Kate did so great with our pups! We were in Austin for the weekend and she came to the Airbnb and took perfect care of the doggies without ever meeting them before this weekend.

Christine was an absolute delight to communicate with, and we trust her implicitly with caring for our pet dog and cat, both are senior animals who require medication and special attention. Christine was quick to respond to our inquiries, and left thorough notes for each visit. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs pet care assistance.

She went above and beyond for us during an emergency with our cat, Gato. She was so kind and compassionate and stepped in to help coordinate care, drive him to the vet, and stay with him through the process. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring.

Brand new client and I booked 1-2 days before I needed Antonio. So I had a lot of instructions for him and he handled it without any hiccups and took care of the pups in some ways I didn’t specifically note. Would def book Antonio again. Thank you!

I definitely recommend Dale for peace of mind when leaving your furry friends. He took excellent care of my senior fur baby and even got my nervous cat to warm up. He sent great photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond tidying their litter and eating areas. I would absolutely have Dale back to care for my guys!

About: Me and pets…we just get each other, you know? I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, geckos, and more since I was a child. (Before I go on, both of my cats are currently staying with my parents — so I have plenty of room for your pet!) I’m close to my sister, and her senior pug, Lola, and new puppy, Ruby, are my sweet nieces — I’ve cared for them like they’re my own many times over the years. (I can’t wait to get my own dog someday!) I also love to foster all kinds of animals, from puppies to new cat moms and their 8 tiny kittens. In fact, I adopted my second cat, Dusty, after fostering and falling in love with her from APA three years ago. I adopted my senior cat, Minerva, almost 14 years ago from a Brooklyn shelter.  I’m a freelance writer and editor who works from home and loves to be outside, which is why Rover is perfect for me. Whether I’m taking your pup on a long walk (my favorite thing in the world) or cuddling up with your kitty at home, I’m excited to meet your furry best friend! I’m a freelance writer who works from home and sets my own schedule. I also don’t currently have pets in my home. So I have a lot of flexibility to visit your home, take your pet on walks, or host them in my home! My home is currently pet free and safe and ready to welcome your pet. They can even sleep in the bed if they feel like cuddling!

About: Growing up, we had two small dogs and a grouchy old cat. When I was 22, I adopted my own kitten who was found in a barn and later at 25, adopted another kitten. I absolutely adore pets and will make sure that I’ve spent enough time with them to make them feel loved even when you are away. I’m the go-to pet sitter in my family and have traveled to Florida, Denver and Chicago to take care of different relatives dogs. This included a dog with a sensitive stomach/strict diet and an older deaf/blind dog needing different medications throughout the day. I would love to adapt a puppy now, but it does not make sense for me as I tend to travel on the weekends at least once a month. So, I’m on Rover looking to get my animal fix and am so excited about it! I’m fully remote and have a flexible work day, which allows me to easily spend ample time with your dog or cat! I’d love to keep them company while you are busy. I plan on following your instructions on how to best interact with your pet and make them feel safe. However your pet needs to be greeted and left after visiting them, I’ll make sure to follow those instructions.

Truly can’t say enough good things about Kim. Leaving my cats is never easy, but she made the entire experience stress free. I am a very anxious cat mom and leaving my cats is never easy, but Kim is so attentive to each of their personalities and routines. Making my stress non existent. She send thoughtful photos, updates and a true peace of mind when I’m away. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care about your pets like they’re her own, then book Kim. I will be using her in the future

Lillian was absolutely amazing with my three babies! I haven’t used Rover in over 4 years and was pretty nervous to leave them for a few days for a work trip. Lillian came over for a meet and greet prior to make everyone comfortable and they all loved her immediately. She kept me updated with pictures each visit and it definitely eased my anxious mind. I’ll definitely be using Lillian again in the future!
