4 golden retriever at one time for a full month.

She sent so many pictures of both my dogs daily and made sure they got a long walk and lots of play. Jessica is super reliable and perfect for puppies! Will definitely be coming back to her every time I need a sitter.”
