About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from 6lb lap dogs to 130lb gentle giants, so I’m completely comfortable with any size or breed. I know that big dogs and small dogs have very different needs, and I adjust my care accordingly. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know their dogs are in good hands. I make sure all fur babies are well-fed, exercised, and genuinely loved while their parents are away. I work a flexible schedule, so pets in my care always have someone around. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Dogs won’t be left alone for long stretches. Walks, playtime, and attention are built into every day! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I keep my space clean, secure, and pet-friendly. I’ll follow your routines, feeding schedules, crate preferences, medications, whatever your dog needs to feel comfortable in my home or yours. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing!
“I can't recommend booking Brenda enough! I felt completely comfortable leaving my boys (🐶🐶) in Brenda’s care. She is kind, communicative, and clearly loves animals. My boys were not only looked after, but treated with genuine love and attention. Brenda sent me regular updates and photos that gave me a complete peace of mind while I was away, and I could tell my boys were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I'll definitely be booking with her again because my boys love her. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly passionate about animals, Brenda is the pet sitter to choose. Thanks Brenda for loving my boys!”
“Willow was fantastic! Both of my kitties immediately liked her and felt comfortable with her! That’s really all I can ask for but she also followed my feeding instructions to a T, and was very respectful of my space- even cleaned their food bowls for me before she left on her last visit! I will definitely be a repeat client 😄”
About: My sweet rescue pups and I would love to play and spend time with your friendly dog while you're away. We have a nice, secure backyard with plenty of space to run around, sunbathe and bunny watch during the day and a comfy couch or bed for cuddling, belly rubs and puppy sleepovers. No breed, age or size restrictions -- all dogs are welcome! I work from home so your baby will rarely be alone. I have years of dog sitting and fostering experience, and my fur kids get along with virtually everyone and every dog. If your pup is friendly, too, whether active or lazy, young or old, big or small, we would love to spend some time together. *I do require a Meet-and-Greet for our dogs if I have not watched your pup previously. Please send me suggested times to meet prior to booking. Holiday rates may be higher. Caring for my three dogs is a daily labor of love. They each get their breakfasts and dinners along with a few supplements and treats everyday. I am happy to follow your instructions for your pet(s) to ensure as little disruption as possible to your routine. I will care for your pets I according to your requests and their needs. Potty breaks, walks, feeding, watering, medication as needed, love and attention, treats and other care as instructed.
“Grant did a great job! He stopped by my place to walk my dogs. My one and half year old pit mix Luna has a ton of energy and he didn’t have any issues with her. I would totally use him again if he’s available.”
About: Hi! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I’ve grown up around pets and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m great with routines and can follow any specific instructions you have—because I know every pet is different. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re gone. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, with time built in for play, feeding, and companionship. I do my best to stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a yard, but I make sure pets get plenty of outdoor time through regular walks and supervised potty breaks. Safety is my top priority—I always keep dogs on a leash outside and stay aware of our surroundings. Inside, pets have a calm, secure space to relax, and I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and any special needs. I’m committed to creating a safe, comfortable environment where your pet feels at home.
“Reuben was amazing! He was extremely responsive, punctual and took great care of our dogs. We have a very active and needy blue heeler. He is very hesitant of new people so Reuben came by and met the dogs prior to his stay so he wasn't a stranger, and they seemed to warm up to him quickly and he took great care of them. We will be using Reuben for all of our future dog sitting needs whether its a drop in or house sitting. I was very impressed with the quick replies, updates, and how punctual he was. It was easy to schedule with him and trust him throughout the entire process. He exercised the dogs and played with them while also keeping the house clean and tidy. Highly recommend!”
About: I've taken care of animals for over 12 years and have volunteered countless hours at the shelter. I currently do not have a pet but I offer my services to friends and family regularly. I am free to make my own schedule since I am self employed. If your pet has any special needs I will do my best to take care of them like they are part of my family and make them feel like they are at their home. I live in a fenced apartment complex with a dog park so I will take your dogs out frequently to enjoy the outside. I am a few minutes from the city's dog park and there are multiple trails in my surrounding area that we will go to. I can visit your pets at your home and make sure they are all doing well. I will do my best to make them feel as comfortable as possible and make them feel they are not left alone.
“Erika was amazing! She was incredibly easy to work with, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. She even took the time to clarify things I hadn’t necessarily thought to ask about, which I really appreciated. She took care of my dogs for three days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of my dogs can be a bit difficult with new people, and Erika definitely got to experience that firsthand! However, it only took about a day for my dog to warm up to her, which I think speaks volumes about Erika’s patience, experience, and ability to make animals feel comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish. I would 100% book with Erika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, patient, and caring dog sitter!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was not disappointed. Genevieve was extremely responsive. She let me know when she would be making her drop-ins and she stuck to those times. She gave me detailed summaries including photos of each visit with my dog Blue. She even played him and that wasn't a requirement. I really appreciated that. My place was in the same state I left it in, nothing out of place (which was a concern when I first signed up for Rover). I would highly recommend Genevieve to take care of your fur baby. She put my mind at ease.”
“Madilynn did a great job taking care of our two cats! We had an unexpected emergency and Madilynn was able to update us daily with notes and pictures of how our cats were doing. We highly recommend her!”
“Kristina was awesome and went above and beyond! She cared for each of my dogs individually, one is very elderly and the other very energetic. She provided thoughtful updates and cute pics. Will definitely be calling her again!”
“Hella did such an amazing job with my sweet baby Peach! It was my first time using Rover so admittedly I was nervous, but Hella put my mind at ease with her check ins and photos. Peach absolutely loves her and I will definitely be booking again!”
About: Growing up I was always volunteering at pet adoption events and I loved every time my parents would let me foster animals. Even after we adopted our own I’d look after the neighborhood dogs when they’d escape their backyards or if their parents just needed a break, so I’m happy to return to my roots! I currently work remotely so I am very open! It’s non-phone so I can move around with ease whenever needed so last-minute bookings are welcomed in my book. In my own home I am treating the pets. I’m watching as my own. I am spending time with them. We’re playing if they’re willing they’re going to eat well stretch their legs have a whole bunch of pep in their paws so that they sleep well throughout the night, hopefully without feeling any kind of discomfort or angst because of being in a new space and missing their family. It’s virtually the same minus that tail end bit when it comes to being in my clients home; I am very respectful of the rules and customs that people have within their spaces so as long as I know what you’re expecting of me, I can very very easily meet the mark.
About: I’ve had experience pet sitting as well as pet owning. I’ve also done a microchip and tagging clinic at the Austin Animal Center. I have two dogs of my own - 8 and 16 - so I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages. I have full time classes during the week, but I am free Friday Saturday Sunday for house sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins! If you have more questions about my schedule or anything else, feel free to reach out :) I make sure to put equal time and care into every pet I work with. I have great attention to detail, a compassionate gentle demeanor, and a love for all animals. I always take pride in providing the best pet care I can.
“Grace is incredible! This was the first time we used the service, and we were a little worried about trusting someone with our cats. Our situation is a little complicated, but she came over before the sitting started and went over everything with us and wasn't worried at all. She is a quick communicator and cares very much about doing a great job. Grace is the best!”

So impressed with Alex and it’s only been one visit so far! We instantly booked him for our wedding weekend and we feel so comfortable leaving our Finn with him. Finn is getting older in age, is a little anxious, not great with other dogs and Alex is extremely professional and knows how to navigate Finn’s quirks, while keeping us informed and checking in! Highly highly recommend Alex :)
Landry was incredible. Every day and every visit went perfect. She arrived on time and stuck around longer than needed. She also reached out with a concern on older dog and offered an extra visit. I would recommend her to anyone over anything sitter I have used on the app.
Again Erin made my pup's day by dropping in on them when I had a long day out of the house planned. She allowed me to slide the schedule a little bit which really helped. This made her visit line up with dinner time and I'm sure the girls love it. Thanks again Erin.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mountain City choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
