“Absolutely the best! Olivia was great this was first time using sitter. I got daily update letting us know Ellie was happy and doing well. We look forward to working with Olivia again.”
“Iuliia watched my two mini dachshunds and they had a great time. She took great care of them, sent lots of pictures and I will definitely leave them with her the next time I’m out of town.”
“Edwin provided such a great experience for our best boy while my family had to travel. This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad that the app was recommended and we found Edwin. Edwin sent photos, communicated great and even accommodated my request to do a meet and greet before confirming a reservation. I honestly couldn’t say enough good things about Edwin and Charlie’s stay with him and his family — 10 out of 10 and highly recommend to anyone local to Kyle.”
“Grace & John were the most amazing dog sitters. My two dogs were very loved and enjoyed their time with them. They took them on long walks every day. We had multiple photos of Wrigley & Ozzie everyday! They are top-notch dog sitters. I highly recommend them!”
“Yan is an EXCELLENT sitter. We are very pleased with her services. She provided photos with updates on how well the 2 Yorkies were doing while in her care. We are definitely going to use her services again.”
“Anthony is a great caregiver to my “humans only” homebody lab mix. After bad experiences with kennels, we usually opt for in home care and decided to try something new. Anthony responded quickly and was able to accommodate Cherry’s needs with no issue and the meal instructions were successfully followed. Cherry was returned to us happy, and healthy. It was evident that they had a blast in the backyard, because she mlemed and slept peacefully the rest of the night. We look forward to rebooking.”
“I can’t thank Stephanie enough! We took a long trip overseas and she watched our dog Bruce and treated him so well! We would receive updates daily, she clipped his nails, gave him oatmeal baths to help calming his skin and loved on him as if it was her own! Not to mention that our dog had a blast with her dog Fern! Highly recommend and would definitely use her services again!”
“Clarice and her husband were amazing! Very communicative and loving towards my frenchie. You can really tell that they love dogs and that’s what anybody really wants when boarding their pup. Will definitely choose them from here on out!”
“Molly loves her time with Denise. I felt nervous about dropping her off the first time but she became fast friends with Denise and her family. Denise kept me posted on a daily basis and put my mind at ease.”
“Morgan and her family were great with our pups! We were worried as a previous dog sitter canceled swim last minute due to a family emergency and we were going out of the country. I’m glad we found Morgan. She was very great at communicating daily updates and went above and beyond. Our dogs also got along with hers and made for great playtime. I highly recommend Morgan for caring for your dog!”
“I think this was Abby's 5th time with Savannah and Gabriel. They are great with her. Abby is a handful as she is only 8 months old and still doing typical puppy things. I like that S and G meet me outside their apt building, so I just hand Abby over to them. They take up her bag of food and toys, and her crate and framed puppy pad, so I can be on my way. Same when I come to pick Abby up. They have one dog, also a shih tzu. I like that they do have a playmate for Abby and also that they just have one dog and she's a small one like Abby. As I've said before, their apartment is immaculate and very nice and so is their dog. So I know that Abby won't be finding stuff on their floor to chew up and swallow. (She's still in that phase.) They also have pee pads, a playpen, nice beds, etc. S and G always keep me informed with photos while I'm away. I'm so glad I found them.”
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“We love-love-love working with Robyn and Desmond for boarding our Zadie. They are so easy to work with, clearly love the dogs in their care, and send updates that show how much fun Zadie is having at their house. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend Mariana to watch your pups! She gave great updates and send pictures and videos multiple times a day. Our two pups came back happy and even bathed! Thanks for taking great care of them!”
“Patches was the absolute best watching our Gomi for 2 weeks! She was gracious to allow Gomi to stay a little earlier after I realized there was a timing mistake. She kept us updated regularly and had no problem taking care of our very anxious boy. Gomi also isn’t usually the type to hang around other dogs so I was pleasantly surprised to see he was doing just fine with the other dogs boarded or in residence ! Definitely will be taking Gomi back to patches again!!”
“Gail was amazing with our dog. The photo updates were precious and my dog really bonded with Gail. She would be so happy to return the next time we are out of town! Thank you Gail!”

“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.”
“Madilynn was great and communicative. My cats took to her quickly and that doesn’t happen even with ppl they’ve met multiple times! I really appreciate the pics/videos she provided and how she updated me regularly during my trip. She really did go above and beyond what I expected as a first time user of the app, and as a newer cat owner who only had family/friends check in on their pets. I will be rebooking in the future! Thank you, Madilynn💜”
About: I grew up with high-energy large hunting dogs. My own dog passed away this past Fall, but I love to give affection and care to other’s furry friends. Whether your dog needs to be walked 10 miles a day or is just a couch potato, I’ve got you covered! I currently work part time as a Tax Preparer and rarely have shifts for more than 4 hrs. Please let me know your dog’s needs and I’ll be happy to discuss the dates you are requesting! Lots of love for your furry friend, I’m great at keeping a schedule, and keeping all house rules/cleanliness. Ask me anything, I’m happy to accommodate!
About: I am a self-described cat lady - I absolutely love cats! I’ve had cats ever since I can remember, with experience and a soft spot for caring for senior cats. I’ve also cared for a pregnant cat and then helped raise a litter of kittens! Additionally, I have experience in administering medication to kitties. I have a few cats of my owns, so it may be better for me to care for your kitty in their own environment. However, my cats are used to other pets in the home, so your kitty is more than welcome at my home. I offer complimentary meet and greets to see if it’s a good fit.
About: Hello! Welcome to my profile! :) My name is Yari, me and my husband are both Army veterans who just moved to the area. We are so happy to be here. I’ve taken care of puppies to elderly dogs like (Nacho the pug) for all of his life (all of 16 years) and my Luna for 13 years. I have over 15 years of dog sit/ in-home check-in experience for multiple families. I am kind, gentle and patient with every animal I care for. I work from home, so I will definitely have a lot of time for your furbabies! I am available for house sitting/ doggy day care/walks mostly anytime of any day. I am mostly free to do check ins for your pups in-home depending on what and when you’d prefer. I have 2 friendly furbabies (Luna the yorkie and Fang the Bluey) to keep your pups company. I can crate your pup or they can stretch their legs throughout the house.
“Linda was great! She watched our two dogs and they really seemed to love her. She sent some awesome videos and pictures and even played training games with our very timid boxer to get her more comfortable around her—and it worked! I’d highly recommend her!”
About: As a veterinary technician at a no-kill animal shelter, I care for hundreds of cats each year and have extensive experience administering medications, injections, diabetic care, monitoring seizure disorders, caring for kittens, seniors, and cats with special medical needs. Your cat's health, safety, and comfort are always my highest priorities. My home is designed to be a calm, cat-focused environment free from the stress and noise that can come with dogs or busy boarding facilities. I provide cozy blankets, cat trees, scratching posts, hideaways, window perches for bird watching, interactive toys, and other enrichment activities to help your cat feel secure, relaxed, and entertained during their stay. As a lifelong animal lover with experience in veterinary medicine, fostering, and animal care, I understand that every cat has a unique personality. Whether your cat is social and playful or shy and prefers a quiet corner, I tailor my care to their individual needs. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive monitoring throughout the day, and Blink cameras throughout my home help me keep an eye on guests even when I'm briefly away. I treat every cat as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, peaceful, low-stress home where they can settle in comfortably while you're away. Whether your feline family member needs extra cuddles, specialized medical care, or simply a quiet sunbeam to nap in, they'll receive compassionate, professional care from an experienced veterinary professional. 🐾🐱
“My cats were healthy, happy and well taken care of by Blayne. Opal says “yes, bring her back! Warm lap and she knows right where to scratch my ears!” Azeriphale wants another round of chase the toy mouse!”
“I cannot recommend Katy enough! She went above and beyond while caring for my cat, Frida, who is still adjusting after our recent move. Contractors showed up unexpectedly during the week, and she thoughtfully asked if they’d be back so she could plan her visits around them; just to help minimize stress for Frida. That level of care and consideration meant so much. Her visit reports were incredibly thorough. She detailed every litter box scoop (including type), and when Frida got into human food in the pantry, she not only took photos but also made sure the food was secured so it wouldn’t happen again. At one point we thought our auto feeder had failed, and she troubleshot it until she confirmed it was working properly. Frida, who is usually shy, warmed up to her instantly and showered her with affection at every visit. It was clear she has a natural gift with cats; she truly is the cat lady of Lockhart. I’d be thrilled to book her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. If you want someone who treats your pet like their own and gives you total peace of mind, she’s the one!”
“Rebekah was absolutely amazing! Her communication was fantastic, she really took care of my babies like they were her own! I recommend booking her, you won’t be disappointed! I will be booking her in the future!”
“This is the second time I’ve asked Sydney to keep my cats company and she did not disappoint! I could tell they were happy and receiving a ton of attention with all the pictures she would send. Absolute best for peace of mind!”

“Ande was a great choice! She is very professional and responsive and provides great feedback and photos. Ande is also super nice and helps put nervous pet parents at ease. This was our kitties first time alone and I was completely comfortable that he was taken care of. Thanks Ande!”

About: I have a Boston Terrier. She loves to play and meet new friends. We're always ready to welcome new four legged play date(s) in our home. 😊 🐕 I work from home so your pup will get plenty of attention, along with plenty of play time in our yard as well as some neighborhood walks.

About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.
About: Our dog of 14 years passed in 2024 and our dog of 2 years passed Dec 2025. We arent ready for a permanent new fur baby, but our hearts long to love on yours! Our kids love to run around in the backyard to wear your rambunctious puppies out! We also have experience in administering medications to animals and being gentle to older animals. I am a stay at home mom! Pet care easily fits into my day and nights. I am free to care for pee training puppies as well as needy older dogs. Animals have free reign of our house as we love them to snuggle on the couch with us! However, if your rules and training requires otherwise, we respect and honor that!
About: Hello all pet parents! I am new to Rover. I've recently relocated to Luling, TX. I am looking for small gigs like taking care of furry friends because pets are my life, as I'm sure they are yours too! Most of my professional and personal experiences with pets have been with dogs and cats, to include feedings, scheduled walks and playtimes, administering medications, bathing, nail trims, and just plain ol' cuddling. I am big on SAFETY as it is the most important thing when your pet is away from you or in someone else's care. I understand different breeds may need different types of attention, especially when factoring in age and certain health conditions. Please allow me a chance to meet your pup (or cat) and help you out occasionally! Cheers! (Smaller critters welcome, we all need a little checking on!) I’m currently a stay at home pet mom while I attend online classes to become an educator, which is self paced. It is very easy for me to balance your pets needs with my own! I may allow overnight boarding from time to time in my own home, I will keep my calendar open for that accordingly. I can take your pets outside to favored parks or areas, or care for them in your own home. I do not wish to stay overnight in your home, but may be available for extended hours.
“Anthony took amazing care of my dog He is super friendly and sent us pics and updates as requested. The place was super clean with play area inside. Also nice and secure clean yard. Highly recommend!”
“Cannot say how much we appreciate Iuliia and her care of our boy. She saved us in a last minute situation with our very anxious dog, and was amazing with him. Best rover we could have asked for.”
“We can’t thank Allina enough for taking such amazing care of our dogs, especially on such short notice. We were in a stressful situation trying to find someone last minute, and she stepped in without hesitation. She was so patient, understanding, and treated our dogs with care. Knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and compassion. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets, we wholeheartedly recommend Allina. We would absolutely book with her again when we are back 🩷!”
About: In addition to pet sitting, I also offer a convenient pet transportation service—perfect for safely getting your pet to and from grooming appointments, vet visits, or even a fun day out. It’s all part of my commitment to providing full-service care for your furry family member. As a special thank you, the first client to complete 7 consecutive days of pet sitting with us will receive a free pet transport and free grooming service on us! Your pet gets pampered—and you get peace of mind. As a dedicated pet sitter and loving pet owner myself, I treat every animal in my care like family. I prioritize safety above all else, making sure your pet feels secure, happy, and loved while you're away. With strong relationships with local groomers and vets, I’m well-connected and prepared for anything your pet may need. I offer personalized attention, dependable service, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in trusted hands. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because it’s not just a job—it’s my lifestyle. As a pet owner myself, I’m already on a consistent schedule of walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddle breaks. Adding another furry friend to the mix fits right in, and I’m always happy to give them the same love, attention, and structure I give my own dog. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with access to a secure backyard for play and potty breaks. I also take them on nearby trail walks to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. They’ll have companionship from my friendly miniature schnauzer, Luna, and plenty of attention throughout the day. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine closely—meals, walks, and favorite activities—to help them feel secure and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect.
“Stephanie was amazing! I was super nervous about leaving my puppy for the first time ever, especially because we were coming in from out of town for the weekend and not super familiar with the area. Stephanie helped ease my nerves with how knowledgeable she is! She kept me updated throughout my furbaby’s stay with videos and pictures! We will definitely be using her again when we come back into town! 10 out of 10!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our Yan! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!”

About: I love animals. I've had 2 dogs at all times for the last 22yrs. and a few cats. I live in a large 2 bdrm Apt with my 3 sweet Chihuahuas. I am a dog person and this is a dog house. Plenty of room for a few more to play with. My dogs are friendly. We have a dog park on the property. There are only small dogs here as it is a Senior Living.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and caring for animals is something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, supporting mobility challenges, and providing a calm, patient environment. I know how important consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets who need a little extra attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. I currently have cats of my own but they are used to other pets in the home, including dogs. Additionally, I offer complimentary meet and greets prior to petting your pet, to see if it’s a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m able to interact with and love on your fur baby all day. I can also pick up and drop off your little one if need be. I do have a few cats of my own, so if you have a kitty needing care, it may be best for me to care for them in their own environment.

About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around animals since I was 5 years old, growing up caring for ranch animals, dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I live a very active lifestyle. I’m an avid runner and extremely into fitness, so staying consistent, disciplined, and energetic is already a huge part of who I am. Taking care of animals naturally goes hand in hand with that lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, going on walks, staying active, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I take animal safety and comfort very seriously both inside and outside of my home. I have a fully fenced patio area that provides pets with a secure outdoor space for fresh air, playtime, and exercise while staying safe at all times. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly, socialized, and used to being around other animals. However, I understand that every pet has different comfort levels and needs, so my dogs can always be safely crated or separated if necessary to ensure visiting pets feel comfortable and stress-free.

I am a stay at home mom! Pet care easily fits into my day and nights. I am free to care for pee training puppies as well as needy older dogs. Animals have free reign of our house as we love them to snuggle on the couch with us! However, if your rules and training requires otherwise, we respect and honor that!
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was 11 years old, coming to college was hard without them. They’ve been family to me, taking care of other dogs brings me closer to home! I’m currently on summer break, my availability and flexibility is unlimited! I’m willing to work around your schedule to best fit the needs of your dogs! I currently live alone in a apartment, I’m able to cater to the needs of your pet with whatever that might be! There’s also a dog park located at my apartment complex!
About: I’ve taken care of my own fur baby for 7 years now. Friends and family has relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets as well. I do have another full time job so I’m mostly available in the evenings but I’m happy to squeeze in some times for walks and drop ins. I’m wide open on weekends. I walk my own doggo on three 10- 15 minute walks a day. I feed and bath my pup as well. Additionally, I give lots of cuddles and love.

“Blayre has been terrific with our dogs. They both were so excited to see her and loved their walks. She was fantastic with the dogs and she even picked up the yard where the dogs had torn up one of their toys. We highly recommended Blayre for services.”
About: I have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Great Pyrenees, raised puppies from birth, loved senior dogs through their golden years, and cared for rescue dogs with unique personalities and needs. My own family includes four spoiled pups: a 12-year-old Chihuahua, a 12-year-old rescue, and two playful French Bulldog puppies who keep me on my toes every day. They are my babies, and I know that’s exactly how you feel about yours. I understand that hiring a sitter means trusting someone with a member of your family. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, while respecting their routine, personality, and all the little things that help them feel happy and secure. I am taking the summer off before returning to school three days a week this fall. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. My own daily routine already revolves around caring for my two dogs, so adding walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or overnight care fits naturally into my day. I carefully plan my schedule so every pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve rather than feeling rushed between appointments. I treat every pet as if they were my own: with patience, kindness, and respect for their individual personalities and routines. I know that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether that’s medication, feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, or bedtime routines, I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to details, keep a clean environment, and always prioritize your pet’s safety. You’ll also receive regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your furbaby is happy and well cared for.

About: Hi there! Thank you for checking out my profile! I have been professionally working in the animal care industry since 2018. From small family owned businesses to corporate owned facilities. I have worked alongside experienced trainers and with amazing groomers, but most of my career I spent working as a kennel manager at a boarding/daycare/vet facility. I now work more with shelters and rescues in the area. This being said I have worked with MANY different temperaments over the years and pride myself in being well versed in dog body language and behavior. I also am experienced with other species such as birds and reptiles. I'm passionate about animal care and have always worked to grow my skills in this field! Please feel free to message me with any questions! *(Flexible with my rates/days message me! I will work with you!) * Thank you for reading, hope to hear from you soon! I'm available anytime Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Any other day of the week my schedule does tend to change so please message in advance! I'm usually available I just need a heads up :) Our pets needs can vary greatly but I always go over a questionnaire before my visit to ensure I'm properly prepared for each animal under my care.
