About: I’ve taken care of 3 Samoyeds most of my life, after their passing i’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I am able to handle very large pups and very tiny pups!! I grew up learning how to take care of my oldest Samoyed (12) all the way to my youngest Samoyed (1). I love going for long walks and I know your dog does too! I also have many years of experience babysitting children with puppies and am able to juggle multiple energetic personalities. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup best friend😊 “Dogs are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole.”

“Gihan is the best. She was super sweet, and took great care of my pups. She also sent over a bunch of pictures which is always great. :) Definitely going to reach out to her again next time I need help with pups. Thanks again for all your help, Gihan!!”

“James was great with my pup, Princesa. He dropped in to take her for a walk on 2 long days when I was at the office and I came home to a relaxed and happy pup! Will definitely hire him again!”

“Our boy loves walks with Lillian! We’ve been regulars with Lillian for a few months now. She is dependable, responsive, and flexible if plans change or we need coverage. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”

“Laura helped me out with a last minute walking and made sure my girl got a bit drink of water before putting her back in her kennel! Would rebook with her in the future!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors relied on me to let their dogs out while they were gone! I prioritize pet care and love to make sure the doggos get plenty of exercise and stay healthy! Give me the cat food recipe and I'll mix it. I leave everything as I found it when pet sitting in house and ensure that your fur babies have a safe and fun time! I send lots of cute pictures so that you can have plenty of cute updates to share with family, friends and coworkers.

“Jacob was great with Hank! Stepped in last minute and did a wonderful job. Great communication and very easy going. Will definitely use again and highly recommend”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, bunnies, and parrots. I’ve also regularly watched family members’ and friends’ pets while they’re away on trips, so I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, giving pets attention and exercise, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Having experience with such a wide variety of animals, I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m a recent Texas State University graduate who just moved to Austin, and I’d love to spend my free time caring for pets while getting settled into my new place. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and plenty of love! I’m currently available throughout the week and have open availability on weekends. Until September 1st, my schedule is very flexible, so I can accommodate different routines and pet care needs. Starting September 1st, I’ll begin my full time job, but I’ll still be available after around 4–5 PM on weekdays and throughout the weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and make sure your pets receive consistent, dependable care. Growing up, my pets were always kept on a consistent schedule, which helped keep them happy, comfortable, and well-adjusted. I would feed them and take them for a walk in the morning around 7 AM, give them additional walks and attention throughout the day, and then feed and walk them again around 7 PM. When caring for your pets, I’ll make sure to follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs while treating them with the same care and attention I would give my own pets.

“First time actually having a reliable person that actually showed up, Chelsea was very nice handled my dog with extra care and I love the photos that was taken along their walk. I will be booking again with Chelsea..”

About: I’ve always grown up with fur babies - from baby kittens to my current child, a Great Pyrenees. I love dogs, cats and every animal needing care. I am patient, loving, caring and supportive. I have years of experience pet sitting and pet walking for friends, family, and beyond. I’m currently in school Tuesday and Thursday, in between jobs and have lots of experience with all types of pets. I am currently going to school Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am free Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with plenty of time to walk your fur babies! Before the walks I check the pavement to make sure it’s not too hot for their paws, carry extra potty bags and fresh water.

“Malery has been great! She has been walking my dog Tink most days for about a month, and Tink is so excited to see her each morning. She has great communication, and when something came up, she let me know if plenty of time so that I could ask another walker to come. Will most definitely ask her to help again!”

About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of animals all my life. I have a 9 year old cat and 15 month old dog. They are my pride and joy. I also have experience with elderly dogs and cats. I am currently in between jobs and have plenty of time on my hands. I am available to pet sit all week and most weekends. I live in an apartment complex with a dog park. I also have a 15 month old pup who I take for walks at least 3 times a day. He’s great with other dogs both small and large and he lives with a cat. He’ll keep your pets company.

About: Took a break from Rover as my job was more demanding but now back to having more flexibility and being remote full-time and want to put meaningful time back into Rover. During my time away from the app, I still continued to care for neighbors and friends animals. From puppies to older dogs that require a slower pace and / or specific care instructions. I grew up with dogs, so I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of dogs at all different ages and health conditions. I'm very adaptable to what they need. Have cared for dogs that love a lot of outdoor time and others that just want to lay on the couch. Have also cared for dogs that need special care - inclusive of special diets / eating times, administering medication and behavioral issues with people and other animals. I love love a good game of catch and never get tired of giving belly rubs and scratches behind the ear. I'm work from home full-time, so have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I can do walks any time of the day, head to the park or spend time with them in the house so they aren’t alone all day. For dogs, I have no issues taking them on a drive or in a store, if you are comfortable with that as well! I grew up with cats and dogs and currently have two cats of my own and share a backyard with my neighbor that has a dog. I’d care for them as I do the ones I am around every day. They are part of the family! Lots of love :) Most importantly I understand they are all different. So in order to provide the right care, I’ll take the time to ask the right questions and understand your pet so they get the care they need and deserve while you are away.

About: I’ve personally taken care of dogs and cats for over the last 15 years and currently have my own pup! I have never met a dog I didn’t immediately love and my partner calls me a dog whisperer because of how great I can bond with them. I currently work full time at Dirty Dog - Grooming and Boarding so my schedule is very fluid and I’m often available during the day on weekdays as well as weekends. My partner also works from home so there is always an extra set of helping hands when needed! In my time off, I enjoy reading, paddle boarding on the lake, practicing yoga, and a new hobby of mine - rock painting! I would love to add taking care of other people’s fur babies to my list of activities (: In my own home, my dog and dogs I’m sitting will get frequent walks and visits to the local dog park. We also have plenty of space and toys for animals to enjoy themselves inside my home. In terms of trust, I will always follow a pets lead when it comes to how they’re feeling and what their needs are. Making sure an animal feels comfortable and safe will always be top priority.

About: My name is Becky and I moved to Austin in 2018 from Miami. I grew up with indoor/outdoor cats and smaller dogs. I work a 8-4 Monday-Friday job but am available after 4:30pm anywhere in Austin and during the week and midday for South Austin visits/walks. I currently the proud parent of an orange tabby and regularly dog and cat sit. I love a chance to meet a new buddy. I am a quick drive to anywhere in Central Austin and work down south for an after work or lunch hour walk. Always looking for an excuse to go for a walk and I would love to show your fur baby around. Message me to see if I can care for your pet while away! - Becky I have a cat and regularly feed and clean litter box and exercise him. I love when I’m watching a dog to go out on a quick and then longer walk in the day. I like to give the animal the first time I meet them some space and let them approach me. I always want to make sure the animal knows I’m here as well for their socialization

“This was our first time using Rover and it’s been a wonderful experience! We needed someone to take our two pups for daily walks for the week we were away (our house sitter worked all day). Abby was our girl and she did a fantastic job! Before we went away, Abby made time to come over, meet our girls, and see how we do things. So attentive and caring, we were able to enjoy our vacation so much knowing our little ones were getting the attention they needed. The daily photos and updates were awesome - she even gave us some of the best photos we have of our June! We would definitely hire Abby again!”

About: Hi, I'm Scott! I grew up with a big lab-retriever at home. I've been helping take care of my friend's pets for as long as I can remember but I have no pets of my own. There are no other dogs in my home. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm a marathon runner and I love to exercise; I'm looking forward to staying fit along with your furry friend! I will treat your furry friend with love and respect and will make sure that your Rover experience goes smoothly. I do not have any dogs at home. I just left my job in strategy consulting and have abundant free time. I can’t think of a better way to spend my sabbatical than spending time with your pet. I own a quiet, well cared for, and clean home. I have a fenced in yard and friendly neighbors in a safe part of town.

“Amie is amazing! She saved the day when I needed a last-minute, late-night walker for my pup. She was super patient as I struggled to figure out my remote security system too! And she showed my pup a lot of love. Choose her!!!!”
