About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and genuinely love spending time with them. I have had a cat since I was five years old and multiple dogs since I was seven, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I have pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends while they were away on long trips, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure their pets felt safe and comfortable at home. I always have both the pet’s and the owner’s best interest in mind, and I truly love helping animals whenever they need care, attention, or patience. I understand that every animal has a different personality, and I always take the time to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I have also volunteered at animal shelters, which has made me even more passionate about giving back and helping animals in any way I can. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and nervous at first, I will always treat them with kindness, patience, and lots of love. I am currently EMT school, studying to get my EMT license so my days consist of reading and studying. Additionally, I am a college athlete so I do try to work out almost every day and live in active lifestyle. I do not currently have a job because I am in EMT school, which means my schedule is extremely flexible and I would be able to bring study materials to your home or take breaks to come take care of the pets anytime! I always prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I have a pretty big backyard with a tall fence, so I can easily accommodate your animals and give them space to safely play and explore. I always make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and secure while their owners are away. I am very patient with new animals and always take the time to learn their personalities, needs, and comfort levels. Your pet’s safety will always come first, and I will make sure they are always on a leash, walked only in the areas you designate, and placed in any crate or area you prefer when needed. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I will always treat them like my own and keep both the pet’s and owner’s best interests in mind.
“Aryanna is an absolute GEM. I’ve been using Rover for years now and she is hands down one of the best sitters I’ve found on the app. We were in Austin for two months and I was so lucky to find such a trustworthy, reliable, caring, and communicative walker and sitter for my pup Maizy while we were working or out with friends. Maizy requires extra attention on walks as she is quite the sidewalk surfer (i.e., will eat anything and everything she comes across), and Aryanna keep an eagle eye on her at all times, even pulling things out of her mouth when she would try to sneak something. She was also really great with Maizy when she was sitting for us and thunderstorms rolled through, checking in to see if there was anything she could do to make her more comfortable and ensuring she felt safe. Aryanna always gives very detailed notes after every walk or visit and was incredibly communicative which I appreciated so much. She gave me so much peace of mind during these two months knowing Maizy was in the best hands and I will absolutely work with her again when we are down in Austin next. If I could give Aryanna more than 5 stars I would!!!”
“I was incredibly nervous about leaving my two dogs in the care of someone else, as one of them has lots of anxiety issues and can be reactive with people and other dogs. But Dale did incredible and had no issues. He was super patient with my reactive dog and was super mindful about all my concerns. I was so so anxious and left a whole essay of information/instructions he needed to know and he made sure to keep all of that in mind. I will definitely keep him in mind for future sitter needs.”
“Erica is very trustworthy and responsible. She’s always on time and communicates well with time changes and how my pet does with her. Her experience in pet training shows with how well my dog responds after spending time with her!”
About: With 10+ years of caring for my own pets plus family and friends’ dogs, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love for every pup. I’m committed to giving dogs the movement, enrichment, and happy walks they deserve when their owners can’t be there. My schedule is very open right now, which gives me a lot of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care whenever needed. In my clients’ homes, I always follow their routines, preferences, and house rules. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable and cared for while I’m a guest in their space.
“Allison was great! She was able to accommodate my request in such short notice and my girl was able to have her walk and company while I was away for the day.”
“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.”
“Our boy loves walks with Lillian! We’ve been regulars with Lillian for a few months now. She is dependable, responsive, and flexible if plans change or we need coverage. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”
“Jessika is amazing! My dog is a bit nervous around strangers but she really won him over. She sends plenty of videos, pictures and text updates so you know your baby is having a great time. I will be rebooking she was superb!”
“Lainey warmed up to Ally right away like they’d known each other for years. Can definitely tell she has a way with dogs (esp Golden Retrievers are her favorite she said). Ally was very friendly and communicated well. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!!!”
“Stephanie walked my dog on a last minute request which I really appreciate. She was great with him and even gave him a treat after his walk. Would recommend her for your pet needs!”
“Jennifer was amazing! Great communication, always on time, and gave my dog long, quality walks. I felt completely comfortable and trusted her the whole time. I would definitely book her again!”
About: I've been caring for pets since I was eight years old and my family adopted its first dog. Beyond the typical duties of walking, feeding, playing, and training I've performed for my personal pets, I also began walking dogs at shelters when I was in middle school, and continued to throughout college. Since graduating college a year ago, I've been hired to walk and take care of multiple dogs in my neighborhood, which I've done so joyfully. I am also a member of Trusted Housesitters, and have travelled around the country to visit new places while caring for pets. I have a variety of experience and am the biggest dog lover you'll probably ever meet! I currently work virtually, so am incredibly flexible and able to accommodate a variety of situations during my workday. This means I can work on both workdays and weekends. Furthermore, I am generally very flexible and have lots of free time, so chances are I'll be able to make something work! I will care for my client's pet in their home with care and love. I try to walk dogs I care for at least 3 times a day for at least 15-20 minutes - more if the dog is very active. I also make sure to fill the water bowl and feed the pups on time. I will also go outside to the backyard (if present) and play with the dog there. Because I work from home, I am extremely flexible and able to give dogs more attention than they might get at a kennel or other situation. Overall, I am extremely conscientious, and what's more, I am a genuine dog lover and am attuned to their needs. I will care for your dog with the utmost attention and love.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life (also fish, hamsters, mice, and a hedgehog). From puppies and kittens to elderly chihuahuas and grouchy senior cats, I have handled it all. I routinely care for pets for my friends and family and am happy to care for your babies too. I'm recently retired so I have a lot of time on my hands! I'm happy to administer medication or cater to your pet in whatever ways they need. I recently retired from my full-time job and will be mostly at home doing a little contract work here and there. I already care for my own five pets (or six if you count the fish) and can easily add yours to the mix. I will listen to what your pet needs and accommodate whatever it is they need/want. I am used to dealing with a diverse group of pets and providing each of them with what they need.
“Christine was a wonderful dog walker! I had to book a dog walker at the last minute and she was able to step in on a moments notice and go above and beyond!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around dogs & cats. I love watching my friends and family’s animals and growing bonds with their pets! I have a 4 year old Shih-Tzu who I love very much and three cats who love to keep me on my toes! I am currently a full time student so I have a lot of time during the day to come and check on your pets! I have a flexible schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly, small dog. I also have three cats who are used to dogs. I live in a great neighborhood for walking!
“My Trixie is a rambunctious puppy but Tallya is patient with her and makes her happy when I’m at work during the day. She’s a kind person and takes the time to communicate with you about anything that might come up during a walk and also takes awesome pics of your pup which make you wish you were there.”
South Lamar dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ollie absolutely loves his walks with Madison; he gets so excited when she arrives. Madison is reliable, communicative, and clearly a true dog person. Ollie has some leash reactivity challenges, and I really appreciate the care and attention she takes to keep him engaged, set him up for success, and avoid situations that might trigger a reaction. It’s obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and tailors her approach to their individual needs. Don’t overthink it; book a walk with Madison! 🐾
It only took a couple of minutes at the start of the pre-engagement meeting and for it to become clear to me that Zach is an excellent experienced dog handler. My own experience with dogs includes training Australian Shepherds for sheep herding competitions and I have qualified for national competition twice. My yardstick for rating a dog handler has a correspondingly higher bar. So along with my complement was that quick understanding that I didn’t need to know anything else and that my dog was is as safe hands as she could be in. People simply don’t reach Zach’s level of engaging with dogs without also demonstrating to the dog that the dog is in anything other than very safe hands and that doesn’t happen if it’s not actually true. So with my and the dog’s approval, Zach was hired and lived up to both mine and the dog’s expectations. No problem.
5 stars! David was stellar. This was first time using both the Rover app and a dog walker. My dog(who is normally energetic)was nervous and apprehensive being walked by someone other than me, and David did an amazing job being both patient and encouraging during their first walk. For the next five days while I was gone David, arrived on time and was communicative every day. I plan to continue to use his services and highly recommend others do as well.
Laura was friendly, kind, and incredibly patient during her first meeting with our dog. She gave our pup the time and space to acclimate at her own pace, which we really appreciated. Laura also provided thoughtful guidance as we begin establishing care with her as our walker. It’s clear she truly loves dogs, and we’re excited to continue building a strong, trusting relationship with her and our new pup. Thank you again, Laura!
Morgan stepped in to help us out last minute and we are so grateful for her! She spent extra time with our pups when they were feeling anxious and she gave me great peace of mind knowing they were getting their daily walks plus extra attention. I highly recommend Morgan for your pet care needs. Thank you so much Morgan!
