About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Over the past year, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience dog sitting and caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, routines, and needs. From daily walks and playtime to meals, medications, cuddles, and overnight stays, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I love getting to know each dog individually and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether we’re out exploring, relaxing at home, or simply enjoying some extra attention, I’m happiest when I’m spending time with dogs. My goal is always for both the pups and their parents to feel happy, comfortable, and confident that they’re in good hands. I currently work a full-time job, so I’m typically away from home from 7-3 Monday through Thursday and home on Fridays and weekends. That said, I always make sure my pups are a priority and receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and an 11-year-old dog named Maya who is friendly and would be happy to keep your pets company during their stay.
“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: Hey there! My name is Meg! I recently graduated from Texas Tech University this summer (Wreck ’Em!), and I would love to look after your pets for you! :) Growing up, I had dogs of all different breeds and backgrounds, and I have over 7 years of experience pet sitting for countless families. I’ve experienced many different care routines and am always open to new ones! I have experience caring for puppies as young as 6 weeks old and seniors as old as 16 years. I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your pet as my own! I can ensure your animals will be safe, happy, and well loved while in my care. I’m more than happy to take pets on walks, to the park, or just hang out on the couch with them, whatever the owner and pup are comfortable with! Since I’m currently searching for a full-time job, my schedule is completely open and flexible to fit your pet’s needs. Early mornings and late nights are no issue for me:) As a dog owner myself, I completely understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m a huge animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. Your dog (or other pets) will be kept safe, comfortable, and well loved while in my care. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, medication, playtime, walks, and downtime. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you know how they’re doing. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, to the park, or wherever you’re comfortable with based on their energy and needs.
About: Hi my name is Jenna and I’d love to care for your pets! I’m a big animal lover with a big personality! I love working fun jobs that allow me the freedom to be outdoors and have new experiences :) I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and I have experience caring for others pets as well. My services include walking dogs, feeding pets, playing with pets, extended pet-sitting, etc. While caring for your pet I promise to be responsible and reliable. I will make sure that your pet is taken care of and I’ll go above and beyond to bring your pet joy while you’re gone!

I am available every day of the week for per care! I can stop by as little as once a day and as often as three times a day.

About: From taking care of our family-friend's pets to helping with my best friend's cat, I have experience with all types of dogs, cats, and personalities! I am also comfortable with all-size pets. I'm currently in grad-school working part time. This means I have flexibility between class days and my part-time job. I am a hard worker that can juggle my responsibilities. Thanks, mom, for that! As a dog owner, I understand how important our pets are. I treat every pet how I would like my pet to be treated. This includes taking it easy and slow when meeting your pet for the first time, paying attention to surroundings (i.e., loud noises, other dogs around, no exposure to toxic foods, etc.), and paying attention to your pet's body language. As someone with a reactive dog, I understand that every dog's personality varies and requires different needs.
About: I've had a dog in my family for many years. I am the one who gets called to take care of my little family member and I'd love to do the same for you! I am currently working full-time as a flight attendant, on an as-needed basis. I can make myself available for you when you need me. Please shoot me and text or call and we can get wagging! I ensure your pet feels comfortable in their own space, sticking to their routine with daily walks, play, and lots of love. I also take care of feeding, grooming, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, mainly Golden Retrievers weighing over 100 pounds and two French Bulldogs weighing under 30 pounds. I’ve also volunteered at Austin Animal Center, where I gained experience interacting with dogs of different breeds, temperaments, and backgrounds. Along with volunteering, I’ve provided dog-sitting services for families in my neighborhood. These experiences have helped me become comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, understanding their different personalities, and adjusting my care to meet their individual needs. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness! Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I have a golden retriever and a French bulldog of my own! I enjoy spending time with animals, going on walks, and making sure their needs are met. I currently work full-time and attend graduate school online, but my schedule allows me flexibility Monday through Thursday to provide pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, going on walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure their environment stays clean and safe. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets, so I treat every animal as if they were my own!
About: I have four dogs at home, a cat, and two tarantulas! Thus, i’ve had plenty of pet care-taking experience since I was a child! I take my dogs on walks, play with them, feed them, and offer cuddle time every day! I also have a cat, which goes the same for her too :) I can also take care of exotic pets, as I do so for my two tarantulas. I’m available to take care of your pets anytime besides Monday nights from 5:30-6:30pm. Otherwise, your convenience is my first priority. I can do overnight and even check on your pets in the early morning. My care is crafted around your time and needs. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in both my home and clients’ homes. I closely follow care instructions, maintain a clean environment, provide regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, and ensure pets feel calm, secure, and well-supervised at all times. I can crate your dog as needed, play with them, let them out, etc.
About: I’ve always been the go to person to take care of my friends/ families/ friends of families. Whether it’s cats or dogs I love all animals and will make sure to do my absolute best that your animals will get the care they deserve!

I will give them my attention almost most of the time, and will never leave them alone unless specified otherwise. Will gladly provide anything your dog needs.
“Chloe was Great to work with 10/10! Took direction very well and was amazing with my dog Dallas. It makes me so happy to have him get out during the day while I work long hours. Thanks Chloe!”
About: Caring for dogs has always been my thing. I currently have four at home that I love, care, and walk or run with them every opportunity I get! I love meeting new cute furry and friendly faces! I am a very on time person when it comes to meeting up as well as schedules to follow for your dog. In addition to caring for your dog, if you need help around the house, I’ll be more than willing to take care of things for you. I am a morning person, so if needed before work or when you go to work, I can be there to take care of your dog! Taking them to the park and playing is always fun! Hope to see you!

About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember; Dachshund's, Beagle's, Sheep dog's, Newfoundland's and Shepherd's. I currently have a senior dachshund named Chubbs who is 16, and a 6.5-year-old mini dachshund, appropriately named Minnie. Dogs are my absolute favorite animal, and I've never met a dog I didn't love! At the moment, it fits perfectly. My ideal job is to be able to care for dogs while people are away, or even just drop in to take them for a much-deserved walk! I am not currently offering pet care at my home, but I can accommodate to your space in any way possible. If you have a fenced yard, I have no problem being outside with your dog to ensure there is no possibility of them escaping. Playing with them inside or taking them on walks, as weather permits for them, is absolutely no problem at all!

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!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Hays. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
