“Shilpa and her family were amazing! They took such great care of Milton while we were away. He was completely spoiled over there and had the best time. They also sent a lot of pictures of him, so my kids were able to see how much fun he was having too! I will definitely try to use them for our next getaway.”
“Hi! Sophie's stay with Kurt and family was AWESOME! The last time I took Sophie to a sitter (someone else) she came back a totally crazed wild dog that I did not recognize. This time Sophie came home a calm, well behaved, well adjusted normal dog. She was very well taken care of and she will hopefully stay there again. ”
“May and Marc are absolutely fabulous! Winston loved his stay, and the picture updates and messages made us feel 💯 assured he was in good care. Just booked several more stays for Winston to cover our summer travel! 🐶🤗🥰”
“Erica and Felipe are great sitters! Very responsive and flexible with a great space for all of their pups, and they take good care of my girl when I'm out of town. :)”
“Sierra is amazing, Charlie loves her and her family like his own. He has bad separation anxiety but felt instantly at home over there. I never have to worry about Charlie when I leave him with her. Will always book with Sierra when going on trips. Thank you so much”
“Julia kept our senior pug for nearly 2 weeks and took great care of her! She was quick to communicate, provided lots of updates and was flexible with us when we returned a day early from our trip. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Kimberly always takes the best care of Luna, is so communicative, and always sends the sweetest pictures so we know that Luna is having the best time. So thankful for you, Kimberly!!”
“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”
“Angie was wonderful with my dog Beaux. He is massive, likes lots of attention, and even has some quirks. Angie and her family welcomed Beaux like he was one of their own and I got several photos of him having an absolute BLAST. I don’t have enough good things to say about this experience. ❤️”
“Michele is the best dog sitter! I could tell they were well taken care of by her and she gave them lots of love! She sent pictures every day and they looked so happy. I will definitely use her the next time I go out of town!”
“Michelle and Steve are amazing, and Gordon has a blast when he goes to stay. We are especially grateful for Michelle’s experience, the extra care she brings when looking after Gordon, and the great communication. Thank you so much!!!”
“Jocelyn was a great sitter! She was very responsive when it came to communication and appreciated that she asked before treating my dog to a pup cup. Would def book again!”
“Maya was amazing and showed my senior so much affection and care! Hayden felt right at home, and we will definitely be rebooking next time. I appreciated all the photos, and felt confident my dog was in a safe and happy home :) Thank you!!”
“Sue and Dick were great with Speckle. They sent pictures and little updates daily which was much appreciated. We’ve already booked our next boarding appointment. Thanks again.”
“Erin is a very kind, caring, and professional pet sitter. I have a young puppy, and she took amazing care of Luna during her overnight stay. Not only is Erin knowledgeable about pet care, but she also went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Since Luna is still a puppy and can be nervous in new environments, Erin took extra time to help her adjust. She even created a cozy sleeping space and set up a crate for her, which made a huge difference. Erin’s home is very pet-friendly, clean, safe, and well-organized, with everything needed to care for animals properly. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. Honestly, Erin is one of the best pet sitters we’ve had so far, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. ☺️🫶🏼🐾”
“Brad and Tara were great with our little guy. We would fully recommend them to take care of your pup. They were very hospitable when we first met and they would keep us updated with how and what our pup was doing. Thanks Brad and Tara”
“It was my dog's first stay with Chong's family. I think he had a very good time with them. Chong sent me pictures every day, and it was helpful to know how well he was doing. Thank you so much for the great care.”

“Kati is fantastic! She has a good head on her shoulders and knows the right thing to do without any fuss, but also follows all directions given. We will be booking with her again!”
“Emily was a great cat sitter for our 5 day vacation! She listened to us during our meet and greet. She was very attentive to our two cats that have different needs. She went above and beyond to bring in packages and the trash cans. Emily sent us updates with each visit that included pictures which we loved! We would for sure book with Emily again!”
“Amazing!! Definitely will be using them again for their wonderful service and personable personalities! Literally the ONLY reason I’d consider not giving them a 5/5 is so they won’t get so booked up that they couldn’t watch my cat again.”
“Outstanding job, I really couldnt ask for a betterr sitter. Takes pictures, always spends lots of time and care!!! I have had many sitters on this app… and rachel is the best… by far…. i always rebook with her.”
“Africa was great with the girls, she kept us updated on how each of them were doing and they were all doing great upon our return. Our cats can take a while to warm up to some people so we’re very appreciative!”
“Amanda is fantastic! Very communicative, sends great updates. Friendly and dependable- was always easy to get in contact with her, and she went above and beyond with arranging key drop offs. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my cat!”
About: Before having my own cats, I didn’t know how I felt about them but now that I have them- I could never imagine a life without them. I am a proud cat owner & would love to be able to meet and care for yours:)
“Aubrey is the best! Looks like our dog had a great time based on the adorable pictures she got of him, and everything was in order when we got home. Absolutely will keep using Aubrey to care for our boy!”
“I’m so grateful for the care and attention our cats received! The updates were detailed and reassuring, and it was clear that my cats were in great hands. Lots of entertainments! I really appreciated the thoughtful notes and photos. It means so much to know they were happy and well cared for while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren is the best! She took excellent care of our cat. He absolutely adores her. She's very kind, professional and conscientious. It made traveling a lot easier for us, knowing that she was taking care of him. We will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Kevin did such an excellent job caring for our cats while we were gone for the holidays. He gave our cats plenty of attention and love. He even sent us videos of them even though we didn't request them. I would absolutely rebook with Kevin. I recommend him 10/10.”
“This was our second time booking with Jeanine, and this time was for an entire week. That's the longest we've ever had to leave our pets alone with someone we didn't know, but Jeanine made us feel so much better about it. Right before we left we started having litter box issues with one of our cats, so we were especially nervous about what we might come home to. But Jeanine kept us updated every day and put our mind at ease. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing we had someone so caring and responsible looking after our pets. Thanks Jeanine!”
“I had never used Rover or any service like it before and I was so nervous. I used the house sitting service and Anna was so sweet and took care of my two cats. Not only were the kitties taken care of and loved on, she kept the house all clean! She sent photos and when I reached out she replied in a very timely manner! Anna made my time away home a lot less stressful knowing she took care of everything so well. Any future trips, I’ll definitely be wanting Anna to watch the cats! Thank you ❤️”
“I cannot say enough good things about Carley. She provided exemplary care and prevented an emergency happening. We were out of town and she was able to get our cat the emergency care she needed. I would recommend Carley to any pet parent. If you're getting a sitter for the first time or have had someone sit with your pet before you cannot do better than Carley. Thank you!”
“Josh was a life saver for us! We just moved to California and needed someone we could trust to watch our cat and he was exactly what we were looking for! He was so helpful to us, allowing us to still be able to travel and do what we need to do and know that our cat has a friend to look after them while we are away. So grateful for Josh, he is a must book, you won’t regret it!”
“Heather was kind, punctual and knowledgeable on cat care. My male kitty went right up to her during the meet and greet. I will use her services again. Highly recommend Heather!”

Happy to have new friends to play with and very happy with her new doggie day care. Everything was very nice. Holly is exceptionally kind and in touch with what animals need and want. Thank you Holly for an excellent experience for Anna.”
“Kathryn & Matt Took great care of Charlie. Charlie was always excited when we pulled up to their house. They have a nice setup for your pet to play in the backyard or go on walks in a nice neighborhood.”

“Lori was very friendly & had great communication. My pup Jewels had a good time playing with her two sweet dogs & had plenty space for Jewels to play. She sent me photos & videos of her having a good time. Lori was very accommodating to my dog & I would highly recommend! Thanks again Lori for taking good care of my pup. 🙂”
“They were amazing with Moose! We had a last minute need for dog sitting and they were able to accommodate within 30 minutes. We felt quite lucky. They even provided their own leash, water bowl, bed, and treats so we didn’t have to leave his stuff at all. Thank you both!!!”
“Sierra was great with my dog. Took her on a last minute booking and was super flexible. My dog can be anxious with new settings and she immediately connected with sierra and settled right in at the little dog haven they have created.”
“Renea and her family are the best! Everyone was so kind and welcoming to my pup Nya and made her feel right at home. It was my first time using this service and the pictures she sent throughout the day let me know that Nya was being loved and having a great time. I highly recommend her for daycare or overnights. Thank you Renae!”
“I'm so glad I found Priscilla. She was able to accommodate a very last-minute booking and I'm so grateful she could help us out. My dog is a little timid and nervous around new people and situations. Priscilla was so patient and kind and my dog did great with her and her two pups. Priscilla was also flexible when our schedule changed, and she kept me updated throughout the day with great communication, which gave me so much peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her.”
About: I have experienced pet sitting for a year and a half now. I am very reliable. I have watched puppies from 5 month old to very senior dogs. I have done oral medicine and making sure everything is followed I am working weekends only with kids, I am still reliable and open availability during the week. I am able to still make sure that your pet is cared for I am very trust worthy, I have worked with a couple of repeat clients, I’m only worried about making sure that your pet is satisfied with exercise and comfort while owners are away.
About: I've had pets my whole life and I love ALL animals. I think it all started when my parents adopted a kitten when I was six and I would dress up the kitty in doll clothes and take her everywhere she was allowed to go! I always considered myself a cat-person, but when my mom brought home a puppy from a coworker many years ago, I took care of him like he was my own and sure enough he became my dog! I currently own one dog, two cats and a leopard gecko and they certainly make life more interesting with their individual personalities. My family has always called me the "animal-lover" because I'm the one who would frequently bring home animals that needed to be re-homed. I could never say no to anyone who asked if I could take in an animal, and if I couldn't keep them, then I would try to find someone else who could. I have much experience walking friend's, relative's, and coworker's dogs when they were on vacation. My most recent experience, for the past few years, has been dog-sitting a coworker's massive-sized Goldendoodle when he leaves town for Thanksgiving and other holidays. I give him food and water, take him out for long walks around his area and provide exercise at the park playing fetch and running around. I also fostered a sweet senior Pomeranian for a lady who was in the hospital a couple years ago and I've walked and dog-sat for many friend's over the years. People always ask me for petcare needs because they know I love animals, they trust me, and I don't have kids so they know I'm usually available. These were all good experiences that enriched my life and helped me know how to handle different pet situations. It makes me feel good knowing that I am helping either a dog get outside to relieve itself and feel the warmth of the sun or spend quality time with a cat while its person is away. I'm currently working part-time on a random schedule so I have plenty of availability to take dogs out for walks, check in on them for potty breaks, and provide stimulation and exercise. I live in a townhouse with a small backyard and a really high fence that is very secure for pets. I have a few different sized kennels to crate dogs who are most comfortable this way. There is plenty of room for pets to stay and pet gates throughout the house when needed to fence off certain areas or separate pets if needed.
“Robert and Andrea were amazing. I was in the area for the first time for a short period, and they were very welcoming and accommodating. They took Rocky on such short notice and Robert was incredibly patient and understanding when Rocky initially struggled to adjust. Communication was great leading up to the appointment and during, and I really appreciated the photo update- it was reassuring. They made sure he was fed, got him out for a nice walk, and helped him burn off energy. He came back happy and settled—truly appreciate their care. Highly recommend!”

Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many different breeds for the last 8-10 years. I love dogs and currently have one 8 month old shepherd rescue that I have been (mostly) independently training at home as well as 2 cats- one whom is 6 years that I adopted when she was only 8 weeks and another that was a stray that my husband & I took in. All our animals are very loved and having them be a part of our lives has been our favorite adventure together 🥰 I am working at a school this year & going back around mid August but during this summer I will be available to check in/walk your dogs throughout the week because I know a busy workday can be stressful when you have your pets at home that would love attention & fun. Whatever your scheduling need is, I would love to discuss how I can be that best fit for you & your fur babies! Since I already have my dog to walk 2-3 times a day, I would love to be able to bring your dog along with us! My trailer park has a private park and is along an easy accessible trail so I can definitely bring your dog here or wherever you prefer we go! I am close by San Marcos and have taken my dog to Bradley Park and Discovery Lake so we would love to bring your fur babies along too!
“Emily is a sweet young lady who immediately connected with our dog. She took him on several walks and he loved every one of them. She communicated well with pictures and a route of the walk so you know exactly where they went. We are looking forward to having her also dog sit for us in the future.”
“Jessica is amazing! We have a puppy that still needs some training and Jessica makes sure to follow that on walks and gives us updates on how she does everyday. She’s responsive and responsive.”
About: I have tons of experience with all kinds of animals. I have loved and cared for: -kittens, senior cats, and pregnant cats -puppies, senior dogs, and pregnant dogs I’ve also had birds, fish, and bunnies. I have also volunteered with horses and other farm animals, although I’ve never personally owned any. I am currently a college student and a manager at an ice cream shop. I’m looking to help my community and fill my time! I work most days but, most of my classes are online. I am willing to be flexible! I am very particular when it comes to client care. I don’t believe you can “spoil” an animal because they’re our babies! Let’s take care of them the best we can together. Any requests for pet care are fine by me as long as the animal is safe and happy! My animals(I have 3 dogs and 2 cats) all get along well, are fed well, and regularly see a vet.
“Lauren has been amazing so far! During our first meet and greet we were impressed with her confidence and knowledge with training and behavior. This is key for us since we have bullies and they really need to know who the pack leader is. Lauren is very personable and you can tell that she takes pride in what she does. She is also great with communication. While we did run into some unexpected challenges as our pups familiarize themselves with a new walker, Lauren has been committed. We highly recommend Lauren for pet services!”
“We had a great experience with Dana. She was very communicative, kept us updated regularly, and was always on time for visits. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog, Sierra, in her care, which gave me real peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog walker!”

“Can't say enough positive things about Kristen. Took stress off my shoulders during medical situation. Highly recommend. Will book again. Thank You Kristen 😊 Sheila and TANK”
“John was great with walking our dogs, our Aussie loves the long walks. Always very tired right after. John is very accommodating and very responsive. Even brought our packages inside the house for us. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“Shaina was very communicative. She arrived right on time and shared some great pics of our pup while they were on their walk. I would not hesitate to re-book. Thanks!”
About: I've had dogs of every size my whole life in every environment, and I really enjoy giving high quality treatment to the animals around me. This is currently my full time job while I apply to other places. I'm free morning noon and night for you, and your pets convenience. I have a fenced-in backyard that has been flea and tick sprayed so no critters will catch a ride on your fur baby. As for walks around your neighborhood I always carry an emergency pet care bag with me just to be safe.
About: I love dogs and cats! I own one of each, and have fostered about forty. I have learned great leash-training skills, and behavior management of fearful dogs to help them feel more comfortable. I am fit and enjoy exercise, so I am happy to take your dog on long walks or even hikes! I can also administer treats on a walk if a dog needs some leash-training. Most importantly, I will treat your pup with kindness and affection. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of availability during the summer and holidays. For care in my home, I only live about five minutes from work, making it easy for me to check on animals during the day. For care in your home, I bring my own dog with me overnight. She is good with other animals. I am currently home full time for the summer. I spend a lot of time outside and love to take dogs for walks. I am also happy to chill inside and relax and give scritches. In my home, I have a secure fenced yard outside and a large crate available inside. At others’ homes I am respectful of my surroundings and treat all animals and property with great care.

“Lori was great in multiple ways. She welcomed Coaster in and made him a part of the pack. We got lots of photos and updates every day, so we knew he was doing well. Large, fenced property for exploring and playing. Our travel plans changed while we were away, and she was flexible enough to extend Coaster's stay by several days, including feeding him her own food after ours ran out. I'm sure he'll love to go back. From our home, she's a little out of the way, but it's more than worth it. We're grateful.”
“Sean and his wife took amazing care of our dog, Ollie while we went on a family vacation to Kauai. I received daily photo updates, and beautiful sunset hike images of Ollie out enjoying nature. It wasn’t easy leaving our boy behind for the first time, but knowing Ollie was in such capable and loving hands made all the difference. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, responsible pet care. I will definitely be using Seans services in the future!”
