“I can’t recommend Kelly enough! He was incredibly responsive and accommodating, even with my last-minute request. He was thoughtful in understanding Rambos behavior and needs during drop off and kept me updated with frequent photos throughout the week. His dog Jasper was wonderful with Rambo and they seemed to be having so much fun running in the huge backyard and playing together. It was clear Kelly cared about my pups wellbeing and ensured he had an abundance of attention, exercise and playtime. I felt at ease knowing Rambo was in such good hands!”
“Amy is just wonderful, I never worry about my 2 doxies when in her care. She's a great communicator and sends pics as well for updates. I've used her for some time now and will continue!”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with a rover sitter, and we are super glad we went with Justin! He did a great job making our fur babies comfortable while we were away, we will definitely be using him again for our future sitting needs!”
“Jennifer took amazing care of my dogs while I was away. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures of them. Would have her watch them again and I definitely recommend her.”
“Morgan took great care of my Chase. I was out of town for a couple of days. Always felt better when I received pictures of how he was doing. Would definitely have Morgan dog sit for Chase again.”
About: Howdy yall! My name is Brett and I live in Smithville (78957), just east of Austin. My house has a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and is great for extended stays. I’ve raised many breeds of dog, including helping the birthing process! Must be friendly with other dogs, as I have dogs who get along great with all manner of beasts. I work from home and literally have no social life in this small town. Point is, I am a home body that is always working on my home and sanctuary. Dogs here get constant attention, treats, and lots of yard time. I love taking long walks in the neighborhood with the dogs and it’s a great area for it! There are several areas for dogs to sleep and make themselves at home. Each room has a dog bed and the living room couch is owned by the dogs. I am currently kenneling one dog who has a leg injury, so I’m patient with pups and know how to administer medications.
About: I have been involved with dogs, cats, birds reptiles, fish livestock including horses may entire life. I love to take care of animals whole heartedly I am working part time and am there for available to board anytime or check on your pets in late afternoons and all day on the weekends. I have a large fenced property and have several fur babies to keep your pet company. I have a huge area to walk your pet and have the ability to crate your pet as needed.
About: Hi my name Destiny and I'm 31 years old. Dogs are my life, I also used to work at a dog day care before I decided to begin one on my own. I've always loved animals since I was a little girl and knew I wanted to work with them. I decided that caring for other dogs as if their were my own is absolutely an amazing feeling to make a pup feel safe while you're away. Also I have taken on a variety of dogs and tend to their needs such as grooming, medication and love! Experience with 20+ dogs in 1room with me and I absolutly love my job! I'm very aware of avoiding and stopping dog fights and noticing small injuries from rough playing. I can make sure your baby is safe and well for your return. I work from home that has a high flexibility for me to step away when needed to be able to tend to your pets needs. I start my work at home at 5:30 am and able to step away when ever your fur babies need attention or care. Once I clock out at 2, I may go run errands to start dinner. But I’m a homebody and much rather be in with dogs than be out and about.
About: My entire life we have always had pets. I am a huge pet lover. Growing up I don’t think there was a time we ever didn’t have a dog. Now currently I own an almost 5 year old german shepherd and 2 cats. I would do anything for my pets and would love to be there for yours. I currently do work full time so feedings and walks would be the easiest for me schedule wise. But anytime I do have the free time I would love to pet sit for you! I am such a big animal person I would love to play with them go on walks/ runs, do some training, and make sure they get plenty of food and treats!
About: I would absolutely love the opportunity to care for your dogs! I have 10 years experience dog sitting, two years of veterinary hospital experience, and two semesters of Animal Science classes. I am also currently working on a veterinary assisting certificate. I have owned wonderful dogs my entire life and have a true passion for animal care. Your pets are in excellent hands when they are in my care. I promise to love them as if they are my own :) I know the feeling of wondering if my dogs are being taken care of properly while I am away, so I want to do anything I can to comfort you that your fur baby is in great hands. You deserve a worry free vacation! I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to be present with your pup while he/she is in my care. To me, one of the hardest parts of leaving your pet is wondering whether they will actually be attended to. My biggest priority is keeping owners in the loop so that they are certain their furbaby is being cared for. I will send pictures, videos, updates - anything you need to have the piece of mind that I am there for your pet when I am supposed to be.

“I booked Susan at the last minute for a drop in visit for my two labs while we had a long day out of town. This was our first time using her, and considering we’d never met and I have a husband who is nervous about having people in our house we don’t know, it was a relief that everything went perfectly! She followed instructions to the T, sent a couple of pictures and we felt very comfortable with her. We will use Susan again!”
“Caitlin was punctual and attentive with Ella while I was on my trip. My shy cats even took to her rather quickly, I was so surprised. I’m very happy with the care Caitlin provided!”
“Morgan took great care of Ella and Merle while we were away! I really appreciated the pictures she sent me and the time she spent with my social cats. She was communicative and reliable, and I will definitely keep her in mind for our next extended trip! I was very happy with her services!”
“Having Marsha care for our pets has been a god send. She is attentive, reliable, and patient. It was a great peace of mind knowing our babies were in good hands while we were away. Will definitely be contacting again the next time we are away.”
“Stacey was excellent in every aspect during her drop in visits with our three dogs and cats. She kept a very close eye on a skin irritation that had developed on one our dogs and she updated us with pics daily. She was truly concerned with the health of our pets. We could not recommend her more. She is fantastic.”
“Tamara dropped in to clean our cat's litter box, refresh her water, and refill her food. She also brought in packages that had been delivered which was very nice!! Communication was a bit spotty because her phone accidentally got stuck on silence, but I am sure the cat did not notice!! She is a hider anyway!”
“Alexis was AMAZING. She went above and beyond. She gave our kitties so much love and care, and she updated us every step of the way while we were out of town. Best experience I've had with Rover thus far.”
“Seriph, was very understanding about some last minute changes with the kitties. I came home to a very clean house and the kitties were happy to see us. I appreciate her flexibility. And it was nice to have someone at the house while I was out of the country.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Flatonia
“Brittan was an amazing dog sitter and took very good care of our dog. She was kind and friendly and seemed to enjoy her job. She did well giving a recap of their day. I would definitely use her again if we are in the area.”
About: Dogs are a huge part of my life, and I truly care about their health, happiness, and comfort. I own a dog food company and a founder of Paws on the Street, a 501(c)(3), so caring for animals is more than just something I enjoy. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get the love, attention, and dependable care they deserve while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day for your pooch. Safety, trust, and comfort are very important to me. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard that gives dogs plenty of space to safely play, explore, and get exercise in a secure environment.
“Super -duper pet sitter w/ such a great approach for our little traumatized pound puppy. He has a natural talent for animals, but the fact he's a certified vet tech just adds a bonus. It's rare to meet someone that is so compassionate, but also has skills to deal w) a pet that needs additional medical care or attention. Justin was great about sharing updates and photos while our Bonnie was in his care. After some initial apprehension, we relaxed realizing she was comfortable and happy with him. It's easy to recommend Justin for an excellent care giver. His rates are very reasonable, also. If there were more than 5 stars, we'd add more as well as rate him as outstanding! Thanks so much for helping us enjoy our trip away!”

About: I am a former vet tech that still has a passion for animals. I just recently decided to stay at home with my babies, and to take care of stuff around the house. So with that being said, I am available pretty much anytime for in home boarding, drop in visits, walks, bathing, and any other services that may be needed. My house is open to having visitors stay with me. We live on 30 acres, with an acre completely fenced in. We also have a dog run area that is fenced in our homestead as well. I worked in the vet field for roughly 5 years and loved every second of it. I have 5 cats and 5 dogs. The cats have their own room, so they don’t mix with the dogs. I also have 2 young kids who absolutely adore all animals. I am able to give medications, baths, nail trims, and any other special care that may be needed. I treat all animals as if they were my own. I have toys and bones all throughout the house. There are dog beds and blankets everywhere for them to lay on. I even have blankets on the furniture for them to get up and lay on. I have a fenced in yard where they can run and play. I love animals and love to spend time with them. I do require our furry kids to be up to date on vaccines like Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella. I am pretty much home all day, so I am available all day to take care of any and all animals. If I do have to leave, it is for a short time, and I make sure to let them potty before I leave and as soon as I get home. I care for pets as if they are my own. I treat them like I treat my own animals. I make sure that they have everything they need and then try to give extra. Spend extra time, give extra attention, more snuggles, etc
About: I absolutely love being around dogs as they are what makes me truly happy. I worked at a grooming shop for a year and a half, so I have experience of being around animals. I have plenty of dogs of my own! I love playing fetch and giving the dogs rubs! :) I am really easy to get along with and will love to have the chance to care for your baby / babies! :) I am so excited to have this opportunity as to hopefully one day open up a dog shelter! I would love to give each animal the opportunity to have a loving home!! I can't wait to see what is in store for me! Just connect with me and I will help out!!
About: I have lots of experience with different types of animals. We have three inside kitties that were rescued when they were still bottle feeding. Two years ago we lost our 19 year old Labrador to old age. And the year before that we lost our 16 year old chow chow to old age. I will feed, water, walk and clean up after the babies. I am a full time convenience store manager for TXB. I Rover on the side to help my youngest daughter pay for college. She is currently earning her masters degree and I want to be able to help as much as possible. I am available most evenings after 6p. During the summer I am available all day Friday and Saturday. During the winter I am available all day Saturday and Sunday. I do not wish to care for anyone’s fur babies in my home. It would stress my kitties and I will not put them through any stress. I will take very good care of your fur babies in your home. I will follow all instructions given for their care and do my best to make the visit as comfortable as possible for the babies.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, and other animals, for as long as I can remember. Animals are my passion and I love every single kind I currently don’t have a job, trying to find an at home or anima care job. In the meantime I would love to care for your animals. I’m available all day every day. I live in a small apartment with 2 dogs already, sadly I won’t be able to home your dog, however I am more then willing to come to your house to care for them. I’m a stay at home mom, so my availability is pretty open. My husband and I only have 1 car and my husband works nights, so it is more challenging to take care of pets past 4:30pm. I cannot board pets in my home, I have a tiny house and no fence. I can come to your home to care for them, no problem.
About: Hi, I’m Nyeira! As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and currently have three dogs of my own. Two were adopted from shelters, and one was a stray I rescued while in college. Caring for pets from different backgrounds has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable in new situations. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs and cats because they know I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I will make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, although I generally prefer working with dogs under 80 pounds. Communication is extremely important to me. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have open availability and ask that bookings or cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am able to provide care in the form of house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on what works best for you and your pet. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I am fully committed to caring for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I am adaptable with timing and happy to follow your preferred schedule and routine to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it, with clear communication and dependable availability. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every pet care situation. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I provide care in the client’s home through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any specific behavioral or comfort preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and am comfortable administering medications when needed. I also provide consistent updates, including messages and photos, so pet parents can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy presence for pets—minimizing stress by maintaining their normal routine and treating their space and care instructions with respect and attentiveness.

About: (Please call me Seriph, thank you 🙏) I’ve taken care of pets since I was 8 when we got a dog and it was my responsibility to fed and take outside. I’ve had several successful pet sits with senior dog and cat separately I work from home so I would be able to care for your pets as much as needed. Any potty breaks or care needed I’m available for. I would take excellent care of your home for a pet sit. I’ve had great pet sits before where I’ve left the home better than I found it
