“Aimee took great care of our two toy poodles. She was very accommodating of their special diet. I really appreciated all the photos and videos she sent of them on their walks each day! Her house is very tidy and well stocked with dog care supplies. Our dogs made themselves comfortable on top her furniture right away!”
“Sarah was a great communicator the entire time and proactive about all logistical things! She was super flexible when I had to add an additional day of care last minute and checked in about anything she had a question about while my dog was with her. Keanu came home happy and well-cared for :)”
“I must have done something right in a past life to have found someone as caring, amazing, and intentional as Kate to look after Princess. I got photos and videos everyday of her playing and having a good time, and she came back happy as ever. It was my first time leaving for over 2 weeks, and I was nervous, but all that went away when I saw my pup was in the best hands. I recommend to everyone.”
“Kate was very responsive and so good with our boy! She was understanding and accommodating with any of his needs & handled him with so much love and care! We could tell he had a great time during his stay & he’s already begging to hangout with porky again!”
“Christine & Colin were great! We got lots of pictures and updates, and and they took the time to get to know her personality and needs. All of which gave us great peace of mind!”
“Alice took such wonderful care of Milo. He has some reactivity issues which she was very mindful of prior to booking and during his stay which allowed me to feel at ease while I was away. She sent frequent updates and pictures and overall very communicative and quick to respond. Milo was so relaxed and happy upon pick up, he seemed to have a great time playing lots of fetch and hanging out with Corrah (Alice’s sweet pup). Thank you so much, Alice!”
“Cassandra and Jason were great! Our pup has a checkered past and can be very anxious. However, she was able to settle quickly in their home! They kept us updated each and every day. Our pup had a great stay with them!”
“Highly recommend!! Lilia took care of our tiny chihuahua and chi-beagle boy during our month overseas. It was so stress-free to get her proactive daily updates with the cutest pictures of our pups enjoying themselves! It makes me comfortable that Lilia limits the number and size of the dogs, especially with our little guy being only 3 pounds. Lilia even made a little birthday hat for our boy on his birthday! She is a gem, and I am so happy to have found her.”
“Jen is absolutely amazing! She consistently takes such great care of our little senior dog. From her updates, photos/videos, walks and patience - we are very lucky to be able to leave him with such a thoughtful and attentive person who truly loves dogs.💖🐾 Thank you, Jen!”
“Jessica and Wilson take extra care with our “special needs dog” who is scared of kids, strollers, loud noises etc. They send updates regularly. This is our second time using them and Izzy was so excited to see them and their sweet dog. Highly recommend!”
“Luna had a great first stay with Erika. We received several pics and updates, and Erika was very flexible and accommodating. Luna came home tired and happy. We’ve already booked her next stay!”
“Joel was great! He took such good care of Joey. It was my first time leaving him in the care of someone else as I was traveling overseas and his consistent updates and photos kept me at ease and I saw that my cat was really happy and thriving and having such a great time. I would certainly book him again and I highly recommend him. He’s so caring, attentive, detail oriented, and I would love to board Joey with him again!”
“Rose was great with our little dog last month. He immediately warmed up to her. She has a big, beautiful backyard that is a peaceful place for little dogs to roam and explore. She communicated well with us while we were traveling and sent cute photos. He was in good hands. Thank you Rose!”
“Eddie & his wife were absolutely AMAZING! They sent tons of photos & updates, took Brewski for a walk & I know he was well taken care of as if he were their own! My dog had such a blast with Eddie’s family (including their dogs)! HIGHLY recommend & will definitely use again in the future!”
“Callan and Chris were so welcoming of our dogs. They were flexible, friendly, and reassuring about our dogs who can be a bit anxious. They sent timely picture updates of our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Cheyanne was a great sitter! You can tell she loves dogs with all of her heart from the moment you meet her. My dog has a pretty… mischievous personality and she took it all in stride :)”
“I recently used Zoe to take care of my dog, and I was thoroughly impressed with her service. Zoe was exceptionally good at communicating, providing regular updates and pictures that put my mind at ease. She demonstrated a high level of responsibility, following all my instructions meticulously. I felt confident that my dog was in great hands and well cared for. I highly recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Rui was so attentive to our Biscuit! She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos as well. Since she had a yard he was able to run around get a lot of exercise which I can tell really made him happy. Overall super happy with Rui and will definitely be booking Biscuit another stay in the future.”
“Marissa was a wonderful host to my girl. I get frequent updates, pictures, and videos of my pup playing and looking happy as a clam. I felt very fortunate to have had such an awesome sitter for my dog and peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely recommend Marissa for a short or long term stay!”
“Our 8 month old Aussie pup had such a good time when staying at Amanda’s place for 4 days!! Got to play with a bunch of friends and received many video updates from Amanda (and her husband, Phillip) during his time there. Will definitely rebook!”

“Sara surpassed my expectations. I just moved to the Austin area from Miami, and don’t have many people who I could count on to look after my sweet boy, Tarzan. Sara was extremely attentive, punctual, and although I will worry anyway, she not only gave me nothing to worry about but was extremely reassuring. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Rachel was amazing! We are admittedly neurotic and overprotective cat owners but Rachel stayed on top of everything with clear communication, wonderful photos/videos of him playing and kept us feeling like he was in good hands while we enjoyed our vacation. 100% would recommend!”
“Mya was absolutely amazing with my cat! She communicated with me throughout the entire stay, followed every instruction perfectly, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious she genuinely cares about animals and has such a kind heart. I could tell my cat was well cared for and in great hands. I would recommend Maya to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you again, Mya—I truly appreciate everything you did!”
“Lacey was great! She was attentive and made sure she took care of Bobbi Jo just like we would’ve! I’d have her come by for check-ins again whenever I need it. Bobbi Jo warmed up to her right away and that was very comforting for us. 10/10”
“William was flexible and easy to communicate with when we booked him last minute for a holiday trip out of town. We had just moved back to Austin, so it was a relief to find someone close on such short notice. He was great with our 3 cats and sent plenty of updates. I will definitely book with him again!”
“Nina was wonderful with my pets! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for animals. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
“Danielle was wonderful - she’s a great communicator, very kind and caring and made me feel very assured that my cat with special care needs was well taken care of while I was abroad. Highly highly recommend her as a sitter, your pet will be in great hands!!”
“This was my first time leaving Stevie for more than a night and I’m so glad I picked Joy! She gave great updates and took pictures. My kitty has a bit of anxiety and typically is very scared of other people but seeing her warm up to Joy was such a relief.”
“Rachel took great care of my dog, just like last time. She was patient when he was nervous and I really appreciated how communicative she was about what was going on. Her rover notes were always quite descriptive and it was amazing to see how my dog warmed up to her with every visit!”
“Sierra was amazing! You can tell she really cared for my cat Sinatra. Sierra sent multiple photos and updates! Sinatra can sometimes be shy when there’s new visitors but she was playing and happy this trip. Highly recommend Sierra!”
“Kaileen did an excellent job taking care of our cat Kisa. She visited twice a day over the course of an entire week while we were away. She gave her meds, and brought her in and let her out as I requested, both of which are tricky tasks. What I really appreciated was Kaileen's communication. She gave me updates and sent pictures without me having to ask, so I felt relaxed about leaving Kisa even though we were gone a long time.”
“Ashley was prompt and courteous and sent pics of my 3 cats and let me know how they were doing. I appreciated her excellent communication and care and would definitely hire her again. Thank you!”
“I’ve had Meg as a sitter for my kitties several times, and she’s always done a great job! I always come home to a clean home and happy cats. She’s also great about communication and is quick to let me know if an issue arises. Would recommend!”
“Natalie is reliable and good with our cat, and she's easy to communicate with. We haven't got the chance to ask for her help with our dog but I'm sure she'd be great. Highly recommended!”
“Kate is awesome, she answered me when I had a request, she visited my babies and played with them. Every visit she sent me pictures of them, feed them, and cleaned their litter boxes. I am really happy with her job and I will definitely hired her again.”
“Sydney was amazing! She was able to help with a last minute booking and took such great care of my kitty. She was super responsive and sent the cutest update photos. She’s definitely my go to sitter now!!”
“Watson’s stay with Isabelle could not have been better! She was super flexible with my last minute planning, thorough when it came to maintaining my kitty’s routine, and so communicative as I received multiple updates and pictures each day! Helped make my week long vacation worry free!! Really the reset I needed, will be booking with her again :)”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Mlk
“Jen took great care of my little best friend! He was excited to arrive and meet the dogs of the house and they were excited to meet him! It is immediately obvious that Jen is a bone-a-fied (pun intended) Dog Person!”
“Aimee was SO great with my senior doggie! You can tell Aimee genuinely loves animals and cares for them very well in her home. She was extremely communicative and sent photos and videos which I really appreciated. I'll be boarding my doggie with Aimee soon!”
“Chris and Callan were absolutely wonderful. They helped me at the last minute with daycare and were friendly, flexible, and responsible. My dog, Sevi, seemed to feel immediately at home in their house, even venturing up the stairs on her own to explore minutes after I dropped her. She came back at the end of the day happily tired and calm.”
“Elizabeth and Adrian were absolutely amazing with Nala! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. They were caring, attentive, and made sure she felt comfortable and loved throughout her daycare stay. Nala had an absolute blast, especially making a new furry best friend, Niki! It was so heartwarming to see how much fun she had playing, socializing, and coming home happy and tired after a full day of adventures. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our girl. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll definitely be booking with you again. Highly recommend Elizabeth and Adrian to anyone looking for kind, trustworthy, and loving pet caregivers!”
“I was very happy and satisfied with the service I received from Alonso and his wife Eva. They treated my dog Charlie with compassion and affection and truly cared for him like he was part of their family. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Charlie was in such kind and attentive hands. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you both so much! If I ever need doggie daycare again, I will definitely use your services.”
“Alice took great care of our two pups during their day care stay with her. She was communicative and sent regular updates and photos during their day care stay with her. She followed instructions in their care sheet and was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have cared for over five dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages with my family. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I understand how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs and personality. I love spending time playing, walking, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Whether it’s belly rubs, outdoor play, or quiet company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and happy! Besides dogs, I love all animals! I have had bunnies and birds before and know how to take care of them! I work remotely full-time, which which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout their stay. My daily routine is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, medication routines, and regular check-ins. I like to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Whether they need active play, quiet company, extra patience, or a calm space to relax, I do my best to adjust my day around their comfort and needs! I live in a spacious apartment that offers plenty of room for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well supervised! I got my two friendly American Shorthair cats at home, so I’m very mindful about introductions, boundaries, and each pet’s comfort level. I always take time to understand how each pet does around other animals! If a pet needs their own space, quiet time, or a slower introduction, I make sure they have a calm area where they can relax. I keep the environment clean, organized, and peaceful so every pet feels cared for during their stay!
“Strongly recommend. Communication with Alex was great before and after the booking. Alex was responsive, helpful and put me at ease about bringing my dog for day care. She sent updates throughout a day, and when picked up, the dog was calm, restful and in a good mood.”
“I want to say thank you very much! I am so glad I found Melanie she is so amazing and I am so happy! Mila is enjoying herself so much and I can say that for the first time I am calm because I know that Mila is in good hands.”
“Jessica was an amazing dog sitter for us and we HIGHLY recommend anyone use her. She sent us photos and took amazing care of our dog while we were on vacation. We would be thrilled to book with Jessica in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is the sensitive, loving energy I bring to every animal I meet. I always read their body language and greet them with a calm, affectionate tone that lets me communicate safety to the shyest of cats; or demonstrate gentle authority to the most energetic of pups. I was born into a house with cats & dogs and have always felt that animals are part of the family. Over the past decade, I have cared for senior cats, postpartum dogs, high-anxiety animals, and would love to help care for your pets while you are away! I work fully remotely and set my own hours. My schedule is very flexible to accommodate the needs of your pet, through play sessions, walks, unique feeding schedules, etc. I care for animals in the client's home. I feel animals are more comfortable in the environment they are used to living in. It leads to a happier experience for us both. I follow any and all instructions left by the client.
“Lynne is an absolute dream. I cannot say it enough. Finding someone who truly loves dogs is extremely difficult and leaving our bay behind is even more difficult. We have found a true caring person in Lynne and consider ourselves the luckiest! She is gentle, caring, and observant, she truly wants whats best for your babies, and that is a rare gem. Thank you Lynne!”
“Kristina took excellent care of both of my dogs, they came home happy and tired from playing! I would definitely trust Kristina with them again. Thank you so much for your care and attention to them.”
About: I've taken care of friend's and family's dogs for years! Natural dog lover at heart but unfortunately haven't been able to adopt a fur-friend of my own. Experience with shy timid dogs that need a calm friendly companion to look after them! I currently WFH so have lots of time to spend with you pups! Available for day care and boarding week days and or weekends depending on need Live without any other pets so your pup will have a calm relaxing environment to stay and roam in (plus all the undivided attention!). Can easily crate your dog too if needed
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels — from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort. I understand that every dog is different, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, drop-ins, play sessions, and quality care for your pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may feel nervous in new environments or around new people. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible during our time together. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I make sure pets are always supervised. I’m attentive to behavior and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special care instructions. I treat every dog like family and provide regular photo updates so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine as I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home. I can provide regular attention, feeding, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. At my home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment, providing attentive supervision, consistent care, and respectful handling to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure
About: TLDR: Goober is a 2c year old goober who is depressed when he doesn't get to play with friends. Sitter has 30+ year of extensive care experience with large and small animals. There is a 7 year old in the home and we ask that your dog be respectful of kiddos. He is at his Dads every other weekend so you might be with us when he isn't there. Also, most dogs ignore the kid because Goober is the main attraction. I'm very experienced in animal care and will take the best care of your dog. I'll also offer suggestions and input in making your dogs experience the best possible experience. --- Hi! I'm Rhiannon and this is Goober. Goober is a 2 year old akita/pyrenees/super mutt mix who is playful, happy, eager to please and very energetic. He loves being our family dog but he misses playing with dog friends and would love a dog sleepover with your pup. He's friendly, easily corrected by more alpha dogs, and can't stop/won't stop (till nap time in his crate). I'm Rhiannon, and I have so much animal care experience it's not even funny. I owned a horse for 30 years! (We just said goodbye to him last year at 33) and have cared for all aged animals for decades. I had a special needs pug and I used to rover all the time other special needs dogs when she was alive. I'm comfortable with basic medical care/first aid and basic training. I have a pretty solid routine so your dog will be on a schedule! We decided to get back to some Rovering so that Goober could show his true Southern hospitality to other active and playful dogs when their parents work long hours or are out of town. We've had wonderful times with our Rover sitters and wanted to provide affordable and quality care when we were available. This is for fun for us! We would be looking for all types of dogs, from other active and playful dogs to senior pups and everyone in between. We'd love for your pet to come over and enjoy our fenced in backyard, long walks/rides in the nature preserve next to our neighborhood, South Walnut Creek Hike and Bike and Boggy Creek Greenbelt. Dogs are fed twice a day (that can be modified if necessary) have a relatively stable routine of eating, playing, walking, napping, sunning, eating, playing, napping, walking. If your pup has special needs, separation anxiety, or behavior related to being in another place, let me know! We can work together to ensure your dog doesn’t have behaviors that would hurt himself or harm property and ensure they have a relaxing time with us. I want your dog to be relaxed, chill, and be so excited to come to our house when y'all are busy or out of town. I can give subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, medication, basic first aid if necessary. Since most dogs don't LOVE younger kids, we ask for a meet and greet if you aren't sure about your dogs behavior with a kid and to make sure the vibe is good with Goober. but if your dog is comfortable with kids or we've sat for you before, then just book us! But I'm very cautious with all dogs and kids since MOST dogs find being around children stressful (that being said, PLEASE leash your dogs when you are around children in public parks and playgrounds and always supervise kids and dogs :) My son is educated in bite prevention and respecting dogs, but I'm very careful! I usually ask all non-neutered/spayed or not-yet neutered/spayed dogs and male dogs who have a history of marking to bring a belly band to have on hand so that my 100-year-old original hardwood floors and my cheap amazon carpets don't get tinkled on. Most male dogs do mark in the house initially since there is a another male dog in the house. It just makes the visit go smoother and is good to have on hand anyway. Easy to get one delivered by Chewy too in prep for an upcoming stay. I work from home so the doggie will rarely be home alone and if I do have to go somewhere, I'll schedule them to nap while I'm gone in between play sessions. Please ensure your dog is crate trained and provide a crate (if you don't have one, I do have some). If you dog prefers to be gated in a place like a bathroom or laundry room, I have gates too. Kongs/Woof toys will be given whenever I leave so it actually is an enrichment time for them. I try not to leave new dogs home alone until they are comfortable in the house- I want them to have a good stay! And if I do I often bring them for a car ride. Here is a recent schedule from a sit I did: 6:30-7:30 am: Wake Up, Backyard Play Time, Breakfast 7:30 - 9 am: Play and Morning Walk 9 - 9:30 am: Enrichment in crate (Woof) 9:30 am - 12 pm: Morning Nap (in crate) Between 12 pm - 2 pm: Indoor Play and Outdoor backyard time 2 - 2:30 pm: Enrichment in crate (Woof) 2:30 pm - 5 pm: Afternoon Nap (in crate) 5 - 6:30 pm: Backyard play and indoor play 6:30 pm - 8 pm: Evening Walk 8 pm and on: Bedtime (in crate) The safety of the humans are the utmost priority for our household, that is why we ask for a meet and greet if you are unsure how your dog will be in our house. But we do hope to build long term sitting relationships with folks because we do really love dogs and Goober does get lonely and wants his buddies. It is essential that my clients entrust me in taking the best care of your dog, and I think you'll get to know me quickly that the dogs truly have "the life" at my house. The environment is dog safe, with a fenced in back yard, and the house is kid/dog proof. There ARE chickens but they have a separate, secure run and will not be coming into contact with your dog. Goober tries to catch them and then pluck the feathers out of their butt, so as long as your dog isn't a "proven" chicken killer, we should be good. If your dog is like Goober and has a strong prey drive and looking for a snack, I just keep the chickens in their coop when your dog is out in the backyard (usually dogs get backyard morning and evening. Chickens get their run during the day). Let me know if you dog can scale a 4 ft. fence!
“Derik was great. We were passing through and needed a sitter for a few hours. He took them for a walk, and let them just acclimate in their own time. Highly recommend!”
“Areeta was a great rover for a Friday night play date while I got dinner. Her dog and Coyote immediately hit it off and the location was perfect. I will definitely re-Rover if I need an east side day care!”
“I am writing this after the first week of daycare for my young lab and could not be more pleased with the care and attention she is receiving. Lola has “endless energy” and came home exhausted every day! Ashley has provided great communication throughout and I would recommend highly.”

“John came through last minute when I came down with a bad cold, he was so kind to myself and Juno & took her on a nice long walk twice, the same day. I definitely recommend John!”
“Jackson is a great dog walker! I’m grateful to be able to have him consistently with my dog, Boon. He’s reliable, very communicative about walks and just general care while he’s with Boon. I highly recommend him!”

“Heather did a great job taking care of our pup for a same day walking/check in. She had no issues accommodating to specific entrance and feeding instructions and was very clear/thorough with communication!”
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: I have experience with young dogs and cats, as well as senior pets. I’m all about keeping to their routine since they know what they like. I have availability during both daytime and evenings, so I can cater care and pop-in times to whatever the pet and their owner need. I I am comfortable with taking care of your pet however you do - whether you use a fence, crate, or like long walks on the leash.
About: My lifelong passion for animals began with a stuffed dog named Cinnamon, but it truly came to life during the 17 wonderful years I spent with my Westie, Kirby. Growing up with Kirby taught me the art of senior dog care, from managing slower paces to noticing the subtle shifts in a senior pet's needs. My experience expanded further when we rescued Dewey, a panther-like gray cat. Managing the unique bond between a senior dog and a spirited rescue cat gave me firsthand expertise in multi-pet household dynamics and reading diverse animal personalities. Whether your pet is a high-energy explorer or a soulful senior, I provide the patient, specialized attention they deserve Because I work remotely, pet care isn't just a side job—it’s my daily company! My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to provide a consistent routine of potty breaks, play, and mid-day snuggles. I’ve recently made my physical health a priority, which means I head out for multiple walks a day. I would love for your pup to be my 'steps-partner!' Since I am home throughout the day, your pet will enjoy constant companionship and the security of never being left alone for long periods When staying in your home, I treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. I pride myself on being a communicative, organized, and tidy guest. I provide regular photo updates and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. Safety is my top priority; I am diligent about double-checking gates, following specific feeding instructions to a tee, and maintaining any house rules you’ve already established so your pet feels secure and calm while you're away
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: 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.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I got my first dog at six years old, and today my three cats happily run the household. Friends know me as the person who ends up spending more time with the pets than the people, usually on the floor doing what we jokingly call "pet yoga" with whichever dog or cat wants to join. I have a special soft spot for rescue animals, senior pets, and those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I've supported local rescue organizations for years and even helped transport animals for Austin Pets Alive during the Texas floods. Whether your pet wants adventure, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I’m a real estate agent so my schedule is flexible! I’m an early riser and as a life long Texan, I don’t mind the middle of the day summer heat. Having worked with rescue animals and senior pets, I'm comfortable moving at each animal's pace and paying attention to the little details that help them feel secure and stress-free.
About: Hi I’m Kelsey! I’d love to help you with your pet(s)! I’ve been pet sitting for years and have client testimonials I’d be happy to provide you with. Your pet will be in good hands! I will go above and beyond to truly spend time entertaining your pet and brightening their day while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including reactive dogs. I absolutely love spending time with animals and will truly treat your pet like my own. Speaking of my own, I have a boxer who is the absolute light of my life. I love him so much and spoil him rotten. I’ll treat your pet the same! Something you should know about me…When I walk into a house or business with a pet present that’s the first thing I’m paying attention to regardless of why I’m there. I work from home and love going on walks every day. I’d love to take your dog(s) with me on my next walk! Or if you need someone to stop by mid-day because you’re stuck in the office and just want someone to spend some time with your pet I can do that too. I’ll bring my computer with me! Did you think I forgot about cats? Never! I’d love to check in on your cat for you while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to visit your pet soon! I work remotely full time. I’m available most of the day for drop in visits and walks! I can come over in the morning for early morning walks before it gets too hot. I can come over mid-day for a lunch break walk or drop in visit. I can come in the evenings if you have somewhere to be after work and need peace of mind that your pet will be well taken care of. I will take extra care of your pets in your home. I’ll ensure they have everything they need and extra attention while you’re away. I love a good couch cuddle moment with your pet, walks of any distance or length, and am happy to interact with them using whatever toys or things they may have to use or play with. Mental stimulation is very important for pets, especially while you’re away to help their minds and bodies relax. I can use puzzle games, slow feeders, lick mats, or any other things you have for your pet to give them mental stimulation. I take great pride in leaving a place better than I found it and I’ll be respectful of you, your pet, and your home while I’m visiting.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 20 years. I grew up with a family dog and later cared for my own dog, Tiny, who was by my side for nearly 20 years. Caring for him taught me that every dog has their own personality, routines, and way of communicating. I’m naturally detail-oriented and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique needs, whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication (including pills and eye drops), or simply making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I decided to join Rover because I realized how much I missed having dogs in my daily life. When I needed one, I found an incredible sitter for Tiny through Rover, and she cared for him whenever we had to travel during the final months of his life. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind, and it’s exactly the kind of care and communication I hope to provide for every family who trusts me with their dog. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll meet them where they are. My goal is simple: to care for your dog with the same attention, patience, and love I’d want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with thoughtful messages and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. As a self-employed artist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be dependable and available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I honestly just love being around dogs. Getting outside for a walk or simply spending time with a pup is one of those things that always makes my day a little better. I know how much trust it takes to leave both your dog and your home in someone else’s care. I’m naturally detail-oriented and will always respect your space while following your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, or the little routines that help your dog feel comfortable. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention while I’m there, and I’ll always leave your home just as I found it. You can also expect thoughtful updates and photos after every visit, so you’ll know exactly how your dog is doing.
About: Growing up with dogs all of my life, I’ve had the opportunity to care for both small and large dogs, as well as both puppies and senior dogs. I crate and potty trained my golden retriever as well as taught her to walk off leash! I have been dog-sitting for friends and families for more than 10 years now including house sitting, boarding, and dog walking. During my time in college I also lived with roommates who had cats and occasionally cat sat on the weekend. I’m working full time but am more than happy to care for your fur babies in the afternoons or during the weekends! I am available after 5:30pm during the week and all day on Saturday and Sunday. I also work from home on Fridays so my schedule is more flexible! I currently live in a pet friendly one bedroom apartment with no roommates where I have access to two fenced courtyards. There is a park across the street from my apartment for accesible open play! When house sitting, I follow the client’s rules and make sure their home is returned in the same conditions as when they left. I fully understand the trust that it takes to leave your home and fur baby with someone and will do everything needed to maintain it and provide the best experience for both the client and pet.
About: I bring 3 years of professional experience working with cats and dogs, handling everything from daily care routines to administering a variety of medications and basic medical support. I also have seven months of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to large breeds like Mastiffs, and am comfortable meeting the needs of pets with different personalities and care requirements. I work full-time at an animal shelter, so providing attentive, compassionate care for animals is already a part of my daily routine. My early morning to midday schedule allows me to spend the very beginning and end of my day focusing on giving your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! I share my home with a kitty who means the absolute world to me. He’s the sweetest boy and is always waiting at the door for cuddles the moment I get home. I make sure to keep life fun and enriching for him every day, whether that’s a long play session, brushing (his favorite) or a special treat. Because of how much I care for my own pet and pets at work, I understand how important it is to give animals the love, attention, and patience they deserve, and I’m confident I can provide that same level of care for your pets.
“I was out of town and just landed in a different time zone when I receive a text from the person I had lined up to watch my dog canceled for health reasons. I threw out some Hail Mary's and Jaime came thru for us! The next day he checked in and asked if Cí Du was good. I really appreciate that! He was very flexible. Especially when the app had issues with time zone differences (VPNs effect it as well). I made the executive decision to overbook him, just incase anything else came up. Better for The Du to have too much attention than none at all, emirate? Jaime was a life saver! Definitely a go-to in the future!”
About: Dogs (all animals, really) make life better. I work from home and have two fur babies of my own: Ruta & Edwin. Ruta is a 10 year old gentle giant who has had severe allergies & idiopathic epilepsy since he was a puppy. Because he's needed extra TLC his whole life, I'm very experienced in administering meds, double checking food labels/avoiding allergens, making frequent vet visits, and giving extra long cuddles. My boy Edwin (mini Aussie) is a rescue that does not like other animal friends but with lots of patience, training, and established boundaries, my partner and I have been able to safely integrate our boys so we're one, somewhat-socially-distant pack. Edwin goes to the office during the week to supervise his dad. Ruta and I have the house to ourselves and would love to have your dogs over for playtime/doggie daycare. I work from home full time with my two pups Ruta and Edwin. If you need me to housesit, my partner is able to check in on our boys and I can be with your pets all day (with a few breaks for errands, walks, etc.) Housesitting: I'm able to stay with your pup during the day as long as I have access to reliable high-speed internet for work. Happy to incorporate overnights if needed. What I'd like to know about your pet Everything. What's their routine? Are they friendly? What do they like/not like? What are they like on leash? Housesitting The more info you can share on routine, the better. I try to be flexible and accommodate pets so they feel comfortable and relaxed even with their favorite people away. I typically spend most of the day at your home but will leave to run errands, workout, and grab food. Your pup won't ever be left alone for more than a few hours at a time if I do leave the house during the day. Overnights are dependent on request and pet needs.
