“I booked with Jillian on pretty short notice, and she was great! All instructions for taking care of Frankie were followed, she administered her medication and spent ample time with her during drop ins. Frankie is a really anxious dog so it was nice to come home to her as calm as if I never left!”

“Lillian was great — highly recommend! She was very kind and responsive, and played with our cat so well. I felt such peace of mind knowing she was checking on them and getting cute photos :)”

“Kelly was the perfect sitter while we were out of town for an extended period of time. I’m not used to being away from my babies, but Kelly regularly sent detailed updates and lots of pictures, which made being away a bit easier. I would absolutely recommend Kelly to anyone needing someone to love on their animal(s) while they are busy/away!”

“Katie did an amazing job caring for Harlow while I was away! Her report cards were very detailed and she took many adorable photos. I would love to work with Katie again in the future!”

About: Hi, my name is Jamie! I grew up on a small horse ranch boarding and training horses as well as multiple dogs and cats!

I’d love to spoil your dogs! I work remotely full time and my schedule is very flexible so I have plenty of time and flexibility for your pet! I live next to a trail and dog park as well so lots of outdoor time is very accessible! I live on the fourth floor with an easily accessible elevator or stairs. I have a small patio if your pup enjoys sunbathing and live next to a fenced dog park and walking trail.

About: As a bilingual sitter, I can communicate clearly with more families and make sure every detail of your pet's care is understood. Most importantly, I treat every pet like family—with patience, love, and plenty of attention—so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away! I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I am also comfortable administering medications and following specific care routines, whether that involves senior pet care, special diets, or detailed health and wellness needs! I recently moved to Austin and am excited to explore the city, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, specially with summers off! I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, drop-in visits, or following specific care routines. Pet sitting allows me to do something I love while getting to know the community, and I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I can’t host pets at my home, but I’m happy to care for them in their own home. I take dogs and cats on walks, spend time with them, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and focus on giving each pet the attention and care they need so that they feel loved and genuinely cared for!
“This was my first time using this app Kelsy help make everything go so smoothly she even helped me open my account which is a little hard to understand for me and my three doggies love her . I am definitely going to use her again and this app I am very happy with both.”

“James has been such a great sitter for my baby girl, Reese. I’ve moved around a lot in recent years, and I’ve found it’s a challenge to find someone who 1) shows up on time and 2) respects my home (takes off their shoes without me asking. Finding someone who does both AND cares for my animal as if she were their own is a real bonus, and James definitely exemplifies this rare trio. Very grateful for him!”

Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Laura has been amazing with my pups. She is thorough and hilarious with her communication, and sends plenty of pics while I have been away. My dogs are not the easiest to deal with, yet she handles them with grace and care. Will absolutely use her again in the future!

Nicky goes above and beyond!! She always gives me detailed updates during her visits and I know that she’s taking good care of my cat while I’m away. I’ve had bad Rover experiences in the past so it’s been great to find someone that I trust. She is the best!

Sydney is the best! I appreciated her stopping by ahead of my trip to meet Sasha & get acclimated with her space/routine. Sasha took to her immediately :) strong communication & a clear love for animals. So appreciate you, Sydney! Thank you for helping me & Sasha out in a pinch!

Robert not only took the best care of my cats but he went above and beyond to clean up their messes around the house as well. I feel like my house is cleaner than when I left it lol! I always have anxiety when leaving my cats for a long time on vacation but I was so at ease this time. He cared for my cats like I would my own and was AMAZING! Thank you!
