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.

Jess was a fantastic sitter! Very communicative and flexible when it came to coordinating the key/fob pickup, and the girls got lots of TLC during her drop-in visits. I will definitely rebook with her next time I go out of town!

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!

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.

Catherine is absolute magic. My cats adore her. I was so worried to leave them overnight for the first time in over a year, but knowing they were in Catherine’s capable hands was incredible piece of mind! Even my Russian blue, who typically hides from EVERYONE, will come out to play when she visits. Can’t recommend her highly enough!

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!

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.

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.

Alex is s great professional and definitely loves dogs. He was a lifesaver and took care of our dogs beyond what we expected. He was extremely attentive, sent us pictures of our dogs in every visit, and made every effort to assure us that they were being taken care of and cuddled in our absence. Our puppies are certainly looking forward to spending more time with their new friend.

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.

A well deserved 5star review! I had an emergency with my cats, when I called her to come help, she arrived incredibly fast. Not only did she handle the urgent issue perfectly, but what really impressed me was how proactive she was. She went above and beyond to take care of my cats. She is incredibly reliable and gave me such peace of mind. I will absolutely reach out to her again next time!
