“Lilia is an amazing dog sitter! She sent tons of pictures of our pups playing, walking and cuddling. They looked so happy! When we got them back they were in great moods and we could tell they’d gotten enough exercise. We would have Lilia watch them again anytime!!! Thank you, Lilia!”

“Erika did an excellent job watching after our Peppercorn. Regular photo and video updates and our dog had plenty of other dogs to play with throughout her stay.”
“Aimee was great as always with our little fluffball. She went above and beyond to take care of Coda as well as provide a fun, playful space for him to play with other fur pals who also joined him during the holiday. Coda is definitely missing his fun crew for sure! Until next time!”
“Ryan and Val watched our furbaby while we were out of town. They sent plenty of photos and updates. They were also super flexible for pick up when our flight was delayed. We feel so lucky to have found them in Austin. Will definitely use them the next time we have a trip.”

“Denise was excellent! She took Waffles in last minute when I was in a pinch and sent me several photo updates. I was afraid Waffles wouldn’t want to come home! Highly recommend Denise!”

About: I grew up with multiple dogs all my life. I have experience training sight-guide dogs. I have pet sat for dogs, cats, bunnies, and birds before. I currently work 5 days a week Sunday-Thursday from 2-10pm, so on those days so your pet will have about 8 hours alone **with the exception that Wednesdays I work 9 hours**. After work and the weekends, I love taking pets out on walk/doing enrichment in the home when I am with them! I live on a second floor apartment so your pet will need to be able to go up and down stairs. I have 1 bedroom with a good amount of space and sun spots for them to play and lay out.
“Brett was great during our last minute trip. He was super communicative and sent pictures and updates of Pinky pie every day. She seemed to have settled in fine and had fun with her new friends. He also reassured me when she had some tummy issues after coming back home, which was appreciated.”
“Absolutely fantastic. It was our first time using this service and they exceeding expectations and were super easy to work with. Will use them again no questions asked :)”
“Michelle was fantastic with our girl Lily. Highly recommend her to take great care of your little one. Traveling for work for the week and never worried that my little one wasn’t taken care of. She sent updates and pics and had excellent communication. I couldn’t ask for anything more to feel secure with leaving my furry family member for the week. Her dog is super sweet too!”
“Having Bourbon board with Giovanna was an absolute delight. They got to meet ahead of time and he took to her immediately. He can be anxious and he takes time getting comfortable with strangers, but within 20 minutes they were already bonding. She was very responsive and communicative throughout this experience. She sent the right amount of updates, so I was able to enjoy my time away without any worries. After 5 days with her, he barely wanted to come back home with me! I would highly recommend Giovanna as a boarder if you are looking for a safe and loving environment for your pups.”
“Barbara took the absolute best care of my dog. This was my first time using Rover and I was definitely a little apprehensive to leave my previous baby with her but she is an experienced dog sitter and made my dog feel right at home. I also greatly appreciated all the pics she sent me everyday. Highly recommend Barbara!”

She seemed very comfortable with my cat Gibson during our meet and greet, and he was happy and content when we got home! I also loved the detailed notes and photos she provided throughout the stay. Overall, a great experience, and I would definitely book with her again!”
“she was so sweet and patient with my little kittens! Definitely the best Rover I’ve ever had, and I could tell she really enjoyed her time with them as I got so many pictures and commentary about my sweet girls. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of professional pet care experience. I worked for a local pet care business in my hometown of Atlanta, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. Since I don’t currently have pets of my own, I love any opportunity to spend time with furry friends and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work primarily from home (I’m only in the office on Wednesdays, and even then my schedule is flexible), which means I can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for both daytime care and overnight stays. If your dog has lots of energy, even better! I’m an avid runner and would be happy to take active pups on runs in addition to regular walks to help them stay happy and exercised. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for yours as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I work mostly remotely so I can house sit or stop by for long walks, feedings, etc. My schedule is flexible most days of the week. I typically prefer caring for pets in their own home because I believe animals are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I make it a priority to stick to your pet’s normal routine—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and bedtime—so they experience as little disruption as possible while you’re away. That said, if your dog is comfortable with apartment living, I’m also happy to welcome them into my home! I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care, just as they would in their own space.
“Julia is a pet expert. My cat loves interacting with her, and he has done all the tasks perfectly! Definitely recommend contacting her when you have travel plans and need someone to take care of your cat! 😻”
“Raven is a wonderful sitter! While watching our kitten , Zelda, Raven was very communicative, sent lots of photos, and followed care instructions perfectly. Our kitty was well cared for while we were away and clearly bonded with Raven. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“Nicky goes above and beyond!! She always gives me detailed updates during her visits and I know that she’s taking good care of my cat while I’m away. I’ve had bad Rover experiences in the past so it’s been great to find someone that I trust. She is the best!”
“Taylor was amazing with my animals while I was away and I would book with her again. She was through with her visit updates to let me know how everything was going and asking any necessary questions.”

About: For 13 years I've taken care of dogs, cats, river turtles, hamsters and snakes (yeah 😂). Literally count me in for anything you need 🤍 I'm a morning person so, in case you're running late for work, I'll take care of the angel ✨ My schedule is very open at the moment. Currently available to work at your home and make the most out of it. I also like them to socialize so, if beach or park is accessible nearby, I like to have them walk around and meet other angels 🙏🏻🤍
“First time leaving my doge alone with someone who isn’t a best friend or blood related so this was a scare for me from the start tbh, but Amanda and Jared were super great! They were reassuring and welcoming throughout the whole process and sent photos every day I was gone multiple times a day and also even when I randomly asked bc professional paranoia is my superpower. They’re in a solid neighborhood with a wonderfully tall and sturdy (and pretty nice looking) backyard fence where pups hangout and everything. I definitely recommend them for anyone but especially for those Rover newcomers. Thank you so much Amanda and Jared. Y’all were awesome.”
“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”
“Y'all were so welcoming and so sweet to puppy sit my little one and on a short notice as well! Thank you so much! Clara went straight to bed when she got home haha, I'm sure she had a really great time playing with Oli and Luna and your daughter. Thank again! Hope to see y'all again in the future!:)”

The constant updates with photos and videos made my day and gave me total peace of mind. I will definitely be using her services again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kara is fantastic! If I could add more stars I would. Everything I was looking for and more!! I have 2 high maintenance babies and she takes such good care of them at doggy daycare. I receive tons of pictures and some videos too which I ADORE! It truly makes me feel so much better while I’m at work because I know my angels are towing loved and taken care of. Thanks Kara and family! You have made such a huge difference in our lives already ❤️.”

“Stephanie is a godsend and I'm so grateful to have found her. I feel 100% confident that my dog is safe and happy in her care. Thank you for opening up your home and being so communicative.

About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of animals all my life. I have a 9 year old cat and 15 month old dog. They are my pride and joy. I also have experience with elderly dogs and cats.

I also have a 15 month old pup who I take for walks at least 3 times a day. He’s great with other dogs both small and large and he lives with a cat. He’ll keep your pets company.

“Elizabeth and Adrian were absolutely amazing with Nala! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. They were caring, attentive, and made sure she felt comfortable and loved throughout her daycare stay. Nala had an absolute blast, especially making a new furry best friend, Niki! It was so heartwarming to see how much fun she had playing, socializing, and coming home happy and tired after a full day of adventures. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our girl. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll definitely be booking with you again. Highly recommend Elizabeth and Adrian to anyone looking for kind, trustworthy, and loving pet caregivers!”
“They were fabulous!!! My dog Inez loved playing with their pup Willy and I got several pics and videos throughout the day. She seemed very tired and content when she got home!

This was my first time using Rover with my newly adopted bonded senior girls, and she was so kind, reassuring, and communicative from the meet-and-greet through their entire stay. She sent daily updates, photos, and videos that gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear she cared for my girls as if they were her own. They also loved spending time with Moose, and her wonderful backyard! I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience and will absolutely be booking with her again. 10/10—highly recommend Margaret!”
“Mitchell was so great with our dog while she stayed with him. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos. We could tell from the videos that our dog was truly comfortable and happy in his care. Mitchell watched our dog over the 4th of July, which made us a little anxious at first, but we were not worried at all after our initial meet and greet and seeing how much Mitchell cared for our girl. We felt that he treated our dog like his own (we even thought our dog wouldn’t want to come back home with us, haha). I would highly recommend Mitchell to anyone needing care for their pet.”

She kept me updated daily with awesome pictures, and she took Charlie on tons of adventures. In fact he seemed to be having so much fun, I was sure he didn't miss me a bit! I will definitely use her on a regular basis, I know he had a blast. Also Charlie was recovering from being sick and she was great about it! Highly recommended.”
