“Ashley does an incredible job with my pup, Kona. I was a bit nervous about leaving her with someone else, but Ashley made me feel really comfortable and gave me a lot of updates! She also has been incredibly flexible with my crazy schedule and accommodating with Kona's preference to only be with smaller dogs. Thanks Ashley!”

“I had a wonderful experience. I showed up completely forgetting my pup’s belongings and didn’t get a chance to drive home to grab his stuff. They were very accommodating and helped me feel at ease with text updates and photos. When I picked up my pup his tail was wagging and I could tell he had a good time. Will definitely use their services again! Thanks again for everything !”

About: Hello! My name is JJ and I'm a trail runner that decided to combine the two things I love the most: exercise and animals. I have been providing pet care for dogs, cats and other household pets full-time for over 8 years in Austin now. I am currently providing pet care full-time during the week and often have weekend availability. As a pet parent and a user of Rover pet sitters myself, I know how important good communication and reliability is when you are away from your pet family. I prioritize responding promptly to all booking requests and communication throughout the duration of booked appointments. This includes happily answering questions, sending updates and pet pictures of each visit. For me, communication, transparency and trust are key to having a worry-free workday or trip away! PET CARE: *NEW* Now offering boarding and doggie daycare. My partner and I purchased a house in North Shoal Creek and can now host up to 4 dogs. My partner, Josh Cross, is a software developer and works from home, so visiting pets will always have a human companion while I am away on walks and check-ins. I offer check-ins for dogs, cats and other household pets, to give them food, water, bathroom breaks, clean litter boxes, etc. If there is ever a package or mail by the door, I always bring it inside, as well. WALKS: If your dog(s) just need a potty break and some exercise, I’m more than happy to go for 30-60 minute walks. I typically use my own waist leash, but I can use your leash, if preferred, and I have a tandem leash attachment to take two dogs for an outing together, if needed. RUNS: For dogs that like to run, I can jog at your dogs pace for 30-60 minutes. Slow or fast, with water breaks, walk breaks, and potty breaks. On hot days, I prioritize finding the shadiest routes in the area and run in the grass when possible. For running dogs, I prefer them to wear a body harness or gentle leader, if available. *I offer a limited number of dog runs per day depending on daily volume.* My love for animals comes from growing up with a family that spoiled inside pets of many species and sizes. I cherished my own chihuahua, Zeus, of 14 years. Nowadays, I share a big, sweet super-mutt named Ozzie with my partner, Josh. I currently have weekday availability during traditional work hours, but I also have some evenings and weekends available. I don’t prefer to book recurring weekly appointments on the weekends. I regularly keep my Rover calendar updated and list the dates I’m out of town in my profile, in case I don’t have reception on vacation, usually a camping trip. I prefer to use a waist leash, which is safer and more secure than holding a leash in my hand. Please supply waste bags and any treats you would like me to give to your pet.

About: Because your babies deserve more than just a place to stay, they deserve care that feels calm, consistent, and genuinely loving. 💕 ⠀ Hi, I’m Lisa! 🐾 I’m a retired, lifelong dog and cat lover offering calm, loving, one-on-one care in a peaceful, low-stress home. ⠀ After recently saying goodbye to my own beloved dogs, I’m ready to welcome pets back into my heart and home. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll care for your dog with the same love, attention, and tenderness I gave my own. ⠀ Your dog will receive personalized care based on their routine, personality, and energy level, and they’ll never be left alone for long periods. My goal is to help every dog feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. ⠀ A Typical Day 🗓️
Each day is tailored to your dog's needs and usually includes walks, fresh air, sniffing adventures, playtime, and plenty of relaxation. Depending on the weather and your dog's preferences, we may enjoy neighborhood strolls or explore nearby Austin trails. ⠀ Play, Rest & Lots of Love 🎾
Whether your dog enjoys fetch, tug-of-war, leisurely walks, or simply lounging nearby, I provide a balance of activity, comfort, and companionship throughout the day. When your dog stays with me, their happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll do my best to follow their normal routine and provide the love and reassurance they’re accustomed to at home. 🫶🏼 📆 Schedule:⠀ Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine, and I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to truly prioritize the pets in my care. Because I’m available and home often, I can accommodate early mornings, midday walks or check‑ins, evening care, overnight stays, and custom routines. ⠀ I’m happy to accept last‑minute bookings when availability allows, as well as extended stays and holiday care. I also do my best to prioritize repeat clients whenever possible, since I love building long‑term relationships with pets and their families. If your pet has stayed with me before, I’m always happy to welcome them back—it helps me provide even more personalized, consistent care each time. 🏠 Safety, Trust & Environment: Your pet's safety comes first. Whether they're staying in my home or receiving drop-in visits, I carefully follow their routine, preferences, and any special care instructions: ⠀ Safety Checklist ✔️ ⠀ ⠀ • Fully fenced yard ⠀ ⠀ • Supervised outdoor time ⠀ ⠀ • One-family-at-a-time boarding ⠀ ⠀ • Secure doors and gates ⠀ • Regular photo updates 📸 ⠀ ⠀ • Close monitoring of behavior and well-being. Whether it's boarding in my home or drop-in visits, my goal is to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible—so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in good hands.🐾💕

“Paul and Katrina are great! Both our dogs have a great time at their place. I can tell they pay very close attention to all their boarders during the day. We get lots of updates and photos from them regularly. They are very flexible with drop off and pick up times which is good for scheduling.”

“Dianelis was great with my dog. She sent multiple photos and videos. She took him on a walk and he had a great time playing with her dog. She was great at communicating and I would definitely book with her again!”

Anastasia K.

“We chose Sherryann because our other Rover daycare sitter was booked, and we are so happy we did. She scheduled a meet and greet before his stay and allowed all of her dogs to meet our puppy, Frodo, one at a time so he wouldn’t be overwhelmed. During his stay, she sent great photos and videos all day long. It was a muddy day and she let all of the dogs outside to play and explore anyway, and she even washed him up for me before I picked up! He came home so exhausted he hardly woke up for dinner, so we know he had a blast. We will continue to use Sherryann and highly recommend her for all your doggie care needs.”

“Casandra took great care of Niko during my day trip out of Austin. When I picked up Niko, he was happy and tired! Casandra made sure Niko got along with her dog Cory by having a meet-and-greet beforehand. She also updated me with a lot of photos from the day. Would definitely drop Niko off with her and Cory again! Thanks, Casandra.”
