“I had a major plane delay and Olivia was able to help take care of Betty for another night which helped with my stress of getting back later. We love how much she cares for Betty!”

“Paco was very well taken care of, I got updates on his status while on vacation. They responded with no problems, the backyard was beautifully fenced with plenty of room to play and run and a safe place for Paco to be while outside. Definitely would use this service again and would recommend them 100% Ray Kyle, Tx”

“Patches is by far the best dog-sitter we’ve ever had. She obviously loves animals but she also took the time to reassure us by sending updates and pictures without us even asking. Drop-off and pick-up was a breeze. But, best of all, we could tell our pup was really happy, which made it so much easier to have to be away from him. Thank you, Patches! We’ll be using you again!”

“So grateful to have found Gabriel and Savannah! So communicative and lots of updates and photos during Charlie’s stay. This was my second time booking with them and when we arrived at their home and Charlie saw Gabriel he started crying with excitement and couldn’t wait to jump out of the car to see him! He definitely enjoys his time with them and their pup! Thank you both so much.”

“If I could give 10 out of 5 stars I would! Definitely going to have my pup stay here again, when I go away. Kyle is so caring with the doggies, has an acre for them to run non-stop all day, sent me several pictures each day and was superbly communicative. I know my pup had a doggo-vacation for sure. Highly Recommend!”

“Yan and her husband were ABSOLUTELY amazing with our 2 pups. They sent us tons of photos and videos during the day so we could see how much they were enjoying their time. We will definitely be boarding with them again.”

“Irina was so great with my dog! She provided many updates and photos of how she was doing and kept me in the loop! My sweet girl seemed to have a great stay with Irina and her pup!”

“Kelly was absolutely fantastic watching our little 2-year old chiweenie for 6 days. She and her husband were very attentive and thoughtful with our dog’s needs and quirks. They made sure to play his favorite games to get all his energy out and sent daily updates (complete with pictures!). He had a big smile on his face. She will be our go-to sitter for future stays! 🐶👍”

“Anthony is a great caregiver to my “humans only” homebody lab mix. After bad experiences with kennels, we usually opt for in home care and decided to try something new. Anthony responded quickly and was able to accommodate Cherry’s needs with no issue and the meal instructions were successfully followed. Cherry was returned to us happy, and healthy. It was evident that they had a blast in the backyard, because she mlemed and slept peacefully the rest of the night. We look forward to rebooking.”

“Gail took such great care of my dog Charlie while I was away! I loved getting all the updates and photos, it made me feel so relaxed knowing he was happy and well cared for. And her backyard is a total dog paradise, he was living his best life! Would 100% book with her again.”

“I couldn't be more happy with Mariana and Donovan's stay in her home. Mariana is lovely and Donovan who is 16+ yrs came home looking better than when we dropped him off! She even made a Christmas magnet with him. Highly recommend & will ask her again. Thank you so much 😊”

“Elizabeth was amazing with my doggies! Super communicative, flexible, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. I felt totally at ease knowing my pups were in great hands. I also appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay!!”

“Lexi really enjoyed being there and I have nothing but good things to say about these two. I appreciate them coming through for me and keeping lexi happy in my absence!”

“We love-love-love working with Robyn and Desmond for boarding our Zadie. They are so easy to work with, clearly love the dogs in their care, and send updates that show how much fun Zadie is having at their house. Highly recommend!”

“I am so grateful for Morgan! She took great care of my dachshund for an entire week! She asked me how often I wanted to be updated and she continuously updated me to my request. My dog was on medication while she watched him and she would always update me with the time he took his medication (which I didn’t ask her to do) but it gave me peace of mind knowing he never missed a medication! She’s is a beautiful soul and your dog will be lucky to be loved by her while you’re away! ?”

“Sarah is awesome! I contacted her when our normal sitter canceled just before we were about to drop our dog off and we were in a panic to find a sitter for the weekend, as we were on our way out of town. Sarah responded immediately and was so helpful in coordinating the drop off to make it as easy as possible. She is so sweet and our dog, Charlie, seemed to do very well with her. Thank you, Sarah, for stepping in a saving the day! We will definitely be using Sarah again!!!”

“Amber was a great sitter for our fur baby Mona. Great communication and Amber sent lots of pictures where Mona was just having the time of her life. Mona was well taken care of and gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be booking with Amber again for future sitter needs.”


“Our first time using rover and we were so satisfied! Amanda and Thad sent us updates and pictures everyday! We are definitely going to use them again. Literally no complaints ❤️5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Aine and Jared (and Fionn their lovely pup) were just wonderful with Nala! They were super flexible with pickup and drop off and very responsive throughout the entire stay! They sent us photos and videos and ongoing updates and we received a happy dog that loved her stay there! Thank you guys again and I’m sure we’ll be back for our next getaway!”

“Absolutely amazing. I had so much peace of mind thanks to Sydney, and my cats seemed quite happy with her too! Plenty of pat pats given, playing some, and clean food/water/box. Will definitely be contacting her again for future pet sitting.”


“If you are searching for someone to look after your fur babies book Norman! We had a family emergency that required short notice travel that coincided with Thanksgiving week, and we are brand new to Austin. Enter Norman. We picked him because he has been verified and had good reviews. He was very responsive, available for our pets on very short notice, answered all my questions and scheduled a phone call with us to go over pet specifics. Norman is very professional. He checked in every day, sent pictures of the cats, and followed all the instructions perfectly. We highly recommend him and will book him next time we are out of town.”

About: Hello! Welcome to my profile! :) My name is Yari, me and my husband are both Army veterans who just moved to Lockhart in 2024. We are so happy to be here. I’ve taken care of puppies to elderly dogs like (Nacho the pug) for all of his life (all of 16 years) and my Luna for 13 years. I have over 15 years of dog sit/ in-home check-in experience for multiple families. I am kind, gentle and patient with every animal I care for. I work from home, so I will definitely have a lot of time for your furbabies! I am available for house sitting/ doggy day care/walks mostly anytime of any day. I am mostly free to do check ins for your pups in-home depending on what and when you’d prefer. I have a BIG fenced yard with 2 friendly furbabies (Luna the yorkie and Fang the Bluey) to keep your pups company. I can crate your pup or they can stretch their legs throughout the house and yard.

“I cannot recommend Katy enough! She went above and beyond while caring for my cat, Frida, who is still adjusting after our recent move. Contractors showed up unexpectedly during the week, and she thoughtfully asked if they’d be back so she could plan her visits around them; just to help minimize stress for Frida. That level of care and consideration meant so much. Her visit reports were incredibly thorough. She detailed every litter box scoop (including type), and when Frida got into human food in the pantry, she not only took photos but also made sure the food was secured so it wouldn’t happen again. At one point we thought our auto feeder had failed, and she troubleshot it until she confirmed it was working properly. Frida, who is usually shy, warmed up to her instantly and showered her with affection at every visit. It was clear she has a natural gift with cats; she truly is the cat lady of Lockhart. I’d be thrilled to book her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. If you want someone who treats your pet like their own and gives you total peace of mind, she’s the one!”


About: I am a self-described cat lady - I absolutely love cats! I’ve had cats ever since I can remember, with experience and a soft spot for caring for senior cats. I’ve also cared for a pregnant cat and then helped raise a litter of kittens! Additionally, I have experience in administering medication to kitties. I have a few cats of my owns, so it may be better for me to care for your kitty in their own environment. However, my cats are used to other pets in the home, so your kitty is more than welcome at my home. I offer complimentary meet and greets to see if it’s a good fit.
About: I have taken care of other pets since elementary school. Neighbors and friends, even farm animals like sheep and goats. I can take care of it all! I currently work part time and I’m just looking to make some more money over the summer. I have some extra free time while I’m on break form school so why not make some extra cash to save. I currently live in an apartment but there are multiple dog parks close by and plenty of space for nice long walks. It’s only me and my dog I’m my apartment right now but she is very well mannered and mellow.
About: I am a cat owner and dog owner. I help take of my friends dogs when they are away. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I'm currently working from home and need to get out and stretch my legs! I am currently available anyday of the week from 7am to 6pm. I am not currently taking pets in my home since our senior dog doesnt get along with some dogs. I'm sorry for that. Maybe in the near future.
“Michelle was lovely! Looked after our sweet cat while we were gone for the holiday. We came back and Juni was happy and fed which is all I care about! She also left the house super clean and locked up when she left. Definitely will be rebooking!”

“Kaleigh was absolutely amazing taking care of my cat Gossamer while I was out of town! She took thorough photos and left a detailed report card every day. She also brought in a package for me and kept me posted about any questions she had. She’s also super responsive! I’ll absolutely book her again — it’s so awesome and comforting to find a Rover like her :)”

“Thanks Team Tamara for going above and beyond in filling the birdbaths and tending to the community cat dish outside, even bringing in our garbage bin! Much appreciated! I did the max tip!”
“Melinda did a fantastic job for taking care of my sick fur puppy. I felt comfortable and at ease with Melinda looking after Coco and she kept me updated with photos every visit. Would happily have her look after CoCo again. I would highly recommend Melinda.”


“Stacey was excellent in every aspect during her drop in visits with our three dogs and cats. She kept a very close eye on a skin irritation that had developed on one our dogs and she updated us with pics daily. She was truly concerned with the health of our pets. We could not recommend her more. She is fantastic.”


About: I have several years of experience cat-sitting for friends and am comfortable with a range of personalities. I’m patient, respectful of boundaries, and good at building trust with cats while keeping routines consistent.

“Nichole was awesome. She is very informative and sends lots of photos. I know my old man bulldog was spoiled with her stopping by. I was worried that he was disappointed with seeing his family walk in the door instead of Nichole.”

Your dog will have a very comfortable place to stay!
“Grateful for Cathy for being so flexible and helping to take care of my crazy Ranger! She is very sweet, showed concern, and I appreciate the insights and observations she made throughout his stay.”


About: I have a Boston Terrier. She loves to play and meet new friends. We're always ready to welcome new four legged play date(s) in our home. 😊 🐕 I work from home so your pup will get plenty of attention, along with plenty of play time in our yard as well as some neighborhood walks. I have a fenced in yard with one other dog that is very friendly and loves to welcome new friends so no need to worry.
“Mariana was great , she did everything I asked and replied to my messages in a timely manner. My Chuey came back worn out from playing with his new friends. Definitely recommend !”

About: *10 minutes from Austin Bergstrom Airport* Hi there! I’m Stevie, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My partner Brandon and I make a great team and we love opening our home to pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. Your pup will stay in a clean, cozy environment where routines are followed, needs are met, and cuddles are always available. We treat every dog like our own (which means spoiled in the best way). You’ll receive regular photo/video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. Whether your pet needs special accommodations, extra attention, or just a comfortable place to nap, we’re here to make sure their stay is pleasant. When your dog stays with us, they become part of our little family. Thank you for taking the time to read our profile and we’d love to meet your fur baby soon! Brandon and I both work from home, so your pup will always have someone around for company, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love. We already have two dogs of our own, so caring for additional pups fits naturally into our daily routine. Our clean home and fully fenced backyard make it easy to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In our home, Brandon and I maintain a clean, supervised, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can relax and feel secure. We follow your care instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special needs are always taken seriously. Unlike a noisy boarding facility, your dog will enjoy a calm home setting with regular potty breaks, personalized attention, and a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. We treat every dog like part of our family and make sure they always feel seen, valued, and cared for. Please feel free to schedule a meet and greet!
About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.

If pet needs to be crated I can provide that as well. Neighborhood is very dog friendly and I am able to walk to a nearby park with leashed dog.

I have two dogs at home to keep your furry companion occupied. We have a big fenced in yard for the dogs to go play. Fresh water and healthy treats are given often.

“Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!”

About: Hi, my name is Kalena. I've been providing dedicated and loving pet care for the past ten years. Animals have always held a special place in my heart—they’re truly the best part of my life. A few years ago, I lost my soul dog, Luck, to cancer, and more recently, my 1-year-old cat, Mio, to heart failure. These losses deepened my passion and commitment to being a voice and source of comfort for animals in need. I'm currently pursuing my master’s degree at Texas State University and looking for a side job to help support my education. You can find me on Rover, where I proudly hold a 5.0 rating for my compassionate and reliable pet care services. I've worked with a range of young puppies and kittens to older dogs and cats. I've volunteered at a dog rescue center (Four Legged Ranch) multiple times. I've also worked with a breeder and I've helped clean the crates, pick up poop, feed them and more. My clients and their pet are my number one priority and I can only hope they are satisfied with my service. My goal of my service is to always treat your pets like they are my own and make sure they go back to you happy and healthy. Trust and communication are also the key to my service, so I will provide you with a thorough details and pictures/videos. I am currently pursuing masters at Texas State University, so my schedule is flexible, except Mondays and Wednesdays. I have classes from 11am-2:20pm. I also have internship for 4 hours from Monday through Thursday from 3:30pm-7:30pm. On Mondays & Wednesdays, I will stop by my home in between my class and internship to let the dogs out and give them attention before leaving. Other than that, I am home full time. I will care for your furbaby as if they are mine. They will get undivided attention and love. I will always make sure your furbaby goes back to you happy and healthy.

“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”

“I am writing this after the first week of daycare for my young lab and could not be more pleased with the care and attention she is receiving. Lola has “endless energy” and came home exhausted every day! Ashley has provided great communication throughout and I would recommend highly.”

About: I live in Easton Park and have a sweet 3 year old flat coat retriever at home named Snax. He is VERY dog friendly and neutered. I’ve never known him to have an issue with any animals. I am just looking to help out others in the neighborhood since my boyfriend and I work from home. Happy to walk your furry friend or take care of them while you’re away. I’ve been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with two corgis and have personally raised a Labrador retriever and my flat coat retriever. Otherwise I have always been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family while they are away. My day revolves around animals ❤️ We both work from home and have a dog so I am constantly going on walks with him or running around with him in our fenced in backyard. We have a 4 bedroom home and a big backyard with plenty of space for the dogs to roam. As a lifelong dog owner and animal lover, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust in every pet I care for—whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet's needs, routines, and personalities so I can create a calm, familiar environment for them. In my home, I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed, secure, and free from hazards. I maintain a clean, cozy space with plenty of supervised outdoor time, mental stimulation, and affection. If I’m in a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow their instructions closely. I double-check things like leash fit, food portions, and any special needs, and I provide regular updates with photos so they feel reassured. Whether walking, boarding, or drop-in visits, I approach each pet with patience, love, and the same level of care I give my own dog
“Cannot say how much we appreciate Iuliia and her care of our boy. She saved us in a last minute situation with our very anxious dog, and was amazing with him. Best rover we could have asked for.”

“Kristina was great. She accepted my request with only three days advanced notice. When she came to meet my dogs they loved her and in talking to each other we found that we live a few blocks from each other and we have common interests. I received pictures and could see the the path that the walks were taken on. Couldn't be more pleased. Will definitely remember her for future bookings.”

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

I have a fenced yard and a safe, pet friendly home where dogs can play and relax comfortably. I prioritize safety and will follow your dog's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks and any special care they may need. If you prefer your dog is crated for them to feel safe and secure, you will have to provide a crate but I can absolutely accommodate to that.
About: I have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.

About: I have operated a professional pet care business in the Austin area since 2014. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, sugar gliders, rats, mice, birds, chickens, and sheep. I am Pet First Aid & CPR trained, have experience giving both oral and injectable medications, and am passionate about all things animal. Providing quality pet care is my full-time job, and I love what I do! I don’t travel much/ever since I prefer to stay home with my own beloved pets, which means I’m rarely unavailable to take care of your pets too. I have a fenced yard, 5 dogs, 2 cats, and I share a fence with a small flock of sheep. There’s never a dull moment here on our little farm, and your pet’s safety and well-being is always of utmost importance to me.

About: Hi, I’m Nyeira! As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and currently have three dogs of my own. Two were adopted from shelters, and one was a stray I rescued while in college. Caring for pets from different backgrounds has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable in new situations. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs and cats because they know I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I will make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, although I generally prefer working with dogs under 80 pounds. Communication is extremely important to me. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have open availability and ask that bookings or cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am able to provide care in the form of house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on what works best for you and your pet. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I am fully committed to caring for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I am adaptable with timing and happy to follow your preferred schedule and routine to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it, with clear communication and dependable availability. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every pet care situation. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I provide care in the client’s home through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any specific behavioral or comfort preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and am comfortable administering medications when needed. I also provide consistent updates, including messages and photos, so pet parents can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy presence for pets—minimizing stress by maintaining their normal routine and treating their space and care instructions with respect and attentiveness.

About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dog, Rosemary, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, many nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee. I have taken care of my own animals my entire life. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. Many of my pets have required medicine in their old age, so I am very comfortable administering medicine to an animal. I have dog-sat as well as house-sat on multiple occasions. One thing unique to me is my want for the animals to have as much freedom as possible. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh! Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent.
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a real dog owner first. I understand dogs because I live with them every day—not just during appointments. I’m patient, observant, and I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior dogs who need a slower pace, extra care, and patience. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for. I do work overnight at Tesla however during the days I can walk (dogs) or sit (cats/dogs) from noon to 5pm. On the weekends I can board animals overnight. I have a fully fenced yard, plus two dogs and a cat who are all very pet-friendly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to be extra respectful of both your pet and your space.

“Paco was very well taken care of, I got updates on his status while on vacation. They responded with no problems, the backyard was beautifully fenced with plenty of room to play and run and a safe place for Paco to be while outside. Definitely would use this service again and would recommend them 100% Ray Kyle, Tx”

“If I could give 10 out of 5 stars I would! Definitely going to have my pup stay here again, when I go away. Kyle is so caring with the doggies, has an acre for them to run non-stop all day, sent me several pictures each day and was superbly communicative. I know my pup had a doggo-vacation for sure. Highly Recommend!”

“Yan and her husband were ABSOLUTELY amazing with our 2 pups. They sent us tons of photos and videos during the day so we could see how much they were enjoying their time. We will definitely be boarding with them again.”

“Anthony is a great caregiver to my “humans only” homebody lab mix. After bad experiences with kennels, we usually opt for in home care and decided to try something new. Anthony responded quickly and was able to accommodate Cherry’s needs with no issue and the meal instructions were successfully followed. Cherry was returned to us happy, and healthy. It was evident that they had a blast in the backyard, because she mlemed and slept peacefully the rest of the night. We look forward to rebooking.”

“Gail took such great care of my dog Charlie while I was away! I loved getting all the updates and photos, it made me feel so relaxed knowing he was happy and well cared for. And her backyard is a total dog paradise, he was living his best life! Would 100% book with her again.”

“I couldn't be more happy with Mariana and Donovan's stay in her home. Mariana is lovely and Donovan who is 16+ yrs came home looking better than when we dropped him off! She even made a Christmas magnet with him. Highly recommend & will ask her again. Thank you so much 😊”

“Elizabeth was amazing with my doggies! Super communicative, flexible, and always quick to respond to any questions I had. I felt totally at ease knowing my pups were in great hands. I also appreciated the photo updates throughout the stay!!”

“Lexi really enjoyed being there and I have nothing but good things to say about these two. I appreciate them coming through for me and keeping lexi happy in my absence!”

“We love-love-love working with Robyn and Desmond for boarding our Zadie. They are so easy to work with, clearly love the dogs in their care, and send updates that show how much fun Zadie is having at their house. Highly recommend!”

“I am so grateful for Morgan! She took great care of my dachshund for an entire week! She asked me how often I wanted to be updated and she continuously updated me to my request. My dog was on medication while she watched him and she would always update me with the time he took his medication (which I didn’t ask her to do) but it gave me peace of mind knowing he never missed a medication! She’s is a beautiful soul and your dog will be lucky to be loved by her while you’re away! ?”


“Our first time using rover and we were so satisfied! Amanda and Thad sent us updates and pictures everyday! We are definitely going to use them again. Literally no complaints ❤️5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Aine and Jared (and Fionn their lovely pup) were just wonderful with Nala! They were super flexible with pickup and drop off and very responsive throughout the entire stay! They sent us photos and videos and ongoing updates and we received a happy dog that loved her stay there! Thank you guys again and I’m sure we’ll be back for our next getaway!”

“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.”

“Marcel was great! He was very accommodating, flexible, and had great communication. I received several great pictures and knew she was in great hands. He also has a great backyard and neighborhood parks for your dog! 10/10 would recommend!”

“My fiancé and I had to leave for a few days to Houston for her niece’s baptism. Lisa watched our dog, Scout, for us and she did an amazing job. Her dog and Scout got along very well. She has a nice/big backyard that he was able to play in! She made sure to send us updates/photos everyday while we were away, which was so thoughtful and made us feel good knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely be calling Lisa again for sitting!”

“Cassandra & Jason were great sitters for my dog, Luna. They were extremely communicative, quick to respond, and provided many updates throughout the weekend. When I picked up Luna, I could tell she would love to stay there again!”


“This was our first time leaving our dogs with a rover sitter, and we are super glad we went with Justin! He did a great job making our fur babies comfortable while we were away, we will definitely be using him again for our future sitting needs!”

“Bassam, John & Adam took such great care of our pups! They sent picture updates throughout our trip which made it easier to relax knowing they were in good hands. We came home to two very happy, very tired dogs, which is always the best sign!! Thank you”

“Marc was great! We met at a dog park before the booking to see how my two dogs got along with sweet Floof. You can tell Marc really loves dogs. He sent lots of photos each day I was gone and it was clear my two pups had a great time! Thanks Marc! Will book again!”
