“Cristina is the best there is! We have had her dog sit our german shepherd a couple times and she takes the best care of him, takes him on long walks (even in the middle of summer!), and we always come home to a happy pup! Can’t thank her enough!”
About: I didn’t set out to become a dog sitter; it just happened naturally. A friend needed help with their dog, then a neighbor, then a coworker. Ten years later, I’m still doing it, and still loving every minute of it. What I’ve learned from caring for dozens of dogs over the years is that every single one is different. Some need a lot of stimulation and adventure. Some need calm reassurance and a gentle hand. I’ve worked with big dogs and tiny ones, young puppies and senior pups, social butterflies and dogs who take a while to warm up. The ones who take a while to warm up are honestly my favorites. I treat every home I enter and every dog I care for with the same respect and attention I’d want for my own. You’ll always know how your dog is doing. I send photos and updates throughout every visit because I know that’s what matters most when you’re away. My sweet spot is Wednesday evenings through the weekend, that’s when I’m most available and love filling my schedule with new pups! I’m flexible and quick to respond, so if you’re not sure whether I’m free, just message me. Chances are, I can make it work! Good news, I come to you! All of my services take place in your home, which means your pup never has to leave their safe space. I bring the love, you provide the couch. During house sits, your dog runs the show; furniture, bed, all of it is fair game. I’m there to make sure they feel like nothing has changed, just with a new best friend temporarily in charge. I handle medication, special routines, anxious personalities, and everything in between without batting an eye. Your home gets treated like my own tidy, respected, and exactly how you left it. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I know where the nearest 24-hour vets in Austin are and will always prioritize your dog’s safety. The bottom line? Your dog will be so comfortable they might not even miss you. Almost.
About: I grew up on a farm and have been an animal lover my whole life. My parents called me the dog whisperer growing up because I was the only one our dogs would listen to. We had cats also, as well as horses, cows, pigs, even a donkey. I look forward to being your fill in parent to your fur baby when you are away! I work from home and will be with your fur baby most of the day for in home pet sitting. With to my work from home schedule, I have flexibility to fill your individual needs. I have a large fenced yard for your pups to frolic if you want pet sitting at my home. If at your home, I will meticulously follow your instructions for your pet's care.
About: I have had dogs all my life but currently don’t have any of my own. This allows me to have more flexibility to spend time with your dogs. I work out of my home and have a flexible schedule, 7 days/week. I can keep your pet at my house or I can come and go, or stay at your pet’s home. I have a fenced backyard and I can also crate your dog. I am flexible to do what is the most comfortable for your dog.
About: With roughly four decades of dedicated dog care experience, I offer more than just walks and boarding; I provide a loving home away from home. Every wagging tail receives personalized attention, snuggles, and the patience they deserve. I believe in clear communication and pay meticulous attention to every need and detail, ensuring your furry friend feels safe and cherished. From light training reinforcement to exciting walks and invigorating hikes, every moment is tailored to your dog's happiness and well-being. Entrust your beloved companion to me, where they'll find a second home filled with love, care, and adventure. I currently work part-time (flexibly) from home, so I am able to consistently attend to your pup's needs and provide play, snuggles, and exercise throughout the week/weekend. I have a fenced yard, and live in a neighborhood that is great for walking (I do daily walks and/or hikes). I am happy to adapt to whatever routine your dog is accustomed to, such as crating, furniture rules, walking or feeding routines, etc. I have a 4 year old, female Aussie/Lab mix who has yet to meet an enemy. She is a happy girl with lots of energy, but does not tend to overwhelm dogs who need their space.
“Brieanna was totally awesome and amazing to my overly nervous pup. Also responded very quickly to a late and last-minute request. I would recommend over and over! Thank you so much for your help Brieanna!”
“Lela is absolutely fantastic! We use her ever week for our dog walking needs and she is always timely, communicative and leaves us a detailed report card for the walks. Our pups absolutely love Lela and we would recommend her for any needs for your dog! Additionally she goes above and beyond to ensure we’re up-to-date on anything we need to know and is flexible when scheduling conflicts arise. You won’t be disappointed when connecting with Lela!”

My friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to watch over their fur babies! And I’ve slowly built out my profile of clients in Austin! I work from home and will not leave my apartment to care for your dog most hours of the day. The times I do leave, I have a doggie cam. My dogs have always been my best friends and any dog I watch I will treat as my own as I know they are your best friend too! Being wfh allows me to dedicate more time to your pets including play time, walks, and cuddles! I now have a yard for the dogs to play in! As well as trials and a gated dog park. Please refer to reviews as well as clients have been so kind to leave some! I am currently working for home as is my boyfriend and am at home most hours of the day! My meetings are fully remote so I will be with your fur baby all day playing and taking care of them! My apartment complex also has a dog park built in. And I live 3 minutes from lady bird lake trail for walks, but will always ask for permission before hand as I know the Texas heat is overwhelming to some pets. Depending on your needs I’m flexible on my schedule and pickup times. I can easily crate your dog if you need me too or let them roam around depending on your preference! I live in an apartment with a fenced backyard that is completely safe. I have one small dog who is very friendly and loves to meet new dog friends and my other dog is a total sweetheart and also loves other dogs. I will constantly be watching the dogs while I’m at home. If I do leave them alone to go to run an errand. I have a camera and I check in on the dogs frequently, so they will never be left alone.
About: I have had dogs and cats of my own for most of my life since I was 6. I have a strong passion for working with pets and one day I would love to have my own animal care business. I have more experience with cats but I also have experience with dogs. I work well with young to old dogs and cats. I’m currently a full time student and I take classes online. I have plenty of time to give your pet the care and attention it needs. I’m able to stay almost around the clock with your pet if needed. My only job at this moment is pet sitting for personal clients so as you can tell I really enjoy working with pets full time! I always make sure to follow any personal instructions or rules. I will always respect anyone’s homes and pets as I would always want someone to do the same for me! I also will make sure everything is clean before I leave from your home.
About: New to Rover but caring for pets and homes locally as if they were my own has been part of my life for years. I know how important it is to trust the person you’re leaving your pets with and I take that to heart. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to the little things that keep pets happy and homes feeling cared for. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including playful puppies and gentle senior pets who may need extra time, medications, or a softer touch. I’m comfortable handling different routines, personalities, and special needs. Beyond pet care, I’m respectful of your home and keep everything tidy so you return to a space that feels just the way you left it—or a little better! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I work remotely from home. That means I’m around throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, whether they need extra attention, medication, or just a reassuring presence. Having animals around just makes my days better, so it never feels like a job to me. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I keep pets on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. That means regular meals, walks, playtime, and as many snuggles as they can stand:)
About: I’ve done pet sitting since I was in high school where I watched many neighbors dogs as well as friends. I’ve just begun to do dog sitting professionally after several years doing it exclusively for family and friends. I’m from Austin and am familiar with roads here. If needed I can provide frequent daytime breaks to pups that need it. If there are any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Your pup will be well taken care of daily. I will be working primarily on pet sitting and can dedicate a lot of my time to your pup. Happy to send plenty of photos of them enjoying their day and playing with their favorite toys. The main goal I have is to understand your expectations and to exceed them. I know how much I care about my own pet and will extend the same love and care to all your pets.

Chris is super sweet and incredibly responsive. Since she lives so close, scheduling was really easy. I was a little apprehensive at first about having someone come into our home, but she was extremely professional and immediately made me feel comfortable. She picked up Angel, took her on a long walk, and followed my directions exactly (I saw on the cameras). When I got home, Angel was totally tucked out and clearly very happy. 10/10 I’ll definitely be booking with Chris again, and I highly recommend her!
I recently relocated to Austin and found the perfect walking partner for my Yellow Lab Wyatt. Although Wyatt is a sweet dog, he can be a challenging walk. He has a mind of his own and on occasion, he is sometimes less than cordial when encountering another canine and their walker. When David came to our home for a meet and greet, his patience and knowledge interacting with Wyatt was apparent Each morning of a scheduled walk, Wyatt watches for David looking through the front door window. When David pulls up into the driveway, Wyatt gets so excited, his tail is wagging like a metronome, and he starts this little "whining sound". When Wyatt leaves for his walk with David, I know it will be another new adventure and he will be ready for a long day of rest and napping when he returns. David's communication is clear and timely; he is always punctual and has been very flexible with scheduling and last-minute changes. After every walk, David posts his comments and at least one picture of their adventure. David is professional, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. Wyatt loves every walk.
