About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m very patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including energetic pets that need active walks and playtime, as well as shy or older pets that need a calmer approach and extra patience. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, cleanliness, and making sure pets feel relaxed and loved. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy building trust with animals. I’m reliable, communicative, and I treat every pet like family. I also understand how important updates are for pet parents, so I make sure to send photos and messages so owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets attention throughout the day. I’m organized, reliable, and able to adjust my schedule to make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I’m very attentive, patient, and respectful of each pet’s personality and needs. I live in a nice apartment community with plenty of green areas for walks and a dog park nearby, which is great for exercise and outdoor time. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, creating a safe and relaxing environment for pets to feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats for over seven years and currently share my home with two dogs and two cats, so I understand all the different personalities, quirks, and needs that come with each furry friend. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and energy levels and have five years of experience as a dog owner myself. I’m comfortable giving medications to both cats and dogs, keeping routines consistent, and adjusting my care style based on your pet’s unique character, whether they’re shy, playful, energetic, or a senior who prefers gentle company. Above all, I’m loving, patient, and attentive, and I treat every animal as if they’re my own. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I do my best to schedule them around my work meetings. I’m happy to follow your pet’s feeding, walk, and medication routines exactly as you prefer. I can’t host pets in my home due to roommates, so all of my care takes place in your pet’s own environment where they feel safest and most relaxed. I’m very mindful of routines and instructions, and I make sure doors, gates, and feeding schedules are always handled carefully. Since I work from home, I can coordinate visits around my work meetings and spend quality time with your pet, making sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have trained and cared for my own dogs, both small and large breeds, all of my life. As a volunteer at animal shelters here in Austin and the Bay Area in California, I have learned to manage and adapt to varied—and sometimes difficult—dog personalities, temperaments, and needs. I am also very comfortable with large animals, having owned and trained my own horses for decades. As a retired journalist and journalism professor, I bring trustworthiness, reliability, and excellent communication to animal care. I can provide walks, engaging playtime, comfort for anxious animals, and administration of simple medications. Please note: While I am an expert animal caretaker, I am new to the Rover platform. I am currently offering introductory rates for a limited time while I build my local profile.I I work from home as a writer/reasercher on my own flexible schedule. i can accommodate your and your pets' schedules on weekdays as well as weekends. I provide walks as needed, playtime, comforting if he or she is anxious, simple medicstions and wound-dressing, and and of course feeding and watering on their schedule.

About: Hello there! My name is Robin and I am so excited to be able to meet you and your pets! I have such a deep love and passion for animals and am eager to be able to connect with them. Your pet is your family, and i understand what it’s like to have to be away from them whether it’s for work or a trip, which is why i plan to give the upmost attention and love to your family. I am a responsible, responsive and outgoing dog lover. I love meeting new people, new animals and being outdoors. Hopefully i get the opportunity to connect with some of you and adventure with your fur babies! I am new to the Austin area and am open to bookings immediately! My schedule is flexible so i am open to last minute sittings or walks! Please reach out with any assistance you may need and I’ll be sure to respond quickly. For my pets, i love taking her to the dog park and just long walks in our community. We live in an apartment so it’s important she still gets to run freely.
About: I grew up walking, feeding and playing with small and large dogs. Ive watched friends’ younger cats and cared for two of my own high need senior kitties. I will primarily be free later in the day. I am off on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays so on those days I am more able to devote time. I keep a tidy environment to ensure the safety, healthy, and happiness of all pets. I make sure to keep everything organized to best take care of all necessities.
About: As a pet owner of 4 cats and 2 dogs myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I have experience working with dogs with behavioral challenges and know how to create a calm, safe environment for every animal. My dogs are very social and friendly, but if a pet needs space or is not comfortable around others, I’m able to safely keep them separated while still making sure they get plenty of attention, care, and exercise. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home most days of the week. I’m home all day Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, which allows for frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and plenty of attention throughout the day. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I work in the office but am typically home by 4:30 PM and make pet care a priority as soon as I return. Since I already care for my own 4 cats and 2 dogs daily, I’m very used to maintaining consistent routines, monitoring behavior, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level to help them feel as safe and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, feeding on their normal schedule, and lots of attention throughout the day. I’m experienced with multi-pet households and can safely separate pets if needed to ensure everyone is comfortable and gets equal care and attention. In a client’s home, I aim to keep pets in their normal routine by following feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions closely while also providing companionship and updates to owners. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pets, so I focus on being attentive, reliable, and responsive.
“We left our kitties in Ashlynn’s care with much less notice or instruction that I would have normally wanted — and a historic rain storm even blew in! But she wonderful job making sure the kitties were cared for and cuddled for more than a week. She even cleaned cat barf off a comforter. We really appreciate her exceptional dependability & kindness!”

Kaleigh is my go to cat sitter! My kitty Mousse loves having her around. She always takes great care of mousse, getting him fresh water, cleaning out his litter box, to even hanging out with him a little bit longer just to give him loves. So happy I can rely on her to always be there for mousse!
Madison was helpful as always with my cats, even when I was out during terrible freezing weather. She was very communicative and helpful in doing a few extra things for my home and cats to make sure everything would be okay until I returned. Highly recommend!
Julian was amazing with our two cats! He showed up everyday on time and left detailed descriptions of what he and the cats got up to! We looked forward to the fun pictures and videos he would send at the end of each visit. We know our cats were in great hands while we were away and we will be booking with him again in the future!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
