“So happy to have Marissa check in on Melo! He was so comfortable with her at the meet and greet. She makes sure he gets a walk and/or playtime outside, or just keeps him company when he just wants to chill :) Appreciate her check in texts and photos!”
“Michelle did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were out of town. She was quick to set up an in-person meet and greet. She was reliable and sent us updates and photos, and helped check in on the house. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Samantha was fantastic!!! She helped us last minute for a holiday trip and we couldn’t recommend her more. We have two pups. She came before our trip to meet them. She kept us updated with great pictures and notes.”

About: I bring a calm, patient approach to pet care shaped by years of hands-on experience with my own dogs; everything from sweet senior pups who need extra gentleness, to neurotic and anxious dogs who thrive with reassurance and routine, to high-energy dogs who need engagement and play, and happily lazy dogs who just want a cozy spot and companionship. I also care for cats, respecting their independence while earning their trust through quiet presence, consistency, and affection on their terms. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality, comfort level, and needs, and I adjust my care style to help them feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved while you’re away. I'm currently not working full time, so I'm flexible & available for check-ins, walks, and pet-sitting at your home to make sure your pup gets all the attention they need when you're away. Im experienced in caring for senior dogs, puppies, and dogs of any age & temperament in between. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, a leisurely stroll or a rigorous game of fetch, I can do what's best for your individual dog.
“Olivia was great! My frenchie is leash reactive and Olivia handled him so well. She sends pictures of him to keep me in the loop and is so responsive. Recommend her to anyone!”
“Madeline was great! We will definitely use her again in the future. She was super responsive and very attentive to our pups while we were away and we felt very confident when they were in her care. Definitely recommend her!”
“Jeremy was great! He took care of our cats for 3 days and provided photos, and everything they needed. Jeremy was punctual, easy to communicate with and followed all the instructions we left for him. Our cats loved him, overall 10/10!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for the last 25 years of my life. I just love how every pet has its own personality and how you connect on different levels with them. I treat every animal like my own, with patience, play and lots of belly rubs! I’m a homemaker so I have plenty of time especially in the mornings when my daughter is at school; and since I just have one kid and one dog I’m very available I have a fence yard in my house and a dog park in my neighborhood as well as a dog park just across the street
“Jourdan was great checking on our big, exuberant guy while I was out of town. She was punctual and is always responsive to messages. Our Labrador loves her and her calm energy is just what he needs. Looking forward to many more bookings with Jourdan!”
“Impeccable service! Olha was very responsive and kept me updated on all the visits with any issues and always sent many photos. I highly recommend Olha for any pet sitting needs, especially for cats.”
“Caitlyn was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat, Tigger. She visited and communicated with us regularly, sending us photos and videos. When we got home, we found Tigger to be happy, healthy, and affectionate.”
“Olivia was amazing with my dog, Finley!! She was great with communication, keeping me updated while I was out of town. I could tell from all the pictures he was very comfortable with her and had a great time. She also was willing to add a last minute drop in when my flight was delayed returning home!! Highly recommend!!”
“Eva is incredibly reliable and so considerate of our cat. She communicates at each visit and shares stories. I couldn't imagine hiring anyone else!”
University Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had such a great experience and couldn’t be happier. The care and attention Benny, Mochi, and Luna received was obvious from the start. Our dogs were so excited during visits and clearly felt comfortable and loved, which gave us total peace of mind. Everything felt thoughtful and reliable, and we came home to three very happy pups. We’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend!!
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.
Lindsey is truly the kindest and most thoughtful cat sitter you could hope for. While we’re away, I have complete peace of mind knowing Belle is not just cared for, but genuinely happy and loved. The photos Lindsey sends make it obvious how much Belle adores her, and her thoughtful notes always brighten our day. I honestly don’t think I could fully relax or enjoy a trip without knowing Lindsey is there for Belle. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Becca has been AMAZING with our gang Mochi, Benny, and Luna. They genuinely love her and get excited whenever she comes by. She’s reliable, super communicative, and soo great with dogs. It’s been such a relief knowing they’re well taken care of, and we’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pups!
