“Dan took such amazing care of our dog while we were travelling! He helped our very particular senior dog take his meds and eat every bite of his meals. We are so glad to have found Dan and will be recommending him to everyone who needs a dog sitter!”


About: Dependable and attentive sitter focused on keeping pets comfortable and routines consistent. I’m clean, communicative, and make sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and am trying to fill out more of my schedule! I have a lot of flexibility right now and want to take advantage of that to spend time petting some cute animals. I don’t offer boarding, but I prioritize a clean, safe, and calm environment when caring for pets in their home. I stick to routines and provide a steady, low-stress presence so pets feel comfortable.

“Alicia was great! Was very flexible and communicative, and was kind enough to pick up packages of pet food while I was out of the country. Would definitely recommend!”

“Karalee is very friendly and my dog warmed up to her instantly when we had our meet and greet. It gave me peace of mind knowing that Karalee would be letting my dog out. I will book with her again in the future!”

“Misha is an amazing communicator and cat whisperer! He looked after our boys for the long weekend and continuously sent updates. He made sure they had everything they needed which put us at ease. Highly recommend hiring him!”

“We got so lucky finding Allie! I needed a last minute sitter and took to Rover to find one. Allie was so responsive and was able to set up a meet & greet that same day. Skye is usually anxious when meeting new people, but warmed up to Allie instantly - which is always a good sign for me. I was immediately put at ease and felt the trust established. Allie was on top of it and took such good care of Skye. It was so nice to receive such intentional Rover Cards with pictures of Skye every day. I would recommend Allie to anyone looking for a pet sitter in South Austin and will definitely be reaching out again!”


“Ive definitely had a bad experience with rover sitters before and almost deleted the app. Let me tell you, Christine turned it around for me, this is the second time using her and she’s amazing. Punctual, leaves details about her trip, and it puts my mind at ease. Plus my kitties love her!!! Could not recommend her enough!!”

“Stephanie has been helping me with Callie for about 1.5 years and has been amazing. Callie is always well cared for and loves her walks. Callie also has some issues with other dogs which Stephanie has been amazing navigating and handling. I couldn’t recommend anyone more!!”

“Lauren is the best!! She was so nice, and loved on our two kitties!!! She goes above and beyond to make sure the animals are happy, and makes animal parents feel at ease while being away! Highly recommend Lauren!!”

“Elizabeth was great!! Super communicative and friendly, plus the coordination was very easy. She took such great care of my cat, provided detailed updates for each check in and sent the cutest pictures of all time! 10/10 cannot recommend her enough!!”

“Lillian was fantastic! She had great communication and sent lots of photos during each visit, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was punctual and stayed for the full 30 minutes with Juniper, making sure she had all her potty breaks, food, water, and attention. Juniper was clearly comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Lillian again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Page took great care of my dog, Willow! This was Willow’s first Rover experience and I can tell she was very well taken care of which puts my mind at ease. I will definitely be booking with Page again in the future!”

“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!”

“Antonio had great communication from the start. He came over to see our place and meet Zoey before our vacation. I felt very comfortable with his help. He even brought in a package on our porch for us that had arrived late. We will definitely use him again as Zoey seemed like a very happy cat when we got home.”

“Mia was just what we needed: a kind, compassionate, and reliable kitty sitter. She was trustworthy, tidy and reliable. I recommend Mia to anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter!”

Laura has been amazing with my pups. She is thorough and hilarious with her communication, and sends plenty of pics while I have been away. My dogs are not the easiest to deal with, yet she handles them with grace and care. Will absolutely use her again in the future!

Reliable, punctual, and great communication! We had a fantastic experience with this drop-in visit! Lauren arrived exactly on time, which gave us total peace of mind. We loved getting the photo updates while we were away, and she left everything perfectly clean and tidy. Our pup was so well taken care of—we will definitely be booking with Lauren again!

Summer is amazing. She’s been taking care of our 3 pups via drop in visits when we’re away on trips. She always sends updates and photos, and these are always personal to each pup’s personality and warm. She’s very attentive and mindful of everyone’s likes and dislikes. Being confident that my pups are in good hands is all the peace I need.

Sydney is the best! I appreciated her stopping by ahead of my trip to meet Sasha & get acclimated with her space/routine. Sasha took to her immediately :) strong communication & a clear love for animals. So appreciate you, Sydney! Thank you for helping me & Sasha out in a pinch!

Maura was great! We take care of some feral cats, and she followed our instructions perfectly without any issues. She kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Would absolutely book Maura again and highly recommend her!
Robert not only took the best care of my cats but he went above and beyond to clean up their messes around the house as well. I feel like my house is cleaner than when I left it lol! I always have anxiety when leaving my cats for a long time on vacation but I was so at ease this time. He cared for my cats like I would my own and was AMAZING! Thank you!
