Pet care experience

Hi I’m Dixie!

I have cared for dogs and cats most of my life. My parents always had pets and I would walk them, feed them, groom them, and love them. I also have a small Papillon dog. I love animals, there is something so calming about spending time with a fur friend and I would be happy to care for yours when you need. I will take them on long walks, take them to the vet if needed, and I also bath them if you need me to as long as they allow me safely. I live in a great neighborhood to take them on walks in Austin.

Dixie and my very shy little dog had a great time together. She really made him feel comfortable very quickly! It was a great experience for him and compared to a bigger louder boarding setting it was the best way for him to have his little vacation away from us.

Dixie is a 5⭐️ petsitter! I was apprehensive about leaving my 15 year old mini schnauzer with a stranger. Dixie put me at ease with the questions she asked me about my dog. She was thorough, which gave me comfort in deciding to hire her to watch my senior dog. Dixie understood the challenges my senior dog would present and tackled these challenges like a veteran! Dixie provided me with daily updates and photos. I will definitely use Dixie as a sitter again in the future!

Do they get along with other small dogs? Do they require special attention and schedule for needs? Do they have any special medications I need to give them? How old are they? Do they crew shoes, dig at carpet or furniture? Do they enjoy walks and dog parks? Do they bark a lot or have a lot of anxiety? Is their any strange behaviors I need to be aware of?
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.
