“We’re new to town, and it’s always a little nerve-racking finding someone new to watch your baby. I’m so grateful we found Woody to watch our dog Woody (meant to be, right!?) in our home. I’m a pretty nervous pet parent, but Woody made me feel totally at ease from the start and took such great care of our boy. The updates and photos were perfect, and I knew both Woody and our home were in great hands. Highly recommend, and we look forward to booking with Woody again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe (depending on their size), play with their fur babies. I have a relaxed environment for and am working from home so I have lots of time to take care of your pets. I'm available for boarding on weekends. I live in a house with a fenced deck and have pet friendly neighbors. I will make sure your fur baby is comfortable and that they always have food, water, snacks and favorite toys. I can also take your pet to the fenced private dog area in my neighborhood.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog lover with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I will be starting a part-time job on June 7th, but for now since I’m currently not working, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting—perfect for pets who do best staying in their own home and routine. I have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and daily care needs. I’m the kind of person who talks to dogs like they fully understand me (because… they do, right?), and I never say no to a good game of fetch or a cuddle session. Whether your pup is high-energy, a little shy, or somewhere in between, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed and always follow care instructions closely—details matter! I focus on caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with photos (probably too many, but no one’s ever complained) and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. While I am watching your fur family my babies will still be getting their needed attention from my boyfriend. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets—and yes, I will absolutely learn all their nicknames. I have tree big dogs myself, of various ages. My Boo Boo is getting old and I have Jerry who still is full of energy. While Stella has spurts of energy some days and other days she'd rather just snuggle. I am very cognoscente of what's around me when walking dogs. I am comfortable crating your baby and sleeping with them if needed & medicine.
“Easy last minute support and timely responses, Jeremy made me feel at ease and understood my concerns as a first time leaving my dog while away on travel.”

“Melondy was great! We booked this trip over a month ago and it unfortunately landed during the weekend of the winter storm and she was still very understanding. Our two gremlins were super happy when we returned and had a great time.”

About: I have experience with all furry pets. Dogs of all sizes and personality types. Lover of cats. I’m both a dog and cat mom. Don’t worry, my parents watch my fur babies while I’m caring for yours. I’m very flexible as I’m fully committed to being there for you and your fur babies. I’m available for both overnight stays and daily drop ins. I will watch your fur babies in your home according to your guidelines. I’m very flexible and can adapt. That means I can have them out or crate them depending on your wishes.
About: I’ve been walking dogs and Pet Sitting in Austin for the past year and I’ve gained a great amount of experience with a wide range of pets and their care takers. I love making new furry friends! I am a first grade teacher during the school year but I walk and pet sit during my breaks and weekends. I’m on summer break currently and have ample amounts of free time. I care for pets in my home and others home as if they were my own pets. I give them the utmost care, attention, kindness and love as I would if they were my fur baby and a friend.
Garfield pet parents share their Rover experiences
5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Outstanding Dog Walker and House Sitter! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lori! She recently took care of my 9-year-old dog, Khaleesi, and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve had with a dog walker. From the very beginning, Lori was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive to Khaleesi’s needs. It’s clear she has a natural connection with animals and genuinely loves what she does. She sent regular updates, adorable photos, and detailed notes after each visit, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, Khaleesi was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. I honestly think she misses Lori already! It’s rare to find someone who treats your dog like their own, but Lori did exactly that. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and experienced to care for your furry family member, look no further. Lori is an absolute gem, and Khaleesi and I are so grateful to have found her!
