About: I have worked in the pet industry for 16+ years. I have worked as a tech assistant, kennel worker, dog walker and caretaker in 2 veterinary practices. I have owned an operated a small dog grooming business. I have boarded many of my clients dogs in my residence. I am reliable, trustworthy, kind, compassionate and funny. I have a little Yorkie that is truly my heart! I adore him and could not imagine life without him. I LOVE dogs! I always treat any dog that is in my care as if they were my own. They are a part of the family and I can assure you that this is how they will be treated in my care. I consider it an honor to be able to take care of doggies.
“Valerie was absolutely fantastic! We needed a last-minute booking and she really came through for us. She did a few drop-in visits, was always punctual, and sent us pictures of the pups so we could see how they were doing. On her way out, she even picked up a package for us which was helpful not having them out on the porch. She even left a little goodie bag for the dogs which we thought was a very thoughtful touch. We highly recommend her and would happily book her again!”

“James is simply the BEST! Our little old cat, Bella doesn't make friends easily and she took to him right away. James went above and beyond providing the best care to put our minds at ease. He also sent the the best pictures. We will definitely be asking him back to visit Bella.”
“Excellent communication. Very quick to respond. I just moved to Austin from West coast, and Gil came through for me, last minute to walk my dog M-F this past week. He did a great job and followed all my instructions perfectly. Thank you sir!!! highly recommended, will continue to have him walking my dog.”

About: Caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a kid, from checking in on a neighbor’s pet to hosting overnight stays. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments—senior pets are especially dear to me—understanding the extra care and attention they often need. From gentle routines to specialized care, I’m experienced in making sure older pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. No matter your pet’s age or needs, I provide a calm, caring environment where they’ll feel right at home. I currently have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means plenty of time to care for your pups! Whether they need overnight boarding or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I’m available for overnight stays starting at 4 PM—happy to provide a cozy, caring environment while you’re away! Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities! My apartment complex features a spacious, well-maintained dog park with a wonderful community of dogs and pet parents—perfect for social pups who love to play. But if your furry friend prefers a quieter experience, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m comfortable providing specialized care, whether that means crating, reinforcing training routines, managing special diets, or administering medications. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I have extensive experience caring for them. Plus, living on the first floor means easy access with no stairs—gentler on aging joints.

“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! Adriana followed all of our instructions perfectly and treated Chockie and Storm with so much care, love, and patience. We really appreciated the regular updates with photos and videos—it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Both pups were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”

“Danielle did an amazing job. She was very reliable and communicated with me throughout the whole stay. She came in and helped out when we needed a sitter last minute with no complaint. I highly recommend her as your sitter.”

“I really enjoyed working with James! He’s the first sitter I’ve hired in Austin where my kitty didn’t run and hide during the meet-and-greet, which helped put me at ease. He was a great communicator and made sure my girl was well cared for while I was out of town. I’d absolutely book with him again.”

“Laura took fantastic care of my elderly cat! Diligently cleaned up some vomit, warmed his food, and gave him his meds. She even took out the trash and left me a Polaroid of my cat. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in her care, highly recommend 👌”

“Page took great care of my dog, Willow! This was Willow’s first Rover experience and I can tell she was very well taken care of which puts my mind at ease. I will definitely be booking with Page again in the future!”

“Katie did an amazing job caring for Harlow while I was away! Her report cards were very detailed and she took many adorable photos. I would love to work with Katie again in the future!”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with two dogs and currently have a pup of my own. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, getting plenty of exercise, providing extra cuddles, or simply offering a calm place to relax, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’ve had experience dog sitting for friends and family and always enjoy having an extra furry friend around the house. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away, so I’m committed to providing reliable care and regular updates while your dog is with me. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work a flexible schedule and am able to work from home on Fridays. Because of that flexibility, I can often adjust my schedule to meet a dog’s needs and provide extra supervision when necessary. I’m available for boarding most weekends and can typically accommodate stays from Thursday through Monday. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. Providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment is my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a friendly dog of my own, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get their energy out. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home and follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions.
“Nohemy is great! He’s reliable, attentive, and cared about making sure everything was done right. Our boys were happy and well taken care of, which gave us real peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Nohemy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter.”

Southeast pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nicky goes above and beyond!! She always gives me detailed updates during her visits and I know that she’s taking good care of my cat while I’m away. I’ve had bad Rover experiences in the past so it’s been great to find someone that I trust. She is the best!

Ava was wonderful! She was very attentive to Aiden and gave detailed updates. She also came by to pick up my key the night before, despite a crazy travel day with delayed flights, she still made it and came straight from the airport to make sure she could get the key. Definitely would have Ava watch my pet again!!

I can’t thank Adriana enough for taking care of our cat while we were out of town. We had some issues with the gate security at our condo and Adriana went above and beyond to make sure our cat was fed and cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate one bit to use Adriana in the future. She also has incredible communication.
Cannot recommend Melissa enough! She took such wonderful care of our cat Gnocchi while we were away. The updates were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she genuinely cared. We came home to a very happy and relaxed cat and felt completely at ease the whole time—so grateful!
