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.
“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!”

“Laura was available to book about a week in advance, and was so thorough and knowledgeable. She was very reassuring and would always let me know everything was appropriately locked when she left. I came back to two happy dogs and I will definitely be using Laura again for my next trip.”

“Gil is a great dog walker! Very friendly and understanding of dogs. You can tell her really cares about your pet. I appreciate the updates he gives and the effort he puts in!! : )”

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.
“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.”


“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”

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’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: My name is Becky and I moved to Austin in 2018 from Miami. I grew up with indoor/outdoor cats and smaller dogs. I work a 8-4 Monday-Friday job but am available after 4:30pm anywhere in Austin and during the week and midday for South Austin visits/walks. I currently the proud parent of an orange tabby and regularly dog and cat sit. I love a chance to meet a new buddy. I am a quick drive to anywhere in Central Austin and work down south for an after work or lunch hour walk. Always looking for an excuse to go for a walk and I would love to show your fur baby around. Message me to see if I can care for your pet while away! - Becky I have a cat and regularly feed and clean litter box and exercise him. I love when I’m watching a dog to go out on a quick and then longer walk in the day. I like to give the animal the first time I meet them some space and let them approach me. I always want to make sure the animal knows I’m here as well for their socialization
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs, I even have one of my own now and potty trained him when he was a puppy. Since I have a cat and a dog, pet care fits into my schedule daily since I have to take care of them and I want to share ny live with other animals as well! I have a dog that I take on walks almost daily since I have a very open schedule. I also take him to the dog park and try to get him to interact with other dogs as well and I will play fetch with him also.
“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!”
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.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life and have a natural affinity for dogs. I I have two perfect pups, a chihuahua mix named Stevie that I call my familiar and a goofy cattle dog named Bowie. She has a blue eye and a brown eye and a heart of gold. They are a happy pack of sweethearts that love new furry friends. I am a very responsible person and when given the task of caring for another's loved one I take it very seriously. I think that dogs and owners will feel very comfortable and safe with me because of my experience and love for our canine counterparts. I also understand how hard it is to be away from our pets, so I’ll be in communication, keeping you updated with information, photos, and general updates of how your dog is doing in my care. I live close to Onion Creek Greenbelt and if your dogs stay with me and are happy on hikes it’s a daily outing for me and my pups. Happy to walk them on leash around my neighborhood and my dogs enjoy playing but are also happy to chill with their dog friends. I work on my own schedule and it’s very flexible at the moment. I spend time with my dogs outdoors everyday and am good at communicating my schedule changes. My dogs are friendly with dogs, cats, people, and kids. When dogs stay in my home I make sure that none of them are left with other dogs unsupervised even if all are friendly. My dogs are crate trained and that’s easy for me to accommodate for visiting dogs as well. When caring in your home I will follow the rules of the houses.
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.
“Marian was amazing; she was responsive and super easy to work with. I was in a pinch right before a holiday weekend and she really saved my long weekend. I came home to a happy dog and would definitely hire Marian again - thank you Marian!”

About: I grew up taking care and loving dogs! I grew up with 3 at home and now a beautiful one of my own. I am a very attendant caretaker. I will make sure they are being loved, fed, walked and never neglected! I have administered medicine and will do specific care for the needs of any pet. :) I currently work on my own schedule so I am very flexible with walking or taking care of your baby. My boyfriend also works from home half of the week, so there is always someone around! If not, we never leave for longer than 2 hours! We have a sole inside pet and yours would be too! We take him on walks around the neighborhood, and take him to the dog park inside our community. We will make sure your pet is comfy and happy. Whether they are crate trained, sofa sleepers or bed sleepers. We will allow whatever’s most comfortable!
About: I have years of experience caring for all types of dogs and truly love every moment of it. From playful pups to senior dogs, I’ve welcomed many into my home and treated them like family. I am currently working from home and I will be home with your pets almost all day! I have a fenced in yard, and love going on evening walks! Make sure they are played with, well fed, and sleep either in a dog bed/crate/or on the end of the bed if that’s what you prefer!

“Ashley has been in our lives, caring for my dog and cat (and me), for over a YEAR now! She is a gem and a loving Dog Mama herself. I appreciate that she understands my sweet, but often reactive, pup and has worked to boost her confidence on walks. She is enthusiastic, dependable, and flexible, even when the unforeseen Ice Storm kept changing the schedule. Basically, she just feels like a friend at this point - someone I implicitly trust! Our fam is very grateful.”

“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.”

Franklin Park 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!

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!

Great dog walker. Always reliable and shows up when needed. They’ve been walking Sharon since she was a baby puppy, so they’ve been part of her routine for a long time now. Consistent 30 minute walks and solid communication with regular updates. Really trustworthy and a huge help overall. Would definitely recommend.

John was wonderful with my dog. They were communicative, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease. I got updates, photos, and could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
