“Katie was excellent!! We appreciated her care and attentiveness to our girls. We rested easy knowing she was with them. We would use her again and highly recommend her for overnight stays.”
“Kat is incredible. From our meet and great I could tell Kat was going to be gr8. She’s detail oriented, took notes & it was immediately apparent she is a true animal lover. Ruger may want us to go on vacation again. Multiple daily updates to put our minds at ease allowed us to fully emerge Ourselves in our vacation with full knowledge that our big baby boy was well taken care of! She also took great care of our house and went above and beyond in every category. We will definitely request her services again!”
“Michael does a great job with my cats. They both like him and are comfortable around him. He is attentive to their needs and care and is good at communicating and checking in with me multiple times per day. Would highly recommend him to anyone!!”
About: Animals have been my first love since I was six. As an only child, pets were like siblings, and I’ve been the family go to pet sitter for years. I’m based in Austin and work full-time during the week, but I’m available for weekend house sitting, evening drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m reliable, respectful, and treat every pet like my own. I lost my dog not long ago, so caring for animals now means even more to me. Whether it’s senior pets, playful pups, or just keeping your home secure, I’m here to help. I work full time during the week, but I’m available for weekend house sitting, overnight stays, and evening check ins. I’ll always communicate clearly and update my calendar to reflect availability. I make sure your pet is well fed, hydrated, and comfortable in their environment. I pay close attention to their needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions, including giving medication, crate time, or just extra love. Whether they need playtime, quiet company, or structured care, I’m here to provide it all with patience and respect.
“Chantell was great with my dogs. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, healthy and safe. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a great dog sitter and I will be reaching out to her again. Thank you Chantell”
“Jaijai took great care of our fur babies when we went on vacation for five days. We came back to them happy and healthy. We definitely recommend her for home and pet sitting. Thank you, Jaijai!”
About: I have taken care and pet-sat for friends and family for many years. I have also volunteered at animal shelters to help take care of the animals there. I briefly took some veterinarian classes too. I know how to administer medicine if required. I work at a part-time job and am currently in the process of moving, so i like having a week to 2 week notice so i can adjust my schedule to take care of your furry companions! I can cater to whatever needs your pet needs if I am told what their routine is like. I can balance my schedule with your pet's needs very easily. I am in shape so I can take your pet on long walks to help them get that excess energy out! We'll play plenty of games together and a lot of pets and cuddles will be given out. They'll be treated as if they were my own so they will be well taken care of.
“Ryan did a fantastic job house and dog sitting for us. He had to swing by to pick something up after we returned, and they were thrilled thinking he was coming over to play with them again! For our first time using him, Ryan was more than happy to take time and do a meet and greet with the dogs beforehand. While we were traveling, he was sending regular updates, photos, and videos of the pups. We'll definitely look to use him again the next time we need coverage!”
“Elisa watched my 11 year old pitbull and was amazing! I have never left my dog with a stranger before, Elisa gave me multiple updates everyday and made sure both Lady (my dog) and I felt very comfortable. I would absolutely recommended Elise to anyone and would, without a doubt use Elisa again to watch my girl.”
“Abby was absolutely incredible! My family and I are so happy we found her. She took such good care of all three of our dogs and our home while we were away for a trip. She gave us daily updates and sent us pictures and videos that made our day! We felt so safe leaving our dogs in her care and she went above and beyond caring for our elderly dogs (as well as our high energy golden)-providing medication, exercise, and lots of love. Will definitely be booking again with Abby!! ♥️”
About: Growing up I always had animals at home and this hasn’t changed since. I have experience training and taking care of puppies as well as sickly elderly dogs (who both need more attention and time). I’m equally a dog and a cat person. I’m ready to give your pets all the love, but I also understand that some pets need their personal space. I am patient and experienced with dogs with some behavioral issues as well. I am an owner of a 5 year old shiba inu which is one of the most difficult breeds to handle, but also they are the sweetest and most loyal, loving companions, if one knows how to handle them well. I cannot host your dog as mine isn’t dog friendly, but I will gladly take care of your pets at your home. I’m a freelancer and the only time I won’t be available is Mon-Wed-Fri between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Besides that I’m available all the remaining days and hours. I always keep my pets on leash and make sure they are secure before opening the doors, for example at my own home I have a baby gate by the front door as shibas are escape artists. I have a smoke-free car and a dog/cat transporter if needed. I can crate your pets and ensure they have access to fresh water before I leave.
“Melody was incredible! She stepped to care for our golden retriever and dachshund while we were away for a wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for better. She was kind, attentive, and kept us updated throughout the day with potty and feeding check ins plus tons of pictures throughout the day. We felt at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Julie was fantastic! My pup loved her, she asked all good questions when she was unsure about something and left our house very clean. I know my doggo can't wait to have her back.”
“Amanda was great! The fur babes had a lovely time with her for the two weeks we were away. She also left our house quite tidy which was nice to come home to after being gone so long.”
“Tori is the absolute best! We have no worries at all when she is taking care of the dogs. She takes them out regularly, plays with them, and treats them like her own. We love her!”

Tianna E.
“I can’t say enough good things about Tianna — she’s an absolute gem! From the moment we met, I could tell my pup was in good hands. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly a dog person through and through. Whether it was daily walks, playtime, or cuddles on the couch, my dog came back happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little spoiled (in the best way possible). I especially appreciated the updates and photos while I was away — total peace of mind. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, look no further. Highly recommend!”

Anna G.Star Sitter
“I've had the pleasure of knowing Anna for several years now, and I can confidently say that she's one of the most caring and animal loving individuals I know. As someone with a very energetic and dog-reactive dog, I always struggle to find a person experienced enough on apps like Rover. What's great about Anna is that she always approaches each dog with patience, kindness, and positive reinforcement. Having years of dog training experience, she understands that every dog is unique and has its own needs, and she takes the time to learn each dog's personality so that they are comfortable around her. If you are looking for someone that can handle your pet with care and safety in mind, I highly recommend Anna. She'll turn your furry friend's potty break into a highlight of the day!”

Windemere pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jessica was a phenomenal partner working with both us as owners and our dogs, one of which needed special attention due to health issues. From meeting with us and the dogs to the actual stay and sitting, she was communicative and responsive to make us feel comfortable leaving town and that everything was taken care of!
This was my second booking with Connor. Connor was flexible when my plans for a long wknd away changed to a daycation for reasons out of my control. Once again I received superior communication and pictures of my dog throughout the booking. I know my dog is comfortable with and well cared for by someone I can trust while I’m away. Highly recommend Connor and would definitely book again 😁
Melody was incredible! She stepped to care for our golden retriever and dachshund while we were away for a wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for better.

Highly recommend her to anyone!
Wow! Julie went above and beyond to take care of our dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She spoiled our babies, kept the house clean, and handled a couple of incidents perfectly. She is kind, thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her!
Jack was an excellent house sitter for Rory. Jack was very professional during our meet and greet and really cares about dogs! They gave me many updates throughout the evening and were able to walk Rory even though she can be reactive on the leash. They left the house in great condition and I would love for Jack to house sit with Rory again in the future!
Ryan was fabulous! We just moved back to the area and decided to work with Ryan when we were gone for a long weekend. Our animals had the best time with him and we received tons of pictures and updates! Communication was top notch and we felt extremely comfortable having Ryan house sit for us. We'd recommend Ryan to anyone who asked and look forward to booking him in the future!
Elisa watched my 11 year old pitbull and was amazing! I have never left my dog with a stranger before, Elisa gave me multiple updates everyday and made sure both Lady (my dog) and I felt very comfortable. I would absolutely recommended Elise to anyone and would, without a doubt use Elisa again to watch my girl.
Aaron was the best dog sitter I could have ever asked for. As a trusted pet sitter myself, I wanted someone who would care for my dogs the way I would care for others pets. Aaron exceeded my expectations! I have 3 large dogs and 2 of them have mobility/neurologic issues. He made sure everyone had their meds, communicated constantly, checked in on them multiple times a day, and notified me immediately if anyone was having issues. It’s such a huge relief knowing my pets were in good hands! I don’t even think my pets missed me all that much with Aaron watching them. ☺️
Briana took care of our cat and dog for 10 days while we were out of the country. She was amazingly communicative, responsible, and so so kind to our pets. We are super appreciative of the time and care she put into making sure our pets were happy while we were gone. Thank you, Briana!!
