“This was my first time using rover and I can say the experience that I got was so good. Breanna did a good job of keeping me posted at all times and sending me pictures of my dog. This really eased my mind and made the time away from my dog easier.”
“Very good experience and will definitely be coming back! My dog absolutely loved staying with her and he usually is really very anxious with others. She was very understanding and patient.”
“Steven and Randi were great with my sweet old lady doggo. She came home happy and calm after hanging out a couple of days at their place with a little doggo friend. I appreciated the pictures and seeing her get a walk in (her favorite part of any day :). I'm relieved to find such good care for She-Ra when I have to travel, and we'll both look forward to her going back for another visit next time.”
“What a wonderful experience! We got daily updates with photos and Alan & Lynn's family treated our babies, like their own pets(they slept on the couch, on laps, etc). It's nice to know when we go out of town we have a loving environment for our 2 pups.”
“This was my first time having to use a dog sitter and was not disappointed ? Loretta kept me updated with lots of pictures and texts of my old girl. Will definitely book again. :)”
“Mazzy was in the greatest hands ever, and i will definately be a return customer of Grace and John, they updated me on mazzy while i was away and kept my mind at ease while away. 10/10 reccomend!”
“Process was smooth and the family was very accommodating; they picked Luka up and dropped him back at our house. Seamless. Would def use them again (if they’d be open to hosting our crazy dog again!)”
“My dogs have a dog door and someone home pretty much all the time. They come and go out the door as they please and Cindy was able to provide a similar routine + her dogs = bonus friends! Cindy is a pleasure to work with. She is well equipped for the job and everything went smoothly. I I knew they were in good hands while I was away!”
“Pamela can watch my baby anytime! While I was gone I barely had reception but whenever I got one, there were updates about Chase. Pics and comforting words so that I wouldn't worry too much. Chase came back happy to see us but not disengaged or traumatized. You can see she truly has a love for pets. Whenever I need a sitter, I'm looking for Pamela as my 1st option. Thank you so much for putting my family at ease.”
“Kristin and her family were awesome! Easy to book, great communication, updates with pictures throughout the stay. Bane and Zoe had a great time, and were clean and and happy when they got home. Not entirely sure, but they may have even gotten a bath! I swear, that's how fresh they were! We will definitely use Kristin again.”
“Our dog enjoyed her visit (dog-cation) with Megan while she was safe, included, and cared for. Megan's home and family were very inviting, dog friendly, and consciousness. We will call on her services again if we are in the area, and we highly recommend Megan for everyone's next Rover experience.”

“Laura was caring and loving to our cats while on vacation. She communicated quickly and we came home to our cats happy and healthy. We would have her watch our cats again in the future! 🩷🐈🐈⬛”
“Katriana is amazing! She came by before our trip to meet all the fur babies, see where everything was that is needed to take care of the babies and to reassure me that my babies were in good hands. I felts 100% comfortable leaving all my babies in her hands and the stress that I was feeling was eliminated after meeting her. Our fur babies were loved and taken care of while we were out of town. Katriana is tentative, respectful, reassuring, and loving. I would recommend her to everyone that is looking for a wonderful pet sitter because she goes above and beyond.”
“I was a repeat client of Jennifer's when she lived in Iowa and I wanted to leave one final review. She was amazing and we were very sad to see her move. She would drop in on my two senior aged cats who take daily medication. She is very good adjusting the rates for cats and was available on short notice a couple times. She went out of her way (helped once when we ran out of a medication), took great photos, and gave me thorough updates. I would highly recommend for any sitting you might need!”
“Kara did a great job caring for my pets and keeping us updated with the details of their care. Professional, clear communication, and quick responses made the process easy! She was willing and able to work with us on the rates of care for our kitties, as well as caring for our more unique animals- gecko lizard and guinea pigs. Highly recommend her!”
“Such a kind and professional sitter! Sent great pictures and updates throughout her time with my pets, made it easy and comfortable to be away from them for the first time. Overall went above and beyond for my boys and I am so thankful! Would definitely recommend and would absolutely book with her again ☺️”
“Robyn was great. We got stranded by weather circumstances and she continued to visit our pets until we could get home two days later. Competent and efficient and the kitties were happy and purring upon our return”
“Samantha was such a great cat sitter! She was friendly and experienced and clearly took very good care of our cat. She communicated great and sent awesome pictures. Can’t wait to use her services again!!!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for cats and currently care for my male cat, Dachi, on my property every day. Through caring for him, I’ve learned the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each cat’s unique personality and routine. I know that cats require a calm and attentive approach, especially when they are away from their owners or adjusting to a new environment. I make sure cats have a clean, comfortable, and low-stress environment with fresh food and water, regular litter box maintenance, attention to behavior changes, and affection or space depending on their comfort level. Whether a cat is playful and social or more independent and reserved, I adapt my care to fit their needs and help them feel safe and comfortable. I take pride in being dependable, observant, and caring, and I understand how important trust is when someone leaves their pet in another person’s care. My goal is always to provide reliable care and peace of mind while making sure your cat feels comfortable, relaxed, and well looked after.
“She was flexible with my schedule and able to come at odd hours that I needed since I work evenings! She was great with the pups- played with them safely, fed them and sent detailed reports! Definitely going to book again!”
About: Experienced cat caregiver devoted to feline well-being. Skilled in providing affectionate attention, play, and personalized care. Committed to creating a stress-free and happy environment for your beloved furballs. I grew up with cats and at one time had 3 of my own, so I'm very comfortable and knowledgeable in all things cat care related. I have experience giving subcutaneous IVs to cats, as well as oral meds. Fun fact: I moved abroad for a year and brought my cat with me. I'm knowledgeable in pet import documentation, vaccinations, and other requirements.
“Hayley did a great job with the drop-in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's was flexible with their schedule and great with our specific instructions. Would recommend and will use Hayley again.”
“Downright phenomenal and so accommodating! I was so worried about Sophie and her being stressed but so blessed she settled in so well. 10000/10 would recommend and book again!”
“Azjah did a great job of taking care of our dogs while we were out of the area. Received pictures and feedback every day to let me know how they were doing. Would highly recommend, and look forward to using her services in the future.”
“Honestly amazing! I was out of town when I noticed through our cameras that the autofeeder I had for the stray cats wasn't dispensing any food. It was a sudden request but Ashley was able to unjam the feeder and also offered to buy and refill the food when the food ran out. They even hid a package for me that was delivered while I was away so it wasn't stolen. For my first time using Rover I am highly impressed and thankful for Ashley. They additionally provide live updates and pictures during visits which is much appreciated. My request didn't require direct interaction with the cats but I think this is a reflection for how capable and reliable they are.”

About: Please note that Rover retains a 20% service fee from each booking, so my rates are set to remain fair while still reflecting the level of care and attention I provide. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every pet, and I take great pride in the quality of care I deliver. I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and reptiles—since a young age. Over the years, family members and friends have consistently trusted me to feed, bathe, and walk their pets, which has helped me build a strong foundation in reliable and compassionate animal care. I do have two young daughters, ages 4 and 3. They are very well-behaved around animals and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful—such as not pulling on tails or ears. I also work from home as a nail technician and run a small coffee/food business, which allows me to be present throughout the day. Because of this, your pet will receive consistent supervision, attention, and plenty of playtime. I’m very flexible and happy to work with you to accommodate scheduling needs, including times and dates. I offer a variety of toys and a spacious backyard where pets can safely roam and play. I also provide high-quality treats, including 100% beef or chicken options, as well as organic peanut butter cookies made specifically for dogs. In addition, I provide eye, ear, and paw wipes to help keep your pet clean and comfortable during their stay.

I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats and various other animals from the time I was very young! My family has always had many pets around our home and my children absolutely love all pets as their own. Pet care would fit right into our daily routine. I have many hands that can help with pet care and ensure that your pet is very spoiled and well loved while in my home. We will not board more than 2 pets at a time. If the two pets are from different homes they will not be left in the same room with each other when we leave our home. Your pets safety while in our care is of utmost importance to me. I can crate your pet as needed or not. Take your pet on walks and make sure they are given plenty of attention and love during their stay in our home.

About: Hi there, my name’s Trinity! I’ve lived with pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and the gerbils that I researched months for before presenting my findings to my parents (they caved). Before earning my BA in Psychology, I studied animal science at TTU for two years in hopes to become a veterinarian. While my career has changed drastically, I still love spending time with animals and frequently volunteer with local animal shelters. I currently work two part-time jobs, one during weekday afternoons and the other on weekend mornings. My pets get their meals and walks before I leave for work. I am no stranger to a commute as a recent UTSA grad and as someone who is constantly driving all over town for work/volunteer opportunities. In fact, it gives me more time to listen to music in the car! I have an acre of land with a fenced in backyard with plenty of open space for your favorite child to run around. Our community is in a quiet country neighborhood, perfect for low-risk dog-walking.
About: Animals ranging from Sugar Gliders to cats and dogs to cows have been a part of my life since before I could walk. I used to foster medical case kittens when I lived in Georgia to increase their chances of being adopted into their furever homes I currently work part time, so I can love on your furbabies every day except for tuesdays and wednesdays until after 3 PM. Unfortunately, my home is not pet friendly, but I would love to come to your home and make friends with your animals. I am well-versed in most types of dogs- large and small, timid and excited that I exist, aggressive and love spongey. I have experience with pets working on their potty training and fur babies learning boundaries, as well as animals needing special medical attention.
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around dogs — and raising my own Doberman, Skyla and Chihuahua, Bunny — I truly can’t imagine life without them! Caring for dogs isn’t just my job, it’s something I genuinely love. Dog care is my full-time business, so I’m home throughout the week to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I do not kennel dogs unless requested by the owner, but if your dog is crate-trained or prefers their own kennel setup, I’m happy to accommodate that in my living room space. We have a fully fenced yard for supervised play, exercise, and lots of tail wags. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns — I’m always happy to chat and make sure you feel confident leaving your pup in my care!

Would love to meet more local furbabies. I am used to keeping pets in designated areas, as my mom has indoor cats & I am aware some dogs are escape artists waiting on their next adventure.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to care for pets at every stage of life. I’m experienced with training puppies using patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also have strong senior-care skills, including helping with mobility support, administering medications, and keeping a calm, comfortable routine. I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I plan my schedule around the pets I’m responsible for. I set aside dedicated times each day for feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure each pet gets consistent attention. I’m very routine-oriented, so it’s easy for me to stay on top of medication schedules, training sessions, and any special needs. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine exactly—feeding schedules, medication needs, potty breaks, and playtime. I pay close attention to behavior, keep their space tidy, and make sure they always have fresh water. Whether I’m in my home or the client’s, I prioritize safety, supervision, and consistency so pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
About: Hi, I’m Jovan! Animals have always been a big part of my life — I’ve had dogs for over 14 years and can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and family, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles. Whether furry, scaly, or somewhere in between, I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ve provided pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for a wide variety of pets. From energetic dogs who need long walks to shy cats that need gentle patience, I tailor my care to what each animal needs. I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions for feeding schedules, medications, or special routines — reliability and consistency are always my priority. My background in healthcare and hospitality has made me dependable, observant, and attentive to detail. Those skills carry over to pet care — whether it’s keeping pets safe on walks, ensuring they’re fed on time, or simply giving them love and attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when someone is caring for your pets. With me, you can trust they’ll be in caring, responsible hands. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated with plenty of photos and check-ins so you always feel connected. On weekdays I am available after 430! On weekends I'm available before 5pm! Definitely flexible and willing to work with you as long as we can communicate! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s, safety and trust always come first. I follow each pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules to medications — and keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free. With 14+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and even reptiles, I’m attentive to each animal’s needs, whether that means giving an energetic pet playtime or creating a calm space for a shy cat. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing updates and photos so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are in responsible, loving hands.
About: I love my dogs and I will love yours to!! Your family member will have a great place to stay, and somebody to play with. They will be well taken care of and have everything they will need, food, water, outside, pet scratches, and belly rubs. We will be taking walks in a lovely neighborhood and spend some time at the park. You may not want them to stay to long or they may not want to go home. I look forward to taking in your family members while you are out of town or taking care of business. Either way you can rest easy knowing your beloved animals are here with me and in a safe place, I will be more than happy to do so! Thank you for your time and hope I’m a good match for you and your fur babies. I currently have free time at my home so I would love to spend some time with a friendly pet. I am currently a stay at home mom. I like to give attention when attention is needed to pets. If they want to play I will play with them or if they need to go out to potty, I will take them out. Anything your pet needs I will be there.

“This was my first time using rover and I can say the experience that I got was so good. Breanna did a good job of keeping me posted at all times and sending me pictures of my dog. This really eased my mind and made the time away from my dog easier.”
“Very good experience and will definitely be coming back! My dog absolutely loved staying with her and he usually is really very anxious with others. She was very understanding and patient.”
“Steven and Randi were great with my sweet old lady doggo. She came home happy and calm after hanging out a couple of days at their place with a little doggo friend. I appreciated the pictures and seeing her get a walk in (her favorite part of any day :). I'm relieved to find such good care for She-Ra when I have to travel, and we'll both look forward to her going back for another visit next time.”
“This was my first time having to use a dog sitter and was not disappointed ? Loretta kept me updated with lots of pictures and texts of my old girl. Will definitely book again. :)”
“Process was smooth and the family was very accommodating; they picked Luka up and dropped him back at our house. Seamless. Would def use them again (if they’d be open to hosting our crazy dog again!)”
“My dogs have a dog door and someone home pretty much all the time. They come and go out the door as they please and Cindy was able to provide a similar routine + her dogs = bonus friends! Cindy is a pleasure to work with. She is well equipped for the job and everything went smoothly. I I knew they were in good hands while I was away!”
“Pamela can watch my baby anytime! While I was gone I barely had reception but whenever I got one, there were updates about Chase. Pics and comforting words so that I wouldn't worry too much. Chase came back happy to see us but not disengaged or traumatized. You can see she truly has a love for pets. Whenever I need a sitter, I'm looking for Pamela as my 1st option. Thank you so much for putting my family at ease.”
“Our dog enjoyed her visit (dog-cation) with Megan while she was safe, included, and cared for. Megan's home and family were very inviting, dog friendly, and consciousness. We will call on her services again if we are in the area, and we highly recommend Megan for everyone's next Rover experience.”
“Micheal and Alice were amazing! They took such great care of our pup. They went above and beyond to communicate, learn our dog’s behaviors, and were so loving to him! Connor got along so well with their dogs. They spent lots of time playing and cuddling. I HIGHLY recommend Michael and Alice and will continue to trust them with Connor!”
“I would definitely be rebooking my dogs with Rachel again. She kept me updated on my babies and the return in good health 😃😃 Thank you so much for watching my babies.”
“Josh was an excellent choice for our Rexxx! He is very consistent with communication and always sends photos of our baby. We will definitely rebook with Josh for any future trips.”
“I didn’t have to worry about my dog at all when I left him for over a week! Emmarose took great care of my scaredy cat dog, and kept me updated every day. She gave him space at the beginning to let him get adjusted and soon enough he was following her around everywhere. Will definitely leave him with her again!”
“Angela and Samuel were wonderful with our labradoodle! They took care of her as if she was their own, they kept us updated on her which made us feel great! Thank you guys for being so good to Gracie!”
“Absolute Best Rover experience. Cassie and her family were a perfect fit for our baby mini golden doodle and 11 yr old pitbull! Looking forward to many more sleepovers. 🙏🏽🙂”
