About: I’m a reliable, detail-oriented dog lover based in Bastrop. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide consistent, dependable care for your pets throughout the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I also have experience caring for older dogs, which has taught me the importance of patience and adjusting walks to each dog’s pace—whether they need a slow, relaxed stroll or a bit more activity. I’d love to meet you and your pup—feel free to reach out with any questions! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks and drop-in visits Friday through Monday. I love being able to step away during the day to care for pets and make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. On my days off, I enjoy exploring with my husband and our dog, so I understand how important it is for pets to stay active, happy, and loved. I’m When I visit your home, my goal is to keep your pet comfortable and on their normal routine. I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and exercise they need during each visit. I’m respectful of your home, making sure everything is left clean and secure, and I always double-check doors and gates before leaving. I am also willing to send updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. All in all I aim to treat you home and pets with the same love and respect I would my own!
“Kyle was amazing! He provided drop ins for my 3 dogs while I was out of town with only a few days notice. He was willing to stop by for a meet and greet a few days before I left so I was able to walk through their routine with him. He also sent several pictures of my dogs during his check ins. Honestly, some of the best pictures I have of them and they always looked so happy in each of them. Will definitely be booking again.”
About: Howdy! I’m a 3rd generation Austinite. 6th gen. Texan. I already have much experience working with clients. I have worked for WAG! in Austin, TX. I have two older boys in the Colorado River Collegiate College in Bastrop. I now live and run Rumfield Electric LLC with my husband in Bastrop. We are members of The Bastrop Chamber of Commerce. I have 20 years experience with owning my own dogs (2 Pit Bulls & Chihuahua) and have a couple of years work experience at a pet store in Austin caring for fresh and salt water fish, rabbits, rats, and lizards. I also have years of experience with exotic birds, farm ducks, and chickens. I own 2 pit bulls and lab Rot mix. I am a Certified and Registered Pharmacy Tech with the State of Texas with pet med knowledge. My ultimate goal is to help stop dog homelessness. I work part-time for my husband’s electrical company. I'm available everyday except Sunday mornings until 1p. I love to run with your dog if that's what they need. I can feed, replenish water, clean bowls, and give treats or even baths by request. Brush your dog's coat and teeth. Wash and dry beds or towels. Give pet meds. Do some light shopping for the dog or you! Vet trips if needed. I'm basically looking for long time clients. I pay close attention to detail and strive to follow any requests and directions with complete care. I’m always in communication with my clients and I am available for my clients to reach me day or night.
About: Growing up in the country, I have grown up with all sorts of animals (dogs, cat, rabbit, cows, longhorns). However, dogs have been the animal with me throughout my entire life. We got our first family dog when I was 6 and have had 3-10 dogs at a time since then! Needless to say, I'm definitely a dog person. I have experience feeding, walking, and washing dogs, and can do some basic self-taught training (sitting, down, shake). I also have house-sat and pet-sit for some family friends' and my friends' parents on several occasions. My house is full of animal love. I have a 3-year-old Plott hound mix (named Nova), a 4-year-old German Shepard (named Goose), and a 8 month old cat (named Ary). They all have their own special quirks, but are so funny and love running and playing! Nova is very food motivated and loves to run in circles and play in water, Goose is very toy motivated and could play frisbee for hours without a break if we let him, and Ary is the definition of a "lap cat" but loves being our pest control when she see an bug. I hope you give me the chance to give your fur babies some extra love and attention! I'm a full-time social worker! I can provide overnight visits whenever, but walking and drop-ins are only available on weekends and then during school scheduled breaks (my availability will reflect it)! In my home, one of my dogs is crated due to her liking to get in the trash. So, I am easily able to crate your dog if necessary and of course feed, water, play, and walk them as needed! Also, more than willing to send you pictures of your dogs throughout the visit if that's something you want :)
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.
“As always, I feel so confident that my kitty is taken care of when Kaleigh is around! She sends super detailed updates and I can truly relax on vacation. Highly recommend her for your next sitting!”
“Brenda was the best!! She sent me photos of every visit and details about my dog's status... I couldn't have asked for anything more than what she provided. Brenda took great care of the most important thing to me!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m patient, gentle, and treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I already plan my days around feeding, walking, and checking on animals. I make time in the morning, afternoon, and evening for potty breaks, walks, playtime, and updates for owners. I stay organized so every pet gets attention and care throughout the day. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean space, fresh water, regular meals, and lots of attention. I follow the owner’s rules for feeding schedules, crate time, or training. In a client’s home, I keep their pet in their normal routine. I walk them, give them food and water, play with them, and send updates so owners know their pet is safe and happy.
About: I have been pet sitting for friends for 10 years now. I love to spoil your babies, and treat them like my own family. My grandpup enjoys home made treats and pup ice cream. I have taken care of several animals over the years, including horses, cows, chickens, dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pigs. I am looking forward to being a Foster Mom to some Bassett hounds in the near future. I am comfortable giving medication to your dog or cat, I was a paramedic for 25 years, so I am comfortable giving injections and IV's. I have had older dogs with special needs, so know how to care for your family member. I have references available upon request. Let me know when I get to meet a new friend. Your fur babies are safe with me.
About: I've taken care of many animals in the course of years. From guinea pigs to cats and dogs to fishes and farm animals. I love animals and love learning about them. I work a flex schedule at a warehouse where I can plan my own schedule, rest assured I can work around different schedules to make sure to take care of the pets and have them as higher priority I have many pets at home. I have cats, dogs and chickens. If your pet isn't keen to being around other animals I will keep them indoors with me and take them out on a leash for the bathroom or to walk around away from the other animals. Your pets are the priority, I can care for them from early in the morning to late in the day and do overnight stays
About: I reside in South West Austin. My experience includes puppies, adult and senior dogs. I have experience with giving medication, resource guarding, food aggression, and reactive dogs. I also have experience with cats as well through my own two. I’m currently working remote so plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am completely open on weekends and weekdays. I prefer to do house sitting or boarding. I like to maintain an active lifestyle which includes plenty of walking and playing. I do not have a fenced yard so if boarding, I will need to walk your dog. I am right by a huge park so plenty of room to roam and sniff! I have a large livingroom so if crating is needed then no problem! I personally prefer against crating unless absolutely necessary. I like to treat them as if they are my own pet! Lot’s of cuddles and access to the couch and bed. I send plenty of updates and photos for each day.
“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!!”
About: I’ve always had animals from a young age from small bunnies to big horses. We have an excellent relationship with Welch Veterinary Clinic and Hartland Grooming if you want us to take your dog for a doggy spa day. Hi! I’m a 17yo in high school and love animals! I’m wanting to start a career in animal rehabilitation so I love taking care of new animals! I go to school though out the week, but my mom works from home so she plays with them during the day! If I go to your house I can go up to three times a day in between school and sports. We live on a farm, we have four friendly dogs for playmates. We take the dogs on walks on the back roads, lots of playtime, and snuggles at night. We have a small crate for small dogs, and a small room area for big dogs and also a fenced in yard and outdoor kennel.

Jessica is truly the best cat sitter we could ask for. She consistently goes above and beyond every single time she cares for our cats. Not only does she make sure they are fed, comfortable, and well taken care of, but she also pays attention to all the little details that give us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She sends thoughtful updates, keeps us in the loop, and treats our home with so much care and respect. She’s even helped with things like bringing in packages and checking on things around the house, which means so much when you’re traveling. Our cats are very different personalities, and she handles both of them so patiently and lovingly—it’s clear she genuinely cares. Knowing they’re in her hands allows us to fully relax when we’re gone. We trust Jessica completely and feel so lucky to have found her. Highly, highly recommend!
A True Lifesaver We are beyond grateful for Sarah. She stepped in with less than 12 hours’ notice during a true family emergency and absolutely saved us. We live out of state, and our senior citizen parents were in a horrible car accident during Thanksgiving. They suddenly couldn’t care for their 25+ pets, cats, turtles, and fish, and we couldn’t get to them right away. Sarah immediately stepped up and took care of every single animal with so much kindness and thoroughness. She made sure everyone was fed, cleaned, and cared for, and she communicated with us the whole time so we had complete peace of mind. She even offered to bring food over for my father-in-law, who is still on bed rest while his wife remains in the hospital. Her compassion truly went above and beyond anything we expected. Sarah is an absolute angel to our family. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals mean more than we can express. We 100% recommend her and are forever grateful for her help during one of the hardest moments of our lives.

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.

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 .

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.
