“Sarah was the absolute best petter sitter we’ve ever had! She was very attentive to our rabbits and sent pictures and videos. Her updates were very thorough as well. She left us Polaroid photos of our boys and even a card. Thank you Sarah!”
“Claire was super awesome with taking care of my three cats and keeping me updated on how they were all doing while I was away. Even my cat that is the most afraid of people warmed up to her so Claire definitely did a fantastic job taking care of my trio of cats! I did not have to worry about my cats at all while I was away which was a huge relief. I highly recommend having Claire look after your pets!!”
“Leah was amazing! She did drop ins for my cat and dog while we were out of town. She was reliable and the best communicator. We got pictures of our fur babies and never worried once about them in her care! Would recommend and would definitely book again.”
“Amyvis fantastic! My cats immediately took to her when she came to meet them. While taking care of them she sent updates and pictures that made me feel comfortable with her taking care of them.”
“Piper was great! She provided timely updates and plenty of photos during the visit. It’s obvious she really cares and takes the time to do things right. Will use again and would highly recommend!”
“Hannah did a great job taking care of my yorkie over the Thanksgiving day holidays. She really took time to get to know my pup (and her owners). I would definitely recommend Hannah to take care of your fur-babies.”
About: I've taken care of multiple breeds, ages, sizes and temperaments of dogs. I love taking them on walks or playing with them to help keep them active and entertained. I've owned dogs for most of my life and look forward to taking care of yours how you would yourself! I'm currently working part-time and have an open schedule, so I'm happy to look after your pup on relatively short notice. With enough heads up, I am happy to make my way to your dog and give them the attention they need! I can easily work with crating your pet how you see fit and am adept at handling different dog behaviors. If there's any part of the house that needs to be restricted from the dog, I'm able to accommodate. I also have experience with medicine administration for pets who need them as well.
“Lucinda and Colton were very responsive when it came to booking last minute. They communicated throughout the drop in visits and made me feel like my dog was in good hands. They were on time for every visit and they even reached out when they thought my dog wasn’t eating as he normally would. I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Sydney took care of our cats while we were out of town and it couldn’t have been a better experience. I got daily updates and pictures, and she did everything I asked her to do, and what the cats demanded, lol! I won’t hesitate to ask her to petsit again, and would recommend her highly!”
About: I’m a responsible 30-year-old who absolutely adores dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. My husband and I absolutely adore dogs and have grown up taking care of our family pets. While we don’t have one of our own at the moment, loving on other dogs through Rover is our fix until the time comes! I have a great history of caring for dogs, having spent years as a trusted Rover sitter in Austin, TX while I was in grad school. I love going on walks and would love it even more to have a furry friend by my side. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to take breaks to take care of your pet and am happy to work with what you need. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, cozy cuddle time, or a reliable companion while you're away, I’ll treat them like my own—with plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs! I’d love to help you keep your pet happy and cared for. Let’s chat and see how I can support you and your furry friend! 🐶💕 I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home or take breaks from the office as needed to take care of any and all pets. Unfortunately, I am unable to host in our home due to restrictions in my lease. However, I am happy to do drop-ins to care for your pet in home as well as walks!
About: I’ve had 1-2 dogs since the day I was born! I’ve never known life without a dog, so it is in my nature to care for them as family. I’ve helped raise my dogs from puppy to the end of life so I am well-versed in buds in any stage of life. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pups! I am available every day before 12:00 pm, a couple afternoons/evening every week, and weekends during the day. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I treat their space with the same care and respect as I would my own. I follow instructions meticulously while ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while the caretaker is away.
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life! I currently have a 3 year old golden doodle who loves other dogs and people. I’m happy to care for all kinds of pets with various needs! I’m currently working an evening shift 4 days a week, so weekends are best if you want your dog to have full-time attention. I’m also happy to watch pets when I work, they will just have to stay home alone while I am gone! I do not have a fenced in yard, but have lots of room to walk! I take my dog to the dog park at least a few times a week, so we will have plenty of exercise and play time!
“Abby did a fantastic job of caring for our cat. She definitely has a special touch - our cat bonded with her on the first visit - he always runs and hides when someone enters our house - totally a big fraidy cat! She sent photos of him every day. I highly recommend Abby - responsible, dependable, flexible and communicates well.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from tiny Shih Tzus to energetic Labs, and I’m experienced in meeting their unique needs. Whether you need someone to walk your pup or provide a safe and loving space while you’re away, I’m here to help. Your dog’s happiness and well-being will always be my top priority! I work a Monday - Friday 9-5 job! I am willing to commit my mornings or nights to walk or care for them. I am also able to commit my weekends for when I am not out of town! I have room to bring in a crate if they are kennel trained. I do not have a fenced in yard but am willing to let them out on a leash when needed. I live right next to campus that has great walking trails.
About: I have grown up with dogs and one of my favorite things growing up was walking them! Being outside is my favorite thing and having a dog to do it with is even better! I work from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, which gives me plenty of time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings to provide quality care. I typically do early morning walks or potty breaks before work, and once I’m done for the day, I have the flexibility to spend lots of one-on-one time with pets—whether that’s more walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. On weekends, I’m fully available and love dedicating extra time to pet care. I’m always happy to communicate clearly about schedules and make sure your pet gets consistent attention and affection throughout the day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that mirrors their normal routine as much as possible.

Birch has been walking and caring for our dogs Cooper and Winston and we couldn't be happier! She treats them like her own—sending photos during walks, remembering their favorite routes, and even noticing when one seems a bit under the weather-even before we did. They get so excited when they see her that they wiggle their whole bodies! Birch is punctual, communicative, and genuinely loves what she does. We trust her completely and recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their furry family member.”
