“Lillian did an amazing job with our dog, Brimsley! She was communicative, caring, and made sure he was happy and well taken care of. We could tell he felt comfortable and loved while we were away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”


“Misha was very reliable, friendly, accommodated the special needs of my cats and myself, and was a great pet sitter!! I will definitely ask him to sit again!!!”


“Caitlyn has been a great sitter for my cat, and I very much appreciate her reliability. I have worked with Caitlyn several times already, and I would have no reservations of doing so again in the future.”


“Arantxa always goes above expectations, she’s set such a high standard it’s such a bummer when I can’t book her. She sends the best photos and updates and that are so adorable and funny. She’ll bring in packages, tell you if something is wrong or out of the ordinary at home, and help out in so many ways with pet care and more. She’s so reliable and trustworthy I am always at ease knowing she is caring for my pets. She’s so reliable genuinely loves animals, the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!!”


“I recently had the pleasure of booking Anthony as a dog sitter for my two pups, Shiloh and Noël, through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Anthony was absolutely fantastic—professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. He took the time to understand Shiloh and Noël’s unique personalities and needs, ensuring they were comfortable and happy while I was away. Anthony kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. The dogs were clearly having a blast on their walks, and it was obvious they were getting plenty of love and attention. When I returned, Shiloh and Noël were relaxed, well-cared-for, and their tails were wagging like crazy! I highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter. He went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking him again. Thank you, Anthony, for taking such great care of my furry babies!”


“Kirren was absolutely wonderful! For the first time in years, I was able to go on vacation without feeling anxious about leaving my cat behind. My cat needs a lot of attention and twice-daily medication, so finding someone trustworthy was essential. Kirren went above and beyond—providing extra care, attention, and thoughtful updates that truly put me at ease. She was incredibly communicative, and to my surprise, my cat instantly took to her—something that’s never happened with a stranger before. I can’t recommend her enough!”


“I never had to worry about the kitties while we were on vacation. Nevaeh went above and beyond when one of the cats was being super sneaky and she was able to capture him on camera for us to ensure he was in the house (he's really good at hiding). We will definitely be booking with her for future trips!”


“Brandy was great with my cat Rudy while I was abroad. She took care of all of his needs and was super handy and helped readjust his water fountain, food dispenser, and even my camera when he knocked them down. She’s been really fantastic, especially seeing as Rudy was a little skittish and shy at first, but she took the time to get him to be comfortable around her. Thanks Brandy for your help!”


“My kitties were well taken care of! I’ve never left my cats alone before and was a little nervous about doing so, but immediately felt better every time I would receive pictures and videos of them. Aniela was very communicative which I really appreciated and she did a great job! Thanks again!”


“Tori was happy to help when I needed a last minute rover for the week and was wonderful to work with. She communicates well, is prompt with time, and was so accommodating when I unexpectedly got injured and needed to cancel a few visits. I highly recommend Tori for any pet parents!”


“Eunice was awesome during her visit with my pup. Communication during was quick. She was also wonderful with communication during her visit. I would highly recommend her and use her again!”


About: I am an avid dog lover, owner, and trainer! I have raised and trained a mixed malti-shi named Gucci since he was 3 months old and he’s now 13 years old. I can walk your dog with flexibility as I work from home. I reply very quickly to texts, as well as calls. Also, I promise to care for your baby, as I have for mine, and I can't wait to meet them! I currently work 100% remotely, so can be very flexible with schedule. Happy to adjust my schedule throughout the day according to your dog’s needs! I have a 900 square foot apartment in downtown Austin right now. We live right next to the river and walking trail, and love to go on walks daily!

“Morgan is great! She made my cat feel so comfortable, safe, and cozy. I’m so grateful to have found a sitter I trust that is great with my fur baby. Will be using her for all future rover bookings.”
