Pet care experience

Work-from-Home Rover

I have been a lifelong dog owner, caring for multiple breeds including dachshunds, chocolate lab, beagle mixes, Doberman, Rhodesian ridgeback mix, and mini schnauzer. I have hands-on experience providing end-of-life care for a senior dog with osteosarcoma, demonstrating compassion and patience in difficult situations. Currently, I care for a 5-year-old neutered Doberman and an 8-year-old spayed Mini Schnauzer. My work-from-home schedule allows me a flexible schedule for your pet’s supervision. This deep personal experience, combined with my flexible availability ensures professional and cozy care tailored to each dog's needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I ensure that all dogs are treated with love and respect. Letting them know they’re safe and that everything is okay while their humans are away is of utmost importance to me.

Austin is fantastic and our dog absolutely loves him! We’re so thankful that he’s been able to walk him every day for us!

Boarding • Jan 02, 2026

We had something unexpected come up and needed someone to watch Juniper. Austin was so kind and accepted our last minute request. He was quick to respond to messages and sent lots of pictures of Juniper. She loved playing with his pups. I would definitely use his services again.

We had an emergency situation a messaged Austin. He dropped everything Christmas Day and went to our house to feed, water and check on our fur babies. He sent updates and pictures every day and was incredibly kind and helpful. I recommend Austin with the highest rating.

Schedule

Since I work from home, taking care of dogs fits perfectly into my day. I’m able to check in on them frequently and give them plenty of breaks and playtime. I make sure they get regular exercise and lots of affection between work tasks. Because I’m home almost 24/7, I can easily adjust my schedule to fit each dog’s unique needs and routines, making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Does your pet have any medical conditions, allergies, or need medication? Are there behavioral issues or special quirks I should know about? How does your pet react to strangers, children, or other animals? What is your pet’s daily feeding and bathroom schedule? Are there specific foods or activities to avoid? Does your pet have any fears or triggers (e.g., loud noises)? Is your pet crate trained or used to staying in certain areas? Are there safety concerns like escaping or chewing? Is there an emergency contact or vet information I should have?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
