“I cannot express how amazing Marissa has been!! My schedule has been insanely unpredictable and Marissa has been there for my pup throughout the whole thing. 1000000% recommend.”


About: Hi, I’m Hanna! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, starting with feeding my neighbor’s 17 koi fish every morning at age 8. I’ve had dogs my whole life, including a Jindo and a Corgi that I raised from six months old. Today, I live with two cats and a puppy (all adopted from Austin shelters), so I’m very familiar with different animal personalities and needs. I recently volunteered with the Austin Animal Center, where I helped care for cats and matched them with adopters. I’m comfortable handling pets that are shy, energetic, or just need a little extra love and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m known for being reliable, calm, and detail-oriented. I’ll make sure your home stays secure and that your pets are happy and relaxed while you’re away. I will always treat your pets like my own, with lots of love and safety precautions! I am between jobs so I have all the time in the world to care for your babies. I am flexible based on your schedule. My cats are escape artists so I have become accustomed to making sure the house is always secure. I am always on the lookout for items that my cats may get that could cause them injury. I’m strict about safety in my own home when it comes to my pets, and you can expect the same for your place.

About: My day job at the hospital I work at is to feed my patients, groom them, clean up their poop, take them on walks, etc. I can’t wait to treat your pet with the same level of care :) I have had pets throughout my childhood, and have always taken a very active role in their care. I love animals and I am heartbroken that I am not at a stage in my life where I can commit to my own pet, but I would love nothing more than to spend time with yours. Additionally, while I am new to this app and have not professionally pet sit before, I have pet sit for my neighbors and friends countless times throughout my life. I work 3 12 hour shift a week where I will not be able to care for a pet. However, since I can work any three days of the week, I can care for one pet with no work commitments for as long as 4 days. My schedule varies, but please reach out and I would be happy to plan something. I'm mostly just doing this because I want to hang out with animals and without committing to getting my own pet, as I will be starting grad school next year and will not have time to care for a pet once that happens. In other words, if I'm caring for your pet it's not because this is a job for me. It's because I really want to hang out with your pet I have every intention of spending all my time and effort on them.

“Nicole went above and beyond to take care of my pup Georgia while I was away on vacation! From brushing her to bringing her new toys to keep her occupied she really exceeded expectations. Can't recommend her enough!”


“Heather was the first dog walker I've ever hired to walk my dog Molasses. In the beginning I was pretty nervous since I didn't know how Lass would do with someone else walking her and having a new person in my apartment while I was gone. Heather was great because she offered to do a meet and great before out 1st scheduled walk to make Lass and myself feel comfortable. I'm so grateful for this meet up! Lass loves Heather and their walks. Between the super cute photos I get and the love that my dog receives, I couldn't ask for a better walker!”

About: I have a deep love and special connection with animals of all kinds, that started with the dogs and cats of my childhood. I will make friends with your pets quickly, and always ensure their utmost happiness.I am keen on attention to details and perseverance in the face of challenges. I am currently picking up gig work while in between industries. I have reliable transportation and a very open schedule. I am available to work consistently in Bastrop, Travis, and Caldwell counties. I can do shorter term work in Bexar and Hays counties. I am happy to maintain the comfortable and perfect situation you already have set up for your pets. I am careful to follow all rules you have in place.

“Rachel was amazing with my pup, Lucy! Rachel was professional; taking her time to with Lucy, as Lucy is a little shy and needs time to warm up to others. She also asked all the right questions to ensure that Lucy had a safe and comfortable experience; even coming early on the first walk to make sure Lucy was comfortable with her. By the time they came back, Lucy was wagging her tail and all smiles. All the proof needed. I will definitely rebook!”


About: I've had both small and large dogs since I was a kid. My sister had a Golden Retriever service dog most of my childhood and I was able to pick up on dog behaviors very quickly. I currently have a 7 month old miniature dachshund named Ozzy who I have raised and trained since 8 weeks old. I'm very comfortable with puppies and can crate your pet if necessary! I am able to devote my entire day to making your pet comfy! I can also run out and take your pet's on a walk, pretty much any time of day! I have a full fenced backyard and a 2 bedroom house that can be used to separate animals as necessary! I will have my dog and two adult cats around who are happy to give a new friend a cuddle or an engaging play time!

“Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!”


“Juliette was so great with my puppy Otis for their first time together! He is a ball of energy and he was actually tied when he came back. She kept me updated and would send photos throughout the walk. I definitely will be using her again!”


About: Animal care is what I love to do! I graduated from UVM in 2022 with a degree in animal science and now work as a veterinary technician and pet sitter. Before my role as a vet tech, I had experience as a kennel technician and a veterinary assistant, working with both dogs and cats. I make sure all pets under my care receive timely feedings, medication, and exercise. Just as my own dog, Tommy, is entitled to my love and attention, your pet will receive that very same level of affection. For house sitting dogs during weekdays, I like to stay within a nearby radius so that I can let them out on my long lunches. While caring for your pet in your home, I will carefully follow your instructions to ensure that they feel safe and loved while you are away. Depending on your pet’s preferences, I am happy to give them long walks, trips to the nearby park, cuddles, or playtime. Cats welcome too of course!

About: I've been a pet care giver since I convinced my parents to let me get mice when I was 5 years old (shoutout Pickles and Shooting Star✨). Since then, I've loved dogs of my own and family pets. Now, I am the proud cat owner of 4 years to a sweet little orange tabby. My friends and I often dog and cat sit for each other whenever the other is away, so I'm very familiar with attending to others' pets needs. Plus, I have experience with puppy and kitty care as well as senior pet care.❣️❤️ I'm currently working part-time and some odd jobs around town, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets whenever you're away! As a longtime pet owner, I understand that our furry friends aren't just our pets, they're a part of our families too. I will be sure to provide your pets with the care and attention that they need, so that you can comfortably enjoy your time away from home knowing that they are in good hands.

“Meg was absolutely wonderful with Mika. She clearly loves animals and was patient with my senior dog. She was communicative, reliable and sent cute pics. Greatly appreciate her!”


About: Hello! My name is Rebecca, I’m getting back into pet sitting in the time inbetween careers! I’m a lifetime pet sitter, have been watching dogs, cats, etc since ~2008 for family, neighbors, roommates, and friends. I’ve always loved all kinds of animals and worked at Pet Supermarket, I have a degree in biology and am pursuing marine biology researching fish as a career. Right now I have a 4 year old clumber spaniel, Thorin, who loves other dogs if your pup or kitty likes friends, otherwise I am happy to do drop-ins in your home! My schedule is extremely flexible at the moment, including weekends. :) I’m excited to meet your fur (or scale) babies!! New Rover app users get $20 off with this code- https://www.rover.com/sit/rebecg84650 :) I’m currently working as a kayak tour guide at Ladybird Lake, which usually runs for a couple hours in the evenings. Other than that, shifts are posted the week prior and are five hours in duration. I have experience administering medication, and attending to needs of animals in all walks of life. I take a lot of pictures as well and am communicative!

“Arantxa was exactly the dog caregiver we were hoping for. She took care of our dogs in a pinch with the least amount of disturbance possible. She went above my expectations with how well she kept in touch in spite of my inability to respond. I got updates and photos with our dogs looking completely happy. It was obvious they were having a great time. Her photos were great too! She asked the right questions and did a flawless job. I'll definitely book her again.”


About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs. I now have a cat, Pico de Gato, and I live for visits from my nephew, a Maltese named Monty. I am available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m also a bit of a plant lady if you need plants watered! I am open to watching small dogs in my home. I work from home most days, and have a flexible schedule. I am available on weekends and would love to have your pup join me for some time in the sun! I typically go on two 20+min hot girl walks daily, in addition to shorter potty breaks. Always up for cuddles or a game of tug-o-war! Cats can enjoy a game of laser play or other excitement. If boarding in my home, I have toys, and a dog stroller available if needed.

Collin E.
“I can’t recommend Collin enough! Not only is he passionate about caring for animals, but he’s also incredibly patient and understanding of their needs. My cat is pretty grumpy, and he’s wary around new people. He gets anxious easily, so I tend to not bring him around others for extended periods of time. I recently experienced long-term power outage from a hailstorm, and I let Collin watch the cat while I figured things out. I was pleasantly surprised to see how fond my cat became with Collin! It’s clear that Collin does a fantastic job in bonding with any pet he watches, and my cat has since always been happy to see him!”

I never have any worries when my baby is with Asia because I know he is in good hands!”
Hancock dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashlynn is amazing! She’s been taking Ford on walks 3-5 days a week the past couple of months. She’s always on time, quick to reply and sends daily updates. We are lucky to have her help, since we have to work in the office. We can tell she cares and loves for him, which is all you can ask for!!

My Priya is a nervous elder who requires a patient soul! Melissa came for an initial greeting and then came to visit Priya twice this week. Melissa has such patience as Priya warms up and takes her out on her time. This gives me such relief as I need to be in office more, knowing there is gentle, patient support nearby!

Kim is amazing with my dog — he absolutely adores her! He gets so excited every time he sees her, and it’s clear he feels completely comfortable and happy in her care. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. She’s always on time, super reliable, and goes the extra mile by sending me photos during their walks, which I always appreciate. I can’t recommend her enough!
