“We were so thankful to have found Tabitha. It was so nice to receive her pictures, and we felt secure in knowing that our Baby was with a family that was playing with her and holding her while we were gone.”
“Olivia did a fantastic job with our pugs. I am an anxious person and was feeling nervous about leaving my pugs for 10 days while out of the country. Olivia sent me multiple pictures and updates every day, morning and night. This helped me feel so secure in our choice of pet care. It seemed like our pugs truly had a great time and had lots of play and cuddle time. They also loved her puggies, Tuna and Oskar. When we dropped Tito off, his nose was looking dry and I asked Olivia if she could butter it while we were away. When we picked them up, Tito’s nose looked brand new! I would rebook Olivia for our next trip in a heartbeat! Thank you so much!”
“Luliia was amazing with my toy poodle! She is my world so I made sure to look at reviews very carefully and she did not disappoint!! She sent me pics and videos of my baby everyday and Eevee looked like she had a blast and made new friends. I will definitely be booking with Luliia again. So happy we found someone who we could trust with our tiny 5 pound treasure.”
“This was our first time booking with rover and we were for sure nervous - but Edwin was FANTASTIC! I’m such a nervous dog mom and our pup, Cigar, got a little sick just before we left town. So we were extra worried we wouldn’t be able to find a place for her to stay for 10 days on such short notice. But after leaving Cig with Edwin and receiving updates about her settling in right away, we instantly felt like she was in good hands. He was thorough with her meds, asked questions when needed, and sent the perfect amount of updates. We know Cigar was being well loved and soaking up the attention and yard space! We were even a bit worried she would like his home more and not want to come back with us after her stay lol! Absolutely will be keeping Edwin in mind for our next trip.”
“Jan is an exceptional dog sitter! Her welcoming home offers an ideal environment for dogs to socialize, with ample space for exploration and a lovely backyard perfect for play and relaxation. Jan has thoughtfully dedicated several rooms in her house just for dogs to rest and explore, ensuring their comfort and enjoyment during their stay. She showed incredible kindness towards our dog, Peluche, keeping us updated with numerous videos and photos of our dog every few hours during our time away. We felt like we were right there with them the whole trip. Impressively, Jan even taught our usually energetic dog how to sit calmly for treats and food, demonstrating her remarkable ability to soothe and engage him. Her positive energy and genuine affection for all animals absolutely shines through in her care. It's clear that Jan is extremely passionate about her work, treating every dog as if it were her own child. We are beyond grateful for her dedication and plan to entrust her with all our future dog sitting needs. For anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caretaker for their pet over an extended period, we wholeheartedly recommend Jan. Your furry friend will be in the very best of hands!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She asked great questions about Ocho’s temperament, worked with me on logistics, and kept me updated throughout his stay. I would highly recommended Stephanie!!!”
“Grace and her husband John are absolute gems! I was so happy I left my baby boy Archer with them because I felt safe and confident that he was in good hands. They sent lots of pictures of Archer having a good time while we were away in the UK for 19 days and made sure he was well taken care of! Will def have them sit for Archer in the future. Extended family! ❤️”
“Thank you, Robyn & Desmond, for taking great care of our pups. We never worry about them while we have to be away. We appreciate you guys being a second home for them.”
“Allina was wonderful with our senior dog while we were away for the weekend! She sent great pictures and was always prompt with communication, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We really appreciated her care and attentiveness and would happily recommend her to others. 🐾❤️”
“Kyrischa was absolutely amazing with our dog! We really felt like she took him in and loved our pup like he was her own! We especially loved the updates and pictures throughout his stay where he was smiling ear to ear in every picture! Seeing how happy and comfortable he looked gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was like he was on a vacation of his own with her! We felt completely at ease leaving him in her care, and we will definitely be trusting her with our pup the next time we’re out of town. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Highly recommend!!!”
“Jade is so sweet! She had our 4 month old puppy for 4 nights and was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. My dog loved playing with her dog Hiccup and they did lots of fun activities together. Will be booking again!”
“We absolutely loved having Morgan and her sweet family watch Jack. We knew that he was in the best hands. Jack was cared for and had so many fun experiences going on walks, going to the dog park, playing in the yard, playing with Morgan and her family, and just being so well cared for around the clock. Morgan sent pictures, videos, and updates. She was always so encouraging, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals and excels at caring for them. She entertained and played with our pup throughout the day, and she always treated him like part of her family. We are so blessed by her care! Especially since we inquired about same day care with only a few hours notice to be gone for ten days. She was gracious and worked around our last minute time frame. We had confidence that our dog was well loved and cared for the entire time we were away. I would absolutely recommend her and will seek her out immediately whenever our dog needs care. You will be grateful for Morgan’s constant care and kindness!”
“Mirella was great! She took care of my old man and bathed him so he was not longer a crusty white dog. You can tell she really loves animals and is very patient with them. I got so many updates that put me at ease. He definitely enjoyed his stay and I will be rebooking again.”
“Savannah and Gabriel were wonderful! They provided me with photo updates throughout Junie’s stay with them which was so, so nice and reassuring! I would trust them to care for any pet! Thank you so much, Savannah and Gabriel!!”

“Jordan was absolutely amazing! This was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous at first, but Jordan went out of her way to make us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She offered to meet our dogs before we left, which really helped make us feel better and was so attentive and reliable throughout the entire stay. She was also super patient with our very energetic Labrador- she worked super well with her! She kept us updated with messages and lots of photos, which we really appreciated. She even offered to walk our dogs and check in on them extra when she didn’t have to. We will absolutely be reaching out to her for any future pet-sitting needs and absolutely recommend her to anyone! Thank you Jordan!”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs, volunteered weekly at the shelter in my hometown, and currently own a dog. I have experience with large and x-large dogs and am familiar with care practices for cats and dogs. I’m a full time student at TXST and have plenty of free time before and after classes. I live permanently in San Marcos and usually am available any time outside of my classes. I am very comfortable walking dogs on leash (even those who need some help). I use positive reinforcement when needed and take safety very seriously. I will keep all bowls and pet items clean so there is no build up or risk of bacteria. To earn a pets trust I try to follow their lead on energy and interaction so they are comfortable.
“Victoria was outstanding! She arrived early and I could immediately tell she was experienced with taking care of animals. She did an excellent job and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future”
“So glad Allina was available to take care of my fur babes for 2 weeks while I was away on work travel! She was quick to respond & made sure they were well cared for.”
“Madelyn was super helpful and responsive! She truly knows what she’s doing and tries to do best for the pup. She worked through some scheduling issues perfectly, would definitely recommend!”
“Angelica did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats when I was away from 5 days! She spent time hanging out with my kitties and took lots of great pictures. My cats are so comfortable with her on day 1. They became great friends on day 3 already. Angelica is also always very responsive to my messages. Definitely recommend her to take care of your pets, especially cats!”
About: I take the time to understand their unique personalities, routines, and any specific needs they may have. Additionally, my commitment to communication (and picture-taking skills!) ensures that pet owners receive regular updates and peace of mind while they’re away. I work remotely, so I am able to prioritize flexible hours to accommodate pet needs, ensuring I can provide consistent care and attention. Each day includes time for walks, play, and feeding, while also allowing for regular updates to pet owners. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment tailored to the pet's needs, with designated areas for sleeping, eating, and play. For clients' homes, I maintain their routines, following specific feeding and exercise schedules while ensuring the space is clean and secure. I prioritize regular check-ins, exercise, and plenty of affection to keep pets happy and engaged.
“Lindsey went above and beyond to make sure my 2 cats were comfortable and taken care of. She entertained them, made sure my cat was taking his medication, and provided photos and detailed updates while I was out of town. It felt great to know they were in such good hands. Would absolutely book her again!”
“We are very, very pleased and satisfied with the love and care that Stephanie displayed in taking care of our kitties over the Thanksgiving holiday week. We cannot recommend her enough.”
“Joesiiah was an incredibly kind and wonderful pet sitter for our cats, including my old man senior cat. He was incredibly patient with their needs, and took great care of them. I loved getting the daily photos and check-ins. We came home to happy cats and a clean litter box. Would highly recommend!”
“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 reached out to Katie very last minute (on my way to the hospital) for services and she was amazing!!! All four of my cats loved her, even the skittish one, which speaks to the kind soul I'm sure she is. I will be rebooking with her in the future. Thank you Katie!!”
“Elizabeth was great as always! We had a last second trip come up over a holiday weekend, super thankful she was available in such short notice. Will definitely book her again!”
“Reagan was very friendly, professional, and accommodating. Her visits were timely and reliable, and my cat warmed up to her right away. When I needed to make some last minute changes, Reagan was very helpful. I was very pleased with the experience and will be booking with her again.”
“Krystal was a fantastic pet-sitter for our two cats over the Thanksgiving holiday. She sent lots of pictures each visit and gave them lots of attention and play-time. One of our cats has medical needs, including an oral medication and twice-daily injection. I worry about him sometimes when I am not able to take care of him myself, but Krystal made me feel at ease: her experience as a vet tech means she is already very familiar with how to administer medications, so I was able to feel confident that she had it handled! Krystal was flexible, super fast to respond to messages, and always put the priority on keeping the cats as happy and healthy as possible. Moving forward, we will be booking Krystal to care for our cats whenever we are out of town.”

“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: Hi! I’m Mirella, a Texas State University student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve owned and cared for pets for over 8 years and have experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m currently the proud owner of a cat. I’ve pet-sat for friends with dogs of all sizes and personalities—from Anatolian Shepherds and Pit Bull mixes to Dachshunds and Maltese—and have experience caring for puppies through senior dogs. I’m also comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Years of caring for animals have taught me patience, responsibility, and confidence working with pets of all temperaments. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing personalized care that keeps them happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. In my free time, you’ll usually find me running, hiking, or spending the day at the river, so I’m always excited to get outside with energetic pups. Whether your pet enjoys long walks and adventures or prefers relaxing at home, I’m happy to match their pace. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet parent’s needs. I keep my Rover calendar up to date and am happy to work with you to schedule walks and drop-in visits that fit your pet’s routine.

You can expect regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“I feel so comfortable leaving my baby! I know he is in good hands and I don't even have to worry if my baby is safe and being loved on. The fact that Weasley's tail becomes a super fast helicopter blade when he gets to the sitter tells me everything!”
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.

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!”
“Amelia was an amazing sitter for my Kevin. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day. She was also flexible with my schedule and great about communication. I will definitely be using Amelia in the future!!”

About: Other than growing up with my own dogs at home, I’ve volunteered and worked at animal shelters as a kennel technician- I have a lot of patience for dogs of all types and temperaments. My childhood dog was very timid, so I’m extra sympathetic to dogs who need a bit more personal space. I’m a college student doing a lot of online classes. The only times I’m needed on campus are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 am-12:30 pm, so my spare time can be happily dedicated to your dog. I will act in close accordance with any specific instructions given. If your dog is shy, I will respect their space- if they are high-energy, I am very capable of matching that too! I also have no qualms for cleaning up messes. Any concerns will be communicated asap.
About: I have had two dogs throughout my entire life. One of them is a younger German Shepherd, and the other one was a 15 year old Shi Tzu. I am able to walk dogs for as long as needed. I can play with and take care of dogs that have a lot of energy. I also can care for dogs who are sick and need to take medication, for I had to do this with my Shi Tzu for about a year before he passed. Although I have not yet pet-sitted professionally, I am very knowledgeable when it comes to caring for and loving all different types of animals, especially dogs! I am currently on summer break, so I am looking for some extra income before I start my next semester. That is to say, my schedule is extremely flexible! I can come in during early mornings, late nights, in the middle of the day, etc. I would prefer to go to the client’s home if the dog is a bit smaller. I have a large and friendly german shepherd who has loads of energy. I understand that this can sometimes overwhelm certain pets with certain personalities.
“Lindsey was great with Lili, very communicative, prompt, reliable and knowledgeable of the breed (French Bulldog). Will definitely be using her again in the future! :)”
“Her services were amazing and caring. Kept us communicated timely. We would love to use her service in the future and highly recommend as well. My dog, Yaga, loves Victoria!”

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 can provide dependable care, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention.

About: I've been taking care of different animals since I was a kid. From farm livestock to exotic animals with more specific needs, I'm confident I can keep your pet very happy and comfortable. I'm currently a college student full time, however I have many large gaps in my schedule. I'm fully free on weekends and just ask for my specific free times during the week, as they can vary. I'm a on campus living student so I can't have any pets over, but I'm available to do pet walks, quick visits, and overnight watches.
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with small dogs, and over the years I've lived with and cared for cats and medium to large dogs owned by family, roommates, and neighbors. Today I own two cats and regularly watch friends' pets when they travel. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes and I treat every pet in my care the way I'd want mine treated. I currently work from home, which means pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a commute. I'm able to visit at consistent times for feedings, walks, and playtime, and I'm flexible enough to adjust visit times if a pet needs extra attention or a different routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines and rules as closely as possible so the pet's environment stays familiar and low-stress. I always confirm entry/exit procedures, secure doors and gates behind me, and check that food, water, and litter are addressed on schedule. I treat each home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, and I stay attentive to a pet's body language and comfort level throughout each visit, always reaching out to the owner if anything seems off.
About: Boarding: Hello! My dog, Norman, and I would love to have your beloved fur baby stay with us. I have a large, fenced-in yard with lots of room for playing and running around. I have over 10 years of experience caretaking for pets, and animals are an important part of my life. At this time, I'm only accepting one dog at a time so that I can ensure your pup gets the most care and attention. ***Your dog MUST be on flea meds. I will not take any dog that has fleas. Thanks for understanding.*** We look forward to meeting you! Walking and Drop-ins: I'm attentive & caring, and your dog's safety is my priority. I'll take good care of your pets while you're at work! I'm good at reading and respecting the dog's energy. I know that it can take time to gain a dog's trust, especially as a new person. We can take things slowly if necessary. I work from home, so I'm available the majority of the day. If I leave, it's usually only to run a quick errand. During summer, we would not be outside too long unless you request a river play date. For dog sitting: I have a large, wooden-fenced yard and one small, male neutered dog. He is very friendly + energetic and loves playing with other dogs. Water is always available and plenty of space for relaxing. For walking and drop-ins: Safety is number one priority. Always leashed up and scanning for potential distractions.
“Krystal did a great job! My dog is timid around strangers and Krystal totally won her over. She did a great job of managing my dogs with a big age gap and stayed to play with the younger one when the older one got tired.”

“Luliia was amazing with my toy poodle! She is my world so I made sure to look at reviews very carefully and she did not disappoint!! She sent me pics and videos of my baby everyday and Eevee looked like she had a blast and made new friends. I will definitely be booking with Luliia again. So happy we found someone who we could trust with our tiny 5 pound treasure.”
“This was our first time booking with rover and we were for sure nervous - but Edwin was FANTASTIC! I’m such a nervous dog mom and our pup, Cigar, got a little sick just before we left town. So we were extra worried we wouldn’t be able to find a place for her to stay for 10 days on such short notice. But after leaving Cig with Edwin and receiving updates about her settling in right away, we instantly felt like she was in good hands. He was thorough with her meds, asked questions when needed, and sent the perfect amount of updates. We know Cigar was being well loved and soaking up the attention and yard space! We were even a bit worried she would like his home more and not want to come back with us after her stay lol! Absolutely will be keeping Edwin in mind for our next trip.”
“Jan is an exceptional dog sitter! Her welcoming home offers an ideal environment for dogs to socialize, with ample space for exploration and a lovely backyard perfect for play and relaxation. Jan has thoughtfully dedicated several rooms in her house just for dogs to rest and explore, ensuring their comfort and enjoyment during their stay. She showed incredible kindness towards our dog, Peluche, keeping us updated with numerous videos and photos of our dog every few hours during our time away. We felt like we were right there with them the whole trip. Impressively, Jan even taught our usually energetic dog how to sit calmly for treats and food, demonstrating her remarkable ability to soothe and engage him. Her positive energy and genuine affection for all animals absolutely shines through in her care. It's clear that Jan is extremely passionate about her work, treating every dog as if it were her own child. We are beyond grateful for her dedication and plan to entrust her with all our future dog sitting needs. For anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caretaker for their pet over an extended period, we wholeheartedly recommend Jan. Your furry friend will be in the very best of hands!”
“Stephanie was fantastic! She asked great questions about Ocho’s temperament, worked with me on logistics, and kept me updated throughout his stay. I would highly recommended Stephanie!!!”
“Thank you, Robyn & Desmond, for taking great care of our pups. We never worry about them while we have to be away. We appreciate you guys being a second home for them.”
“Allina was wonderful with our senior dog while we were away for the weekend! She sent great pictures and was always prompt with communication, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands. We really appreciated her care and attentiveness and would happily recommend her to others. 🐾❤️”
“Kyrischa was absolutely amazing with our dog! We really felt like she took him in and loved our pup like he was her own! We especially loved the updates and pictures throughout his stay where he was smiling ear to ear in every picture! Seeing how happy and comfortable he looked gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was like he was on a vacation of his own with her! We felt completely at ease leaving him in her care, and we will definitely be trusting her with our pup the next time we’re out of town. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Highly recommend!!!”
“Jade is so sweet! She had our 4 month old puppy for 4 nights and was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. My dog loved playing with her dog Hiccup and they did lots of fun activities together. Will be booking again!”
“We absolutely loved having Morgan and her sweet family watch Jack. We knew that he was in the best hands. Jack was cared for and had so many fun experiences going on walks, going to the dog park, playing in the yard, playing with Morgan and her family, and just being so well cared for around the clock. Morgan sent pictures, videos, and updates. She was always so encouraging, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals and excels at caring for them. She entertained and played with our pup throughout the day, and she always treated him like part of her family. We are so blessed by her care! Especially since we inquired about same day care with only a few hours notice to be gone for ten days. She was gracious and worked around our last minute time frame. We had confidence that our dog was well loved and cared for the entire time we were away. I would absolutely recommend her and will seek her out immediately whenever our dog needs care. You will be grateful for Morgan’s constant care and kindness!”
“Michelle was the absolute sweetest to my dog. Her and her family made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with them and truly showed her love. She kept me updated everyday and sent pictures and videos. Thank you Michelle!”
“Ashley did a great job! We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with her. We met previous to the stay and she was very professional. She kept us updated with photos, a video, and comments about how our dog was settling in. Great experience and we absolutely recommend her!!”
“Marie was an outstanding sitter! Her excellent communication and regular updates including pictures were so appreciated. My dog requires medication with each meal and she ensured this was taken care of, and gave Lenny plenty of exercise between walks and lots of outdoor time while the weather was nice. I highly recommend Marie for anyone looking to have their fur baby cared for!”
“Fern had a wonderful time playing with your dogs. She will definitely stay again in future. She got lots of snuggles and I received updates with photos during her stay.”

“Alice was incredible from start to finish!! Extremely communicative & responsive, and it was so evident that she and her family love hosting dogs at their place 🥹. I felt confident that Chai would do well there and get so much love during her stay. Loved all the updates and photos! Would definitely book with Alice again & highly recommend her to others.”
