“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Sarah! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. Sarah was so welcoming, and her setup was perfect—my dog felt right at home and barely noticed I was gone! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares about your pet’s comfort and happiness. Highly recommend Sarah on for anyone looking for peace of mind while they’re away.”
“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!”
“jessica and Wilson always make us feel confident that they will take care of our dog Izzy. There were thunderstorms and she gets very nervous but they sent us a photo of them comforting her. Their dog Winnie is very friendly and provides a great opportunity for play for Izzy and their backyard is perfect for that. Highly recommend!”
“We were worried to leave Leo alone with anyone, but Amanda and her partner were great through and through. Made us feel very comfortable during our first puppy play date, and it reassured us he was in good hands. They also sent plenty of pics/videos so we knew he was well each and every day. On top of that, Leo always looked like he was having a blast playing with the other dogs, cuddling on the catch, or playing fetch. Really an awesome experience.”

“Stephanie is truly the best sitter! Our communication was wonderful since day one, she’s caring and thoughtful, and you can tell she genuinely loves dogs. Capitan is a very shy dog, but he felt comfortable with her because she’s attentive, gentle and confident she can manage him. I got daily updates of capitan with cute pictures. Leaving capitan under her care was rhe best decision!”
“Olha was terrific with taking care of my sweet cat. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous how the experience would go, but Olha sent me constant updates and made sure my cat was cared for and comfortable.

“Christine & Colin were excellent dog sitters. Our two labs loved their time with them and made themselves right at home. I received photo updates and knew our babies were in great hands. Will definitely use them again next time we visit Austin!”
“Ashley was so great we 10/10 would recommend to anyone. She was able to keep our dog when we went on a last minute trip. Ashely was very quick to respond to messages and was great at communicating/coordinating. She was also extremely flexible when our flight home was delayed and we had to adjust our pick-up time. Ashley sent us lots of photos and videos to keep us in the loop as well. Thank you, we definitely wont hesitate to book with you again!”

They monitored her and gave us detailed updates. They played with her, took our trash, recycling & compost out, and even changed one of our chirping smoke detectors. They are very professional and we highly recommend them.”

“I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my dog with anyone else. Eva is her favorite person and she goes crazy with excitement when we drive up to Eva’s house. Cannot thank you enough, Eva, for your kindness, patience and all the love you give Charli!”
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!
“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.”
“Baguette has only been with Linda a couple of days but I can already tell how much she loves it there. I’ve never seen her come home so happy and relaxed! Linda gives her so much love, attention, and playtime and I feel 100% at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. It means the world to know my lil baby is safe, cared for, and having fun while I’m at work. We’re so lucky to have found her! 💕🐾”
“Angela and her roommate Kelly did a great job of watching our dog Nellie. They both clearly love animals and go the extra mile to make sure you and your pet are comfortable. This was our dog's first pet sit and she did not understand at first that the "no potty inside" rules applied in other's homes as well but Angela was so patient and understanding.”
“David was great for daycare with our dog! He responded promptly, took care to understand our dog's needs and was provided us with photos and updates throughout the day. He also provided us with a framed portrait of our dog at the end of the day, which was an awesome gesture. Would highly recommend David for doggy daycare or boarding!”
About: Please do me the favor of allowing me to take care of your fur babies! Although I do not have any pets of my own, I am a great Auntie to all my friends pets. I adore all animals of all kinds and sizes. I have the most experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including taking care of some with anxiety and needing training! I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11, including a snake and a hamster! I have also had some experience with fostering puppies. A little about me: I am a young adult in Austin and I work at a local bookstore helping with school events. I love animals but have not been able to have one of my own because of living and financial situations. Please let me know how I can help serve you and your pet! I am currently working full-time from home! I work from 9-5, so I can take care of your pet before work, after work, overnight, and occasionally during the work day if needed! I have a lot of free time outside of work and would love to fit your needs into my day-to-day schedule. I will take the utmost care of your pet, ensuring safety and peace over all else. I prioritize the well-being of your pet, as well as companionship. I am adaptable to any and all circumstances- if your pet needs medicine, training, or just someone to cuddle with!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for them at every stage, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My own beloved dog recently passed away at 16 years old, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for a pet. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own again, I truly miss having pets around and would love the opportunity to care for yours when you can’t be there. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for in my home. I love spending time with animals and can easily incorporate them into my daily routine. Them being well cared for and loved is my prioritization. I work remotely with a highly flexible schedule, so I can provide attentive care, plenty of potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I am also quite active, so if the pet needs long walks, they are perfect for my daily walks! Any type of pet fits in my life, from an energetic puppy who needs extra activity to a senior dog or cat who prefers a slower pace. My priority is always making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so I can provide consistent care and minimize stress. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s space, ensuring feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other instructions are followed carefully. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I’m attentive to pet safety at all times. My goal is for every pet to feel like they’re spending time with a friend, not just a sitter.
About: I've raised dogs since childhood. Experienced with all sizes, seniors, and medication needs. I'm a true animal lover and care for them like family. You can trust! I work from home and have full availability every day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long, as I rarely go out and only for quick errands. My home has a fenced backyard, space for crates if preferred, and there is a dog park in my neighborhood for fun and safe playtime!
“My pup had so much fun today! I could tell he didn’t want to come home. He also slept the entire ride home and the evening after so I could tell he definitely got his energy out! Will 100% be utilizing Nicole again!!!”
About: I've had dogs for 12+ years and been the Go-To dog sitter for friends and family for all their pups! Young pups, senior pups, high-energy pups, or super chill pups, I love them all! I currently have a WFH job. I do go out in the field for a few hours a day, but that varies. Annie (my pup) go on two walks a day. I'm usually home til 10 am, and if I go into the field, I try to be back by 2-3 pm. I have a comfy couch that's open to pups for naps and cuddles. I have a nice, fenced-in backyard, a walkable neighborhood. Plenty of space for crate training if needed. I will love on your dog as if they are my own. I will most likely give them a cute nickname, and I might be a little generous with the treats, oops.
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for pups of all sizes! From small to large including seniors who need extra love and attention :) I have a 2year old Border Collie named Royal. He’s a very energetic, playful, and smart boy! I have a hybrid work schedule, so I’m flexible during the week. I’m also available for boarding and daycare on weekends and holidays. I live in an apartment complex with a fenced dog park nearby a trail perfect for walks. My unit is spacious enough for zoomies, with a balcony where your pup can enjoy some fresh air.
About: For the last decade or so, I have been the first call made when a friend or family member has plans to go out of town (or out for a night on the town). Let’s face it. Finding someone who can love and protect your own pet the way you would is challenging, to say the least. Being a dog owner myself, I understand the indescribable love we feel for our fur babies. Lucky for you, I utilize my background in psychology to create a safe atmosphere for the dogs I am responsible for. Dogs need enrichment and positive associations. I rely on natural (or homemade) snuffle mats and other enrichment methods to give your pup mental exercise and I won’t shy away from a competitive (but safe) game of tug-of-war, a fun jog/run, or a walk to get our physical exercise. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I am currently exploring my options professionally, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for my furry friends. Whether it’s a long walk or a rainy day snuggle, almost everything I do involves a furry little sidekick! I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for zoomies! My two pups love having guests over and essentially act as my ‘assistant managers’ by gently welcoming their new visitor and offering to play! Luckily, both Benji and Leo are respectful socially and understand when a pup is asking for space. If not, I’m able to step in and gently redirect. In the event that I have to step away from my house, I keep all dogs are separated, whether in a crate, a play pen, or a calm, dog safe room to ensure safety.
“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.”
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
“Nova had such a great day at daycare with Xinrui! As soon as we dropped Nova off, I knew her and Lucky would get along. Xinrui constantly kept me updated with pictures and videos of Nova. And when we picked her up from her 12 hour day with Xinrui, she was exhausted. Nova was taken care of, she got lots of playtime and we felt comfortable with Xinrui watching our energetic pup! We can’t wait to book with her again!”
About: We treat every pet like our own, giving young pets the play, patience, and structure they need, and offering seniors the extra comfort and gentle care they deserve. Whether your dog or cat is young, old, or in between, we're here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My husband and I have a 4 year old Shiba Inu of our own (Tobimaru). We both work from home, so daily activities are morning and evening walks, indoor play, and backyard adventures when Toby is wanting outside. If a pet needs our attention, we are quick to grant that. Our fenced in backyard is well shaded, so it's bearable for heat or sun-sensitive dogs in the tough summers of Austin for their outdoor needs. Pets can have the run of the house - we have dog beds in nearly every room. Plenty of space for play inside, and a spacious fenced in backyard if they have the zoomies. We have plenty of room for crates if that is the preferred method of overnight rest for your pet. Our neighborhood has a great amount of foot traffic and dog walking, so we always feel safe in that regard.

About: I’ve always had pets since my first dog that we got when I was 1 then later when I was 6 my first cat and since then I’ve had 2 more dogs and 2 more cats that I’ve looked after for years. I’ve also dog sat for my wonderful neighbors who have 2 medium sized dogs for 2 years now. I usually will go and visit your pets and stay for 1-2 hours just to make sure everything is good then go back home and come back when the next check in is I make sure to meet you and your furry baby ahead of time and get a feel for your pet and home as I always prioritize your pets health and comfort over anything
“Michael is so good with our animals! He walked our dog, but also was super friendly with our 2 cats. He's super responsive, and is always sending cute pictures. I'd recommend Michael to anyone needing pet sitting or dog walking!”
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my furry friend to Chance. From the outset, Chance displayed a remarkable level of dedication and professionalism. What truly set Chance apart was his initiative in arranging a pre-walk meeting with both me and my dog. This allowed for a seamless transition on the scheduled day, as Chance already had a good understanding of my dog's needs and preferences. During the walk, Chance went above and beyond by sending regular photo and video updates. These thoughtful gestures not only reassured me of my dog's well-being but also demonstrated Chance's genuine care and attention to detail. I can confidently say that Chance is an outstanding dog walker who genuinely loves what he does. His commitment to providing top-notch care and keeping both pets and owners happy makes him a true gem in the world of dog walking. I highly recommend Chance to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate caregiver for their furry companions.”
About: I've house-sat, dog-sat and cat-sat on and off since I was young, and I'd love to make your pet feel at home while you're away! I am a restaurant manager, so I do work full-time, but am off two days a week and always have either the night or the morning before a shift to give your babies love! I have a fenced-in yard with two large dogs, but would prefer visiting your home to care for your pets. I promise to give extensive time and attention to your pet in their own home, just as I would for my own two!

“Jimmy was our first Rover and after only 2 walks, I can’t imagine having any other! He has great situational awareness and communication skills. He even did some research to find out why my pup lays down when another dog approaches. He’s working with her on this which I greatly appreciate. I highly recommend you book with Jimmy. He’s so good with my girl, Riley. She loves him!”
“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!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid, but personally I have taken care of my own dog for the past 9 years. I have always helped out with neighbors pets or my own families and love being around all types of animals! I am currently very open and available to help out during the week, evenings, mornings, and even weekends. I have a very open schedule as I am not working full time at the moment! I have a fenced-in yard at my current place. I do have one dog that is very friendly and up to date on all his vaccines.
About: I love working with animals! I love going on long walks and playing with animals. I have worked with a couple families with care with dogs of all age ranges! I am a college student who does not live far from campus and can be back and forth as needed! With it being summer, I have more flexibility! I make sure the pets are provide with a safe and loving home! I make sure they are taken care of with play, activity, food, and treats!
About: As a fellow pet parent myself, my goal is for you to rest easier knowing your pets are receiving the attention and care they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so pets are never left alone and have unlimited potty breaks, walks, play time, and cuddles. Every pet is guaranteed a photo shoot. 😂 I take LOTS of pictures and videos, and put them all in a Google Photos album to take with you after your pet's stay! I work from home and have the flexibility to provide round-the-clock care for your pet. My Rover calendar is always up to date, I am quick to respond, and I promise to communicate effectively and transparently. Drop-off and pickup times are the same for both in-home boarding and house-sitting, between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM. I am happy to discuss arrangements outside of that time window on a case-by-case basis. Late pick-ups may incur an additional fee. Your pet deserves the highest quality of care while you are away. I maintain constant communication with pet parents. I provide daily summaries, and save all photos and videos to a Google Photos Album dedicated to your pet. My house has a large, shaded yard in a quiet neighborhood, less than a mile from a huge community park with a fenced dog play area. All couches, beds, crates, or quiet spaces of their choosing are fair game in my house! In addition to security cameras, I have smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, all monitored by a professional service 24/7. After every stay, I have my yard cleaned and sanitized by a professional waste management service. I am fully insured by a 3rd party insurance company, in addition to the Rover Guarantee.
About: I've had pets since I was 17. Dogs are my favorites, cats are adorable, birds are fascinating, and horses and chickens are great. Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Belgian Shepherds, English Bulldogs, Schnauzers, and Miniature Boxers. I have plenty of time available, I have ample space and green areas, and in addition to offering walks in the countryside, I also provide pet care and ensure they are kept clean. In a covered area, there are also green spaces, allowing pets freedom to enjoy nature. Depending on the level of trust established with your pet, it's preferable not to use a leash so they can enjoy the freedom of the open space.
About: The best pet care for the best pets — YOURS. I provide everything from walks to drop ins to transportation. I’ve got a wealth of experience from kittens and puppies to seniors, including medically fragile or special needs pets. I am proud to carry supplemental pet sitting/boarding/walking insurance via Pet Sitter’s Associates. This above and beyond any coverage provided via Rover. Rover also offers a discount code for 1st time bookings that I encourage you to use, whether you book with me or with another provider. Looking over my profile, you will see that I am a Star Sitter with reviews that speak for themselves. I offer a comprehensive, “white glove,” pet care experience that provides an alternative to kenneled boarding. As such, my rates are a direct reflection of multiple factors, including my reputation, experience, supplemental insurance, professionalism, and the premium service I provide. There are a multitude of wonderful providers for most budgets on Rover; if you find my rates are more than what you have budgeted for, I encourage you to research any number of caring providers that are closer to what you have planned to invest in pet care. I work from home. In addition to a fenced backyard, my subdivision offers 2 dog parks. Prefer your house or park? I can do that as well! I keep things tidy! From picking up droppings to scooping boxes, it’s doo-doo-able (see what I did there?). I leave your house as you want it — just let me know. My home is secure with a high fence for the yard.

“We were worried to leave Leo alone with anyone, but Amanda and her partner were great through and through. Made us feel very comfortable during our first puppy play date, and it reassured us he was in good hands. They also sent plenty of pics/videos so we knew he was well each and every day. On top of that, Leo always looked like he was having a blast playing with the other dogs, cuddling on the catch, or playing fetch. Really an awesome experience.”

“Eddie & his wife were absolutely AMAZING! They sent tons of photos & updates, took Brewski for a walk & I know he was well taken care of as if he were their own! My dog had such a blast with Eddie’s family (including their dogs)! HIGHLY recommend & will definitely use again in the future!”

About: My husband and I have experience caring for a dog through the full arc of their life - from puppyhood to mature independence to the soft decline of old age. If you have a senior pet who has personality quirks, a complicated routine, and a robust set of meds - we get it! We lost our guy at the advanced age of 17 in June 2025, and the house has felt too empty since then, so we're ready to channel that care into your pets. Our dog preferred to be an only child, and it was sometimes hard to find a sitter who offered a private stay. That's why we'll only take dogs from the same house for our stays - we're not trying to maximize our profits, we just want some happy dogs in our home again! I work from home and so does my husband, so we are reliably available to give as much or as little attention as they need. We can flex to the walking and feeding schedule that your pup is used to, so they don't come back home to you asking for dinner early! We have a large (roughly 2000 square feet) fenced yard. We've proactively blocked-up any holes under the fence large enough to squirm through, and we also have a shaded concrete patio. There's no doggy door, so they'll have to rely on their human servant (me!) to let them in and out! The space is large and open enough for a rambunctious dog to get their laps in, and free of any plants dangerous to pets. Pets are not welcome on beds or sofas, but that's just about the only boundary. If they prefer to sleep in the bedroom with us there is plenty of space for a dog bed; if they like to monitor the house from outside the bedroom we can set them up elsewhere. Senior dogs who struggle on wooden floors may not be a good fit - we've removed most of the runners that we had for our guy who struggled with this. There are no stairs inside the house, and only one shallow step from the house out to the backyard - if the one step is an issue, we can use a different door that is flush with the patio.
“Chris and Callan were amazing with my 7 year old Husky Lennox. Asher was an excellent playmate, I got regular updates with pictures, and my baby had an amazing time! I felt very comfortable leaving Lennox with such a responsible couple, in a great location, with lots of love and activity given to my needy Husky. I look forward to booking again with Chris and Callan!”
