Top rated Hays house sitters
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She completely exceeded our expectations — she honored all our wishes and made our pets feel right at home. She cared for our two dogs and our cat with so much love and attention, and we were able to enjoy our vacation in total peace knowing they were in such responsible hands. This was our first time leaving one of our dogs, and she made her feel so comfortable and loved — even cuddling with her at night. Our other dog, who usually takes a while to trust people, bonded with her right away. When she left, both dogs followed her to the door, which says it all! She even went above and beyond by cleaning our home and putting fresh sheets on the bed (completely unprompted!). We are so grateful for her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. We can’t recommend her highly enough! ❤️🐾”
“Alex did a great job taking care of our Marlee! We loved the multiple daily updates with pictures. He was very respectful of our home and left it in pristine condition as well as bringing in packages and checking our mail. We know Marlee had a great time with Alex while we were away. Highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”
“It was so great to be able to rely on Dina for the best service possible for my Kaila. Kaila is a high energy pup and I was so grateful for Dina to make sure that she would be all tired out and happy to see me home! I highly recommend Dina - she's wonderful with Kaila!! I would have given this 10 stars if there was an option. thanks, Dina!”
“We’ve had Crystal house sit with our goldendoodle twice and she’s been just a great help! We’ve gone on two long weekend trips and have come back to a clean house and a happy cared for pup. She sends pictures and updates, and follows any requests I’ve made. I highly recommend her! :)”
“Dominique is amazing! Very communicative, professional and, best of all, very caring for our pups! We have one dog with bad allergies and requires extra care; she managed with no problem which gave us peace of mind while we were gone. We will definitely book Dominique again!”
“Joely was wonderful! She kept Ginger company for 3 days and helped me out SO incredibly much. She was very flexible in accommodating our unique situation while we were visiting the city. We greatly appreciate your help these days! Thank you Joely! 💕💕💕”
“Michelle was VERY thorough! My pups and cat really loved her. I appreciated the pictures and videos, and if she left the house, she let me know. When we got home, the dogs were happy-ish to see us.. clearly they were pampered and got lots of pets and attention. I wasn't nervous at all with Michelle, especially since my cat came out to meet her during our meet and greet. We will definitely keep her in mind for next time!”
About: I grew up with high-energy large hunting dogs. My own dog passed away this past Fall, but I love to give affection and care to other’s furry friends. Whether your dog needs to be walked 10 miles a day or is just a couch potato, I’ve got you covered! I currently work part time as a Tax Preparer and rarely have shifts for more than 4 hrs. Please let me know your dog’s needs and I’ll be happy to discuss the dates you are requesting! Lots of love for your furry friend, I’m great at keeping a schedule, and keeping all house rules/cleanliness. Ask me anything, I’m happy to accommodate!
“Cynthia was absolutely amazing!! Very attentive and communicative. Our pup absolutely loved her and she went above and beyond with everything we asked! She even went as far to make him a custom bandana with his name. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Elena was great and my pups loved her! I never had to wonder what they were up to because she sent plenty of pictures! They got lots of walks and playtime and seemed sad she was gone when I arrived home! I would definitely book her again!”
“Amazing. Jeffery stepped in at the last minute when my trip was unexpectedly extended. He did such a great job with my dogs. Was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures. I’ve struggled with some of the sitters on Rover so it was refreshing to have someone who cared and followed through”
“Kate was amazing. She stayed overnight to care for our cat while we were away. She was very communicative, responsible, and took great care of our cat. I highly recommend.”
“Had Michael over to watch Frito again and he did such a great job! Frito was well cared for and was happy as a clam when we got home. Even when there's a mishap due to a very curious pup Michael handles it so well. Thanks, Michael!”
“Wow! Jamie went above and beyond to make sure the animals were taken care of. Even stopping by HEB to pickup more food. Her updates were entertaining and very in-depth. Will definitely be rebooking again.”
“Mariah has watched Bear and Ollie over two different weekends in our home. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter! She goes above and beyond every time—sending lots of photo updates, giving the pups tons of love, and even helping with little things like brushing out ear mats from roughhousing. We always come home a clean house, and we’re so grateful to have found her. We will absolutely book again!”
“Absolutely amazing! Was so kind sweet loving with my dog and respectful of my place. Needed a sitter last minute and she jumped at it and truly saved me. Will be using all the time! And highly recommend!!”
“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”
Hays pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ellie was great in every way. Great communicator and prompt. She handled my high maintenance, rambunctious terrier well. Always a plus because she’s no cakewalk. The house was spotless, as if she was never here. Would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Robin took such great care of our cats and our home! She is very communicative and we loved getting pictures every day. We were so at ease knowing Robin was looking out for our cats—she’s a vet tech with lots of experience! It was clear she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Coming home to happy cats gave us so much peace of mind. We would happily book with Robin again!
I had a wonderful house / pet sitting experience with Kaitlyn. Her exceptional reliability and timely communications/updates provided much appreciated travel peace of mind and both of my dogs were happy and healthy. She was very attentive to my "girls" too - even quickly reacting and caring for a heat rash that developed on one of them. Lastly, she took great care of my house too - leaving it clean and tidy. We'll definitely use Kaitlyn for future sittings.
Michelle was so incredible. This was my first time having a dog sitter for my 8yr old vizsla + my new vizsla puppy, I have always had anxiety over leaving them with anyone but my parents but we recently moved so needed to find a sitter for them. Michelle made my first experience so positive. She was SO communicative, so patient with my very high energy and needy girls, and was so respectful of my home! I genuinely didn’t worry about them once in her care. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you, Michelle!!!
Trinity was amazing! We have a very reactive, nervous English bulldog and an 8 year old cat on medication, and she took as good care of them as we would have! It is so nice to have a sitter that we can rely on with our sweet (difficult) Hank and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing that he was with someone who would care for him fully while respecting his boundaries. Our home was left perfectly clean, and we even came back to a little goodie-bag of treats and a thank you note! We love Trinity!🩷
