About: Hi, I’m Hanna! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, starting with feeding my neighbor’s 17 koi fish every morning at age 8. I’ve had dogs my whole life, including a Jindo and a Corgi that I raised from six months old. Today, I live with two cats and a puppy (all adopted from Austin shelters), so I’m very familiar with different animal personalities and needs. I recently volunteered with the Austin Animal Center, where I helped care for cats and matched them with adopters. I’m comfortable handling pets that are shy, energetic, or just need a little extra love and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m known for being reliable, calm, and detail-oriented. I’ll make sure your home stays secure and that your pets are happy and relaxed while you’re away. I will always treat your pets like my own, with lots of love and safety precautions! I am between jobs so I have all the time in the world to care for your babies. I am flexible based on your schedule. My cats are escape artists so I have become accustomed to making sure the house is always secure. I am always on the lookout for items that my cats may get that could cause them injury. I’m strict about safety in my own home when it comes to my pets, and you can expect the same for your place.

About: My day job at the hospital I work at is to feed my patients, groom them, clean up their poop, take them on walks, etc. I can’t wait to treat your pet with the same level of care :) I have had pets throughout my childhood, and have always taken a very active role in their care. I love animals and I am heartbroken that I am not at a stage in my life where I can commit to my own pet, but I would love nothing more than to spend time with yours. Additionally, while I am new to this app and have not professionally pet sit before, I have pet sit for my neighbors and friends countless times throughout my life. I work 3 12 hour shift a week where I will not be able to care for a pet. However, since I can work any three days of the week, I can care for one pet with no work commitments for as long as 4 days. My schedule varies, but please reach out and I would be happy to plan something. I'm mostly just doing this because I want to hang out with animals and without committing to getting my own pet, as I will be starting grad school next year and will not have time to care for a pet once that happens. In other words, if I'm caring for your pet it's not because this is a job for me. It's because I really want to hang out with your pet I have every intention of spending all my time and effort on them.

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs and other pets since I was about 13. My family has always had boxers but I’ve walked, bathed, and fed pets of all sorts! I’m a recent college grad so I don’t really have anything keeping me busy during the week! I would love to get some extra pet time in however I can! I can easily gain the trust of all animals and will always make sure I am following instructions to the T on how to take care of your pets.

“Kody walked our dog Mac for several months. He was reliable and very responsive through texting and was always on top of his schedule for when he could/couldn’t walk our dog. Kody is the exact type of person you want to have taking care of your furry loved one!”


“Great service by Morgan. She was very helpful and kept me well informed while I was away. Will definitely be looking forward to her helping again in the future.”


“Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!”


About: I've had both small and large dogs since I was a kid. My sister had a Golden Retriever service dog most of my childhood and I was able to pick up on dog behaviors very quickly. I currently have a 7 month old miniature dachshund named Ozzy who I have raised and trained since 8 weeks old. I'm very comfortable with puppies and can crate your pet if necessary! I am able to devote my entire day to making your pet comfy! I can also run out and take your pet's on a walk, pretty much any time of day! I have a full fenced backyard and a 2 bedroom house that can be used to separate animals as necessary! I will have my dog and two adult cats around who are happy to give a new friend a cuddle or an engaging play time!

“Nicole went above and beyond to take care of my pup Georgia while I was away on vacation! From brushing her to bringing her new toys to keep her occupied she really exceeded expectations. Can't recommend her enough!”


About: I have a deep love and special connection with animals of all kinds, that started with the dogs and cats of my childhood. I will make friends with your pets quickly, and always ensure their utmost happiness.I am keen on attention to details and perseverance in the face of challenges. I am currently picking up gig work while in between industries. I have reliable transportation and a very open schedule. I am available to work consistently in Bastrop, Travis, and Caldwell counties. I can do shorter term work in Bexar and Hays counties. I am happy to maintain the comfortable and perfect situation you already have set up for your pets. I am careful to follow all rules you have in place.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and more. I’ve raised my own pets from puppy and kitten stages, and have over 6 years of experience walking, training, and pet-sitting for friends, neighbors, and clients. I specialize in caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets who need a gentler touch. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available on most weekends and weekdays for boarding, walks, and drop-ins. I enjoy being active, so incorporating pet care into my daily routine is something I truly look forward to! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and secure. I don’t have other pets in my home currently, so your furry friend will get my full attention. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding routines, walks, or medication. I prioritize safety and always keep pets on leash outside. Crate training and special needs care are no problem!

“Meg was absolutely wonderful with Mika. She clearly loves animals and was patient with my senior dog. She was communicative, reliable and sent cute pics. Greatly appreciate her!”


About: Hello! My name is Rebecca, I’m getting back into pet sitting in the time inbetween careers! I’m a lifetime pet sitter, have been watching dogs, cats, etc since ~2008 for family, neighbors, roommates, and friends. I’ve always loved all kinds of animals and worked at Pet Supermarket, I have a degree in biology and am pursuing marine biology researching fish as a career. Right now I have a 4 year old clumber spaniel, Thorin, who loves other dogs if your pup or kitty likes friends, otherwise I am happy to do drop-ins in your home! My schedule is extremely flexible at the moment, including weekends. :) I’m excited to meet your fur (or scale) babies!! New Rover app users get $20 off with this code- https://www.rover.com/sit/rebecg84650 :) I’m currently working as a kayak tour guide at Ladybird Lake, which usually runs for a couple hours in the evenings. Other than that, shifts are posted the week prior and are five hours in duration. I have experience administering medication, and attending to needs of animals in all walks of life. I take a lot of pictures as well and am communicative!

About: I've watched my friend's dogs for the past ten years. From puppies to adult dogs, from tiny dogs to big dogs, I've met them all and love to spend time with them. Would love to drop in to feed your dog, take them out to potty, for a W-A-L-K, or get their energy out with some play time. I'm free all day M-F until the end of August. Starting September 2, I'm available starting at 3 pm and will update my calendar to reflect that. I respect that when your pet first meets me they might be a little weary of this new weirdo in their space. I will make sure your animal feels nice and comfortable with me so they can trust me to check in on them, feed them, take them potty, out for a walk, or for play. I'm a very cautious person so you can trust I will always have your pet on leash if I'm taking them anywhere beyond your backyard.

“Arantxa was exactly the dog caregiver we were hoping for. She took care of our dogs in a pinch with the least amount of disturbance possible. She went above my expectations with how well she kept in touch in spite of my inability to respond. I got updates and photos with our dogs looking completely happy. It was obvious they were having a great time. Her photos were great too! She asked the right questions and did a flawless job. I'll definitely book her again.”


About: I've been a pet care giver since I convinced my parents to let me get mice when I was 5 years old (shoutout Pickles and Shooting Star✨). Since then, I've loved dogs of my own and family pets. Now, I am the proud cat owner of 4 years to a sweet little orange tabby. My friends and I often dog and cat sit for each other whenever the other is away, so I'm very familiar with attending to others' pets needs. Plus, I have experience with puppy and kitty care as well as senior pet care.❣️❤️ I'm currently working part-time and some odd jobs around town, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets whenever you're away! As a longtime pet owner, I understand that our furry friends aren't just our pets, they're a part of our families too. I will be sure to provide your pets with the care and attention that they need, so that you can comfortably enjoy your time away from home knowing that they are in good hands.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was a kid, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors needing a gentler touch. What sets me apart is my calm, confident presence, sound voice, but willingness to go for that sprint and meet the animals energy needs. I understand the importance of routine, patience, and trust—especially with shy or anxious pets. Whether it’s a structured walk, basic leash training, a nice jog to release some energy or just making sure an older dog gets extra love and care, I treat every pet like my own. I’m a full time student and due to the summer schedule I am free to provide services needed. Whether that’s a morning run with an energetic lab or an evening walk at the park my services extend to the time and place do the customer. I offer services to the client’s home due to my original lease agreement. At the client’s location I care for the pets per the owners specific instructions with emphasis on respecting the household, the household pet, and honoring the agreements made between myself and the client.

Collin E.
“I can’t recommend Collin enough! Not only is he passionate about caring for animals, but he’s also incredibly patient and understanding of their needs. My cat is pretty grumpy, and he’s wary around new people. He gets anxious easily, so I tend to not bring him around others for extended periods of time. I recently experienced long-term power outage from a hailstorm, and I let Collin watch the cat while I figured things out. I was pleasantly surprised to see how fond my cat became with Collin! It’s clear that Collin does a fantastic job in bonding with any pet he watches, and my cat has since always been happy to see him!”


Elizabeth C.
“Lizzie has cared for our two boxers many times over the years, especially when my wife and I travel. In fact, she was the one who found the breeder and helped us bring them home as puppies, so she’s been part of their lives since day one. She’s incredibly responsible, loving, and completely at ease around animals — not just ours, but also my brother-in-law’s dogs, whom she regularly watches when they’re out of town. Lizzie truly enjoys spending time with pets — playing with them, snuggling them, and making sure they feel safe and happy. She’s dependable, great at communicating, and has handled a lot of responsibility in other areas of her life, including leadership roles in college. I would absolutely trust her with any pet, and I know she’ll give every animal the care and love she gives our own.”
