“Stephanie walked my dog on a last minute request which I really appreciate. She was great with him and even gave him a treat after his walk. Would recommend her for your pet needs!”
“I was incredibly nervous about leaving my two dogs in the care of someone else, as one of them has lots of anxiety issues and can be reactive with people and other dogs. But Dale did incredible and had no issues. He was super patient with my reactive dog and was super mindful about all my concerns. I was so so anxious and left a whole essay of information/instructions he needed to know and he made sure to keep all of that in mind. I will definitely keep him in mind for future sitter needs.”
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 have worked in the pet industry for 16+ years. I have worked as a tech assistant, kennel worker, dog walker and caretaker in 2 veterinary practices. I have owned an operated a small dog grooming business. I have boarded many of my clients dogs in my residence. I am reliable, trustworthy, kind, compassionate and funny. I have a little Yorkie that is truly my heart! I adore him and could not imagine life without him. I LOVE dogs! I always treat any dog that is in my care as if they were my own. They are a part of the family and I can assure you that this is how they will be treated in my care. I consider it an honor to be able to take care of doggies.
“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!”
About: I’ve personally taken care of dogs and cats for over the last 15 years and currently have my own pup! I have never met a dog I didn’t immediately love and my partner calls me a dog whisperer because of how great I can bond with them. I currently work full time at Dirty Dog - Grooming and Boarding so my schedule is very fluid and I’m often available during the day on weekdays as well as weekends. My partner also works from home so there is always an extra set of helping hands when needed! In my time off, I enjoy reading, paddle boarding on the lake, practicing yoga, and a new hobby of mine - rock painting! I would love to add taking care of other people’s fur babies to my list of activities (: In my own home, my dog and dogs I’m sitting will get frequent walks and visits to the local dog park. We also have plenty of space and toys for animals to enjoy themselves inside my home. In terms of trust, I will always follow a pets lead when it comes to how they’re feeling and what their needs are. Making sure an animal feels comfortable and safe will always be top priority.
About: I’m Jacob, a full time nurse, looking for a side hustle to help pay off my student loans :) If you trust me with your pet(s) I will make them my top priority. I will shower them with attention, and take lots of pictures to update you with about our day. I work 3 days a week. I have plenty of free time during the week for your pet’s needs. It would be such a fulfilling past time for me to care for your animals. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other animals. There’s a good amount of space. Quick and easy walk to the trail around lady bird lake.
“Andrew is GREAT! Goes above and beyond, and even spent some additional time with Wallace beyond what I asked. At one point he brought some toys over! Will absolutely use this excellent dogwaller again”
“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: I have had dogs and cats all my life (also fish, hamsters, mice, and a hedgehog). From puppies and kittens to elderly chihuahuas and grouchy senior cats, I have handled it all. I routinely care for pets for my friends and family and am happy to care for your babies too. I'm recently retired so I have a lot of time on my hands! I'm happy to administer medication or cater to your pet in whatever ways they need. I recently retired from my full-time job and will be mostly at home doing a little contract work here and there. I already care for my own five pets (or six if you count the fish) and can easily add yours to the mix. I will listen to what your pet needs and accommodate whatever it is they need/want. I am used to dealing with a diverse group of pets and providing each of them with what they need.
“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!”
About: I have 30 years of experience with dogs & cats at all stages of life, from birth into their teen years. I have 5 years of experience administering topical & oral medication daily to cats, & dogs. As an examples: My late pup Ezri became epileptic at 11 and I spent her next 3 years providing 2x daily medication and additional care while helping her relearn to walk. Elderly dogs have a special place in my heart. I made special food from scratch for my 12 year old greyhound mix who had oral issues. I had my cat Zeus from the day he was born, he lived 18 years & was on medicated for the last few years. I do hybrid remote work making it easy to travel, work wherever, & care for animals even if they may need more interaction or care. I love to go to the farmer's market and parks on the weekends which are can only be made better with a furry friend. I often sit for people with pets and plants that need tending. I check mail when needed, ensure the pets (and plants, when needed) have all their needs met. I can currently lift and carry ~65lb and am pretty handy also so if there's an emergency, trust that I can and will keep your babies safe.
About: My entire childhood (and adulthood) I grew up with animals. Cats, dogs, turtles, ducks, geese, rabbits, you name it. I used to work at a doggy day care and in college I nannied for a big family with a few dogs. I personally have 2 cats myself. I love animals so much and truly wanted to start pet sitting because I just wanted to spend time with animals. I’m totally good with giving medicine, walks, park time, car time, whatever your baby needs. I’m here for it all! I’m in field sales so my schedule is super flexible! I make my own schedule so can fit in any time to see your babies! I drive all over town so can make anything work. I love to make sure your pet gets the care they need - so if that’s outside time for 20 minutes then we will do that. If it’s playing around for 20 minutes then we will do that or if they just want pets, of course we can do that. I currently live in an apartment so all visits would have to be in your home.
“Ashley is the best! She genuinely cares about our dog, and it’s such a relief to have a trustworthy person to take care of him when life gets in our way. We can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I've had experience taking care of pets since I was 11 years old when I got my first dog. With a very big family and lots of friends with pets, I have had many experiences taking care of pets, walking with them, playing, feeding them, and most importantly loving them. I love pets especially because I feel they are a human best friend. I don't have one at the moment but simply because I don't have much time because of work and studies, eventually I for sure will have one of my own. I am available mostly on the weekends (Friday / Saturday / Sunday) but I can work something out depending on what my work schedule is. I live in an apartment that has a very big gated dog park. In the apartment, dogs are allowed on the furniture so they can feel at home. I can work around your pet's feeding schedule and walking schedule.
About: Dependable and attentive sitter focused on keeping pets comfortable and routines consistent. I’m clean, communicative, and make sure everything runs smoothly while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and am trying to fill out more of my schedule! I have a lot of flexibility right now and want to take advantage of that to spend time petting some cute animals. I don’t offer boarding, but I prioritize a clean, safe, and calm environment when caring for pets in their home. I stick to routines and provide a steady, low-stress presence so pets feel comfortable.
About: I’ve cared for dogs of every breed, age, temperament, and healthcare needs since I was 10! I’m very comfortable providing special care for each dog’s needs. I have plenty of available time during the day to spend with your pup! I am flexible and open to requests via message. I’m happy to do long walks and overnight stays at my house. We have a cozy fenced in yard where your beloved baby can enjoy the sun, shade, and time with our small dog, Daisy! Shes very laid back, and loves other dogs.
“Katrina was wonderful! She responded quickly and was so kind during our meet-and-greet. Bucky felt immediately comfortable with her and even went right up to her for pets. She asked great questions, paid attention to every detail, and followed all instructions perfectly. Highly recommend!”
East Congress dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!
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.
Had a great experience with our Rover walker! Mariana was very communicative throughout, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated the whole time. Our dogs looked happy and well taken care of after each walk. Really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her to others!
