About: Hi! My name is Ava and I’m looking to pet sit your babies ❤️ I’m currently attending UT Austin and looking to make some extra money so I can afford housing. I have a car so I can come to you and help out! I have my own dog, Maxon, who is featured in my profile picture and he loves to play with other dogs. I also have experience pet sitting and walking dogs. I have been doing it for about 4 years and have also volunteered at local pet shelters. Please let me know if you’re interested!! I’m currently a college student so I have a pretty flexible schedule and reliable transportation! For summer I will be back home so I can do any time during the week and weekends! I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for all pets. For home visits, I have a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor time, along with two friendly and playful dogs who enjoy socializing. I always supervise interactions, follow routines, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“Lainey warmed up to Ally right away like they’d known each other for years. Can definitely tell she has a way with dogs (esp Golden Retrievers are her favorite she said). Ally was very friendly and communicated well. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!!!”

“Aryanna is great! Dolce loved her the minute she walked in the door. She gives great Rover reports and you can tell she truly loves animals. Overall a great experience!”

About: I’m a dog-loving (okay: 🐶 obsessed) active mom who treats every pup like part of the family: spoiling & belly rubs mandatory. I provide a safe, welcoming environment for walks and drop-in visits. In short: your dog will have a better vacation than you. 😜 I’ve always had dogs, grew up around a farm, FFA, worked at a vet in high school, volunteered at shelters through college, owned my own dog walking company in DC and have been fostering dogs with Austin Bulldog Rescue for the past decade. Basically, I’ve been training, feeding, walking, snuggling, and spoiling dogs my whole life. Whether your dog loves nonstop fetch, long walks, or full-on couch potato mode, I can read the vibe and deliver. Expect lots of love, structured chaos, and maybe a few funny photos proving your pup is living their best life. Regular updates guaranteed—because let’s face it, your dog’s mini vacation deserves an Insta reel. 🐾🐕🐶🐾 Based in Old West Austin, conveniently near downtown, Tarrytown, Barton Hills, Zilker, and Southwest Austin. Go. Enjoy your vacation. Your dog will be well taken care of while you’re away! 🥰 My full-time job is being a mom, so I’m home most of the time (when I’m not shuttling my kiddos around in the afternoons). Most bookings happen when my kids aren’t home, but if they are, I’ll let you know before confirming. They are awesome with animals—your pup will probably get spoiled by them, too. My house has plenty of room to keep dogs separated if needed. I have a very flexible schedule so can work with you on what works best for you and your pup(s)! Marathon walks needed? Done. Only snuggles and treats? Check.

I’m am currently working part time in the early mornings, but am free most day! I have plenty of time throughout the day to give patient and stimulating walks and exercise. I understand that your dog is family and making our visits a happy time for them is my number one concern! When making a visit to your home, I can provide any services that your dog may need. I can feed, walk, exercise, play, pamper, kennel or anything else you could think of. In my own home I have a friendly dog that is social and kind to all potential friends. If your dog is not particularly social (like my 2nd, more shy dog), I can easily separate them from my own pups to provide a stress free environment. Any other requests are welcome!
About: I have been around pets my whole life, but I’ve been taking care of them on my own for about 2 years. I also have personal experience owning a dog, a cat and two guinea pigs. I have cared for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets that need extra attention. 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. My weekdays can get pretty busy with classes, but Mondays and Fridays I’m mostly free. I also have some breaks between classes Tuesday through Thursday where I can stop by for pet care. Fridays and weekends are usually wide open, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need I don’t bring pets into my own home, but I make sure they’re comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep up with feeding and walks, give them playtime and attention, and make sure they feel safe while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Anni! I grew up with a dog who was my best friend, so caring for animals has always felt natural to me. Since moving to Austin 2.5 years ago, I’ve regularly pet and house sat for friends and coworkers and am trusted to keep pets happy, safe, and on their normal routine. I’m very active and love long walks and runs, but I’m just as attentive when it comes to calm companionship, consistency, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for while their human is away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available after work Monday through Friday and have full availability on weekends. I’m able to offer boarding any day and am happy to work around a pet’s normal schedule to keep things consistent and comfortable. I prioritize safety, routine, and communication in both my home and a client’s home. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions, keep pets on leash during walks, and make sure doors and gates are secure at all times. I’m respectful of each pet’s space and needs and keep a clean, calm environment. I also provide regular updates so owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals! I grew up with dogs and cats, cared for roommates’ pets in college, and often take my sister’s dog on walks or help care for her pets when she’s away. I don’t have time for a pet of my own right now, so I truly enjoy giving that love, energy, and attention to the animals I care for! I’m currently in school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I love filling my open days with walks, check-ins, and pet care, and I’m happy to accommodate different routines and time needs. My flexible days allow me to give pets plenty of attention, movement, and care throughout the day. I care for pets in others’ homes by following their routines as closely as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and companionship, depending on the service. I’m respectful of each home, keep spaces clean, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Great! I received a few pictures of my dog on the walk which is wonderful. Quick response to my booking even though I did it later in the evening the night before. Thank you!”

“Otto really enjoyed his walks with David. Otto was very excited every time David came to walk him. David was flexible, punctual, and highly communicative. We would definitely hire David again to walk Otto.”


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.

About: Hey y'all! I’m Jacob, a full time professional pet care provider based in Austin, TX. With a background in Behavioral Therapy (Applied Behavioral Analysis), I specialize in structured, behavior aware care for dogs of all personalities, including anxious, reactive, high energy, and multi-pet households. With experience caring for 100+ pets, I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment where your dog feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. This isn’t a side gig for me, it’s what I do full-time. That means your pet gets reliable, attentive care from someone who treats this as a profession, not a hobby. I’m available full-time and schedule my days intentionally to support each pet’s routine. I offer flexible availability, consistent timing, and a calm, reliable approach that helps pets feel secure and comfortable. Each sit, stay, and visit will be tailored to your pet's needs! Safety, structure, and awareness are at the core of how I care for pets. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and environment to ensure each pet feels secure and supported. In my home, I maintain a calm, clean space with controlled introductions and supervision at all times. I’m mindful of doors, leashes, and boundaries to prevent escapes or overstimulation. I also have a fenced yard for safe potty breaks and access to nearby trails for longer, structured walks. Dogs are never off-leash outside unless in a familiar, fully secured fenced area. I keep my group sizes intentionally small (typically no more than 2–3 dogs at a time) and only pair dogs that are comfortable with one another, so each pet still receives individualized attention in a low-stress environment. In clients’ homes, I follow established routines closely and respect each pet’s environment, keeping consistency to reduce stress. I provide attentive care, clear communication, and proactive updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I like to start with a meet & greet to ensure it’s a great fit for everyone. Please share any behavioral, medical, or routine details in advance so I can provide the best care possible. I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and a calm environment, and I’m happy to answer any questions before booking!
Old West Austin dog parents share their Rover experiences
John was wonderful with my dog. They were communicative, reliable, and made me feel completely at ease. I got updates, photos, and could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I’d absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

She is great. I don’t ever have to worry with Emily as my Walker. She is always on time and reliable, leaves a great note of the day, and my dog seems to be happy during his walks. I asked if he could be walked further as I noticed his energy was a bit high and she adjusted accordingly. Absolutely great and would recommend to anyone looking for a walker!

Jae has been a wonderful caretaker for my dog Newt. When she says that she lets animals approach on their own terms, and never forces an action, Jae MEANS it. My boy has been happy and calm every day I come home from work since the very first visit, and I feel secure about medication time thanks to their attention to detail.
