“Jordan came through last minute for us and was awesome! She has an awesome house for dogs and it was well worth the drive from Austin to drop my pups off. Provided lots of pictures and updated. Will definitely book again when needed!”
“Gracie is the BEST! My original sitter canceled last minute, and she swooped in within an hour to save the day (and my birthday trip). She sent lots of great pictures, her house was very clean, and she was the perfect mix of professional and friendly. Her husband was just as kind and welcoming. I can’t recommend Gracie enough — if you’re looking for someone to watch your Dog go with her.”
“Radha and Bart were able to accommodate me on short notice due to some plans of mine falling through last minute. As usual they were wonderful with Otto and he fell into a comfortable routine right away!”
“We LOVE Candi! We left our 2 boys with her for 8 days and they were definitely well loved and cared for! We got lots of photos and videos of them and they were clearly having a good time! We will 100% be using Candi again for boarding and daycare in the future! Thanks Candi!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing with Samson while I was out of town! She sent me so many thoughtful updates and pictures, which really gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond, even being flexible with me when my flight was delayed and I had to do a later pickup. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would definitely recommend Amber to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Carmen kept me updated throughout Zoe’s stay. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. My dog seemed happy! I would definitely recommend Carmen and plan to use her in the future.”
“Chad is so kind! My dogs were happy, well cared for, safe at all times. He cuddled them when the storm scared them, gave them lots of attention and time to play. They came home cleaner than I dropped them off. You won’t go wrong trusting him with your pups. He is a true animal lover!”
“Garrison watched my dog for me over the holidays for a week and I highly recommend him as a sitter. He was great with communication from the beginning when I first booked with him and keeping me updated during the stay. Milo was very happy and obviously well cared for while I was gone. Thank you, Garrison!”
“Five stars for Michelle! She took incredible care of Bella while we were away. I loved receiving the daily photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. When we picked Bella up, it was clear she was happy, comfortable, and well adjusted. Michelle is fantastic, and we will definitely rebook with her every chance we get!”
“Our sweet boy would be an anxious mess when I’m away. Thanks to Rodnie and her family, my Jet Pack felt right at home and made friends with the other dogs. Thank you again for giving comfort and love for my pupper, easing what would normally be a stressful time.”
“Andrew is a great sitter! He sends videos and pictures constantly which helped when I was missing my puppies! He followed the instructions I left perfectly, and I will definitely use him again in the future!”
“The family is amazing. Chester was so lucky to have 4 new little friends who really cherish and take good care of him. They offered to take him on extra walks and even washed his bedding. We found a lovely note days after he’s back. It’s really precious to have sitters like Kari’s family.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Jerica. She provided regular updates and pictures of my dog, accommodated a late-night pick-up, and has a big backyard where my dog loved to play. Highly recommended and will book again!”
“Cynthia was very kind with me and my pup. She sent photos and updates which I really appreciated, since it was our 1st time booking. We will definitely be book again my Quincey loves it over there.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jeff and Jirapun taking care of our dog, Miley. They kept us updated throughout her stay with regular messages and plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Miley was well cared for and very comfortable with them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Miley. We truly appreciate your kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely look forward to leaving Miley with you again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time boarding our dogs with Miho, and we are very happy with the great care and frequent updates she provided! We have 2 large dogs that can be a handful, but she handled them very well and made sure they are always safe, fed, and happy. We received many photos and updates throughout their stay, which made us very happy to see how great they were doing and made us feel more at ease while we were out of state. Miho was also super organized and very communicative, we knew exactly what to bring and how to prepare our pups for their stay. She was also very understanding about our flight back getting delayed. Our dogs seemed very happy while there and loved playing with her dog Arden. I would definitely highly recommend Miho for all your boarding needs! :)”
“Mina was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our Teddy! She went above and beyond, constantly sending us pictures and videos, which made us feel connected and reassured the entire time. Thanks to her updates, we never had the chance to miss him too much. Teddy was clearly happy and well-loved in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — highly recommended! We are going back to her again and again ! :)”

“Jordan went above and beyond to make our cats and parrots comfortable. It was such a relief to know someone was looking in on them and giving them some attention while we were gone!”
“A lot of pics with my pups contentedly eating and smiling while being petted. My dogs were happy pups while under Lindsey’s care. I will ask Lindsey to take care of my pups in the future!”
“We had a lovely experience booking Andrea. We got lots of updates, pictures, and videos of our kitties. Andrea was very thoughtful and gave our cat his medicine even when we were about to be home so we had one less thing to do after a hectic day. I would definitely book again if our cats needed watching ☺️”

“Lillian (Ruthie) took great care of our pup. She kept us updated with how our pup was doing and sent lots of pictures. We were really happy with how she took care of our dog and followed our instructions. We will definitely work with her again. Thank you!”
“Kellie was absolutely phenomenal. The moment Kellie came over to meet my pets, a good two weeks before my travel, I knew my fur babies would be in trustworthy, caring and knowledgeable hands. Kellie made sure she understood the needs of both my animals and understood what was needed to make sure they felt safe and loved in my absence. Kelli checked in with me multiples times a day, letting me know what was going on. She also went above and beyond what was required of her, from making sure my garbage cans were on the curb for pick-up day to watering my plants. If you are on the fence with using Rover to care for your pets while you are traveling or at work, I get it. I was too, but rest assured that will Kellie your cherished fur babies are safe and taken care of, and your home is not at risk.”
“I appreciate the help I have received since July 2025 with the drop ins for my fur babies to go potty. With out Tinisha's acceptance I would not have been able to start my new job. Lots of hugs and thank you!”
About: I have enjoyed my life around numerous animals of all backgrounds. Growing up in the north granted me the privilege of owning huskies and training them for years! Stubbornness is no problem with me. I have experience with working through territorial aggression and severe medical needs. I have been through obedience training with all of my dogs. I love being around cats as well and have owned cats my entire life! I am available any day, anytime! No morning is too early for a check in or walk and no night is too late. Your pet’s schedule is my schedule! I respect security and privacy! The care of another persons home is sacred and I would only want someone else respecting my space as well. Let me know if you have any concerns about the environment your pet will be in!
“Amiah was fantastic! She took great care of our cat,which was obvious from our cat’s behavior when we returned. She sent daily pictures and updates, and when we came home, the trash was emptied, the kitchen was clean, and her sheets and towels were in the washing machine. I will definitely hire her again!”
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🐱

“Jax seemed to have had a fun time spending the day with Jordan and her pets. Jordan was great at sending me updates and pictures. Jax will be staying a few days with Jordan in the near future so it was great for them to spend a full day together getting to know each other.”
“I left my Australian Shepard with Isabelle for daycare for two days, as I was dropping him off for the second day he was so excited to see Isabelle which I knew it meant he was in good hands. Isabelle was always responsive and gave me updates while he was with her. She also took him along for their daily walk which I appreciated. Thank you again Isabelle!”
“We took our two boys for a day outing, as we are leaving them with Candi for a week while we are out of town here in a couple weeks and wanted to make sure they were familiar with her and her place before we leave them for that long. They had a blast…I know because they were pooped when they got home! We are looking forward to knowing that they will be loved and well taken care of for our future trip and I know they will be excited to go back! Candi was also VERY responsive to my messages, which I highly appreciate! Definitely the best doggie resort!”
“Brandon watched my 4 month old pup for the day and did a great job. As soon as I dropped her off she was running and playing. Brandon was easy to communicate with and the drop off and pick up was super simple. I’d definitely book Brandon again when I’m looking for someone to watch my husky pup.”
About: Hi, My name is Mia. I have about ten years of experience working with animals from animal shelters to vet clinics. I have experience fostering over fifty pets, including bottle babies and pets with special needs. I currently work as a legal assistant. M-F 10:00-5:00. PLEASE ENSURE YOU BOOK WITH ENOUGH TIME FOR A MEET & GREET TO BE SCHEDULED PRIOR TO MY FIRST VISIT. This is for my safety and the safety of your pets. I am always open to negotiation, but please keep in mind this helps pay my bills. I do have my own dog, but if your dog needs to stay overnight in my home, they will be kept separate. I am very responsible and would love to meet you and your fur babies. If you have any questions, please ask me :) Can’t wait to meet you. I work 10-5, but I work from home. Visits before and after are easy when in Elgin or nearby. If I pet sit at home, I will keep separate from my pet. It depends on what is needed, per the pets needs. I am happy to stop by, clean up, let them out and feed during visits.
“Cheyenne is an excellent caregiver; our pet enjoyed staying with the sitter and socializing and playing with the other pets. Overall, Cheyenne is a competent and dependable caregiver.”
“Amanda was wonderfully welcoming and really made sure my pup was happy and settled in for daycare. I really appreciated her thoughtful approach to introducing the dogs to make sure everyone was set up for success. Thank you!!”
About: I'm an animal lover! I always had animals growing up; having cats & dogs. Also had a guinea pig, a chinchilla, several birds, a turtle, bunnies and bearded dragons. Our furbabies are like our children! I am a professional petsitter, fostering dogs & cats, training them and rescuing animals. Currently, I have 4 cats (mine) & 2 bearded dragons and 1 small dog (mom's). I have experiences with seniors and blind furbabies. I also have experiences dealing with flight risk, severe anxiety pets and oral medication as well as injections. **DROP-IN VISIT** I live in Taylor, I can travel to Hutto, Granger, southeast of GT, East of Round Rock, Thorndale and Coupland. **BOARDING - Requirements: * Non-aggressive/low/medium energy (must be ok with other pets) * 100% house-trained includes trained to not chew on household items * Current on all vaccinations and flea prevention * Male felines must be neutered I ask you to provide food and bedding for your furbabies because every pet is different, has different lifestyles and eating/sleeping habits, toys. I have plenty of bowls and plenty of crates (XS, S, M, L, XL & XXL) including a 3 tier crate (for cats) if needed. My schedule is flexible, I'm almost always home. If weather permits, I enjoy going out for long hikes or going to parks/neighborhood for walks. ** Boarding & Housesitting - I'm available 7 days a week. The potty break/meal schedule is flexible on my end. They can go out often for potty breaks, to explore, fetch, and enjoy the sun as they please. Also, will provide outdoor play with engagement of other pups and can do some training as well. ** Housesitting - I will spend the nights with them. Sometimes I will be away for a few hours unless you instruct me for a specific time, such as how long it is ok to leave your pets alone, I will follow your preference. They are welcome to tag along for the ride if they enjoy car rides. -- During my free time I volunteer as a pet rescue member with Trapping, Rescue and Pet Recovery Service (TRAPRS), a non-profit organization. I have been with TRAPRS since they were founded in 2019. When I'm scheduled to pet sit, I will not be available to do a rescue. Only time I'll be away is if someone is able to secure an animal, Ill be out for a quick scan for microchip or if I'm scheduled to drop-in to visit other clients' homes. (I want to be transparent about what I do). I know it can be stressful leaving your family member with a stranger, but you can be confident that your furbaby/ies will be treated as one of the family; given plenty of love, hugs, belly scratches, treats, play time and walks during their stay. I have a fenced yard for your pup(s) to explore, do their business, enjoy the fresh air & flirt with the sun, and play fetch. I will send photos and videos of your furbaby having a great time! You are welcome to reach out to check on them at any time. They will be in good paws!

“Skia who doesn't like to stay away from us and with other humans and dogs in our absence, loves to hangout with Mark and she is super happy to be with him and his dog (like a second home). Mark takes great care of the dogs and even feeds them when he feels they are hungry without a second thought. Great experience sending our pup to Mark's place !”
“We have a 5 month old Golden Retriever puppy who had never been around other people or dogs thanks to COVID. I had a last minute opportunity to get the vaccine but needed a place for the puppy. Sara was great and open to my unknown schedule since I had no idea how long I’d have to wait. Puppy had a good time. I’d definitely use Sara again.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was child and absolutely love animals. My kids have developed the same passion. We love taking care of animals as a family and have a few rescues of our own. Tito is our chihuahua who loves other small dogs. Our cats, Binx and Lizzie are tolerant of dogs and are use to having them around. I’m a stay at home mom to three kids. Except for the occasional outing or trip to the grocery store, we are just about always home. We have a very large fenced in back yard, so your pup will have plenty of room to play.

(: I follow care instructions completely. I give each animal one on one attention throughout the day. I treat them like they’re one of my kids. My children are very respectful of animals and are never left unsupervised with them.

“We could not ask for a better dog walker! She does such an amazing job caring for Olive. I absolutely love receiving the detailed updates and seeing photos during their time together. She goes above and beyond by taking extra time to play with Olive before putting her back in her kennel, and it’s so sweet that she brings her kids along. Olive loves the extra attention, and it gives us total peace of mind!”

About: I have worked with small dogs and big dogs and nervous dogs- I have owned my own doggo (a shih tzu bichon mix for 10 years) since I rescued her from a poodle shelter. I have worked as an assistant training emotional support animals at a rehabilitation facility (: I would love to hang out with your doggo babies when you need me! I am an early riser and work part-time in pet care. It is my primary job- I have regular clients that are my own aside of rover so my calendar on app may be inaccurate. In the clients home- your pet(s) are my first priority and my second priority is your home. Boarding at my home- your pet is still my first priority! We have 1 budgie, 2 cockatiels, 3 dogs, and 2 kittens!
About: I've had animals since I was a girl and haven't been without a pet since I was 10 years of age. Have had multiple dogs and cats at one time but now down to one 13-yr old male. Will always love and have pets as they are an integral part of my life. I derive much joy from their presence. Daily walks and attention to my own dog and look in on friend's dogs when they're away. My dog has his own bed for daytime but sleeps in my bed at night. I have a good sense about animals and will follow the routine they're used to. I love to connect with any animal if they want it and will give cuddles and rubs for comfort and love ❤️
“Kimmie was amazing from the beginning, easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and helped me out when my usual dog walker was out of town. Will rebook when I need a walker again! Thanks Kimmie!”
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.
“Brooke is amazing! She is so good with my pups. They are young and maybe a little wild, but Brooke is so patient with them. I have absolutely no worries when they are with her. I think they may enjoy walking with her even more than me! :) Brooke has been flexible and is very dependable. So glad we found her!”
About: I have been working with Rover for over 5 years. My 13-year-old lab crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago, so I do not have any pets in my home and we do not take more than one family at a time. Animals are the best part of our world and nothing makes me happier than spending time with dogs and cats. I also volunteer for PALS, a program under Meals on Wheels, that provides food for animals in senior homes. I loved to walk my dog and would be more than happy to provide dog walking services to others on the weekends. I work weekdays, but am available before 8am after 5 pm and can provide services on Saturdays & Sundays. I cannot wait to meet your beloved pet. I currently work weekdays, but can devote time after work and weekends. I can utilize lunch breaks to check on pets and nights and weekends for more one on one time. I own a home with a fenced in yard for my dog. I will do anything and everything to ensure your animal’s safety and happiness.
About: I’m new to the rover app but, I’m not new to taking care of fur babies! While growing up we always had pets. When I left for college I got a puppy because of how much I missed my pups at home. I potty trained him all on my own while also juggling being a student athlete. I want to help out the best I can, so put me to work:) I am a part time hitting coach in the evenings so, I will have plenty of time to help you with your fur babies. I am off every weekend. I can take your pets on walks or play fetch to get them moving. I also can sit and just love on your pups whenever you are at work or away for a bit.
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!
“Amiah came through LAST MINUTE and exceeded all the expectations I had. She took great care of my dog and was extremely easy to get ahold of and has great communication skills. I am grateful we connected and am looking forward to working with her more in the future.”
About: friends and family have trusted me with their pets and i’ve never let them down. i’m very reliable and will love your angels like they’re my own. i currently work full time, but im available any time Tuesdays and Saturdays and can do early mornings to midday Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. i’m a calm, inviting and friendly person who will always have toys and treats with her. i’ll make sure your animals are safe and comfortable in my care
About: I grew up in an animal shelter. Sounds crazy right? Well, it's true. My mom has always worked around animals(and still does) so I was always right by her side. Whether it be at animal shelters, helping with adoptions, walking, feeding, giving medications. Anything to be involved ! Then she became a Veterinarian. So of course, when I got old enough, I worked at her clinic. I've truely worked with animals my whole life and have always had animals of my own. I am currently working as an Animal Rescue Coordinator each day but would love to further my pet care business . My fur babies are my children and I treat them as so. You will always be able to find comfort knowing that I will treat your fur babies with the same love and care as my own! My favorite thing to do is spend time with my 3 dogs. A few things we love doing are going to the dog park, playing fetch, frisbee, going to the lake to swim, agility, hiking, and of course getting frozen yogurt! I would be more than happy to spend time with your pup doing these things. I'm sure they deserve it! I can't wait to spoil your pup and put your mind at ease knowing he/she is loved, safe, and happy while you're away. Your fur babies deserve the best! I currently work part time in VetMed so my schedule is fairly flexible. I have a small hobby farm of my own with several different types of pets that I love caring for. However, I love working with other pets and providing an established routine and relationship, as well. I will be available most weekdays and some weekends. I care for pets in my home/client’s home as if they were my own. They are allowed on furniture/beds if the owner is okay with this. I have doggy gates for separation of other animals if needed. Pets are never left unattended in my home. If I must leave for any reason, your pet must be kenneled in my home. In your home, I will adhere to your routine and guidelines of course.
About: I grew up in a home full of animals. We had dogs, cats, lots of birds, turtles, snakes, lizards, rabbits and ferrets. I love all animals! I have experience with them at all stages of life and especially enjoy training them. My dog is a part of my family, I will always treat every animal in my care as if they were my own family member. I do work over night a few days out of the week, but I am able to be available to care for your fur baby whenever. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet new neighborhood. I have lots of toys and treats and can provide frequent potty breaks. I believe in providing the same level of care I would want for my fur baby.
About: I understand that we live in a busy world so when you book me I make sure to treat your dog(s) like my own! I always feel accomplished when I bring a dog home that has been worn out, and I'm always patient with dogs that are not so easy on walks (big dogs, reactive dogs, dogs who are anxious and dont really like walks). I have lived in Austin for 22 years and I am familiar with many neighborhoods and parks so I am able to take your pup on longer, more mentally stimulating walks rather than just walking around the same block again and again! I appreciate you choosing me to spend time with your pup(s) and I'm am excited to explore Austin with your fur babies!

“Jordan came through last minute for us and was awesome! She has an awesome house for dogs and it was well worth the drive from Austin to drop my pups off. Provided lots of pictures and updated. Will definitely book again when needed!”
“We had someone cancel on us and we reached out to Sara last minute to drop off 4 large dogs (including a 4 month old puppy) and the whole experience was as great as we could have planned. Sara and her family were amazing. The communication and pictures provided comfort to us to know our dogs were having a great time while we were away. We will reach out to Sara to take care of our dogs in the future - she has earned a customer for life. Thank you Sara!”
“We LOVE Candi! We left our 2 boys with her for 8 days and they were definitely well loved and cared for! We got lots of photos and videos of them and they were clearly having a good time! We will 100% be using Candi again for boarding and daycare in the future! Thanks Candi!”
“A great dog sitter! I received lots of pics and videos. My dog had a great time, lots of attention and got to play with other dogs. I definitely recommend Jehisson!”
“I highly recommend Heather for a pet sitter. We stayed informed throughout Levi’s stay. Heather sent us great videos and photos which helped us have peace of mind knowing he was safe and having a lot of fun.”
“Chad is so kind! My dogs were happy, well cared for, safe at all times. He cuddled them when the storm scared them, gave them lots of attention and time to play. They came home cleaner than I dropped them off. You won’t go wrong trusting him with your pups. He is a true animal lover!”
“The family is amazing. Chester was so lucky to have 4 new little friends who really cherish and take good care of him. They offered to take him on extra walks and even washed his bedding. We found a lovely note days after he’s back. It’s really precious to have sitters like Kari’s family.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Jerica. She provided regular updates and pictures of my dog, accommodated a late-night pick-up, and has a big backyard where my dog loved to play. Highly recommended and will book again!”
“Cynthia was very kind with me and my pup. She sent photos and updates which I really appreciated, since it was our 1st time booking. We will definitely be book again my Quincey loves it over there.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jeff and Jirapun taking care of our dog, Miley. They kept us updated throughout her stay with regular messages and plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Miley was well cared for and very comfortable with them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Miley. We truly appreciate your kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely look forward to leaving Miley with you again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time boarding our dogs with Miho, and we are very happy with the great care and frequent updates she provided! We have 2 large dogs that can be a handful, but she handled them very well and made sure they are always safe, fed, and happy. We received many photos and updates throughout their stay, which made us very happy to see how great they were doing and made us feel more at ease while we were out of state. Miho was also super organized and very communicative, we knew exactly what to bring and how to prepare our pups for their stay. She was also very understanding about our flight back getting delayed. Our dogs seemed very happy while there and loved playing with her dog Arden. I would definitely highly recommend Miho for all your boarding needs! :)”
“We will not leave our puppy when going out of town unless it is with: 1. Family or 2. Maddison and Wesley. He’s part of their family when he goes to stay and he loves their kiddos and pups too!”
“Megan is wondering. I never worry one bit about my babies (my two dogs) when they are with her. I know she is taking the best care of them. And every day I get an update and pictures even when I don’t ask. Most the time I’m so busy not worrying about my pups that when the email comes, I figure my babies did something bad and she’s having to tell me but nope,it’s always good news with pictures. My babies love her and so do I!!”
“Mina was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our Teddy! She went above and beyond, constantly sending us pictures and videos, which made us feel connected and reassured the entire time. Thanks to her updates, we never had the chance to miss him too much. Teddy was clearly happy and well-loved in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — highly recommended! We are going back to her again and again ! :)”
“Ivette did sush a great job with our 10week old pup. She got along really great with Nora and updated us requently with photos. Her dog Layla is really well behaved and our pup really got along well with her”
