“Pennie and Selene felt right at home thanks to Jennifer and her family taking such good care of them. She kept me updated throughout the whole four days with pictures. There’s nothing that compares to that sense of comfort knowing your fur babies are taken care of like family. Jennifer and her family gave us that sense of comfort. I highly recommend them!”
“Daniela is such a greater person with dogs! she took care of my Mia for a week after getting spayed. Even though Mia is not trained, Daniela had the patience and the ability to take care of her. She was there for Mia 24/7 since she needed extra care. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I love animals. I’m patient and will listen to your pets needs I will take care of them as if they were my own<3. I will also love any advice or feedback the owner has to provide.

I know what pets need and the signs they give you when they need to go outside, are hungry, or bored. I will take care of them by listening to there needs and getting to know the owner and what they let me know.
“Cathrin was awesome. I could tell she took great care of our dog Marley. She sent me lots of pictures and videos of her living her best life. It was so wonderful that I could truly rest easy on our vacation knowing that our little girl was being so well cared for. Marley played to her hearts content- she came home and slept for hours 😆🩷 we will definitely be bringing her back to Cathrin.”
“Estefania took wonderful care of our two pups, Dulce and Millie, while we were away for several days. She was fantastic with communication and sent us photos and updates throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Dulce and Millie enjoyed their own little vacation! Estefania clearly loves animals, and it showed in the care and attention she gave them. She was also incredibly easy to work with, and her convenient location made drop-off and pick-up a breeze. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely trust her with our babies again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been pet sitting for 15 years and I have been a veterinary technician for 10 years. My family and I love dogs and cats with a passion! I am aware what to look out for trouble wise and will keep you informed I work full time as a veterinary technician however my schedule is repetitive so I can offer the same consistent care as I give to my own pets. I have a completely fenced yard and I do not leave any pets outside unsupervised at any time. I do not restrict pets from being on the furniture unless otherwise instructed and I will care for your pets just as I do my own.
“Amanda and her husband loved my boy Elvis as if he was their own and he had a wonderful time playing with their dog for the weekend while I was away. I always hate leaving my pets when I travel but knowing he was in such a loving environment took away so much worry. I’ll definitely be having them watch Elvis again. Highly recommend!”
“Went for a little away time with my lady and Brianna came thru on like 2 hours of notice within blinking an eye. We dropped Pazzo off and after meeting her i was a lot more at ease in knowing that my dog would be in safe hands. Then she send a couple of photos on day 2 and informed me that Topaz was doing fantastic. We returned the following day and i saw that she wanted to confirm the drop off time because she had an errand to run in the late afternoon.. very punctual, affordable and accommodating and if we find ourselves in a similar situation going forward, we will be barking up Brianna tree. Lame pun intended!!! Thanks again”

“Lindsey was terrific! She gave frequent updates with pictures. She also has a corgi named Zoe that is extremely cute! We are glad Biscuit has a corgi friend now. Lindsey is also very thoughtful and fed Biscuit throughout his stay, also letting him use Zoe’s crate. I would definitely book again and recommend Lindsey to anyone else looking for boarding services!”
“Our pup loved Tina! She was so accommodative and was always available to communicate with. She sent us loads of updates and we could tell our puppy was having a wonderful time with her and her sweet dog. If your in the austin area I would highly suggest Tina as your pet’s home away from home! Thank you so much, will be booking again!”
“Kayla is AMAZING! Can’t recommend her enough. She was hugely helpful to us over thanksgiving for a last minute booking and was so good to our chocolate lab Sully. He had the best time and can’t wait to go back. So happy we found her!”

“Having Marsha care for our pets has been a god send. She is attentive, reliable, and patient. It was a great peace of mind knowing our babies were in good hands while we were away. Will definitely be contacting again the next time we are away.”
“Layla and Gracie provided a drop-in for my 3 pups. They were very prompt, loving, and provided some great pics. I’m looking forward to their overnight stay here soon, knowing my dogs are in great hands.”
“Kyle was amazing! He provided drop ins for my 3 dogs while I was out of town with only a few days notice. He was willing to stop by for a meet and greet a few days before I left so I was able to walk through their routine with him. He also sent several pictures of my dogs during his check ins. Honestly, some of the best pictures I have of them and they always looked so happy in each of them. Will definitely be booking again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was extremely thoughtful, caring, and helpful, and she took all of our instructions seriously. Most importantly, she somehow won over our very difficult and anxious cat, Gigi, which is no small feat! When a shelf unexpectedly broke while we were away, she handled everything very calmly and responsibly. Cannot be more thankful. We absolutely recommend her and would love to have her sit for our cats again! ❤️”
“Kylee did a great job caring for Meeko & Winston. She had good attention to detail, especially with their routine along with Meeko’s medications. Thorough & useful notes on the daily card.”

I’m wanting to start a career in animal rehabilitation so I love taking care of new animals! I go to school though out the week, but my mom works from home so she plays with them during the day! If I go to your house I can go up to three times a day in between school and sports. We live on a farm, we have four friendly dogs for playmates. We take the dogs on walks on the back roads, lots of playtime, and snuggles at night.

“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 :)”
“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: I absolutely love cats! My partner and I recently took in a pregnant mama and fostered her three kittens which gave me so much hands on experience I never expected. It’s been such a rewarding experience getting to watch them grow, flourish, and become healthy, social little fur balls🐱

“Hope provides A+++ service, care and compassion for my big guy Ghost a 115lb 2.5 year-old German Shepard/Husky mix. As my regularly scheduled doggy daycare sitter, I would describe Hope as incredibly caring, attentive, responsive, and fair. She makes me as a dog owner as well as my dog Ghost incredibly comfortable. Since attending regularly scheduled doggy daycare with her on the days I work my shifts (I’m nurse, RN), Ghost’s overall state of mind and resulting behavior has dramatically improved overall. When he comes home after his stay with Hope, he is dramatically more calm, content and relaxed. Improvements in behavior, mood, and overall well-being which I attribute to the care Hope provides for my dog. All in all, I can’t be more thankful to have found Hope to take care of my dog and best friend.”
“Kyle was very friendly and professional when I dropped my dog off to him, he was flexible with my work schedule. I highly recommend him. I could tell that my dog had a good time when I picked him up. I for sure will use him in the future. Thank you Kyle!”
“We had the BEST experience with Daniela and her family! 🥰 She sent us plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We really appreciated the friendly vibes, great communication, and most of all, how loved and well cared for our baby was. ❤️ Definitely the best experience we’ve had on Rover! We would absolutely book with Daniela again! 🐾✨”
“Brittan was an amazing dog sitter and took very good care of our dog. She was kind and friendly and seemed to enjoy her job. She did well giving a recap of their day. I would definitely use her again if we are in the area.”
About: Hi there! I’m a Minnesota born, Bastrop-based dog lover and I’m glad you’ve found my profile. I've been around dogs my entire life and believe a dog makes a house a home. My own fur baby, Milou, is a 5 year old lab mix who loves other dogs and people. He will gladly accept a pal to join us on walks, or chase around the backyard. I have 5+ years experience volunteering with various animal shelters and a plethora of nights & weekends spent house/dog sitting for friends and family. I love to explore new trails, parks, & hikes so your pup's stay will be an active one! I am also a runner and will gladly take your dog along to burn off some extra energy. I took a couple years off from Rover as my family relocated several times. Now that we are settled in the Austin area, I am ready to get back to dog sitting/walking/boarding, and hope to meet you soon! I work from home so I am around to provide company, potty breaks, and perhaps even a lunchtime trip to the dog park! Canine coworkers are my favorite. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to roam safely. My dog loves hanging out back there and would enjoy a teammate to help him put the neighborhood squirrels in their place ;)

In the evenings I can walk your dog, go to your home to check up on your dog, and over the weekends I can dig sit for you if it's needed.

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 have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!
About: Raised with dogs and cats, I bring my lifelong love for animals into my work as a nanny. I also provide trusted pet care for my employers and their neighbors, ensuring every pet feels right at home. I work as a nanny 35 hours a week! I have weekends off! Mon-Fri (9am to 4pm) after those hours I can dedicate all my time to your dog. 🐾 I stayed at my clients home or I take the pets to my house as well! Either way, is that not matter to me 🐾
About: I’ve been the go-to family/friend pet sitter my entire life, so I am constantly around animals and committing to taking care of them. I also worked at a pet store, where I learned a lot about pet care, food and products. I’m pretty comfortable around all dogs & cats and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to their individual personalities. When you trust me to play, walk, or take care of your dog, I want you to know that they will receive the dedication and love that my own fur balls get (lots of it!). My partner and I have 2 dogs and 3 cats that I love dearly. My boy dog has some neurological issues which makes his care a bit more complicated but it has given me experience for dogs with additional needs! My availability is currently wide open so I am available for drop ins, dog walking, or house sittings whenever needed! I’m also incredibly flexible and can accept last minute bookings as long as I am given some travel time! When in your home, I would love to take your babies for walks or field trips to the dog park, anything you would already do with them to make them comfortable. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and stay comfortable in their routine. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in their behavior or needs in order to let their owner know along with following their owners given directions.

“Went for a little away time with my lady and Brianna came thru on like 2 hours of notice within blinking an eye. We dropped Pazzo off and after meeting her i was a lot more at ease in knowing that my dog would be in safe hands. Then she send a couple of photos on day 2 and informed me that Topaz was doing fantastic. We returned the following day and i saw that she wanted to confirm the drop off time because she had an errand to run in the late afternoon.. very punctual, affordable and accommodating and if we find ourselves in a similar situation going forward, we will be barking up Brianna tree. Lame pun intended!!! Thanks again”
