“Cristina was great! She came over a couple of times before hand for meet and greets with Penelope since she is skittish around new people. Penelope warmed up to her right away and we felt so comfortable leaving her with Cristina. We will definitely rebook in the future! Thank you 😊”
About: Hi! I’m Sydney 🙋🏻♀️ your local animal loving neighbor here in Lakeway! 🐶🐱 I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m here to make your fur baby feel safe, seen, and loved 💕 🐕🦺 Patient, gentle, and intuitive with all breeds & temperaments. ⏰ Always punctual and communicative. You’ll never have to wonder how your pet is doing. 📸 Cute photo updates every step of the way! Let’s set up a meet & greet! I’d love to get to know you & your pet 💛 Pet care is a regular and intentional part of my daily routine. I’ve structured my schedule specifically to allow time and flexibility for morning, midday, and evening pet visits. I’m available when pet parents need someone they can count on. When I’m in your home I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own, with patience, consistency, and love. I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s regular routine so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away.
About: I love walking and dogs, so walking dogs is the ultimate combination! I have trained my own dog, he knows a lot of tricks and doesn't pee or poop in the house! I currently am in school during the afternoon, but I would love to walk dogs in the morning or afternoon. Additionally I would love to play or take care of your dogs after school! I will follow their routine, provide food, water, playtime, walks, and love. I will prioritise their comfort, safety, cleanliness, and give regular updates to owners.
“Lucy was fantastic with the cats and did everything above and beyond! I had peace of mind while on a long trip that everyone was taken care of! She was perfect with communication and extremely reliable.”
“Nicole watched my kitties over the holidays. It was the second time she has pet sat for me. I will absolutely ask her to pet sit for me again! She is responsible, timely and provides great care! I felt comfortable and had peace of mind the entire time I was gone (5 days). Thanks Nicole!”
“Jenny is so easy to work with and great with our two dogs. I appreciate her flexibility to adjust to changing circumstances and schedules when it works for her. The dogs love it when she comes for drop ins!”
About: I have over a year of experience providing dependable in-home pet care, often staying at clients’ houses for several days at a time. I’m confident caring for multiple pets—I’ve frequently looked after two dogs at once—and have experience administering medications when needed. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I recently graduated from college and, while I search for a full-time job, I have wide availability and the flexibility to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. When staying in a client’s home, I make it a priority to maintain a clean and secure environment. I follow all pet routines closely, making sure they’re fed, exercised, and comforted just as they would be with you. I also take care to keep the home tidy—doing dishes, laundry, and any basic upkeep needed—so you can return to a space that’s just as you left it.
“Leigh is amazing with our 2 shy cats. Theyre always out and about when she visits. We also appreciate her thoroughness and willingness to give one of our cats daily oral medication. We highly recommend!!”
About: Hello! My name is Chris. I have a Miniature Poodle named Brody and he is my best friend. I also have about 15 + years of experience pet sitting for pets of friends and family (cats and dog). Duties include but are not limited to taking them for walks, playing with them, taking them to the park, and spoiling them with treats. I truly love taking care of animals and would love to have the opportunity to take care of yours if desired. Hope to hear from you! It’s so natural for me. For my own dog, I take him out and feed regularly and pay close attention to his needs - he’s very vocal. My home is not applicable, but I follow rules for any owner that they would like me to follow for their pet. I also base it off of their own needs too.
“Hilary was available for last minute drop ins and really saved my peace of mind for the weekend! She was quick to respond, showed up and kept me updated. Thanks so much to both Rover for an easy booking process and Hilary for being there for my boy while we were gone!”
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.
“Rebecca was excellent! This was our first time to use Rover and Rebecca eased our minds with updates, pictures, inquiries and videos! We trusted her with our most beloved pets, our home and we could not be more pleased! She is a part of our family now! Thank you Rebecca!”
“Cindy is amazing! Worked around a short term booking and came out to meet my dog beforehand to build that trust with the dog. Very much appreciate her work and flexibility! A great dog sitter/walker!”
“Tricia has been so amazing taking care of our pups! This was the first time we’ve left all three in someone else’s care and couldn’t have been more appreciative of the communication and love they received! Will definitely use Tricia again in the future!”
About: I’m new to rover but I’ve been petsitting on other websites and have great reviews I can share :) I have always been a cat lover. I’ve almost always had a cat living with me, and when I don’t I do Petsitting or visit cat cafes. Cats are magical angels here to comfort us all. More recently I love dogs too! I’ve been sitting dogs the past 2 years and have come to understand them better. Sometimes larger dogs can be a lot for me to handle, but I’m stronger than I look ;) I also love to take photos, and chances are, if I'm sitting or walking for you, you'll end up with some beautiful photos of your pets :) Let me know if you're interested in having photo check ins! I am a freelancer and don’t work 40 hours most weeks. I have a flexible schedule and I love getting outside and spending time with animals during the day. Pets are a part of the family so I make sure they’re happiest however I can do that. I’m pretty tidy on my own so I don’t mind doing clean up or organizing if you desire. I take care of plants too :)

Sydney C.
“She is super attentive to my dogs. Once she got familiar with my dogs, she was able to pick up if they were having behavioral changes or habits changes I should be concerned about. I appreciate her communicating often and never shy about asking questions.”
Rebha A.
“I have known Rebha for seven years and throughout those seven years, have seen her grow and mature as a person. Rebha has always been very caring and responsible. Rebha has a dog herself and is very reliant when it comes to taking care of her dog. There have been times when she has to cut a hangout short because she has to go feed her dog and take him on a walk. As a UT Austin student with Rebha, I notice how responsible she is when it comes to studying for tests and getting assignments done; she never misses deadlines. Overall, Rebha would be a great fit as a pet caretaker for Rover!”

Taryn H.Star Sitter
“We have used Taryn numerous times to watch our dog and she does a tremendous job and shows a sincere love of animals. Highly recommend her services.”
Maggie S.
“Maggie S. is the perfect choice for a pet sitter. Maggie was trust worthy, caring, and really connected with my dogs. I was lucky to have Maggie stay at my home with my dogs several times and came home to happy dogs and a tidy house! Maggie also did dog walking for me and I couldn’t give her higher marks! We miss Maggie since she moved but our loss is your gain.”

Christine J.
“Christine is very bright, outgoing, and easy-to-love! Her love for all animals, especially dogs, is infinite. I let her babysit my German Shepherd/Husky all the time, and not once do I have to worry. She takes time to try to bond with the dog or animal, she’s very patient and observant, and her quick protective instincts leave me feeling at-ease about leaving my fur baby. I highly recommend using Christine! Your pet will be in great hands with someone who will take care of them at all costs. Use Christine!!”
