“I think this was Abby's 5th time with Savannah and Gabriel. They are great with her. Abby is a handful as she is only 8 months old and still doing typical puppy things. I like that S and G meet me outside their apt building, so I just hand Abby over to them. They take up her bag of food and toys, and her crate and framed puppy pad, so I can be on my way. Same when I come to pick Abby up. They have one dog, also a shih tzu. I like that they do have a playmate for Abby and also that they just have one dog and she's a small one like Abby. As I've said before, their apartment is immaculate and very nice and so is their dog. So I know that Abby won't be finding stuff on their floor to chew up and swallow. (She's still in that phase.) They also have pee pads, a playpen, nice beds, etc. S and G always keep me informed with photos while I'm away. I'm so glad I found them.”
“Desmond and Robyn were great with our Luna! They sent pics/videos daily. This was our first time using the Rover app. We were pleased with the service we received. We will definitely schedule with Desmond and Robyn again if we need to.”
“Gail was excellent with our dog. She sent us a daily update with pictures. She has a big fenced backyard for the dogs to run and play in. Our dog was very content there! I would definitely recommend her!”
“Tiffany and Rob took great care of our two dogs, as always! We have loved having them as consistent sitters to watch them for long periods of time. Our dogs are always very excited to see them and are treated like family when they’re there. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Maura and Shawn are very sweet. My pup had very nice time with them. Also there was a another dog Max ... both dogs played well. Milo was very happy and he was super tired and slept for hours .”
“Lisa and RJ took great care of Sunny while we traveled over the holidays. They followed all of our directions and kept us updated via daily texts and photos, which we enjoyed and appreciated! I’m so happy to have found them and will definitely leave Sunny in their care again during futures trips.”
“Angie was amazing to our boy Finn. They really loved him while we were on an extended trip. Angie was great at sending pictures of Finn and he really settled in with their family. We would definitely stay with Angie and her family again, and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Alyssa was amazing taking care of my dog. she showered her cleaned her bowls and updated me every chance she got. 100% recommend! she was very understanding when i picked up my dog a little late”
“She was amazing with my fur babies! Definitely felt like I was dropping them off at my family’s home! She was amazing I felt comfortable in knowing my babies were being well cared for. 100 stars all the way !”
“Aine was amazing with Bono. Bono developed a severe allergy to something during his stay and Aine took Bono to our vet and even bathed him in the medication shampoo so he would feel much better. Though we were out of town, we felt comforted that Bono was in such good care. Thank you so much!”
“Rachel was so comfortable and nurturing with my pup. She knows a lot about dogs and knew what to do with my little guy. He was well cared for there and got lots of snuggles. I felt comfortable leaving him there in her hands. She was great to work with.”
“Bridget, who is normally very nervous with new people /places warmed up allison and her kiddos very quickly. Consistent communication with me and Bridget came home a very happy pupper.”
“Honestly spectacular! This was my first time ever using River and Gil made the process super comfortable for me. Two weeks prior, I was able to go for a free meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted and she was lovely. Then during my return trip, my flight got delayed by over 7 hours and I had to pick up my dog the next day. She was super super understanding and responsive. She was accommodating to the new situation. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better first experience with someone on this app.”
“Amber was the best dog sitter we have had to date! She took such great care of our high energy dog and was so flexible with our changing travel plans. She will be my go -to dog sitter from now on.”
“We had our corgi Ben stay with Emma for a long weekend, and he came home happy and tired after a few days of fun and running around. This was our first time having Ben stay with Emma, and she was so communicative and shared tons of fun updates on all the activities of the weekend. We absolutely will be bringing Ben back whenever the need for a sitter arises!”

“I had quite a bit of anxiety when trying to find a pet-sitter to watch my cats for a week as I’ve never used this app before. But I’m so glad I was able to find Abigail! She provided photos of each cat and gave notes every day so I felt assured they were being well taken care of. We even had an unexpected package at our front door while we were out of town and Abigail brought it inside. Will definitely be booking Abigail again in the future!”
“Judge was so happy to see Ashlea every day. We had great confidence that our furry family member was being cared for while we were away. We recommend Ashlea for those needing a reliable check-in while you're away.”
“Jean is great! She took good care of my two cats and went above and beyond addressing a natural gas leak going on when I had left my burner turned on! She really helped me out!”
“Samantha was great! After each visit, she left a list of items completed which was very helpful in confirming that my cat was taken care of properly. She also took plenty of pics of her, which was much appreciated!”
“Rachel was so thoughtful and patient with our foster cat Jessie, who can be a bit shy with new people. Rachel kept us updated with her progress. Jessie felt comfortable with Rachel towards the end to ask for pets and eat and take treats around her. Hopefully Jessie will be adopted soon but I’m sure she would love to have Rachel’s company again!”
“Doray did a fantastic job caring for our cats and rats while we were out of town for three weeks. She was incredibly responsible and communicative, always providing thoughtful updates and plenty of feedback, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond by taking care of extra tasks like bringing in packages and taking out the trash. Our rats especially loved the extra attention she gave them, and she even refreshed their bedding multiple times. It was clear that she treated our pets with the same love and care we give them ourselves. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Paige took great care of my cat while we were out of town. She made little trails for him with his treats (so sweet!) and gave him lots of love and attention. She was friendly, kind, fun, and easy to communicate. Definitely recommend!”
“Page has been such a huge godsend! My mom is in hospice care so I am having to go out of town often and it makes me feel so secure knowing that Page is here with the animals when I can not be.”
About: I am very patient and understanding with dogs and cats and always have a soft spot for animals. I have experience working with older dogs and medication they might need. I am working around a few different aspects such as college schooling, some social gatherings with friends, and overall business. Many weekends I am free and some weekdays I am also free. I do not own any pets but I did watch my friend’s family dogs for many years. I have had a dog and a cat in the past.
“Although my cat was shy, Kaitlyn always sent pictures of him and encouraged him to be brushed. Her regular and useful communications put me at ease while I was a long way from home.”
“I had a bad experience with a different booking on Rover, and Olivia brought my faith back in this process. She was very flexible when I had to change times, extremely punctual with her visits, and the communication was always there. I will be booking her for future travel plans. A+++!”

“What a fabulous first experience with Rover! Couldn’t have asked for better care of our Charlie. Frances was super responsive, available at all times, willing to let us pick him up late, kept in touch, sent lots of photos and even offered to give Charlie a bath when I asked about places to give him a bath. She is the best!”
“Absolutely recommend Daniel, My pet absolutely loves spending time with him and gets so excited every time he sees him. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and care, which gives me total peace of mind whenever I’m away. He is professional and very reliable. He also keeps me posted by sharing photos and videos!”
About: My wife and I have been dog sitting for multiple friends over the years and as Rover sitters since August 2020! We both love meeting new furry friends (and their owners) - we have 2 small dogs of our own. We do prefer to sit dogs with low to medium energy levels (to accommodate our elderly dog) and 2 years or older, but we can definitely make exceptions on age and energy level with a Meet & Greet. I work from home, so I’m readily available to keep your pet companion company while you’re away on vacation, business or if your grumpy mother-in-law who doesn’t like dogs is in town. Our home has a wide open floor plan with plenty of room to accommodate the even rowdy (but well mannered), playful ones, and has a very secure backyard. Happy to take your loved one on walks (except during afternoons in summer), on outings to the park and make any other accommodations to make their stay as comfortable and stress free as possible while they’re separated from their 'hooman'.
“Mike is amazing! He’s great at communication - I get updates all day long on the dogs and he also takes them on a ton of walks during the day. I can tell he really loves the dogs and my dogs run to his house from the car every time we arrive. Mike is also super accommodating to my work schedule and other things going on in my personal life - highly recommend!”
“Emma was the perfect host! My dogs were well taken of through out their visit. Emma was very flexible with the timing and worked to accommodate our needs! My girls loved their walks and everything was first class! Emma is my Austin connection! Thanks, Emma! Lucy Lou and Lilly Bug Love you!💕🐶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Thorough, accommodating and a good instinct for animals, Nanda was great for keeping our two heeler mixes company with her while we worked over three long days. Great with both our puppy and seven-year-old, she's a relief to have as an option to watch the dogs.”
“Heather was an absolute gem with our high-energy golden retriever, Luca! She handled his energy perfectly and kept us in the loop with frequent video updates that showed just how happy and settled he was. We especially appreciated how she accommodated our request to keep him off the furniture. We'd book Heather again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
About: Hello! I am a dog owner and sitter ready to help you care for your family pet. I grew up with golden retrievers and always enjoy spending more time with my four legged friends. I have experience with many dogs, all size, shapes and personalities. I love to walk and hike so your pal will become mine as we get lots of fun exercise when we go on walks. For anyone looking for a day care or boarding, I currently have my best friend Lucky, a 14 year old small dog how enjoys napping, eating treats and going on long strolls. We have a large fully fenced in dog park right out our back door. Chill dogs over 4 years of age are best for in home care to mesh well with my Sr pup. Let me join your team and your dog and I will thank you! Over the the last 10 years I have cared for lots of dogs and a few cats. I am available for walks, drop in play time or boarding. I love to take dogs on long walks, play ball and enjoy quality time playing in the house. My experience includes working with dogs of all sizes from big to small, in all setting including urban apartments and larger homes. I enjoy dogs with all types of personalities, but active dogs and I get along best since I always like to be outside and on the move. Why I love dog sitting I got my first puppy when I was only 8 years old and fell in love at first site. I great up with K.C. my golden retriever and loved every second of it. I have many friends and family with dogs that I love to play with and often sit for. My experience administering medication Yes, I have worked with several dogs that have needed to take medication or follow a special diet so have no problem keeping them healthy. My own dog has had health challenges that require a variety of medications and first aid. I work from home from 11 to 6pm. I am available for walks and drop in visit through out the day around my daily schedule, but mornings and evenings are easiest. I have a large apartment with a dog bed on the balcony and a large dog park that is fully fenced in outside which is great for chasing balls and squirrel watching. I am available for frequent potty breaks and a few short walks during the day as needed.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for pets my entire life & enjoy pet sitting for family and friends. I love to walk & hike & will ensure your dog has plenty of exercise. Also enjoy playing fetch in my fenced in yard or providing attention & company for older pets. I have experience giving medications and providing extra care for senior dogs. I work full time at home Monday - Friday & have flexibility to provide walks & playtime during the day & after work at my house. I am also available for pet sitting cats at your home. I have a fenced yard for your dog to play outside. Your pet can roam freely inside or sleep in a crate based on your preference.
“Rachel and Justin are nothing short of phenomenal! Leaving my puppy Queenie in their care was the best decision I made. They treated her like a member of their own family, going above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well-cared for. Their flexibility and warm welcome immediately eased any nerves I had about leaving her with strangers. Queenie not only loved spending time with them but also adored their fur children and their son. I couldn’t be happier with the love and attention they provided. I’ll definitely be choosing Rachel and Justin again in the future for their exceptional care and genuine love for dogs!”
About: I have cared for dogs all of my life. As a child, we bred Labrador puppies. We were taught to raise them from the beginning with love, care, and discipline. While I've been around dogs and cats all of my life, I also have plenty of experience with other pets like snakes, Guinea pigs, chameleons, pet rats, turtles, lizards, birds and always love meeting a new animal to learn more about their care routine. Boarding/Day Care: We have a highly energetic, one year old puppy. We usually only take males or spayed females as our puppy is not yet neutered. If your dog is easily triggered, it may not be a fit. Yote is friendly, but high energy, so fits well with an energy match. I’m a software engineer, but my schedule is fairly flexible and I work from home. If the request fits into my schedule, I’d love to help care for your pet. I will work with you to make sure that your pet gets plenty of love while you are away, whether it be that you have to work late or are going on vacation.
“Lydia and her dog Jasper are wonderful! I can tell my dog loves her because she leans on her for pets before leaving. My dog comes home popped from playing fetch all day. Overall great experience!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets truly brings me joy. My best buddy is Tugboat, an 8-year-old Australian Shepherd who’s full of love for other dogs (but not so much for cats, unfortunately!). I work from home, which means your pup will get plenty of attention, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime in the yard or relaxing on the couch, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away I work from home and I am only ever gone for a few hours at a time if any. I already walk my dog everyday so your pup would fit right into our routine I have a fenced in backyard and neighborhood trails. I have crates that I would use if I do have to leave the dogs for a short period
About: I have had pets my entire life. I consider pets part of the family. I am comfortable around all cats and dogs! I understand every pet is different, which means I care for every pet how they need to be cared for. I have had experience with senior & special needs dogs and cats! I am comfortable giving pet meds if needed. I am good with pets that have high anxiety. I also have experience with puppies and kittens as well! I work from home 2 days a week so I am able to spend all with your pet while I work. The days I do go in office, it’s only until 230. At my house (or at yours) the animals come first always. Personal plans/obligations will always be kept at a minimum when I am caring for someone’s pet. I am comfortable with pets of all ages, all sizes, all quirks!
About: Although new to official pet sitting, I’ve owned and taken care of dogs most of my adult life. I’m a retired yoga teacher with a very playful 9 month old Frenchton. I have lots of time and patience to take care of your pooch. I’m retired so I control my own schedule. I’m available 2-3 days a week. We are pet parents to a lovable Frenchton pup, so it will be important to communicate to make sure our furries are compatible. I have a large fenced in yard with a dog door and a wide open floor plan for the dogs to play inside. I will only ever take on one pet at a time so the only compatibility issues will revolve around matching up with our goofy 9 month old Frenchton.
“Maria took excellent care of my dogs. Form the pictures and updates she sent, it was clear they were having a great time and getting lots a attention. Maria was very flexible with a couple of schedule changes. Highly recommend her boarding services.”

“Alexandra was amazing! Ellie is a little more difficult with new people and she was super patient with her and got her to go on a walk on the first try! Highly recommend her and will be using her again!”
“Riley is so sweet and attentive to my two pups! My pups get to take long walks around the neighborhood or have special playtime in the yard. One of my pups requires lots of fresh water due to medications she is on, and Riley always makes sure her bowl is filled to the brim and she drinks readily. Highly recommend him!”
About: I give dogs a calm & predictable experience. I adjust to different personalities and energy levels, whether that’s a relaxed senior dog or a more playful, active pup. I can help with walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I’m flexible when my schedule allows (including last-minute requests!). I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep each dog’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable :) **Note: potty-trained is a requirement for care in my home - thanks! My schedule is flexible, so I can help with walks and drop-ins during the week, as well as daycare and boarding. I follow your dog’s routine, whether it’s a quick visit/walk or a longer stay at my house. Aside from the occasional errand or outing, I'm home most of the day (weekdays and weekends) and spend a lot of time with the dogs in my care. My dog, Emory, is very easygoing and gets along well with both calm and playful dogs. Dogs have access to a fenced yard and doggie door, and I'm available to provide potty breaks as often as needed for dogs who can't use it. They're also welcome to get on the furniture! For walks and drop-ins, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I provide regular updates and follow your dog's routine and any specific instructions to help you and your dogs feel comfortable while you're away.
About: I have four dogs at home, a cat, and two tarantulas! Thus, i’ve had plenty of pet care-taking experience since I was a child! I take my dogs on walks, play with them, feed them, and offer cuddle time every day! I also have a cat, which goes the same for her too :) I can also take care of exotic pets, as I do so for my two tarantulas. I’m available to take care of your pets anytime besides Monday nights from 5:30-6:30pm. Otherwise, your convenience is my first priority. I can do overnight and even check on your pets in the early morning. My care is crafted around your time and needs. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in both my home and clients’ homes. I closely follow care instructions, maintain a clean environment, provide regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, and ensure pets feel calm, secure, and well-supervised at all times. I can crate your dog as needed, play with them, let them out, etc.

About: Hello everyone!, my name is Dominique and I have always had a dog in my life. My earliest memories consist of watching and helping my dog give birth and raise 10 puppies when I was 4 years old. Volunteering at the Austin Animal Center as a teenager was a natural step in my love for animals. I walked the small dogs outside for bathroom breaks and playtime while keeping puppies occupied when their crates were getting cleaned. I also walked the large dogs from their suites to the group play area and supervised multiple large dogs’ interactions. My friends have been trusting me to care for their animals and homes for 7 years now, and I have absolutely loved it! My experience ranges from small dogs to big dogs, puppies to seniors, and I have administered oral medication numerous times. The longest I have house sat was a week straight and the most animals I have cared for at a time is 4. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies❤️ I am currently working part time as a babysitter so I have a lot of availability for walks, feeds, hangouts, play, and cuddles! I am available seven days a week for feedings, walks, and daytime care starting at 10:30 am and into the night. For housesitting visits, I can come and stay at your house Friday night, Saturday night, and holidays for overnight care. First of all, I respect, follow, and complete all written or spoken directions on how to care for your pet and take care of your house. A typical sitting appointment for me is being there to provide food/water, frequent bathroom breaks, outside play, inside play (if given permission), a walk around the neighborhood (if requested), and a movie night with unlimited cuddles 🥰. I believe that it’s important to follow your pets’ cues so if they need extra attention, I am there to play or run around and if they need more space/alone time, I give them that time adjust. While we are having nap/down time, I will complete any household task asked of me which can consist of gathering the mail, putting out trash cans, watering the plants, etc. My favorite part of this experience is forming a bond with clients both human and dog so you can feel comfortable leaving your home in a trusted person’s hands!
“Nicholas was amazing with our dogs! They aren’t always the best with new faces, but Nicholas was so calm and loving with them, they warmed up to him right away. I can’t say enough positives - thank you so much for taking such good care of our pups!”
“Puanani was a wonderful caretaker and friend to my furry family! Nice long walks, great details, photos and attention was given to my dog and it made me feel SO much more comfortable being away from home. I will definitely book her services again!”

About: I've always loved animals. From the time I was able to convince my parents to let me get a pet, I've been caring for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, chickens, amphibians, and fish. And because that wasn't enough, I found every opportunity I could to be around more animals, from taking riding lessons to doing 4H to petsitting for friends and family to being an AKC junior handler to volunteering at animal rescues. As I've grown up my love for animals has only grown too! Now, I am a full-time freelancer with plenty of flexibility to come show your pets some of that love. I have experience administering medication and working with animals of all ages and care needs. I am a full-time freelancer so my schedule is very flexible! I have availability in the mornings, evenings, mid-day, on weekdays AND weekends, and even on some holidays. I currently offer services in my clients' homes. In addition to my petsitting experience, I have many years of housesitting experience and will make sure everything is taken care of while you are away!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from 6lb lap dogs to 130lb gentle giants, so I’m completely comfortable with any size or breed. I know that big dogs and small dogs have very different needs, and I adjust my care accordingly. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know their dogs are in good hands. I make sure all fur babies are well-fed, exercised, and genuinely loved while their parents are away. I work a flexible schedule, so pets in my care always have someone around. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Dogs won’t be left alone for long stretches. Walks, playtime, and attention are built into every day! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I keep my space clean, secure, and pet-friendly. I’ll follow your routines, feeding schedules, crate preferences, medications, whatever your dog needs to feel comfortable in my home or yours. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing!
About: I've helped family, friends and neighbors with their pet care needs since my teen years and love connecting with our animal friends! I especially love the old babies that might need a little more attention! I'm self-employed with a very flexible schedule! I spend my weekends at our fenced in family property in San Marcos and can accommodate staycations for your pup with pick ups & drop offs along the I35 corridor from San Marcos to South Austin. I have a fenced in yard for overnights and boarding clients. I'm happy to cater to most in home care requests - just let me know what you need.
About: From a young age, I started pet-sitting for my neighbors, and continue to do so for my friends as I've gotten older. Pets that I've taken care of include dogs, cats, birds, fish, frogs, rabbits, horses, and even a rooster. During the 2023 holiday season, I found myself in a position alone, and needing to provide medical care to my senior-cat learned how to administer daily SQ fluids, medications, as well as prepping food and medications to administer through a feeding tube every 4 hours. I'm a quick learner and always act accordingly to ensure an animal's well-being. On a very sad note, I lost my fur-daughter in the very early morning right after Christmas in 2023, so I'm taking a break from being a pet owner. When you select me, it makes it all the more special to enjoy the time with your pet(s), including co-sleeping! lol I'm currently starting my own consulting practice & stay in more often than not. so for the most part I am flexible as long as I have an Internet connection. For doggies, I do prefer low-energy ones , & preferably that can go up to 8 hours before needing to be let outside in case I have something going on during the day such as an in-person workshop, but I'm happy to have a quick conversation about their schedule and compare it to mine during the time they'll be in my care, since mine varies on a week-to-week basis. I always make sure to check & double check the the locks when I come & go & will text the owner if I observe something out of the ordinary. When it comes to taking care of pets, I ask the owner if they want the pet to be played with or respect the boundary if they say the pet is stressed around strangers, and just focus on their basic needs of food, water, & whatever else to minimize separation anxiety. In terms of trust, I believe it can be easily lost & not always possible to get back, so I make sure to conduct myself in a way that assures all parties, & results in zero horror stories. More on trust, I worked with children starting in 2019 for 11 years consecutively before moving to Austin, and worked two seasonal Federal Government positions since 2020 & 2021.
About: Know what it takes to deal with weiner dogs, chihuahuas, and even senior dogs. I’ve grown up with all of them. I love all of them and know how to make a dog feel comfortable. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to go check on your dog! I know what it feels like to leave your beloved pet at home while you’re at work so I’m happy to step in! I will play with your dog. I will rub your dogs belly. I will feed them and give them water. If they want to run around, I can do that too. I’ll take them potty. Whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it

“Aine was amazing with Bono. Bono developed a severe allergy to something during his stay and Aine took Bono to our vet and even bathed him in the medication shampoo so he would feel much better. Though we were out of town, we felt comforted that Bono was in such good care. Thank you so much!”

We absolutely will be bringing Ben back whenever the need for a sitter arises!”
