Still at a loss for how that stay was. We are in the minority, as we do see plenty of 5 star reviews, but we do care to share our experience, and maybe this was just a one-off. We booked Austin for a week, and only at our prompting to check in on our dog, Austin would reply with a message of all positivity for the first two days. On day 3, he quickly changed demeanor and suggested we needed to pick our dog up immediately because he was not cooperating with Austin. This was foreign to us, and it really inconvenienced us as we were hundreds of miles away. While we were trying to find someone to pick our dog up, he made several rude, unprofessional comments about our dog. He communicated we need to pick him up for our dog’s safety, which really stressed us out. When we did get a chance to pick him up, it became evident he had multiple other dogs there, unbeknownst to us. All in all, it was an experience we have yet to have and hope to never encounter again. We wish Austin the best in his pet-sitting, but this should not ever happen. Needless to say, we would not recommend.

Drop-In Visits • jul. 04, 2026

Awesome Sitter! Austin is top tier! From the pre-visit when he took time to get to know Benny before the schedule visits and how well they bonded, I was sure he would be the right choice. Austin helped reassure Neal and I about Benny care with photos and texts before, during and after each visit. This was something that had been lacking in previous pet care givers. I never had to worry and Austin quickly replied to any question of Benny’s care because this was Benny’s first Rover experience. Needless to say, we were not let down on any level of care. Thank you Austin. Now I truly know why you are so sought after in the pet care arena!

Austin was so wonderful with our dog, flexible to our schedule and communicative. Would use him again anytime we need care!
