“Velma was great with both of my dogs, she kept me updated with photos and messages. She hand feed them a few times since they didn’t want to eat on their own. She did very good taking care of them.”

“Sunny was great! She was very kind and sent updates. She made herself available and was very professional when my cat threw up while she was there. Definitely recommend her!”

“Sarah helped take care of my little guy over the weekend. She was a quick study for an old cat with a few extraordinary needs. She showed up at the requested times and provided adequate summaries. Her care for my Wyatt was spot on.”

“Nacho takes amazing care of my two cats. I have one very needy ragdoll who needs lots of pets and attention and one very scardy cat. Both of them seem super comfortable around him and he will be their sitter going forward for all future trips. So thankful to have found him.”

“Nev was so great for daily visits for our senior dog Duke while we took a mini vacation. Thank you so much for accepting our booking on such short notice—we truly appreciate your flexibility and willingness to help us out last minute. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pet was in good hands, and we’re really grateful for your kindness and reliability. We would absolutely book with you again!”

“Diana has always been awesome with our kitties. She makes sure they have plenty of play time when she comes over and gives them snacks in addition to their meals. She always goes above and beyond and is willing to flex if needed. We had peace of mind whenever we left town knowing Diana was watching them. I highly recommend Diana for your pet sitting needs.”

“Michael remains a regular sitter for my senior kitty. He is quick to reply, flexible to change in care for my pet, and reliable. He makes sure all requested tasks are completed and provides pictures of completed work.”

“Ericka is the best cat sitter we have ever had. She is so attentive to our two kitties. She always gives through updates for each visit AND she always ensures their litter box is clean, which is such a relief for us. Highly recommend her!!!”

“Jessica was AWESOME and came through for me on a short notice! She was punctual and sweet! Quick response and easy to communicate with! My pup was taken good care of and got the much needed exercise! Will continue to book with her!!!”

About: I have always had pets, specifically indoor dogs and cats. I also have 2 years experience as a kennel tech at a boarding/grooming facility where I worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, reptiles, rabbits and other small mammals. I am comfortable with any size dog and most temperaments. Each dog deserves care and attention, I am well aware that certain breeds have more difficult personality traits (and for good reason, too!) so just let me know what your dog needs and I will accommodate. Regarding dog walks: I am not currently booking for dog walks due to a torn ligament in my ankle. I am still capable of drop ins, boarding, etc. as I am healing, but walks are on hiatus for a few weeks! I am stable/sturdy - just in a boot. I work full time but am available after 5pm on weekdays. I do have a flexible schedule so if you need something, I may be able to accommodate if I can work from home! I have open availability on the weekends. As someone with kennel tech experience, I am very comfortable crating dogs and taking them for walks, playing as much as they want, and adjusting to their specific needs. I also have experience administering medication, both oral and injections.
“Lexi was such a joy to have as a cat sitter! Not only was so responsive and attentive, but she built a relationship with my kitties and documented all of their cute moments to send to me. She even went through trouble-shooting issues for my few automatic appliances! Would recommend to everyone.”

“Sierra was AMAZING! I have never used rover before so I was definitely nervous. Sierra took fantastic care of my little kitty!! She sent updates and photos everyday! If I ever need a sitter again I will 100000% be going with Sierra!!!!”

“Joshua was an absolute lifesaver! Leaving my peta for a whole month was tough, but Joshua put my mind at ease. My pups were so happy and well-cared for when I got back. I could tell they really bonded with him. If you need a trustworthy and loving dog sitter, Joshua is your guy!”

“Flor is absolutely the sweetest! Our picky fur babies opened up to her quickly! I reached out to Flor very short notice and the whole meet/greet and visit went far smoother than the day trip my husband and I had lol Thank you, Miss Flor!”

“Mikelah has been so great! She is punctual and always leaves a great overview of her time with my dog. She always takes lots of photos and it looks like he is having the best time with her. I’d book again without hesitation!”

“This was our second time booking Sam, and once again, he was fantastic. He’s incredibly reliable and took great care of our dog, Roberta, while we were away for a quick weekend trip. I was especially nervous this time because our longtime dog, Noah, recently passed away, and this was Roberta’s first time being left alone. Sam was thoughtful and attentive—he sent lots of adorable photos that showed she was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of playtime. One thing that really stood out was that he left a kind little personal message on our doorbell camera before leaving. It was such a simple gesture but meant a lot. It showed us how much he genuinely cares. Sam treats our home and our pets with respect and kindness. He’s great with animals, communicates well, and gives us real peace of mind. We trust him completely, Roberta adores him, we look forward to the next time soon! Thank you again Sam! :)”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life- dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, rats, hedgehogs, etc. Anyone who knows me knows I have such a big heart for animals and am truly amazed by them. I am currently in school to get my degree in biology to use to work at the San Antonio Zoo in animal conservation. I am trusted by all friends, family and coworkers to pet sit- I even have experience in administering medication to pets and experience in caring for senior animals. I believe all animals deserve love and respect no matter their size, and I promise to take care of your pet like my own. I currently work as a manager at a coffee shop, so I don’t mind getting up early or staying up late to take care of your pet. I am not on a fixed schedule, so week by week it may change but I will always have time to care for your pet. I am a very aware person, and I know how much pets are part of the family. I will ensure that no animal gets out and that their routine is accounted for at all times. I believe in making sure animals are well taken care of- physically and emotionally.
Highland Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is our second time having Larissa watch our cat Electra, and I couldn't be any happier! Electra is very shy and doesn't normally warm up to people. But ut she warmed right up to Larissa and cuddled up to her. It was amazing!!! Larissa took great care of her and our home. I highly recommend her

I can’t say enough great things about Melissa! She is incredibly kind and caring with Milo, and it truly shows in the way he gets so excited to see her. She always goes above and beyond—not only making sure he gets a great walk, but also taking the extra time to clean his paws or dry him off if he gets wet, which I really appreciate. On top of that, she’s so thoughtful and reliable—she even brings our packages inside without being asked. It’s such a relief knowing Milo is in such good hands and that she genuinely cares about his well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly dedicated!

Alondra is great , I can’t recommend her enough! She went above and beyond in every way while taking care of my pets. Not only did she make sure everything was handled perfectly, even dealing with an outstanding issue, she also kept me constantly updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. I'm very thankful again for the extra issue with the door.

Allison went above and beyond to make sure my cats were taken care of. :) She even went above and beyond and scooped their litter box for (which wasn’t previously asked of her, as I was only away for one day). She kept me updated and sent pictures during each visit. Thank you, Allison!
