About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and my hands-on experience caring for them throughout my life. I’ve grown up with both a French Bulldog and a Black Lab, which has given me a strong understanding of different breeds, energy levels, and care needs. I’m comfortable working with dogs of varying temperaments and sizes, from high-energy dogs that need active engagement to more relaxed companions who benefit from a calm, steady approach. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and adjust my care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also prioritize consistency, patience, and clear communication. Whether I’m reinforcing basic routines, caring for senior dogs who may need a gentler pace, or simply providing companionship, I approach every pet with attentiveness and respect. My goal is to provide dependable, high-quality care while making sure each dog feels secure, happy, and at ease in my care. Pet care is a consistent and well-planned part of my weekly routine. I work Monday through Friday, which means I am primarily available in the evenings and on weekends. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits after work on weekdays, as well as more flexible availability on weekends for walks, visits, and house sitting. When house sitting, I ensure pets receive attentive care and maintain their normal routines outside of my working hours. I carefully manage my schedule to remain dependable and punctual, ensuring each pet receives the time, attention, and quality care they deserve. I am committed to providing a safe, reliable, and low-stress environment for every pet in my care. Whether I am dog walking or house sitting, I prioritize each pet’s well-being while maintaining the highest level of respect for my client’s home. During dog walks, I ensure all pets are securely leashed and handled with care at all times. I remain attentive to the surrounding environment to avoid potential hazards and tailor each walk to the dog’s age, temperament, and activity level. I also monitor for signs of fatigue or discomfort and ensure pets return home safely and comfortably. For house sitting, I follow each pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care instructions. Maintaining consistency helps minimize stress and keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I also ensure the home remains clean, secure, and well cared for throughout my stay. Communication is a key part of my service. I provide regular updates, including photos and status reports, so clients can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is to deliver dependable, attentive care while creating a safe and positive experience for both pets and their owners.
“Cortney went above and beyond for me and my little pup. She went out of her way to help me out of 2 jams I was in, and helped make my stay in Austin a fun one. I look forward to using her again!”
“Regan did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She was very communicative and responsive, making us feel comfortable our pet and home were in good hands. Our notoriously shy cat came out to greet her and get pets. We will definitely hire Regan again, highly recommend!”
“Jalon is amazing! I had to go out of town for work for a couple of days, while one of my kittens needed oral medication, and general checking up on. Jalon is very meticulous with his care, great at communicating with the owner, and was so great with the kitties. I definitely recommend him for any of your pets needs.”
About: I have always been great with animals ever since I was a kid. My family always calls me the ‘animal whisperer’. I have been pet sitting for many family members and friends for multiple years. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, nervous dogs, energetic dogs, etc. I also have experience with cats, bunnies, and hamsters. I have gotten nothing but positive reviews from owners and I would love to take care of your furry friend! Because of my summer break I am available pretty much every day! Aside from a few vacations I am free both weekends and week days! Ensuring your pets safety and comfort is always my top priority. When I do drop in visits I will always make sure that there is nothing around the house that your pet could get into and get hurt.
“Vanessa is wonderful with our cats and doggie! She is so sweet with them. She's one of the few dog sitters that our little Pom trusts! Yay! Thank you Vanessa! And thank you for being so willing to help out even at the last moment!”
About: I've had and loved dogs my entire life. I have extra experience with anxious dogs and senior babies as I have some of them myself! I'd love to take care of your puppies like they're mine.

I am unable to bring pets back to my home at this time due to my living situation, but I will provide the best care in your home.
“I really trust and like Jessica for watching over our kitties and home. She has watched over them numerous times and helped us out last minute when we really needed it. Our kitties are always content when we get home after their time with her”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life! My personality has grown around my love for animals and I know I would not be the person I am today without the unconditional love of animals. I have never not owned a pet, I love taking care of them and showing my love! I love all animals and am super comfortable around every kind. Friends can always rely on me to take care of their pets when they’re away, no problem! I just graduated in May from UT and am taking the summer off of work to have fun! I have a very open schedule and can be very flexible to take care of pets. I understand the need for the upmost care for your pets, considering I would want the same as well. Good communication is a key aspect to this care and I would make sure to check in and answer quickly in order to avoid any confusion. Also, I love taking pics so I can always send update pics to ensure safety and trust!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Lake Hills
Terra is amazing!! She is the first experience I’ve had using Rover and she was so thorough and thoughtful with her questions regarding Charlie and his needs. Terra was so helpful with the initial booking process, very communicative, and left the sweetest notes in the daily rover cards. I came home to a happy kitty and felt so good knowing he was well taken care of while I was away. Would absolutely book with Terra again, thank you so much! :)
Bianca was beyond terrific with watching our two pups! She is very dependable and provided awesome communication, updates and pictures. She interacted with our dogs very well and really cared about them in an awesome manner. We would highly recommend Bianca to anyone!!
Meredith was an excellent and brave caretaker of Oscar. Highly communicative, thoughtful and considerate. Oscar warmed up quickly and really enjoyed her presence. Meredith was skilled at managing complex situations and used excellent judgment. Would highly recommend her services and will definitely hire again.
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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
