About: I’ve had dogs as part of my family my entire life and currently have a 5-year-old Goldendoodle of my own, so daily walks, routines, and lots of love are second nature to me. Being a dog mom means I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Safety is always my top priority. Whether we’re out on a walk or I’m visiting your home, I’m attentive, aware of our surroundings, and committed to making sure your dog feels secure and comfortable at all times. I carefully follow instructions and keep routines consistent so your dog feels at ease. More than anything, I want your dog to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home as a freelance Art Director, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and afternoon walks and drop in visits, and spending part of my day walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m new to Austin and excited to explore different neighborhoods on walks with your pup while keeping them active and happy. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your dog and enter your home. I’m attentive about securing doors, gates, and leashes, and I’m always aware of our surroundings on walks. I follow your dog’s routine closely so they feel comfortable and at ease, and I treat your home with the same care and respect as my own.

Isabella was very kind and dependable. She took the time to get to know our pup and her routines. She sent us lots of happy pictures and really made us feel like our house and doggo was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again the next time we have a need.

Kelly was the perfect sitter while we were out of town for an extended period of time. I’m not used to being away from my babies, but Kelly regularly sent detailed updates and lots of pictures, which made being away a bit easier. I would absolutely recommend Kelly to anyone needing someone to love on their animal(s) while they are busy/away!

About: Hi! I have a flexible schedule thanks to working remotely, which means I have plenty of time and attention to give your pup throughout the day. I’m available for house sitting and drop-in visits and am most comfortable with friendly, well-socialized dogs. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or simply a companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own pet. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I look forward to providing reliable, loving care and plenty of photo updates while you’re away! I just moved to Austin recently so I have a lot of free time. I am not currently working so my schedule is pretty open. I will take your pets safety extremely seriously whether I am visiting your home or hosting your fur baby at mine. I live in a very dog friendly community with lots of grass and walking area.

About: Active, caring, and dedicated to making pets feel safe, loved, and happy. Your pup will enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of attention tailored to their needs. I work full-time from home, which means I’m here to give plenty of attention to your pet throughout the day. I’m currently in the process of bringing my own dog from Brazil, so caring for other dogs has been a joyful and comforting experience while I wait for my furry best friend to join me. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and only care for one or two dogs at a time, whether boarding or providing day care, to ensure focused, responsible attention. I live in a ground-floor condo with a secure, fenced area for safe walks within the property.

We got so lucky finding Allie! I needed a last minute sitter and took to Rover to find one. Allie was so responsive and was able to set up a meet & greet that same day. Skye is usually anxious when meeting new people, but warmed up to Allie instantly - which is always a good sign for me. I was immediately put at ease and felt the trust established. Allie was on top of it and took such good care of Skye. It was so nice to receive such intentional Rover Cards with pictures of Skye every day. I would recommend Allie to anyone looking for a pet sitter in South Austin and will definitely be reaching out again!

Ive definitely had a bad experience with rover sitters before and almost deleted the app. Let me tell you, Christine turned it around for me, this is the second time using her and she’s amazing. Punctual, leaves details about her trip, and it puts my mind at ease. Plus my kitties love her!!! Could not recommend her enough!!
