About: I grew up with Rotties, Pit-Bulls, German Shepards, cats, and ferrets, and I've loved every second of it!! I have pet sit with dogs, cats, and chickens, and I will always do my absolute best to meet every pet's needs and requirements. I'm currently a student with a majority online class-load, so I will be very available and flexible to meet your pet care needs, whatever they may be. I can commute several times a day or stay the whole time to care for your pets, whatever your preferences and your pets needs. My pet care is limited to your home and your supplies. I do not take any pets back to my home for my and your own peace of mind.
“Alyssa did a wonderful job checking on our pup while we were away. She did a great job communicating how our girl was doing. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Kaile did such a great job with my two boys while I was away in Central Europe!!! I always got a text and photo update and she communicated so well. I never had to worry about my boys being cared for. Will book with her again ASAP!”
“Amarantha was AMAZING. I had anxieties about leaving my Leo over a long weekend since he's my little baby. She was very punctual and would communicate with me if she was running late. She even came in a second time since she would be late to the scheduled time to feed Leo. The pictures sent to me were awesome, and Leo seemed very well taken care of when we came back!”
“Isabel was absolutely fantastic with our six-month-old puppy, Oliver! This was our first time leaving him with someone new, and our original sitter fell through at the last minute. I reached out to Isabel on Rover just two days before we needed someone, and she responded within about 20 minutes and was able to help us out. From the very beginning, Isabel made us feel completely at ease. We FaceTimed beforehand, and she asked incredibly thoughtful questions—especially since Oliver is still a puppy and in the middle of training. She asked what commands we use, exactly how we say them, what his routine looks like around meals, and other questions I honestly wouldn’t have even thought to bring up with a sitter. When she came over, she let us know as soon as she arrived and afterward sent a detailed update with photos. She told us when she fed Oliver, what games they played, how he behaved, and even shared thoughtful observations about his personality. I really appreciated how attentive and engaged she was rather than simply stopping by to let him out and feed him. Most importantly, I came away from the experience feeling incredibly confident trusting Isabel with Oliver. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and takes the responsibility seriously. All of her amazing reviews make complete sense after experiencing it firsthand. Isabel is a 10/10, and we would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend her!”
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. I will also strictly follow the owners' guidance and preferences on things like allowing dogs on furniture or beds. 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: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid but have been a dog owner for over 15 years. I understand that all pets have their own needs and behaviors and I have dedicated myself to caring for others pets the same way as my own: with patience, understanding, love and lots of belly rubs and pets. I would love to help you and care for your pet(s)! Let’s chat about your pet(s) needs and what makes their tail wag! 😊 I work from home every day so that way your pups will not be alone and they will have plenty of attention, play time and care! I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. My neighborhood is safe for walks, we even have walking trails and our own neighborhood dog park!
“Mya was absolutely amazing with my cat! She communicated with me throughout the entire stay, followed every instruction perfectly, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious she genuinely cares about animals and has such a kind heart. I could tell my cat was well cared for and in great hands. I would recommend Maya to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you again, Mya—I truly appreciate everything you did!”
“I was away for two weeks, and she checked on my cats every 3 days while I was gone. Since they have automatic feeders and an automatic litter box, I mainly needed someone attentive to make sure everything was working properly — and she was amazing! She was very caring with my cats, kept me updated, and always sent pictures during her visits, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I could tell she genuinely cared about them. I would definitely choose her again if I need a pet sitter in the future!”
“Michelle did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were out of town. She was quick to set up an in-person meet and greet. She was reliable and sent us updates and photos, and helped check in on the house. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Audrey was very attentive to Jake’s needs & made us feel very comfortable and at ease with leaving Jake at home over the weekend. In-home visits twice per day are a much better option than boarding for our senior cat. Thank you so much, Audrey.”
“We have had Tina do drop-in visits for our cat several times now. She’s great! My cat loves her and looks forward to seeing her. Tina is incredibly responsive and reliable, and she always sends a lot of pictures and videos, which I love to see :)”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors animals since middle school but began taking it more seriously around 13-14. I’ve animal sat elderly dogs with special needs, puppies, and mostly small dogs! But I’ve also happily watched cats, rodents, birds, and fish so all animal friends are welcome! Excited to meet you and your best friends. I love animals and honestly any excuse to meet new ones is very exciting. I can always work Sundays and Fridays and I have time Tuesday and wednesday evenings to check in on them when needed or go on a little walk. My cat is fed 3 times a day for a total of 2/3 cup of food, he has a play routine before bed, is let on the balcony for fresh air with his harness and a line connected to the door so he cannot get to the edge of the concrete. He takes his flea meds every month, and goes to the vet every 6 for a little check in as he’s on a small weight loss journey. I work 6-8hrs a day 5 days a week but luckily he has a a cat roommate to nap and play with while I’m gone
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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
