Highly-rated overnight sitters - Rosedale
“Lilia is great! I'm convinced she's a dog whisperer - she actually got my timid pup to play with her sweet dog, Paisley :) Lots of pics while I was away, too - would definitely recommend her!”
“Amy was great for our dog Samus, she was very communicative and kept us updated every day. Her dog is super friendly and our dog was so happy to have a friend. Highly recommend.”
“Erika was able to accommodate us on super short notice which was very helpful. She sent update photos every day, and Layla seemed happy when we picked her up! Thank you!”
“Aimee is highly attentive and communicative and did an excellent job taking care of our small dog! She sent regular updates and took our pup for plenty of walks/trips. We have used several dogsitters and Aimee is the only one where our (relatively nervous) dog was excited to arrive at her house.”
“We always count on Stephanie and her family to look after Milo when we travel. She goes above and beyond in caring for him, and we can enjoy our trips knowing that he is in good hands. He seems to love his stay at Camp Truman, and he gets a nice vacation too!”
“Tinkerbell had an awesome stay with Ashley. Ashley provided daily updates as well as pictures on how Tinkerbell was doing. I will definitely recommend Ashely to others and will use her again in the future.”
“Trevor was a wonderful sitter for our dog with some unique special needs. He treated her like family and we felt she was left in great loving care. He was attentive and patient, great at communication, and a gem to work with. We are lucky to have found him.”
“As always… we loved having Zhian watch Bo and all the pictures and communication, made our time away from him so smooth because we can tell Bo was always so happy and enjoying and feels right at home. Thank you so much for all the love and care. Bo misses you already and is looking forward to next time!”
“Our first time using Rover was a successs with Denise! She took good care of our puppy, was extremely communicative and put our nerves at ease. It’s also helpful that she has a beautiful home and backyard for our dog to still feel at home.”
“I must have done something right in a past life to have found someone as caring, amazing, and intentional as Kate to look after Princess. I got photos and videos everyday of her playing and having a good time, and she came back happy as ever. It was my first time leaving for over 2 weeks, and I was nervous, but all that went away when I saw my pup was in the best hands. I recommend to everyone.”
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.
“Cheyanne did a great job with my rescue pitbull mix, Tiffany. Tiffany is fearful of new people, selective with other dogs, and has separation anxiety. Cheyanne was extremely patient with her and made her feel right at home.”
“Yujie took wonderful care of our pups, as usual! He provided regular updates and photos, and our pups had a lot of fun and cuddles. Yujie is our go-to sitter!”
“Aine was a great sitter for Axl and her dog Fionn became besties with our dog :). We got lots of updates and pics all along. Our dog came back looking happy and healthy! Would highly recommend Aine!”
“Valerie kept our cute Murphy for 7 days. He is notoriously shy and takes a long while to warm up to people. Just after a few days he felt at home. He actually enjoyed her backyard and even walked around her house. She was patient and so loving towards him. We highly recommend Valerie and will use her again if we are lucky enough to go on another family vacation.”

“Anjana is an absolute star! I was mostly out of cell range during my trip and I knew my cat was so safe in her incredibly capable hands. She was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures! My cat is mischievous and she cleaned up several messes, gave him lots of love and made sure he was well taken care of.”
“Melissa is the best cat sitter a cat-mom could ask for! She is easy to coordinate with, very sweet, and seems to genuinely like spending time with my fur babies. She sends lots of updates and pictures during her visits which I love! This was my second time working with Melissa and I will continue to use her services whenever possible :)”

“Blanca and her daughter were very sweet and patient with my shy cat, and she communicated throughout her visits, providing me with photos and videos while I was away. She also took care of my home - watering my plants and cleaning up messes my cat made while I was away. I would highly recommend her and would rebook her for future drop in visits.”
“Joan was the absolute sweetest when caring my girl Toothless. She was so communicative, thorough, and paid so much attention to detail when I wasn’t able to on this busy trip away. I love how she would include some many pictures from the check in and was very descriptive about each visit. I could not recommend her more to care for your pets!”
“Nina was a wonderful sitter for my kitty, (also named) Nina! She made time to meet us beforehand and clearly had experience with cats :) she brought over calming energy and sent sweet photos of lap time snuggles. I was grateful for her and would easily recommend and rebook her again! thanks Nina ✨”
“Brandy is an awesome, reliable sitter! She came by for a meet up with Nessa before hand and made sure that Nessa felt comfortable with her before I left. That made me feel really secure and happy. I also got great updates that helped me feel at ease. Brandy is really the best.”
“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat while we were away, she was always on time, communicated very well and helped go above and beyond during bad storms in Austin.”
“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 :)”
“Allie was absolutely phenomenal! She took amazing care of my 2 feline babies and took so many photos and left the best and cutest notes that brought me daily joy and relief while away from home! Thank you so much!!”
“Kara is an amazing and thoughtful caretaker! We will always trust her to care for our pets and feel lucky to have found her. This was our second time using her services, and we can see her bond building with our anxious pets- she makes them feel calm and right at home. 10/10 recommend!”
“Will (Yihung) was reliable and wonderfully communicative. Sent plenty of update pictures and really took the time to make sure my kitties felt comfortable around him. Would definitely book again!”
“Sierra is the best! She was on time, responsive and Sasha absolutely loved her. She is usually a bit timid with new faces but she took to Sierra right away. It is super clear that Sierra is an animal lover & takes excellent care. It really helped me be stress free traveling this past weekend. Would absolutely book again. Thank you Sierra!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rosedale
“Wonderful! I was so nervous about my puppy staying with someone during the day, but I was so happy with Paul and Karina. They where amazing! They sent me pictures all day. I felt so safe and happy she was there. She had fun playing with other dogs and running around. I was very happy you will not be disappointed!”
“Lots of room for Nyx to play with other the other dogs. The host was professional and efficient also very nice and straight forward about what she expects. I look forward to the next time for sure”
About: Hello! My name is JJ and I'm a trail runner that decided to combine the two things I love the most: exercise and animals. I have been providing pet care for dogs, cats and other household pets full-time for over 8 years in Austin now. I am currently providing pet care full-time during the week and often have weekend availability. As a pet parent and a user of Rover pet sitters myself, I know how important good communication and reliability is when you are away from your pet family. I prioritize responding promptly to all booking requests and communication throughout the duration of booked appointments. This includes happily answering questions, sending updates and pet pictures of each visit. For me, communication, transparency and trust are key to having a worry-free workday or trip away! PET CARE: *NEW* Now offering boarding and doggie daycare. My partner and I purchased a house in North Shoal Creek and can now host up to 4 dogs. My partner, Josh Cross, is a software developer and works from home, so visiting pets will always have a human companion while I am away on walks and check-ins. I offer check-ins for dogs, cats and other household pets, to give them food, water, bathroom breaks, clean litter boxes, etc. If there is ever a package or mail by the door, I always bring it inside, as well. WALKS: If your dog(s) just need a potty break and some exercise, I’m more than happy to go for 30-60 minute walks. I typically use my own waist leash, but I can use your leash, if preferred, and I have a tandem leash attachment to take two dogs for an outing together, if needed. RUNS: For dogs that like to run, I can jog at your dogs pace for 30-60 minutes. Slow or fast, with water breaks, walk breaks, and potty breaks. On hot days, I prioritize finding the shadiest routes in the area and run in the grass when possible. For running dogs, I prefer them to wear a body harness or gentle leader, if available. *I offer a limited number of dog runs per day depending on daily volume.* My love for animals comes from growing up with a family that spoiled inside pets of many species and sizes. I cherished my own chihuahua, Zeus, of 14 years. Nowadays, I share a big, sweet super-mutt named Ozzie with my partner, Josh. I currently have weekday availability during traditional work hours, but I also have some evenings and weekends available. I don’t prefer to book recurring weekly appointments on the weekends. I regularly keep my Rover calendar updated and list the dates I’m out of town in my profile, in case I don’t have reception on vacation, usually a camping trip. I prefer to use a waist leash, which is safer and more secure than holding a leash in my hand. Please supply waste bags and any treats you would like me to give to your pet.
“Marissa was very attentive to our puppy. She went out if her way to talke extra care of her, gave her medicine and always walked her and sent us picttires. She was very responsible and easy to work with”
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 🙏🏻🤍
“Aimee was amazing! She took such good care of our pup. Always made sure she felt comfortable with her and other dogs staying with her. She also gives very detail updates, which I loved! Would recommend 100%!”
“Stephanie was awesome! She took such great care of Enzo and was great in communicating on how he was doing and sent lots of pictures. She made me feel so comfortable leaving him for the day. I highly recommend Stephanie!”
“Linda was a very responsive and convenient dogsitter, and took care of my dog Stella for a half day. She also provided many text, photo, and video updates which is appreciated.”
“Timmy had a great time with Valerie. She took excellent care of him and while he was there, she sent pictures of all the fun he was having at her home. He’s happily exhausted now and really enjoyed his stay. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup. ♥️”
“Yesenia is always the best sitter for our pup. She has wonderful communication and makes me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sends lots of photos and makes you feel reassured that your pup is in the best hands!”
“I am happy I found Elizabeth to watch over Buster! She gives him lots of love and care and treats him like family! She has a great love for animals! She gives lots of photo updates of what Buster is doing throughout the day.”
“Ashley does an incredible job with my pup, Kona. I was a bit nervous about leaving her with someone else, but Ashley made me feel really comfortable and gave me a lot of updates! She also has been incredibly flexible with my crazy schedule and accommodating with Kona's preference to only be with smaller dogs. Thanks Ashley!”
About: I've taken care of friend's and family's dogs for years! Natural dog lover at heart but unfortunately haven't been able to adopt a fur-friend of my own. Experience with shy timid dogs that need a calm friendly companion to look after them! I currently WFH so have lots of time to spend with you pups! Available for day care and boarding week days and or weekends depending on need Live without any other pets so your pup will have a calm relaxing environment to stay and roam in (plus all the undivided attention!). Can easily crate your dog too if needed
“Yujie is an incredibly responsible dog sitter. He made sure to take time to meet Monty beforehand, which helped us confirm they were a great fit and left us with a good feeling. During the visit, he took wonderful care of Monty and sent us pictures throughout the day! Monty clearly loved being with him and is eager to visit again soon.”
“Denise was so amazing with Finley. Sometimes he takes a while to warm up to people, and within an hour he was sleeping on her lap! We will definitely be using Denise again-- she has a way with animals.”
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. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, drop-ins, play sessions, and quality care for your pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may feel nervous in new environments or around new people. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible during our time together. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I make sure pets are always supervised. I’m attentive to behavior and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I have been a dog owner for 8 years and have experience with post surgery, administering medicines, and senior dogs for 2 years. I’ve watched my several of my friend’s dogs and they all get along great with Tendie! I love to play with energetic dogs and relax and snuggle with lazy dogs. I have a good sized fenced in yard for dogs of all sizes to explore and sniff to their hearts desires! I work from home so I can accommodate any special bathroom or other timing needs. Tendie is a senior dog who does very well with other dogs and mostly keeps to himself after he’s met another dog. I work from home so I can accommodate any special timing needs your dog may have. I can let a dog out in my yard anytime of day for bathroom breaks and typically go on walks around 4-5pm, but can adjust if needed. I have a fully fenced in yard and live on a quiet street away from loud traffic and busy intersections. I also have several rooms to separate any dogs if some alone time is needed.

“Really helpful! Made a last minute/same day booking work out and dealt with some navigation issues finding us. Very communicative and took great care of Teddy!”
About: I spent more than a decade loving a very large, very opinionated German Shepherd named Ruta through epilepsy, severe allergies, endless medication schedules, and his senior years, so “high-maintenance” pets don’t scare me. I tend to love them even harder. These days I’m supervised by Edwin, my mini Aussie rescue, who has strong opinions about other dogs, delivery trucks, and apparently several completely innocent squirrels. Living with him has made me very comfortable with boundaries, reactivity, slow introductions, and the fact that not every dog wants to be everybody’s friend. I’m also the person who genuinely wants the six-paragraph document explaining exactly how your dog likes breakfast. Give me the quirks, the routines, the medications, the weird little rules, the favorite toy, the thing they absolutely will not do unless you ask them in a very specific way. I want to know all of it. Basically: I take your pet seriously without taking myself too seriously. And yes, I will probably send you too many pictures. My schedule is pretty flexible, which means I can usually work around your pet’s normal routine. Walks, meals, potty breaks, meds, couch hangs; tell me what they’re used to and I’ll do my best to keep things consistent. Tell me everything. What’s their routine? What makes them nervous? Are they an escape artist? A sock eater? Do they lose their mind when a skateboard goes by? How are they on leash? I’m big on respecting a pet’s boundaries and keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I’d much rather know about a quirk or trigger ahead of time than be surprised by it later.
About: I've never met a dog or cat I can't win over. I meet them at their pace, never pushing unwanted interaction onto them. I have volunteered and fostered for multiple shelters. I have experience administering medicine, grooming, and bathing. Currently working part-time, so I'm relatively free to look after pets. I am also a morning person, and I don't mind getting up early to check in on and walk someone's baby, especially with how hot it is right now. I will follow your guidance on your dog or cat's care in your household to a T. I want to alleviate the stress an animal may feel meeting a new person by sticking to their usual routine.
“Brandy is amazing! We did a meet and greet with our pups and she asked all the best questions and was so easy to talk to. It's clear she cares a lot and we definitely trust her with our doggos. We will absolutely keep calling her for weekly dog walks. Our pups love her, even our very shy girl Penny. <3 Thank you, Brandy!”
“Faith was amazing and easy to communicate with. She cleaned up a small accident which she def didn’t need to. Marley was happy as could be when I got home. Will def use Faith again.”
“Lily is AWESOME!!! Justice (my precious dog), was anxious when he first met her, but Lily was extremely patient and SO VERY loving and gentle with him - Needless to say, Lily quickly won him over!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤️”
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
“Olivia is great she is very polite, professional and attentive with my pet's needs and has great communication skills I can be at work and know my pet is in good hands. I would highly recommend her services!”
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.

“Courtney is always amazing! But this last time she let our girl out she went above and beyond for us! I forgot to put our key out for courtney and she did not hesitate to come to my work to get the key from me. So grateful to have someone I trust let our Greta out!”
“Christian is incredible with our puppy. She’s very knowledgeable and caring, always leaving detailed notes. She knows when to modify the usual walking routine if our puppy needs it. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I've always had dogs in my life. I grew up with smaller dogs in my family, but when I moved off to college I didn't have as much time around them. It honestly took a minor toll on my mental health, because I actually believe dogs are the key to happiness. Once I moved to Arlington and my roommate had a dog (a medium sized), I knew I needed to surround myself with more. And what better way to get to know the community than to take care of the most important part of it! Working remotely gives me the incredible flexibility to make pet care a seamless part of my day. While I work a standard 9-to-5 schedule, my job allows me to easily step away from my desk whenever needed. Whether that means taking your dog out for a mid-day potty break, going on an afternoon walk to burn off some energy, or giving a cat some quality cuddle time, I can accommodate your pet’s exact routine without delay. When I take on a pet sitting commitment, that work becomes my top priority. My flexible remote setup means I’m present, attentive, and available throughout the day - giving your pets the companionship and supervision they need so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m hosting your pet at my home or caring for them in yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. My own space is fully pet-proofed, safe, and secure for hosting, while in your home, I treat your property with absolute respect, adhering strictly to your house rules, routine, and security preferences. On walks and during yard play, I stay 100% focused on your pet - maintaining a secure grip on the leash, monitoring weather and pavement conditions, and actively avoiding potential hazards or unfamiliar dogs. Building trust starts with clear, reliable communication. I make a point to send frequent updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. From double-checking fence latches to keeping strict safety routines, I take every precaution to give you complete peace of mind while you're away.

“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.

I would highly recommend Giovanna as a boarder if you are looking for a safe and loving environment for your pups.”
