“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lizzie. She is kind considerate intelligent and more. She communicated with us often and sent pictures which were welcome. Our dog Riley is still looking around the house for her after us being gone for only three days. I sure hope she’s available the next time we go out of town.”


5. Grace V.

“Grace took care of my dog, Penny, while I was visiting Austin for a wedding. Penny has separation anxiety and I needed someone to take care of her at the hotel room. This was our first experience with Rover and it was great! Grace was very kind and attentive, she provided me with frequent updates and pictures. Penny had a great time and I was able to enjoy the event knowing that she was being taken care of.”

“Lee was amazing. She instantly made me feel at ease to have her take care of my Marley girl which I couldn’t appreciate more! She sent all of the updates a dog mom’s heart desires and Marley had such a good energy when I arrived I could tell she was well taken care of and that’s all we could ever want ♥️ Lee also left the house very well taken care of exactly as we left it! So happy we found Lee and to work with her again in the future!”


10. Sierra N.

“Sierra was lovely!!!!! I couldn’t have asked for a gentler sitter with positive energy. She kept my little guy company all day and made sure to get walks in and send photo updates. She was also super flexible with some key logistics and slight last-minute changes. I would recommend her to anyone and definitely plan to use her in the future.”


11. Fern C.
“Fern has been super reliable, and has great rates. I have to travel for work a lot, and finding good sitters on here was hit or miss until I found her. My dog is pampered and my house looks cleaner than I left it when I come back. I will continue to rely on her every time.”


12. Misha Z.

“Misha was incredible! He communicated so well, took both my dogs on their daily separate walks, and sent a ton of pictures. My dogs normally seem anxious when I get home from being out of town but they seemed so chill & I could tell they got plenty of attention and activity while I was gone. I will definitely be requesting to book with him again next time I need a sitter or drop in visits!”


13. Luna G.

“Luna was absolutely wonderful! have two older animals (dog and cat) both whom have very detailed instructions for their routine throughout the day and Luna did not miss a beat. She house sat for me for several days and left my house in better condition than what I left it. Will definitely use her services again and can’t recommend her enough”

My dog loves her and is always excited to see her. Luciana goes the extra mile to ensure that my dog is comfortable and happy during the walk. She always keeps me updated with pictures and notes about my dog's behavior. I highly recommend Luciana to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker. She is simply the best!”


18. Kimberly H.

“Kim was AMAZING with our brand new rescue dog, Poof. I had foundPoof on the side of the road a week prior and we had the leave town for a wedding, not ideal with a new and unknown dog. Kim was incredible with him taking him on multiple walks a day and making sure he felt safe and love!! Plus Kim cleaned up the house before leaving and stayed late since we had a late flight. Kim is an incredible sitter!!”


19. Jaynell N.

“Jaynell was amazing. She was so sweet with our pup Annie. Jaynell kept us updated throughout our time away with lots of pictures, and we could tell Annie was well taken care of! When our flight got canceled unexpectedly, Jaynell even offered to go back over to the house and continue taking care of Annie -- truly above and beyond. We hope to have Jaynell take care of Annie again!”


20. Alexandrea S.

“Would highly recommend booking with Lexi! My dog has separation anxiety and she hung out with Scout longer than planned to make sure he wasn’t super anxious by himself. Lexi also showed up early and was super communicative the whole time. Thank you!”
