About: With 10+ years of caring for my own pets plus family and friends’ dogs, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love for every pup. I’m committed to giving dogs the movement, enrichment, and happy walks they deserve when their owners can’t be there. My schedule is very open right now, which gives me a lot of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care whenever needed. In my clients’ homes, I always follow their routines, preferences, and house rules. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable and cared for while I’m a guest in their space.
“Thank you so much Aryanna for the meet and greet, the walk, the wonderful details and for taking the best care of our Sammie! So happy to have someone so competent watch her. We can’t wait to book you again and we really appreciate you! MANY THANKS!”
“While I was away at work I had Dulce walk my two pups every morning and my wife had nothing but great things to say about her. She was on time everyday, gave us updates through photos, was very sweet, and great with our dogs. Highly recommend Dulce for any and all Rover services!”
“Madeline was so prompt and thoughtful in her care for Cooper! The detailed walk recaps and photos mean so much to me when I’m stuck at work away from home. I will absolutely re-book.”
About: Hi! My name is Sarah, and I am recent grad looking for great ways to pay off my student loans ASAP. I've been caring for animals from as young as two years old growing up on my family farm. I've had dogs, cats, and rabbits as pets through childhood and into adulthood. I take great pride in my animal care, and care for others' animals as if they were my own. I love taking dogs on hiking adventures, and I love playing games with cats. With award-winning head-scratches, I easily win over the shyest of animals, and have not yet met a creature that did not like me. I am a songwriter who mainly works from home and takes lots of walks to engage in nature- your dog would be a welcome addition to my routine! I’m ~that kind~ of neurodivergent.. I am adept at reading animals, and I always treat them with kindness and respect. Cool in crisis, I am an excellent person to have around your pet in a worst case scenario.
“Allison was great! She was able to accommodate my request in such short notice and my girl was able to have her walk and company while I was away for the day.”
About: Hi! My girlfriend and I are dedicated and experienced Rover sitters with a true passion for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve spent years caring for pets through Rover and beyond, building a strong reputation for reliability, attentiveness, and creating a safe, fun environment for every dog I watch. One thing that makes my care unique is that my partner and I work together as a team. With both of us present, your dog gets double the attention, supervision, and playtime. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just keeping your pup company, we make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and loved at all times. I have experience with: • High-energy dogs that need lots of activity • Senior dogs requiring extra patience and care • Maintaining routines (feeding schedules, medications, etc.) We treat every dog like family and focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication while you’re away so you always know your pet is in good hands. If you’re looking for dependable, attentive care with plenty of love and playtime, we’d be happy to help! I like to take the pups to zilker or just spend time with them at home. Don’t mind going on walks if it’s a nice day out. I make sure to play with them, feed them routinely and take them on walks. Open to any other suggestions if needed of course. Thanks
About: I’m new to Rover but not new to pet care! My family has always had cats and dogs so I’m always happy and comfortable around animals. I’m very patient, calm and attentive. My cat was very sick when I first got him but his symptoms were very subtle, the vet said had I not been so adamant about getting him checked multiple times, he probably would not have made it. I love all animals and would bring that level of attention to any fur baby that I sit for. I know that each animal requires specific care and is unique in personality and I am happy to work within whatever sitting style would make your pet comfortable and happy. I am trusted sitter for friends and family and would treat your pet with the care and love that I would treat my own. I just graduated with my masters at UT Austin so I currently have a very open schedule! I drive and would be happy to come by whenever you need. I think that it’s really important for your pet to have the care that you think is best. Whatever your routine or situation I’m happy to accommodate to keep your pet on schedule. For example, I am very particular about how I take care of my own cat in my home. He has an automatic feeder and a water fountain so that he is always fed on time and has enough water throughout the day. Each night I play fetch with him for at least 15 minutes to get his energy out before bed. At night time he sleeps next to me the whole time. This is what works for us but everyone’s situation looks different. If you give me a step by step of how your pet likes to be cared for I can assure you I will do exactly that :)
“Jennifer was amazing! Great communication, always on time, and gave my dog long, quality walks. I felt completely comfortable and trusted her the whole time. I would definitely book her again!”
“Our boy loves walks with Lillian! We’ve been regulars with Lillian for a few months now. She is dependable, responsive, and flexible if plans change or we need coverage. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”
“Alfred loves his long walks with David. He comes back ready for a long nap. Alfred can pull on the leash sometimes but David handles it really well. We appreciate his care and patience with Alfred.”
About: Animals are my absolute passion!! I am the person who cries during movies whenever an animal is on screen; because I love them so deeply. I grew up raising dogs from puppyhood into their senior years, and I even cared for a flock of chickens for four years. I have a big family with many siblings, so I am used to taking care of everyone’s dogs! Because of these things, I am deeply in tune with animal behaviors and body language. Professionally, I work part-time as a Medical Assistant. This background means I am naturally detail-oriented, calm in emergencies, and highly observant. I have extensive experience sitting many different breeds, including managing up to 6 dogs at once in one house. Whether your pup is a high-energy puppy or a sweet senior needing gentle care, they will be safe and loved with me! I work part-time as a Medical Assistant on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. This leaves my week perfectly open for pet care. I am available all day Mondays, Fridays, and weekends for dedicated house sitting, long walks, and fun adventures. On my work days (Tue/Wed/Thu), I can still accommodate early morning or evening drop-ins and potty breaks. Caring for pets fits seamlessly into my life because it is truly my favorite way to spend my free time! Safety and trust are my top priorities. Since I do not offer boarding in my own home, my entire focus is on keeping your pet safe and happy in their own familiar environment. In Your Home: I strictly follow your routines for feeding, medication, and potty breaks. My medical background makes me hyper-vigilant about safety. I always scan for hazards, ensure doors are secure, and monitor your pet's health and energy. And, you will get plenty of photo updates!! On Walks: I use secure leashes and stay alert to our surroundings to avoid unpredictable interactions with other dogs or traffic. Multi-Pet Care: My experience managing up to 6 dogs at once ensures I can keep a calm, structured, and peaceful environment for households with multiple pets.
“I would highly recommend Milla. She is very kind, available, and communicates great. Our dog Chewie loves her and we will definitely be using her for all of our pet sitting needs.”
“Lainey warmed up to Ally right away like they’d known each other for years. Can definitely tell she has a way with dogs (esp Golden Retrievers are her favorite she said). Ally was very friendly and communicated well. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!!!”

Allie was really incredible. She was very patient with my anxious pup, and available to accommodate me the day of when another sitter fell through. I’m very grateful for her detailed notes, as I left knowing my little guy was in good hands. I would love to work with her again. Thank you so much Allie!
Connelley was so sweet and caring to Buck! Buck is very stubborn and likes to escape for attention so it was so nice to have someone so trustworthy and someone who paid attention to details/instructions so thoughtfully! I would absolutely recommend Connelley to anyone and everyone!
As usual, Brandi went above and beyond with Stevie Ray. She took him to a new park today where he got to explore and interact with other dogs. We didn’t ask her to deviate from his normal route, she just took him on an adventure which we so appreciate!!! I can’t say enough great things about Brandi!!! Stevie Ray just loves her and is always so happy to see her.
Ollie absolutely loves his walks with Madison; he gets so excited when she arrives. Madison is reliable, communicative, and clearly a true dog person. Ollie has some leash reactivity challenges, and I really appreciate the care and attention she takes to keep him engaged, set him up for success, and avoid situations that might trigger a reaction. It’s obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and tailors her approach to their individual needs. Don’t overthink it; book a walk with Madison! 🐾
It only took a couple of minutes at the start of the pre-engagement meeting and for it to become clear to me that Zach is an excellent experienced dog handler. My own experience with dogs includes training Australian Shepherds for sheep herding competitions and I have qualified for national competition twice. My yardstick for rating a dog handler has a correspondingly higher bar. So along with my complement was that quick understanding that I didn’t need to know anything else and that my dog was is as safe hands as she could be in. People simply don’t reach Zach’s level of engaging with dogs without also demonstrating to the dog that the dog is in anything other than very safe hands and that doesn’t happen if it’s not actually true. So with my and the dog’s approval, Zach was hired and lived up to both mine and the dog’s expectations. No problem.
5 stars! David was stellar. This was first time using both the Rover app and a dog walker. My dog(who is normally energetic)was nervous and apprehensive being walked by someone other than me, and David did an amazing job being both patient and encouraging during their first walk. For the next five days while I was gone David, arrived on time and was communicative every day. I plan to continue to use his services and highly recommend others do as well.
Laura was friendly, kind, and incredibly patient during her first meeting with our dog. She gave our pup the time and space to acclimate at her own pace, which we really appreciated. Laura also provided thoughtful guidance as we begin establishing care with her as our walker. It’s clear she truly loves dogs, and we’re excited to continue building a strong, trusting relationship with her and our new pup. Thank you again, Laura!
