“I've got a senior dog with health issues who has been wearing the cone of shame. Jackson never gave up and continuously showed up to take care of my pup, make sure her needs were met until she adjusted just fine. Working odd hours is stressful, but knowing my pup is being taking care of with consistent care has helped me so much. Also, his communication is clear and he's very friendly!”


“Parker was great with Hank! Showed up every day on time and the entire process was seamless so I never had to worry. I’ll definitely be using Parker for future walks and I highly recommend to other owners. Thanks Parker!”


“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’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and coworkers over the last several years and I enjoy every moment of it! I will take great care of your fur baby. I work downtown Austin from 9am to 4:00pm Monday to Friday. I have the ability to go home for lunch to walk the pup if needed. I have a fenced yard and dog park in my neighborhood. I live alone with no other pets so your dog will be top priority.

About: I love dogs, and animals in general. I think it is my empathetic nature that gives me an ability to understand them and their needs. I have taken care of many dogs from chihuahuas, to dobermans, to bulldogs; I love them all. I especially love big dogs because I believe they are the most playful ones, but small ones are equally adorable. I like to stay active and go outside as much as possible. I like to take dogs to local dog parks and trails for them to make doggy friends and to enjoy nature. I don’t mind at all spending my free time by taking great care of your dog(s) and having fun with them! I am currently doing college but I keep my schedule very flexible. I am usually free anytime on weekends and during holidays. From previous employments I have learned to be flexible with my schedule and how to balance work with school. I give the dogs I take care of my undivided attention. I treat them as if they were my own because at the end of the day they are animals, creatures that I know need care and attention.

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.

About: Active, caring, and dedicated to making pets feel safe, loved, and happy. Your pup will enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of attention tailored to their needs. I work full-time from home, which means I’m here to give plenty of attention to your pet throughout the day. I’m currently in the process of bringing my own dog from Brazil, so caring for other dogs has been a joyful and comforting experience while I wait for my furry best friend to join me. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and only care for one or two dogs at a time, whether boarding or providing day care, to ensure focused, responsible attention. I live in a ground-floor condo with a secure, fenced area for safe walks within the property.

About: I was raised to have a reverence for all nature by ecologist parents. My special love in the animal world is cats, but I've also owned or cared for dogs, frogs, Madagascan hissing cockroaches, fish, goats, guinea pigs, and more! (I did eventually become allergic to guinea pigs, however.) I love animals, and they love me! As a school teacher, I currently have a wide open schedule while we are out of school for the summer. Once school starts up again in August, I'll mostly be available on weekends and after 5pm. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During drop-in visits and dog walks, I focus on building trust through calm, attentive care and reliable routines. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and playtime, and I pay close attention to your pet’s body language and mood to make sure they feel secure and happy while you're away. For dog walks, I use secure leashing techniques, avoid unsafe or overly crowded areas, and adjust the pace based on your dog’s energy level and needs. During drop-in visits, I maintain a calm, respectful presence in your home, giving your pet the attention, affection, or quiet time they need to feel at ease. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way.

“Olivia was so sweet to Jackson. I had to leave town for an emergency at the same time his tummy was upset and she comforted him and even cleaned up the messes he left all over my apartment. I will absolutely book her again to walk my sweet boy.”


About: Hello Friends! I'm a reliable and experienced pet sitter with over 5 years of caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I live two blocks from a dog park and right off the Lady Bird Lake trail, so if your pup loves to walk or go on a sniffari, say less. However, if your pet prefers lounging/cuddles, I’m happy to keep things calm and cozy at home; after all, it's their vacation too! I’m extremely attentive to each pet’s needs, routines, and quirks, and always treat pets like family. Whether it's active play or chill companionship, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Currently working full time in a hybrid role- 3 minute walk to my office. I am able walk home to accommodate any special pet needs, let them out, feed, etc. if I am working from my office that day; I usually go home during my lunch to see my doggo and let him out/go for a walk. I live in an apartment complex that is very dog friendly. The property is gated and provides multiple open areas for pets to hang out, go to the bathroom, and/or exercise. My home has multiple rooms if you require your pet to be crated or would like their own space. I also live close to Lady Bird trail for walks and a couple blocks away from a dog park if your pet loves to be social! My dog and I average about 3-5 miles throughout the day and can accommodate your pet's needs as well!

Jazzsminn W.
“When I first needed someone to care for my dog, Bella, I was nervous about leaving her with anyone new. From the moment I met Jazzsminn, I knew Bella would be in safe and loving hands. Jazzsminn took the time to understand Bella’s personality, daily routine, and even her little quirks, like how she gets anxious during storms or needs extra patience at feeding time. While I was away, Jazzsminn sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me complete peace of mind. What impressed me most was how Jazzsminn went above and beyond — not just walking Bella, but playing with her, brushing her coat, and making sure she felt calm and comfortable. When I returned, Bella was not only happy but seemed genuinely bonded with Jazzsminn. It’s clear that caring for pets isn’t just a job for her, it’s a true passion. I wholeheartedly recommend Jazzsminn to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet caregiver. She is the kind of person who treats your pet like family, and that makes all the difference.”
