“Great communication. She took care of our dogs like they were her own. She definitely has a gift for caretaking. This was my 2nd time using her services and I will book again”
“So happy I found Holly! We scheduled a meet and greet and Harold instantly got along. When it was time to drop him off, he walked right in, barely saying goodbye to me 🤣. Holly kept in touch, sending pics of Harold’s adventures and I could tell he was in great hands. 10/10 will definitely be in touch for future trips”
“Shannon and Ray are incredible!! we have two dogs, one of which is only one years old and a bit of a handful. They dealt with her antics with laughter and love, I cannot recommend Shannon and Ray enough! Best Rover ever 👏👏👏”
“From the very start we were very confident that our dogs were going to get as much of a vacation as we did! We got tons of pictures and videos of walks and playing in the yard that showed us how well cared for our babies were! Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind and a fun home to leave our dogs at while we’re away ❤️”
“I went on a trip 5 day trip and left my 15lbs. chiweenie with Nelda and she made him feel right at home. He had all the backyard time he wanted and I even got daily updates and pictures. On pick-up day my flight got canceled and rebooked for the following day. Nelda was very accommodating and understanding and he was able to stay an extra day with her. I would leave my pup with her again.”
“Kyle was absolutely WONDERFUL with my dog Axel. He was very attentive and loving, and his dog knowledge is extensive. I highly recommend Kyle for your next Boarding!! -Richard Schwartz”
“My dog Minnie quickly got very comfortable with Nadia, which is a very good sign to me since Minnie can be timid. Nadia sent a variety of photos daily, to show how well Minnie was doing. She also let me know about Minnie's feeding and taking medication, and sleeping. I loved being so well informed, and by the photos I could see how well Minnie was doing. I would definitely use Nadia again.”
“I have found my Schnoodle’s caregiver in Kimberly!!! Rosie was well taken care of and I’d get daily updates and photos from Kimberly! I was at peace knowing Rosie was in great human company and spent time with the resident house pets (a cat lol and three other K9s)! I highly recommend Kim!!!”
“Qui was amazing as usual! We always feel comfortable leaving our dog, Momo, with Qui and his family. They take him on walks and are great at playing with him. He always sends us pictures and videos which we love. On this most recent trip our flights were delayed and then canceled, but Qui was so accommodating to keep taking care of Momo while we figured a way back home.”

“Brandy was incredible and made our unfortunate funeral trip as easy as possible. She even helped reconnect our pet-cam and kept us up to date with the sweetest pictures of our cat crew. Her kindness, flexibility, understanding, and patience was exactly what we needed and gave us so much confidence and peace with our sudden travel plans. Simply put: she is amazing, and I intend to reach out to her again on the next (hopefully less sudden and more positive!) trip.”
“Catherine L. did a great job with my kitties while I was away for the weekend. She fed them according to directions and even managed to snap a photo of the kitten, which is hard to do! I am very happy with her services and would love to engage her next time I'm out of town.”
“Geoffrey took amazing care of our cat, Dexter and our house whole we were gone on a month long trip. Our cat loves being near his humans and our travels are always hard on him but this is the most well adjusted he has been when we have returned from a trip. It is obvious Geoffrey gave him a lot of love while we were gone and I am so thankful for his care.”
“Where do I even begin, Jennifer is absolutely amazing! I left my little Finley in her hands and she made me feel so at ease. I will 100% be rebooking with her!! Absolutely amazing!!”
About: While I haven’t owned cats myself, I’ve cared for friends’ and neighbors’ cats over the years and have become very comfortable with their different personalities and routines. I’m experienced with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, giving plenty of playtime and attention, and making sure cats feel comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every cat is different—some love to play while others just want a calm, familiar presence—and I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Lulu was amazing with my kitties while I was away on vacation. I was at ease knowing my cats would be well taken care of. She provided detailed updates, many pictures and lots of pets and love for my cats. Definitely recommend and will rebook in the future!”
“My cat really liked Bethany. It was my first time having pet sitter and I’m so glad she took good care of my cat. She’s very professional, I would definately ask her when I need pet sitter again. Thank you!”
“Rachel took excellent care of our cats with consistent updates, thoughtful attention to routines, and a genuinely calm, caring presence. We came home to happy, well-settled cats and a spotless setup, and we’d gladly book again.”
“Sarah has been absolutely perfect for our two cats Juno and Meef. She has gone above and beyond by spending time and playing with them. I loved the photos and updates that I received every day. I can tell she genuinely has a lot of love for animals and it’s given us a peace of mind knowing our cats are in good hands. I would definitely have Sarah watch our babies again!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Samantha. She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of our cat while we were away. We especially appreciated her flexibility when our plans changed and she was able to come for an additional day on short notice. She kept us updated, gave us peace of mind, and it was clear that our cat was well cared for and comfortable. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and we look forward to working with her again in the future.”
“Kristie was a fantastic sitter for my cat over Christmas! I was a little nervous setting him up with a new sitter over the holidays, but Kristie is the perfect combination of laid back and responsible! She made sure to play with him and get his energy out! Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Juvadee provided exceptional care to our cat while we were away on our honeymoon. We booked an hour-long check-in, and from the photos and her detailed review, we felt at peace knowing that our cat was loved on and taken care of with such attention to detail. We cannot wait to book Juvadee again!”
“Tracey did an excellent job taking care of my kitty while I was away! She was very quick about messaging me back and even came by to meet Frank before I left town. All of my instructions were followed and I returned home to a happy and healthy kitty! She even watered my plants for me which was a huge plus. I received daily video of theyre time together and ample pictures so I didn’t have to worry. I will certainly trust Tracey again in the future to take care of my kitty :)”
“Stephanie was wonderful - very attentive to each of my cats’ needs and was quick to respond to any messages. I appreciated her notes at the end of each visit as well. Definitely recommend!”
About: I got my first dog when I was 12. His name was Sebastion and he was literally my best friend through some tough middle school years. He lived to the ripe old age of 13 and were always together except in my college years. More recently I have been house sitting and dog-sitting for family members and friends. I can not emphasize enough how much animals are drawn to me. It's like a not-so-super-power, I'm always that guy at the party that gets trapped by the dog or cat on the couch (I say trapped but I love it!). When I’m house-sitting, I’m generally there full-time. I am recovering from sciatica at the moment so I’m not working my other job right now. Which means I will be there almost all the time to give your animals all the pets and play they can handle. I take my clients privacy very seriously. I would never invite anyone else over to your house. I am definitely on the introvert side of the personality scale, so I’m quite happy hanging out reading, binging tv and loving on animals. I sometimes joke that I like animals more than humans. I’ve been with Rover for over two years now and have some of the best metrics and reviews in the area. I’ve never had any major issues or emergencies. But, I’ve done quite a bit of research on dog and animal care and have no doubt that I could spot behavior that isn’t normal and that could be medically relevant. I would love to be your pets’ temporary human while you’re away and their forever sitter! I’m recovering from a back injury at the moment so this is my main gig. So I am available for your pets pretty much full time. I will sometimes head to my house for a few hours in afternoon but rarely more than a few hours. I'm not currently living in residences where I can board pets, landlord won't allow it. When i move, which should be soon, I will offer this service.
About: What sets me apart is my calmness and reliability. I have over 20 years of experience giving dogs and cats medication (pills, liquids, eye drops, insulin, etc.). I’m also very thorough about cleaning up after pets and keeping your home clean while you’re gone.
About: I’ve had many pets over the years since I was a child. I have cared for friends/family pets whenever they needed it. I’ve cared for cats and dogs that range from large to small, so there’s no pet i can’t handle 😌 I am currently a student at Austin Community College, I take my courses online, and that makes my schedule very flexible and able to adapt to most pet care needs Safety is my absolute priority. I always check well being of pets, and ensure they have a safe environment to be in I make sure to follow pet parents instructions and schedules to the letter On walks, I make sure pets remain on their leash and remain mindful of other people and pets I know how hard it is to leave your pet, which is why I provide complete transparency, and send daily updates on your pets 🐕🐈

“Lots of room for Nyx to play with other the other dogs. The host was professional and efficient also very nice and straight forward about what she expects. I look forward to the next time for sure”
“Elizabeth was wonderful. She sent us pics and videos throughout the day! Ollie looked like he was enjoying himself and came home very tired. Elizabeth also communicates with us very well answering any questions I have etc. we have been very pleased with the care she gives our little Ollie.”
“Tracey is the best, period. We are grateful to her beyond words can express. She looked after our puppy girl Arya and sent us pictures without even asking. Highly recommend Tracey.”
“Accommodated me at last minute and did a fantastic job with my pup. Took her for a walk at a local pro and fed her dinner and was flexible with pick-up & drop-off time. Would definitely use again. She’s passed out on her teddy bear now so I know she had a great time!”
“I couldn’t be happier, Paige is so kind and friendly, and my lil pug had an amazing time! Paige sent me pics and texts a lot! And because she has other dogs, my puppy got to socialize! I am so grateful.”
About: I have always had a love for animals. I have a dog, and 3 cats! I love all new friends and love to play. I have experience with dogs suffering from eye issues and general stomach issues. I have worked at a doggy daycare facility and have lots of experience fostering dogs and cats of all ages. My husband and I just moved to back to Texas from Pennsylvania and am so happy to be back. I am available pretty much at all times! I have a very flexible schedule for the most part and even work remotely most days! I personally do not crate my dogs. In my home they free roam! If I am instructed to crate animals and am house sitting I am willing to do so! My dogs love new friends and my kitten loves them too!
About: Hello there! My partner and I just moved to Austin and have been trying to explore every inch of it whenever possible. Growing up in Hawaii I was a volunteer at the local humane society and no kill shelters off and on for many years which ignited my love of dogs.🐺 💗 After college I spent 2 years as a lead for a busy doggy daycare in Seattle, 1 year as a manager of a dog food / grooming boutique in California, 1 year as a dog trainer in Los Angeles and my partner and I have fostered many dogs before they were adopted. I live in a house with a fenced-in yard with my guy, our 9 year old Husky and our 2 year old Beauceron. We like to play and wonder around our neighborhood with our dogs and I'd love it if your pup could join us! I don’t have a full time job at the moment and my partner works from home, so I have lots of time for walks and enriching activities! Our house has a spacious fenced in yard and multiple bedrooms that can be used for guest dogs. We also have an XL crate and baby gates that we utilize to keep the dogs separate for feeding/ sleeping/ breaks/ and anytime a human is not right there to monitor them. Dogs are never left outside alone, and when we need to leave the house we put every dog in their own space with water and a treat and turn on ring cameras inside to monitor them.
About: We have consistently cared for and owned dogs for many years, while also sitting for friends and family. We have experience with older puppies, adults, and senior age dogs, including those needing hands-on care and medications. We live in a very safe neighborhood and take the utmost care to ensure our clients’ pups are well looked after and shown personalized care and attention. You can rest easy knowing your pup is with a dedicated, dog loving family and bonding with our own fur pup Finn. We have a lot of flexibility with our schedule and work from home. Someone is always available at our home to care for and watch over playtime, while maintaining personalized home care routines. We have a fenced-in yard in a safe neighborhood with plenty of room for pups to run and play. We also have our own fur pup Finn who is laid back and loves to socialize with all types of dogs.
“It was our first time trying out Rover and it did not disappoint. Our dogs loved their stay and we will be booking with Ms. Zhian’s family for more. They were super friendly and welcoming which we really appreciated.”
About: Depending on your dog's energy level and preferences, I can provide leisurely neighborhood walks, backyard play sessions, or longer walks and runs for active dogs. I also have experience taking care of senior dogs, so pills or shots are no issue. One of the biggest advantages I have to offer is that I work from home full-time. This means your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pup needs frequent potty breaks, extra playtime, medication reminders, or simply enjoys having someone nearby, we're here to help. I live in North Austin in a single-family home with a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Our home is already designed with dogs in mind, including a doggy door, plenty of toys, enrichment activities, and comfortable places to relax.
About: After losing our beloved senior pup at 16, we discovered how much we loved taking care of friends and family's dogs! Since then we have adopted Penny who gets along fabulously with other dogs, male or female. I'm looking forward to spending time with your dog! We treat all our fur guests as if they were our own. I like to walk twice a day, in the morning and evening. Both my husband and I work from home so one of us is available to care for anything your pup needs. Walk 2Xday always on leash. Usually feed 2Xday. We can let them out to the backyard as needed. Always have fresh water indoors and in the backyard.

“Loved Lida and her mom! When I picked up my pups after their first daycare, they were happy to see me. But didn’t seem in a big hurry to leave either. That’s high praise since one of my pups is usually happy to leave just about anywhere but our house.”
“Deanna was perfect taking care of my doberman puppy! She followed all of the instructions I gave and made sure Kobe was well taken care of and supervised the entire time. I was nervous since this was the first time I had someone sit my two month old baby but Deanna sent me lots of pictures and was very accommodating!”
About: I’ve cared for pets for over 5 years, including dogs of all sizes and temperaments as well as cats with unique personalities.

I understand how important trust and consistency are, so I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved at all times.

“Rohan was very helpful with an urgent request. Communication was easy, friendly and clear. My dogs seemed to enjoy the visit. Rohan kept us posted with timely messages and pictures on the dogs' activities. He was even kind enough to return the food bowls cleaned! Very thankful!”
“Jeff provided excellent daycare for my Basenji, Pika. He was responsive to texts and has a friendly, positive personality. Pika had a great experience, which assured me to do boarding in the future. Thank you for taking good care of Pika!”
About: I have never gone more than 1 year without pets in my home! I have 15+ years experience with both dogs and cats, with a wide range of breeds. I do exceptionally well with both calm and energetic pets. I am a gym rat and animal lover all in one, so whether they need cuddles or play time, I’m the girl they need! Fun fact, I even have a tattoo that says, “some angles choose fur instead of wings” because I sometimes like animals more than people ( LOL ! ) I am a full time entrepreneur and personal trainer, so I have open availability for all of my business ventures, including pet care. If you have special requests or needs, do not hesitate to ask! Pets that board with me will be taken to use the restroom often. They will be walked at least 2-3x a day on a leash where other dogs are allowed (no aggressive dogs to board please!). If you need in-home care for your pet, I am open to following detailed instruction to make sure your pet is cared for entirely!

“Tracey sent photos and a map of where she walked with my girl. I am always nervous about leaving her home alone but Tracey was on time and so friendly. She did a meet and greet which put my mind at ease also. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I've taken care of pets when I was younger, but throughout the past couple of years I haven't cared for many animals. I'll watch a friends dog here and there, but I'd love to get more into animal care. Pets give off special energies and I love how they can make a person feel more comfortable and relaxed. I'd love to have pets when I move into a place of my own, but until then I'll care for yours! Pretty open availability - just get with me on details! Luckily, I work from home full-time, so we should be able to work something out! I'm generally very gentle and patient when it comes to animal care. I strongly believe in listening to the owners needs and methods of caring for their pets as it will allow for me to give your pet the best care possible. I love playtimes and cuddling with dogs and cats, so expect them to receive lots of love! I will happily follow any protocol you have for your pet as long as you clearly communicate that with me beforehand.

About: I'm a lover of both cats and dogs, and have worked with and pet sat for many! I've worked especially with a large variety of cats as staff at my local animal shelter, and help care for my family's senior dog as much as I can. This has included newborn kittens and puppies to seniors in need, as well as many that need some extra care and medical attention. With this experience, as well as multiple family friend pet sitting jobs over the years, I'm confident I can assist you with babies of all kinds! I am currently unemployed and would absolutely be able to dedicate as much time as you need to your animals! Please just let me know what works best for you. I am unable to bring animals to my home at the moment with a dog that doesn't get along with others very well, but if you are comfortable with me visiting your residence, I will do my absolute best to make sure your animal is comfortable with me caring for them.
About: I'm an absolute dream for pet parents! With over 35 years taking care of animals, I am a great choice for peace of mind, precision in following details, and trust. If your dog is high energy and wants a long walk or run during my stay with them all the better! I'm training for an Ultra marathon in 2026. I took a break from Rover since I had another business and small children to care for, but I'm BACK! My managers and employees handle my established pet care business in Central Austin currently. Rover gives me a chance to continue doing what I love while being able to continue providing employment and stability for the crew that's worked for me for many years. I'm great with special needs animals. I'm comfortable giving injections and other necessary medications. Special diets will be followed and only the best treats provided. About this sitter: My father traveled the NW and West Coast as an AKC judge, handler and groomer before hanging up the leashes to pursue other talents. Traveling with him and handling hundreds of pets from an early age provides me an unprecedented amount of knowledge. I've spent the last 15 years managing a very successful pet sitting company in both Portland and Austin. Recently we moved to Mexico for 3 years and explored the Yucatan from 2022-2025. We moved back so my oldest can pursue their career and start college, and my younger kids are gifted and interested in diving deep into sports. I have an active family and lifestyle with a lot of energy to spare for you and your pets! I currently have the time and attention to give with Overnight care in your home. I am working from home on passion projects and building a new business so my time is dedicated to your household while I am there. My teens care for our animals when I am away from my own home. They have years of experience as well from working alongside me their whole lives.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family ever since I was a little kid. I love them so much! Growing up I’ve always helped friends and family watch their animals for them. As an adult, I work in animal care as my career. I help provide medical care, run play groups, take fun walks, and spend quality time with these wonderful animals. My heart is dedicated to caring for these beautiful animals. To me, pets are family, and nothing is more important than family. I will provide the best care for them so you do not have to worry about your pets whether you’re at work or on vacation. I work for a local nonprofit in animal care, four days a week. My available days are Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I am available at any time and for as many visits or walks that are needed on those days. I’m here to help you! 😊 To me, you’re home is you and your pets safe place. I treat each pet and home with the utmost respect and care. I make sure to make a very soft vocalizing entrance so to not stress your dog(s) out when I enter. Whether you want me to take them out for a nice fun walk or simply just check in on them and let them out into a backyard, your dog(s) will never be left alone, not even for one second. Every minute from start to finish is quality time with them. I am also very comfortable providing medications. I also i’m not afraid to get my hands dirty and help clean up an accident that may have happened from a dog that is not housebroken yet. You just let me know what you need and I will go above and beyond providing it.
About: My first dog was a year old when I was born. He was my protector and best friend. I have rarely been without a dog, and my current BFF is a 3-year-old beagle named Daisy Duke. Daisy is a delight and the source of much entertainment. She loves everything and everyone. We would love to love on your fur babies and care for your home so that you can enjoy your travels with peace of mind. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. As long as you are somewhat flexible and can give me a little notice, I will make sure your babies get the exercise, attention, medications, dinners, and love they deserve when you cannot be there. In our initial meeting, we will discuss any bad habits, allergies, hazards, or other concerns you may have regarding your pet's safety and the security of your home. Safety is of the utmost importance.
About: I whistle when I'm having a good time, and with dogs, it's always a good time. From sweet shy dogs to rambunctious puppies-at-heart, I'll make sure your best friends enjoy being themselves, whether they prefer to play, walk, snooze... or dance! I have a playful female dog, who's great with other dogs so if you're looking to socialize your pup or just add more playtime, here's your chance! Having worked in a Doggy Daycare and an Animal Shelter, I've experienced taking care of dogs of all kinds of personalities and understand common behaviors and body language. I love looking after medium and small dogs and can provide supervised playtime and 30-minute walks if requested. I strongly recommend having a meet-and-greet to make sure our dogs get along before having them for daycare. Please let me know if you have special requests!
About: Hi! I’m Wade, and I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs in my family and spent my childhood dog-sitting for friends, so I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like part of my family. Whether it’s walks or playtime, I’m excited to give your dog the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. I work from home and have a very friendly dog of my own. I can offer daycare or boarding at your convenience. I can provide walks and outside playtime every 4 hours at the longest, usually much more frequently than that. I have a fenced yard and my dog is very friendly and crate trained. I am detail oriented and can make sure your pets are cared for as you would care for them. I make sure to watch dogs as they play to ensure that they play safely.
“Juvadee is amazing soul, and was so great with our foster pup Beau. He was a very needy boy and she was so patient with him. She is so communicative and I always know our animals are in good hands with her.”
About: Since moving to the USA two years ago, I have missed the joy of having pets in my home. I am an avid animal lover with a deep sense of responsibility, and I’m looking to share that affection with your furry family members. My two young sons (ages 4 and 5) have been taught from day one how to be gentle and respectful toward animals. We provide a calm, supervised, and loving environment where your pet will be treated like one of our own. Whether it’s play, walks, or quiet companionship, we are ready to surround your pet with care and attention! I'm currently working part-time remotely. I am available for walks from 7.30 am till 12.00 and from 4.00 pm till 8 pm. I'm available for boarding during all the week. Your pet’s routine is my priority! My part-time remote work schedule means I am home throughout the week to provide consistent care and cuddles. I am available for walks during the early morning (7:30 AM – 12:00 PM) to get their energy out, or in the late afternoon and evening (4:00 PM – 8:00 PM). For boarding, my home is open all week long, ensuring your furry friend has a safe, loving, and supervised place to stay while you’re away.

“From the very start we were very confident that our dogs were going to get as much of a vacation as we did! We got tons of pictures and videos of walks and playing in the yard that showed us how well cared for our babies were! Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind and a fun home to leave our dogs at while we’re away ❤️”
“Kyle was absolutely WONDERFUL with my dog Axel. He was very attentive and loving, and his dog knowledge is extensive. I highly recommend Kyle for your next Boarding!! -Richard Schwartz”
“Qui was amazing as usual! We always feel comfortable leaving our dog, Momo, with Qui and his family. They take him on walks and are great at playing with him. He always sends us pictures and videos which we love. On this most recent trip our flights were delayed and then canceled, but Qui was so accommodating to keep taking care of Momo while we figured a way back home.”

“Erik and his wife did an amazing job watching our Husky! They sent me multiple pictures and videos of him at the dog park at their apartment complex and the walks they went on. They were very fast to respond to my initial inquiry and also were very communicative during our dog’s stay. If we ever need an Austin pet sitter, we will be utilizing them again!!”
“Renada is a great caretaker. My experience has always been amazing and she really loves dogs. She has given her all to take amazing care of my dog and I could not be happier with her services.”
“Had my original sitter fall through a couple days before my trip and Mina and Antony were super kind enough to plan a quick meet and greet with Riddim and I a day before my trip. Mina sent me photos multiple times throughout the day while I was away and Riddim looked super happy and well taken care of. It was my first time using Rover, and safe to say I found the people to take care of my doggo should I ever need them again. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Sinthiana was great!! Dojie really enjoyed her time there . I got lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I would definetely use her again. Also , her flexibility was a major plus for me . This was my first ever rover experience and it was amazing !!”
“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!”
“When we travel, we always look forward to leaving our bud Murray with Holly and Brady. They are awesome! We’ve had the opportunity to work with Holly and Brady several times when we were traveling. They treat Murray as if he was one of their own. Photos are regularly sent so you can see your pet in action. It’s assuring to leave your pet with a great sitter when traveling. Holly and Brady are those sitters! Strongly recommended.”
“Nahid & his dog Vincent were the most amazing pet sitters. They had my two small dogs for about 12 days. He sent us tons of videos so we could see how well our dogs were doing. He’s super communicative and very kind. A real animal lover my dogs were happy and well cared for there’s nothing more you could ask for in a pet sitter”
