“William was absolutely the most attentive and generous rover we’ve ever had. Took great care of our cat and even helped out with trash and mail to look after our house while we were away. Highly recommend and will be sure to book again!”

“Sara was amazing! She took care of our outdoor cat through a winter freeze with great communication and picture updates. We were put at ease that together with our planning our sweet cat was getting great care! Thank you Sara!”

“Sydney did amazing with my cat. she was punctual and spent plenty of time w him. she provided plenty of updates and photos. i will definitely have her cat sit again.”

About: I've had and taken care of many kinds of dogs and cats since childhood, from puppies and kittens to seniors. Friends and family have relied on me for years to pet sit for them for short and long periods of time, and I also have experience fostering dogs and puppies. I am currently between jobs, so will have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am also available for boarding if our timing aligns. I have a mostly fenced in yard at my house (3 sides enclosed / just open at the car port), so can play in the yard leashed and go on walks from here. I can easily crate your dog at my house or am able to block off areas of my house easily as well.
“Meghana was so great when I needed last minute help with my 10 month old puppy! She was responsive, timely, and resourceful when I didn’t have time to leave a lot of detailed instructions!”

“Ashley is great! Based on the photos of my cats, they warmed up to her so quickly. My cats are very anxious and unsure of new people, so I was super happy to see the photos of them hanging out. Will definitely have her watch my cats again!”

“Sarah was fantastic. She even came by before officially accepting the job to make sure she and my dog, Appa, got along—which immediately showed me how thoughtful and professional she is. She asked a ton of great questions, took notes, and was clearly prepared to provide the best care possible. I had her come twice a day for about five days, and she did an amazing job. She played with Appa, gave him space to warm up to her naturally, and never forced interaction. I was able to watch through my cameras and saw how patient and gentle she was. Over time, Appa really started to enjoy her company—playing with her and even going outside with no hesitation. She also sent me cute little pictures of Appa, which was a nice touch. Most importantly, I could tell Appa felt safe and comfortable with her. I would absolutely hire her again in the future.”


About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, most of them rescues, so I know what it’s like to have pups with all sorts of personalities. I work from home, so your dog will never be lonely and will get lots of playtime, walks, and snuggles. I’m used to caring for senior dogs, too, and can handle meds if needed. If you have a nervous rescue or a dog who needs a little extra patience, I totally get it and love helping them feel at home. Honestly, I just really miss having dogs around, so I’d treat yours like my own, plenty of love and attention, every day! Since I work from home, taking care of your dog fits perfectly into my day. I can provide lots of attention, playtime, and regular walks throughout the day without any rush. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s needs, whether that means extra potty breaks, meal times, or just some cozy snuggle sessions. I live in a cozy apartment where I provide a safe and loving environment for dogs. I will make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, mental stimulation, and frequent walks to burn off energy. Working from home means I’m always here to keep your dog company and take care of their needs throughout the day.
“Kim was amazing, swooped in with the best support and care for my lil kitty when I needed it most, and on a moment’s notice!! A true lifesaver, and a real profesh. Can’t wait to book again :)”

About: Apart from owning and caring for many of my own pets since childhood, I happily care for my family’s pets whenever it’s needed! This includes walking, bathing, feeding, entertaining and playing, and cleaning up after a mess if necessary. Im still in school, but I’m available Tuesday's and Thursday’s after 3pm! Mondays and Wednesday's I can work after 5pm. Every other weekend I have lots of time to dedicate to pet care, just let me know! For client in-home pet care, making sure to follow your home rules and boundaries takes priority. Respecting your pets boundaries are also important to build trust and a great experience for our furry friend. Walking safety will consist of keeping your pet out of dangerous situations and making sure to carefully plan the walking route to avoid complications.
“Matthew was a great pet sitter, and went above and beyond with his check-ins and communication. I would absolutely use his services again and will be recommending him to my friends. Very professional!”

“Arantxa is simply wonderful -- a dog-whisperer, a great communicator (amazing photos of our dog Hank), and would highly recommend. Hank had a wonderful series of drop-ins with Arantxa over a day, complete with walks, back yard play time and cuddles. I was impressed and will definitely use her again.”

“Cassandra and Jason were great, very responsive and gave in depth check-in notes which was appreciated. I would definitely book them again and recommend to anybody!”

“Julia did a wonderful job keeping my cat company while I was away for 2 weeks! She was very communicative and provided check-in pictures daily. Also super convenient that she lives in my complex so highly recommend if you live in east downtown Austin!”

“Valerie did great work with our shy cat! She didn't force her to interact and within a day they were like old friends. The apartment was clean and in good shape when we returned.”

“Claire did an excellent job taking care of my cat! She was extremely communicative, friendly, and showed so much love to my pet! When I came home, the litter box was perfectly cleaned and my cat was calm and happy! Highly recommend her for cat care :)”
Rosewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bethany is great! We’ve used her several times… Most recently my husband and I were traveling during the ice storm that hit Austin. Bethany helped get our home ready for the cold weather and eased our worries. Our cats love her and are always happy when we get home! Would definitely recommend booking with Bethany.

I can't thank Christopher enough for the intense help with my cat Niko. Christopher replied promptly and even agreed to come last minute, at late hours, to put Niko on bed ( yes, my cat is one of those that meows loudly at the early hours until everyone is up to let him outside) every night. He was warm, punctual ( even though I never requested him to), communicated with me promptly, sent me pics and videos of Niko so I could see him! I was very fortunate to find him, and he is highly recommended to all Rover community!

Joanna was an excellent caretaker for my cats while I was away on vacation. She went above and beyond in my estimation by continuing to tend for them even during the winter storm. She followed care instructions perfectly and was punctual in her visits. I recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

Absolutely recommend Joan!! She took amazing care of my two cats, Stassi and Lady Gaga, and truly went above and beyond. She sent detailed, thoughtful updates that made it easy to relax while I was away, and it was clear she really cared about the girls and their routines. During a snowstorm, she also went out of her way to drip my faucets, check on the house, and bring in my mail without being asked, which I appreciated so much!! Reliable, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. I would 100% book Joan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust. Thanks again Joan!!
