“Justin is always super flexible! He is reliable and always responds. Donny seriously loves his walks with Justin. The first time he ever walked him, it was raining down hard and I hadn’t been able to take Donny out. I didn’t think anyone would walk him in the rain but Justin showed up right on time and gave him a long walk. He has been such a life saver!”


“I can not express how thankful I am for Anastasia picking up my request last minute, SAME DAY, after another rover sitter no showed! She responded quickly and her communication was amazing. She did so well with my pup and I would highly recommend her. We will definitely be using her again! Reliability 10/10 Professionalism 10/10 Communication 10/10”


About: I’ve been taking care of my sister’s medium sized dog on and off for 4 years, since he was a puppy until now. I’ve also taken care of other pets for friends during college (cats, small dogs). I’m currently on a hybrid schedule meaning I go into the office Tuesday-Thursday from 11am-3:30pm. Apart from those hours, I am completely free to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge dog park 2 minutes walking away from my apartment, as well as a smaller fenced dog park with a nice yard just downstairs.

“Addie was the best! She was great with communications and I loved the updates & photos. She was always on time and so gentle & patient with our older dog. Ruby loved her morning visits & walk!”


“Brandy is amazing! I didn’t update my address on Rover and it sent her to my old spot and she still drove to my current address and walked him for me. I would 10/10 recommend her and will continue to use her services when needed. Thank you, Brandy, for taking such good care of my baby. 🥰”


“Erin is incredibly sweet and caring and has been a massive help with walking my dog Loki while I’m recovering from an injury. She goes above and beyond what I expected from a dog walker and Loki is always in a good mood after his walks. Very much appreciate everything Erin has done and highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to care for your pet.”


About: Leaving my dog Frida behind when I travel is the hardest thing. I understand the anxiety and fears involved in leaving your pup with a stranger. I will do everything to keep both of you at ease, sharing lots of pics and giving your fur baby lots of love. To guarantee undivided attention I only accept one dog at a time. They will be in the company of Frida a sweet mini blue heeler. I have a lot of experience with deaf dogs (Frida!), helped administer medication, and rehabbed mobility impaired dogs. I also volunteer in the Austin Animal Center and have experience walking and playing with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Please let me know your dog’s need and I can gladly accommodate. I work from home so very flexible with walks and regular belly rubs! I have a patio with turf grass and a great area to take your dog on fun and safe walks. In addition to Frida, Lucy, my wife’s very very very sweet pup will occasionally visit from Dallas.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including seniors and puppies. I understand the importance of routine, gentle handling, and making pets feel loved and secure when you're away. Whether it's a high-energy pup or a mellow senior, I adjust my care to meet their needs. Pet care fits perfectly into my summer routine since I’m currently a teacher on break. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they need throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or feeding, I can easily work around your pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe by sticking to their usual routines. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, or administering medication. I keep their space clean, provide lots of play and affection, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind while they're away.

“Kiley took care of my two labs walking them every day for two weeks until we came back from vacation. She is the best! Great with dogs, very attentive and extremely responsible.”


About: I have always had a deep love and empathy for all four legged furry friends. Not only have I had my own dog for eight years that I have raised since a puppy who I love with all my heart I have also over the years dogs sat for other friends and family members, whether that be in their own homes or having them stay in my home with my dog, Taylor. Furthermore I also have experience babysitting from a very young age. I have dealt with both infants, toddlers, and teenagers. There is sincerely nothing. I cannot handle when it comes to taking care of and the day-to-day responsibilities of being accountable for another life. I am currently working full-time, but I have a very flexible work schedule with three days off a week and 1 hour breaks where I would be able to take time to devote to dog sitting and care. My weekly routine already consist of walking trails in Austin so I would be more than capable to dog walk, especially early in the mornings due to the fact that I am an early bird. In my own home, for example I take care of my dog Taylor in any pets that I dog sit for by taking them for two walks a day keeping my thermostat no higher than 75 for their comfort. There is a park that is a five minute walk away from my house so I am always able to get, my dog outside for his daily activities. Also, there is a balcony at my apartment so I am also able to let the dogs out to be able to get fresh air and people watch.

About: I have cared for animals my entire life. My family has adopted and fostered multiple critters from single dogs recovering from surgery to a mama cat and her litter to a bearded dragon from a high school science class. I am the marketing coordinator at a local gym here in North Austin just looking to make some extra money on the side. I love animals and love to help out where owners need it. I enjoy cuddles and being active with pets. Throwing the ball around outback or teasing them with a feather stick. I am also great about any food prep needed or medication, etc.


About: I grew up with a dog for 16 years of my life and would absolutely love to help others take care of their animal best friends while they are not able to be with their parents.
