“Mo was really great with my dog, Bandit. Bandit is a Pomeranian with a lot of “agency” and Mo was a great person to have here for a dog that can be difficult at times. I know Bandit loved Mo as when I changed the sheets on his bed, Bandit immediately jumped on the sheets as he missed Mo!”

“This recent booking was our first overnight stay with Steven. I’ve booked Steven a couple times before for day-stays and I was so relieved to hear he was available for house sitting while I went on a several day hiking trip in California. My pup is anxious and very attached to me so, I have a hard time leaving her with just anyone. Knowing Steven would be taking care of my pup let me fully enjoy myself while I was away. I’m appreciative of his flexibility, understanding, and communication. Thank you for all of your kindness and patience with Palomita! Can’t wait for our next house sitting opportunity.”

“Arantxa was so amazing with Marley ♥️ Marley can initially come off quite stand off ish but Arantxa was so patient and willing to work with and love her through it, we were so grateful! I also have to mention Arantxa’s communication is top tier and gave me SO much piece of mind while away from our girl. Fast replies and consistent updates makes the biggest difference for us dog parents and we were so grateful for that! ♥️”

“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”


“Our dog does not like people other than my wife really. But she took to Christine on day one and was climbing into her lap that night. It is such a relief to know someone who gets along with our dog is taking care of them. Would definitely hire again!”

“Melissa was amazing! Not only did my dog, Ellie, have a blast with her, but she was happy and healthy when I returned. she was also very great with her communication with me and left my house in great shape.”

“Melondy was extremely communicative and thoughtful during her stay with Layla. She made sure she came over right on time, sent me regular updates on how Layla was doing and followed the pet care instructions to the letter. Additionally she was respectful of our space and left the house spotless! I would absolutely book again!”


“Rasika was such a lifesaver for us. She stepped in last minute over a holiday and took incredible care of our dogs. She brought them treats, left the house spotless, and sent us daily updates and photos - which honestly did wonders for my anxiety haha. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and our pups were so happy and relaxed when we got home. We’d book her again in a heartbeat.”

“I can't recommend Jewel highly enough. She stayed at my house to take care of my dog while I was out of town for 10 days and she really went above and beyond with everything. It's great to know I have someone I can trust when I travel and I'll be absolutely be reaching out to Jewel again for help in the future, and recommending her to family and friends!”

“Clair was great! Was very attentive, sent pictures and notes about how my 2 kitties were doing and even read through my crazy long cat manual/notes. Will definitely be reaching out again!”

“Jillian stayed over at my house to watch my dogs while I was away. She was attentive, quick to respond, and sent lots of pictures. I'll be booking with her again!”

“Sara was amazing! She took our dogs on daily walks, sent daily photos, and loved on our animals so well. Our home was very well taken care of. She was kind and respectful. I fully trusted her to be in my space with my beloved animals. Will definitely ask her back!”

“Barbara was amazing! I came to Austin for a conference that had me away all day and night and wanted to make sure my 13 year old (spoiled) golden was cared for deeply. She was so attentive to his needs and care, it made me feel so at ease while I was away. Barbara was so professional, responsible, and attentive. Highly recommend her to care for your furry babies.”

“We cannot recommend Woody enough! We’ve never felt fully comfortable leaving town and having someone stay overnight with our dogs—until Woody. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and clearly loved our pups as much as we do. Our dogs adored them so much that I think they were actually a little sad when we got home! 😂 Woody went above and beyond, especially when the dogs decided to have a little adventure in the muddy backyard. They handled cleanup and care of our home perfectly—everything was spotless when we returned. Truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be booking with Woody again!”

“Sara was amazing! Her communication and daily pictures gave us so much peace of mind. It was our first time leaving our four fur babies at home while traveling out of state, and we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such great hands. We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave them!”

“We just had the best dog care we’ve ever had with Jessica! I have an old lady dog that I’m always worried about. I’ve skipped out on trips that my dog couldn’t come on the last couple of years because I’m so afraid of leaving her. Not anymore! Will absolutely hire Jessica again in a heart beat. She took excellent care of my dog and had amazing communication with me throughout the days with pictures and descriptions about what my dog was doing. I was never worried about her and could actually enjoy my vacation. Not to mention I came home to a sparkling clean house- would absolutely recommend Jessica to watch your pups. She is a gem!”

Lauren was great! She did a meet and greet and got to know my pets and their needs before I left for my trip. Since my dog is a senior dog and needs assistance with walking at times and takes multiple daily medications I am always a little nervous to leave him. She provided photo updates frequently so I never had to wonder if the animals were okay. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation and not worry at all about my pets!

Marina was incredible with Ruger. She sent photo updates that put us completely at ease and you could tell he was having the best time. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly adores dogs. We’d 100% recommend her and we’re so grateful we chose her. If I lived in Austin she would be my choice every time and when we visit there again I will request her every time.

Gustavo was the best house and dog sitter we’ve had and we’ve used quite a few sitters through Rover. He sent multiple pictures and updates every day which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dogs were well cared for and loved. We would absolutely book Gustavo again and highly recommend him!

If you want a great pet sitter, look no further! Aaron was a fantastic pet/house sitter for my 2 boys. It was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better choice in pet sitter. Aaron was very patient with all my questions & concerns. My place was also left very tidy when I returned home at the end of my trip. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could.

Barbara was amazing! I came to Austin for a conference that had me away all day and night and wanted to make sure my 13 year old (spoiled) golden was cared for deeply. She was so attentive to his needs and care, it made me feel so at ease while I was away. Barbara was so professional, responsible, and attentive. Highly recommend her to care for your furry babies.

Laura was AMAZING. I have two very energetic but different personality dogs and she was amazing with both of them. Her communication was amazing. she took care of my house so nicely, it’s like she was never here! And most importantly my dogs were so cared for that I don’t even think they noticed we were gone. I appreciate her so much!!!
