About: Dog owners, your furry friends will love me! I was practically raised in a grooming shop so dogs of all shapes and sizes were always in and out. I have three Bichons back home in Delaware, left in the best of care with my groomer father. I miss them dearly! I'm a writer of sorts so I have open availability throughout the week! I'm very active with dogs, I can play catch all day! I will give them a human companion to interact with instead of being cooped up every time you're away from home. I can also read a dogs behavior to personalize my approach and give your friend the best care possible. Since I'm unable to have a pet of any sorts in my Los Angeles home, being a dog sitter is the next best option. I have open availability all days of the week. I focus primarily on freelance work so my schedule will be updated frequently. I spend a lot of my personal time by myself so enjoying it with some animal friends will be very fulfilling. The pets throughout my life have always been trained by myself or others in the household to a point we can keep them in the house comfortably without too much worry of accidents. Outside play time is necessary and interaction with the caretaker is needed. Love to show affection to animals, even those who are aggressive. I have a nak of calming animals downs, having them lower their defenses and becoming comfortable with me.

“David was super nice and was able to come walk Rocko on an extremely short notice since I was injured and couldn't take him out. Must've been a great walk too cause my pup usually has tooons of energy but came back and took a nap as if he had ran a marathon. Thanks David!”

“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”

“Paige is great! She always communicates her arrival time and shares photos and updates from the walk. My dog always comes back a bit worn out and very happy. He is always waiting at the door and excited to see Paige.”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life! I grew up with dogs that were tiny but mighty (very big attitudes). So I am very accepting of dogs of all sizes and personality types.

I’m a college student, but I have lots of availability. Just tell me your schedule, and I can work my way around it! I will care for your pets as well as I take care of my own.

About: I'm hoping to find a sweet dog that is looking for a sweet girl to visit and walk with daily. If that's your dog, please send them my way. My goal is to make you and your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I'm extremely responsible, professional, and respectful of your home and privacy, not to mention kind of a clean freak. Your dog will love all the attention they receive while we relax, watch Netflix, and cuddle. Did I mention the hundreds of belly rubs they'll get while I'm there. That's included at no additional cost. What started out as taking care of friends and family's pets has turned into a genuine love for this business. I love each and every pet I care for and have formed special bonds with them all. I personally don't have pets which allows me the flexibility to care for yours, as well as fill my life with great joy getting to know them. I hope to meet your sweet loved ones and continue to have the best job in the world. I walk dogs daily and have a set schedule with them. I'm looking to add more dogs to my rotation between the hours of 10 and 5, Monday thru Friday. I have stayed in many homes without incident and pride myself in the respect I show to your possessions. I will take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home and surroundings to put them at ease while their family is away.

“Priscilla was so kind and patient with my new rescue dog! He really took to her and within just a few walks was visibly sad and upset when the walk was finished!”

About: Hi! My name is Sarah, and I am recent grad looking for great ways to pay off my student loans ASAP. I've been caring for animals from as young as two years old growing up on my family farm. I've had dogs, cats, and rabbits as pets through childhood and into adulthood. I take great pride in my animal care, and care for others' animals as if they were my own. I love taking dogs on hiking adventures, and I love playing games with cats.

I am a songwriter who mainly works from home and takes lots of walks to engage in nature- your dog would be a welcome addition to my routine! I’m ~that kind~ of neurodivergent.. I am adept at reading animals, and I always treat them with kindness and respect. Cool in crisis, I am an excellent person to have around your pet in a worst case scenario.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels — from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort.

I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may feel nervous in new environments or around new people.

I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

Every pet I have taken care of has always been in good hands I’m a college student in the AFROTC program at UT Austin.

I have a fenced in yard and leash walk my little tot. We also have a lot of land behind us so I will run outside with the pug often.
Old West Austin dog parents share their Rover experiences
Allie was really incredible. She was very patient with my anxious pup, and available to accommodate me the day of when another sitter fell through. I’m very grateful for her detailed notes, as I left knowing my little guy was in good hands. I would love to work with her again. Thank you so much Allie!

Christian is the best! Our dogs are always happy to see her and we’re so happy knowing she’ll be there to walk them!! We appreciate Christian so much for being so great that we don’t have to worry at all! Radio can be very active with chasing lizards and dig/catch them if unattended or blinking too long. Christian is on it! Also, Freddie’s bladder is a special case and he’s not had any issue! I truly believe it’s because Christian listened to how his bladder needs micromanaged with only a small amount of water before being crated again. She’s a keeper!!
As usual, Brandi went above and beyond with Stevie Ray. She took him to a new park today where he got to explore and interact with other dogs. We didn’t ask her to deviate from his normal route, she just took him on an adventure which we so appreciate!!! I can’t say enough great things about Brandi!!! Stevie Ray just loves her and is always so happy to see her.

It only took a couple of minutes at the start of the pre-engagement meeting and for it to become clear to me that Zach is an excellent experienced dog handler. My own experience with dogs includes training Australian Shepherds for sheep herding competitions and I have qualified for national competition twice. My yardstick for rating a dog handler has a correspondingly higher bar. So along with my complement was that quick understanding that I didn’t need to know anything else and that my dog was is as safe hands as she could be in. People simply don’t reach Zach’s level of engaging with dogs without also demonstrating to the dog that the dog is in anything other than very safe hands and that doesn’t happen if it’s not actually true. So with my and the dog’s approval, Zach was hired and lived up to both mine and the dog’s expectations. No problem.

5 stars! David was stellar. This was first time using both the Rover app and a dog walker. My dog(who is normally energetic)was nervous and apprehensive being walked by someone other than me, and David did an amazing job being both patient and encouraging during their first walk. For the next five days while I was gone David, arrived on time and was communicative every day. I plan to continue to use his services and highly recommend others do as well.

Had a great experience with our Rover walker! Mariana was very communicative throughout, sent lots of pictures, and kept us updated the whole time. Our dogs looked happy and well taken care of after each walk. Really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her to others!
