About: Hi, I’m Hanna! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, starting with feeding my neighbor’s 17 koi fish every morning at age 8. I’ve had dogs my whole life, including a Jindo and a Corgi that I raised from six months old. Today, I live with two cats and a puppy (all adopted from Austin shelters), so I’m very familiar with different animal personalities and needs. I recently volunteered with the Austin Animal Center, where I helped care for cats and matched them with adopters. I’m comfortable handling pets that are shy, energetic, or just need a little extra love and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m known for being reliable, calm, and detail-oriented. I’ll make sure your home stays secure and that your pets are happy and relaxed while you’re away. I will always treat your pets like my own, with lots of love and safety precautions! I am between jobs so I have all the time in the world to care for your babies. I am flexible based on your schedule. My cats are escape artists so I have become accustomed to making sure the house is always secure. I am always on the lookout for items that my cats may get that could cause them injury. I’m strict about safety in my own home when it comes to my pets, and you can expect the same for your place.
About: I am an everyday walker/runner looking for someone’s dog to take with me! I have open mornings and unfortunately am not at a place to get a dog myself so rover seemed like a happy middle ground! Looking to fill my mornings 8am to 12 pm Monday through Friday. I am also available weekends by demand! I work 1-7 everyday so nights are available too! Per care comes with providing a clean and safe environment for all of those residing in the home. This includes making sure the environment is beneficial for any and all furry friends
“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”
About: Grew up surrounded by pets and fostered dogs alongside my family! I’m very patient and understanding of your pet’s needs, while also making sure we all have a fun time I currently have a full-time WFH job, and because of this, have plenty of time throughout my afternoons to take your sweet pet on a walk. Although I’m mostly available in my afternoons, if your pet is a morning walk lover, I can work to accommodate you and your pet! My current lease does not allow pets inside my home, making me all the more willing to drop by your home as needed. When in your own space, I have nothing but respect for your and your pet’s home. While your pet cannot step inside my home, there are safe, lovely walking trails nearby, as well as a private pet-friendly park 0.1 miles away!
About: My day job at the hospital I work at is to feed my patients, groom them, clean up their poop, take them on walks, etc. I can’t wait to treat your pet with the same level of care :) I have had pets throughout my childhood, and have always taken a very active role in their care. I love animals and I am heartbroken that I am not at a stage in my life where I can commit to my own pet, but I would love nothing more than to spend time with yours. Additionally, while I am new to this app and have not professionally pet sit before, I have pet sit for my neighbors and friends countless times throughout my life. I work 3 12 hour shift a week where I will not be able to care for a pet. However, since I can work any three days of the week, I can care for one pet with no work commitments for as long as 4 days. My schedule varies, but please reach out and I would be happy to plan something. I'm mostly just doing this because I want to hang out with animals and without committing to getting my own pet, as I will be starting grad school next year and will not have time to care for a pet once that happens. In other words, if I'm caring for your pet it's not because this is a job for me. It's because I really want to hang out with your pet I have every intention of spending all my time and effort on them.
“Nicole went above and beyond to take care of my pup Georgia while I was away on vacation! From brushing her to bringing her new toys to keep her occupied she really exceeded expectations. Can't recommend her enough!”
About: I have a deep love and special connection with animals of all kinds, that started with the dogs and cats of my childhood. I will make friends with your pets quickly, and always ensure their utmost happiness.I am keen on attention to details and perseverance in the face of challenges. I am currently picking up gig work while in between industries. I have reliable transportation and a very open schedule. I am available to work consistently in Bastrop, Travis, and Caldwell counties. I can do shorter term work in Bexar and Hays counties. I am happy to maintain the comfortable and perfect situation you already have set up for your pets. I am careful to follow all rules you have in place.
“Rachel was amazing with my pup, Lucy! Rachel was professional; taking her time to with Lucy, as Lucy is a little shy and needs time to warm up to others. She also asked all the right questions to ensure that Lucy had a safe and comfortable experience; even coming early on the first walk to make sure Lucy was comfortable with her. By the time they came back, Lucy was wagging her tail and all smiles. All the proof needed. I will definitely rebook!”
“Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!”
About: I've been a pet care giver since I convinced my parents to let me get mice when I was 5 years old (shoutout Pickles and Shooting Star✨). Since then, I've loved dogs of my own and family pets. Now, I am the proud cat owner of 4 years to a sweet little orange tabby. My friends and I often dog and cat sit for each other whenever the other is away, so I'm very familiar with attending to others' pets needs. Plus, I have experience with puppy and kitty care as well as senior pet care.❣️❤️ I'm currently working part-time and some odd jobs around town, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets whenever you're away! As a longtime pet owner, I understand that our furry friends aren't just our pets, they're a part of our families too. I will be sure to provide your pets with the care and attention that they need, so that you can comfortably enjoy your time away from home knowing that they are in good hands.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, whether they were part of my family or in the homes my mom cleaned. The best part of my day was seeing a pet eagerly waiting with a wagging tail and treats in hand. Since I was young teen, pet owners have entrusted me to care for their furry friends whether it’s walking them or playing together. I have a knack for quickly connecting with dogs, making them feel safe and loved. My goal is to ensure every pet I care for is happy and well-cared for, reflecting the trust owners have placed in me. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine given my current schedule. As a senior in high school who has completed all my credits, I have the flexibility to leave early from school. This means that after classes, I have the rest of the afternoon free to take care of pets. I can ensure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need during this time. On weekends, I have even more availability since I'm free all day. This gives me the opportunity to provide extended care, such as overnight pet sitting or longer walks and playtime. Overall, my schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pets, ensuring they receive quality care and companionship. I'm dedicated to ensuring that all pets feel comfortable and secure, which includes maintaining a clean and hazard-free space. I ensure that all play areas are designed with safety in mind, providing ample room for pets to explore while using secure fencing and supervised playtime. I also engage in regular communication with pet owners, keeping them informed about their pets' well-being and activities. My approach is always gentle and compassionate, ensuring a nurturing atmosphere.
About: Dogs have always been an extension of my family. I’ve had them my whole life and currently care for my 18-year-old chihuahua mix rescue, so I’m especially mindful of senior needs and giving pets the patience and love they deserve. I work from home, live in a pet-friendly apartment with a dog park on-site, and I’m just a stroll away from dog-friendly cafes and parks, perfect for pups who love fresh air and social time. Whether your dog needs play, snuggles, or a little extra attention, I’m here for it all. Pet care is part of my everyday life; it’s second nature. Since I work from home, I build my day around walks, outdoor breaks, meals, and quality time with my senior pup. I’m used to working with a pet nearby and love having that companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I’ve got the flexibility to give pets the attention they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In my home, pets are welcome on the furniture, dog fur doesn’t scare me one bit. I have a cozy space, an on-site dog park, and the flexibility to give them plenty of attention since I work remotely. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable, sticking to familiar routines to reduce any stress.
About: Hello! My name is Rebecca, I’m getting back into pet sitting in the time inbetween careers!

I take a lot of pictures as well and am communicative!
“Arantxa was exactly the dog caregiver we were hoping for. She took care of our dogs in a pinch with the least amount of disturbance possible. She went above my expectations with how well she kept in touch in spite of my inability to respond. I got updates and photos with our dogs looking completely happy. It was obvious they were having a great time. Her photos were great too! She asked the right questions and did a flawless job. I'll definitely book her again.”

Collin E.
“I can’t recommend Collin enough! Not only is he passionate about caring for animals, but he’s also incredibly patient and understanding of their needs. My cat is pretty grumpy, and he’s wary around new people. He gets anxious easily, so I tend to not bring him around others for extended periods of time. I recently experienced long-term power outage from a hailstorm, and I let Collin watch the cat while I figured things out. I was pleasantly surprised to see how fond my cat became with Collin! It’s clear that Collin does a fantastic job in bonding with any pet he watches, and my cat has since always been happy to see him!”

University Of Texas dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ashlynn is amazing! She’s been taking Ford on walks 3-5 days a week the past couple of months. She’s always on time, quick to reply and sends daily updates. We are lucky to have her help, since we have to work in the office. We can tell she cares and loves for him, which is all you can ask for!!
My Priya is a nervous elder who requires a patient soul! Melissa came for an initial greeting and then came to visit Priya twice this week. Melissa has such patience as Priya warms up and takes her out on her time. This gives me such relief as I need to be in office more, knowing there is gentle, patient support nearby!
Kim is amazing with my dog — he absolutely adores her! He gets so excited every time he sees her, and it’s clear he feels completely comfortable and happy in her care. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. She’s always on time, super reliable, and goes the extra mile by sending me photos during their walks, which I always appreciate. I can’t recommend her enough!
