“Barbara is a great awesome caregiver for my Maggie. She kept us updated every day and it seemed like Maggie probably didn’t wanna come home cause barber shows a lot of love towards animals. I would recommend her highly.”
“HanLan took such good care of my cat while I was away. She sent regular updates showing all the fun adventures he got up to with her cat. They got on so well. It gave me piece of mind knowing she and Her husband took such good care of my cat while I was out of cell phone range. I would use her services again.”
“Annika and John are wonderful! They took great care of my anxious and needy pup for a week and kept me in the loop with daily photos and updates which I really appreciated. They took note of all my dog’s needs and asked questions, I could tell they really cared. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them and will happily rebook!”
“I was very excited to find Rosemary, after my original Rover sitter cancelled on me. We did a Meet and Greet beforehand, and Rosemary was so warm and friendly. I immediately felt at ease, and assured that the dogs would be in good hands. From beginning to end, Rosemary was very communicative, responded quickly, and followed up when she said she would. She sent updates and pics of how the dogs were doing during their stay. Rosemary understood the needs of our dogs. We will definitely use Rosemary in the future. She is a breath of fresh air, and a great sitter!”
“What an amazing individual and her little doggie, Zoe. Marybeth is super casual, interested, caring, and flexible. She understands pets and their importance. I loved her tree-lined neighborhood and the HUGE fenced backyard available for my little pupper to play. I've decided Marybeth's the one to trust with my little pup, Mia.”
“Danielle was very professional and showed a passion for taking care of pets. She did a great job taking care of Agnes, my 11 year old Blue Heeler rescue. She sent updates with pictures to remind me how cute and happy Agnes was on a daily basis. I travel a lot, so it’s great to have a good dog sitter in Austin I can trust with my pup.”
“Madeline is absolutely amazing. I would recommend her to anyone. My pup had so much fun, I was nervous leaving him with anyone, she communicated the entire time. Sent me photos and lets me know how my boy is doing. Will be booking for more than a week next time. House is amazing very well prepared for any dog she takes care of. I was very much at peace while on my vacation knowing my pup is in good hands.”
“Breann did an amazing job with my energetic poodle/shitzu mix! Yuzu was happy and playful & there was great communication throughout. I would 100% book with Breann again”
“Dahlias enjoyed her visit with Michael. He gave her a lot of personal attention and belly rubs. She is a nervous girl, and he helped her to feel safe and comfortable.”
“This was our second time booking with Brittany and had another great experience! She sent lots of updates of our guy and always included photos :) Will definitely continue to reach out to Brittany for any future trips where we need a sitter!”
“Jones had a wonderful stay with Vanessa! Her sweet dog Kento was a bonus for Jonesy. Kento is relaxed and patient amd a great companion. Vanessa sent several pictures each day of Jones's stay - so comforting and fun for this pet momma. We'll definitely be back for more fun and care with Vanessa!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and consider them family! Your pets’ happiness and well-being are my top priorities - whether that means a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or cuddles on the couch. In my personal pet life, I’ve managed dogs and cats with separation anxiety, complex medication/food regimens, dog reactivity, etc. so I am prepared to care for any unique needs your pet might have. I am a therapist who works from home a few days a week(Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays), so I have a lot of flexibility for your pet's needs! I will care for your pets and treat your home like my own! I have used plenty of Rovers for my own pet needs in the past so I understand the trust and responsibility required of me to enter your home and pets’ lives. Detailed instructions on your pets’ behavioral and emotional needs are always appreciated so I can ensure I’m caring for them just the way you would! I do have a cat at home, so I only will dog sit dogs that are cat-friendly (i.e. no chasing, barking, etc.).
“Maria was a perfect sitter for our pup; daily walks, lots of love and patience, photos sent to us daily. We will definitely book with Maria again if we are going to be away. I feel as though I've found a friend and I know our dog shares that view.”
“KJ went above and beyond to make our quirky, anxious pup comfortable. She was great communicator and our dog had a wonderful time! Will definitely use her again!”
“Bonnie was so great with Cedar, we knew he was happy and well cared for. So happy we found a great place for Cedar to visit when we need the extra help.”
“Our puppy Gambit could not have had better hosts while we were on vacation for a week over Fourth of July. Gambit was treated to hikes and backyard romps with his dog buddy, Gunner, brushing, bathing, and extra love and attention to sooth his fireworks distress. As a dog owners on vacation, Peter and Missy took care of us by providing wonderful photos, daily updates, and prompt answers to all our questions. Overall, it worked out perfectly. We are lucky to have found Peter, Missy, and Gunner. We are planning our next vacation now, just so Gambit can come back and visit!”
“Elliott was the perfect fit for our elder dog this week. Even though she's never been to a boarder, she responded immediately to Elliot like she already knew him. Elliott immediately calmed our dog's (and her owners') anxiety! She came home happy and healthy.”
“Paul and Arnel were the best hosts! They were excellent communicators, sent us tons of pics of our boy, and did so many fun things with him. It really felt like they made him part of their family. I would highly recommend them to any pup parent.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our cat, Atlas, during the two weeks we were out of the country. We really appreciated your daily updates and the care and attention you gave him throughout his stay. Your cat room was delightful, and it was wonderful to know that Atlas felt so comfortable and happy while we were away. We truly appreciate everything you did for him and would absolutely use your cat boarding services again. Thank you for taking such great care of our little guy!”

“Maya was communicative, punctual and professional. My kitties and apartment were both well cared for. I will book with her again without hesitation.”
“Camille and Shayla were amazing with my cat, and are very lovely people. My cat is very shy towards new people, and they respected his boundaries. He came out of his shell after a few days of them stopping by. I appreciated their detailed reports.”
“Gera was so amazing. My cat was well fed and had a lot of fun hanging out with Gera. Im so glad to find someone who i could trust taking care of my baby when im not home.”
“Jessica was an amazing cat sitter! She went above and beyond with her detailed notes and photos every day, leaving us confident that our cat was in good hands while we were away. We also really appreciated her enrichment activities and all the play time she gave our cat. I can’t recommend her services enough if you want someone who is attentive and caring for your pet. 😊”
“Alison was dependable, diligent, and kind! It's a nice feeling to know that you can leave your little one for a trip and that they will be taken care of properly. Thanks again Alison!”
“Maleah was so conscientious and kind to my fur babies while I was away. She showed up as agreed and doted on my angels. Even the shy one came out frequently for love. She sent daily pictures too which was reassuring. A really good start to my Rover adventures!”
“Max is amazing with all three of our pets, he left the house looking better than we had it and is amazing at keeping up with communication. We received professional grade photos everyday of our pets while we were away and some videos too. We fully trust Max to watch our pets again.”
“Angela was very diligent, helpful and friendly. She kept the kitty happy and well-fed, and took a load off my mind as well. Would use her again for sure. Thanks!”
“I’ve used Karly now three times as my cat-sitter while away to take care of my two cats, and just recently, for two weeks while out of the country. She’s great!! She makes sure my two babies are well taken care of - she’s gotten to know both of their personalities and tends to both of their needs (one’s playfulness and the other’s snuggles/pets)! She goes above and beyond and also considers me and the house while gone out of the country (by taking out the trash on trash day for example). She’s also a great communicator and I feel at ease trusting her to take care of both my cats and my home while away!”
“Briana was an amazing sitter for my cat. She is very communicative and was so attentive to my cat. Briana was easy to get a hold of and she replied very quickly. My cat adored her and loved playing with her. I would 1000% book her again!”
“Holden took such wonderful care of my sweet girl Bella while I was away. I appreciated how they gave her so much attention and admiration - it made me feel reassured that she was getting the right care & affection, beyond her basic needs.”
“Amanda continues to be an amazing sitter for my cat. She’s available and willing and always sends photos while I’m away. It’s such a peace of mind knowing my little fur ball is taken care of and in good hands. Thank you, Amanda!”
“I have now used Charles 3 times. He is my absolute best and favorite cat sitter. He is always on time, communicates well, and covers all the basic cat care needs. What puts him above everyone else is that I believe he truly loves all he does- can caring for cats be someone’s calling? Apparently so! My cat also absolutely adores him.”
“Kaylin is awesome! She is extremely communicative and kind and my cat Penny was really well taken care of by her. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. 💜”
“Carmen was so accommodating and kind when watching Ollie. Her communication was great and very appreciated, I would certainly have her watch my cat again. Thank you!!”
“Laura has been incredible!! When I went back to work in office I was so worried about our pets being home and she’s taken amazing care of our dog each week with walks and now our kitty when we go out of town. Super responsible and genuinely loves animals. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years and have also taken care of farm animals. I genuinely love animals. I am currently applying to PhD programs. I love the environment and animals and hope to be able to walk your dog! I live near a wonderful dog park and love my neighborhood. I also know how to make dogs feel comfortable as they meet new people and are exposed to others. I am flexible and am open to odd hours of the day. I also really believe in making pets feel as though they are at home and with their owners. Thank you for the opportunity to care after your doggo! I really look forward to meeting you and your dog. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have my own pet at home, so caring for animals is already woven into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I build my schedule around making sure every pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship, just as I do for my own. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and boarding, so my approach adjusts to each situation. In a client’s home, I follow their routines closely — feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions to keep things familiar and low-stress. When pets stay in my home for boarding, I treat them like my own: safe spaces, regular potty breaks, and plenty of supervision throughout the day.
“Kris helped us out last minute to take care of our two doggos who were out of their routine and did not love being in a hotel. They played. He kept them cool during the heat wave. He sent pics of two very happy doggos and they were so tired and happy when we picked them up. Thanks so much!”
“Chelsea has been awesome with my pups, and they love playing with her dogs as well. Their stay has been great. They’re tuckered out and happy every day I’ve picked them up after daycare 💞”
“We are so incredibly happy to have found Signe! She took the time to meet us and patiently listened to all of our pup, Nikola's care instructions before the stay. She has been so loving and compassionate towards our (very anxious) doggo. She has made sure that Nikola gets the love and attention that he needs, and we could tell by Nikola's big smile when we picked him up from Signe. We will certainly be rebooking her!”
“Megan is fantastic! I needed last minute care for my anxious pup and they were very accommodating and asked all the important questions/great with the details. Ned loved his stay and will use them again for sure!”
“Catherine has been amazing with our little one and we couldn’t be happier with the services she provides. She’s quick to respond and provides updates throughout the day. We have used her for doggie daycare that has been both short (3h) and long (13h) and have already booked future stays with her.”
“Thank you for watching after Hershel! Hannah and her husband are absolutely wonderful and reliable. Scheduled his first day care and all went smoothly with updates and pictures. Hershel looked like he had a blast and I feel more at ease knowing my dog was in safe hands.”
“Michael was a lifesaver today on Super short notice (my sitter cancelled last minute) he was very quick to reply, extremely friendly and professional, but best of all.. my dogs absolutely Loved him. I have an English bulldog w anxiety/separation issues and a mix doodle who is shy and full of energy at the same time. When I picked them up both were happy and my bulldog ran back for more scratches and play. That said everything i needed to know.. Will Def be rebooking next time I'm in town. Thank you again Michael!!”
“Very impressed with the genuine care and communication from Zo. My dog Bodhi can be rather anxious, so I was rather worried about how he would do meeting Zo for the first time. I had visions of him pacing around and barking. Instead I received pictures of him totally chilled out, relaxing and napping in the sunshine Highly recommend.”
“Storm takes a bit of time to get comfortable in new environments with new people, but she seemed to settle in easily with Gil and Peaches! We are so thankful they are patient with her separation anxiety and welcome her on daycare days!”
“Kathy has this amazing warm vibe and our elderly pug warmed up to her immediately. She was the perfect sitter for our finicky old lady and I cannot recommend her enough! She is fantastic!”
“Linda was amazing! She took excellent care of my pug and always sent updates and pictures. She has a great yard and wonderful neighborhood. We are very pleased with Linda’s care. Will definitely be contacting her for our future dog care needs.”
“We tried the drop in service today and it gave me such piece of mind knowing Dash was entertained rather than sitting at home alone. Tommy was quick to respond and very accommodating. Dash came home happy and sleepy. A++”

“Eric has provided great walks for my pup Macy! His communication is very timely and I have appreciated his flexibility with my work schedule. I would highly recommend him for any of your pet care needs!”
About: As a pet parent to two dogs and a cat, I know firsthand how important it is to maintain a pet's daily routine in their own comfortable environment. Because I work from home, I bring my flexible schedule directly to you, providing dedicated sitting and drop-in care without leaving your pets alone for long hours. You can relax knowing your home will be respected and your animals will receive attentive companionship, regular exercise, and plenty of love. I'm currently working from home with a flexible schedule so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available weekends, most afternoons and evenings. I'll stick to your pet's routine in their own home, giving your fur baby the company/exercise they need and giving you peace of mind while you're away!
“Jess has been a fantastic and trustworthy dog walker for us for over two years. Rain or shine, she is reliable and a great friend to our dog, who can be triggered to other dogs while out on walks. I feel very comfortable with our dog in her care. I wouldn't use any other dog walker at this point!”
“Kai was amazing with Wednesday and made it a lot easier for me to relax and not worry about my fur baby while I am away! They were communicative and thoughtful throughout the whole process.”
“Nick is the best! He’s reliable, kind, and our pup LOVES him. Looking forward to more walks soon. I can’t recommend Krissy and Nicholas highly enough!”
“Nell is so wonderful and clearly so knowledgeable about pet care. You can tell she really loves animals. My anxious rescue pup adores her! Highly, highly recommend! I am so thankful I found her!”
“Jessica is fantastic!! My address wasn’t updated in the app, and she was kind enough to drive from my old home to my new place. She definitely took more than 30 mins out of her day to walk my dog, and I was so appreciative!! Took lots of photos and looks like Kona had a blast ❤️”
“Jaycen was great! Trustworthy and dependable. I appreciated the time he took to update me on my babes every time he took them out as well as the photos! Will definitely use again!”
“Carlie has been really awesome with dog walking for my pup, Gus, during the work day. Gus is reactive towards other 4-legged creatures, and Carlie has been doing a great job with giving him quality walks while managing their encounters with others. Carlie has also been consistent time-wise and reliable so far.”
“Ursula is the best! She has walked my dog twice since my injury. She confirms walks very quickly and has great availability. She can handle my dog reactive pup :)”
“Momo is a 95lb bundle of love. He wants to share that love with everyone he meets, and say hi to all the cats and squirrels! Angela was able to walk, and appreciate our sweet crazy dog! She even handled our dog and a loose pit bull running down the street! Angela is an amazing, awesome dog walker!”
“Christopher did a great job I would hire him again and again. I can tell when my dog has done a brisk walk or has had a stroll. Each time Christopher walked my dog she was tuckered out in the evening. He went above and beyond. Christopher had great communication and came on time.”
“Needed a dog walker for the first time ever and was nervous. Torri was great, even came over a week before to meet me and my dog. He was happy as a clam when I got home and it was comforting knowing he was in good hands.”
“Mark was fantastic with Oso and was good at being firm but gentle. Oso seemed happy and pleasantly tired! Definitely would have Mark walk him again and would recommend Mark!”
“Susan was professional and kind to my dog. She asked the right questions and my pup was happy after she met her and her walk. I also love the pictures she took today.”

“Love love love it all that they provided to our Tofu❤️Absolutely recommend Linda and her family hosting your fur babies. Our Tofu spent his best two weeks at their place with lots of walks, treats, and even baths when needed. They asked many questions before hand to get to know Tofu and arranged a visit as well. It was such a relief for us during our international trip where we had no access to text messages and major social media. However, Linda still offered to contact us via WhatsApp in order to send daily updates.”
“KJ went above and beyond to make our quirky, anxious pup comfortable. She was great communicator and our dog had a wonderful time! Will definitely use her again!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our cat, Atlas, during the two weeks we were out of the country. We really appreciated your daily updates and the care and attention you gave him throughout his stay. Your cat room was delightful, and it was wonderful to know that Atlas felt so comfortable and happy while we were away. We truly appreciate everything you did for him and would absolutely use your cat boarding services again. Thank you for taking such great care of our little guy!”
“We hit the jackpot with Zo and Margaret!!! My girl is timid, has a sensitive tummy, and goes on a hunger strike every time I leave. Not only did Margaret and Zo treat her like the queen she is, they loved and pampered her like their own. I came home to a relaxed pup who was hesitant to leave (why would she want to?!)! There are no words adequate enough to convey my gratitude to Zo and Margaret. Their excellent care of my girl, their timely communication, and their highly evident love of animals allowed me to relax and enjoy a trip with my family. I am forever grateful!”
“Kristen and her partner are the best! We had our pup stay at their house while we traveled for the week. Her communication was excellent- providing updates with photos every day, it was something our family always looked forward to. It was clear that our pup was happy at their home - large backyard to play in, lovely walks in the neighborhood, a space to hide upon hearing fireworks, lovely humans to keep him company. Highly recommend!!”
“Tammy was great - super responsive communicator, sent lots of updates, and was easy to work with to figure out logistics. We appreciate the great care she provided!”
“Elizabeth and Sterling were fantastic. I booked last minute without much time for a meet and greet, and not only did they oblige and still meet same day, they made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with them. Their dog Lilo is such a sweetheart as well! They provided updates and exercise and I knew my pup was in good hands. Thank you so much for your great care! And I'm sorry again for the late plane arrival on my return!”
“Maggie took such incredible care of Indie! He had a great time going on walks, playing with her dog Ellie, and lounging around the home. Maggie gave us regular updates and was super communicative. Couldn’t recommend her enough. We will absolutely be booking with Maggie the next time we’re out of town.”
“Hope is absolutely incredible at taking care of dogs. She had Margo for over a week and it was the best experience for both our dog and us. We got consistent updates from Hope and I really appreciated the opportunity to meet with Hope and her dog beforehand to ensure our dogs would get along. I also really appreciated that she did not take on multiple dogs at the same time so our dog could get the attention and care she needs. I will definitely be using Hope again in the future!”
