“Our first time using Rover was a successs with Denise! She took good care of our puppy, was extremely communicative and put our nerves at ease. It’s also helpful that she has a beautiful home and backyard for our dog to still feel at home.”
“Bassam is the best! He will love and take care of your pups during their stay. My trip got unexpectedly extended a day and Bassam was so understanding. I knew my pups were safe and happy while I was detailing with travel details. I can not recommend him enough!”
“As usual Sunny had a wonderful time with Lilia and Paisley. He came home well rested. Thanks Lilia for taking good care of my little man. Can't wait for his next "vacay".”
“I can’t thank Gol enough for taking such amazing care of my dog. Because of my student situation, my dog lives with me in an apartment and isn’t very social, so this was the first time I was leaving him with someone else. I was honestly very anxious. But Gol completely changed that. She took him out to her large backyard every two hours for playtime, and she kept me updated with videos. Seeing those videos made all the difference — I could clearly see how happy and relaxed he was. Even from the way he wagged his tail, it was obvious he felt safe, comfortable, and emotionally cared for. I’m truly grateful. She went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. I’ll definitely be a regular customer from now on.💚”
“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!”

“Tater had a great time with Sarah & her dog, Dewey. Received regular pics and was prompt with texts on any questions I had while I was on vacation. This gave me piece of mind. Highly recommend her.”
“Tiffany was absolutely amazing with my dog, Marty. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, active, and loved while I was away. She played ball with him, kept him entertained with games, cuddled with him, and treated him like he was her own dog. One thing I especially appreciated was how many videos and updates she sent. It gave me so much peace of mind seeing Marty having fun and being so well cared for. He looked genuinely happy and comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely trust Tiffany to watch Marty again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and dependable pet sitter.”

About: Begged for a puppy since I was 12, have been taking care of my own since then. I’ve noticed a Samson- shaped whole in my heart since 2016 (RIP), love when I can help others take care of theirs 🥰. Promise to not get jealous, k? I’ll keep my end of the deal up 🙏🏽 I’m working part-time & remote. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and prefer to go out in the afternoons/ sunset hours to get that vitamin D 😎 I take care as I would want someone to take care of my Samson. I can also bring along my best friend’s Pomeranian if we’re trying to get social
“Highly recommend! Simone was nice, empathetic, and patient! She sent regular updates on our dog with photos and videos. She let our dog sit on her lap while she was working. As a dog parent herself, she clearly knows how to take amazing care of pups!”
About: My wife and I raised our 1 year old Cocker Spaniel (Remi) from the time he was just 8 weeks old, and the experience completely hooked us on the joy of having dogs around. We love our pup so much that I'm looking to welcome more dogs into my routine, whether that's joining me for neighborhood walks or hanging out with me and Remi for some dedicated company. I am a PhD student that works from home so my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time throughout the day to take my cocker spaniel puppy Remi on several walks a day and to the park near Auditorium Shores. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with my Wife and 1 year old Cocker Spaniel Remi. Our apartment is completely dog proof since Remi loves to chew on things he shouldn't. We have an open courtyard in our building which I take Remi out to every couple hours. Please note that while my wife loves having dogs around, this Rover profile is just for me, and I will be the sole caretaker handling all walks, feeding, and supervision.
About: Hi all! I’m a 26 year old girl who has taken care of cats and dogs for almost 3 years already. I mainly foster babies through Austin pets Alive and love finding them new homes. I’m also okay with animals with ringworm, incontinence, FELV… love them all :) I have good experience with neonatal animals, animals with paralysis, parvo and other medical issues! I am okay with giving oral meds, injections and taking care of any wounds if needed! I live right on the lake so I’m constantly taking walks. No worries on your little baby not going outside while they are with me! 🥰🥰 I always send pictures and videos so you are comfortable with me and make sure your baby is in the right hands! I work from home! So I have plenty of time to take them to go play and be with them. I live near the river so going on walks is super easy :) I am absolutely in love with animals! The only reason why I don’t have them right now is because I think it would be a big long term responsibility I need to think of haha! I offer food, water and comfy beds (even though I let them in my bed all the time) and most importantly, love and treats!
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors, and I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medication, and giving each dog the attention they need. I treat every pup like family. I’m home full-time, which means your dog will have my full attention throughout the day. From regular walks and playtime to feeding and cuddle breaks, I’ll be there to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. You can relax knowing they’re never left alone for long and are getting plenty of care and companionship. I live in a pet-free home with a fenced yard, providing a quiet and safe space for your dog to relax and play. Your dog will get my full attention, daily exercise, and lots of love while you're away.
“We’re so grateful for Rachele, who took a last minute request to watch our mini Aussie for 3 days. Piper always came home happy and tired, from a fun day of walks and play. I got lots of updates and cute photos. We’ll definitely be rebooking. Thank you, Rachele 🥰”
About: Hi, I’m Ashley. I work from home and offer thoughtful, low-stress care for both dogs and cats. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away — with a routine that’s calm, structured, and tailored to their needs. Every stay starts with a gentle welcome to help your pet ease into the space — including calming music and quiet downtime. Once they’re feeling settled and secure, we turn up the fun with play, affection, and plenty of personalized attention. In addition to boarding and daycare, I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking, with the same level of care and attention to what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m home full-time during the week, which gives me the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s routine — whether they need quiet rest, structured play, or extra attention during the day. I’m also happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever I can. I live in a two story townhome in a pet friendly complex, with a few go-to enrichment tools to keep pets mentally stimulated between walks or play time.

About: I’m Jacob, a full time nurse, looking for a side hustle to help pay off my student loans :) If you trust me with your pet(s) I will make them my top priority. I will shower them with attention, and take lots of pictures to update you with about our day. I work 3 days a week. I have plenty of free time during the week for your pet’s needs. It would be such a fulfilling past time for me to care for your animals. I live alone in a quiet apartment with no other animals. There’s a good amount of space. Quick and easy walk to the trail around lady bird lake.
“Stephanie walked my dog on a last minute request which I really appreciate. She was great with him and even gave him a treat after his walk. Would recommend her for your pet needs!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have always had my own dog (inside dog, outside dog, sometimes both). I have entered and won obedience and showmanship shows with my dogs. I trained two of my dogs in 4-H for over 5 years. Growing up with pets has allowed me to develop a strong love for all kinds of animals. When caring for others’ animals, I always keep in mind how I would want my own animal to be treated. I am currently working on my teaching certificate which is completely online! This allows me to make my own schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings! I live in an apartment. I am open to cat/dog sitting depending on the breed. I live in a very walkable area where I can take the animals outside when needed.
“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!”
“Our boy loves walks with Lillian! We’ve been regulars with Lillian for a few months now. She is dependable, responsive, and flexible if plans change or we need coverage. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”
About: Hi! My girlfriend and I are dedicated and experienced Rover sitters with a true passion for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve spent years caring for pets through Rover and beyond, building a strong reputation for reliability, attentiveness, and creating a safe, fun environment for every dog I watch. One thing that makes my care unique is that my partner and I work together as a team. With both of us present, your dog gets double the attention, supervision, and playtime. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just keeping your pup company, we make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and loved at all times. I have experience with: • High-energy dogs that need lots of activity • Senior dogs requiring extra patience and care • Maintaining routines (feeding schedules, medications, etc.) We treat every dog like family and focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication while you’re away so you always know your pet is in good hands. If you’re looking for dependable, attentive care with plenty of love and playtime, we’d be happy to help! I like to take the pups to zilker or just spend time with them at home. Don’t mind going on walks if it’s a nice day out. I make sure to play with them, feed them routinely and take them on walks. Open to any other suggestions if needed of course. Thanks
“Priscilla was so kind and patient with my new rescue dog! He really took to her and within just a few walks was visibly sad and upset when the walk was finished!”
“Katrina was wonderful! She responded quickly and was so kind during our meet-and-greet. Bucky felt immediately comfortable with her and even went right up to her for pets. She asked great questions, paid attention to every detail, and followed all instructions perfectly. Highly recommend!”
“Madeline is amazing! Very punctual, super reliable, and does great with my dog. I trust her completely and I know my dog is in good hands with her. I highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much to Aryanna, she writes such detailed reports and takes such great care of our dog, who - admittedly - is not easy to deal with. We appreciate you Aryanna and can only give our warmest recommendations to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter!”
“Jennifer was amazing! Great communication, always on time, and gave my dog long, quality walks. I felt completely comfortable and trusted her the whole time. I would definitely book her again!”
About: I have cared for and watched dogs all my life! Love taking them on walks for some good exercise for us both! I also have my own dog (currently not so me in city) and he was very high energy, so I am used to that as well. All dogs are welcome! I would be able to take any lunchtime walk in between 12 pm-1 pm and also 5pm-7pm. Can be flexible if any other time is requested, just please let me know and I can work it out. I am sure to be careful and watch them on a frequent basis to ensure that they are comfortable and happy. Work from home so I can keep a watchful eye on them! I have a pretty spacious apartment so lots of room for them to roam around. When it comes to walking, I have many paths and walkable areas by me as well.
About: I have 3 years of hands-on pet care experience with a diverse range of animals, specializing in dog and cat care, with additional expertise caring for chickens, lizards, bunnies, and other pets. My clients appreciate my flexibility, attention to detail, and ability to handle both young puppies and senior pets with equal care and patience. I'm currently pursuing my dog behavioral training certification through GoodPup, giving me deeper insight into pet behavior and communication. I also bring an EVERLIT Pet First Aid Kit with me to every booking and walk—your pet's safety is my priority. What sets me apart is my commitment to exclusive, focused care. I don't have my own pets and I never double-book: your pet gets my complete, undivided attention. I work from home with flexible hours, which means I'm available throughout the day for their needs: morning and afternoon visits in a single day, weekend availability, or multi-week house sitting. This flexibility is especially valuable for puppies, seniors, and high-energy dogs that need consistent attention. My clients appreciate knowing their pet is receiving dedicated care in a calm, stress-free environment where I prioritize safety, respect your home, communicate transparently, and tailor care to each pet's unique personality. I work from home with very flexible hours, which allows me to easily accommodate your pet's needs: House Sitting: Full-time presence in your home with availability throughout the day and overnight. I'm particularly great for puppies and senior dogs that need consistent attention. No extra cost for pets requiring constant care. Regular Visits: I'm flexible around your schedule and can easily manage both morning and afternoon visits in a single day. I'm always available on weekends and can adjust timing based on your needs. Flexibility: I'm comfortable with extended multi-week bookings. My work-from-home setup means your pet never feels alone. I'm genuinely present throughout the day, working in your common areas while providing company and regular updates. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets I care for. I ensure they're comfortable, follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and engage in playtime tailored to their needs. I keep the environment clean, respect clients' homes, and communicate regularly to maintain trust and transparency. If it's my first time caring for your pet, I provide an optional care guide for you to fill out with questions about your pet like walking routes, food schedule, favorite toys, and more. For house sits specifically, this includes questions like where cleaning supplies are located and house care preferences like watering plants and getting mail.
“Alfred loves his long walks with David. He comes back ready for a long nap. Alfred can pull on the leash sometimes but David handles it really well. We appreciate his care and patience with Alfred.”
