“There was a glitch and Sierra was able to be accommodating. I appreciate her professionalism and flexibility”

“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my furry friend to Chance. From the outset, Chance displayed a remarkable level of dedication and professionalism. What truly set Chance apart was his initiative in arranging a pre-walk meeting with both me and my dog. This allowed for a seamless transition on the scheduled day, as Chance already had a good understanding of my dog's needs and preferences. During the walk, Chance went above and beyond by sending regular photo and video updates. These thoughtful gestures not only reassured me of my dog's well-being but also demonstrated Chance's genuine care and attention to detail. I can confidently say that Chance is an outstanding dog walker who genuinely loves what he does. His commitment to providing top-notch care and keeping both pets and owners happy makes him a true gem in the world of dog walking. I highly recommend Chance to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate caregiver for their furry companions.”

About: I have owned and loved dogs my entire life. I have great experience in caring for and training dogs. I trained my late dog, Nova, from a puppy to be crate trained, walking on and off leash, and even to do acrobatic frisbee tricks. And as she aged, I was very caring for her elderly needs. I am very flexible with my availability to board. Can be gone some night for gathering with friends and family, but typically don't stray too far from home. I have a fenced-in yard with lots of shade, toys to play with, and a spare room for the dogs' safe and comfortable space. Don't worry I make sure they get all the attention they need.

“Karli was great! Our pups loved her and she was super caring and responsive. Thanks for your help Karli!”

About: Hello! My name is Hannah. I have a 2 year old professionally trained black lab/German shepherd mix named Ziggy that weighs about 50 lbs. He has been raised around children in our neighborhood and is very well socialized. I've had dogs growing up my entire life and prior to my current dog, I rescued a black lab/pit bull mix that lived 15 wonderful years. I feel passionately that my dog is my family and I understand wanting to leave your baby in the care of someone who will take care of them like you do. I'm the go-to person for my friends when they need someone to watch their animals. I've had experience with boxers, rottweilers, yorkies, chihuahuas, (puppy and senior) and everything in between. After many years, I decided to go back to school to get my Master's in Humanitarian Law. I'm currently on a break from studying because I need to make the money I need to finish my degree. My husband has recently retired and we have been enjoying spending our days with Ziggy in the interim. Taking care of animals allows me to work a flexible schedule and enjoy my time with my family before I go back to school. We frequently take Ziggy swimming, for hikes, and to play with his favorite toy (Chuck-It). Looking forward to hearing from you! I'm currently unemployed and have a very flexible schedule. Our days currently revolve around my husband and I's dog Ziggy. We typically work in our garden, are working on decluttering our house, and are enjoying trying new recipes. We take Ziggy to exercise for at least an hour every day (whether that's walking, swimming, or playing fetch). Our dog is part of our family - he is allowed on the furniture and has a large collection of well-loved toys. We typically work on maintenance training during exercise and meal times. Ziggy knows how to place, shake, sit, and lay down on command (most of the time). We use a gentle lead when walking Ziggy to avoid pulling. Ziggy can be a bit spoiled with his food and sometimes needs a treat in the mix to entice him to eat. In our neighborhood, my husband has known all our neighbors for over 20 years. We bought our home in 2019 to be close to those neighbors and to have a community. While we have a fence that closes off our front yard/street, we took down the fence separating us from our neighbors to encourage that sense of community. On a typical day, we will let Ziggy out in the backyard and look up to see him playing with the neighborhood children (around age 5) out in the backyard. My brother and best friend rent rooms in our house and also love Ziggy dearly. There is a 5 year old cat that is an indoor/outdoor cat. He mostly keeps to himself but is very comfortable around dogs. If watching a dog at your house, I'm comfortable with a long list of requests for care. I'm comfortable administering medication, following a special diet, and/or doing anything that's needed to follow your pet's routine and make them most comfortable. I'm happy to meet ahead of any pet sitting requests if you would like to meet me and introduce me to your pet ahead of your departure. I'm happy to send updates/pictures as often as needed. Although I have the list pretty much memorized, I do keep a list of all foods and essential oils that are toxic to dogs. I've been around a variety of dog personalities and don't mind being patient with dogs that may be more anxious or prone to separation anxiety.

About: Hi! I’m based in Northeast Austin and a lifelong dog lover. 🐾 I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I also have a dog of my own who is truly my pride and joy, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Because I’m home full-time, your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day; no long stretches alone. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, or just relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for like part of the family. 💕 I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! My schedule is open throughout the week and weekend. I’m available between the hours of 8:00am - 8:30 pm. Can be flexible if needed! :) I am very respectful and caring. I will follow any rules or directions you have for me while caring for your pets. They will be treated like they are apart of the family!

“Juan was able to adjust the time of the walk based on the weather which was super helpful! Miller had a great time on his walk and was waiting by the door afterwards to go again. We’ll definitely be rebooking!”

“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!”

Samantha H.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for them at every stage, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My own beloved dog recently passed away at 16 years old, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for a pet. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own again, I truly miss having pets around and would love the opportunity to care for yours when you can’t be there. I’m reliable and committed to making sure every pet feels well cared for in my home. I love spending time with animals and can easily incorporate them into my daily routine. Them being well cared for is my prioritization. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can provide attentive care, plenty of potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I am also quite active, so if the pet needs long walks, they are perfect for my daily walks! Any type of pet fits in my life, from an energetic puppy who needs extra activity to a senior dog or cat who prefers a slower pace. My priority is always making pets feel comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and any special care instructions so I can minimize stress.

“Super reliable and gets along great with pets!”

Matt B.

About: I had an older dog for four years that I love to take care of. I am flexible with the activity levels of your pets. I work remotely. My job is flexible, so I work from my home or somewhere else. I also am flexible on weekends for pet care. My complex is in a safe area and has an accessible walking trail. I have reliable transportation to get me to and from client’s home.

About: Trusting someone to care for your pet and/or home while you're away can be nerve-wracking. I will provide your pet with all the care, enrichment, love, and entertainment they deserve. My house-sitting rates include all pet care and general cleaning services: vacuuming, wiping down surfaces, dusting, dog waste pickup, and trash/recycling. My clients love that I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. Your pets are never left alone and have unlimited potty breaks, walks, play time, and cuddles. In addition to maintaining steady communication with daily updates, I provide a Google Photos album with all the pictures and videos I take. You'll have 100% all access to all of the fun moments and memories your pet and I create together. I work from home and have the flexibility to provide round-the-clock care for your pet. My Rover calendar is always up to date, I am quick to respond, and I promise to communicate effectively and transparently. Ideal start and end times for both house-sitting and in-home stays are between 8AM and 6PM, but I am happy to discuss other times on a case-by-case basis. My house features a large, shaded yard in a quiet neighborhood, less than a mile from a large community park with a fenced dog area. All couches, beds, crates, or quiet spaces are available for pets - nowhere is off limits! Security cameras, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors are monitored 24/7 by a professional service. After each stay, the yard is cleaned and sanitized professionally. I'm fully insured through a third-party insurer, plus the Rover Guarantee.

“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! 🐶”

Juliana T.

About: I grew up in a dog-loving family and have been surrounded by dogs for most of my life. Although I was afraid of dogs when I was little, overcoming that fear gave me an even greater appreciation for them. Caring for dogs has become something I truly enjoy, and I’ve gained experience with their daily routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. A few years ago, I also became a cat mom in the most unexpected way when my cat, Lola, found me and became part of my family. Caring for both a dog and a cat has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and different needs. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or simply enjoys a calm and familiar routine, I’ll provide patient, attentive care tailored to them. My family dog, Ruby, now lives with my parents, so I miss having a dog by my side every day. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with wonderful dogs and cats while giving owners peace of mind, knowing their pets will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I work full time 7-4, so I am available after 4 on weekdays, and available on weekends to come over and take care of your babies! I want to make your pet as happy as possible when you are away. I love to be outside with them and take them on walks, or just hangout in the house and play as well!

“Jimmy was our first Rover and after only 2 walks, I can’t imagine having any other! He has great situational awareness and communication skills. He even did some research to find out why my pup lays down when another dog approaches. He’s working with her on this which I greatly appreciate. I highly recommend you book with Jimmy. He’s so good with my girl, Riley. She loves him!”

Kimmy Z.

About: I have been pet sitting for over 10 years and love taking care of animals of all kinds and temperaments. Additionally, I have 5 years of volunteer experience with dogs, cats, and livestock in a shelter setting. I have worked with senior dogs, dogs with medical needs (including injectable medications), and behavioral challenges. I am currently a stay at home mom and available for pet care 24/7. I typically take my own dog on 2 walks a day and do not leave him home alone longer than a couple hours. I have a fenced yard, crate if needed, and a friendly 70 lb dog who loves company. I would love to have your dogs or cats join us for a stay! For boarding clients— I do have chickens in my backyard in a secure fenced area not accessible to the dogs. Most dogs are fine with this but I am unable to take dogs that are reactive to small animals as it is too stressful for them.

“Excellent with my puppy . Reliable . Caring .”
