“Christine has been a great sitter for my two dogs- one who can be very slow to trust sitters and she always keeps me informed with pictures and dogs are happy!”


“Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.”

“Jeff is great. Extremely reliable and compassionate with my dogs. He took great care of them. And left my house in the same condition as it was when I left. I highly recommend him. I have had a lot of problems with Rover in Austin and Jeff is one of the few sitters I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with”

“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”

“Magdalene was amazing she stayed at our house and watched Ella. She took great care of our little stinker and our house. She was very accommodating taking her to doggie daycare and even giving her a bath when she needed. She sent us pictures and updates regularly. Ella was having tummy issues and she went and got her some pumpkin to help out. She is amazing thank you so much for everything.”

“Mariah was very attentive to my instructions and left my house looking spotless. She made sure to send plenty of updates and my boys looked like they had a blast. Highly recommend Mariah!”

“Carol was absolutely incredible! She was so kind, so sweet, so communicative—everything was so easy with her. Our dogs absolutely loved her and she went above and beyond with them, as well as taking care of our home while she stayed here. We will absolutely be using her again!”

About: Growing up, friends and family always called my house the "zoo" with our wide array of amazing animal family. So, friends and family have trusted me to take care of a wide variety of pets with different personalities and needs. I have experience with all sizes of dogs (including sensitive dog breeds like italian greyhounds), cats, small birds, reptiles, and freshwater fish. Every animal I meet receives the utmost love and care through the quality time I spend with them, consistent care schedules and bringing a calm energy to whatever space they are in. I am currently off for the entire summer due to working in the public school system, so I will have lots of time to spend with your pets and attend to their needs! When caring for pets in your home, I love to spend time with your pets! Making them feel safe and loved by taking them on a walk, out in the backyard, to the dog park or playing inside makes all the difference.
“Jena was excellent with my 2 bassets! The best part of working with Jena was how communicative she was. She sent pictures throughout the stay, and was very comfortable asking questions and keeping me updated on the boys. She really made me and my husband feel at ease with her at our home with the boys. Jena even went above and beyond, checking in to make sure we got home ok and that everyone was good! She has a kind spirit, and the dogs really took to her. Definitely will book again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Crystal, and we had a great experience! We opted for the house sitting and she gave us daily updates and our pup looked happy and relaxed. We’ve already rebooked her for the end of the month! Thank you Crystal!”

“This recent booking was our first overnight stay with Steven. I’ve booked Steven a couple times before for day-stays and I was so relieved to hear he was available for house sitting while I went on a several day hiking trip in California. My pup is anxious and very attached to me so, I have a hard time leaving her with just anyone. Knowing Steven would be taking care of my pup let me fully enjoy myself while I was away. I’m appreciative of his flexibility, understanding, and communication. Thank you for all of your kindness and patience with Palomita! Can’t wait for our next house sitting opportunity.”

Ja was a great communicator, sent lots of pics of our dog, and left our house in excellent condition. I felt particularly bad for not setting up our house code properly when we left, which had her stuck outside our house for a half hour, but she was gracious about it and loved on our dog. Thank you Ja for helping us out, and on short notice to boot!

Kate did a fantastic job taking care of our house, English bulldog & herd of tortoises. One of the tortoises even laid eggs while we were away and Kate was all over it, she supervised the process and retrieved the eggs for me too! Everything was right as rain when we got back. Kate was super communicative and engaged throughout the whole time we were gone.

Our dog is fearful of meeting new people and Brandi's calm energy was great for him (and my anxiety about trying a new sitter lol!). She dealt with feeding him turkey through his muzzle and all the other details of a first meeting we wanted to cover. 10 stars on communication and reliability. She did wonderfully with Georgie on our 'trial run' before our longer trip and I'm so happy to have found someone we can trust our anxious fur baby with while we're away.

We could not be happier with the incredible care our dog received from Marley! From start to finish, she was so responsible and communicative, keeping us updated the entire time we were away. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our dog as so well loved, safe, and happy. We also came home to a clean house which is so nice. Highly recommend Marley!

Natalie stayed at our house and took incredible care of our puppy, Peach! She was communicative, sent daily photos, and cared for/trained/played with Peach perfect. She also kept our house in perfect condition. We highly recommend her to any Rover dog owners! 🐶 🍑

Lauren was great! She did a meet and greet and got to know my pets and their needs before I left for my trip. Since my dog is a senior dog and needs assistance with walking at times and takes multiple daily medications I am always a little nervous to leave him. She provided photo updates frequently so I never had to wonder if the animals were okay. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation and not worry at all about my pets!
