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.

“Denise was so amazing with Finley. Sometimes he takes a while to warm up to people, and within an hour he was sleeping on her lap! We will definitely be using Denise again-- she has a way with animals.”
About: I have experience watching dogs of all ages and sizes in NY and now Texas. I understand needs of dogs whether that be sensitive to noises, separation anxiety, etc - I’ve seen it all. Especially with my own six pound Chihuahua! Experience in administering medicine and training, I can help you and accommodate for anything you may need. I have tons of love to give and will provide an easy and calming experience for you and your family. I work from home and am able to give your pet 24/7 attention. Walks can be given every hour and the dog park at least once a day, if your dog likes dog parks. I am available every day and very flexible with scheduling. I live alone in a quiet house with a fenced backyard so there’s plenty of space for your furry friend to get comfortable. I also have a very friendly chihuahua that will be with me for any dog boarding. Your dog may sleep on the furniture or in a crate, whatever you prefer. I can administer medicine (no shots) and live within walking distance of a vet that I know personally, so this is the perfect place in case of any emergencies.

“Katherine is truly the WORLDS BEST DOGSITTER, providing exceptional care that my dogs absolutely adored. Even my chihuahua, who typically takes time to warm up to new people, felt comfortable and happy in her presence. Katherine consistently sent delightful pictures and updates, ensuring we felt connected and reassured about our pets’ well-being. Adding a unique touch, she even engaged them in fun art projects, creating memorable keepsakes from their stay. We will definitely be booking Katherine again for our dogsitting needs. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a caring and creative dogsitter! 🐾”

I would recommend if you are in Austin and in the need of a doggy daycare to book with them. Thank you Amanda and Jared”
“They were fabulous!!! My dog Inez loved playing with their pup Willy and I got several pics and videos throughout the day. She seemed very tired and content when she got home!

He was attentive, gentle, and clearly cared deeply for her comfort and happiness. I truly appreciated the care he showed my little one, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”

“She takes care of my deaf and partially blind puppy--what more can I say?! He gets lots of walks with her and thrives on her one-on-one attention. I know it's a good day when he comes home tired, which is very hard to accomplish with him. :) I was worried about him being in an apartment, but they go outside so often, it really isn't an issue for him. Vivien is attentive, responsive, and extremely patient with my high energy (and sometimes high needs) puppy. Thanks Vivien!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life as well as have had many 4-legged roomies. We recently lost our furry friend and I’m hoping to have more pets in my life through Rover I currently have a flexible remote job that easily allows me to work in pet care and frequent walks. I’m new-ish to Austin and love getting out to explore. My fiancé and I currently have no other pets in our home, and out of extra precaution, I only sit for one family at a time. We have a nice, big fenced in backyard for playing ball as well as multiple walking and park areas close by
About: I have grown up always having a dog. I am very caring and attentive to a dog's needs. I enjoy being engaged and active with dogs. I love taking pictures and sending them to the dog owner. I also love helping people and making them feel comfortable and allowing them to trust me with their pet. I think the more information you can provide me about your pet - the better! I work from home and am able to give your pet all the attention they desire. If your dog is used to sleeping in a bed, I have no problem with your dog sleeping in my bed. I encourage you to bring their favorite toy or treats! In April 2020, I got a puppy of my own. His name is Charlie and he is a miniature golden doodle (30 lbs). He is friendly and loves other dogs. I work from home so I’ll be with your pup most of the day! I usually take my dog out in the morning for a walk and let him out in the afternoon and then after work for another walk. I have a backyard, live near a dog park and have lots of nearby areas to take walks! I keep things that could be unsafe out of reach. I have plenty of dog toys in my home.
“Savannah and Gabriel are great with my puppy Peaches!! They are attentive to her needs and provide me with photos/updates during the day. She also comes home tired after playing with their doggie!! They’re the best!!”

About: Working from home allows me to spend more time with my dog and give my clients’ dogs all the attention they deserve. Taking care of my bulldog daily requires applying nose butter, baby whites, dental wipes and more. I am happy to do this for my clients fur babies too! I currently work full time from home as an IT business analyst. This allows me flexibility to help care for other pets all day everyday I have a 4 year old English bulldog at home. I take him on walks daily (when it is not too hot). Due to bulldog’s health issues I clean his face and nose daily. I am very comfortable caring for clients’ pets and providing whatever service they may need.
“Ollie absolutely loves his walks with Madison; he gets so excited when she arrives. Madison is reliable, communicative, and clearly a true dog person. Ollie has some leash reactivity challenges, and I really appreciate the care and attention she takes to keep him engaged, set him up for success, and avoid situations that might trigger a reaction. It’s obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and tailors her approach to their individual needs. Don’t overthink it; book a walk with Madison! 🐾”

About: Heeyyy! I’m Nicci, a life long Austinite, I’m a Mom to two minions, two cats, and a dog. I’m an artist who enjoys going on long walks (hopefully with your dog…🤞) I’m really flexible schedule wise. I don’t mind administering medication if needed. I’m good with all stages of life - puppy/kitties to seniors and anyone in between. I would be happy to help you out with whatever companion care needs you may have. I’m a single mom working the hustle job life. So in some ways I’m a stay at home mom and in other ways I’m a never stop working kind of mom with the privilege of working around the clock when it works best for me. This means I’m home during the weekdays for a great majority of the day, weekends I work more during the days but nothing crazy and I’m home every night of the week. I walk my kids to school every morning and then I continue with a lengthy walk for myself. Your dog would love it! My apartments have a very large fenced in dog park and multiple designated dog potty areas. I’m a leashed walker unless in a fenced in area where they can run and play.
“Dale is great! He is dependable, easy going, and is great with my dog, Easy. He was patient with some quirks that Easy has during walks and is generally a very kind person. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle is absolutely amazing with Mishka! She is great about listening to Mishka’s cues when she wants to keep walking or needs a chill day to just play inside. It’s very apparent how much she cares about the dogs she walks. Mishka is so excited to see her each day and it shows in all the pics that Danielle sends! I’m so happy to have found someone I trust Mish with in Austin.”
About: My wife and I own a beauty studio which allows us to have a pretty flexible schedule. We like to use our extra time to help out. I've always had a passion for dogs and love spending time with our mini Aussie Maui. Our dog is super friendly! He loves kids and other dogs and seems to always have a huge smile on his face. I love taking our pup on long walks on the Greenbelt and for swims around the hill country. I've been a dog owner for 30+ years and I am confident I'll provide a safe and positive experience for you and your dog! Fortunately my schedule is super flexible. I'm able to work whenever I like which makes working with animals extremely convenient. My wife and I have a dog of our own, but we're often fostering dogs or caring for dogs via Rover. Dogs are a huge passion of mine, and I'm incredibly thankful I can help out! We have a fenced backyard. We also have extra dog beds, food and water bowls, leashes, collars and harnesses as well as tons of toys and treats. We have baby gates and play pens. Large and small kennels. We have a baby pool for pups to play in during the summer in our backyard. We also have everything needed to bathe and groom pups if they get a little messy. Our cars have either doggy hammocks or a puppy chair. We have just about everything you can think of a dog might need.
