“I just got a puppy and decided her needed a walk halfway through my shifts. I was SUPER hesitant to have anyone come to my house while I wansy around but I just had a good vive about Roxy. She made the whole process stress free while I was at work and my puppy Maverick was a total lovebug and even though he was still highly energized he was definitely more relaxed and chilled when I got home from work. I think Maverick really loved Roxy. Roxy will be his permanent walker from now on :)”
“I can not express how thankful I am for Anastasia picking up my request last minute, SAME DAY, after another rover sitter no showed! She responded quickly and her communication was amazing. She did so well with my pup and I would highly recommend her. We will definitely be using her again! Reliability 10/10 Professionalism 10/10 Communication 10/10”
“Tetyana continues to be the only person I want to care for our dog! She is reliable and sends tons of pictures. It is clear she has excellent attention to detail and I’m very grateful for her!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my sister’s medium sized dog on and off for 4 years, since he was a puppy until now. I’ve also taken care of other pets for friends during college (cats, small dogs). I’m currently on a hybrid schedule meaning I go into the office Tuesday-Thursday from 11am-3:30pm. Apart from those hours, I am completely free to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge dog park 2 minutes walking away from my apartment, as well as a smaller fenced dog park with a nice yard just downstairs.
“Addie was the best! She was great with communications and I loved the updates & photos. She was always on time and so gentle & patient with our older dog. Ruby loved her morning visits & walk!”
“Brandy is amazing! I didn’t update my address on Rover and it sent her to my old spot and she still drove to my current address and walked him for me. I would 10/10 recommend her and will continue to use her services when needed. Thank you, Brandy, for taking such good care of my baby. 🥰”
“Hillary was very thoughtful and kind, providing care over and above. Everyday, she let us know how Pepper was doing by sending images and giving detailed comments. Pepper has a good friend in Hillary.”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life; some of my earliest memories are sitting on my family's back porch with a freezer pop and my arm slung over the shoulders of our big Great Dane. Formerly a Humane Society employee and currently a fitness trainer, mom, pet foster person, and rescue volunteer with a flexible schedule, I am dependable, hard-working, and a great communicator. I have experience with and am happy to care for cats, dogs, reptiles, and chickens. I would be honored to help provide the care and attention that will keep your pets healthy and happy. Contact me to book or set up a meet and greet - I'd love to meet you and your pets! As I am self-employed, I have a flexible schedule for pet care on a daily and weekly basis. I am available on both weekdays and weekends. I adhere to all safety and environmental measures you have set up for your pet and home, including crating, home security, monitoring, and other measures.
About: Hello, My name is Alex, and I would be honored to care for your home and beloved pets. I’m currently training to become a commercial pilot and am seeking opportunities to supplement my living expenses during this exciting journey. I’ve been providing pet and house sitting services since high school, and even during my professional career in the tech industry, I continued to support friends and family with their home and pet care needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets—including dogs, cats, birds, snakes, and more—and have experience working in various environments such as apartments, houses, and city condos. I’m particularly attentive to the unique needs of both senior pets and newborns, ensuring they receive the proper care and attention. I believe clear communication is key, so I always review a detailed checklist with clients before each assignment to ensure every scenario is accounted for and your home and pets are well looked after. My flight school schedule allows me to be at the airport only a few days a week, typically for half-day sessions, which leaves me plenty of time to provide consistent, attentive care for your pets. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and it brings me genuine joy to care for them. I look forward to the opportunity to bring that same care and joy to your family. Warm regards, Alex As stated above, my flight program is throughout the work week and only for half day periods. I don’t fly every day so the time I’m not at flight school, I would be with your pets! I would never be away at night and can always be available during the weekends. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time. If that is something you really need and would like to use my service, we can potentially look at the possibility.
About: I grew up with dogs in my family household, and now have a dog and cat with my fiance, who is also a Rover sitter. Your paws are in good hands! I am currently available to pet sit whenever I am needed. Any day and any time, I can look after your fur babies with no problem! I love walking my dog and even my cat at times. I also love spending indoor quality time with them. It’s all up to what the fur babies want.
About: I’ve had years of experience with pet-sitting and love giving pets the love and care they deserve! I have experience with numerous dog breeds of all sizes and ages as well as kitties with various types of needs. I love to take pups on a long walk or just give them company throughout the day for you. Located in ATX. I’ve always had at least one dog at home, and currently have 2 rescue pups of my own! Both of my dogs have a history of heartworms, so I am familiar with giving pups medication and managing kennel rest if needed. I am a newly graduated doctoral student at UT Austin and am available to do drop-ins or walks for your pet throughout the week before starting fellowship in September. I'm willing to work with you to fit your pets' needs in my schedule. Caring for pets involves prioritizing their safety and ensuring a consistent routine. I understand that some pets might take some time to warm up to a new person. I make sure to respect owners' spaces and adhere to any specific instructions or routines the owner provides.
“Duckie seemed to love her walks with Zachary! He made extra effort to make sure she was comfortable and cared for. He is also communicative and responsive.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have cared for them through family and roommates. I regularly watch my sister’s dog and, for six months, cared for two dogs and two cats while my roommate worked long hours. Because I work from home, I can give pets consistent attention, walks, and playtime so they’re never lonely. I treat every dog like my own—with patience, affection, and a focus on their well-being. I work from home Monday–Friday, so I have plenty of time to play with and care for pups throughout the day. Boarding is available anytime during the week, and on weekends after 3 PM. I’m flexible, but please contact me to confirm my schedule before booking so we can make sure it’s a perfect fit. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. At home or in a client’s home, I spend quality time with them, give plenty of playtime, and walk them at least twice a day. I always keep fresh water available, follow their feeding routines, and pay attention to their needs so they feel happy and cared for.
“Michelle was great! She was quick to reply to our booking request, patient with our slow and stubborn little guy, fed him dinner for us on her walk visit, and left thorough feedback for us in his Rover card. Big thanks!”

“Sofia is the best dog walker ever! She has spent a lot of time with our dog Alfie and always treats him like it’s her dog. He runs to her every time he sees her and can’t wait to spend time with her, and he’s always tired out after. Highly recommend.”

Ashli M.
“Ashli's incredible! She loves animals, and she's so sweet with them. I was out of town for a week, and she took such great care of my boys. I loved getting updates while I was gone! Photos and quick texts letting me know they were safe and sound made my day, and let me know they were in great hands. I don't know who else I would go to after she set the bar so high! The absolute BEST!”
Alexander P.
“We’ve known Alex Parsons for years, and if our dogs could write this review themselves, it’d just be a chorus of tail wags and happy howls. Alex is the Houdini handler—our pups are escape artists, but he’s the only one who can outsmart them (and that includes us). We trust him implicitly—not just with our dogs, but with our house, our alarm system, and that one squeaky toy we can never find. Alex is the gold standard of dog walkers: reliable, kind, and somehow always leaves our dogs calmer than he found them. We wouldn’t trust anyone else.”

Sofia O.
“Having known Sofia for three years, I have come to discover that she is an amazing person and devout pet lover! Sofia loves all three of her own pets and is always making sure they are as happy and healthy as possible! Since joining Rover, Sofia has excitingly told me about the pets she has been caring for. She even inspired me to join Rover myself! I can tell that with each pet, Sofia takes her time to understand their needs. Upon her visits, I also know that Sofia is thorough in ensuring that all pets are taken care of, per the instructions of their owners. Whenever Sofia has the chance to do a repeat visit, she's told me about how excited she is to see their pets again. Overall, Sofia is an incredibly sweet and responsible caretaker for pets and anyone would be like to have her services!”

- Start and stop times
- A map of their walk with total distance
- Pee, poo, food, and water breaks
- Cute photos and a personalized note
