About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Granite Shoals near Marble Falls, and I’m happy to travel within an hour of the Austin area to care for your pup. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly believe they’re family—not just pets. I currently share my home with Josie, my sweet 10-year-old Pug, and Bella, my energetic 2-year-old rescue Pit mix. Having dogs at very different life stages has given me experience with everything from senior care and slower-paced walks to playful energy and enrichment. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends care for their dogs—whether that meant walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their humans were away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy trail walks and neighborhood strolls, always tailoring activity levels to each dog’s needs, age, and personality. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! My full time job is mostly remotely, which gives me the flexibility to plan my day around a pet’s needs. This allows me to provide regular walks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure secure environments and safe walks, and treat both pets and homes with care and respect.
“Hilary kept in communication with me up to the days she stayed overnight with my three dogs. She made sure she understood my expectations and sent pictures the pups daily. I will use her services again and highly recommend her services.”

“Makaelah did a great job with our dog Luna. Luna can be apprehensive to new people at first and she went above and beyond to make my dog comfortable. Also she updated me on how things were going which I really appreciated while we were on vacation. We will book her again for our next vacation.”

“Ashley was amazing with our animals. They loved her and did better with her than they have in the past with other people. She sent us so many pictures while we were away which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely be rebooking with Ashley anytime we are out of town!”

“We booked Kayla on very short notice to house/pet sit for us for eight days while we were on vacation. Kayla was very responsive and professional from the first interaction. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. It was clear that Charley had taken to her very well, which has not always been the case with pet sitters. We arrived home to a well-kept house and a happy pet. We highly recommend Kayla and will call her first the next time Charley needs someone to keep her company.”

About: I started as a little kid taking care of my family dogs.As I got older I watched my grandparents dogs over night.Now I have dog name Summer "Animals aren't just a job for me – they're my entire world! Every day is an adventure filled with wagging tails, purring companions, and the joy of understanding what makes our furry friends tick. My home is often buzzing with happy pets, and I truly believe that living alongside them teaches us so much. This daily immersion in the world of pets means I bring not just experience, but a deep, personal understanding and endless patience to every animal I care for." "When I'm caring for your pets in your home, their safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. I'm meticulous about following your specific instructions, maintaining routines, and ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for your furry family members. You can trust me to treat your home with the utmost respect and to provide vigilant, loving care so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away."
“Cathy was awesome! We had a last minute booking where we needed someone to watch our two big pups, Nigel & Charlie and they loved her. She was awesome and provided so many photos in updates!”


“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”

“So happy Erin was available to watch my babies! She is patient and kind . My dogs can behave like gangsters when they are around someone new. Erin won them over and they have made a new friend. I’m grateful she was here for us.”

“Absolutely outstanding experience! Kate cared for our dogs and cat and also watched our home, and she exceeded expectations in every way. Communication was excellent from start to finish, with thoughtful updates and daily photos that gave us total peace of mind. Our pets were clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for. On top of that, she left our home spotless, which was such a great surprise to come back to. It genuinely felt like our home and pets were treated with the same care and attention she would give her own. If you are even considering hiring Kate, do it immediately! We will absolutely book Kate again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter.”

“Needed a last minute booking and Jaymi saved the day! 1000% would recommend to care for your fur babies! Didn’t have to worry one time, & my picky fur kids were as happy as a kid in a pool! Thank you sooo much J!”

About: I've been working as a dog groomer for the past two years, but had to pause that to focus on my health. I've volunteered walking dogs in animal shelters, and as a child mucked horse barns and brushed/washed horses in exchange for riding lessons. 😂 I've loved animals my entire life. I was raised in a family of 2-6 dogs (it increased frequently) and will admit only here that I loved them more than I loved my sister! I'm currently coming out of treatment and unemployed, so I have plenty of time to watch your furry friends! My only obligations are a weekly monday appointment and a biweekly friday appointment. I have a very nice, soft voice for any frightened pups, and am told I'm a bit of an animal whisperer. I will do my very best to connect with your animals and individualize my care in any way I can!
“Payton was amazing! She took such great care of our Rocky and just our home generally while we were gone over Christmas. Highly recommend Payton and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”

“Sherri was amazing! She went above and beyond for the week we needed her! One of our pups is delicate and needed extra care. She took such good care of them both. Even made bone broth for them which they love! She had visits with my mother who is 91 and also lives on the property. This was nice for mom to know someone was there if she needed help. We received frequent messages and pictures of the pups. We came home to a spotless house and two very happy dogs. I highly recommend Sherri to pet sit. She even fed the fish! She is a good person and will love your pets well. You will not have a worry.”

About: I was raised in a farming community and have cared for all types of livestock and pets. Dogs and cats have always been a part of our family and home. I have an array of pet skills caring for the puppy/kitten stage to the senior stage of a pet’s life. I’m an empty nester and retired educator who misses the opportunity to nurture and provide care. My schedule is extremely flexible and I enjoy interacting with the great outdoors. I would love to incorporate pets into my daily routine of physical activities and exercise. I enjoy socializing with pets by providing care while their owners are away. I care for my pets as my children. Believe pets need to feel secure knowing their human provides affection, respect, nurturing, nutrition, engagement and physical activity.
About: I have worked with animals my whole life from cattle horses sheep to dogs. I seem to have more in common with animals than I do humans. I know how to take care of your best friend and their needs. I don’t mind walking dogs that need training would do one on one session with them. Will only walk 2 dogs at atone so they can have their own space. I set at home most of the day until 2:55 My dog would love a play date she gets along with all dogs so they won’t be lonely. Trying to make some extra income! New to rover so bare with me please. If you would like to do a meet and greet before hand I am ok with that to!

Cathy is amazing! We went on vacation and we feel our lab had a staycation with Cathy!! Cathy was dependable, communicated and sent lots of photos.
