About: Hi, I’m Nyeira! As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and currently have three dogs of my own. Two were adopted from shelters, and one was a stray I rescued while in college. Caring for pets from different backgrounds has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable in new situations. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs and cats because they know I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I will make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, although I generally prefer working with dogs under 80 pounds. Communication is extremely important to me. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have open availability and ask that bookings or cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am able to provide care in the form of house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on what works best for you and your pet. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I am fully committed to caring for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I am adaptable with timing and happy to follow your preferred schedule and routine to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it, with clear communication and dependable availability. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every pet care situation. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I provide care in the client’s home through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any specific behavioral or comfort preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and am comfortable administering medications when needed. I also provide consistent updates, including messages and photos, so pet parents can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy presence for pets—minimizing stress by maintaining their normal routine and treating their space and care instructions with respect and attentiveness.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 20 years. I have all kinds of experience with different dogs and different temperaments. I am very patient and kind. I am a stay at home mom so I am home all the time. We have 3 dogs, a 10 year old border collie Australian cattle dog mix, a 5 year old blue heeler and a 5 year old chihuahua. All very sweet dogs and all absolutely love to play. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs to keep your dogs company. Lots and lots of play time. I can crate your dog or keep them separated if needed. We allow our dog to sleep in the bed with us so we do not mind if your dog needs to sleep in the bed. I have easy access to walking trails and can walk your dogs if they need some extra exercise.

We take the dogs on walks on the back roads, lots of playtime, and snuggles at night.

“We had a great experience with our Rover sitter, Kaleigh! She did drop-in visits for our dog, Miley, and was absolutely wonderful. She was very sweet with Miley and clearly gave her lots of love and attention during each visit. Kaleigh was always timely and reliable, and we really appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Miley was in such good hands. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”

She's a beautiful communicator; she sends pictures and videos, which helped me feel comfortable knowing my little 4-legged angel is in good hands while I was out of town! I would recommend her AGAIN AND AGAIN!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family.

Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!

About: Growing up with both dogs & cats my entire life, I’ve been around a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I work well with every animal I come across and enjoy caring for any & all — this includes experience with puppy care & training! I’m kind, fun-loving, sociable, and can adapt based on an animal’s needs. I lead with compassion for animals & their owns alike. From family to friends, I always ensure your fur baby is looked after with the utmost of care. As I’m currently working from home, I am readily available for walks, check-ins, house sitting, and boarding throughout the day/night. Overnight stays are no issue here either! Depending on the instructions received from the owner(s), I will be sure to follow any necessary requirements to ensure your pet is looked after & loved for the time that I am there. Whether it’s forms of training, being let in & out, walks, check-ins, etc. - nothing is ever too much. Favorite treats, toys & activities are to be followed to make sure your pet (or pets) is as comfortable & happy as can be!

About: With nearly four years of dog-sitting experience, including caring for my own childhood pup, I understand the importance of trust and personalized attention when it comes to your pet. Working from home allows me the flexibility to offer care while you’re at work or enjoying time with friends. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some company during the day, I’ve got it covered! I’m experienced with senior dogs, ensuring they get the medications they need on time, as well as sticking to special diets when required. From puppy energy to senior snuggles, I treat each dog like they’re my own, providing the love and attention they deserve. Let me give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands! As someone who works from home most days, I have the flexibility to give your dog all the attention they need—including frequent bathroom breaks and daily walks along the beautiful Lady Bird Lake! Living close to the lake and surrounded by Austin’s many parks, I can ensure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time to run, play, and explore. Since I’m already walking by the lake every day, bringing a furry friend along just adds to the fun! Whether it’s a casual stroll or an energetic play session, your dog will have an adventure-filled day while you’re away. Let me make sure they enjoy Austin’s outdoor beauty to the fullest!! While I live in an apartment, I have plenty of space to comfortably crate your dog if needed, with options in the living room or entryway. Located near Lady Bird Lake and several parks in Austin, your dog will have ample opportunities to run around and enjoy the outdoors. I treat every dog with the same care and love as my own, and I’m committed to respecting your home too.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Alum Creek

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
