About: I grew up with two dogs and a cat and have always loved petsitting for all my friends and family. I love going on long walks and can flex to your schedule. I work fully remote so I can either stop by in the morning, during lunch and evenings, or work from your home if you’d like. I take my responsibility as a pet sitter very seriously and will make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as best I can. I will make sure they are loved and well taken care of!
“Parker was absolutely amazing, I will be using his services moving forward. He was communicative, empathetic towards my dogs anxiety, and went above and beyond to also give them food and water. My one dog has crate anxiety and Parker was patient with helping him in and out of the crate - really helpful :)”
“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”
“Kirren has been giving our dog regular walks during the week and has been great! She is reliable and communicative and includes great photos in her walk reports”
“Caroline has been so helpful walking our two dogs while we are at work. They seem to be happier when we get home on days that Caroline stopped by the house. Thank you; would recommend and will use again!”
“Ashlynn is amazing! She’s been taking Ford on walks 3-5 days a week the past couple of months. She’s always on time, quick to reply and sends daily updates. We are lucky to have her help, since we have to work in the office. We can tell she cares and loves for him, which is all you can ask for!!”
“Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!”
About: I have lived with dogs and cats since 2016. I would care for my roommates pets when they would go out of town or just during the day. I currently have a 8 year old cat. Would love to add more dogs to my life! I work from home so I can take a break anytime m-f to walk your dog. also have availability on the weekends. I am looking for something local. I unfortunately cannot bring any dogs over to my house because I have a cat but I can watch them at their house and of course take them to the park or just on walks.
“This was my first time booking a service on rover and Juliette made sure everything went smoothly! She sent me tons of pictures and videos throughout the entire walk. She will now be my go-to for any future bookings I may have for my Raisin Cavapoo. Thank you so much again!”
About: I have a deep love and special connection with animals of all kinds, that started with the dogs and cats of my childhood. I will make friends with your pets quickly, and always ensure their utmost happiness.I am keen on attention to details and perseverance in the face of challenges. I am currently picking up gig work while in between industries. I have reliable transportation and a very open schedule. I am available to work consistently in Bastrop, Travis, and Caldwell counties. I can do shorter term work in Bexar and Hays counties. I am happy to maintain the comfortable and perfect situation you already have set up for your pets. I am careful to follow all rules you have in place.
About: I’ve had dogs in my family since I was a baby. When my sister first adopted a 3 month old puppy, I would watch him at least once a week. My local friends rely on me to walk, feed, and check in on their pets regularly. I have taken care of puppies, elderly dogs, and injured dogs. I work a hybrid job where I work from home 3 out of 5 days a week, so I will be around a lot! I can easily take a short break to take your dog out for a walk/potty break or a play break. I live on the first floor, with easy access to multiple outdoor areas. I do not have a crate in my own home, but it is essentially “puppy proofed”. At your home, I will offer your dog an experience that makes them feel like you’ve never left home. :)
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages for about 10 years. I have experience taking care of puppies, disabled dogs, and pets that have medications needs. Whether your pet is high energy or low energy, I’m happy to take care of your furry baby! :) I work part time as a lab assistant and my schedule fluctuates week to week. I will do my best to ensure my calendar matches my availability, but to be sure please message me before booking. :) I am unable to bring pets into my home at this time. I am happy to discuss house rules and expectations when caring for your pet. I’m here to help and make sure your pet feels safe!
About: Dogs have always been an extension of my family. I’ve had them my whole life and currently care for my 18-year-old chihuahua mix rescue, so I’m especially mindful of senior needs and giving pets the patience and love they deserve. I work from home, live in a pet-friendly apartment with a dog park on-site, and I’m just a stroll away from dog-friendly cafes and parks, perfect for pups who love fresh air and social time. Whether your dog needs play, snuggles, or a little extra attention, I’m here for it all. Pet care is part of my everyday life; it’s second nature. Since I work from home, I build my day around walks, outdoor breaks, meals, and quality time with my senior pup. I’m used to working with a pet nearby and love having that companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I’ve got the flexibility to give pets the attention they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In my home, pets are welcome on the furniture, dog fur doesn’t scare me one bit. I have a cozy space, an on-site dog park, and the flexibility to give them plenty of attention since I work remotely. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable, sticking to familiar routines to reduce any stress.
About: I’ve cared for farms with 6 horses, a dog and 6 cats as well as family homes with 4 dogs, 2 cats, 3 birds and a fish. Whatever the size and diversity of the family I’ve had experience. I’m a freelance writer and eccommerce store owner. Since I work from home I have the ability to earn extra money house sitting and be apart of society here. I let dogs out every time I go to the bathroom which is every 2 to 4 hours unless they request otherwise. For cats I check the liter box at every meal and clean as necessary(if it’s been used). My own pets get breakfast and dinner but if the owner has a different schedule I’m happy to adhere.

Gia F.
“Gia is the best pet sitter. As event planners, we have met many pet sitters, but she is by far the best. She has watched our senior fur baby multiple times while on vacation, and he seems so happy when we return each time. Also, our house is spotless upon arrival. We have since moved out of Austin, but we wish we could have kept her as our official sitter for years to come.”

Becca M.
“Becca has watched my dog for almost 5 years. My dog was a little pistol when he was a puppy and Becca had the upmost patience with him and helped with training a ton. About a year ago my dog (who is 90 pounds) tore both CCL’s and had bilateral knee surgery. I don’t know what we would have done if Becca wasn’t there to help us. Her patience with him continued while he was healing and she gave him the greatest care and compassion we could ever ask for. She helped assist with physical therapy exercises and giving medications as well. Becca is truly one of a kind and amazing with dogs. We can always count on her!”
Morgan D.
“I have known Morgan to be a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She has taken care of many of our friends' pets, cats and dog both, and they have consistently come back to her because they know and appreciate her attention to detail and ensuring a pet's best interest. I would trust her with any pet without hesitation”

“Ceci did a great job walking Ollie. Thank you!”
Annie W.
“Annie was great! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and taken care of.”
Sarah P.
“Sarah took such wonderful care of my senior dog, Ocho. From the moment they met, her gentle and nurturing energy made him feel completely at ease. She was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, always paying close attention to his needs and routines. It’s not easy leaving your pet with someone else, especially a senior dog, but I felt so confident knowing he was in such caring hands. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and detail-oriented pet caregiver!”
