About: I have taken care of animals my whole life from dogs, cats, goats, and chickens. I love animals, and am for the first time ever without my own fur baby, so I want to pour my heart (and attention) into yours! I am a online working veteran. I go on runs/walks daily to start my mornings, and spend time reading in parks and out and about, which makes it easy to have a pet with me. In adaptive sports/paralympic, so travel for weeks at a time but will be fully displayed on my profile. I have a fenced dog area at my home, I have plenty of space indoors as well. If needing them crated that is also an easy option!
About: Growing up, I rescued and cared for all kinds of animals—from dogs and cats to birds, turtles, and ducks. With over 17 years of hands-on experience, my love for animals runs deep, and dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve had the joy of caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs over the years, providing everything from feeding, bathing, and training to daily walks and fun trips to the dog park. Nothing brings me more happiness than spending time with these amazing fur babies! I offer a great setup for pups to enjoy: a private, fenced-in dog park on my property that’s rarely used by others, a convenient dog wash station, and a nearby trail for peaceful walks. I’m more than happy to follow your dog’s routine—including crate training and any special instructions—to make sure they feel safe and at home. I also have a playful 5 - year-old Labrador who loves meeting new friends and is very used to being around other dogs. If your pup enjoys company, they’ll have a great buddy to play with! Feel free to Contact me for special requests or specific accommodations needed for your pup! I can be flexible with my schedule to work with yours. I have a large field and a trail nearby that we can utilize daily. I also have a pup myself so if you prefer they remain separate I can absolutely accommodate that.
About: As a kid I cared for my dog, Pixie a Jack Russel mix for ten years. I have done volunteer at the SPCA and had experience working with large animals such as horses. Every now and then I help my friend walk two, one hundred plus Rottweilers. I currently have a job where I work on Monday through Friday 8 am to 5pm. I am available anytime after five pm. Weekends I am free all day. I make sure pets have water and that the dogs are let out at least every two to four hours. If the own has left any instances, I will be sure to follow them
About: I have grown up taking care of animals/pets my entire life. Not just dogs and cats, but also snakes, turtles, bearded dragons, birds, fish, and even a pig! You're guaranteed to have a Pet sitter that will responsibly safeguard your pet. I am new to Austin and am currently in between jobs. Since I have so much free time, I figured I could fill that time by doing something I love which is care for pets! At the current moment, I am not offering my home for Pet sitting as I have a cat that is very territorial and has high anxiety.
About: I've owned and raised dogs my whole life, feeding and caring for them was my responsibility as a kid. We had as many as 5 in the house at some points. It would be an honor to care for your dog. I like to know every pet's usual pattern so that I can replicate their comfort zone as closely as possible. I work from home and have a backyard so I have ample time to care for them and they can use the bathroom whenever they want. My yard is fenced and I have two friendly dogs who can keep your friend company. I also have a babygate in front of the front door to prevent escapes. The house is also dogproof with nothing unsafe anywhere that could be reached.

We have never used Rover for our bearded dragon, Bevo, before. Once I found Taylor’s profile with reptile experience, I was hopeful she would be the one for the job. Taylor exceeded our expectations! She did amazing with Bevo and provided so many photos, videos, and detailed updates about our little guy. We truly appreciate Taylor and her taking care of our Bevo!!
Elle was great! She was very self-sufficient and followed all of my directions, which made things really easy. I really appreciated the updates and photos - seeing her with my cats made me feel comfortable and confident they were in good hands. I definitely recommend Elle!
