“Wren was responsive during the booking process, and came to our place to meet the pups to ensure it was a great fit. Our dogs seemed happy and comfortable during her stay. She sent pics which we always appreciate. Additionally, she left our home cleaner than when she arrived (which was not expected or necessary!). Overall, it was a really positive experience, and I would rebook in the future.”

About: Experienced in caring for cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Hands-on experience with my own pets as well as family and friends. This is what I do full-time and therefore I am very flexible with helping where and how I am needed with your furry family member. I take my dog for a walk, make sure there is plenty of fresh water, take out for frequent potty breaks and clean up after.
“Jorden did a great job with my senior dog! She followed all his special food instructions and walking schedules! He is 15 years old and pretty active but he has gotten snippy in his old age. I was worried she wouldn't want to sit with him. She answered my call right away and came for a meet and greet and said '"yes" to sitting with him. I was thrilled. I could tell once I met her that I would not have to worry about my grumpy old man dog when I was gone. Thank you Jorden!!”

“Payton is a responsible, professional and dedicated professional. She had consistently taken great care of our dogs, and our home. When she stays with our dogs, I don’t worry about anything. I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is!”

“Tabbatha watched our two dogs for two weeks in our home and she was truly amazing! It was clear that she really cared about our dogs and she went above and beyond for them, including sending lots of pictures of how they were doing! She was also flexible enough to stay an extra night when we had unexpected travel issues. Overall, we highly recommend Tabbatha!”

“It's always a challenge finding someone to stay in my home that I can fully trust to not only care for my animals, but also respect my property and belongings. Paige took ALL those worries away and we are so extremely grateful to have found her! She is responsible, clean, and most importantly - Caring, loving and kind. She immediately bonded with my dogs upon arrival, sent daily updates of what they were up to and left a clean house for us to come home to after a long day of traveling. If you want to take a vacation and not have to stress over who's taking care of your life - Paige is your girl!”

About: I have never boarded my own dog because he is the most spoiled dog in the world and he loves the comfort of his own home! I believe all fur babies should have the same comfort! I also have walked my dog every day for the past 10 years! Puppies need daily exercise and play! I enjoy walking and being outside. I currently do not work and my kiddos are now in school full time! I love dogs and cats, as well as helping others, so I figured this was a great fit! I can be available after the kids go to school, until the time they come home. I would prefer drop in visits and dog walking. I don’t plan to care for dogs in my own home, but I will care for your pets as if they were my own. Also, I would follow any instructions you give.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve had several types of dogs in my life, from tiny 3 lb ankle biters to a 250 lb mastiff, so I’m comfortable around both small and large dogs. I also adopted and cared for an orange cat for 2 years, which gave me experience with cat routines, litter care, playtime, and respecting a cat’s space. My personal sidekick was Growlithe, my mini schnauzer of 14 years. He was way too smart for his own good and taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and how unique every pet’s personality can be. What sets me apart is that I care for pets with real attention, not just basic check-ins. I pay attention to their routine, comfort level, behavior, and safety so they feel secure while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m used to being responsible for animals and adjusting my day around their needs. I have experience caring for dogs, a cat, and freshwater aquariums, so feeding schedules, cleaning, playtime, walks, and check-ins are all things I’m comfortable managing. I do my best to keep pets on the routine they already know, whether that means morning walks, evening feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or quiet company. I understand pets feel more comfortable when their schedule stays consistent, so I follow owner instructions closely and communicate clearly if anything comes up. My goal is to make pet care feel dependable, calm, and stress-free for both the pet and the owner. I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for their normal routine. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is safe, calm, and comfortable before anything else. I pay close attention to doors, gates, food, water, leash safety, and any instructions the owner provides. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I do my best to match their comfort level. Some pets need playtime and activity, while others need space, quiet, and gentle attention. I always follow feeding instructions, medication notes, potty schedules, and house rules carefully. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep things clean, secure, and organized, and I make sure pets feel safe in their familiar environment. I also believe communication builds trust, so I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and notes so owners know their pets are being cared for properly.
About: Hi my name is Hunter, and I’m here to watch your precious pets :) I have grown up with animals my whole life, I have a dog of my own, and when I was 18 I worked at a doggy daycare. I plan on getting my dog training certificate and becoming a certified dog trainer! I currently have no job, and will be free to watch your pets any time, and don’t plan on working another full time job for a while, so I should be free whenever :) I can take your pet on walks, of course feed them, you may catch me and them becoming best friends, and I’ll make sure your pets have the best time of their life!
“My goodness! Not enough good things to say. I believe my boy Zen was happier when I came home than even before I left! Greats has a way with dogs and showed our boy so much love. Thankful for this wonderful soul!”

“Stephanie is AMAZING! Super professional and our pets love her so much. She regularly provides updates with pictures and the house is always in such good shape when we come back. Highly reccomend”

“Anastasia was a dream dog sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our young puppy was well cared for. She stayed in consistent communication and we were at ease knowing Mochi was in great hands. She left the house extremely clean. She even stayed longer than planned due to a big winter storm that pushed our flights back. We could not recommend Anastasia enough.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently help take care of my roommate’s pit mix while she’s at work, making sure she gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’ve also grown up with Labrador Retrievers my whole life, so being around energetic, loving dogs has always been second nature to me. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping pets company, I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I always aim to make both pets and owners feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free! I am currently free anytime Monday through Thursday to take care of any pets! Just let me know at least a few hours in advance and I will be more than happy to help! I have a dog park that I love to take my roommates dog to, and live in a very walkable neighborhood! I am also very respectful of my clients space and home. I would be happy to walk, feed, and play with pets according to schedule!
About: I have always loved all animals. I'm my twenties I volunteered at the National Zoo helping to feed and clean habitats for reptiles and invertebrates. I grew up with all kinds of pets: dogs, gerbils, guinea pigs, anoles, guppies and corn snakes. Once I was on my own I had cats (my sibling is highly allergic). Currently my dog is with my husband on the west coast so I'm looking for pets that need someone to play with them while their humans are away. I work part time in edlercare during the week so I won't leave your babies alone for long periods of time. They can stay in their home with their same routine and a new friend with which to play. I am good at giving medications as my first job was in an animal hospital. I worked in the kennels, but would care for the animals in the hospital side on the weekends. Therefore, I have given insulin shots as well as oral medications to many dogs and cats in a hospital and boarding environment as well as my own pets over the years. I work part time in eldercare during the week usually sometime between 10a and 6:30p. But my hours are flexible and my employer is happy to adjust to accommodate any of your pets needs. I only offer petsitting in your home at this time. I am a responsible 52 year old adult. I am clean and considerate. I make every effort to leave your house exactly as I find it. I want you to come back to a clean home ready for you to get back to your normal routine with no issues.
About: I grew up on a farm and have been an animal lover my whole life. My parents called me the dog whisperer growing up because I was the only one our dogs would listen to. We had cats also, as well as horses, cows, pigs, even a donkey. I look forward to being your fill in parent to your fur baby when you are away! I work from home and will be with your fur baby most of the day for in home pet sitting. With to my work from home schedule, I have flexibility to fill your individual needs. I have a large fenced yard for your pups to frolic if you want pet sitting at my home. If at your home, I will meticulously follow your instructions for your pet's care.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life—dogs, cats, birds, a snake, a bearded dragon, a turtle, hamsters… you name it! These days, I share my home with dogs, chickens, and some very vocal guinea fowl. As a freelance illustrator, I have the flexibility to give your pets the attention and love they deserve. I’ve even illustrated two books featuring a dog and a cat, so animals aren’t just in my life—they’re in my art! I’m comfortable caring for pets who need daily medication, too. My own dog had epilepsy, so I understand how important it is to follow routines and give meds with care and calm. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a snuggle buddy, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help—and excited to meet them! My schedule is super flexible! I work from home as an illustrator, so I’m around most of the day—perfect for keeping your pets company. On weekdays, I just step out briefly to pick up my son from the bus stop. My own pets are well cared for by my family while I focus fully on yours, whether that means daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. Your pet’s safety is everything to me. I live on a 1-acre property with a fenced yard and a doggy door for easy access—perfect for pets who are comfortable roaming close. For those who need more supervision, I’m always nearby to ensure they’re safe and happy. I’m extremely protective of animals and will go above and beyond to keep them safe (I’ve even removed a rat snake from my chicken coop—your pet is in good hands!). I’ve rescued lost dogs and helped reunite them with their families, and once even saved a duck with a fishing hook stuck in it. I’m patient with every pet, from wild little wigglers to slow-moving seniors. Whether they need gentle care or a bit of extra attention, I’ll treat them like my own—with love, calm, and total dedication.

“Pam was amazing! She kept up with all of my senior cat’s medications and gave him all the attention he craved. She took such good care of him that I could focus on my daughter’s wedding, knowing I didn’t have to worry about him. It was such a comfort knowing he was in good hands!”
“Rebecca is fabulous. I live in a Senior Living facility and everyone here loves Rebecca. She is so good with Charlotte and she sends me so many cute photos. Would highly recommend her🐶🐾”

Lakeway pet parents share their Rover experiences
Paige was outstanding. Highly recommend her. This was our first time leaving the pups with someone other than a family member and doing so at our own home but Paige was professional and made the entire process smooth and seamless. She exceeded our expectations by her accessibility and communication while we were away (sending cute pics daily and putting our minds at ease), and went above and beyond to tidy up the house before she left, which was unnecessary but so appreciated. Thank you so much, Paige.

Wren was responsive during the booking process, and came to our place to meet the pups to ensure it was a great fit. Our dogs seemed happy and comfortable during her stay. She sent pics which we always appreciate. Additionally, she left our home cleaner than when she arrived (which was not expected or necessary!). Overall, it was a really positive experience, and I would rebook in the future.

We had a fantastic experience with Chris as our pet sitter! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Her communication was excellent — she kept us updated and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our flight was delayed coming home, and Chris was so flexible and accommodating, which we truly appreciated. It made a stressful travel day so much easier knowing our pets were in such good hands. We came home to happy, healthy pets and everything in great shape. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We will absolutely be hiring Chris again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!

I have never seen my crazy dog so calm around a person. She clued in quickly that Thomas had treats. We were very nervous leaving our house full of pets for a week, but all was well when we returned. He sent us lots of texts with photos and the house was very clean when we returned. Definitely recommended!!

Tabbatha watched our two dogs for two weeks in our home and she was truly amazing! It was clear that she really cared about our dogs and she went above and beyond for them, including sending lots of pictures of how they were doing! She was also flexible enough to stay an extra night when we had unexpected travel issues. Overall, we highly recommend Tabbatha!

We could not have asked for a better person to stay at our home and care for our “kids”. Bella and Opie were both so comfortable with Robin from first visit. We received daily pictures and videos of them and could see they were very happy and being taken care of. Not only did Robin care for our pets as her own, she also cared for our home as her own. There were so issues with our AC unit and she handled it, including having a repair technician come in. Cannot recommend her enough and we will 100% be using her again in the future!!

Aaliyah exceeded all expectations. She followed every instruction carefully, went above and beyond in caring for my dog, and provided consistent communication throughout her stay. I felt completely confident knowing my pets were in her attentive and capable hands. Highly recommend her services.

Rebecca was great. Despite having very short notice, she replied and arranged a meet and greet that occurred within a few hours of me contacting her. She was very communicative and asked a lot of questions and took detailed notes on what my pups needed for their routines. She stayed over at my house for 2 nights while I was out of town, sending pictures and videos frequently and showering my pups with attention. I would highly recommend you consider Rebecca for your pet sitting needs!

Payton was our first overnight dog and house sitter and she exceeded all of our expectations and more. She watched over our 11 week old puppy Benny (who needs a lot of love, playtime, and potty breaks when he’s not napping) for 3 days while we went out of town for a wedding. We were very nervous to leave him for the first time and she made us feel very happy and comfortable with our decision by sending us several 3 to 4 updates per day, lots of photos, and we could clearly see our boy very happy and playful with her. She also tidied up after herself and left the house very clean which I appreciate after a trip. She clearly loves animals and followed our instructions perfectly

Ileana was wonderful! She watched my cats while I was out of town and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was communicative, reliable, and clearly very caring. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. The cats took to her right away, and it was obvious they were in great hands. I highly recommend Ileana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind pet sitter!
