“Jade was a great cat sitter! She did great with my cat who can be standoffish, and was very commutative and sent lots of photos. Also helped work with my leasing office to get access to the building when the call box broke.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, whether it’s my own animals or neighbors/family. I know that animals need extra love when their moms and dads aren’t home. I graduated high school last year, and am trying to make a career out of animals whom I really love. I’m available almost everyday all day. My mom also works from home and helps when needed. I understand being worried about strangers taking care of your animals, I always make sure to treat everyone’s babies as my own. I have a Maltese who needs special meds and routine for his anxiety, and very neurotic golden. Dogs who need special care are my specialty.
“Ashley is a great sitter - very professional, on time, and most importantly all my animals love her. She is my go to sitter now whenever I need one. Thank you Ashley!”
“We enjoy having Ashley care for our senior cat when we travel. She's very kind and communicates thoroughly about her visits. She sends us pictures and video too. Next time we travel we'll have peace of mind that Pudge will be happy. She even brought up our trash can after it was emptied!”
“Elisabeth took amazing care of my girl Lucy! She communicated so well, I had zero worries on my trip. She goes above and beyond to make your pet feel comfortable and happy while you’re gone. She will be my regular sitter in the future!”
“Christa will be our go to cat sitter going forward. She was punctual, communicative, and just all around great with our cats. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that our cats were well taken care of. 10/10 recommend”
“This was my first time booking with Mary and she was awesome with my puppers. She let me know when she was on her way and kept in contact with me when she was there. 100/10 recommend her for your future needs.”

About: I’ve always loved caring for animals! I had my dog, Sophie, for 9 years, so I have plenty of experience caring for a dog, keeping up with their needs, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also cared for my neighbors’ pets when I was younger, which helped me learn how to be responsible and attentive with animals. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention I gave Sophie! I’m dependable, caring, and excited to meet your furry friend. 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student looking to earn some extra money to help cover school supplies, books, and other college expenses. I’d love to combine that with something I genuinely enjoy; caring for animals! I have lots of love for both cats and dogs, so I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of company, whether that means playing, going on walks, or simply relaxing together! 🐾 I’m also happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, and other everyday pet-care needs. Your pets will get lots of attention, care, and love while you’re away! ❤️
About: Caring for others has been a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember—both people and animals. I’ve cared for my own pets, dog-sat for family and friends, rescued lost pets and helped reunite them with their owners, and have always been drawn to animals who need a little extra care and patience. I currently have a nine-year-old Beagle/Toy Poodle mix named Millie and a cat named Josie, who is about six years old. I rescued Josie as a stray when she was sick and in need of care. I took her in, helped her get healthy, patiently earned her trust, and ultimately decided to make her part of my family. Her journey has given me firsthand experience with cats who may be fearful, shy, anxious, temperamental, or slow to trust, and taught me how important patience, understanding, and respecting an animal’s boundaries can be. I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I pay close attention to animal body language and behavior and can recognize the signs that a dog or cat is comfortable, fearful, overstimulated, anxious, playful, or welcoming. I believe understanding those signals is one of the most important parts of caring for an animal because every pet communicates differently. My caregiving experience also extends to people. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and children, helped my mother with babysitting while growing up, and have provided care and companionship to elderly individuals. My professional caregiving background also includes working as an obstetric technician, caring for newborns, young children, and mothers following delivery, as well as caring for elderly patients, including those who needed comfort, companionship, and attentive support. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, dependable, gentle, and attentive to the needs of those in my care. Whether I’m caring for a person or an animal, I understand that they may not always be able to tell me exactly what they need. I’ve learned to pay attention, recognize changes in behavior, and respond with compassion. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be difficult. I take that trust seriously. I’m comfortable following your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and giving them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. I also believe in keeping owners informed and communicating if I notice anything unusual about their pet. Most importantly, I don’t see pet sitting as simply “watching an animal.” I see it as caring for a member of someone’s family. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. My schedule is flexible because I do contract work, allowing me to focus on pet visits and walks. I’m happy to work with clients’ schedules and do my best to accommodate their routines, work hours, and pets’ individual needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and making every pet feel comfortable in my care. I have experience with dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and temperaments, including shy, anxious, fearful, energetic, and more independent animals. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can recognize when a pet is comfortable, overwhelmed, nervous, or needs space. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I will respect their routines, boundaries, environment, and individual needs. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are safe and well cared for.
“Crystal was absolutely excellent! We booked her fairly last minute for three drop-in visits for our cat. We had to extend it to five drop-ins due to a change in our flight, and she was flexible and helpful. She sent lots of photos and updates. She was even kind enough to drip our faucets since it was going to be super cold out, feed our fish, and brought in some packages for us. I would use Crystal again and recommend her!”
“Sarah did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cats were happy and well looked after. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was younger. I have had cats, dogs and tarantulas, so I am used to a wide range of animals. I live alone and work a typical 9-5 job as an attorney in town, and I do not have any pets of my own. I always pet-sit for my friends' cats and dogs, so I would love to do it with Rover. I love to play games with the animals to keep them stimulated. I also enjoy walking animals and simply being with them. I am very good with both dogs and cats.
About: I am an animal lover and have over 33 years of experience! I grew up having dogs and cats. I have had 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats, 4 of which were strays. I have trained all of my furry friends and even helped my Boston Terrier Mix have puppies. I have also cared for elderly pets and so I understand what it takes to give them the love and treatment they need in their more frail years. I currently have very flexible hours and can take care of your furry friend whenever you need me. I had a career in Nursing, but I am currently not practicing so I am free to help you out with your needs. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I have always had pets in my home, but take great pride in my home being well cared for and clean. I would ensure your home would be taken care of in the same way while looking after your pets. Whether it is my home or yours, or taking your pets for a walk, I will be respectful and ensure your pet and your home is well looked after.
About: Traveling for the holidays or vacation? Need someone you can trust to care for your furry family member and home? Let’s schedule a time to chat. This is something that allows me additional funds for school and, it’s a lot fun! Your furry family member could never overstay their welcome. I own a kennel that securely holds a dog that weighs to 70lbs. I am very accessible living the heart of South Austin. My primary goal is to assist those who have a chaotic schedule but genuinely care for the well-being of their furry family friend. I’m here to help! Secondly, I'd love to be able to save up for my own furry family friend. Since I do not have one of my own dog, yours can and will be my primary focus. I take very seriously the mental and physical health of all animals. If I’m not traveling, I wfh locally and allow walks to be a much needed break from zoom calls. I like to love places better than I arrived! During my services I am reading your furry family member body language and getting to know them through play. My main focuses are safety, comfort, and mental and physical stimulation.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hermitage
My little guy has really bad anxiety 😥 So do I leaving him for a extended period of time Angela helped him so much. She went the extra mile to keep him calm. He looked so happy in the report cards. I definitely made the right choice hiring her. You could see he was very glad to see her every time she came to care for him and hang out with him. I will definitely hire her again for future trips.
This was our first time leaving our dogs and depending entirely on drop-in visits while we were out of town, so having someone we could trust was a huge deal for us. Amber did a fantastic job caring for our dogs and made the entire experience stress-free. She was also very attentive and may have even helped tidy up a bit, which was such a thoughtful touch. She kept us informed, handled everything smoothly, and even administered medication without any issues. One of the biggest signs of approval from our dog Addison is that she doesn’t want people to leave, and she definitely gave Amber a hard time when it was time to go, which told us all we needed to know about how comfortable she felt with her. (Sorry, Amber!) We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and couldn’t be more grateful. It is such a relief knowing we have someone dependable, trustworthy, and caring that we can count on when we need help with our dogs. We will absolutely continue using Amber in the future.
Crystal was fantastic! She took great care of our pet and provided frequent updates, photos, and messages throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated our pet like her own. Communication was excellent, and we always knew how things were going. We would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Carmen was absolutely incredible with my dog Sally. It’s probably the first time I’ve felt at ease leaving Sally at home with someone that wasn’t a friend or family member. She was super communicative and attentive to all of Sally’s needs. 10/10 would gladly book her again!
Reagan was great! We were just in Nashville for a few nights and needed someone to stop in to check on Watson and feed him so he wasn’t alone all evening. She fed him dinner, let him out and stayed with him for an hour so he wasn’t alone. We would highly recommend Reagan if you need a dog sitter!
Hannah has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She is incredibly communicative, keeps us updated, and is always quick to respond. Managing three dogs is no small task, but she handles them with so much care and confidence. She is attentive to our specific requests and makes us feel completely at ease whenever we are away. It gives us such peace of mind knowing our dogs are in trustworthy hands. She is reliable, close by, and truly awesome at what she does. We will continue booking with her and highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.
Adazia did awesome with our pup. She was available very last minute! My app also didn't update my address when I did and accidentally took her to the wrong place and she was very understanding. She did so well with tonks!! We will definitely be using her again!
