“Anna watched my dog and cat for over two weeks and I’m so grateful that she was their pet sitter. Her and her husband are compassionate and accommodating so they went above and beyond to make sure my needy cat and my timid dog felt comfortable and had everything they needed. My dog rarely forms bonds with new people but she did with Anna, which spoke to how caring and gentle Anna is! I highly recommend Anna and have told all my pet parent friends about how great of an experience my pets had and how much peace of mind I had while away. Anna is kind, knowledgeable, diligent, and thoughtful - all of the qualities you’d want in a trusted sitter!”
“Erika was fantastic with my dog! She was very proactive about sending multiple updates a day via photo and videos. Erika's was also a great place for exercise and hanging out with other dog friends. I will for sure be booking her services in the future. Thank you!”
“Our dog was so happy with Cassandra and Jason! They sent us plenty of update pictures and make sure he had so much fun while we were out of town. We’ll definitely use them again!”
“Christine & Colin were great! We got lots of pictures and updates, and and they took the time to get to know her personality and needs. All of which gave us great peace of mind!”
“Nataliia was super sweet and kind! She was always checking in and sending updates about Lorenzo, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and took amazing care of him. We’re really happy with her and would totally recommend her!”
“Sarah was a great communicator the entire time and proactive about all logistical things! She was super flexible when I had to add an additional day of care last minute and checked in about anything she had a question about while my dog was with her. Keanu came home happy and well-cared for :)”
“We are so grateful to have Chris as a sitter! We can tell he absolutely loves dogs, and he provides exceptional care — he went above and beyond to care for Rocky when he wasn’t feeling well during his stay. It’s also a relief that we can tell that when Rocky comes back to Chris’s house, Rocky is really excited to see Chris and did his happy butt wiggle :). Chris’s place is a little dog heaven and Rocky had a blast playing with all the dogs and being in a pack — like a summer camp for him!”
“David was great! Communication was clear throughout the entire process. He sent multiple pictures and videos of Junie during her visit. Even gave me a little picture of her in a frame! I will continue to come back in the future!”
“Wow we stumbled on a treasure with Manuela and her sweet partner and pup! Our dog Hanna stayed with them for two nights and seriously lived her best life. Amazing communication throughout and great video updates. Their dog Morgan is the gentlest boy and our smaller dog - who is normally a little skidding around big dogs - literally napped in his dog bed with him. We feel way better booking trips now knowing Manuela is an option!”
“Asha is great at tending to pups and always made me feel aware and connected to what they were doing or how my pup was feeling. While traveling, Asha asked for all the details about my pups needs, wants, and comfort and respected those bounds throughout her stay. Bonus benefit is she made friends with Asha’s pup Carl! Appreciate all the pictures, updates, and glad she had a great stay!”
“A well experienced Sitter who can understand the needs of the pet. I was well informed on my pet on a regular basis. Will use her services again whenever I am in Austin.”
“Kevin is my go to for my dog, Beau. I think it’s safe to say my guy always comes home a little sad when he leaves because of how much love he receives on his little vacation stays with Kevin. Highly recommend if you’re ever in need.”
“Lily was great, communicative, and easy at every step of the way. Lana had a great time and was happy from drop off to pickup. I’d recommend Lily and definitely would use her again!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my 2 pups with Jose! He sent pictures and videos every day and I could tell he is very attentive. We were gone for 8 days and know our dogs were very happy with him! I love that he has his own dogs and that so many other people feel so comfortable leaving their babies with him! 10/10 would recommend and definitely use his services again!”
“Sarah is amazing! Super attentive, very communicative and took the best care of my pup. 100% trusted that my pup was in the best hands. Highly recommend and will absolutely use again!”
“I don’t know who had a better time: Luna, Samuel, or us! 😂 LOVED our experience with Samuel and look forward to booking again. He was communicative, thoughtful and took great care of our pup.”
“Olha was terrific with taking care of my sweet cat. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous how the experience would go, but Olha sent me constant updates and made sure my cat was cared for and comfortable. I highly recommend booking with Olha and I plan to contact her again in the future! ❤️❤️”
“Dena took such great care of my senior dog while I was traveling. I received photos and updates daily, and she was very attentive about following the feeding and medication instructions I left. Would definitely book again!”

West University dog parents share their Rover experiences
Audrey is THE BEST. Not only did she make sure that Barnaby had a safe place to stay and lots of outside fun time, but she was training him!!! So happy we found her, absolute professional, kept us informed and Barnaby has such a great time. Will be booking again when we go out of town and bringing Barnaby to the doggie day care a few times a month to keep up that pack mentality.
Sarah was amazing with Louie! He was spoiled rotten and had the best time, will definitely be returning to her if we ever need a babysitter again. Thank you Sarah for your fantastic work! I was able to enjoy my vacation worry free knowing that my fur baby was with you. :)
Great experience with Carlee boarding my main man, Brother. Communication was easy, along with our meet and greet with our dogs prior to booking. She had a personal yard and was right next to a park with a public fenced dog run. My pup loves some personal time, as well as lots of play with other dogs, so her space was really well setup to accommodate lots of doggy personalities. I know he enjoyed the company of Carlee's sweet boy, Gunner, also. I felt safe leaving him for a couple days and never had to worry while I was gone!
Manuela was amazing! My first time leaving my doggie with a sitter and I was super nervous. Manuela made me feel so at peace! She sent me so many pics, videos, and updates which made me feel so comforted! She, her husband, their dog were all so welcoming to Lando and accommodated his unique individual needs with ease. It was clear Lando felt right at home and I was so grateful that I didn’t have to stress because I knew he was being taken care of so well :)
