“Lori did great as always and was able to cover holidays for me. I am so lucky to have her and the kitties are always glad to see her. Mittie watches out the window when she leaves.”
“Tina was amazing! Responded right away and was super willing to go let my dogs out last minute! And she took plenty of pictures! Would definitely recommend Tina and plan on using her regularly!”
“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!”
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.
“Kaile has been such an amazing rover to us since we used her. She helped me out during a last minute check in and it’s been great ever since. She leave amazing rover report cards and sends you lots of pictures of your dog during the visit which is always enjoyable to see. My dog loves her visits and I have no worries when she drops in to visit Mia”
“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!”
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: 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 have a bernadoodle and LOVE her. Shes the best thing ever and I know walking is the highlight of her day, so I’d love to give other dogs that same attention. My uncle owns a rescue so I’ve always helped with lots of dogs. I currently am a photographer, and do some marketing part time so I have availability throughout my week to walk your dog! M-Wednesdays are my most free days, as well as any Thursdays I don’t have travel plans. I walk safely and on the sidewalk/trails or walking paths. I will always be prepared with whatever makes you comfortable whether that’s water, some treats etc. (Poop bags ofc)
“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.”
“Christian is the best sitter we've ever had! Took such great care of our baby and sent so many pictures! Christian goes above and beyond!! Will for sure book again!!! 🧡🧡”
About: I have fostered puppies for 11 years and part-time raised service dogs for 3 years. I’ve owned dogs and walked/taken care of dogs my whole life. I will make sure your dog receives the highest level of care and that all of their needs are met. I work fully remote, so I am available to care for your pet 7 days a week. I am an early riser and flexible with time, and can work from anywhere! I create a welcoming and comfortable for animals in my home, and allow them to trust me in theirs. I groom and train my service dogs frequently, am comfortable with feeding medications. I am happy to chill out, go for walks, snuggle, play, whatever will make your dog happy!
“She did such an amazing job taking care of my dog! Not only did she make sure my pup got a great walk, but she also spent plenty of time playing with her and giving her extra attention. Receiving the photo updates was the best part of my day. She’s super reliable, friendly, and truly loves animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Claire did an excellent job taking care of my cat! She was extremely communicative, friendly, and showed so much love to my pet! When I came home, the litter box was perfectly cleaned and my cat was calm and happy! Highly recommend her for cat care :)”
“Sierra is always a fantastic sitter! My cat toby loves her, and even my shy cat comes out for some attention from her. I never feel anxious leaving town when I know she will be watching my kitties.”
About: From owning pets for over 10+ years, I've changed careers and learned new skills so that I would be able to properly take care of my pets by being as present as possible. I'm a dental hygienist, data analyst, web developer, and just an all around nerd - all license and certified, but my passion for animals never faded. One of the best things that I've learned about training pets is, instead of saying no and disciplining, we should guide them to what we want them to do and treat to reenforce the positive behavior rather than punish the negative (I promise, it takes longer, but it keeps them nice) I'm currently working part time and will be available to help with the little ones! I'm currently waiting on my paperwork to process to become a licensed dental hygienist, in the mean time I'm looking forward to diving into one of my passions, helping giving great care to your pet(s)! I would prefer to take care of pets in your home rather than my apartment (to save ourselves from any potential housing issues), and that way there's no extra stress for the little one having to learn a new place while they're getting familiar with a new face!
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a little boy and I age always loved all my pets. I love matching their energy and giving them the love they want and need. Currently, I'm going to school and I have a lot of time before and after school to hang out with any ones pets. I love getting up in the morning and hanging out with my cat so I believe that I would love to do the same with other pets. I love giving time to my cat. She's extremely curious and loving hiding in tiny areas of my apartment. I recently finish reorganized my room so that she has a bigger area to explore.
About: I’ve taken care of and cherished animals since childhood. There is nothing I love more than being a responsible pet owner and caretaker, making my own or other’s animals feel loved and special is what I do! I have taken care of a plethora of dog breeds, senior pups, and many cats as well. I will love yours like my own! I currently have my own pet that I care for daily, of course, but I am a graduate student and have a fairly open schedule, especially on weeknights and weekends. My cat lives the high life, as many of my friends and family would describe it. I care so deeply about animals of all varieties feeling safe, nurtured, and respected. I am also great with direction, so your standard of care for your pet will always be met and exceeded.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hornsby Bend
Soren always goes above and beyond when watching our cat (and cats when we had two). He is attentive to their needs and gives us updates on how they are doing. He notes any changes in their behavior and is willing to be flexible in finding the best way to make them comfortable. Soren has been our go-to sitter for a few years now and we always feel confident leaving pets in his care. He is responsive to messages, so if you have any issues/questions, or need to make changes to the booking, it's easy to hammer everything out quickly. My little diva of a cat has even warmed up to him, and that is a pretty impressive accomplishment.
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.
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.
