“Amazing care for our beloved pug, Betty! This was our first time leaving her and Olivia was amazing with daily updates and it is clear she had a great time and was loved. Will definitely use them again!”
“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.”
“Anthony was by at the best choice we could have made for our dogs. Anthony has an understanding and love of dogs that made the feel comfortable with him from the moment we dropped them off. I will definitely be booking with Anthony again.”
“Stephanie was an absolutely AMAZING sitter! My pup is fear-reactive and this was my first time leaving her with a Rover sitter so I was a bit nervous, but Stephanie took such good care of her and made sure I had plenty of picture and video updates. :) I’m looking forward to booking with her again!!”
“We left our dog Stanley with Edwin and his wonderful family for a 9-day stay, and they did a fantastic job! Edwin kept us updated with photos and messages, showing Stanley eating, getting brushed, going on walks, and settling in. Anytime I checked in, Edwin was quick to respond and always communicative. We had a great feeling about the stay after a meet-and-greet with Edwin and his family a week before our trip. From the moment we arrived, Edwin took the leash and was confidently in control of Stanley. We’ve done meet-and-greets before where the sitter gives your dog a few pats and focuses more on chatting with you. This was more like a test drive, where Edwin paid close attention to how Stanley handled the new environment. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they took the responsibility seriously and that Stanley would be well cared for while we were away. Stanley is pretty easy going... until it thunders. Then he becomes very anxious. Unfortunately, there were a few storms while we were away. We left medication to help, but it takes awhile to kick in and it sometimes only takes the edge off. If you have a dog like this, you feel pretty helpless during these storms. There is no magic fix. You make them as comfortable as possible, but the only way "out" is getting through the storm. Edwin was proactive with the medication, and along with his family, helped Stanley ride out those storms as well as we could have ourselves. We’re grateful to Edwin and his family for taking such great care of Stanley and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Gina is great! She took care of my two girls while I was away for several days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was professional and friendly, and kept me updated with photos of the girls throughout. I highly recommend Gina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Morgan and her family were amazing! She was very communicative and took a great care of my dog while I was out of town. On our meet and greet, my dog was reactive and took for a while to warm up but she was very patient and understanding. I recommend her to everyone!”
“Took amazing care of our boy, sent regular picture and message updates of walks / chill time etc and obviously treated him like a member of the family. He’s home and happy and I know he’d be supper comfortable there again.”
“Happy to find new, local matters for our kids. Tiffany was easy to work and communicate with during their stay. Got daily pics and updates during our trip. Will definitely be using them on future trips.”
“Savannah and Gabriel have been fantastic caregivers for Gus! Their communication is quick and consistent, and the photos they send each day show what a great job they're doing at keeping the pups in their care very happy. I'm grateful for the peace of mind I had while traveling, since I knew my dog was in such fantastic hands.”
About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was young. In high school I moved to a ranch and helped raise animals from horses to peacocks. Most recently, I have experience in healthcare and am comfortable with administering medications to your furry family members. My family moved to San Marcos and ready to open our home to your family. We do have a one year old girl and a baby on the way. So I ask to use your best judgement if your pet will be a good fit with us. My schedule is wide open at the moment, but can change quickly with a little one at home. I will be communicative of when I am not available and work to accommodate everyone. Our home has a good sized fenced yard. We also love to go on walks. If your pet has any favorite toys I would be happy to play until their heart is content.
“Mercedes was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures! She took very well care of my Jackson and we were happy to have booked her! Will definitely be booking her again!!”
“My dog had the best weekend with Nathan! He is truly a dog lover! My dog had much higher expectations of me when she returned home 😂. Nathan is attentive, caring and his home is very welcoming for his guests. We would rebook with him without question!”

“Lindsey took such amazing care of our kitty! She spent the time to get to know him at his pace, something a lot of sitters don't do. Her daily feedback and photos give you comfort while you are separated. If you are a cat person and need a new sitter I strongly recommend contacting Lindsey. You will not be sorry.”
“Stephanie is great with our two cats. We always trust her to look after them when we leave town. She is reliable and communicative. She always makes sure to be extra sweet to our babies so they won’t miss us as much.”
“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!”
“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: I have over two years of experience working as a kennel technician at a cat/dog boarding facility. I’m able to care for pets of all ages with all different kinds of health issues, including administering shots and medications. Talk to me about any questions or concerns you might have, and we can figure it out from there. Pet care is my priority right now, so I will have plenty of time to care for your loving fur baby. This includes play time! Allowing pets to stay in their own environment while owners are away is an excellent way to reduce your pet’s overall stress. I’m able to check in on your pet as many times as needed during your time away. Making sure your pet is happy and comfortable is my number one goal!
“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.”
“Had a family emergency and had make a quick trip and was so glad Taylor had the availability to come with a less than 24 hr notice. They did everything I asked for and more like water my plants and cleaned any messes Asher made.”
About: Hi! I’m Kayla, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Growing up, I had a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix (Chiweenie) and cats, and I now have a Mini Australian Shepherd who I’ve trained to do basic tricks and enjoy taking on daily walks, playing fetch, and keeping active. I also regularly pet sit my friend’s Goldendoodle, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind. Schedule: I’m available Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I’m happy to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits. If you need care outside those days, feel free to reach out—I may still be able to help depending on my schedule. I understand that pets are happiest in the comfort of their own home and routine. I’ll provide loving, reliable care with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return.
“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!”
“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.”
About: I have a senior cat who is 15 years old who my fiancee and I have had for several years, and my fiancees family has had since she was a year old! I have been around young cats as well, growing up with several cats since I was very little!
About: Hi! I’m Mirella, a Texas State University student and lifelong animal lover. I’ve cared for cats for over 6 years and have owned my own cat for the past 3 years, so I understand how important it is to keep cats comfortable by respecting their routines, personalities, and boundaries. I also have two family cats in my hometown that I’ve helped care for over the years. I’ve looked after friends’ cats and kittens while they were away and have experience caring for cats with all kinds of personalities—from shy, independent cats who prefer their space to social, playful cats who love attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following your cat’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I know every cat is different, so I’ll take the time to earn their trust, respect their boundaries, and provide the care they’re used to. Whether your cat wants to play, cuddle, or simply have a quiet companion, I’ll make sure they feel cared for while you’re away.
“I would highly recommend Brooke! We found her sort of last minute after our original pet sitter fell through. She sent us a daily picture of our kitties and kept great communication the entire week we were gone. I would definitely consider her again in the future!”

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.

About: Throughout high school, I would take care of my neighbors dogs, my brothers family dogs, and many dogs owned by friends of the family. This would include walks, feeding, baths if needed, etc. I now have my own 6 month old puppy and a 15 year old senior cat who I have been working with! It fits into my pet care routine because I have had my own pets throughout the last few years. So, I have been able to start figuring out a routine both daily and weekly I always walk them daily, make sure they are well fed, and always give them lots of love and attention throughout the day when I see them.

About: Growing up, I often took care of my grandmother’s six dogs, including one of my own. I also helped my aunt raise two puppies she rescued from the side of the road. I became skilled at making sure they were well-fed, clean, and properly cared for. I am a student-athlete so I am busy most of the time during the week at 5am-6:30pm, but I'm available all day during the weekends. When I take care of pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine to help the pets feel safe and happy. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, and have time to play. I also keep the area clean and follow any special instructions, like giving medicine. I like to send updates and photos so the owner knows their pet is doing well.

“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.”
“Anthony was by at the best choice we could have made for our dogs. Anthony has an understanding and love of dogs that made the feel comfortable with him from the moment we dropped them off. I will definitely be booking with Anthony again.”
“Stephanie was an absolutely AMAZING sitter! My pup is fear-reactive and this was my first time leaving her with a Rover sitter so I was a bit nervous, but Stephanie took such good care of her and made sure I had plenty of picture and video updates. :) I’m looking forward to booking with her again!!”
“We left our dog Stanley with Edwin and his wonderful family for a 9-day stay, and they did a fantastic job! Edwin kept us updated with photos and messages, showing Stanley eating, getting brushed, going on walks, and settling in. Anytime I checked in, Edwin was quick to respond and always communicative. We had a great feeling about the stay after a meet-and-greet with Edwin and his family a week before our trip. From the moment we arrived, Edwin took the leash and was confidently in control of Stanley. We’ve done meet-and-greets before where the sitter gives your dog a few pats and focuses more on chatting with you. This was more like a test drive, where Edwin paid close attention to how Stanley handled the new environment. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they took the responsibility seriously and that Stanley would be well cared for while we were away. Stanley is pretty easy going... until it thunders. Then he becomes very anxious. Unfortunately, there were a few storms while we were away. We left medication to help, but it takes awhile to kick in and it sometimes only takes the edge off. If you have a dog like this, you feel pretty helpless during these storms. There is no magic fix. You make them as comfortable as possible, but the only way "out" is getting through the storm. Edwin was proactive with the medication, and along with his family, helped Stanley ride out those storms as well as we could have ourselves. We’re grateful to Edwin and his family for taking such great care of Stanley and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Morgan and her family were amazing! She was very communicative and took a great care of my dog while I was out of town. On our meet and greet, my dog was reactive and took for a while to warm up but she was very patient and understanding. I recommend her to everyone!”
“Took amazing care of our boy, sent regular picture and message updates of walks / chill time etc and obviously treated him like a member of the family. He’s home and happy and I know he’d be supper comfortable there again.”
“Happy to find new, local matters for our kids. Tiffany was easy to work and communicate with during their stay. Got daily pics and updates during our trip. Will definitely be using them on future trips.”
About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was young. In high school I moved to a ranch and helped raise animals from horses to peacocks. Most recently, I have experience in healthcare and am comfortable with administering medications to your furry family members. My family moved to San Marcos and ready to open our home to your family. We do have a one year old girl and a baby on the way. So I ask to use your best judgement if your pet will be a good fit with us. My schedule is wide open at the moment, but can change quickly with a little one at home. I will be communicative of when I am not available and work to accommodate everyone. Our home has a good sized fenced yard. We also love to go on walks. If your pet has any favorite toys I would be happy to play until their heart is content.
“My dog had the best weekend with Nathan! He is truly a dog lover! My dog had much higher expectations of me when she returned home 😂. Nathan is attentive, caring and his home is very welcoming for his guests. We would rebook with him without question!”
“The backyard gave Tucker lots of high quality play time and Desmond & Robyn were fantastic at sending me pictures of Tucker intermittently throughout the day. Next time I am in need of a sitter, Desmond & Robyn will definitely be my first choice. Highly recommend!”
“Where to begin? Youna and Nick were fabulous hosts for our kitty! They followed my kitty’s routine to a tee and sent excellent updates with the most beautiful pictures of our baby. I HIGHLY recommend these two and will definitely be booking again with them in the future 😊”
“Grace and Alan were beyond phenomenal!! I was updated with pictures everyday, and never had to worry about how he was doing. 10/10 recommend and definitely going back! My doggie had such a blast!”
“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!”
