“Marissa is amazing and took such wonderful care of our little Uchi! It was our first time having someone outside of our family and friends care for him and we could not have been happier. Lots of pictures and updates and overall an amazing, seamless experience!”
“My sweet but high anxiety little Maltipoo was so happy staying with Lilia. Lilia has a great yard for little dogs and was very accommodating to our drop off and pick up times. Loved the pictures she sent us too. It was a great experience and we will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“absolutely love working with Erika!! she takes great care of cooper and he comes home super happy and tired. she sent tons of photos and videos and he had an awesome time!!!”
“I haven’t used Rover in a while as I have a regular sitter now, but the rare time they are unavailable I was quite nervous coming back on Rover again. I’m SO glad I found Sam on here! He was so responsive, made sure to provide me consistent updates and followed my instructions perfectly. Petey (my dog) absolutely enjoyed staying with Sam, I could tell - so I will be using his services again.”
“Denise is amazing :) She’s kind, communicative, and responsible. This was our second time boarding Marley with her. We had an unexpected flight delay and she was able to boards Marley for an additional night. We are so grateful she was able to do that. We know that when Marley is with Denise, he is well cared for :)”
“Christine and Colin took amazing care of my Tieghan! It was my first time leaving her with someone outside of family and I felt comfortable from the minute I dropped her off. They sent consistent pictures and updates on how she was doing throughout the 5 days I was gone and were really flexible with pick up and drop off times. Tieghan barely wanted to leave when I arrived to take her home and it was clear they really treated her as their own! I will absolutely be using Christine and Colin again and cannot recommend them enough.”
“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.”
“Joel is so great! He was very communicative and helpful in easing my anxieties on leaving my fur baby with a sitter. I had some concerns since she’s a bit of a handful at times but he handled her with ease and did a wonderful job at it. We also had some scheduling issues but he worked with us and was extremely helpful. He provided many photos and kept me updated on how she was doing. 10/10 I will be booking with Joel again! 😄”
“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 :)”
“Our dog Archie absolutely loved staying with Wilson, Jessica, and their pup Winnie! They kept us updated with so many amazing and adorable photos! Their care of our pup was above and beyond. We will use them again!”
“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.”
“Morgan did great! Took Mads in on short notice and gave updates while she was there. Mads was looking around the car when I picked her up wondering why Morgan wasn't coming with us so I know she really enjoyed her time there.”
“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 :)”
“Honestly spectacular! This was my first time ever using River and Gil made the process super comfortable for me. Two weeks prior, I was able to go for a free meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted and she was lovely. Then during my return trip, my flight got delayed by over 7 hours and I had to pick up my dog the next day. She was super super understanding and responsive. She was accommodating to the new situation. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better first experience with someone on this app.”
“Ashley was awesome! Our dogs had a blast on their vacation. They even sent us photos sleeping in the big bed. We were happy to be reunited but they were so sad we ruined their party. Next time we have to go out of town without them hopefully Ashley's schedule is available because they would love to hang out with their new friend Carter again as well as their doggie sitter Mom.”

“Iris did a great job of taking care of Ponyo, not just feeding and cleaning up after her, but taking time to play with her and interact with her. She sent multiple photos after each visit so we could see that Ponyo was well and happy.”
“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!”
“Zoe did a wonderful job caring for my cats!! She took lots of photos and gave updates on the cats activities, ensuring I knew they were very well taken care of :)”
“Nina was a wonderful sitter for my kitty, (also named) Nina! She made time to meet us beforehand and clearly had experience with cats :) she brought over calming energy and sent sweet photos of lap time snuggles. I was grateful for her and would easily recommend and rebook her again! thanks Nina ✨”
“Brandy was great with my cat Rudy while I was abroad. She took care of all of his needs and was super handy and helped readjust his water fountain, food dispenser, and even my camera when he knocked them down. She’s been really fantastic, especially seeing as Rudy was a little skittish and shy at first, but she took the time to get him to be comfortable around her. Thanks Brandy for your help!”
“Anjana was a delight. When I first reached out to her she was prompt with a response to set up a meet and greet and asked lots of questions. Anjana sent lots of photos and a few videos and would update me one to two times a day about how my kitty was doing. It was my first time using Rover and I think Anjana's first time house-sitting, so we had a slight miscommunication with exact start time, but there was quick communication with Anjana to find a solution that worked for both of us. I'd hire Anjana again! 😀”
“Rickey was attentive and great with my dog! He was communicative, asked any questions he needed if something wasn’t clear, and Bobbi Jo was well cared for when we got back!”
“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.”
“Isa is an incredible Rover!!! In addition to making sure our kitty's daily needs were taken care of, she even brought her own personal cat toys and catnip to play with, and wrote up the sweetest detailed summaries each day and sent the most adorable photos and videos. This is our second time booking her, and definitely not our last!”
“Julia is a great pet sitter. She watched over my sweet 10 year old cat when I was away for 9 days. She's very communicative & follows all instructions that you may have for your specific animal. I will booking Julia in the future so long as she is available. Thank you!”
“Sasha LOVES Sierra. I have never seen her take to a new sitter so quickly! So much appreciation for you, makes traveling much less stressful knowing Sasha is in great hands.”
“Meg did a great job with my kitty cats! I’ve had her as a sitter two times so far, and I’ve always come home to happy healthy kitties and a clean home. She’s good about replying quickly, and about sending pictures of them at each visit (even got some action shots of play time!). She did everything that I asked (fed them, gave them clean water, cleaned the litter box, and played with them), plus she even took out the trash when it got full! Overall I would recommend Meg as a sitter :)”
“We were so happy we chose Allie to watch our cat! We had her check in for 30 minutes daily for 10 days. Allie was a great communicator and made us so happy with her updates and photos! We looked forward to the check ins every day. She made a wonderful daily routine for our cat that made us feel so much better about leaving him for an extended time. I would highly recommend Allie for your cat sitting needs and I will definitely be using Allie again in the future.”
“Jolene was fantastic, she helped me out last minute and took great pictures/updates! Not only that but she got my antisocial/shy kitties out of their comfort zone which is unheard of!! Thank you again Jolene!”
“Sydney was so responsive and wonderful when I took a last minute weekend trip. It’s also worth mentioning that she was very patient and understanding when my buildings virtual keycard was acting up. I will definitely be using her in the future!”
“He is so patient with my reactive baby! I’m grateful he was available to take on our weekly visits, and Rash loves him already. I never saw her give kisses to someone that quickly but she licked him right in the face at our meet and greet!”

“Jen was great with my pup. Xena is a sweet and nervous around other dog; Jen was more than accommodating and took her time introducing her to the other dogs. On her second day she was fully part of the pack and I had a great time at puppy land. I would definitely recommend her services 10/10”
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 also dog sat a bulldog, French bulldog and shihtzu many times (board sitting). I have helped with bathing, walking, feeding, feed medication, training, and playing! Bonus: I take quality, fun photos of your dog! I currently WFH full time 9-5/MF; with ample breaks for walks, potty breaks and playtime. My schedule is very flexible and I love to get outside at least 2x a day for a walk or gentle run. My home is dog proof and clean (hardwood floors/ cables hidden). No plants are in reach for the pets either. AC runs strong, I only pour filtered water (refill bowl daily), aware of which foods are poisonous to dogs, no smoking, and don’t play loud music. My apartment building is dog friendly, neighbors are well-mannered with their own dogs and 15 min walk to lake Austin and trails
“Great experience overall. Aimee is personable, communicative, and clearly cares about the dogs she watches. I feel safe leaving my dogs with her and will definitely be coming back!”
“So grateful to have Jennifer as part of Paddington’s care team. She takes amazing care of my boy and he always comes back exhausted and happy. She also takes great care of me, haha, with seamless pick up and drop off, lots of flexibility, and lots of photo updates throughout the day. I love seeing updates of my pup on walks, romping in the backyard, or playing with doggie friends. Thanks, Jennifer!”
“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.”
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
“Alison is a great doggy sitter! My dog Olipop absolutely adores her. She communicates well, and it’s very apparent she loves dogs. Love the photo updates she sends! :)”
“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!”
“Marissa was very attentive to our puppy. She went out if her way to talke extra care of her, gave her medicine and always walked her and sent us picttires. She was very responsible and easy to work with”
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!
“We chose Sherryann because our other Rover daycare sitter was booked, and we are so happy we did. She scheduled a meet and greet before his stay and allowed all of her dogs to meet our puppy, Frodo, one at a time so he wouldn’t be overwhelmed. During his stay, she sent great photos and videos all day long. It was a muddy day and she let all of the dogs outside to play and explore anyway, and she even washed him up for me before I picked up! He came home so exhausted he hardly woke up for dinner, so we know he had a blast. We will continue to use Sherryann and highly recommend her for all your doggie care needs.”
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
“Kristina was so awesome! She sent so many pics and kept me in the loop, I was nervous bc she was my first rover babysitter but she is awesome and I would rebook again!!”
“Caroline did an amazing job caring for our puppy, Millie. She has a large yard space too that Millie enjoyed. Will definitely be rebooking with her 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.
“Kaley responded quickly to my booking request and communicated well throughout the process. She was great with Jaxxon and will hear from me again when I need a sitter close to downtown. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”

About: I grew up with multiple dogs all my life. I have experience training sight-guide dogs. I have pet sat for dogs, cats, bunnies, and birds before. I currently work 5 days a week Sunday-Thursday from 2-10pm, so on those days so your pet will have about 8 hours alone **with the exception that Wednesdays I work 9 hours**. After work and the weekends, I love taking pets out on walk/doing enrichment in the home when I am with them! I live on a second floor apartment so your pet will need to be able to go up and down stairs. I have 1 bedroom with a good amount of space and sun spots for them to play and lay out.
“Amelia is great! She’s been prompt and great, we had some issues with the building elevator etc and was ready to accommodate and make sure my pup was taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, she’s been great and I look forward to rebooking with her in the future 🙂”
“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!”
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: I have been around pets my whole life, but I’ve been taking care of them on my own for about 2 years. I also have personal experience owning a dog, a cat and two guinea pigs. I have cared for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets that need extra attention. Every pet I have taken care of has always been in good hands I’m a college student in the AFROTC program at UT Austin. My weekdays can get pretty busy with classes, but Mondays and Fridays I’m mostly free. I also have some breaks between classes Tuesday through Thursday where I can stop by for pet care. Fridays and weekends are usually wide open, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need I don’t bring pets into my own home, but I make sure they’re comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep up with feeding and walks, give them playtime and attention, and make sure they feel safe while you’re away.
“Paige is great! She always communicates her arrival time and shares photos and updates from the walk. My dog always comes back a bit worn out and very happy. He is always waiting at the door and excited to see Paige.”
“Natalie did a great job walking my GSD Jansen. I got photos and updates. She was very considerate and good with communication. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: I've had dogs/pets in the home since I was 5! I was the go-to neighbor for pet-sitting and dog-walking and I'm reliable and friendly. I'm also a plant-lover and am happy to take care of plants as needed during house-sitting. I'm thorough in following your instructions and specifications for your pet and home. Looking forward to hearing from you! I'm currently working from home a few days, so I have the ability to work in any setting! I can stay with your pet in your home to make sure everything is safe and sound. I'm also a plant lover and am happy to water plants, take in mail/packages, and whatever other small tasks you might want help with. I love going on walks (or runs) around the neighborhood to get your pup's energy out! I'm happy to take him/her to the many trails Austin has to offer or just chill at home if they're more laid back. I also have several doggy puzzles/toys/enrichment activities to expend mental energy and keep dogs entertained in the Texas heat!
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 always had dogs in my life. I grew up with smaller dogs in my family, but when I moved off to college I didn't have as much time around them. It honestly took a minor toll on my mental health, because I actually believe dogs are the key to happiness. Once I moved to Arlington and my roommate had a dog (a medium sized), I knew I needed to surround myself with more. And what better way to get to know the community than to take care of the most important part of it! Working remotely gives me the incredible flexibility to make pet care a seamless part of my day. While I work a standard 9-to-5 schedule, my job allows me to easily step away from my desk whenever needed. Whether that means taking your dog out for a mid-day potty break, going on an afternoon walk to burn off some energy, or giving a cat some quality cuddle time, I can accommodate your pet’s exact routine without delay. When I take on a pet sitting commitment, that work becomes my top priority. My flexible remote setup means I’m present, attentive, and available throughout the day - giving your pets the companionship and supervision they need so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether I’m hosting your pet at my home or caring for them in yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. My own space is fully pet-proofed, safe, and secure for hosting, while in your home, I treat your property with absolute respect, adhering strictly to your house rules, routine, and security preferences. On walks and during yard play, I stay 100% focused on your pet - maintaining a secure grip on the leash, monitoring weather and pavement conditions, and actively avoiding potential hazards or unfamiliar dogs. Building trust starts with clear, reliable communication. I make a point to send frequent updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. From double-checking fence latches to keeping strict safety routines, I take every precaution to give you complete peace of mind while you're away.
About: I've been caring for pets for over 11 years and have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their beloved pets while they're away. I truly love spending time with animals, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, staying active outdoors, or simply cuddling on the couch after a fun day. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I treat every pet like they're my own and always strive to make sure they're living their very best life! I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I'm able to commute and am always excited for an outing to meet a new pup! Whether your dog needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or some extra playtime during the day, I'm happy to accommodate your needs whenever possible. I love staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy fitting into my daily routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, explore, or simply relax outdoors. While we do have a pool, all outdoor time is supervised to ensure your pet stays safe and comfortable. I also live in a wonderful community with walking trails and sidewalk paths that are perfect for long walks and exercise. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I'll treat them like family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care throughout their stay.
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: 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.
About: I have had a pug for 11 years. She is awesome. I am also an ex-collegiate athlete and would take my trainers rhodesian ridgeback on walks/runs every morning. I am an early riser and often go on walks or runs already. My pug is currently at home in florida while I am in college. I miss my dog and I really want to be around dogs and other animals. I have a fenced in yard and leash walk my little tot. We also have a lot of land behind us so I will run outside with the pug often.
About: Hi! I’m Colton! I have grown up with dogs my whole life & understand the care & needs they have. I am high energy and super fit which will be great for offering your dog the experience they need to be happy in my care. It’s been a while since I was active on River but I’m excited to be back My schedule is flexible and I can figure out how to be available to all of your needs! If need be, I can even work remote some days. I care for animals in a way that is different than many others. They deserve respect just as much as humans do and I am here to offer that respect along with making sure they behave & follow any expectations given by the owner/s
“James did a fantastic job walking our dog, Rodger! He was very polite and communicative throughout the entire process, which gave us complete peace of mind. Rodger came back happy and well-exercised, and it’s clear that James cares deeply about the pets he looks after. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker!”

“absolutely love working with Erika!! she takes great care of cooper and he comes home super happy and tired. she sent tons of photos and videos and he had an awesome time!!!”
“I haven’t used Rover in a while as I have a regular sitter now, but the rare time they are unavailable I was quite nervous coming back on Rover again. I’m SO glad I found Sam on here! He was so responsive, made sure to provide me consistent updates and followed my instructions perfectly. Petey (my dog) absolutely enjoyed staying with Sam, I could tell - so I will be using his services again.”
“Christine and Colin took amazing care of my Tieghan! It was my first time leaving her with someone outside of family and I felt comfortable from the minute I dropped her off. They sent consistent pictures and updates on how she was doing throughout the 5 days I was gone and were really flexible with pick up and drop off times. Tieghan barely wanted to leave when I arrived to take her home and it was clear they really treated her as their own! I will absolutely be using Christine and Colin again and cannot recommend them enough.”
“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 :)”
“Our dog Archie absolutely loved staying with Wilson, Jessica, and their pup Winnie! They kept us updated with so many amazing and adorable photos! Their care of our pup was above and beyond. We will use them again!”
“Morgan did great! Took Mads in on short notice and gave updates while she was there. Mads was looking around the car when I picked her up wondering why Morgan wasn't coming with us so I know she really enjoyed her time there.”
“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 :)”
“Super responsive during pre-booking. Great communication during boarding. Easy drop off and pick up. Convenient, central location, too. Our pup came back happy and healthy, couldn't ask for more!”
“Bassam did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation! I was nervous about boarding her but it couldn’t be avoided and Bassam made sure she was as a comfortable as possible.”
“Madeline was so sweet with Lucy! She was quick to answer messages and sent photos and updates while I was out of town. I would absolutely reach out to her in the future!”
“Cassandra & Jason took such great care of my dog. They took her on daily walks, gave her lots of love and even took her on some adventures. I think she got lots of love and attention when staying with them. I would definitely use them again when going out of town.”
“Amy gave my pup the most excellent care and I felt completely at ease during my work trip. Gave excellent communication and shared plenty of photos. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a trusting and caring sitter.”
“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!”
“Aine was a great sitter for Axl and her dog Fionn became besties with our dog :). We got lots of updates and pics all along. Our dog came back looking happy and healthy! Would highly recommend Aine!”
“Amy did a great job with Korra. She immediately made her part of the family. Amy kept me in the loop on how things were going and was proactive in managing pick up and drop off times. Already signed up for 2 more stays.”
“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!”
