About: I've been caring for dogs for over 8 years and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. As a dog owner myself, I currently have a 7-year-old Pit Bull mix and a 10-year-old Shepherd/Lab mix, so I have firsthand experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, temperaments, and care requirements. In addition to walking dogs for years, I've also cared for many dogs that weren't my own, giving me experience earning the trust of pets in new environments and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm incredibly detail-oriented because I know the little things matter—whether it's following feeding instructions exactly, giving medications, sticking to a familiar routine, or recognizing when a dog needs extra patience, playtime, or reassurance. My goal is always to provide the same level of care and attention that I'd want for my own dogs. Above all, I want every pet in my care to feel loved, happy, and well cared for. I'll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I'd be happy to help with your pet care needs! I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules and provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether you need a recurring dog walker, last-minute drop-in visit, or a unique schedule, I'll do my best to make it work. I'm available for dog walks and drop-in visits daily between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM. I understand that every family has a different routine, so I'm happy to work with you to find times that best fit your schedule and your dog's needs. My goal is to provide reliable, stress-free care while making sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. For walks, I'm happy to bring one or both of my friendly, well-socialized dogs along if your pup enjoys canine companionship—but only if that's something you'd like. If your dog prefers one-on-one attention, I'm just as happy to keep our walks focused on them. Whether it's neighborhood sidewalks, local trails, or your dog's favorite walking route, I'll make sure they get exercise in an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and have the most fun. For drop-in visits, I treat every client's home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I'm extremely detail-oriented and know how important it is to follow your instructions exactly as requested. From feeding schedules and medications to potty breaks, playtime, or any special routines, you can trust that I'll pay close attention to every detail without cutting corners. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your home is respected and your dog is receiving the loving, reliable care they deserve.
“Amanda is absolutely amazing! The first green flag was her coming to meet my baby, and my child can be veryyy hyper and Amanda was not phased at all! She communicates so well, extremely friendly, and knowledgeable. She treated my baby so well, anyone who gets her to watch their baby is in LUCK! Wynter enjoyed her so much and I actually look forward to leaving again because I KNOW who I can count on to love my child just as much or maybe even a little more than I will. Always sent pictures and live updates which made me feel EVEN more comfortable while away. I also had a last minute emergency, Amanda insured me that it wasn’t a problem at all for an extension. She’s such a loving professional which is super hard to come by! 100/10 for Amanda!!!!”
“I had to have an ankle surgery which left me somewhat immobile for 6+ weeks. So my pups and I desperately needed someone to walk them on daily basis. John was super reliable, communicative and my dogs just loved him. I recommend using John for all you dog care needs.”
About: I know it's hard to leave your pets at home while you're away so I build TRUST with my clients from the start. Experience w/ Cats, dogs bunnies, hamsters, birds, fish.I currently have two cats of my own that are my children & our German shepherd sadly passed away last year- but I'm good with big dogs that are trained well! I am an entrepreneur, so I have a flexible work schedule and can tend to your pets almost any time of day, with my requested booking notice. I am available for drop in visits or overnight stays in your home. I'm happy to make sure your home is safe, your plants are watered, etc. in addition to taking care of your fur-child! I have my own means of transportation to get to your place, no problem-o! I currently cannot take care of any pet in my own home.
“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!!!”
About: Hey, I'm Angel <3 I'm a poet & musician. I take precautions to prevent the spread of Covid through our community. I mask indoors everywhere and in crowded outdoor spaces. I've had pets of my own before but I'm taking a break from permanent responsibility. I'm here to share my love for pets with y'all and hopefully earn some rent money doing it ;-)) I help take care of my roommate's indoor/outdoor cat whenever the lil guy asks. I am very attentive and love to show love to the animals we share our lives with. I have a couple part time jobs, most of which are WFH, so I have a lot of extra time in my schedule to dedicate to pet care. I have a fenced in yard with the family home I live in and a beautiful neighborhood to walk your babies in. We keep a cool environment in here for ours and our pets comfort.
About: I have had 5 dogs throughout my my life. 2 Weimaraners, 2 Pomeranians, and a mini golden doodle. Currently my mini golden doodle lives with me in Austin. I love dogs and spending quality time with them as well as going on walks. I am very good at training a dog to heel on a leash as well as being patient with dogs. I am currently working full time so I have more availability in the afternoons after 5:30 pm and am usually free on the weekends. I will not be able to bring others pets into my home because of my own dogs but am more than happy to come play with them at their home and take them on walks.
About: I’ve spent my whole life taking care of pets and I have gained experience both in professional and personal settings. I have worked with a wide variety of dogs and cats with all kinds of routines and care needs and have no trouble adapting! I am available during mid June to mid September 2026 since I’m an out of state college student and this is my summer break! I am available for most of the week and can be flexible. Caring for your pet(s) in your home won’t be much of a hassle for me! I’ll be keeping an eye on your pet(s) at all times and will keep to whatever routine you give me. If you’re worried about playtime and cuddles, there’s no need because I plan to give your pet(s) all the attention they deserve and more!
“Christine has taken my dog out multiple times and even cleaned up after her when she tore up my toilet paper and other things. She was so patient with me when trying to figure out how to get her into my apartment and so much more!! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Clair was very thorough and sweet with our babies! I accidentally had my old address listed and she was very nice and accommodating with going to the correct one. Thank you again, Clair!!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away.

I enjoy being active, so dog walks and outdoor play are something I genuinely look forward to.

I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets, I always follow the owner’s instructions to make sure their pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure they get any medications as directed, if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I keep the home clean and secure, follow any house rules, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants when needed, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring their owners know they’re in caring and dependable hands.

“Danielle is absolutely amazing with Mishka! She is great about listening to Mishka’s cues when she wants to keep walking or needs a chill day to just play inside. It’s very apparent how much she cares about the dogs she walks. Mishka is so excited to see her each day and it shows in all the pics that Danielle sends! I’m so happy to have found someone I trust Mish with in Austin.”

Simone is the absolute best! She takes such great care of my dogs, and I’m so thankful to have someone I can completely trust with them. She is reliable, caring, and always goes above and beyond—even when I need something last minute. I truly appreciate her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets! 🐾❤️
Toril was genuinely so great 😭 This was my first time using Rover and I was definitely anxious about leaving the pups, but she made the whole thing feel way less stressful. Super easy to talk to, sent me updates, and somehow managed to get the CUTEST pictures of them lol. I never felt weird or worried about them being with her, and the pups were happy and very clearly well taken care of when I got back. Thank you so very much for looking over our babies. 💜

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 Sunset Valley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
