About: Growing up I help take care of just about every indoor pet you can think of. Taking the time to make an animal feel safe is my specialty. My favorite way to spend time with pets is outdoor training and desensitizing 🙌 I work part time and am generally flexible for hours during the week. I am especially available for early morning and daytime visits M-F. Weekends I’m happy to do overnights and potty breaks every couple hours. Happy to be the disciplinarian or the fun playtime aunt! However your pet feels safe I will accommodate and take as much time as needed to provide for them in your home.
About: I've cared for cats of all ages and for multiple cats at the same time. I've cared for cats with strict dietary needs and am well-versed/experienced with administering medication(s) as required. Having a cat myself, I also understand the importance of play, company, and stimulus that they need to thrive. My primary job provides me with the flexibilty needed to be on Rover and care for animals which is something I immensely enjoy. I prefer not staying static...so any opportunity to help others is a major plus. In my home, the litter is scooped daily. My cat has dietary restrictions that I adhere to strictly... and access to an enclosed catio to keep her from getting bored with access to fresh air and sunshine. Prior to his passing, I took my German shepherd along on just about every hike/jog/walk with me.
“Caris is so lovely and took wonderful care of our two sweet cats. We have a very shy cat and she really took her time to get know her which is a huge win for us. Caris sent great pictures and was very communicative. Am already rebooking her for our remaining summer trips!”
About: I'm a full-time professional with fairly flexible work hours. I have two dogs, a happy, healthy 12 yr old Plott-hound mix, Ollie, and a happy, energetic and loving 2 yr old husky-shepherd mix, Bella., I've watched and cared for dozens of other dogs (friends, family, etc.) over the last 15 years and am generally known as a bit of a 'dog whisperer'. I absolutely love dogs and look forward to taking exceptional care of your pet when you need to leave them in somebody else's care. Ollie, Bella, and I walk for ~4 miles every day around the neighborhood, go to dog friendly parks/fields in my neighborhood, and walks in the woods where they can run off leash. As highlighted in the pictures, Ollie and Bella readily get along with a wide variety of dogs as a walking buddy, a sleeping buddy, or a running-around-a-field buddy. If you leave your dog with us, your dog will have new canine friends, get lots of fun neighborhood walks, and have friends to cuddle up with on the couch / in their dog bed after a long-day of walking, eating, and sleeping :). I typically do two long walks each day (one between ~7-9 AM, the other sometime between 5-7 PM). Will also do a short mid-day walk and/or a short pre-bedtime walk as needed! While Ollie and Bella were crate trained as puppies, at this point they roams freely throughout the house. That said, I'm happy to host crate-trained dogs, and more than comfortable allowing your (trained!) dog to roam free throughout my home much like my pups.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs for the past five years. I am comfortable with dogs of any size. I have experience working with cats & dogs of all ages and am comfortable giving them medications. I volunteer with Lucky Dogs currently as a dog handler at events. Additionally, I volunteered for the Williamson County Animal Shelter through high school and undergrad, walking dogs as well as socializing and providing enrichment for cats. I have ample experience with stray/spicy kitties! I currently have a very flexible hybrid job and attend night university classes three days a week. Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends are my most open days of the week. I am pretty flexible and want your dog or cat to be as comfortable as possible :). If I am not staying at the home, I can stop by a minimum of three times a day. Once between 8am to 9am, once between 12pm and 1pm, and once after 4pm (can vary times as needed). During the evenings, I can stay longer to allow your pet(s) more playtime and/or be taken for a walk. My schedule is pretty flexible! *CONSTANT CARE POLICY FOR HOUSESITTING MORE THAN 24 HOURS* *this policy does not apply to drop-ins or housesitting for less than 24 hours* *constant care is a premium service and will not apply to all bookings* If your pet has a medical or non-medical reason(s) for which they require constant care, the sitter maintains the right to modify the house-sitting request rate to reflect the change in care up to an additional $50 per night per animal requiring constant care. Additional pets that do not require constant care will reflect the normal Additional Pet rate (found in services tab). Constant Care is a premium service designed for pets that cannot be left alone for medical or non-medical reasons. This includes animals who have accidents overnight or if the sitter leaves for more than 4 hours for the duration of the booking dates. Services include but are not limited to oral medication administration, assisted movement, assisted feedings, comfort, and companionship needs. Other requirements can be discussed before confirming/payment is made. I currently have a very flexible hybrid job and take night classes three times a week. I can customize and work with whatever your pet's needs may be! In the client's home, I am happy to do whatever your pet needs to keep with their routine! I am also an avid crocheter, so if your pet loves a snuggle buddy or someone in the house to hang out with, I am more than happy to be that!
“Jackie took great care of our two kitties! We loved the photos of them rolling for her. We know that they were comfortable with her and we appreciate her great care of them! We will book with her again. ❤️”
“Patricia went above and beyond with taking care of my pets! She not only followed my specific instructions provided to the tee, but she also helped with some additional tasks that I didn’t even directly request just to ensure that my cats stayed clean, healthy, and happy! I was so delighted with her service and how quick she was with responding to me. I will definitely be booking her again in the future and i definitely recommend her to those who want to ensure a caring individual is looking after their pets.”
“We had to book Danielle last minute when our normal sitter could not do it. Danielle was amazing with Buffy and spent time with her while we were away. Will definitely book again!”
“Catherine was a great cat sitter. I have an older cat who has been experiencing a decline in health due to old age, and I was nervous to leave him for a week. Catherine provided me with a peace of mind by sending daily updates with plenty of photos. I would definitely have her watch my pet again.”
“Nicholas is the BEST cat sitter I have ever found for my cat Aries. My cat has a big personality and loves attention. Nicholas gives him all the love and affection while also making sure to maintain the food and litter while I am away. He is also on a prescription diet and Nicholas follows the important feeding schedule perfectly. It gives me such great peace of mind knowing my little talkative fluff ball is being so well taken care of. Thank you!”
“Erin was great! We changed our schedule around a little last minute and she was very accommodating. She sent updates and pictures and tuckered out our little pup. We will definitely reach out to Erin again :)”
“Anthony was a phenomenal dog sitter. We needed a reservation with little notice because another sitter backed out on us, and he made sure to make it work, and even came to meet the dogs prior to the first pop in visit. He took care of our dogs' needs in every way we could expect. He kept us informed with any questions or needs. Honestly, he is the best sitter that we have ever had on Rover, and we truly hope that we can book him again in the future! 6/5 stars hands down!”
“Alexander took really great care of our cat. He spent time playing with her and followed our instructions perfectly. He was easy to communicate with and sent several sweet pictures of her each visit. Sometimes pets seem stressed when you come home from a vacation, but we came home to a calm & happy kitty.”
“Awanti took wonderful care of my cat, Myrtle! I needed someone for 2.5 weeks of daily drop ins on short notice, and I will absolutely be asking Awanti to take care of Myrtle again. She clearly knows how to work well with cats and really enjoyed interacting with Myrtle, she was very responsive to messages, and she left Myrtle (and my place) in great shape.”
“Alex helped my partner and I keep our peace of mind while on vacation by taking such good care of our cat! He sent plenty of photos, and did a great job of tidying up after the cat. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“Luisa was great!! She got along with my dog instantly when they met, and worked out a schedule with me to make sure she got all the care she needed while I was away. Then she sent me adorable photos each time she checked in, and let me know how Addie was doing. I could see for myself how great a time they had!”
About: I started sitting in earnest four years ago, but grew up with my own dogs and often babysat for friends and family in high school and college. I’ve cared for Greyhounds, Border Collies, Shihtzus, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, APBTs, one Mastiff, one Akita, one senior German Shpeherd, and one Border Terrier/Shihtzu puppy. I’m a teaching artist, so my fluctuating schedule doesn’t allow me to have my own dogs, but the long periods of remote work and time between gigs means I have very flexible availability and can fill the hole in my heart by being a reliable, loving sitter for others. I really cherish any opportunity to spend time with any pups and look forward to meeting yours! I’m between gigs at the moment, so save some odd appointments, I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening drop in walks, daytime sitting, or longer overnight stays and in-home sitting. I always prefer to take a walk with pet parents leading when I first meet new dogs to get a sense of what they’re used to. For multi-day sitting, I always follow whatever norms you set in your home to make sure training stays consistent and there’s no confusion that may create anxiety for your pups. If working remotely, I try to stay where pups can see me and take lots of breaks for walks, pottying, and pets. Unless you have a specific walking route, I like to stay on quieter streets with slower speed limits and less traffic so walks are calm. I also like to allow lots of time for sniffing (smells stimulate your pup’s brain!) unless you have behavioral or training concerns about avoiding distractions during walks.
Petworth pet parents share their Rover experiences
Erin always does a great job! Every time I come back from a trip, my cat looks happy, healthy, and well cared for. My cat is very shy and skittish, but I think she’s come to understand the she's in good hands while in Erin’s care. I’ve met some great sitters on Rover, but Erin has been the absolute BEST!
Abby did a really amazing job with my cat. She was very proactive and observant, noting when the litter was low or when my cat’s inhaler seemed to run out. I definitely would trust her to act in an emergency situation. She also left my place super clean. I loved all the pictures and videos - my cat looked super happy with her. I would highly recommend!
Tyah took excellent care of my female cat Tiger while I was gone for 18 days, visiting twice a day and providing great communication throughout. She accommodated Tiger’s medication schedule and visited on a reliable schedule, spent time playing with Tiger during each visit, and administered topical medication during each visit without issue. I especially appreciated the detailed updates and photos she sent after every visit, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept a close eye on my cat's health and behavior and communicated anything noteworthy. When I got home, everything was spotless. My sink was empty, the litter area was clean, and most importantly, Tiger was happy, healthy, well cared for, and most importably she wasn’t mad at me :) Tyah's services were an exceptional value for the level of care she provided. It's also a huge bonus that she lives in the neighborhood. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I fully intend to hire her again for my next vacation. Thanks!
We’ve booked with Thomas multiple times and he is always so wonderful! We appreciate the care and thoughtful reports he gives us on our kitties. He also was super accommodating when one of our cats started a medication and needed pill administration. We’re grateful as always!
I’ve been so fortunate to find William to help me with my other sitter while I’m away in Alaska on a traveling nursing contract. He has been incredibly detailed, dependable, trustworthy, and loving with my fur Baby. He takes the most amazing photos! Just incredible- I’m saving every single one of them, they’re just absolutely precious!! To be able to trust somebody in your home while you’re away for months at a time is just priceless, but most importantly, while away with a furry family member - has just brought me such immense peace and comfort. My little girl Violet absolutely loves William and took to him immediately! He’s been so patient and helpful as well, especially when there was a mistake on my end with medication dosing. He makes excellent suggestions about her care (he’s so observant) and is a superb communicator as well; so eloquent in his notes to me about his time with my girl! I look forward to them daily! :) Thank you so much William -God bless you for all your help, I’m so grateful that I found you! - Dani and Violet 💜🦄😻
Daria does an excellent job of meeting the needs of our cats wherever they are regardless of their age or special requirements. During the health decline of Louis, a big ginger boy, he would respond well to Daria even through meds delivery. Now, we count on Daria to deliver the care that our clever but elderly cat craves. We happily recommend Daria as your pet sitter/caregiver.
