“Aimee is a perfect dogsitter. Thoughtful, considerate, and so very loving to our chihuahua. We trust her endlessly with our dog, and we will always book with her if she’s available.”
“Joel was great! He took such good care of Joey. It was my first time leaving him in the care of someone else as I was traveling overseas and his consistent updates and photos kept me at ease and I saw that my cat was really happy and thriving and having such a great time. I would certainly book him again and I highly recommend him. He’s so caring, attentive, detail oriented, and I would love to board Joey with him again!”
“Jen is the best! She takes such good care of our little senior dog. She knows so much about dogs and is great about personalizing their needs that make them happy. Thanks again, Jen!”
“Sarah is the best! I've never used a service before but Sarah eased all my fears. Her communication is impeccable and I could see in the photos how comfortable my baby boy was with her. 10 out of 10 will use Sarah again!”
“Juni had a great time with Cassandra and Jason. This was her first time sharing a space with a cat and they were happy to organize a meet and greet prior to her stay. It’s clear they have a lot of experience caring for dogs. Juni can be a bit hesitant but she warmed to them quickly and appeared to make herself at home in their care!”
“Artemis doesn’t typically have zoomies at home but when she was boarding with Lilia she had the zoomies. This was clear sign that she had a fun time with Lilia and the other small dogs. Lilia is amazing at taking care of all them and making them feel at home. This was the first time I ever left Artemis with anyone for an extended period of time and I’m so glad Lilia was available to watch her. I highly recommend Lilia and her services!!”

“Marissa was a wonderful host to my girl. I get frequent updates, pictures, and videos of my pup playing and looking happy as a clam. I felt very fortunate to have had such an awesome sitter for my dog and peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely recommend Marissa for a short or long term stay!”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Nino. I truly appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and videos, they gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and exercise. Nino was clearly well cared for and loved. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter.”

“Madeline was so sweet and made me feel at ease leaving my dog with her. She was very accommodating and quick to respond. Would definitely use her again”
“Eddie was phenomenal with Kai. Kai can be pretty high energy but Eddie was great about finding time to take him out on walks even during a Rainy weekend. Felt super comfortable having Kai stay at their house for the weekend with all the great pupdates. Would definitely book with Eddie again in the future”
“Hanna totally rocks! From the very start in booking, to picking up my dog, she was wonderful to work with. She is a great communicator and continually sent fun updates to keep me posted. I highly suggest Hanna for a 5-star experience :)”

“Alice was able to accommodate my urgent request after another sitter canceled on me last minute. She was very flexible and communicative providing regular updates along with pictures. She did an amazing job caring for Macaroni and I will be using her for any future requests. I highly recommend Alice to care for your pet!”
“Our dog Archie absolutely loved staying with Wilson, Jessica, and their pup Winnie! They kept us updated with so many amazing and adorable photos! Their care of our pup was above and beyond. We will use them again!”

About: Personally I have 3 cats that are long haired goofballs with big personalities. I am comfortable with all different kinds of cats growing up around them. I have also dealt with fostering, rescuing and bottle feeding.
“I highly recommend and thankful for Ramajana. She was always on time for each visit, gave our cats playtime and attention, and made sure to walk through everything with us on a call beforehand. Being away for a bit over a week can be stressful, but she made it so much easier by sending updates and adorable photos of our cats. I felt completely at ease knowing they were being cared for so well.”
“Brandy was wonderful! She always made sure to update us when she visited the kitties and sent pictures of how they were doing. Will definitely reach out to her again in the future and can’t recommend her enough! :)”
“Meg did a great job with my kitty cats! I’ve had her as a sitter two times so far, and I’ve always come home to happy healthy kitties and a clean home. She’s good about replying quickly, and about sending pictures of them at each visit (even got some action shots of play time!). She did everything that I asked (fed them, gave them clean water, cleaned the litter box, and played with them), plus she even took out the trash when it got full! Overall I would recommend Meg as a sitter :)”
“Natalie was a joy to have she took great care of our little cat. When glass was broken she cleaned it up and checked our cat’s paws for glass. She gave great updates and sent some great snapshots of Zinc!”
“Claire is awesome! I have booked her for drop-in visits for my cat multiple times and every time I get pictures of him happily being brushed or purring on the carpet (his favorite place). She has cleaned his litter box multiple times, taken out the trash, and also cleaned up the little accidents he sometimes has when he's home alone. She is professional, a good communicator, has good availability, and I always come home to a happy, healthy cat. Claire is great, and I will keep booking with her as long as she is on Rover!”

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have cared for over five dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages with my family. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I understand how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs and personality. I love spending time playing, walking, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Whether it’s belly rubs, outdoor play, or quiet company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and happy! Besides dogs, I love all animals! I have had bunnies and birds before and know how to take care of them! I work remotely full-time, which which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout their stay. My daily routine is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, medication routines, and regular check-ins. I like to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Whether they need active play, quiet company, extra patience, or a calm space to relax, I do my best to adjust my day around their comfort and needs! I live in a spacious apartment that offers plenty of room for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well supervised! I got my two friendly American Shorthair cats at home, so I’m very mindful about introductions, boundaries, and each pet’s comfort level. I always take time to understand how each pet does around other animals! If a pet needs their own space, quiet time, or a slower introduction, I make sure they have a calm area where they can relax. I keep the environment clean, organized, and peaceful so every pet feels cared for during their stay!
“Alison is a great doggy sitter! My dog Olipop absolutely adores her. She communicates well, and it’s very apparent she loves dogs. Love the photo updates she sends! :)”
“Aimee was so sweet with my little Remi and gave the greatest updates while she had her. Remi took to her immediately and looks forward to her longer stay while I’m out of town soon. I will definitely continue to book, she’s perfect for small pups!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special care instructions. I treat every dog like family and provide regular photo updates so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine as I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home. I can provide regular attention, feeding, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. At my home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment, providing attentive supervision, consistent care, and respectful handling to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have two large, well-trained pups who are part of our family. Because I work from home, I’m able to give dogs tons of structure, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I’m experienced with big breeds, puppies, anxious dogs, dogs with food sensitivities, and dogs needing consistent routines. I genuinely love caring for animals and treat every dog like they’re one of my own. I work from home full-time, so I’m home throughout the day and can give your pup consistent attention, potty breaks, and playtime. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to accommodate early mornings, evenings, and most last-minute requests. Since I’m always around, your dog will never be left alone for long periods — they’ll get tons of company and care. Your dog will be in a calm, comfortable, and safe environment. I have two friendly, well-socialized big dogs (a Great Dane and an American Staffordshire Terrier) who love having buddies to play or relax with. I’m very experienced with large breeds, anxious pups, and dogs with allergies or specific routines. I can crate if needed, separate dogs for feeding, follow detailed instructions, and supervise outdoor time at all times. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Our puppy Milo loved it!! Aisling was super nice And sent us updates pictures throughout the day. Milo smiled in all of them! Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Chris and Callan were absolutely wonderful. They helped me at the last minute with daycare and were friendly, flexible, and responsible. My dog, Sevi, seemed to feel immediately at home in their house, even venturing up the stairs on her own to explore minutes after I dropped her. She came back at the end of the day happily tired and calm.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with two dogs and currently have a pup of my own. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, getting plenty of exercise, providing extra cuddles, or simply offering a calm place to relax, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’ve had experience dog sitting for friends and family and always enjoy having an extra furry friend around the house. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away, so I’m committed to providing reliable care and regular updates while your dog is with me. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work a flexible schedule and am able to work from home on Fridays. Because of that flexibility, I can often adjust my schedule to meet a dog’s needs and provide extra supervision when necessary. I’m available for boarding most weekends and can typically accommodate stays from Thursday through Monday. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. Providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment is my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a friendly dog of my own, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get their energy out. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home and follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions.
“We’re so grateful for Rachele, who took a last minute request to watch our mini Aussie for 3 days. Piper always came home happy and tired, from a fun day of walks and play. I got lots of updates and cute photos. We’ll definitely be rebooking. Thank you, Rachele 🥰”
“Kristina took excellent care of both of my dogs, they came home happy and tired from playing! I would definitely trust Kristina with them again. Thank you so much for your care and attention to them.”
About: I had an older dog for four years that I love to take care of. I am flexible with the activity levels of your pets. I work remotely. My job is flexible, so I work from my home or somewhere else. I also am flexible on weekends for pet care. My complex is in a safe area and has an accessible walking trail. I have reliable transportation to get me to and from client’s home.
“Jessica was an amazing dog sitter for us and we HIGHLY recommend anyone use her. She sent us photos and took amazing care of our dog while we were on vacation. We would be thrilled to book with Jessica in the future!”
“Olof comes back nice and tired after a day with Priscilla. He can be a pretty lazy dog sometimes, but when he’s outside he’s super active-with my busy schedule I know he appreciates the extra stimulation to help with his anxiety. Hes happy to see her and drop off/pick up is always easy.”
“We were visiting Austin and needed a last minute sitter. Brandon was very communicative and it was great that Teddy was there for Pickles to play with while we were gone!”
“Lindsey was great. She was able to accommodate my schedule and sent photo and videos throughout the day. Cooper came back tired after all the fun he had!”
“Caitlin was amazing! She was very communicative and kept me updated the entire time she was watching our pup Lucy! I could tell that Lucy was very well taken care of and got lots of love during her stay. She sent a ton of pictures and was very flexible with our pick up and drop off times. Will definitely be using her again! Thanks Caitlin!”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and truly love having their playful, loving energy in my home. I have a friendly 2 year old pup, Renni, who has never met a dog she didn’t become best friends with so visiting pups always have a sweet playmate. I’m home full-time, which means plenty of supervision, attention, and multiple potty breaks and walks throughout the day, including trips to the dog park right outside my door. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like they’re at their home away from home! I am currently in a career transition which means I’m at home full time! I can accommodate your sweet pup’s routine, whether we are in couch potato mode or exploring the great outdoors! I can maintain your dogs daily schedule so that they are as comfortable as can be! I have a dog park directly outside my building that I take my dog to several times a day! If dog parks aren’t the right fit, I also have a great neighborhood walking trail to stretch our legs. My dog sleeps in the crate some nights and on her bed in the living room other nights so however your dog is comfortable, I can accommodate!
About: Hi, I’m Maggie I’m a lover of all kinds of animals. I’m a rover pet-sitting veteran, coming back after being on a long break due to a busy work schedule and very senior pup. I’m excited to be back and make some new furry friends. I have 2 English Springer Spaniels that are mostly well-trained, incredibly friendly, and like to play hard, and I also have a cat who enjoys the confines of the master closet but comes out on occasion for snacks and love. (They stay home with my husband while I'm housesitting.) BUT being that I’m a pet owner who dedicates a lot of my time and energy to making sure my pets have the best life ever, I understand what it’s like to leave your pet at home while you travel and how stress-inducing that can be for both pet and owner. So my goal as a pet sitter is to make sure your pet gets lots of love and the same care they would receive while you’re home, and you will receive as much communication and updates as you wish. Some add'l info: - I offer dog sitting during the day and overnights at my place for select dogs. - My housesitting fee $100/n is for up to 3 dogs. Any pets after will be additional. Shoot me a message if you have any questions! I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the day. I do prefer to walk dogs early in the mornings and evenings in the summer, but if you live an an apartment I understand the challenge. I take the same safety precautions I would with my own pets, I’m pretty good at following rules and making sure anything not pet friendly is out of reach. I do have a fenced in yard.

About: Since I was a child I have taken care of 2-3 dogs in one home and multiple cats with my family. All different types of dogs, fostering and rescuing animals when we could. Love to maintain healthy and clean animals so that they can live their best lives and feel loved! I am currently a fire fighter and looking for a side job. I am off for few days out of the week and want to be active and be around animals. I am currently taking care of my cats indoor to protect them from this heat. Often getting fresh water and have family dogs that like to go outside but stay cool so I often have little dog pools set up! I am okay with taking them outside or keeping them inside for some safe fun!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels — from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort. I understand that every dog is different, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away.

“Daniel is fantastic! He is great with pets, very responsive and is a great communicator. I am grateful that I found him so close to me. I will definitely continue to request him when needs arise.”
“Heather was the first dog walker I've ever hired to walk my dog Molasses. In the beginning I was pretty nervous since I didn't know how Lass would do with someone else walking her and having a new person in my apartment while I was gone. Heather was great because she offered to do a meet and great before out 1st scheduled walk to make Lass and myself feel comfortable. I'm so grateful for this meet up! Lass loves Heather and their walks. Between the super cute photos I get and the love that my dog receives, I couldn't ask for a better walker!”

“I was out of town and just landed in a different time zone when I receive a text from the person I had lined up to watch my dog canceled for health reasons. I threw out some Hail Mary's and Jaime came thru for us! The next day he checked in and asked if Cí Du was good. I really appreciate that! He was very flexible. Especially when the app had issues with time zone differences (VPNs effect it as well). I made the executive decision to overbook him, just incase anything else came up. Better for The Du to have too much attention than none at all, emirate? Jaime was a life saver! Definitely a go-to in the future!”

“Madeline was so sweet and made me feel at ease leaving my dog with her. She was very accommodating and quick to respond. Would definitely use her again”
“Eddie was phenomenal with Kai. Kai can be pretty high energy but Eddie was great about finding time to take him out on walks even during a Rainy weekend. Felt super comfortable having Kai stay at their house for the weekend with all the great pupdates. Would definitely book with Eddie again in the future”
“Hanna totally rocks! From the very start in booking, to picking up my dog, she was wonderful to work with. She is a great communicator and continually sent fun updates to keep me posted. I highly suggest Hanna for a 5-star experience :)”
“Alice was able to accommodate my urgent request after another sitter canceled on me last minute. She was very flexible and communicative providing regular updates along with pictures. She did an amazing job caring for Macaroni and I will be using her for any future requests. I highly recommend Alice to care for your pet!”
“Our dog Archie absolutely loved staying with Wilson, Jessica, and their pup Winnie! They kept us updated with so many amazing and adorable photos! Their care of our pup was above and beyond. We will use them again!”
“Morgan is amazing!!! She boarded our cat over Thanksgiving and was incredibly flexible when we had to extend another night due to travel delays. Morgan is highly communicative, responsible and reliable. Would definitely book again!”
“Chance had a blast with Abigail! She and her partner made him feel right at home and sent me updates and photos the whole time, which I really appreciated! I will absolutely be reaching out to her again for future dog sitting needs :)”
“Great to have a big place for Modelo to interact with other dogs and play for the weekend. Great communication and very convenient to Downtown Austin. Would highly recommend Bassam.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have two large, well-trained pups who are part of our family. Because I work from home, I’m able to give dogs tons of structure, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I’m experienced with big breeds, puppies, anxious dogs, dogs with food sensitivities, and dogs needing consistent routines. I genuinely love caring for animals and treat every dog like they’re one of my own. I work from home full-time, so I’m home throughout the day and can give your pup consistent attention, potty breaks, and playtime. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m able to accommodate early mornings, evenings, and most last-minute requests. Since I’m always around, your dog will never be left alone for long periods — they’ll get tons of company and care. Your dog will be in a calm, comfortable, and safe environment. I have two friendly, well-socialized big dogs (a Great Dane and an American Staffordshire Terrier) who love having buddies to play or relax with. I’m very experienced with large breeds, anxious pups, and dogs with allergies or specific routines. I can crate if needed, separate dogs for feeding, follow detailed instructions, and supervise outdoor time at all times. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and right at home.
“Sam was great with our dog and so easy to work with. He made sure our pup got all the attention and care he needed and then some—our pup was sad to have to leave. I appreciated the consistent updates and photos. We will be booking with him again.”
“Aine communicated frequently and sent lots of pictures, videos and updates. Their dog is very friendly too and their home has a nice big yard for the dogs to play.”
“David was great! Communication was clear throughout the entire process. He sent multiple pictures and videos of Junie during her visit. Even gave me a little picture of her in a frame! I will continue to come back in the future!”
“Callan and Chris were so welcoming of our dogs. They were flexible, friendly, and reassuring about our dogs who can be a bit anxious. They sent timely picture updates of our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Our old man Chris was in great hands with Cheyanne. She sent us frequent updates and was quick to notice his goofy quirks. It's clear that she loves dogs and we would definitely leave him with her again. Bonus: Cheyanne has a huge fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for doggos to romp around!”
