“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!”


“Thank you Aryanna! I appreciate you very much for taking Notch out. And I appreciate the thoughtful questions you asked about him on our call. I can tell you take great care in making sure our pets get the best treatment during your visits!”


About: Animal lover willing to spend time and give love to pets of all kinds! Have had experience watching other peoples animals, both cats and dogs, long and short term. Have taken on responsibilities such as walks, baths, grooming, playtime, and more. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so it will be likely for me to be able to accommodate everyone! I am available both weekends and weekdays, from earlier in the morning to later into the evening.

“Last minute booking to walk my corgi puppy while I'm sick. Christine did an amazing job even refilled my dog's water bowl for me and wiped my doggies paws. Couldn't be anymore happier with the service. Thank you again!”


“Julia went above and beyond to take care of Eevee. She was very compassionate and flexible to give him the best care. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.”


“Madeline was so prompt and thoughtful in her care for Cooper! The detailed walk recaps and photos mean so much to me when I’m stuck at work away from home. I will absolutely re-book.”


About: I have been a Rover client for 2 years now, and I have fallen in love with this service. I would love to care for your furry friend! I will show your dog the love, care, and affection that I expect towards my own dogs. I have ample puppy experience (raised my Bernese Mountain Dog from when he was 9 weeks old), and have received professional training in proper e-collar usage. I have experience working with reactive dogs as well. I can’t wait to meet your pup(s)! I work Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:30pm. I am available before or after work for drop-ins, and weekends for housesitting. Please check my calendar for my most updated availability! I am extremely respectful of other peoples’ homes. I will treat your space like it’s my own! I always take extensive notes on each client’s needs in order to provide the best care possible.

About: In the spirit of helping thy neighbor, I’ve been taking care of furry friends since childhood. I’m physically strong, so strong dogs don’t bother me; and responsible & responsive. I’m a former babysitter and also a photographer, so you’ll get cute photo updates and know your pet is in safe hands. Reach out to me! 🩵 I’m available Monday-Friday mostly midday-evening! Ideally looking for a recurring walking role that will get me outdoors and keep me active during the workweek. I’m open to anything! Shoot me a message. My childhood dogs and foster dogs get luxury treatment: reliable morning & evening food routine, meals with fresh/canned chicken, medicine in pill pockets or cheese, and both inside and outside chill access. My house has a yard for outside enrichment and puzzle toys for inside enrichment. On walks, I award treats for exemplary behavior (if brought or provided). Dogs are treated really well, because they are our best friends.

“Jenna was so sweet with my mini Aussie Bucket. He is anxious & shy so when I got home and he was happy and taken care of -it made me feel so relieved that I found a good Walker! Will be booking her regularly!”


“Laura was on time and communicative! She sent pictures of the walk which brightened up my day. Poppy clearly loves having her! She’s incredibly reliable and I highly recommend her as a dog walker!”


About: Animals have been a big part of my life growing up and I love making connections with them. I did some pet sitting during high school and through college. I have two animals of my own and I love them so much. I work from home full time so I can provide exercise and play time often to make sure your animals are happy and healthy with my flexible schedule. I work from home and can bring my laptop anywhere. I need to be more active during my day instead of sitting and this would provide me a way to get moving! Mutually beneficial! I have a fob access secure apartment. I am surrounded by a lot of walkable areas and parks. my own animals are on a feeding schedule so I can easily follow others. Giving animals the stimulation they need is important to me.

About: I've helped take care of family pets since I was 10 years old, and my partner and I have 2 dogs together who I absolutely adore ❤️ More than 50 happy pet parents across Austin know me as a reliable, communicative, adaptable, and trustworthy pet sitter! My two fur babies are currently in training, and through this process I have learned a wealth of obedience skills that I can implement when caring for your pet. I also loved training my first puppy, Lucy, and before she passed later in life, I helped care for her when she was struggling with bladder cancer. I cared for my parent's three dogs, including one fur baby who was very sick at the time and needed medication and medical attention multiple times a day. I've cared for other friend and family pets through extended home stays and quick drop ins for walks and feedings. I work remotely, so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day and evening. Beginning in October 2025, I will be a full time pet sitter!! I am available weekdays and some weekends, and can accomodate short notice requests. I am also an active person, so if you have very energetic dogs who need to get their zoomies out, I am more than happy to take them on runs, long walks, or play fetch with them! I have a keen attention to detail and am very particular about how I care for myself, my dogs, and my home, so you can rest assured that I will care for your pet exactly as instructed! I am also very safety minded and will make sure to protect your pet, other animals, and other people they may interact with when in my care.

About: Having pets all my life, I now offer the joy of hosting your fur babies in my South Austin home with big, fenced in backyard with tall shade trees. Great streets for walking. Only host a few pets at a time. My little maltipoo, Daisy, loves doggie friends to visit and play! I'm home most of time & will give lots of love and attention to your fur babies. I send fun, candid photos thru the visit & give daily updates. Free Meet and Greets are welcome If allowed, I offer homemade, all natural treats too! I also do Drop Ins at your place for unique pets like a tortoise and raccoons...! I grew up on farms and the bayou and love all animals! I work from home and have plenty of time to cater to your pets. I walk poochies twice per day and let them play in my big, fenced in backyard. My schedule is very flexible. And I'm located with easy access to Hwy 71, 360 and Mopac for easy drop-offs. I have one small pooch, Daisy, who is a 13 lb Malti-poo. Very calm and loves new dog friends to play with! Happy to follow your feeding and walking directions. My neighborhood is great for walking doggies and I have a dog stroller if needed for pups challenged with walking but still wants to "go for a spin" outside of the house.

Madison B.
“I've seen Maddy care for multiple dogs over the years that I've known her, and as an experienced Rover sitter myself, I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any dog owner. She has experience with reactive dogs, puppies, dog illness and administering medication, basic training, and a myriad of other scenarios. You can be very assured your pup is in capable hands. As a dog owner herself, Maddy is extremely mindful and attuned to a dog's individual needs. And, she is patient and dedicated to their care. She is very active and loves to walk, hike, and run, so she will have no problem providing appropriate exercise for your dog! Maddy is extremely responsible, organized, and clean so she would make an excellent house guest or drop in visit. I can't recommend Maddy enough!”

Lillian M.Star Sitter
“Lillian did an AMAZING job taking care of our 3 fur babies in our home for 11 days while we were on a cruise. We have three dogs and one of them was very sick with cancer and needed special food, medicine, care, and attention. Lillian followed all of my detailed instructions to a T. Lillian also watered all of our plants as instructed and took great care of our house, leaving it spotlessly clean. Lillian sent us photos daily and did not hesitate to ask questions as they came up. Lillian LOVES animals and is very nurturing and affectionate. We have employed her as our Dog Sitter, house sitter, and dog walker several times since that trip.”

My dogs Chip, Dale, and Punky run to her front door when I drop them off. That says A LOT! They are loved, and well cared for ,and I never worry for one second when I'm out of town and they are with Denise. In addition she bakes homemade dog treats and is really one of the most caring pup moms I have ever met. You'll be lucky to have her!”
