“This was my first time using Rover and Megan was excellent! We were at the ACL music festival and She walked our dog for us while we were away all day. Megan made everything so easy and was a great communicator.”
About: I’ve had experience pet sitting as well as pet owning. I’ve also done a microchip and tagging clinic at the Austin Animal Center. I have two dogs of my own - 8 and 16 - so I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages. I have full time classes during the week, but I am free Friday Saturday Sunday for house sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins! If you have more questions about my schedule or anything else, feel free to reach out :) I make sure to put equal time and care into every pet I work with. I have great attention to detail, a compassionate gentle demeanor, and a love for all animals. I always take pride in providing the best pet care I can.

Your pet(s) comfort & happiness are very important to me! The maximum size dog I can care for is ~70 lbs (limited exceptions possible) & must be gentle (when owner is gone).

“Puanani was a wonderful caretaker and friend to my furry family! Nice long walks, great details, photos and attention was given to my dog and it made me feel SO much more comfortable being away from home. I will definitely book her services again!”
About: Hi I’m Sarah! Dog mama to Maci (Siberian Husky) and Koa (an Australian Shepherd). When I’m not spending time with my family, you can find me hiking, kayaking, or in a training class with my young pup, Koa. There has never been a time in my life that I haven’t had a pet to care for - from dogs to cats to bunnies. As a pet owner who has had to travel from time to time without my animals, I know how hard it can be to leave your beloved fur baby behind for a trip or even just a long day of work. I am passionate about bringing you and your pet peace and comfort during the occasional times apart. I have experience with all ages of dogs from 8 weeks old to seniors and am happy to be available for drop in visits (whether routine or on occasion) as well as walks. My goal as a pet sitter is to bring peace of mind to you, and lots of pets and playtime to your fur babies. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends soon! I am currently working part time from my home in southwest Austin, making my days open and flexible. With notice I am able to provide care any day of the week. My pets are a part of our family so we spend a lot of time snuggling inside. That said, they’re full of energy so I am no stranger to a good game of fetch in the yard or a long walk. I am comfortable feeding, crating, walking, and playing with your pet as well as giving them lots of affection.
“Ross is simply great! He took some time out of his weekend to meet up with Dixie & I for a meet and greet so that he could become acquainted with her and assess how to best care for her during their scheduled walks. He really does care and it truly shows!”
About: Hi, I'm Daniela! I grew up surrounded by dogs, and I've cared for every size and stage of life, from tiny puppies to gentle seniors. I've also volunteered as a foster home for rescue dogs, which taught me patience, how to read body language, and how to help nervous pups feel safe. I work professionally as a caregiver, so I'm used to following routines closely, staying calm under pressure, and communicating clearly with families. You'll get photo and text updates during every visit, so you never have to wonder how your dog is doing. I'm a runner and love being outdoors, so every walk is a real walk. I speak English and Spanish. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and boarding in my home. I'm available weekday mornings and evenings, weekends & holidays, and I love working with recurring clients so your dog gets a familiar, trusted face. I keep your pet's usual routine while you're away and send photo updates every visit. Your dog's safety comes first. I work professionally as a caregiver, so I'm used to following routines closely, staying calm, and communicating clearly with families. I've also fostered rescue dogs, so I know how to help shy or nervous dogs feel safe. For boarding, my home is a house with a fenced yard, nearby parks and trails. I have a dog. Dogs are always leashed outside, and I double-check doors, gates, and harnesses. During walks and drop-ins, I respect your home and leave everything as I found it.
“Trinity helped us out while we were out of town with walking our pup Sunny! Our dog can be a bit shy and tough to get her harness on but Trinity seamless with her. I would highly recommend booking with Trinity!!”
“Sophia was easy to coordinate with and took care of the basics during her visit with Mila—she made sure she got a walk and refilled her water, which I appreciated! Mila seemed content afterward”
“Gianna is the best! My dog loved her immediately and really enjoyed her lollygagging sniff and explore time after it’s been so rainy. So glad I booked her and will def call on her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I appreciated Olivia keeping me updated and creating a great experience. She sent photos and let me know how the dogs were. I highly recommend her she’s extremely sweet. She’s my go to person now!”
“we have to really express our thanks for Brianna, who stepped in last minute to walk our dog when a different rover.com. walker canceled on us with absolutely no notice. She was so kind and found a way to make it work for the week, and we are so grateful!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from 6lb lap dogs to 130lb gentle giants, so I’m completely comfortable with any size or breed. I know that big dogs and small dogs have very different needs, and I adjust my care accordingly. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know their dogs are in good hands. I make sure all fur babies are well-fed, exercised, and genuinely loved while their parents are away. I work a flexible schedule, so pets in my care always have someone around. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Dogs won’t be left alone for long stretches. Walks, playtime, and attention are built into every day! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I keep my space clean, secure, and pet-friendly. I’ll follow your routines, feeding schedules, crate preferences, medications, whatever your dog needs to feel comfortable in my home or yours. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing!
“I booked a same day walk very last minute and Kaitlyn was very quick to respond and super easy to work with. She was able to walk my dog within an hour or so of me reaching out. Will be using her again in the future. Thanks!”
“Gihan is the best. She was super sweet, and took great care of my pups. She also sent over a bunch of pictures which is always great. :) Definitely going to reach out to her again next time I need help with pups. Thanks again for all your help, Gihan!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shady Hollow
We are glad to have had Trinity walking our dog while we were traveling. She took photos and left notes after each walk, so we had the peace of mind knowing our baby was well taken care of. Our dog doesn't get along with other dogs, and it was great knowing that Trinity could handle that and keep our dog at a safe distance from other dogs during walks. Thanks Trinity!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Shady Hollow. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
