About: I grew up on a farm, so I’ve had the opportunity to work with many different kinds of animals. Since that time, I’ve rescued a few cats and dogs with mental and physical issues. I’ve learned that each animal has their own personality and needs and am happy to provide what they need. I have a flexible schedule. I am able to give your pet the time they need. Whether it’s a potty break, playtime, or some cuddles. I am able to follow instructions. I understand how important it is to keep your pet on a routine, especially when you are not home.

“Melanie made our first Rover experience great! She sent many photos and updates which made us feel so much better about leaving our dogs for the first time. We are confident they were very well taken care of. We would gladly book her again!!”

About: With me on board, you're cleared for departure! Lifetime animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for pets through every stage of life. I’ve never lived without a pet, and caring for animals isn't just a side job for me, it’s second nature. ​ Over the years, I’ve managed everything from high-energy daily routines to specialized medical care. Having guided three of my own dogs through cancer, I understand how crucial gentle, attentive, and reliable care is when a pet needs extra patience, medication, or comfort. On the flip side, I currently share my home with two rowdy, high-energy Boxers and four cats, so I’m equally at home managing big personalities, high-energy exercise, structured routines, and multi-pet household dynamics. ​ Whether your pet needs structured crate training, engaging enrichment (like stuffed Kongs to keep busy minds occupied), or a patient, calm presence while you're away, I treat every animal in my care with the same dedication, attention, and love I give my own. ​I work remotely from home, giving me fantastic flexibility throughout the day for daytime drop-ins, walks, and potty breaks. For house sitting, I am fully available on weekends. During weekday house sits, my remote work structure allows me to split my remote workday between your home and mine so I can pop back to care for my own pets while giving yours plenty of dedicated time, attention, and evening companionship. ​I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine to make sure they feel safe, calm, and loved. Whether providing care in your home or popping in for a check-in, I am extremely attentive to security, door safety, and personalized needs, including strict crate protocols, medication, or specific feeding schedules. I treat every home with complete respect and treat every pet with the same dedicated care I give my own.

I worked at a grooming Salon in Austin Texas for a few years so I know all about all the different kinds of pet temperaments! I’m extremely reliable and will make sure you feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away. I know how important updates and photos are to people so we will take lots of those as well. You can count on me to love your pet like it’s my own while you are gone, thank you for your consideration! I am currently working a couple days a week but have so much extra time to care for your pets! I will plan my schedule around yours to make sure you’re comfortable. I have a fenced backyard and all the room to play! I am very trustworthy and will love on your pet the whole time! They will be with me most of the time and I’ll check in with you often so you have peace of mind.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for several years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and make time every day for walks, feeding, playtime, and providing attention and companionship. I’m flexible When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I follow their regular routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection.

About: I’ve had dogs of many different breeds since I was born, so I’m experienced with just about every type of dog. I currently have two miniature dachshunds and devote my time to them and to full time pet sitting. I also frequently care for my sister’s two dogs, who I consider my niece and nephew, a female poodle, Vivienne, and a male Maltese-Bichon Frise, Wally, six and three years old, respectively. Also my mother recently adopted a puppy from the shelter, we think he is a french bulldog/boston terrier/boxer mix, his name is Griswald and I looove him. I love dogs of all kinds and sizes, and I volunteer with Pug Rescue Austin when I can. My favorite (and only) form of exercise is dog walking, and I would love to care for your dog-child. I’m currently dog-sitting full time, so I am free to devote all my time to taking care of your dog. My dogs stay with their grandmother when I’m boarding a dog, so your dog-child will receive my full attention ❣️🐕 I make sure that the area is safe, clean, and has plenty of toys. Your baby is always allowed on my furniture, couch, bed, everything; to make themselves at home and hang out and cuddle with me. I maintain a feeding, walking, and potty time schedule.

About: Outside of watching friends and coworkers animals, I grew up in a house where any animal was welcome, so between me and my siblings over the years there were lots to take care of I have a very flexible schedule so I can work with most anybody needing service within a reasonable range. I do weekends overnights or long stays. Ide care for anyone else’s pet like I would my own, as someone who can’t stomach leaving there pet somewhere with anyone I understand completely

About: Hi! I’ve taken care of dogs/cats for about 3 years now. I have kitty’s of my own so I know how important it is to get trustworthy, quality, and loving care when in need. I can assure to provide all that and keeping your home tidy as well:) I currently work full time but my weekdays I am off by 5pm and Tuesdays and Sundays I am free. Thursdays I’m usually off by 3-5 unless working a double as well as Fridays and Saturdays depending on scheduling I may work until 10pm. In a clients home, I will always do light housekeeping and more if requested. I keep my spaces neat and tidy. I will keep pets on schedule the best I can with work and provide play time always.

About: Growing up, our home was a joyful (and sometimes chaotic!) zoo of dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and even the occasional rescue rabbit. My earliest memories are of curling up with our German Shepherd after school, sneaking bits of toast under the table, and learning—through muddy paws and tail wags—that animals aren’t just pets, they’re family. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to care for animals in every stage of life—from bottle-feeding newborn kittens to administering medication to sweet senior dogs with arthritis. I have a soft spot for rescues and shy animals who need a little extra time to trust. I’ve worked with high-energy breeds that thrive with structured walks and stimulation, as well as gentle couch potatoes who just want someone close by to snuggle. What truly sets me apart is my intuition and respect for each animal’s individuality. I don’t treat pet care like a checklist—I listen, observe, and adapt to what your pet needs. Is your dog a slow walker who likes to sniff every blade of grass? We’ll take our time. Do they need mental stimulation? Let’s puzzle it out together. Does your cat demand a very particular style of chin scratch? Challenge accepted. I’m also comfortable with basic training and reinforcing routines around crate time, leash etiquette, and mealtime manners. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels, because I know those subtle shifts matter. I’ve cared for pets with special diets, separation anxiety, allergies, and mobility issues—and I always treat these needs with the seriousness and compassion they deserve. To me, being a great pet sitter isn’t just about showing up on time—it’s about being fully present, fully invested, and truly loving what I do. I’m not just a caregiver—I’m your pet’s new best friend (and maybe their second-favorite human after you!). I work from home and make my own schedule so I build my days around your pets’ routines, not the other way around. I’m available for early morning walks, midday play breaks, or evening check-ins, and I pride myself on being reliable and responsive. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or your 9-to-5, I’m here to give your pet the love and attention they deserve. Whether in your home or mine, I create a safe, loving, and peaceful environment. I follow your instructions closely, keep spaces tidy and pet-friendly, and maintain communication throughout. I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations, and I pay close attention to details—from locked gates to feeding routines. I have a fully-fenced, large yard for playtime and potty breaks, and there is no off-limits furniture for furry family members. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, seen, and cared for.

About: I had multiple dogs all of my life and have taken care of horses and barn cats. Love all animals and want to make sure that they are doing amazing while you are away. I have pet sitted on and off over the years for friends and even flew to Las Vegas to petsit for an extended weekend. I’m currently working full time but can do late night drop ins, walks and am available any time on the weekends. Typically on the weekends I am free/flexible for any time, except the few times I’m out of town. Before letting pets out in fenced areas I double check gates are closed and latched before letting out. For any pets that are walked I ensure that they are leashed before heading out the door and do not take the leash off until inside with the door closed. I have an escape artist of myself at home so I know what to look for. I can easily place your pet in a crate before leaving if that is necessary.

“Excellent! She sent me plenty of photos! Kept me updated constantly and left my house cleaner than when we left it! Would totally recommend her!”

About: I’ve been tending to animals since I was about 7 years old, I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, reptiles, farm animals, and more so I’m very comfortable around all pets! I also attended a school where I helped care for animals through my high school years. My schedule is pretty flexible, and honestly, I’d love an excuse to spend more time around animals. I’ve always had a soft spot for cats, especially the weird little personalities they all have. I’m happy to give them attention, play with them, or just hang out and let them do their thing. I’m pretty easygoing and patient, and I like giving animals the time they need to get comfortable with me. I also have a 15-year-old cat, so I definitely have a soft spot for older animals and understand that they can need a little extra patience, care, and attention. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to meet them where they’re at.
