Dog Walking Triangle State

“I have had Michael as my walker since December and he has been phenomenal with my dog Koda, he responds quick even on emergency visits, I highly recommend him as he is great with communication and my dog is always happy to see him when he walks through the door! I'm so glad to have chosen Michael to help me with my Koda on the days when I have a lot of work going on. Choose Michael to help your furry friend!!❤️”

About: I'm a caring sitter in the central Austin area and have a range of experience taking care of high-energy puppies and Chihuahuas, mellow senior dogs who require different medications, cats of all temperaments, as well as bunnies, guinea pigs, horses, and chickens. I know that animals all have highly individual needs, depending on breed, personality, age, and many other factors. I am a very loving and diligent caretaker and have so much fun walking and playing with animals, as well as tending to the houses where I stay. I'd love the chance to say hello to you and your furry friend and see if we're a good fit! :) I'm currently working part-time as a barista and have a very flexible schedule. I am always willing to work with my clients to make sure their pets receive the high-quality care they deserve. I make sure I know where pets are at all times and stay conscious of potential hazards such as pools, or open doors and gates. Your furry friends will always be safe and attended to.

“Michael is so good with our animals! He walked our dog, but also was super friendly with our 2 cats. He's super responsive, and is always sending cute pictures. I'd recommend Michael to anyone needing pet sitting or dog walking!”

About: Does your dog love daily adventures, or would they rather curl up and relax? Either way, my husband and I would love to be the ones they spend their time with while you're away. We both have flexible schedules, so your dog gets our real attention throughout the day, not just a quick visit here and there. We grew up with dogs and have experience walking, running, fostering, and boarding all kinds of pups, from the ones who want to play all day to the ones who just want to be near you on the couch. We're dog people through and through, and we treat every dog who stays with us like part of the family. Send us a message and let's set up a meet and greet, we'd love to meet you and your pup soon! My husband and I both work from home with flexible schedules, so pet care fits naturally into our day. My mornings are wide open for long walks, and I have plenty of availability throughout the day for outside breaks and playtime too. I love being active, so getting to do that alongside a dog is honestly one of my favorite parts of the day! Your pup gets full freedom in our home, with plenty of couch cuddles and a safe, relaxed space to settle right into. We love getting outside to explore the neighborhood together, and I always match the walk to your dog's pace, whether that's a slow, easygoing stroll or a longer walk to burn off some energy. I'll send regular photo updates throughout the stay, so you can relax knowing exactly how your pup is doing and feel good about your time away.

“She was great! I went away on an emergency trip and knowing Seth was taken care of was such a relief. Would definitely recommend.”

“Rickey dredged through a monsoon to take Zelda on a walk and cleaned up an accident she had. Great at communicating and willing to adjust on the fly.”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s senior dogs for the past 5 years and have raised a puppy and a kitten of my own. I love all animals and have taken care of reptiles, 7 cats at once, birds, fish, bugs, and plants! I’m here to ensure that your space is just as you left it and your pet is happy. Also, I love to take silly pictures of your pet and will happily send them to you. I’m a full time college student that also works part time. I’m a multi-tasker by nature, so it’s likely I will be listening to lectures while I play fetch with your pet’s favorite toy. You will never be worried that your dog is lonely because I will stay and hang. My schedule is different every day, but consistent weekly. I’ve had my lizard Hazel since 8th grade (a long time). To keep a lizard that long takes a certain amount of consistency and respect for animals that I’ve seen others struggle with. I will be diligent in ensuring that your pet is healthy and happy in your home.

“I felt so great about leaving my dog Sancho in Stephanie’s care for a week long trip. My dog immediately took a liking to her at the meet and greet. She went above and beyond with long walks in the heat and hand feeding my dog who has bad eating habits while I’m away. My dog also has special walking needs and she handled his reactivity amazingly!! I will definitely contact her again the next time I need to leave town. I’m so happy I found her rover page!!”

“David is amazing! He took my dog on an hour long walk and my dog instantly loved him. David is reliable, truly passionate about dogs, and easy to communicate with. My dog arrived home happy and tired. I’ll absolutely be booking with David again! 🐶”

“Payton is very responsive, prompt, professional, and easy to communicate with. She sent me frequent text and photo updates, which helped me feel at ease while I was away. I had a very short-notice request, and Payton gladly took on the challenge. She had my dog Frimpy smiling real big - highly recommend :)”

“Isa was so great, efficient, and communicative! We enlisted her for a walk and dinner for the first go around and she took a ton of photos and the report card was so thorough we could tell her genuine care from it because she described their personality to a tee! We can't wait to work with her again, Chip and Summer the corgis can't either.”

About: Howdy! My name is Mary, and I’m a pet sitter and dog walker with over 6 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. From couch-loving seniors to high-energy huskies that need multiple walks a day, I’m comfortable adapting to every pet’s unique personality and routine. I offer overnight stays, extended care, and drop-in visits, and I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve worked with breeds ranging from Great Danes to Yorkies and always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work fully remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to spend quality time with your furry friend throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins, overnight care, and extended stays, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine and needs. At this time, I don’t offer boarding in my home since I live in a small studio apartment, but I do have reliable transportation and am happy to come to you for drop-ins, overnight care, or extended stays. I’m flexible and committed to making sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment.

“Juan was excellent with our dog, Tina. Communication was great throughout the entire experience. He kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that Tina was well cared for and comfortable with him. We truly appreciated his reliability and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Juan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: Dogs and cats have been beloved members of my family since I was a child. I enjoy being outside and am mindful/respectful of Texas heat. Most days I enjoy a walk and it would be great to have a fur-baby companion. I have a flexible schedule and many times am available on short notice. I make sure dogs are comfort with me before moving forward. Trust must be built with respect and patience. The response of the animal communicates their level of trust.

About: Hi there! I'm Janet and finally back on Rover! I work from home and love being outdoors. I've been the go-to sitter for my friends and family members' pets for years and love all dogs and cats and pets generally. I have a 12-y-o rescue who loves other dogs, and I regularly care for dogs with special needs, high activity levels, and more. Because I work from home, I take lots of breaks to play with dog in the backyard. We go on long walks in the morning and evening and have a consistent, reliable (boring?) schedule in the evenings. I love to pet, play with, and engage your dog on their own terms. If your pup wants space, that's ok too! I live in a house with a fenced backyard, and I also have a calm and dog-friendly (non-reactive) mixed breed rescue who makes other dogs feel welcome. I feed and provide snacks and medications following your instructions and have space to crate a dog indoors (though I do not own a crate).

About: I am a recent grad staying in the Austin area! I have a rottie (150 pounds) back home and have cared for pets with diverse needs numerous times over the last four years. I live in an apartment, but in a walkable neighborhood with plenty of sniff spots. I am willing to take up to two pets for boarding, however, the pets must be from the same residence to ensure they can get along while being away from home! I work from 8 to 5 in an office about 20 minutes from home, so during the week I have time for scheduled feedings, walks, and play before and after my work day. I keep a very clean apartment. While it is on the smaller side, your pet friend has plenty of room to splay around. I will take plenty of pictures so you can keep up with your friend's time away! I can care for dogs of any size, but would prefer to only watch one larger dog or two smaller dogs (from the same household) at a time. I can only take dogs that are potty trained and able to be left alone for a few hours at a time (crated or not crated). You can provide a crate if your friend prefers their own space when they need it!

“Kaitlyn was amazing, we got really lucky finding someone like her to care for our boy!”

About: Being a bilingual pet sitter allows me to connect easily with both pets and their owners. I have a natural ability to bond with animals, making them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. Each pet is unique, and I adapt to their needs—whether they crave playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. I carefully observe their behavior, ensuring they feel at ease. Beyond feeding and cleaning, I focus on trust and security. The best moments are when a once-shy pet finally warms up to me. Pet sitting isn’t just a job; it’s about creating meaningful connections with with your pets. 🐾💕 Being a musician gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for pets. My schedule allows me to be available when pet owners need me most, whether it’s for daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute care. This flexibility means I can adapt to each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday walk, spending quality time with a shy cat, or simply being there for feeding and playtime, I love being able to offer reliable care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life, and I cherish every moment of it. As someone with a flexible schedule, I provide pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes. Since I currently don’t have a pet, I can welcome pets into my home, where they have space to feel comfortable and enjoy my yard. This setup allows me to give them dedicated attention in a calm environment. At the same time, I understand that some pets feel safest in their familiar surroundings. My flexibility allows me to meet them in their own home, keeping their routine intact and ensuring they feel at ease. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize their comfort, care, and happiness.

About: I’m currently home full time during a career transition and regularly walk 5+ miles a day - most of the time on the Lady Bird Lake trail (a personal favorite in my new town!) I love dogs, so why not do those miles with a friend?! I won’t view walking your beloved pet as an obligation that I want to get over as soon as possible but as a fun addition to my day, and that will show in how your dog feels about it as well! I had a beautiful Weimaraner named Heidi that recently passed away, but I am certain regularly walking her as a puppy prepared for me almost any breed! I also fostered a Treeing Walker Coonhound for 6mos after it was found running on the side of the road in Virginia hunting country - Francis was skittish and emaciated when I received him, but after a few months of apartment living including walks 3+ times a day, regular eating, and training I found him a new home in no time. I’m looking forward to bringing my experience and attention to details to loving and spoiling your pet!

“Took great care of my pup! 🐾”
