“Kirren was great and super communicative! She sent pictures throughout her day with Sully and took great care of him! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. I took care of a golden retriever when I was in elementary school up until middle school and am taking care of an American Cocker spaniel I got when I was 12. I go above and beyond to ensure the dogs I take care of receive the best care possible by tracking the distance they walk daily to ensure it’s a healthy distance and measuring the amount of food they receive daily for the same purpose while also giving them an active, playful lifestyle! Additionally, I am able to teach dogs tricks, such as how to sit, stay, shake with their paw, and even lie down! I am open to taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages and will ask lots of questions to ensure they receive the best care possible! Additionally, I am open to taking care of cats or kittens of any age! I am a full-time Engineering student at UT Austin and am in two leadership roles for student organizations on campus. With my cocker spaniel, I drive to my house on my the weekends to spend time with him. After I wake up, I greet him to take him on a walk around the neighborhood and feed him food and water after doing so. Afterwards, I eat breakfast and study for a few hours, where I then greet him again and play with him and ensure he’s happy. While I can’t spend a lot of time with him, I make the most of the time I am with him. I’d be fully available to care for you pet! I make sure my pet has its own space while fostering a playful and welcoming environment by frequent allowing them to go to my backyard and walk around the neighborhood. Additionally, I have plenty of dog toys they can play with and dispensers so they can have food and water in a controlled, healthy manner.
“Mark is great! He’s kowledgeable about dogs, very clearly cares a lot about animals, and he takes great care of our dog, Nina. Super happy we have him to help with our busy schedules!”
“Amazing dog sitter. She was available for a last minute emergency that I had to handle. She took care of my pups like they were her own. She loved on them and allowed them to enjoy the weather when she could see that they needed it. I highly recommend. She is now my dog sitter for the future.”
“Bridget is awesome!!! She even learned how to say some words in Portuguese so she could better communicate to my "bilingual" little Bella. :-)”
“Morgan was amazing and gave our dog Bo extra attention and care. He is a very active young golden/lab mix and needed exercise. She ran with him and took him to parks, so he could get the physical and mental stimulation he needed. I can't say enough good things about working with Morgan!”
About: I'm a cat owners and I've fostered more than 10 dogs over 3 years. From puppies to elderly dogs, I can connect with any pet. I have experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I've cared for blind dogs, dogs with behavioral problems and dogs with dementia. I'd love to meet your pet and hopefully become best friends! My schedule is pretty open so let me know when I'm needed and I'll make it work. I prefer not to spend the night because I have a cat of my own. I live in an apartment near Pease Park. I will be extremely respectful of any client's home as I know the importance of not only caring for a pet but a home as well.
“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!”
“Very grateful for Skylar’s help! My dog spends most of his Thursdays indoors, and Skylar makes sure he still gets his steps in. She’s very professional and great about communicating.”
“Paige was a great communicator, always on time, and took care to give feedback on how the walk went. I'd book her again to walk Rosie anytime!”
About: I grew up caring for a variety of family pets and have watched many of my friend’s pets here in the city. I have a cat of my own and understand the anxiety that can arise when leaving them for even a short period. I am communicative, patient, and reliable. I mainly work from home so I have the flexibility for daily drop-in visits and can accommodate your schedule to ensure your pet’s needs are met. I am trustworthy and conscientious in all my work. I prioritize the security of your living space and safety if your pet. I’m happy to send regular text updates and pictures of your pet when I visit.
“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!”
About: I currently have 2 dogs myself and have 3 cat & dog nieces and nephews! Ive been around pets all my life and love them! I’m currently a student looking for summer jobs so I’m available at any given time!

About: I have at least 6 years of experience with Drop-In Visits, Dog Walking, and/or Dog Boarding. A majority of this experience was voluntary and was done out of goodwill for friends and relatives. I've taken care of 8 week old puppies, 16 year old geriatric dogs, who require extra love, and every dog in between. Furthermore, I fostered and eventually adopted my current dog, Kizhii. I initially was fostering her and her brother, Bates, who is now with his forever home in New Mexico. Kizhii has been with me for 6 years now. Kizhii has completed basic dog training and she is a well behaved friendly dog. I am currently a student at ACC. I primarily work from home. So my weekdays are fairly open during the daytime: 8am-6pm for Drop-In Visits or Dog Walking. I am open to Doggy Day Care as well but I can not take more than one dog. For Dog Boarding, I would like to have only one dog at a time, this can include the weekends. And, of course, since we have a dog, for day care and/or boarding, client dogs must be good with my dog. I live in a large safe and secure apartment complex in the Tarrytown neighborhood. My apartment is pet proofed, with all hazards stowed away and concealed. The complex has a large dog park and many friendly pet owners. Tarrytown also is very safe for walking and/or running with dogs, especially in the nearby parks and trails.
About: Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals, from a hamster named Ketchup to parakeets, dogs, goats, and even horses. I cherished every one of them! In 2022, after transitioning to remote work, I finally took the leap and adopted a dog of my own. I've raised Ridley since he was just three months old, and he’s become my absolute best friend. I hope he brings as much joy to the life of your pets as he has to mine! I currently work from home from 8 AM to 4 PM, which means your pet will receive plenty of attention and interaction throughout the day. It’s rare that I’m away during the week. I live just minutes from a large dog park that I visit regularly with my pup, and my neighborhood is very walkable for dogs who prefer a more relaxed stroll. Frequent potty breaks, treats, and affection are all part of the daily routine in my home. When I’m home, my dog receives constant love and attention, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and affection. I live in an apartment with a small courtyard that offers fresh air, open space, and plenty of sunshine, perfect for lounging and recharging.

7. Alysha R.
“I would like to add to my previous testimonial that I have personally witnessed her bring a smile to an elderly dog face as it lived out its last months and found peace in her amazing care. To name a few more scenarios just to emphasize how special and amazing of a caregiving Alysha is: I’ve seen her go above and beyond for an abandoned litter of puppies, meet an aggressive mentally declining large dog where it’s at and bring it long overdue safety and happiness, take specialized care of hyperactive dogs with medical conditions, stay hyper vigilant for medically compromised kittens and cats, bring a new lease on life to many shelter dogs, take care of beloved family dogs for extended amounts of time, and many more I can’t even remember. As you can see she has vast experience with not just the everyday scenarios but also with “difficult” ones not everyone has experience with. Her care truly knows no bounds.”

“If I could always have Jalon take care of my pup I would. He loves to play, teach, and love on pets and it's always appreciated. Not only that, but he's very attentive to medical, physical, and training needs. His care and attention can't be beat. You will love Jalon as much as I do!”
20. Quinn M.
“I couldn't be more excited to recommend Quinn as your go-to dog sitter on Rover! If there's one thing I've learned from knowing Quinn it's that he's basically a dog magnet—dogs just can't get enough of him! Quinn is incredibly trustworthy and responsible. Rain or shine, he's ready to make sure every pooch under his care is smiling ear-to-ear. His boundless enthusiasm and genuine love for dogs make him the perfect choice for anyone looking to keep their furry friend happy and safe. So if your dog needs a new BFF (Best Furry Friend), look no further than Quinn on Rover. You, and your dog, are in for a treat!”
