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.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats for pets my entire life & enjoy pet sitting for family and friends. I love to walk & hike & will ensure your dog has plenty of exercise. Also enjoy playing fetch in my fenced in yard or providing attention & company for older pets. I have experience giving medications and providing extra care for senior dogs. I work full time at home Monday - Friday & have flexibility to provide walks & playtime during the day & after work at my house. I am also available for pet sitting cats at your home. I have a fenced yard for your dog to play outside. Your pet can roam freely inside or sleep in a crate based on your preference.
“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: Know what it takes to deal with weiner dogs, chihuahuas, and even senior dogs. I’ve grown up with all of them. I love all of them and know how to make a dog feel comfortable. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to go check on your dog! I know what it feels like to leave your beloved pet at home while you’re at work so I’m happy to step in! I will play with your dog. I will rub your dogs belly. I will feed them and give them water. If they want to run around, I can do that too. I’ll take them potty. Whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it
About: I’m especially comfortable caring for adult and senior dogs, including dogs who need a little extra patience, help getting around, regular medications, or a consistent daily routine. I understand that older dogs can have their quirks, changing appetites, mobility challenges, and very specific ideas about how their day should go, and I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m attentive, reliable, and big on keeping pets comfortable and their owners informed. I’ll follow feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions closely, and I’m comfortable adjusting activity levels for dogs who would rather enjoy a slow sniff around the block than run a 5K. I’m not currently taking puppy-care bookings, as puppy training isn’t my area of expertise. My sweet spot is providing calm, dependable care for adult and senior dogs while keeping their normal routine as intact as possible while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to keep pets company throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. I’m able to accommodate regular potty breaks, walks, meals, medications, and plenty of attention between meetings. My schedule is generally predictable, and I’m home most of the day during the workweek. That makes me especially well suited for dogs who are used to having someone around, seniors who may need more frequent breaks, or pets who simply prefer a little extra company. I’m also happy to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. If they eat at 5:30 sharp, expect a lunchtime stroll, or have claimed a specific spot on the couch as sovereign territory, I’ll do my best to keep life feeling normal while you’re away. Safety and comfort come first. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for supervised potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of sniffing around. I keep a close eye on pets outdoors and make sure gates and doors are secure before letting them out. Because I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to provide regular attention, monitor how they’re doing, and keep their normal schedule as consistent as possible. I’m especially mindful of senior dogs or pets with mobility issues who may need extra time, shorter walks, more frequent breaks, or a little help getting comfortable. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s routine and instructions closely. I want your pet’s environment to feel familiar and predictable, and I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own.
“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: I have a lot of experience with pets. Growing up, I had many dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I helped feed and care for them while living with my grandma for 10 years. After moving to Texas, my love for animals only grew stronger. Pets have always had a special place in my heart! I look forward to meeting new pets and getting to know their unique personalities. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets plenty of attention. Since I have a fenced yard and a large backyard, pets have space to play and exercise. I enjoy being around animals and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I have a fenced yard and a large backyard where pets can play, exercise, and take bathroom breaks. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care. My goal is to create a cozy and welcoming environment where they can relax and have fun.

About: My name is Abigail, and I have two dachshunds names Coco and Addie. Addie is 13 years old and Coco is 12. I love my dogs and I know how stressful it feels like to have to leave your babies in someone else's care. I hope to help alleviate some of that stress and to have a good time with your pup! I am available 7 days a week for drop in visits and dog walks or trips to the park. I can also help with medication and wound care on a case by case basis. Please reach out to me if that is something you need help with! While your dogs are with me, I will give them lots of belly rubs and ear scratches, and we will have fun playing together. I will send you pictures and updates of your dogs enjoying themselves during our time together. I am looking forward to having fun with your dogs! Thank you for considering me! I require harnesses for dog walks for my safety and for the safety of your pups as well! If you do not have one of your own, I will use one of mine that I bring with me. Please let me know if your pups are reactive to other dogs or environmental factors (bicycles, skateboards, wheelchairs, etc). This will not prevent me from caring for your pup but will help me care for them better and safer! I am typically available any time on weekdays for drop in visits and walks, and am available 9am-9pm on weekends for drop in visits and walks. If you have needs outside of these hours, please message me and we’ll see if we can work something out! I like to establish trust with your pup with treats and love before we leave for our walk. I’m also happy to just play with them in the home if that is preferred.

About: I grew up with a dog until I was 18 (Westie - Minnie) and then after college was adopted by a wonderful rescue sphynx (PyeWacket). Over then next 20 or so years I have had 4 sphyx cats (PyeWacket, Forty Two, Tesla and Cairo) and 1 Lyikoi (Cypher). Over the last year my house has had 4 puppies (from 8 weeks), 2 turtles, 2 Guinea pigs, 2 full size dogs 6 cats and multiple fish. I also often house sit for a very smart chihuahua named Mazie. Currently in between jobs so my schedule is fairly open. Like early and late walks due to the heat but open for anything. Open to late night feedings if needed. I treat your animals like they were my own. Love to play, hang out and what ever your little one needs. Need to make sure they know they are loved.
“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!”

About: Hey there! My name is Meg! I recently graduated from Texas Tech University this summer (Wreck ’Em!), and I would love to look after your pets for you! :) Growing up, I had dogs of all different breeds and backgrounds, and I have over 7 years of experience pet sitting for countless families. I’ve experienced many different care routines and am always open to new ones! I have experience caring for puppies as young as 6 weeks old and seniors as old as 16 years. I’m a huge animal lover and will treat your pet as my own! I can ensure your animals will be safe, happy, and well loved while in my care. I’m more than happy to take pets on walks, to the park, or just hang out on the couch with them, whatever the owner and pup are comfortable with! Since I’m currently searching for a full-time job, my schedule is completely open and flexible to fit your pet’s needs. Early mornings and late nights are no issue for me:) As a dog owner myself, I completely understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m a huge animal lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. Your dog (or other pets) will be kept safe, comfortable, and well loved while in my care. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, medication, playtime, walks, and downtime. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you know how they’re doing. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, to the park, or wherever you’re comfortable with based on their energy and needs.
About: Hi! I’m Brant, a 26-year-old professional who works from home in South Austin. I’m a native Texan from Houston, a proud Texas A&M graduate, and have called Austin home for more than four years. Animals have always been a major part of my life. I grew up caring for and raising dogs, and because my family raises horses, I also have experience around horses, Longhorns, and other farm animals. Over the past year, I’ve fostered several dogs to support local shelters, giving me experience helping unfamiliar pets settle into a new environment and feel safe. I’m comfortable caring for animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. I frequently watch my girlfriend’s dog, Rafi, who quickly becomes my companion around the house and—when appropriate—on pet-friendly outings throughout Austin. I’m currently waiting until the timing is right to adopt a dog of my own, so Rover gives me an opportunity to enjoy the companionship of animals while helping owners feel confident that their pets are receiving attentive, dependable care. I’m highly responsive, happy to provide regular photo updates, and committed to following each owner’s instructions closely. I work remotely from home and have a flexible daily schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. Pets staying with me will rarely be left alone for extended periods, and I can adapt my routine around their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep schedules. I live alone in a spacious 2,200-square-foot home in a quiet residential area of South Austin with a large, fully fenced backyard. This provides plenty of room for pets to play, explore, relax, or find a quiet space when they need one. Pets are welcome on my furniture and treated like members of the household unless their owners prefer that I maintain different boundaries. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, so I take time to learn each pet’s routine, comfort level, triggers, and style of care. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, crate, and household instructions and will never take a pet on an outing or introduce it to another animal without the owner’s permission.

About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. I have experience with taking care of dogs and cats since I was a child, including medically complex and high energy animals. I am comfortable walking with dogs that pull and playing with active dogs. I’m also happy to do drop ins for all animals. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy making time for animals throughout my week. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while giving each pet the attention and care they need. I’m dependable, organized, and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and schedule. I treat every pet as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routines, personalities and individual needs. I also make sure each pet gets lots of attention and play time.
About: I have many years of experience helping pets adjust to new homes. I've been a volunteer and foster for various pet rescues around Austin. I've cared for injured and recouperating pets and believe that a consistent routine is key to achieving success. Pet CPR and First Aid Certified 2/22/26 I have a flexible schedule and while I do walk and care for my own dogs, I can make time for yours too. I mean who doesn't want to play with dogs and cats all day? I've always kept a tight schedule and routine in my home. Walking, feeding, treats and toys have a time and place. The pets are allowed on the furniture but need to ask first. We have a doggie door but have utilized crate training as well. I have a tripod doggo who has some limitations jumping/walking/swimming.

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!
