“Nanny Cindy was such a great fit for my little Maddie. We have only had her for a year and she’s been through quite a lot in her 12 doggie years. Cindy is the first person we have left her with and I felt so comfortable with her style and setup. Thank you Cindy for a much needed break. We will be back. ✨”
“Honestly spectacular! This was my first time ever using River and Gil made the process super comfortable for me. Two weeks prior, I was able to go for a free meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted and she was lovely. Then during my return trip, my flight got delayed by over 7 hours and I had to pick up my dog the next day. She was super super understanding and responsive. She was accommodating to the new situation. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better first experience with someone on this app.”

“I truly cannot say enough incredible things about Bassam. I booked with him on less than 24 hours notice during a stressful situation, and he showed up in every possible way, and then some. While traveling on a work trip, my pup had a medical emergency, and Bassam didn’t hesitate for a second. He took him to the vet on my behalf, carefully followed through on all instructions, administered medications, managed diaper changes, kept him clean and comfortable, and closely monitored his behavior every step of the way. The level of attentiveness, responsibility, and compassion he showed gave me complete peace of mind in a situation that could have easily been overwhelming. Communication was exceptional. He sent frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout each day, which made such a difference in helping me feel connected and reassured while I was away. Beyond the emergency care, it’s clear that Bassam genuinely loves what he does. He has created a true “pet oasis” at his home. My boys had the best time exploring his huge backyard, playing, sniffing, and socializing with other pups. They came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Bassam goes above and beyond in every sense. His attention to detail, his calm and capable presence, and his genuine love for animals set him apart in a big way. It’s rare to find someone you trust this completely with your pets, and I am so grateful we found him. I will absolutely be booking with Bassam again—he’s not just a dog sitter, he’s a total pet whisperer. 🐾”

“Aine and Jared are my go-to sitters here in Austin. Their attention to detail and communication is unmatched. Stella loves spending time at their house and playing with Fionn!”

“Alison was amazing watching my girl Stella. She was kept very active and they had a blast together. I appreciated the photo updates and Alison’s attention to her needs. Will be booking again, thanks Alison!”

“Sarah has watched Lulu 5 times and she has been fantastic each time. She has been responsive and always gives Lulu lots of love and hugs. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Lovely couple! Was so happy to leave Bruno in the care of Rachel and Trevor. I know he enjoyed his time with them, the long walks on the trail and the extra cuddles. Would definitely use again :)”

“It was so reassuring to know that our dog was with patches and her little pack while we were on our trip! We got lots of reassuring updates, and we could tell that she stayed calm and had great access to a lovely grassy yard. We are all very appreciative and look forward to our next visit!”

“Once again, what a worry free vacation my husband and I had knowing Sunny was being spoiled, loved and cared for by Lilia. I enjoyed her daily photos of Sunny. Lilia is a good "dog photographer" she manages to get Sunny to pose for pictures everytime. Thank you Lilia.😁”
“I haven’t used Rover in a while as I have a regular sitter now, but the rare time they are unavailable I was quite nervous coming back on Rover again. I’m SO glad I found Sam on here! He was so responsive, made sure to provide me consistent updates and followed my instructions perfectly. Petey (my dog) absolutely enjoyed staying with Sam, I could tell - so I will be using his services again.”
“Jazzsminn took great care of my pup! She is gifted with animals and very passionate. She made me feel very at ease while she boarded my dog for a long stay. Jazz was also very accommodating when I had a last minute booking. I will definitely be a return customer!”

“Our toothless dog Coco loved Michelle! Michelle communicated with both my wife and I, which made her so happy. She made so many accommodations and was extremely patient with us since our dog is kind of high-need and just came out of a surgery. I don’t feel like Michelle is charging enough for what she did for us watching our Coco.”

“Erika was great with Thor. We needed a pet sitter for 1 night in Austin and she was great answering my questions, receiving my Pup and sending videos and photos throughout the day. Highly recommended. I would choose her again if I need a sitter in Austin again.”

“I think this was Abby's 5th time with Savannah and Gabriel. They are great with her. Abby is a handful as she is only 8 months old and still doing typical puppy things. I like that S and G meet me outside their apt building, so I just hand Abby over to them. They take up her bag of food and toys, and her crate and framed puppy pad, so I can be on my way. Same when I come to pick Abby up. They have one dog, also a shih tzu. I like that they do have a playmate for Abby and also that they just have one dog and she's a small one like Abby. As I've said before, their apartment is immaculate and very nice and so is their dog. So I know that Abby won't be finding stuff on their floor to chew up and swallow. (She's still in that phase.) They also have pee pads, a playpen, nice beds, etc. S and G always keep me informed with photos while I'm away. I'm so glad I found them.”

“Priscila was amazing! My dog Cherry had a great time staying with her and she took amazing care of my pup. Got regular updates and Priscila was very fast at responding! Will definitely use her again in the future”

“Barbara was so kind to Olive. Olive had a great time hanging out with Barbara!! Received lots of pictures and updates. Highly recommend booking Barbara for all you small doggie care needs in Austin. Will def book again!”

Zilker dog parents share their Rover experiences
Laura did a fantastic job watching my girls while I was away for the weekend! Laura was very kind, her dog was sweet, and I knew they were going to be well taken care of the moment I dropped them off. She also had great communication / updates throughout their stay! My pups came home as happy as ever, thank you so much!

Rosemary was amazing! She took incredible care of Peter while my husband and I were on vacation. She gave tons of updates and pictures throughout his stay. Peter had a blast and she was so sweet and gentle with him. She had some potty training wins with him and even taught him a cute boop trick :) As first time Rover users she set the bar so high and will only absolutely book with again whenever she is available! Thank you so much, Rosemary! 🩷
