“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.”
“We had a great experience with our Rover sitter, Kaleigh! She did drop-in visits for our dog, Miley, and was absolutely wonderful. She was very sweet with Miley and clearly gave her lots of love and attention during each visit. Kaleigh was always timely and reliable, and we really appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Miley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“Tina is the BEST! She is my go to whenever I have to go away for a trip, I’ve used her probably 10+ times to check in on my cats. So thankful to find someone so reliable and trustworthy.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I already plan my days around feeding, walking, and checking on animals. I make time in the morning, afternoon, and evening for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and updates for owners. I stay organized so every pet gets attention and care throughout the day. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean space, fresh water, regular meals, and lots of attention. I follow the owner’s rules for feeding schedules, crate time, or training. In a client’s home, I keep their pet in their normal routine. I walk them, give them food and water, play with them, and send updates so owners know their pet is safe and happy.
“We had a wonderful experience with Amarantha, our communication was excellent, and we felt completely comfortable knowing our pups were in good hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Madeline was great! We will definitely use her again in the future. She was super responsive and very attentive to our pups while we were away and we felt very confident when they were in her care. Definitely recommend her!”
“Katie was amazing with my cat while I was on vacation! My cat absolutely loved her, and I felt so comfortable knowing she was being well taken care of. Katie visited twice a day, made sure she had fresh food and water, cleaned her litter box, played with her, and gave her plenty of attention and love. She also sent me updated photos every day, which I really appreciated and helped give me peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely hire Katie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“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 great job with my pups! I have 4 fur babies, she took care of them very well. I receive many pictures in every visit. I had a peace of mind thanks to her during my vacation. I would recommend her and would hire her again.”
“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!”

“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.”
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: Hello there! My name is Sofía, and I can’t wait to care of your pet! Here are some things you should know about me : I have one dog living with me. I have volunteered at animal shelters, wildlife rescue facilities, and animal therapy organizations. When volunteering at shelters, I bathed dogs, cleaned up their poop, played with, and walked them as well as played with cats. Additionally, I enjoy outdoor activities very much, so I am definitely in shape to walk your dogs and play with them. I hope I can be of service to you and your dog(s). My backyard is unfenced, except for the patio area and a room sized square for dogs to pee/poop in. Dogs are not allowed on furniture, but they can be on the bed if they stay on top of the blanket. If you know your dog won’t run away, we can play in the unfenced area of the backyard :) I do have a 30 ft leash that I normally use to play with my dog outside. I’m free most of the time. I just need more advanced notice if it is an overnight stay over just a drop in at your home. I will care for your pets however is needed and instructed. I have taken care of multiple senior dogs and dogs that take oral medication.
About: I’ve always taken care of my own dogs, growing up with a lab named Tucker and a Blue Heeler named Max. I now care for my son named Pesci, who is a happy boy when he gets pets and walks. Pesci survived heartworm treatment, and I have some experience provided that necessary care. Dogs generally enjoy when I pet them, and I’m capable of stopping by to give dinner or take on walks. I work full time in the office, and most days I head to work around noon, which allows me the flexibility to check in on your pets in the morning. Let me know if your pet care needs! My son Pesci is normally sleeps on the couch most of the day, but I let dogs out to play and go to the bathroom while providing love. I can help provide the essentials and some love while you’re away.
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.

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.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hornsby Bend
Alyssa did a great job taking care of my kitties while I was out of town. She came punctually every day and fed and made sure their water was flowing. She also spent some time playing with them and I can tell they enjoyed the company by the photos she sent every day. Highly recommend! Planning to use her services again!
We’re so happy we found Poleth to take care of Lulu and Panda! She was so sweet and attentive with both of them, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making them feel comfortable and loved. We had a few days without cell service and she was proactive in solving problems with the pups. We really appreciated all the updates and pictures while we were away. Seeing Lulu and Panda happy and having a good time made being away from them so much easier! 🥹❤️ We’ll definitely trust her with Lulu and Panda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter 🐾
Paula was exceptional. Her interaction with the dog was positive, productive, and healthy. Long walks were the norm, clear communication every visit, and great photos. It really did allow me to enjoy my time away, of course I still thought of my dog, but photos and the updates kept me very comfortable with the situation and it never once was I anxious or curious about what was happening. I had all the information I could want and when I got home my dog is hanging out on the couch just like when I left. I cannot give her a higher recommendation.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
