About: Ask me how to get $20 off your first booking!! Hi, I’m Gabby! I’m a dog momma to my Luna girl, a 9 year old Lab/Australian Shepherd Mix and Leala a 8 year old mixed breed. My girls are sassy & full of personality and I’ve had them since they were puppies. I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs & cats and have been the go to person for animal care for the people in my life and beyond that for many years. I have about 20 years of experience when it comes to caring for animals. I have cared for dogs & cats of all ages, breeds, personalities, & medical needs! And even fish & lizards! We promise to give lots of love to your fur baby. I know every animal is unique and assure patience and a willingness to take the time to get to know them! ** Please note that my dogs would be with me for house/pet sitting & walking which would provide fun & socialization for your dogs as well!** A little about me: I’ve been a nanny, an animal caregiver, elderly caregiver, & I worked in hospice for 8 years (direct patient care as as a volunteer dept supervisor where my goal was to find and match volunteers of all kinds with patients to improve their quality of life) *FYI: extra tasks (other than caring for your animals) will need to be discussed and there may be an extra fee.* I have a flexible schedule. My pups eat twice daily, but we can incorporate whatever feeding style your fur baby needs. Most of my life revolves around my pups so that means it will around your animals as well! I know it takes a couple days for us and animals to learn each other and will be understanding of that while meeting your fur baby where and how they need. Please just let me know what your pets needs to be cared for and to feel loved and we will go from there!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes big and small. My aunt would go on vacations and leave me with the dogs. I’m good with high energy dogs and calm dogs. I would also love to take pictures of your animal to send during my time with them! I work night shift so I go in about 3pm and all morning I would be available to take care of dogs which would work for a lot of people considering they work during the day I have a big back yard that I could take them on a walk around if need be, my bathtub is pretty decent size if baths are needed. I would follow any list of instructions needed. If I were to go into someone else’s home I would leave things just as they are and make sure the pet is comfortable and content to the owners likes and needs
About: Growing up in the country, I’ve had years with our dogs, cats and many other animals! Raising and wrangling 3 puppies from the shelter, we had them all 13 years. We had cats from birth to grave, and cared for them inside, outside and in the barn! I love to care for your pups and kitties, now that I don’t have any of my own. I keep our home and little one alive and well, and love to add a dog to our daily walks! I’m flexible during the morning+afternoon, and available some Saturdays as well. Although we don’t have space for our own pup right now, I love to come make sure your pups are well taken care of! I’d love to help, whether it’s just a check in and friendly pat, or a walk and belly rub!
About: I worked at Summit Pet Care for four years. I worked in the daycare, front desk, and kennels department. I have made valuable relationships with several clients. For those clients I have pet sat for them while they have been out of town. I have also walked many of their pups during a busy for them. I work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and the rest of the week make time to exercise my own dog. Along with getting online classes done for UCM.. I care for my pets by always getting them with a clam but happy energy. First thing I always do with any pup is take them outside making sure there are no accidents in the home. If I am just meeting the pup I always allow them time to get used to me and make sure I am a loving person.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Austin. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers 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 walker.
