About: I grew up with a mini dachshund that we absolutely adored for 11 wonderful years. During COVID, I decided it was time to bring a dog of my own into my life—my Australian Shepherd, Rizo, who’s now 5 years old and still full of energy! We recently added a playful 10-month-old pitbull to the family, and life has been extra lively ever since. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I’ve taught basic skills like sit, down, and stay, and I approach every pup with patience, structure, and lots of love. I truly enjoy getting to know different dog personalities and making sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you're away. I am in between jobs right now with an open and flexible schedule. I am available 7 days a week from 8 am - 10 pm. In your home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine—feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles—so they feel safe and secure while you're away. I always respect your space and follow any instructions you leave, from crate training to medication schedules.
“Amanda took care of Rory while I was out of the country and she was excellent! She asked good questions during our meet and great, reassuring me that she wanted to take the best care of Rory. His stomach was upset because I recently switched his dog food, but Amanda was very understanding and extra attentive. She went above and beyond while watching him and I will definitely reach out to Amanda again!”
About: I’m an animal loving college student based here in Austin, Texas! I currently have two kitties named Basil and Mambo, but enjoy spending time with my friends dogs and watching them whenever needed. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and expect to treat your animals as if they were my own. Outside of my class times on Mondays and Wednesdays, I have a very open schedule and am nearly always ready for drop-ins. This flexible schedule also makes it super easy for me to do overnight care. Whether you’re away on vacation or business trip, I’m fully prepared to ensure your animals comfort and offer my companionship to them when they miss you (:

“We hired Zy to watch our dogs while we were out of town, and we will definitely be using them again. Zy was great with our dogs. We have two dog's, Millie who is 9 years old and Walter who is 2 years old. They both have different needs and Zy definitely made sure all of them were met. Knowing that they were there to take care of our dogs while we were gone out of town gave me peace of mind. We will definitely be using Zy again in the future.”

This was my first time using Rover and Victoria made the process easy and enjoyable. She made sure to keep me updated with how my babies were doing which gave me so much peace of mind! Would 100% be a return customer!
Ramajana is very attentive and caring! Ramajana goes out of their way to make sure your pets feel welcome, even going above and beyond by hand feeding when my Aussie was on food strike. Thank you for everything that you do :)
Shavone was great! This was our first time getting her help with our two kitty boys, and they warmed up to her right away. She did a meet and greet with us and had lots of thoughtful questions. She also sent great photos and communicated about everything that was going on while we were away. We were gone for a little over a week and came back to two very happy cats. I absolutely recommend her to others!
Lucretia was absolutely delightful! The cats always looked so happy in their pictures. very detailed, above and beyond.
Katherine went over and above expectations. She took really good care of my cat while I was out and sent photos and videos too. Would definitely recommend and use her again. Thank you!

Lexi was great! Our plans for cat sitting changed last minute and she was able to stop by same-day to meet our cats and receive all of the necessary info just before our trip!

I can't recommend Margaret highly enough! She took absolutely wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town; she made sure they were happy, well-fed, and comfortable. Her communication was excellent throughout our trip; we received regular updates and photos that really gave us peace of mind. Margaret also went above and beyond by helping out with our fish tank, which was very much appreciated. She's professional, reliable, and clearly has a natural rapport with animals. Our pets felt safe and cared for in her presence. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, Margaret is the one. We’ll definitely booking with her again in the future if she's available!
Our cats had a wonderful time with Melanie! She sent pics daily of very happy kittys. I would recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.
Sarah is the absolute best. She has always been so great with different scenarios, I found a dog the day before I was going out of town. She took great care of her and my cats while I was away. I always book with her and have such peace of mind while I’m away.
Sofia did an excellent job watching my two pups over the weekend! She was very communicative, punctual and so sweet to my boys. Highly recommend!
We had a great experience with Sydney! Communication was clear and accessible, and we came home to a happy kitty. Will definitely book again!
Isabelle was amazing with our two dogs! We needed help last minute and she was so easy to work with. She kept us in the loop the whole time with cute pictures and updates about what the pups were up to. It was such a relief knowing our dogs were in great hands- you could tell she really cared about them, and our dogs absolutely loved her! They were so happy and relaxed when we got back. We're definitely going to use her again, and I'd recommend her to anyone in the Austin area looking for pet care. She made what could have been a stressful situation totally worry- free!
Gus had a great time with Tallya! He was shy at first but Tallya got him to cuddle and play fetch, too.
Lauren was amazing! It was our first time using the Rover app, and she helped us navigate the whole process. She made us feel like we were leaving our babies with a friend. Lauren sent daily updates and checkin photos so while we were away we could see them too. I highly recommend Lauren C and will definitely use her again in the future.
