“Amber is the BEST dog sitter. She loves my dog like she is her own. Amber sends photos and videos so I can see my dog is happy! My dog loves her so much that she will try to jump out of the car when we pull up!”
“Lilia was great! She was very responsive and sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay. I could tell that my pups really enjoyed their stay and were well taken care of. Thanks again!!”
“Radha and Bart were able to accommodate me on short notice due to some plans of mine falling through last minute. As usual they were wonderful with Otto and he fell into a comfortable routine right away!”
“Ivette is amazing! I had an odd situation where I was on vacation for a wedding and needed new boarding mid vacation and Ivette was so flexible, positive and informative. Communication was honestly above and beyond and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She even used one of her own slow feeders for my dog when she noticed him eating too quickly! So thoughtful! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Elizabeth watched our little Lola for 25 days while we were out of the country and took such great care of her! It was so nerve wracking leaving our high energy baby for so long but Elizabeth kept us updated with pictures and videos and when we picked Lola up it was clear she’d been so well taken care of! Thank you so much, Elizabeth!!!! Highly recommend!!!!”
“Diana was amazing. She provided multiple picture and text updates throughout the day, which I really appreciate. Upon pickup, she let me know how things went! I would definitely recommend Diana and use her again!”
“Leo had such an amazing time! He felt so comfortable and cared for the entire stay. The sitter sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel completely at ease. Leo can be a little sensitive, but he was so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Truly grateful for the wonderful care!”
“Gracie is the BEST! My original sitter canceled last minute, and she swooped in within an hour to save the day (and my birthday trip). She sent lots of great pictures, her house was very clean, and she was the perfect mix of professional and friendly. Her husband was just as kind and welcoming. I can’t recommend Gracie enough — if you’re looking for someone to watch your Dog go with her.”
“Natalee is great. She took care of my dogs on short notice and treated them like her own. I appreciated the updates from her and how responsive she is concerning individual dog care institutions. Highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Lindsey was terrific! She gave frequent updates with pictures. She also has a corgi named Zoe that is extremely cute! We are glad Biscuit has a corgi friend now. Lindsey is also very thoughtful and fed Biscuit throughout his stay, also letting him use Zoe’s crate. I would definitely book again and recommend Lindsey to anyone else looking for boarding services!”
“Chad is a wonderful host to our 40lb catahoula, George. George and Pixel get along wonderfully. Nice space, good fenced in backyard. Chad goes above and beyond. His love for dogs truly shows.”

“Zora took amazing care of our dog Kona. She provided lots of pictures, videos and updates and we knew he was in good hands. He got along well with her dog, Zara, too. Would definitely rebook!”
“My dog had a wonderful time with Onel and his family! They even went above and beyond by making sure my dog was clean and nails were trimmed before return her to me. Highly recommend!”
“Jerica watched our puppy for us and I can tell he loved being with her. Communication was great and overall the rover experience with Jerica was easy. I will definitely rebook with her. Thanks again”
About: I’m a dog mom to a sweet Bernedoodle, Nuvie, who loves making new friends! I've cared for several friends' dogs and grew up around both dogs and cats. With a fenced yard and a love for animals, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home☺️ I’m currently enjoying summer break as a School Psychologist! During the school year, I work a flexible hybrid schedule and am home most days, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I have a fenced yard and my fur baby is crate trained. My dog loves to people watch through the window & play with his toys. He does amazing with other pets as well!
“Amanda seems to be very experienced. You can feel her love for our babies. I think I have a lot to learn from her. My Coco has only one night in there, and I think he already missed her and his new fur friends.”
“Elisa was the very best sitter I have used. She was so professional and personal in her services. My Auggie was treated to a wonderful home away from home during his stay. She would send pictures and call me with any information she thought I needed about Auggie.”

About: I I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. My background includes daily feeding routines, administering basic medications, leash walks, playtime, and providing lots of affection and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and comfort levels. I work a remote full time job. If I’m needed more frequently, all I’d ask is to be allowed to work from your location. Otherwise, I’m on a 9-5 work schedule and can be available for one hour, typically between 11am and 1pm, and every evening. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine. I am available after 3:30 pm daily, which allows me to reliably focus on feeding times, walks, okay sessions, and quality one-on-one care in the afternoons and evenings.
“Mia was absolutely great! We will absolutely be using her again in the future. She was always on time and if anything changed she communicated that to us. She followed all the directions that we left for her. She spent a lot of time with beans and also sent us very cute videos and pictures”
“Thank you SO much for taking such good care of my babies while I was traveling! The updates and pictures were wonderful, I was so nervous to leave my girls but Kellie’s check ins really eased my worries. Will absolutely have Kellie check in on my kitties whenever I travel again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”
“We couldn’t ask for a better cat sitte! She genuinely cares for our kittens as if they were her own, and gives us complete peace of mind every time we are away. In fact, we’ve joked that if she isn’t available, we wont travel! We trust her completely and couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
About: Hi there :) I absolutely love dogs and i know that they are man's best friend. I cant wait to meet your best friend for a play fun outdoors day.

Im also a fur mama so i will make sure they will be happy and very playful together. My baby loves company. She's always looking for a friend every time we go to the dog park or for a long walk around the block on a beautiful day of summer. Hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes. Mell and Zoe. ❤🐶
About: Hello! My name is Starr, and I have had a deep passion for animals throughout my entire life. Growing up, I was fortunate enough to have animals as constant companions and even fostered animals with my mother. I have experience bottle-feeding puppies and providing specialized care as needed. At heart, I'm a devoted animal lover who delights in giving pets the attention they deserve, whether it's through scratches, treats, or capturing their personalities in delightful photo shoots. With me, your furry friends will receive the love, care, and fun they need while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon! I work from home on my laptop and its incredibly flexible so i am able to work from anywhere, and take frequent breaks which works perfect for dog/cat sitting! I lead with love and give them all the pets I can (if they are wanting that!), I am great with setting up a routine for care with lots of love mixed in. I again work from home so my animals typically are always getting attention.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’m incredibly impressed with Abby as a sitter! From the very first visit, she made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. The updates were top-notch every time, with the cutest photos and thoughtful notes that gave me total peace of mind. My dog absolutely lights up when Abby arrives, which says everything. She clearly cares so much and is amazing with pets of all personalities. Communication is quick and smooth, scheduling is easy, and she is always reliable and professional. If you’re looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to caring for your fur babies, Abby is the perfect choice. Your pet will be in the best hands! 🐾❤️”
About: I enjoy caring for cats and getting to know their unique personalities. I understand that many cats prefer a calm environment and time to warm up to new people, so I always approach them with patience and respect for their space. During visits I make sure litter boxes are clean, food and water are fresh, and cats receive attention based on what they’re comfortable with—whether that’s playtime, brushing, or simply quiet companionship. I pay close attention to each cat’s behavior and routine so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your cat is doing well. My goal is to provide reliable, gentle care so your cat can stay relaxed in their familiar environment.
“As always, I feel so confident that my kitty is taken care of when Kaleigh is around! She sends super detailed updates and I can truly relax on vacation. Highly recommend her for your next sitting!”
About: As a lifelong cat owner and former veterinary technician, I have experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats with special needs. I am comfortable caring for both indoor and outdoor cats and can provide feeding, medication administration, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and attentive monitoring to ensure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
“Kat is the best! My cats loved her--even my shy girl who normally hides when we have visitors followed her around, asking for pets! She asked all the right questions and stayed in touch throughout the time we were gone with texts, plus photos and video of our babies. 10/10”

PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR A MEET & GREET TO BE SCHEDULED PRIOR TO MY FIRST VISIT. This is for my safety and the safety of your pets.

I am happy to stop by, clean up, let them out and feed during visits.
“I have an energetic puppy dog and Brenda has been great in helping him learn to stay calm around and older, smaller dog. Everyday that I come to pick him up, he's in a great mood and she even sends me pictures of him throughout the day of him playing and having a good time in the backyard and sleeping in his puppy bed. I couldn't ask for a more responsible individual to care for my puppy. 10 out of 10, would book again!”
About: We both grew up with dogs of various sizes and love all animals. We have over 13 years of experience with caring for our own dogs, one of which has allergies and anxiety and requires routine medications. We will treat and love your dog as our own! Because of my WFH schedule, I have lots of flexibility to provide potty breaks, play with, and walk your pup throughout the day! I will stick to their routine and provide pictures and updates during their stay. We have a spacious home with a fenced backyard and a sweet 8 year-old dog, Rylee, who loves other dogs. We have used Rover for over four years, so we understand how important it is to find a sitter you can trust to love and care for your fur baby like you do. We are responsible pet parents who prioritize their comfort, safety, and needs. **Please note: we require a meet and greet prior to all new client bookings to ensure the dogs get along and to answer any questions you may have.
About: I have been a dog mama for over 15 years to 2 of the best girls. Both have passed now and while we would love to add another fur baby to our family, we are taking a break while raising our two tiny humans! Our most recent fur baby just passed 2 months ago, and we are looking to love on your sweet babies to bring some of that joy back into our home! We are very familiar with special skin care, medication, special diet needs, and separation anxiety! I'm a stay at home mom, so they will have lots of play and attention, walks around the neighborhood, especially to the local duck pond, as well as plenty of potty breaks in our big backyard! I'm a stay at home mom, so I'm available all day to take your fur babies for walks, let out for potty breaks, and get lots of play and attention! I have two kiddos who love dogs and love to play! I also have a good sized fenced in yard for running and potty breaks! I can provide a kennel if needed! My home is peaceful, and fully outfitted with security!
About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog owner and caregiver with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from small (3 lbs) to medium/large (up to 60 lbs), including puppies as young as 4 months and senior dogs requiring medication and extra care. I work fully remote, which means your dog will have consistent supervision and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and a steady routine throughout the day. I live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a large fenced yard where your dog can safely play and relax. I’m very attentive to routines, comfort, and safety, and I treat every pet like my own. I also have experience preparing homemade dog treats, so I’m always mindful of what pets consume and their overall well-being. I have my own dog, Bo, who is almost 15 and still healthy, active, and loves to run and jump around — which I truly believe comes from consistent care, attention, and a loving environment. Your pet will be in a calm, loving, and structured environment while you’re away — with plenty of attention, care, and affection. I am a full time professional and working remotely. I walk my 14.5 yr old, 12lb furbaby 3-4 times daily and enjoy the spending the outdoors time with my Bo and make him new friends. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a large fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Pets are always supervised outside and never left unattended. Because I work from home, your pet will have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any medications or special care. If I’m in your home, I keep your pet’s routine consistent and your space respected. I also provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

“This was our first stay using this app and Valda was amazing. Before I booked with her she was open to meet and was great with her communication and response time. My pup and hers seemed to get along at first meet so it made me more comfortable. She made sure to ask all the right questions about my pups schedule and feeding. She sent pictures and kept in touch the entire time! I 100% recommend her and will be using her the next time we need anything!”

About: I have been working part time with Rover for several years. I recently had to put my 13-year-old lab down, so I do not currently have any pets. Animals are the brightest part of our world and nothing makes me happier than spending time with doggies and kitties. I currently volunteer for PALS, a program under Meals on Wheels, that provides food for animals in senior homes. I loved to walk my dog and would be more than happy to provide dog walking services to others on the weekends. I work weekdays, but am available after 5 pm and will work Saturdays, and Sundays. I cannot wait to get started and meet all the sweet babies! I currently work weekdays, but can devote time after work and weekends. I can utilize lunch breaks to check on pets and nights and weekends for more one on one time. I own a home with a fenced in yard for my dog. I will do anything and everything to ensure your animal’s safety and happiness.
About: Can guarantee your fur baby will be treated as my own while in my care and have lots of loving and playing time. I go on walks daily in our neighborhood we have beautiful trails that range up to 3 miles, a dog park to play fetch and a pond with lots of wildlife for sightseeing. They will definitely get lots of cuddles from me around the clock since I’m working from home, I have a 3 YO friendly Doberman who loves having company and playing with in the backyard. I have experience sitting, walking and dropping in on family/friends pets and also local neighbors.

My yard is a good sized for my Doberman to run around in and fenced. I have 2 older children who love dogs as much as I do to give extra loving. My Doberman is friendly and is the only one in this house so he gets excited to be able to play with new friends.
About: Hi! I love meeting new animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Every pet is different, and I enjoy learning what makes each one feel comfortable, happy, and safe. For the past three years I’ve been actively working on training my own dog, which has helped me learn a lot about patience, communication, and understanding animal behavior. That experience has made me even more passionate about caring for animals and helping them feel supported in new environments. I love helping animals and figuring out what works best for them—whether that’s playtime, a relaxing walk, or just a calm place to rest. My goal is always to make pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, or sitting. I always aim to follow your pet’s normal routine and provide updates during visits. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I take time to understand each animal’s routine and personality so they feel secure and relaxed. I use safe handling practices, supervise pets closely, and maintain a calm environment. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: Those that I have encountered with pets , constantly tell me how good I am with them. It’s almost a natural instinct. I’ve done extensive research on properly training dogs and cats, i’ve seen results on my own dog. I currently have a part-time job so this is something i’ve decided to do on my free time out of pure enjoyment, as well as getting some exercise in ! My number one priory will always be safety. I have a dog and cat of my own so i know how important it is to be safe as well as keep yourself in a calm and positive environment, as animals can read into you easily.
About: I've cared for animals from birth to senior care. I hope you'll trust me to care for your pet with the same love and affection that I do my own. I am home and live alone. There are no children here and I am available for constant love, care and affection. I hope you'll trust me to care for your baby as though they're mine, with all consideration that you would hope for. I have a fenced yard on 2.5 acres and I love to work outdoors, gardening, planting saplings, etc. Your pet would be constantly monitored and played with during all hours.
“I’m very grateful that Abi was able to step in for a last minute request. She did a great job arriving in a timely manner and Coco loved her! Would definitely recommend her (:”
About: I've had a lot of pets in my life. I currently have 6 dogs and 3 cats. I have experience with reactive dogs and dog selective dogs. I deal mostly with large and extra large dogs but have owned medium and small dogs. I've worked for a boarding kennel before so I have some professional experience with that. I am also a current foster to shelter dogs so I see different breeds and personalities all the time. I work a full time job. I work nights so I'm usually available during the day early mornings and evenings on the days I work. I can always find a way to make it work. I have dogs that do not get along with other dogs or people. I am very used to a crate and rotate schedule and I'm very conscious of my dogs mood and behavior. I also have foster dogs, so I have new dogs in and out and ensuring safety is my top priority.
About: I have extensive experience with a diverse range of animals, including longhorns, horses, dogs, cats, . Additionally, I volunteer at the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, where I have gained significant experience in dog walking and working in various cat areas. My training primarily focuses on dog walking, ensuring that I provide the best care and attention to the animals. Currently, my regular engagements primarily involve overnight stays at the owner's house, although these are quite sporadic. Additionally, I volunteer at the shelter, and I maintain a flexible schedule to accommodate various needs. I prefer not to bring pets to my home because they feel more comfortable in their own environment. It's healthier for them to stay in a familiar place, especially for foster or shelter dogs with difficult pasts. Additionally, my dogs wouldn't welcome other dogs on our property.
About: friends and family have trusted me with their pets and i’ve never let them down. i’m very reliable and will love your angels like they’re my own. i currently work full time, but im available any time Tuesdays and Saturdays and can do early mornings to midday Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. i’m a calm, inviting and friendly person who will always have toys and treats with her. i’ll make sure your animals are safe and comfortable in my care
About: I may be new to Rover, but I’m dedicated to providing safe, loving, and dependable care for every pet I meet. I understand that every animal has its own personality and routine, and I’ll take the time to follow your instructions carefully so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to provide plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, fresh water, meals, and potty breaks based on your pet’s needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet by treating them with the same kindness, respect, and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. This allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need instead of rushing through visits. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, and evening care I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special requests. In a client’s home, I treat both their pet and their home with respect by keeping things clean, maintaining the pet’s normal routine, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners can feel confident that their pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience that helps pets feel secure until their family returns.

I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! I can easily crate your pet if needed and provide them with plenty potty breaks.
About: I had my first dog when I was 5 and up until I was a Junior in highschool when we lost our beloved Burnie. He was my best friend, I would always tell people I was his go-to human we had our daily walks. Since then I have been the family pet sitter which have included plenty of dogs. I am currently a full-time college student but I am free everyday after 4pm. On the weekends I am a little more flexible I just need to know ahead a few days prior if you need services earlier than 4! I do live inside of an apartment but I have space in the back where I can give walks and potty breaks. There are currently no pets inside of my home but your pet is allowed on top of my sofa!

“Ivette is amazing! I had an odd situation where I was on vacation for a wedding and needed new boarding mid vacation and Ivette was so flexible, positive and informative. Communication was honestly above and beyond and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She even used one of her own slow feeders for my dog when she noticed him eating too quickly! So thoughtful! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Leo had such an amazing time! He felt so comfortable and cared for the entire stay. The sitter sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel completely at ease. Leo can be a little sensitive, but he was so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Truly grateful for the wonderful care!”
“Natalee is great. She took care of my dogs on short notice and treated them like her own. I appreciated the updates from her and how responsive she is concerning individual dog care institutions. Highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Chad is a wonderful host to our 40lb catahoula, George. George and Pixel get along wonderfully. Nice space, good fenced in backyard. Chad goes above and beyond. His love for dogs truly shows.”
“Jerica watched our puppy for us and I can tell he loved being with her. Communication was great and overall the rover experience with Jerica was easy. I will definitely rebook with her. Thanks again”
About: I’m a dog mom to a sweet Bernedoodle, Nuvie, who loves making new friends! I've cared for several friends' dogs and grew up around both dogs and cats. With a fenced yard and a love for animals, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home☺️ I’m currently enjoying summer break as a School Psychologist!

“Jacob is an amazing Human and a stellar dog sitter. It’s evident from the regular updates with photos, asking lots of questions to make sure he knows your pup’s particular needs. Highly recommend and happy to have found Jacob!”
“One thousand percent would recommend!! They clearly spent time and care ensuring our dogs were 100% comfortable and cared for, and they gave us consistent updates on how they were doing the entire week we were gone. Absolutely will rebook in the future!”
“Kyle, hands down, is the most enthusiastic, personable, caring, and attentive sitter! When Boyd goes over to his "resort', an acre or so of room to play with pals, jump in the pool or lay down in a baby pool, (water dog that he is) he has the absolute best time! Sometimes Kyle has 5 'guests', other times, more. There's always buddies to run and play with and hyper Boyd comes home exhausted!!! And Kyle is great at sending lots of action photos! !I am so happy to have discovered Kyle!”
“I had Jehisson to sit our dog, Zira while we were out of town. She loved her stay at Jehisson’s. Jehisson kept me updated by sending pictures of Zira. I felt Zira is in safe hands. I would be happy to reconnect with Jehisson in future.”
“Mina was great! She stopped by to meet the boys a couple weeks before they would be staying with her. They loved her right away. Very responsive and gives us lots of updates about our pups.”
“Jose was great! He had a great space for fur babies too run and enjoy! My pup was sad to leave her new friends. I would 100% recommend Jose for pet boarding and we will got sure use him again!!”
“Michele was a wonderful sitter for Ranger! She kept us up to date on his daily activities and sent pictures, he looked so happy! Would highly recommend and will plan on using her again!”
“We are thankful for Tina and Rover! We've kept our dogs at boarding centers in the past and they were always stressed. At Tina's, they felt right at home. They got the attention they needed, had fun, and were happy when we picked them up.”
“My senior pup Lexie stayed with Valerie while I was out of the country for three weeks. I loved the daily updates and photos so I knew Lexie was in good hands. She is a nervous girl and Valerie was patient and gentle with Lexie’s needs. I highly recommend Valerie as a sitter!”
“Joshua was great with our dogs! He knew exactly how to handle each of their individual personalities. He communicated with me throughout the stay and was very friendly and responsive.”
“Arfa was amazing!!! She was super accommodating with a last minute request and change when I had an unexpected work trip. She was super communicative the whole time and my dog Tux seemed so happy! She sent so many pictures and made me feel so much peace of mind after moving to a new place where I don’t know anyone. I’m going to book her for more services for sure!”
“Jeff was a fantastic sitter/temporary foster parent for our much loved family member and dog child Ruby a hungarian vizsla. I would use his in home boarding services again in a heartbeat and highly recommend. Jeff had great communication with us and sent lots of photos and little messages to give us peace of mind. He even bought our girl a special dog chew on Christmas day. She got lots of walks and seemed to have a jolly vacay while we vacayed! Thanks Jeff you are now our 1st choice for all our dog sitting / walking needs.”
