“Amanda did a great job looking after our Cali. She had a Christmas present waiting for her, which was unexpected and a nice surprise, and kept us updated on Cali's stay. We weren't aware there would.be so many other dogs during her stay, but Amanda seemed to make it all work! She was a great choice, especially willing to share her family's holidays with our pup. Highly recommend.”
“Radha & Bart were great hosts, Pebbles had a fun time with them! We enjoyed the cute photo and video updates and felt she was in very capable hands. Would definitely board Pebbles with them again!”
“Andrew was so good with Huck and I was kept in the loop during his entire stay. He is so attentive and really shows a true love for animals, especially the ones he is watching. Keeps them safe and you know they are comfortable, fed and happy. Will be booking with Andrew again!”
“Amber is the BEST dog sitter. She loves my dog like she is her own. Amber sends photos and videos so I can see my dog is happy! My dog loves her so much that she will try to jump out of the car when we pull up!”
“Garrison watched my dog for me over the holidays for a week and I highly recommend him as a sitter. He was great with communication from the beginning when I first booked with him and keeping me updated during the stay. Milo was very happy and obviously well cared for while I was gone. Thank you, Garrison!”
“Elisa was the very best sitter I have used. She was so professional and personal in her services. My Auggie was treated to a wonderful home away from home during his stay. She would send pictures and call me with any information she thought I needed about Auggie.”
“Absolutely loved working with Chad! He was really patient and took such special care of my sweet boy. I got tons of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which really helped ease my mind. I also appreciated getting to do a meet and greet beforehand so I could see where my dog would be staying. It made a huge difference. I’d definitely recommend Chad if your dog has separation anxiety or doesn’t do well in crates. He doesn’t take on too many overnighters at once, so I knew my dog wouldn’t just be a number. Great experience all around!”
“Jeff was great with Milo! He sent us updates and pictures and genuinely seemed so excited to have Milo at his house. It made us feel at ease that Milo was in a safe and loving environment. We will definitely be booking with Jeff again when we need someone to watch Milo.”
“Kimberley took great care of my little guy. Sent updates and photos many times through out and made me feel super secure in my decision to leave my puppers in her care. :) A+++ would leave with her again.”
“She took really good care of my baby Kobe he loves going she provided me with videos and pictures of him and she text and stay in communication with me the whole time he was there I would definitely use her again”
“Jimmye Sue and Tom made my first experience with Rover an easy one! The communication and love they both put towards Melo was amazing and I was gifted a beautiful painting of my dog which I love. Best Rovers in the area, thank y’all again ?”
“Bekah was amazing as always! She had amazing communication and I never worried that Roxy was happy or taken care of. She truly loves the pups like they are her own and cares for them so much! We will definitely use her again!”
“Mina was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our Teddy! She went above and beyond, constantly sending us pictures and videos, which made us feel connected and reassured the entire time. Thanks to her updates, we never had the chance to miss him too much. Teddy was clearly happy and well-loved in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — highly recommended! We are going back to her again and again ! :)”
“Natalee is great. She took care of my dogs on short notice and treated them like her own. I appreciated the updates from her and how responsive she is concerning individual dog care institutions. Highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Jerica was super quick at responding to a very last minute request from us to look after Autumn! She was very patient and loving with our girl. Hopefully she’ll be willing to help us out in the future again :)”
“Gracie was great! I was very thankful that she was able to accommodate with such short notice. She sent me update pics which I loved. The dogs had a good time and were taken care of. I would definitely recommend her if you need someone to babysit your fur babies and would go back to her in the future!”
“Carmen kept me updated throughout Zoe’s stay. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. My dog seemed happy! I would definitely recommend Carmen and plan to use her in the future.”
“Zora took amazing care of our dog Kona. She provided lots of pictures, videos and updates and we knew he was in good hands. He got along well with her dog, Zara, too. Would definitely rebook!”

“Jordan went above and beyond to make our cats and parrots comfortable. It was such a relief to know someone was looking in on them and giving them some attention while we were gone!”
“Kellie was absolutely phenomenal. The moment Kellie came over to meet my pets, a good two weeks before my travel, I knew my fur babies would be in trustworthy, caring and knowledgeable hands. Kellie made sure she understood the needs of both my animals and understood what was needed to make sure they felt safe and loved in my absence. Kelli checked in with me multiples times a day, letting me know what was going on. She also went above and beyond what was required of her, from making sure my garbage cans were on the curb for pick-up day to watering my plants. If you are on the fence with using Rover to care for your pets while you are traveling or at work, I get it. I was too, but rest assured that will Kellie your cherished fur babies are safe and taken care of, and your home is not at risk.”
About: I have cared for many different kinds of cat and I’ve loved every one of them. I’m writing this with a grumpy cat snuggled up on my lap. I’m happy to arrange overnight sits without my dog (he can have a play date at a friend’s house) if your pets are not fans of dogs.
“Mell did an excellent job again taking care of my cat with daily drop in visits over 10 days. She is very detail oriented and tells me when she notices anything different with my cat. Goldie says see you soon!”
“Tinisha was great with our pups for drop in visits in our home. We had to be away from the house for the day last minute and I was so relieved to know they were well taken care of with the great updates and pics. Thank you!”
“We had a lovely experience booking Andrea. We got lots of updates, pictures, and videos of our kitties. Andrea was very thoughtful and gave our cat his medicine even when we were about to be home so we had one less thing to do after a hectic day. I would definitely book again if our cats needed watching ☺️”
“Cheyenne was great. I was so nervous about leaving my fur baby for a few extra days but Cheyenne was attentive to her needs and helped to reassure me during my time away. Recommended again.”
“So glad Allina was available to take care of my fur babes for 2 weeks while I was away on work travel! She was quick to respond & made sure they were well cared for.”
About: I have enjoyed my life around numerous animals of all backgrounds. Growing up in the north granted me the privilege of owning huskies and training them for years! Stubbornness is no problem with me. I have experience with working through territorial aggression and severe medical needs. I have been through obedience training with all of my dogs. I love being around cats as well and have owned cats my entire life! I am available any day, anytime! No morning is too early for a check in or walk and no night is too late. Your pet’s schedule is my schedule! I respect security and privacy! The care of another persons home is sacred and I would only want someone else respecting my space as well. Let me know if you have any concerns about the environment your pet will be in!
“Lillian (Ruthie) took great care of our pup. She kept us updated with how our pup was doing and sent lots of pictures. We were really happy with how she took care of our dog and followed our instructions. We will definitely work with her again. Thank you!”
“Despite Monet watching our cat over the holidays and not being around as much as we had hoped, she took good care of our boy. Our cat needs attention 24/7 and when she was there, we knew he was looked after and given love, treats and attention. She did a great job updating us with pictures and videos and even got the best pictures of them snugging in bed every night!”
“Tamaria kindly checked in on my cat when I needed someone very last minute over the holidays. She is extremely fast to respond and sends regular updates, including plenty of pictures. My cat is very shy around new people but warmed up quickly to Tamaria with a few treats of encouragement! I recommend Tamaria and will certainly reach out to her in the future.”
“Bella was great! She knew how to interact with my cats when she came for a meet and greet and asked great questions. My girls were well cared for and I returned home to happy girls and the house exactly as I expected! Would definitely book with Bella again :)”

“I left my Australian Shepard with Isabelle for daycare for two days, as I was dropping him off for the second day he was so excited to see Isabelle which I knew it meant he was in good hands. Isabelle was always responsive and gave me updates while he was with her. She also took him along for their daily walk which I appreciated. Thank you again Isabelle!”
About: I'm an animal lover! I always had animals growing up; having cats & dogs. Also had a guinea pig, a chinchilla, several birds, a turtle, bunnies and bearded dragons. Our furbabies are like our children! I am a professional petsitter, fostering dogs & cats, training them and rescuing animals. Currently, I have 4 cats (mine) & 2 bearded dragons and 1 small dog (mom's). I have experiences with seniors and blind furbabies. I also have experiences dealing with flight risk, severe anxiety pets and oral medication as well as injections. **DROP-IN VISIT** I live in Taylor, I can travel to Hutto, Granger, southeast of GT, East of Round Rock, Thorndale and Coupland. **BOARDING - Requirements: * Non-aggressive/low/medium energy (must be ok with other pets) * 100% house-trained includes trained to not chew on household items * Current on all vaccinations and flea prevention * Male felines must be neutered I ask you to provide food and bedding for your furbabies because every pet is different, has different lifestyles and eating/sleeping habits, toys. I have plenty of bowls and plenty of crates (XS, S, M, L, XL & XXL) including a 3 tier crate (for cats) if needed. My schedule is flexible, I'm almost always home. If weather permits, I enjoy going out for long hikes or going to parks/neighborhood for walks. ** Boarding & Housesitting - I'm available 7 days a week. The potty break/meal schedule is flexible on my end. They can go out often for potty breaks, to explore, fetch, and enjoy the sun as they please. Also, will provide outdoor play with engagement of other pups and can do some training as well. ** Housesitting - I will spend the nights with them. Sometimes I will be away for a few hours unless you instruct me for a specific time, such as how long it is ok to leave your pets alone, I will follow your preference. They are welcome to tag along for the ride if they enjoy car rides. -- During my free time I volunteer as a pet rescue member with Trapping, Rescue and Pet Recovery Service (TRAPRS), a non-profit organization. I have been with TRAPRS since they were founded in 2019. When I'm scheduled to pet sit, I will not be available to do a rescue. Only time I'll be away is if someone is able to secure an animal, Ill be out for a quick scan for microchip or if I'm scheduled to drop-in to visit other clients' homes. (I want to be transparent about what I do). I know it can be stressful leaving your family member with a stranger, but you can be confident that your furbaby/ies will be treated as one of the family; given plenty of love, hugs, belly scratches, treats, play time and walks during their stay. I have a fenced yard for your pup(s) to explore, do their business, enjoy the fresh air & flirt with the sun, and play fetch. I will send photos and videos of your furbaby having a great time! You are welcome to reach out to check on them at any time. They will be in good paws!
“Jax seemed to have had a fun time spending the day with Jordan and her pets. Jordan was great at sending me updates and pictures. Jax will be staying a few days with Jordan in the near future so it was great for them to spend a full day together getting to know each other.”

Take a look at my photos to check out my home and fully fenced-in yard to see where your dog would be spending his doggy vacation. My home, near Hutto Elementary and Middle Schools, is in a new, quiet neighborhood with plenty of walking trails nearby. My yard is spacious with new grass and a covered patio to provide both sunny and shaded play areas. The price listed is for a 24 hour stay for a dog weighing up to 44 lbs. It would be $35 for a dog weighing 45-94 lbs. Having undergone advanced screening, I have been met face-to-face and my home has been inspected. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)!

My home is their home, and my priority is to create a nurturing and joyful environment that meets each pet’s specific needs, making their stay both enjoyable and enriching.
“What a wonderful first time experience having Cheyenne sit our Pluto. Pluto had very little interaction with other dogs and no interaction with cats before, so obviously we were very nervous in leaving him. Cheyenne not only assured us that she will take good care of Pluto, she went above and beyond our expectations. She posted regular pictures throughout the day, kept us updated on his feeding patterns as well as on his playtime with other dogs.”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of Bentley and sent some awesome photos of Bentley!! He looked so happy and came home exhausted so I know he had an awesome time! Thank you so much for watching our pup while we were out! I recommend her and will definitely book again next time we are in the area!!”
“Skia who doesn't like to stay away from us and with other humans and dogs in our absence, loves to hangout with Mark and she is super happy to be with him and his dog (like a second home). Mark takes great care of the dogs and even feeds them when he feels they are hungry without a second thought. Great experience sending our pup to Mark's place !”
“Candi was amazing with my duo! She was very communicative and sweet! Very welcoming and my pups had a great time and were super exhausted after! Her property is amazing for pets! I definitely recommend and will book again with her!! Thanks Candi!”
“Brandon watched my 4 month old pup for the day and did a great job. As soon as I dropped her off she was running and playing. Brandon was easy to communicate with and the drop off and pick up was super simple. I’d definitely book Brandon again when I’m looking for someone to watch my husky pup.”
About: What could be better than a dog vacay at a real ranch? 2 ponds with bass and catfish to sniff out! Plenty of space to run and play with the other pups! There is a secure fence that surrounds the main house and another perimeter fence, that way the pups can only say hello to the cattle from a far. :) A special notice: there are cats and chickens on the property that roam around with the ranch dogs. Please keep this in mind as we love our chickens and cats as much as our dogs. I highly suggest a meet and greet for the newcomers before confirming a reservation at the ranch. The pups living the sweet life at the Sweet Ranch give it a unanimous "all paws up"!
“Some of the best doggie sitters out there! Our older little Paco has had a wonderful experience staying with Radha and Bart. Very professional and super attentive! Lovely people who sincerely look after our dog, and send lots of pictures and updates, which we appreciate so much. Highly recommended!!”
“We have a 5 month old Golden Retriever puppy who had never been around other people or dogs thanks to COVID. I had a last minute opportunity to get the vaccine but needed a place for the puppy. Sara was great and open to my unknown schedule since I had no idea how long I’d have to wait. Puppy had a good time. I’d definitely use Sara again.”
“Elisa was good with Shiloh and it looked like he enjoyed his stay without any big issues. She sent picture and updated to let me know he was ok and not giving her a hard time. Definitely was good at watching my puppy with no worries. Thanks again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs for about 7 years now. years now. Friends and family have relied on me to care for their pets (cats, dogs, hedgehogs). I've been known to be an animal person and we normally get comfortable with each other very quickly. I promise you, I'll love them like they're my own! :) I work from home which means I am a great person to sit with them all day or take them out on walks around the neighborhood! :) If I’m coming to you, I do my very best to respect your baby’s space and preferences. As much as I want to jump in and give them all the lovins’, I will wait until they are comfortable with me so they're not afraid. If you’re coming to me, we live in a first floor apartment right by the dog park, so, we have easy access for potty time! We also have lots of space to set up beds/food/toys/etc. Dogs are allowed on the couch and, depending on size, we don't mind them in the bed. I do have a dog of my own. Her name is Cleo and she is a small poodle mix. We will also bring her to the meet and greet so that she can be familiar. She can be a little shy, but never mean. She warms up fairly quickly and she's great at making people and other doggos feel welcome and comfortable. In a past life, she was a mama so she is very loving and gentle with puppies.
About: I’ve had pets since I was child and absolutely love animals. My kids have developed the same passion. We love taking care of animals as a family and have a few rescues of our own. Tito is our chihuahua who loves other small dogs. Our cats, Binx and Lizzie are tolerant of dogs and are use to having them around. I’m a stay at home mom to three kids. Except for the occasional outing or trip to the grocery store, we are just about always home. We have a very large fenced in back yard, so your pup will have plenty of room to play. Feel free to reach out with any questions, and I hope that you consider us to care for your fur babies. ❤️ Pickup and drop off is by appointment only. You can make an appointment for between the hours of 8am-6pm. Your appointment window cannot be greater than one hour. If you miss your drop off window by more than 15 minutes, the booking will be cancelled, and no refund given. If you are more than 15 minutes late picking up, you will have to reschedule your pickup time, if that means your pet stays another night, then you will be charged for an additional night plus a $30 inconvenience fee. I understand that things happen, and will work with you when unexpected events arise, but I’ve had too many people not respecting my time. I thank you for understanding. (: I follow care instructions completely. I give each animal one on one attention throughout the day. I treat them like they’re one of my kids. My children are very respectful of animals and are never left unsupervised with them.

About: Hello! My name is Jordan and I've been passionate towards all animals my entire life and have experience with a variety of different species. I've worked as an animal care intern at a wildlife rehab and as a kennel technician where my primary duties were to work closely with veterinary staff to provide care for animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience plus a life long history with animals has allowed me to recognize each pet's individual personalities so that I may tailor my care to fit their exact needs. My goal is to treat your pets with respect and warmth in order to ensure their happiness while you’re away. I'm sensitive, flexible and empathetic to the individual needs of your pet so that their time apart from you is happy and stress free. I'm communicative and open so that you can rest assured knowing how much fun your pet is having under my care. As a pet parent of many different species myself, I understand the dedication and love you have for your pets and I understand the desire for an accountable, kind caregiver. I am also able to accommodate any special requests, such as if you would prefer your dog be crated during certain times, if your pet needs medications administered during the day and much more. Additionally, I have experience with invertebrates, reptiles, birds, small mammals, dogs and cats. I live on 20 acres of mowed and maintained land with a secure fence that will give your babies plenty of space to run around and explore. In addition, I provide a cozy, peaceful home environment where your pet is welcome to explore, settle in, and relax at their own pace. With plenty of comfortable spaces to lounge, play, and feel secure, I strive to create an stress-free atmosphere that helps every pet feel right at home during their stay. If I’m going to your home, I will be respectful and courteous to any rules and maintain the standard of care you treat your animals with. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to care for pets in a way that truly fits their individual needs. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can adjust feeding times, walks, play, and quiet moments based on each pet’s personality, age, and energy level. This flexibility means my care isn’t one-size-fits-all. If your pet needs more frequent bathroom breaks, extra exercise, or just a little reassurance and companionship, I’m able to respond right away instead of sticking to a strict timetable and I can easily monitor changes in behavior or health. My daily routine may be full, but it’s adaptable—and that makes all the difference in giving pets the individualized attention they deserve. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, supervised environment where they can relax and follow a consistent routine. When caring for your pets at your home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so they feel comfortable and secure. My hands-on experience working with many types of animals—different species, breeds, ages and temperaments—gives me the confidence to handle everything. Whether you need me to care for your scaly, feathered, or furry friends, my goal is always the same: to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away.
About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals, my own and others, since I was very young. I am comfortable around all dogs- I’m happy to take care of puppies, as well as older pups, who need their own TLC. If you entrust me with the privilege of looking after your fur baby, I will love them as if they are my own! I am happy to make drop ins/potty breaks/walks with your pup as needed. I am mostly available weekdays from 7-5pm but if needed, we can work together to find a schedule that works for your fur baby, as I can be flexible. I can work according to your needs. When caring for an animal in your home or mine, I will always be extra careful with opening and closing doors, to make sure no dog becomes an escape artist! I can feed, bathe, give medication, etc, as needed. Any special instructions, I am more than happy to adapt and learn how best to take care of your animal. When I come to care for your animal, I devote my time to loving them.
About: I’m new to the rover app but, I’m not new to taking care of fur babies! While growing up we always had pets. When I left for college I got a puppy because of how much I missed my pups at home. I potty trained him all on my own while also juggling being a student athlete. I want to help out the best I can, so put me to work:) I am a part time hitting coach in the evenings so, I will have plenty of time to help you with your fur babies. I am off every weekend. I can take your pets on walks or play fetch to get them moving. I also can sit and just love on your pups whenever you are at work or away for a bit.
“Kimmie was amazing from the beginning, easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and helped me out when my usual dog walker was out of town. Will rebook when I need a walker again! Thanks Kimmie!”
About: I’ve been a big dog lover since I was practically born! I love all kinds of the dogs, the big, the small, the crazy, and the shy ones! I’m good with medicine and scheduled feeding sessions! I’ve taken care of dogs that have medical issues, such as seizures or joint issues. I can handle the hyper puppies and cuddle the lazy senior dogs❤️ I’m ready to treat your dog with love and patience! Hi! My name is Faith and i’m 20 years old. I work part time right now so i’m free to care for any animal during the day and night! I work at a horse ranch between 3-6 pm during the weekday, so I can be with your dog all day! I do have dogs of my own but they will always stay home! When house sitting or drop in visits, I will make sure everything is safe during visits or outside time! I’m good with crating dogs or doing whatever they need to feel safe around me
“Brooke is amazing! She is so good with my pups. They are young and maybe a little wild, but Brooke is so patient with them. I have absolutely no worries when they are with her. I think they may enjoy walking with her even more than me! :) Brooke has been flexible and is very dependable. So glad we found her!”
About: -Experience with puppies (care & training) -Owner of a senior dog -Patient and kind to all animals no matter the breed, shape, or size -Experience with high energy breeds I am currently working full time throughout the week, so pet care works for me after 5pm. I will be available anytime throughout the weekend. I am familiar with safely and respectfully crating pets and have done so with my own dogs. I make sure the area is clean and comfortable especially if the pet will be left for long periods of time.
About: I have worked with small dogs and big dogs and nervous dogs- I have owned my own doggo (a shih tzu bichon mix for 10 years) since I rescued her from a poodle shelter. I have worked as an assistant training emotional support animals at a rehabilitation facility (: I would love to hang out with your doggo babies when you need me! I am an early riser and work part-time in pet care. It is my primary job- I have regular clients that are my own aside of rover so my calendar on app may be inaccurate. In the clients home- your pet(s) are my first priority and my second priority is your home. Boarding at my home- your pet is still my first priority! We have 1 budgie, 2 cockatiels, 3 dogs, and 2 kittens!
About: With over five years of hands on experience in dog training, boarding, and walking, caring for animals isn’t just something I do for work, it’s something I genuinely love. For the past two years, I’ve supervised a busy boarding and grooming facility, managing daycare groups, giving medications, handling emergency situation when they arose, and making sure every dog and cat received the individual attention they deserve. I’m currently in school to become a vet tech, which helps me better understand animal health, behavior, and safety and gives pet parents extra peace of mind. Whether your pet needs structure/routine, medication support, or just plenty of playtime and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own, safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way! Pet care fits really well into my schedule right now. I’ve recently moved to Austin and I’m finishing up vet tech school, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the week. My classes allow me to plan my days around walks, drop ins, daycare, or boarding needs, and I’m used to balancing school with hands on animal care. I will mostly be doing all my services from your home (client) When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick to the routine and rules already in place. I make sure the pets get their usual meals, walks, and playtime, and I follow any instructions for medication, feeding, or behavior. I also do a quick check of the house each visit, making sure doors are secure, water is fresh, and litter boxes are clean. I can always be reached and will be happy to send updates or photos as needed. Overall, my goal is to make sure your pet(s) feel safe and relaxed in their own environment while their owner is away!
“We will definitely be a repeat client! Our girl was so happy to get her visits during the day and she was in constant communication with us! Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”
About: I've had animals since I was a girl and haven't been without a pet since I was 10 years of age. Have had multiple dogs and cats at one time but now down to one 13-yr old male. Will always love and have pets as they are an integral part of my life. I derive much joy from their presence. Daily walks and attention to my own dog and look in on friend's dogs when they're away. My dog has his own bed for daytime but sleeps in my bed at night. I have a good sense about animals and will follow the routine they're used to. I love to connect with any animal if they want it and will give cuddles and rubs for comfort and love ❤️

If they have everything they need and stay on their regular schedule, we can have a lot of fun! I enjoy taking dogs to the park, going on walks, and helping training for new tricks.
About: My lifelong passion for all animals has developed into a professional career for over eight years. I have worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages in a wide range of care facilities. I am familiar with canine behavior and activity, including socialization, enrichment and exercise. During my time working with dogs, I have become skilled at spotting potential health, environmental and behavior issues and will react as needed to ensure your pet’s safety. While my professional experience has been primarily with dogs, I am comfortable with cats as well! Please note: I do not work with dogs with a history of human aggression. I'm a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule (child not included during my outings!) I am working towards my goal of opening a luxury care facility for senior dogs while in the meantime striving to ensure all of my clients' pets are well loved and cared for in their owner’s absence. I am full of energy and ready to work out with your pups! Upon arrival, I always check and double check your pet’s sleeping area for any potty accidents to clean up. I will ensure your pet is eating and drinking, changing their water and food bowls frequently. My visits are full of love, enrichment and exercise!
About: I've cared for animals from birth to senior care. I hope you'll trust me to care for your pet with the same love and affection that I do my own. I am home and live alone. There are no children here and I am available for constant love, care and affection. I hope you'll trust me to care for your baby as though they're mine, with all consideration that you would hope for. I have a fenced yard on 2.5 acres and I love to work outdoors, gardening, planting saplings, etc. Your pet would be constantly monitored and played with during all hours.
About: My name is Sydney M. I am a sweet and loving 19 year old girl. Born and raised in Lafayette, Indiana. I have 2 dogs of my own, I have had dogs my whole life! I love them! Love going on walks and playing with animals. I adore cats and dogs, mainly little dogs because big dogs frighten me a little bit... if they are well trained and don’t tug on the leash while walking, they are okay! Available anytime everyday, I have another job at platos closet, but I’m mostly free for the most part. I would love to walk them anytime it makes me happy:) I am very flexible! Contact my cell phone at any time. Thank you and I look forward to meeting!!!
About: I have been working part time with Rover for several years. I recently had to put my 13-year-old lab down, so I do not currently have any pets. Animals are the brightest part of our world and nothing makes me happier than spending time with doggies and kitties. I currently volunteer for PALS, a program under Meals on Wheels, that provides food for animals in senior homes. I loved to walk my dog and would be more than happy to provide dog walking services to others on the weekends. I work weekdays, but am available after 5 pm and will work Saturdays, and Sundays. I cannot wait to get started and meet all the sweet babies! I currently work weekdays, but can devote time after work and weekends. I can utilize lunch breaks to check on pets and nights and weekends for more one on one time. I own a home with a fenced in yard for my dog. I will do anything and everything to ensure your animal’s safety and happiness.

“Absolutely loved working with Chad! He was really patient and took such special care of my sweet boy. I got tons of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which really helped ease my mind. I also appreciated getting to do a meet and greet beforehand so I could see where my dog would be staying. It made a huge difference. I’d definitely recommend Chad if your dog has separation anxiety or doesn’t do well in crates. He doesn’t take on too many overnighters at once, so I knew my dog wouldn’t just be a number. Great experience all around!”
“Jeff was great with Milo! He sent us updates and pictures and genuinely seemed so excited to have Milo at his house. It made us feel at ease that Milo was in a safe and loving environment. We will definitely be booking with Jeff again when we need someone to watch Milo.”
“Mina was absolutely wonderful in taking care of our Teddy! She went above and beyond, constantly sending us pictures and videos, which made us feel connected and reassured the entire time. Thanks to her updates, we never had the chance to miss him too much. Teddy was clearly happy and well-loved in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter — highly recommended! We are going back to her again and again ! :)”
“Natalee is great. She took care of my dogs on short notice and treated them like her own. I appreciated the updates from her and how responsive she is concerning individual dog care institutions. Highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Jerica was super quick at responding to a very last minute request from us to look after Autumn! She was very patient and loving with our girl. Hopefully she’ll be willing to help us out in the future again :)”
“Brandon took very good care of our dog Moses. He sent us pictures of him most everyday showing how well our dog was doing. Brandon had a few other dogs to keep Moses entertained and enough room for all dogs to enjoy themselves. I will definitely use Brandon again in the future. Thank you for watching Moses for us.”
“Heather has been such a great sitter for my dog. She is patient and understanding, especially since my dog has separation anxiety. She is super responsive, professional and friendly. I'm so glad I've found such a reliable person & family to watch Ridley while traveling.”
“Princie is great with my dog. Princie was so accommodating and patient to my questions and inquiries. My dog is very comfortable there with boarding as she gets anxious and nervous in new environments and people. Princie ensured she was comfortable and able to settle in well, along with their dog as well. Clean and tidy home. So glad to have found her. Will definitely be using Princie again very soon!”
“Miho is so good with Bailey. He clearly likes her, and he's not fast to trust and like people. She is very communicative and trustworthy. She is good at building a relationship with Bailey and meeting his needs beyond the basics of food and water.”
“Rosie stayed with Tim for a few nights and I know that she was well taken care of. I received plenty of pictures and updates during the stay. Will definitely book again in the future.”
“We had someone cancel on us and we reached out to Sara last minute to drop off 4 large dogs (including a 4 month old puppy) and the whole experience was as great as we could have planned. Sara and her family were amazing. The communication and pictures provided comfort to us to know our dogs were having a great time while we were away. We will reach out to Sara to take care of our dogs in the future - she has earned a customer for life. Thank you Sara!”
“Renada is a great caretaker. My experience has always been amazing and she really loves dogs. She has given her all to take amazing care of my dog and I could not be happier with her services.”
“Cheyenne took amazing care of my cat while I was on a trip! I got daily updates with pictures and letting me know how he was doing. She loved on him like he was her own. He didn’t want to leave with me which means he had a great time!”
“Jordan came through last minute for us and was awesome! She has an awesome house for dogs and it was well worth the drive from Austin to drop my pups off. Provided lots of pictures and updated. Will definitely book again when needed!”
“We had an amazing experience with Kristina! 😊 She provided great communication, wonderful photos and videos, and her family with their friendly dogs made our pups feel right at home. Our dogs, Coco and Leo, had a blast making new friends! 👍 What truly made our experience special was when Kristina celebrated Coco’s birthday while we were away - it was our first time leaving him on his special day, and she made it truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Kristina 100%! I wish I can give her 100 stars if we could ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟... She's top- notch care with love, and we'll always use her services again. ❤️ Thank you, Kristina, and your beautiful family for everything! 🙏🥰"”
“I highly recommend Candi to watch after your pets! Her setup was great and I got daily updates, and she was very flexible when my schedule changed unexpectedly!! The dogs came home happy and tuckered out from all the fun!!”
