“Jessica always takes good care of my boys Bennie and Maxx. They are both on meds and she always makes sure they get their dose when needed. She is dependable and my boys look forward to her visits.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Granite Shoals near Marble Falls, and I’m happy to travel within an hour of the Austin area to care for your pup. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly believe they’re family—not just pets. I currently share my home with Josie, my sweet 10-year-old Pug, and Bella, my energetic 2-year-old rescue Pit mix. Having dogs at very different life stages has given me experience with everything from senior care and slower-paced walks to playful energy and enrichment. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends care for their dogs—whether that meant walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their humans were away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy trail walks and neighborhood strolls, always tailoring activity levels to each dog’s needs, age, and personality. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! My full time job is mostly remotely, which gives me the flexibility to plan my day around a pet’s needs. This allows me to provide regular walks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure secure environments and safe walks, and treat both pets and homes with care and respect.

“Hillary is fantastic! Our dogs were very happy and very well kept while we were out of town. We will definitely have Hillary back to stay again.”

“Amazing Dog Sitter! Makaehla was absolutely incredible while we were away. She stayed at our house and loved on Raven and Rasco like they were her own. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house, which says everything about how well she takes care of both pets and home. She went above and beyond, communicated perfectly, and gave us total peace of mind the entire time. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Ashley was amazing with our animals. They loved her and did better with her than they have in the past with other people. She sent us so many pictures while we were away which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely be rebooking with Ashley anytime we are out of town!”

About: I started as a little kid taking care of my family dogs.As I got older I watched my grandparents dogs over night.Now I have dog name Summer "Animals aren't just a job for me – they're my entire world! Every day is an adventure filled with wagging tails, purring companions, and the joy of understanding what makes our furry friends tick. My home is often buzzing with happy pets, and I truly believe that living alongside them teaches us so much. This daily immersion in the world of pets means I bring not just experience, but a deep, personal understanding and endless patience to every animal I care for." "When I'm caring for your pets in your home, their safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. I'm meticulous about following your specific instructions, maintaining routines, and ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for your furry family members. You can trust me to treat your home with the utmost respect and to provide vigilant, loving care so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away."

“Katelyn was fantastic with Archie. He enjoyed his walks and belly rubs. She was good about sending photos and keeping me up to date with what Archie was up to.”

“Christine has been a great sitter for my two dogs- one who can be very slow to trust sitters and she always keeps me informed with pictures and dogs are happy!”

About: I've been working as a dog groomer for the past two years, but had to pause that to focus on my health. I've volunteered walking dogs in animal shelters, and as a child mucked horse barns and brushed/washed horses in exchange for riding lessons. 😂 I've loved animals my entire life. I was raised in a family of 2-6 dogs (it increased frequently) and will admit only here that I loved them more than I loved my sister! I'm currently coming out of treatment and unemployed, so I have plenty of time to watch your furry friends! My only obligations are a weekly monday appointment and a biweekly friday appointment. I have a very nice, soft voice for any frightened pups, and am told I'm a bit of an animal whisperer. I will do my very best to connect with your animals and individualize my care in any way I can!

About: I am currently employed as a pet sitter, taking care of various pets while their owners are away at work, or on vacation. Responsible for entering people's homes and ensuring the proper care of their pets. Trusted with providing animals the proper medication for their individual needs. Also providing in home boarding for your convenience! I am pursuing this as a full time gig! I love animals and enjoy being outdoors and bringing smiles to their faces! I know we all have busy schedules, so let me be the one to come and interact with them while you are busy! I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs, two cats that will be staying upstairs and put away for safety of all! Daily photo updates are a promise!

“Absolutely outstanding experience! Kate cared for our dogs and cat and also watched our home, and she exceeded expectations in every way. Communication was excellent from start to finish, with thoughtful updates and daily photos that gave us total peace of mind. Our pets were clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for. On top of that, she left our home spotless, which was such a great surprise to come back to. It genuinely felt like our home and pets were treated with the same care and attention she would give her own. If you are even considering hiring Kate, do it immediately! We will absolutely book Kate again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter.”

“If you are looking for an overnight house/dog sitter for an anxious pup, Jaymi is the sitter for you! She was so great with sending us pictures and updates!!! She even set our trash and recycling bin to the burb for us while we were out of town! She is friendly and sweet and we know that our Freya couldn't have asked for better sitter while we were gone. Thank you so much Jaymi!”

“Payton is amazing! She stayed in my home with her pup and my 5 dogs and 3 kitties and did such a great job with everyone. Several pets have special needs and she gave medications and was very communicative throughout her stay, sending pictures, updates, feedback on behavior, and updates on household items that may need to be replenished. She left my home very clean and I would ask her back any time.”

About: I have worked with animals my whole life from cattle horses sheep to dogs. I seem to have more in common with animals than I do humans. I know how to take care of your best friend and their needs. I don’t mind walking dogs that need training would do one on one session with them. Will only walk 2 dogs at atone so they can have their own space. I set at home most of the day until 2:55 My dog would love a play date she gets along with all dogs so they won’t be lonely. Trying to make some extra income! New to rover so bare with me please. If you would like to do a meet and greet before hand I am ok with that to!

“Sherri was wonderful with our Scout!!💕 I knew the minute I saw his interaction with Sherri and her with him that he would be well taken care of. I was at ease while we were away and didn't worry about him. Thank you Sherri!!”

About: I was raised in a farming community and have cared for all types of livestock and pets. Dogs and cats have always been a part of our family and home. I have an array of pet skills caring for the puppy/kitten stage to the senior stage of a pet’s life. I’m an empty nester and retired educator who misses the opportunity to nurture and provide care. My schedule is extremely flexible and I enjoy interacting with the great outdoors. I would love to incorporate pets into my daily routine of physical activities and exercise. I enjoy socializing with pets by providing care while their owners are away. I care for my pets as my children. Believe pets need to feel secure knowing their human provides affection, respect, nurturing, nutrition, engagement and physical activity.

“Pam was incredibly attentive to our pups, sent us plenty of pictures, and texted us updates while we were away. We appreciated her kindness, thanks so much Pam!”

About: I provide care for all types of pets! (Dogs, cats, fish, small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, horses, donkeys, goats, etc.) I have a certification to administer CPR for dogs and cats, valid until November 2027. I was trained in 2015 for dog safety and care, prior to working at a dog park I have 3 years of experience caring for an elderly dog with dementia and several years of experience caring for blind dogs. I spent two years caring for an elderly dog (cataracts), and a younger dog since 2021 (pannus) I have 5 years of experience with puppy care and training. I require a command word list prior to caring for puppies to ensure the dog is not confused and the training process is not subverted I have cared for horses, donkeys, goats, and chickens since 2006. I am comfortable feeding farm animals, and I can groom horses for an additional fee. In-person meet and greets are required prior to an initial booking for farm animals I have very little experience caring for birds, snakes, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I will gladly assist with caring for your small mammals, birds, and reptiles. I just ask that we have an in-person meet and greet beforehand to ensure I provide proper care I currently own a cat, 2 dogs, fish, and chickens I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule. I offer same day bookings to ensure all pets are taken care of, especially something unexpected pops up and your pet needs someone to stop by and make sure all of their needs are met I am CPR certified for canines and felines through the RECOVER Initiative, which is recognized by ACVECC (American College of Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care) and VECCS (Veterinary Emergency Critical Care Society). My CPR certification is valid until November 2027 I prefer all clients provide a command word list when booking, to ensure I'm speaking your pet's lingo. A command word list is required for dogs under the age of 12 months. As dogs are still in the training process, commands must be consistent to prevent issues Please advise if there are any triggers for your pets, such as areas they don't like to be pet, reactive behaviors or tense situations your pet has experienced so I can ensure to assist your pet in avoiding an environment they deem stressful or dangerous (Examples: other dogs, cats, wild animals, cars, lawn equipment, people wearing hats, etc.)
