About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I make sure dogs are fed on time, get exercise, and feel safe and comfortable. I enjoy playing with them and giving them attention so they don’t feel lonely. I am responsible and patient, and I treat every dog like family. I also send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while your dog is in my care. I also volunteer at a pet work&woof place through my school at austin I’m full time deaf senior during the school year! I’m available during weekends, summer and holiday breaks. I am super flexible with time frames. I am very organized person. I will take great care of your dog in my home. You can bring your dog’s crate, food, toys, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I will make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. I will also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.
About: Ive never met a dog or cat that doesn't instantly like me and same for me too! Kindness & Respect go along way with pets. I treat them like I would want to be treated if I was an animal. Ive always been a hard worker and do my best to make others happy, human or animal. Im dependable and easy to work with. I believe communication is key in life. Im respectful of others home, property & privacy. I will take good care of your babies & whatever you trust me with. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies. 😊 I am retired. My schedule is pretty open. I do deliver part time here & there. However, pets come first and I'm dedicated pet sitter. I am very attentive to your pets. Notes of your pets usual routines, likes & dislikes help to continue easy days & nights while you are away.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years, both personally and professionally. In Brazil, I owned and ran a dog boarding business (Auspedagem da Di), where I cared for dogs in a safe, family-style environment. I graduated in Veterinary Medicine in Brazil in 2012, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care and behavior. Although I now work full-time in HR in the U.S., I continue working with pets because it’s something I truly love. My experience, along with my calm, attentive care and a true home environment where pets are treated like part of the family, is my main strength. I work full-time in HR Monday to Friday, so I provide pet care in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure I can give each pet the attention they need. On weekends and outside of work hours, I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits. In my home, pets are part of our daily routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and rest based on their usual schedule. I only accept bookings when I can properly supervise and give them attention outside my work hours. I also have a fenced yard, which allows for safe outdoor time and supervised play. For drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely and keep the pet’s routine consistent in their own home.
“Candie provided exceptional care for Bella during her drop-in visits while I was away. Her love and attention to detail were evident in every interaction with our furry pet friend. I highly recommend Candie for her reliability and the genuine care she showed towards Bella. Thank you!”

“Joshna did an excellent job with our cat! She was kind and went above and beyond to take care of him which we really appreciate. We highly recommend her and will be booking her again!”

“Blake was awesome taking care of Finn while we were away! She was punctual for all scheduled visits and very responsive to any requests or messages. Blake gave very detailed updates with lots of pics of our pup. She did a great job engaging with Finn, taking him for a walk for every visit, playing with him, petting him, etc. Blake was very sweet and generally took great care of our dog for the entirety of our vacation. I would highly recommend and will gladly rebook with her in the future!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and love getting to know every pup’s unique personality! I’m experienced in basic training and provide loving, attentive care. I’m deaf and use American Sign Language to communicate, but I can speak a little too—your pets will always be in patient, understanding hands 💛 My schedule for summer is super flexible and I will be able to have plenty of time to give your fur babies the best experience of their life 😆 I love hanging out and giving the cuddles! I am happy to housesit your place which means I can come and stay at your place to take care of your fur kiddos! Just need to be aware that I will have to step out sometimes to take care of my own fur kiddos and sometimes will have shifts to work. I always make sure to take care of the animals first before I head out.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! I’ve worked for various horse ranches taking care of the animals and I have my very own puppy at home. Previously, I took care of senior dogs so I consider myself well-rounded with ages. I’m currently a full-time student so my weekly routine is pretty flexible at the moment! Many of my classes are online so that makes things much easier to continue to be flexible. I have 11 acres that my puppy explores and plays on, and we use a personal crate for nap times so he feels like he has his own space.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 3 years. I enjoy getting to know the client’s pets and adapting to new environments. I can’t wait to meet with you! Currently I’m working part-time, usually in the morning. Having my afternoon and evenings free allows time to take care of pets. Depending on the booking time, I’ll also have time during weekends. For House-sitting, since I’ll do most of the care at the client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions in terms of care and food. Dog-walking will also be the same, I’ll have bags provided. I can also have playtime with the pets as well.

“Sydney was awesome! She asked questions to make sure our cat was getting the best care and was extremely attentive to our cat’s needs. She completed care that we didn’t even ask her to do because that’s how thorough and thoughtful she is! We will definitely be booking with Sydney again. Our cat wasn’t even mad we left, haha”

“This was my first time booking with Gabbi and she was great with our pups. She was able to come check on my two very energetic dogs (Jack Russell Terrier and Lab). She did an excellent job of keeping us updated during the drop-in and provided photos. Very sweet and would definitely book with her again in the future.”

About: I have a 8 yr old bichon myself whom I have trained to be an esa. I also have a five-year-old toy poodle mix who is also an ESA. I am the go to person to dog sit for my friends and family. I am very patient and kind and sill give you furry family member all the love they need. I have experience with dogs who need a little extra help in the health department and who are a little bit older. I will treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of the fur babies. I am gone for about eight hours on Tuesday and Thursday. However, I work very close to home so I can run home to do Potty breaks if need be. Both of my dogs are very different personality wise. Loki loves to play and he’s a very curious dog. He likes to interact with other dogs as well. He may be eight years old, but you would think that he’s still a puppy with the amount of energy he has but he’s not wanting to play. He’s wanting to watch TV and cuddle as for Apollo. He’s very laid-back and chill. He likes to just sleep and play by himself, but he will play with other others. He does have a condition with his eyes where he does not produce the correct amount of tears so I do administer a daily medication for him. I do have a small yard with a doggie door so they have access to outside all day.

About: Growing up ive had many pets though. All from fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, birds, dogs, go hunting for snakes salamanders. I had a real passion for animals since i was young and I one day wanted to be a veterinarian and wanted to own my own animal business. Til this day I still want to own my own animal business and that'll will be in the works soon hopefully. I cant wait for my business to be world wide so that i can help so many animals around the world. My love for animals is something special, i am always trying to help any animals that i see that needs help. Ill also eventually will be making a app to, So excited I cant wait.
“Robin is the absolute best! My 3 doggies love her and it’s very easy to see how much she cares about them. She is very quick to respond to messages and accommodate and changes that come up. I would recommend her to anybody 100%!”
Melissa dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley was absolutely amazing. We haven't left our pups in over a year and were nervous. She made us feel so at ease with her effort and care. She helped us with meds for one of our pups and truly just went above and beyond. We highly recommend her! Book her! You will not regret it.
