“Jennifer did amazing. I had a family emergency and need to leave town she responded quickly and jumped right in to house/puppy sit. Within the first few hours, I could tell Winnie was in good hands. I had so much going on I didn’t have time to check on her, but I didn’t even worry. I knew she was taking care of. Jennifer went above and beyond she took care of my puppy and was respectful of my place. I highly recommend her and I definitely will be choosing her again.”

About: I have lived and worked with pets my whole life, but have been a professional pet care provider for 8+ years. I spent the last 6 years at a doggy daycare in Austin, providing professional care for dogs of all kinds. I am experienced with administering medication, orally and via injection. I am also comfortable and experienced with handling pets that need special attention for behavioral or health reasons. I have two senior kitties of my own, but I love all animals, and enjoy getting to bond with and care for other people's pets. In addition to dogs and cats, I am also experienced with other pets, including reptiles and amphibians, smalls mammals, birds, and farm animals. I will be working full-time starting mid-October. I am still able to care for pets that are adjusted to schedules of parents who work full-time. I am happy to wake up early to accomodate morning routines before i have to leave for work. Saturday's are half-days, and I won't be working Sunday's, so my weekend availability is more flexible! I am living in a rental property, and unfortunately cannot care for pets in my own home. I am happy to provide whatever level of safety and restriction you would like me to follow for your pets- remaining in fenced in yards, or on leash at all times.
“Samuel was great with my animals and communicated how everything was going. Left the house very clean and very professional. I will use him again.. my animals loved having him there.”


“Shelby took great care of our dog, Woodrow!! She is easy to work with, prompt to respond, and sent lots of photos while we were away. Woodrow has a lot of fear and hesitation when it comes to new situations, but this was not a problem for Shelby - her patience enabled her to build trust with Woodrow during her stay. He even let her take him on a few walks (which is a huge step for him!). We had peace of mind during our trip knowing Shelby was taking care of Woodrow. Thank you, Shelby!”

“Juliana took great care of our Tuff, Toby, and Titus! On top of letting our dog in the back yard a view times during a couple of overnights, she took him for lengthy walks and send pictures. I really appreciate her and recommend her.”

“took great care of the house and dogs while we were gone! she even accommodated a last-minute extension and having to administer medication to our senior dog who got sick right before we left.”

“Michael did an excellent job caring for our dogs while we were away for the weekend. She is very professional and we will definitely be calling her again nest time we need to leave our dogs at home. I highly recommend her services!”

“Ashley was fantastic! Her background as a former vet tech really shows—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about puppies and made us feel completely at ease. We also reached out last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We’re really grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again!”

“Great service and excellent communication. My pets were very well taken care of and they even managed to make friends with my antisocial cat. They sent tons of pictures throughout the visit and stayed in constant communication. Would definitely book with them again.”

“We cannot thank Mel enough for dog sitting. It is truly amazing to have someone you can fully trust with your fluffy babies when you are away home. They not only give our dogs the best care, but they are flexible with any last minute changes including extending dog sitting. They send us many pictures and videos of them everyday, and keep us updated on everything. We are so lucky and blessed to have found the best dog sitters that we can trust our lives with and will be always going back to them.”

“Melisa did a great job taking care of our dog and home while away. She sent lots of updates which was really appreciated. We’ve had Melisa dog sit for us before and would recommend her to others!”

“Norma was absolutely great! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and kept me updated with photos, which I really appreciated. Roxy was super happy and clearly very well cared for! 🐶❤️ Norma also took great care of my house and left everything in wonderful shape. I felt completely comfortable knowing Roxy and my home were in good hands. I will definitely use Norma again and highly recommend her!”

About: I’m a proud pet parent and lifelong animal lover. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them the way you do. Whether you’re heading out of town, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I’m happy to provide loving, reliable care. I have experience caring for companions of all ages, from energetic puppies who love to play to senior dogs who appreciate a slower pace and extra comfort. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 💚NEW CLIENTS- Please be sure to carefully review my profile, as there will always be other pets in the home. *If your companion is boarding for an extended stay please let me know ahead of time if you will be bringing along a crate for their stay, or needing to use one of mine. The only time a kennel is needed is for boarding - so I can ensure their security while I step out to take my children to/from school. If you are considering boarding and are in need of a crate, one will be provided for a $10 additional fee (added to your Rover booking). Rest assured your pet will be treated like family in my care. I let my clients decide the level of communication and am more than happy to provide daily updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in good hands. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, playtime, cuddles, or doggie day care, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. Caring for pets has always been a major part of my daily life. Pet sitting naturally fits into my routine because I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, and making sure animals feel safe and comfortable. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, my focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while maintaining the routines they’re familiar with. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, potty breaks, and any special care requirements. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and preferences so they feel secure and well cared for while their family is away. I also prioritize communication by providing regular updates, photos, and prompt responses so owners always know how their pet is doing. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, confident, and supported throughout the entire experience.
“Braydon is one of the best dog sitters I’ve had on this platform. He kept me updated throughout the day and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. He followed all of our house rules, played with the dogs, and made sure they got their walks in. When I came home, the house was exactly as I left it. Most importantly, my dogs genuinely seemed to love him, and that means everything to me. I’ve already booked him again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Ellie was professional and kind to our animals. We appreciated her communications and attention to our animals' care. Thanks for making our travel easier, by letting us leave knowing our pets are well cared for!”

About: I am a special education teacher who has a lot patience, respect and love for children and dog especially those with special needs. Trust is important.

I take the safety of pets very serious and would adhere to the requirements of each home security to provide quality and safe care for each family's beloved pet(s).

Where do I start with how great she is! Meg came over for a meet and greet to ensure Nala, my cat, got to meet her ahead of time. I was honestly shocked because my skittish girl who typically doesn’t approach strangers went right up to her with no hesitation. Meg took detailed notes and even asked about household things she could do while I was gone (e.g., asking what days the garbage man came, etc.). Most importantly, my cat has a heart condition and takes three medications. I’m always worried when I leave since she’s not the easiest cat to get meds in. But not for Meg, she said she had no issues getting Nala to take her medications. I’m so thankful for Meg and can’t say enough great things about her. Nala clearly trusted her and so do I!

Dani was so wonderful. She was excellent at communicating and I can tell how much she loves animals. I immediately felt comfortable with her and my pets all loved her. She took excellent care of my pets and left my home cleaner than when I left. :) I will definitely hire Dani again!

Wow, what a gift Sonia is. From the start, communication was excellent, and it was clear that my dog was in caring and capable hands. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while we I was away. It was also very special that she appreciated and noticed the same little things about my dog that I do, a sign that she was being present and loving towards my little one. So happy to have found her. Thank you Sonia!!
Amazing sitter! Meet & greet went well- she was thorough- asked good questions and was kind to the dogs and cat! The sit itself went wonderfully, she sent photos and we got home to a very tidy home with a clean litter box and clean dog bowls! We would definitely recommend and will work together again!

Dorothy was absolutely amazing with both of our boys! We had a meet and greet before she house sat for us and the boys instantly loved her. While we were away, she followed all of our rules, especially with giving Odie his daily medication twice a day. She sent us constant pictures of the boys while we were away, and there was never a moment where she was not playing with them and keeping them entertained. Dorothy was an amazing sitter, and we will be more than happy to have her watch over our boys again. Thank you Dorothy!!

We had an unexpected situation come up right as we were leaving for Puerto Rico, and our original sitter canceled last minute. Thankfully, this amazing couple stepped in on very short notice and completely saved the trip for us. From day one, they were incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring. They made sure our dog was comfortable, stuck to his routine, and handled his medication perfectly. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while being away. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they look after, and that meant everything to us. We came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive sitters—we’ll definitely be booking with them again!

Another stellar visit with Rebeccahlynn! She is so wonderful with our 14 year old Shih Tzu Barkley - this is her second time staying at our house while we were on holiday. She is incredibly responsive, kind and attentive. We received tons of photos and updates while away, which gave us a great peace of mind. I’m reluctant to give her such a stellar review as she may become too popular for future bookings. But she is really amazing with our precious little man.

Sonya was SUPER sweet and attentive to my pups, I get super bad anxiety leaving my babies due to past experiences but with Sonya I didnt worry at all! My dogs are a pain and try and get away with everything so I'm very glad she knew exactly how to read my dogs!
