“Olivia did great with my puppy Dolce. She was very communicative and quick with her responses. Sent lots of photo updates and kept me in the loop the entire time. Would definitely recommend!”
“This was the first time we used a Rover for our pups and cat and Hollie was awesome! She over-communicated to ensure everything was going well at home and to reassure us. She went above and beyond for our animals and us. Thank you!”
“Eric is definitely my No.1 sitter choice! He was caring and followed all the instructions we left for him. He communicated throughout his visits. I would highly recommend Eric to watch your fur buddies!!!!”
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”
“This was our second time booking Sam, and once again, he was fantastic. He’s incredibly reliable and took great care of our dog, Roberta, while we were away for a quick weekend trip. I was especially nervous this time because our longtime dog, Noah, recently passed away, and this was Roberta’s first time being left alone. Sam was thoughtful and attentive—he sent lots of adorable photos that showed she was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of playtime. One thing that really stood out was that he left a kind little personal message on our doorbell camera before leaving. It was such a simple gesture but meant a lot. It showed us how much he genuinely cares. Sam treats our home and our pets with respect and kindness. He’s great with animals, communicates well, and gives us real peace of mind. We trust him completely, Roberta adores him, we look forward to the next time soon! Thank you again Sam! :)”
About: I’ve been the resident dog sitter in my friend group for the last decade. I typically stay in their homes so the animals can stay in their own comfortable environment! I love taking them on walks or just laying around the house together! Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I work from home so if I am sitting at yours, all I need is a WiFi connection and I can be present and attentive! I live in an apartment but have a schedule which allows for regular playtime and potty breaks! If I stay at your house you also may see some clean counters and organized fridge (bit of a tidy upper :))
“Kristin checked in on our cat while we were on vacation. Usually he hides when we are gone, but he came out and greeted her on a few occasions. Kristin's communication was excellent and she took good care of our cat. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
About: I have experience taking care of family, neighbors, and friends pets. This includes cats, dogs, exotic animals, fish, and farm animals. Your pet's well being is my first priority! I just finished up a veterinary assistant school program. I am preparing to move to college station in 2 months. In the meantime I am volunteering at animal rescues, serving my local cat population, and volunteering at a bat refuge. Even then, I have an excess amount of free time. When I am in a clients home I respect a pet's space by reading their body langauge. I honor their basic needs and make sure that they get some quality time and love. If a pet has any special needs I am more than happy to accommodate. I love to learn new things!
“This is the second time Alexandria has watched Callie and we would definitely recommend her! She is very flexible with dates, friendly, caring, and our kitty loves her! She has great communication and always leaves photos during her visits which we love. She is very attentive to pets and their needs and even stayed over her time on several occasions to make sure our kitty had what she needed!”
“I love having Claudia take care of my girls. She’s always quick to respond, and she time stamps her visits with the Rover report card with pictures. I can relax when I’m gone because I know all is well. Recently, she gave special care to my dog, both in taking care of her needs during the visits but also she paid attention and adjusted some timing for our now more complicated schedule.”
“Karen was great with our dog and cat, you can tell she has an animal lover’s soul! She took cute pictures for us when we were away and let us know if anything was going on with our babies. We knew we could have peace of mind with her and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
About: I like to treat all pups like people, with kindness and patience. This is their walk so I, for the most part, let them lead the way! I’m mainly there to make sure they’re safe but I always make sure they sniff all the smells at whatever pace they please or help them get some energy out. Please let me know if there is anything specific I can do to contribute as much as possible to their health and happiness <33 I will love your pups like my own and hopefully establish their trust in me while away from their parents. I just recently became a college graduate from the University of Texas in Austin (hook ‘em) and am back home in SATX for the summer! I am hoping to spend some time with your sweet pups as a bonus to enjoying my slow summer. I am a natural caretaker and fierce protector of my fuzzy friends so taking care of dogs is like an extension of myself <3 I have two large dogs at home who love running around, so I am used to the craziness. I make sure to keep any eye on them whenever they are outside and make sure they’re hydrated. I also am a firm believer in adapting to each pup’s personality and finding any way I can to make their experience feel fun and safe.
About: Raised with pets all my life, I've trained my own puppies with everyday commands while also having some senior care work with dogs and have raised two kittens! As of right now, I'm unavailable from 12pm-6pm but leaves plenty of time for morning check ins and walks and evening work including boarding pets. I totally open to boarding. I would preference only animals that don't have any aggression towards cats as my roommate has one living with us right now. Thank you for understanding
“Allison was great! I booked her very last minute, and she still made time to come over to do a greet and meet. She’s clearly a dog lover, and our pups instantly fell in love with her. And very affordable rates! 10/10 would rebook in the future!”
“We’ve used Sonia a couple of times now for our 4 cats and one guinea pig and she’s wonderful! I love that she sends us pictures of them. We’re so happy we have found someone we can trust to take care of our babies.”
“Ericka is the best cat sitter we have ever had. She is so attentive to our two kitties. She always gives through updates for each visit AND she always ensures their litter box is clean, which is such a relief for us. Highly recommend her!!!”
About: i’ve had fur babies my whole life, and they’ve always meant so much to me and feel like part of the family. i mainly grew up around a lot of cats haha but there’s always been dogs as well, my cat ashy i’ve had since i was 13 years old, he’s 8 years old now and he’s one of the best things to ever happen to me. i think of him as my son, and im not even exaggerating, i joke that he came out of my womb all the time! 2 years ago i adopted a puppy, a big ole great pyronees from a rescue program while i worked in doggy daycare and he’s absolutely wonderful, his name is merlin! he’s my other baby boy🩷 i’m a bit of a rambler, haha. but i have experience working professionally with dogs, i treat every dog as if they were my own and i love them all. i know everyone probably says that but one of my biggest beliefs is that animals are precious, they can’t have hatred or be mean, they’re just like us but filled with endless unconditional love and support. i can sense signs of mental health issues with animals such as anxiety and depression with their body language and other behaviors, i know how to look out for diseases such as bloat and kennel cough and what to do in those situations. im more informed of these things with dogs due to working in an all dog daycare, but having a cat of my own has taught me how to read body language of cats as well, and how to tell if they’re in any pain. i know how to treat minor wounds on dogs as well. my baby merlin before i adopted him was living with another dog who attacked him which left him with a wound on his wrist, and was not taken care of properly by his current foster parent. when i got him i made sure day after day and night after night that it was properly sterilized, and wrapped tight and checking in to make sure he wouldn’t chew off the bandage. this is just a (relatively long) glimpse into my experience with caring for animals! i’m currently unemployed so i have all the time you need! i’m hoping to work with pets professionally again but would be happy to do this full time if im able to. and if theres any changes in my schedule i will immediately update this and let you know as soon as possible so easy for you to have time to find another sitter if needed! i haven’t professionally pet sitted yet outside of the occasional pet sitting of my moms dog and cat, i was given a very complex schedule and instructions for them and did it happily! they needed their food a very certain way and i was able to achieve that even while being yelled at by a hungry kitty while making his breakfast and dinner. scheduled times to play and take out her dog, rosie, (my sister haha) and of course play times inbetween and lots and lots of cuddle sessions! i care for my pets in my own way too, i won’t be having client pets in my home due to having my own. i love playing with my ashy and merlin, merlin’s a little scared of ashy despite being 10x his size but they love to attempt to play despite their size difference until one of them gets a little annoyed haha.

“My dogs enjoyed their time with Ana for a drop in visit. Ana was on time for the visit and communicated well with me.She also sent pictures.I definitely will book with her again in the future.”
Oakdell pet parents share their Rover experiences
Was so patient with my anxious pup. She was able to gain her trust and successfully walk her. So communicative and a pleasure to speak to. I will be booking anytime I’m out of town and she’s available. She sent lots of pics and a sweet message when my dog finally allowed her to slip on the leash! 100/10 🤩🤩🤩
Karen was absolutely wonderful and I could not recommend her enough as a pet sitter! She cared for my anxious cat and really took her time to accommodate to her feeding schedule and encourage plenty of playtime. This was my first time leaving my cat with anyone for a week and Karen easily exceeded my expectations and calmed my nerves! She took her time to understand my cat and her quirks and even went out of her way to buy her treats. She also constantly updated me and sent many videos and pictures which I absolutely loved. I will most definitely be rebooking again with her in the future. My cat is safe, healthy, and happy, and it’s all thanks to Karen!😄
Jeremiah has been taking care of my baby girl (cat) for a few years now. I have full confidence in him. Even as she has grown older and needed to take medications, Jeremiah has adapted to her feeding schedule and made sure she gets her medicine. I am so grateful I found a sitter I can trust and rely on.
Brenda was an absolute professional when taking care of my pets. She was on time, caring and went above and beyond my expectations. We will 100% ask for her help in the future. She was wonderful. Thank you for taking care of our babies! It takes sooooo much pressure off of leaving them knowing someone so kind is caring for them.
