“Riley is so sweet and attentive to my two pups! My pups get to take long walks around the neighborhood or have special playtime in the yard. One of my pups requires lots of fresh water due to medications she is on, and Riley always makes sure her bowl is filled to the brim and she drinks readily. Highly recommend him!”

“Jillian did a wonderful job with our pup. She took him for a walk, played fetch with him, and even did some tricks for treats with him. We are so grateful that she was available to take care of him and I would definitely recommend her. Bonus: she takes awesome pictures. Our pup looked like he was having a blast.”


About: Hello everyone!, my name is Dominique and I have always had a dog in my life. My earliest memories consist of watching and helping my dog give birth and raise 10 puppies when I was 4 years old. Volunteering at the Austin Animal Center as a teenager was a natural step in my love for animals. I walked the small dogs outside for bathroom breaks and playtime while keeping puppies occupied when their crates were getting cleaned. I also walked the large dogs from their suites to the group play area and supervised multiple large dogs’ interactions. My friends have been trusting me to care for their animals and homes for 7 years now, and I have absolutely loved it! My experience ranges from small dogs to big dogs, puppies to seniors, and I have administered oral medication numerous times. The longest I have house sat was a week straight and the most animals I have cared for at a time is 4. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies❤️ I am currently working part time as a babysitter so I have a lot of availability for walks, feeds, hangouts, play, and cuddles! I am available seven days a week for feedings, walks, and daytime care starting at 10:30 am and into the night. For housesitting visits, I can come and stay at your house Friday night, Saturday night, and holidays for overnight care. First of all, I respect, follow, and complete all written or spoken directions on how to care for your pet and take care of your house. A typical sitting appointment for me is being there to provide food/water, frequent bathroom breaks, outside play, inside play (if given permission), a walk around the neighborhood (if requested), and a movie night with unlimited cuddles 🥰. I believe that it’s important to follow your pets’ cues so if they need extra attention, I am there to play or run around and if they need more space/alone time, I give them that time adjust. While we are having nap/down time, I will complete any household task asked of me which can consist of gathering the mail, putting out trash cans, watering the plants, etc. My favorite part of this experience is forming a bond with clients both human and dog so you can feel comfortable leaving your home in a trusted person’s hands!
“Erica was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very sweet and a great communicator. She was also very accommodating with my needs and well as the dogs needs. Can’t recommend enough”

About: Hi there! Welcome to my profile. My experience with dogs started when I was a child, I grew up living with dogs, so I am able to understand the daily life of pets, how take care of them, how treat them and how to respect them. I have had the opportunity to interact with several different breeds, sizes and ages (puppies and seniors), including chihuahua, Yorkshire Terrier, Pomeranian, French poodle, schnauzers, Jack Russel Terrier, American Bulldog, Labrador retriever, Australian Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Pitbull, Cane Corso, I learn about every breeds every day. I have also volunteered as a house host for rescued dogs, A wonderful experience helping these lovely animals that need a lot of patience. I’m responsible and patient, which make me a great pet sitter, because no matter what is going on, I always try to act calm, I like to respect personal space and learn from dogs based on their body language, and of course I always treat all dogs like they are part of my family. I really enjoy running and walking, so I include long walks in any service that you get from me. I’m bilingual (Spanish/English) I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for daytime visits, walks, evenings, overnight stays, weekends, and holidays. I’m also happy to work with recurring clients and keep your pet’s usual routine while you’re away! I take care of them as if they were my own pets, I give them a lot of love and respect, to see them happy and healthy.

About: ● Over the past 12+ years, caring for my rescue dog, Emory, and many other dogs has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, sizes, routines, and care needs. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving medications, managing and following special diets & feeding routines, and adapting care for dogs with physical limitations or special routines. ● I pay close attention to body language and behavior, using patience and adjusting my approach to each dog’s comfort level. Whether a dog is confident and playful or shy and anxious, I let them move at their own pace and focus on building trust rather than forcing interactions or commands. Owners often tell me they're surprised by how quickly their typically reserved or anxious dogs warm up to me! ● Safety is always my top priority, so I'm very mindful of secure leash handling during walks, preventing escapes, monitoring interactions with people and other dogs, keeping anything they could eat or get into out of reach, and paying attention to the weather and each dog's energy level and physical abilities. ● I also take the time to notice changes in behavior or routine that could indicate a dog is feeling stressed, uncomfortable, or unwell. I'm communicative and will always keep you updated with how things are going and anything that needs your attention. ● I believe great pet care comes from being observant, patient, and treating every dog as an individual! ● I work from home with a flexible schedule, so aside from the occasional errands or plans, I'm home during the day & evening. ● Being home helps make it easy for me to stick to your dog's normal feeding schedule, medication times, potty routine, and any exercise or activity. ● Your dog gets plenty of companionship, attention, and frequent potty breaks all throughout the day instead of being left alone for long stretches. ● I'm open to last-minute requests so your pup isn't left high and dry! ● My home is a calm, comfortable place where dogs can relax and settle into a predictable routine. I intentionally host just one household at a time, so your dog can enjoy a low-stress stay without unfamiliar people or dogs coming and going. ● Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard and doggie door, and I can provide frequent potty breaks for dogs who don't use one. ● Emory is my 8 y/o rescue (and the calm, steady presence of our home!). He's incredibly tolerant and respectful of other dogs, whether they love to play, prefer their own space, or just enjoy quietly coexisting. He's submissive by nature, doesn't escalate interactions, and lets other dogs set the pace. ● For walks and drop-ins, I follow your instructions closely, respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain your dog's normal routine as closely as possible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hays
We are glad to have had Trinity walking our dog while we were traveling. She took photos and left notes after each walk, so we had the peace of mind knowing our baby was well taken care of. Our dog doesn't get along with other dogs, and it was great knowing that Trinity could handle that and keep our dog at a safe distance from other dogs during walks. Thanks Trinity!

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
