Special needs (food, meds, etc) and being upfront and honest if your pet experiences separation anxiety or is high energy. We have experience administering meds and are very responsible for med schedules

We love to go for walks, throw the ball in the secure backyard, go to the park (with owners' permission) to Zilker/Auditorium Shores. If you have any special fun things you like to do with your pet, let us know and we'll try to accommodate!

Pet care experience

My wife and I have been dog sitting for multiple friends over the years and as Rover sitters since August 2020! We both love meeting new furry friends (and their owners) - we have 2 small dogs of our own. We do prefer to sit dogs with low to medium energy levels (to accommodate our elderly dog) and 2 years or older, but we can definitely make exceptions on age and energy level with a Meet & Greet.

5 stars! Our precious Theo was in the best hands all week. BJ and Dez were simply amazing. Strong communication before booking, they were eager to learn about our pups habits, lots of pics and updates daily. We will absolutely be reaching out next time we leave town. A+ experience.

BJ & his wife were great hosts to my Pug, Hank! Very easy to communicate and accommodated my very early drop off due to an early flight. I received pictures every day which I appreciate so much as this is our first time using Rover. They made Hank feel welcome and he got to play with the other dogs. He must’ve had a great time because this Pug is worn out Lol Would definitely book with them again!

BJ was awesome and always kept me up to date with photos and how Copper was feeling and getting along with the other pups. I’ll definitely be using him again on future bookings. Thank you so much for taking great care of Copper!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
