About: I’ve had dogs and animals my entire life and I always will. Forgive me if I neglect the human bond cause I’ll probably be too busy trying to get your pets attention! I thrive in running this business cause I make myself ready and available to get to know the ins and outs of each pet and their owners. It’s important for me to understand all personalities and habits so their stay with me is the most comfy experience since they will be missing their persons (you) for a little bit. I’ll do my absolute best job to ensure a trust from not only them but you, that will make your future stays unquestionable! I’m self employed and work from home. I have my own schedule so making time for others is second nature and a good habit I’ve developed. If I’m being honest. Wanting to be around animals all the time is my full time job! Extremely flexible and I manage a great routine to fit the day to the pet and not just fit the pet in. My home is open for pets to wonder free and at will, I have a huge fenced yard and I’m happy to crate if needed! My home is pet proof and I adjust to any needs and routine to help keep each pet on their own schedule for minimal disruption while pet parents are away!
“Thank you! I saw your question on the tricks. I would love to teach her how to shake. I have tried a few times but it hasn’t caught on. Open to other ideas too. I am also open to ordering any toys you think would be good for her. I got one of those dog feeder snuffle mats but not something you can use when you just drop in!”
“Mariia was amazing with our cat, Biscuit! She was consistent in providing updates and photos, and Biscuit was clearly a huge fan of her. When we got home, the house was clean and the litter box too. Couldn’t ask for more in a sitter! Will definitely work with Mariia again.”
“Whitney really is one of the best for dog services she knows how to walk well and gets along with your pet immediately also very mild-mannered and relaxing to work with”
“Amanda was an amazing sitter for Sally! She was prompt, communicative, kind, and sent the best playtime photos. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with Sally, and her pricing was great. She is easily the best sitter I’ve found on Rover so far, and I’ll definitely be booking her again often!”
“Isabel was absolutely fantastic with our six-month-old puppy, Oliver! This was our first time leaving him with someone new, and our original sitter fell through at the last minute. I reached out to Isabel on Rover just two days before we needed someone, and she responded within about 20 minutes and was able to help us out. From the very beginning, Isabel made us feel completely at ease. We FaceTimed beforehand, and she asked incredibly thoughtful questions—especially since Oliver is still a puppy and in the middle of training. She asked what commands we use, exactly how we say them, what his routine looks like around meals, and other questions I honestly wouldn’t have even thought to bring up with a sitter. When she came over, she let us know as soon as she arrived and afterward sent a detailed update with photos. She told us when she fed Oliver, what games they played, how he behaved, and even shared thoughtful observations about his personality. I really appreciated how attentive and engaged she was rather than simply stopping by to let him out and feed him. Most importantly, I came away from the experience feeling incredibly confident trusting Isabel with Oliver. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and takes the responsibility seriously. All of her amazing reviews make complete sense after experiencing it firsthand. Isabel is a 10/10, and we would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend her!”
“Kayla was awesome! On short notice she took care of my Miley and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her services. Hopefully she’ll watch Miley on my next trip. 10 stars 🌟”
“I rebooked Raven and I’m so glad to have found someone so reliable to care for my cats! She was able to administer medication to one of them with ease, and she was very communicative throughout her visits. I really appreciated the detailed updates and report cards about how my cats were doing, and she always cleaned up any accidents they had. I could tell my cats were happy and comfortable with her. Raven will definitely be my go-to cat sitter!”
“Heidi did a wonderful job caring for my kitty while I was away for a week! She went above and beyond what I expected and will definitely be re-booking her again when I travel!”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals—so much so that my friends and family have called me a pet whisperer! I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses. I currently have a 6 year-old cat of my own and ride horses 3 days a week, so I'm constantly around cats, dogs, pigs, horses. Spending as much time as I have with animals, I'm comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, energy levels, and personalities I frequently use Rover to find care for my cat, Theodore, and understand the importance of consistent communication and reliable care for your pets while you're away. I’m reliable, conscientious, and very flexible with my schedule. Whether it’s a walk, drop in, or recurring care for your furry friend, I’m happy to help out! I’m currently freelance consulting, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m an early riser and very active—either riding, running, or walking every day, so I’d be happy to give your dog or cat some play time! I’m a very calm, kind, and conscientious person. Spending over a decade with horses has taught me to respect each animals personalities and preferences while still managing to ensure they are well-cared for.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and reliability I give every pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them that way. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, likes, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while in my care. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, long walks, patience, cuddles, or simply someone they can trust, I make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently work part time, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and spending time with them is actually one of my favorite ways to relieve stress and recharge my batteries. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving them attention, or simply relaxing together, I really enjoy the companionship animals bring. My schedule allows me to be dependable, flexible, and present, so your pet gets the care, affection, and attention they deserve. Caring for animals never feels like a chore to me, it’s something I truly look forward to. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, comfortable, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In a client’s home, I respect both their space and their pet’s routine, keeping everything as familiar as possible so the pet feels less stressed while their owner is away. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality and behavior, because every animal is different. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident knowing their pet is being well cared for.
“Brandi took great care of my dog during her drop-in visit! Due to being delayed, she gave extra time and took her for a walk which included getting to see and play with by dog's neighbor pals. And all the pictures showed the joy on both my dog and Brandi's face! Looked like the perfect visit and outing - thanks!”
“Megan was wonderful. She was very accommodating and I got daily updates from her. I will definitely be using Megan again. I never like having to leave my pups behind when I travel and she was able to put me at ease the whole time.”
“Valerie has been so wonderful with our dog! She is a rescue who can be timid around new people. Valerie has been accommodating and patient and now they are become fast friends! She has also been flexible and responsive to requests and schedule changes. This is our first Rover experience and we would recommend Valerie to any pet parent!”
About: I started taking care of dogs during the pandemic. 2 yrs ago a friend was in a crunch and I took in her dog for almost a year. Gave me more hands on experience and I’ve dog sat other dogs on and off since. Currently work from home so, my schedule is very flexible. As long as we agree on a time and date, i’ll be there on time. I live near a dog park and love going on long walks. I have a car I can come to you and walk them near you or whatever you’re comfortable with.
“I found Christopher on Rover at the last minute to help with 3 visits. One of our dogs is a rescue that we’ve had less than a week; he’s being crated and I was unable to get away from work. Christopher came to my house after I messaged him and met everyone. He was kind and competent and I knew the dogs would be in good hands. He did a great job—he was on time for his visits, and sent me pictures and messages. It was such a relief to me to know that my dogs were well-cared for. I will use him again for sure!!!”
About: About Me: - Lifelong animal lover, grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, birds, and sheep at my grandmother's house - Currently pursuing a Master's in Shelter Medicine, starting in 2027 - Animal care isn't a side interest, it's the direction my whole career is heading Hands-On Experience: - Foster newborn kittens through Austin Pets Alive! - Own and care for my Golden Retriever, Bruno and my two cats Sabrina & Sofia - Comfortable with daily routines, feeding, medication, and special handling needs Certifications: - Pet Tech CPR & First Aid Certified - Fear Free Shelters Certified (trained in low-stress animal handling) Volunteer Work: - Active volunteer with Austin Pets Alive! - Support their clinic, cat, and dog programs Why Pet Owners Can Trust Me: - Background in project management, dependable, organized, clear communicator - Treat every animal with the same patience and attention I'd want for my own - Calm, informed care backed by real certifications, not just enthusiasm My schedule is flexible, with most of my availability on weekends and evenings, plus extra flexibility on Thursdays and Fridays when I work from home. That means I can offer longer visits, midday check-ins, or extra playtime on those days, not just a quick walk and out the door.

I live in an apartment with my own dog, who is super friendly and great with other dogs, plus two equally friendly cats. Your pet won't be alone, they'll have calm, social animal companions the whole time. I don't have a yard, so walks and nearby green space are how we get outside time in, and I'm always attentive to introductions so everyone feels comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their fur babies while their lives are busy! It brings me a lot of joy to take care and connect with animals. I work from home Wednesdays + Fridays from 9:30-5:30. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have flexibility because my partner works from home and can help too! This schedule allows us the freedom to feed, walk, and be with your animal babies a lot! While at home, we have a small fenced in yard, perfect for pet sitting at our house. Whether they're in my home or a client's home, I am always making sure waters bowls are full, pets are loved, and they are happy and behaving normally.

Anna is the best! She’s watched cinnamon multiple times for me now. Cinny is not easy and she goes above and beyond giving her the best care while I’m away. She is always responsive, and I can tell cinnamon is having a great time in all the photos. Could not recommend Anna more!
Lucia was very thoughtful and kind, she did a great job walking and checking up on my dog max! He’s very old and has a lot of health issues, I usually have a hard time finding a willing sitter. Lucia met all of his needs with great care and attention. 5 stars and will definitely book again.
We needed someone last minute for morning drop-ins for our 2 puppers while we were out of town, and Madison was absolutely amazing!! Communication was on point, and we could really tell from the daily photos that the boys were absolutely LOVING their visits and walks. As someone who is fairly particular… I would absolutely, without hesitation, recommend Madison. 10/10. Five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Lake Hills stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Lake Hills choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in West Lake Hills with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
