“Clarissa is AMAZING!!!! We use her regularly but on this day we needed her last minute when one of our dogs refused to poop during the morning rain. We contacted her early in the AM and asked for a visit within a few hours. She quickly responded and accommodated our request, no problem! Overall, she’s very attentive and noticed that our dog chewed her blanket in the kennel that morning, and removed all the pieces before putting our dog back in after the visit. For every visit, not just this one, she takes lots of photos of the pups, who look extremely happy during the visit, and when we come home, they are exhausted! We have three rescue dogs, all with very individual quirks. Clarissa paid close attention when we initially explained it all. Even with the three of them at one time, she is very mindful of their individual personalities and gives each of them the special attention they need. We are very grateful for finding Clarissa on Rover!!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life and currently have one dog, three cats (one senior with chronic illnesses/daily meds), four hermit crabs, one ball python, and 10 quail. In the past, I have cared for fish, snails, horses, rabbits, ferrets, a tarantula, and a variety of birds. I am open to watching animals of all kinds! I am able to provide drop in care any time on the weekends and morning/lunchtime/evening during the work week. I am also able to provide dog boarding in my home. I work Monday-Friday but my office is in the same neighborhood as my house - and is pet friendly! For drop in care, my goal is to provide care that keeps to the pets' regular schedule as much as possible in order to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I am able to medicate cats and dogs. For in home care, I am able to accommodate up to 2 dogs from the same household. I have a large, pet friendly house and fenced back yard. All boarding dogs must be cat friendly and good with other dogs.
“Jessica was amazing with our dogs for drop in care while we were at Disney. I was not expecting her to send pictures and videos of the dogs so that was so nice to get live updates. She was very accommodating, and so professional. If you’re looking for a dog sitter and need someone on base then look no further. We will be booking her again this summer and we will have zero worries about our fur babies because we know they will be well taken care of.”
“Nicole was amazing! Very responsive and caring, I received lots of photos and videos of my cats during my trip, which allowed me to feel comfortable and confident they were in good hands while I was away. I would absolutely book with Nicole again.”
“Rebecca has been great! We have had her watch our two dogs at least 4 occasions now and they always have a great time with her. We totally trust Rebecca.”
“Laura is amazing! She was on time each to each visit and always took great pictures of her visit with my dog. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough for anyone needing a pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Vanessa was terrific and really put us at ease to leave our pets in her care. She was reliable and responsible with our kitties. They warmed up to her in a few days as she was a natural with them. We really are 100% pleased and feeling great about finding Vanessa.”
“Alexis was very flexible and kept us up to date. We had to make last minute changes to our travel plans and she worked with us very well. She took very good care of our little pup :) Thank you Alexis!”
“Austin was on time every day to take care of my dog. He sent great pictures and asked good questions. My dog was at ease with him, and he made me feel safe. Thank you for caring so much!”

About: I have been dog sitting for the past two years and enjoy it. I am very flexible with each individual dog schedules. I am able to understand each dog’s unique quirks and needs. I am available all weekends. I am available monday-friday after 5pm. I need a two week notice for dog sitting over night. I am n/a for boarding I currently live in an apartment so boarding or dog sitting at my location is unavailable at this time, maybe in the near future. g
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful. She gave me daily updates and pics. My dog was wore out by the time she left. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. I will for sure be using her next time we need a dog sitter...”

We had Jennifer check in on our cats while we were away for Thanksgiving, and she did an amazing job. Her communication was great and always kept us in the loop. She was professional, reliable, and went above and beyond—bringing in our packages and even cleaning up after the cats when they made a mess. We came home to happy pets and everything taken care of. Highly recommend Jennifer for anyone needing trustworthy and attentive pet care!
Isabella is fantastic! I am so relieved that she was there to take care of my babies. She went above and beyond when my oldest was unable to get up. She took her to the emergency clinic and stayed with her until they took over. I just love Isabella and her caring manner.
Jessica was wonderful! She kept me updated like I asked and sent photos every time - she ended up taking my new favorite photo of one of my dogs, too 🥹 Jessica was kind, thorough, and communicative. She was exactly what we needed, perfectly trustworthy, and reliable. We don’t know much of anyone in our town yet as we just moved, so we were very nervous with leaving our anxious dogs already. But Jessica’s care for our fur babies allowed us to enjoy our time away with little to no worries, leaving us confident that they were in good hands. We are so grateful, and will definitely look for her availability next time we need some help with our girls!
Erin is the best!! She gave my kitten and senior pup so much attention and they loved her right away! They were noticeably happier and more energetic after she would drop in. She was attentive, flexible, kind, and even sent a video collage of my boys after! Definitely recommend!! ✨
