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!

“Riley is the best and my pup Sage loves her walks with him. It’s so nice to come home to a happy and calm dog. I have no doubt that she is always taken such good care of by Riley. He’s gone above by bringing in packages on my doorstep, picking up her dog toys, etc. I love getting to see all the pictures and updates of my fur baby while I’m at work.”

About: I give dogs a calm & predictable experience. I adjust to different personalities and energy levels, whether that’s a relaxed senior dog or a more playful, active pup. I can help with walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I’m flexible when my schedule allows (including last-minute requests!). I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep each dog’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable :) **Note: potty-trained is a requirement for care in my home - thanks! My schedule is flexible, so I can help with walks and drop-ins during the week, as well as daycare and boarding. I follow your dog’s routine, whether it’s a quick visit/walk or a longer stay at my house. Aside from the occasional errand or outing, I'm home most of the day (weekdays and weekends) and spend a lot of time with the dogs in my care. My dog, Emory, is very easygoing and gets along well with both calm and playful dogs. Dogs have access to a fenced yard and doggie door, and I'm available to provide potty breaks as often as needed for dogs who can't use it. They're also welcome to get on the furniture! For walks and drop-ins, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I provide regular updates and follow your dog's routine and any specific instructions to help you and your dogs feel comfortable while you're away.
About: We've had dogs in our family since I was an infant and I've never known life without a dog. My two girls are black labs, a mother and daughter pair, rescues from Ohio- Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson. They are the sweetest and are in heaven living on our 1 acre "ranch" chasing squirrels, roadrunners, and barking at deer across the fence. They love having company from other dogs and I have a very flexible work from home schedule, so I've been able help people out when they need it! I currently have my own online business where I am able to choose my own hours, so I am able to take good care of your dog whenever you are in need! I live on about an acre of land that's completely fenced and have two loveable older labs that love new friends! I can also easily crate your dog if you would prefer.
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.

About: Hi! I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and reliable care for pets of all kinds! I have 6 years of experience working in a veterinary office, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, medication administration, and recognizing signs that a pet may need extra attention.

Because I’m not commuting to an office, I’m able to maintain your pet’s normal routine, provide regular potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship, and ensure they aren’t left alone for long periods of time. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I will provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and any medications or special care they may need.

I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, tidy, and secure throughout my stay. I'll clean up after your pets, maintain their feeding and living areas, and leave your home in the same condition, or better, than I found it. You can feel confident knowing that both your pets and your home will be cared for with professionalism, attention, and respect while you're away.

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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hays. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
