“Emily was amazing with my kitties! I have a skittish boy that doesn't take easily to anyone and he fell for her. I have such anxiety around leaving them with anyone and her photos and updates put me at ease. Thank you Emily!”


“Misha was very reliable, friendly, accommodated the special needs of my cats and myself, and was a great pet sitter!! I will definitely ask him to sit again!!!”



“Christine has been so great with my pup. She is always willing to help out with check ins and is really good about documenting the visit and providing photos. I can rest easy when I’m away knowing that my pup is in great hands!”


“I recently had the pleasure of booking Anthony as a dog sitter for my two pups, Shiloh and Noël, through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Anthony was absolutely fantastic—professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. He took the time to understand Shiloh and Noël’s unique personalities and needs, ensuring they were comfortable and happy while I was away. Anthony kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. The dogs were clearly having a blast on their walks, and it was obvious they were getting plenty of love and attention. When I returned, Shiloh and Noël were relaxed, well-cared-for, and their tails were wagging like crazy! I highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter. He went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking him again. Thank you, Anthony, for taking such great care of my furry babies!”


“Our dog Gus loved being visited by Laura! She was very communicative and took great pictures of Gus and shared lots of information about what they got up to. Would highly recommend that she cares for your pets!”


“Gil was so amazing! His drop off visits were always on time, full of fun, cute photos of my pets and he gave great updates. He is trustworthy and will not let you down! I will definitely use Gil again in the future!!”


“Shanda was so attentive to our dog Wilbur. She followed instructions meticulously and asked great questions. We loved the updates we got during her drop-in. You could tell Wilbur was head over heels for her! Really lucky we found Shanda.”


About: Rewriting your profile: Hi there! I’m Lacy, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was about eight years old. Growing up, I had the joy of looking after our family pets, I’ve given baths to our cats, guinea pigs, and even bearded dragons! Over the years, my love for nurturing life has flourished—not just with animals but also with my cherished plant collection that I've been tending to for over a decade. I provide attentive, loving care to animals of all kinds. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time to keep them happy and comfortable, I’m here to ensure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’d be honored to be your trusted pet sitter and look forward to meeting your furry (or scaly) family members soon! I work as a server and I can move things around to accommodate you’re sitting needs. There’s never need to worry about what if with me. Give me instructions to follow and enjoy your vacation or work trip without worry. I will snuggle and love them as much as they will allow.

About: I’ve been taking care of small dogs on Rover for two years now and before that, watched my friends for years. I only keep one family’s dog(s) at a time so your baby will be the guest of honor. I truly love each dog I sit like they’re my own since I don’t have my own pets. I also have watched several senior dogs. I have work from home flexibility and am home 2-4 days a week for the majority of the day. I also live about 5 minutes from my job and am able to head home mid-day for walks as needed. I have a small home with no other pets or children. Your pet will have a cozy and quiet home with no one else distracting from the attention. My neighborhood has lots of sidewalks and natural areas for outdoor walks.

“Mia was amazing at taking care of my cat while I was away for a few days. She sent several photos and videos with each visit which helped ease my anxiety. Also loved how detailed she was in her messages about their time spent together and how my cat was doing. She even scheduled a call before booking to write down any special needs or behaviors to look out for. I’d 100% rebook with her in the future!”


“Ryan was amazing with my cats! They warmed up to her very quickly and loved all the attention she gave them. She was very good at sending up date pics and telling me how they were doing”


About: I’ve had all kinds of pets my whole life and absolutely love cats and dogs. I travel for work so don’t have a pet of my own but have the space to take care of others when I’m in town! I’ll love on your baby/babies and make sure they feel safe, secure and loved. I work from home Mondays and Fridays and from the office Tues-Thurs. I have great flexibility with work to take care of any needs of your pet and can easily pop home for a potty break or walk. I live alone in a one-bedroom condo that I own. It has glazed concrete floors and a side yard that is fenced in and private, providing a great space for dogs. Pups are welcome on my furniture and bed if that is something you allow at your home, otherwise I will maintain your rules!

About: Animals have been a huge part of my entire life. I’ve had dogs, cats, and other small animals since I was little and even started volunteering and fostering with a local cat rescue at age 12! As an adult, I started pet sitting and dog walking back in 2018, started dog training in 2020, and worked at two pet stores from 2020-2023! After moving to Austin in May of 2023, I even worked at a vet office and did some fundraising work for the ASPCA! So it’s fair to say caring for animals holds a MASSIVE place in my heart! During all these years I have trained over 200 dogs and cared for over 500 various pets! All of my varied experience with these animals truly allows me to go above and beyond with the care I provide to my clients! I am more than happy to administer oral medication, practice some training with them, or even recommend my favorite training tools or treats with you! And above all else I will be sure to give them plenty of love, cuddles, and playtime! I am also extremely detail-oriented, so I’ll make sure to follow closely to your pets’ specific needs and routines! Beyond that, I always provide daily pictures, videos, and reports of how your pet(s) are doing for all of my services and will reach out as needed with questions or concerns! At the end of the day, I aim to bring your fur babies as much comfort and love as possible while you’re away! I am currently offering pet care services full time! My schedule does tend to book up quickly, so advance requests are always appreciated! Please note, my Pet Sitting Rate is for 12 hours (9pm-9am) of overnight care only, as I do have walk and drop-in clients during the day! If you need additional care for your pet during the day, please let me know so I can create a custom booking for you, to best accommodate your pets’ needs! Safety and trust play an extremely important role in my practices. Specifically I always make sure to: -Require Free Meet & Greets for new clients, so you and your pet(s) feel 100% comfortable with me caring for them while you’re away! -Follow your detailed care instructions & the pets’ daily routine(s) as closely as possible! -Keep your pet away from other animals (unless instructed otherwise) -Use a muzzle for walks if there is any history with aggressive behavior -Maintain a hazard-free environment environment -Send plenty of text, picture, and video updates on your fur babies to give you that peace of mind while away!
