“Morgan took great care of my border collie/healer mix dog while I was gone on a 5 day trip. She has 2 other similar sized dogs, and mine got along well with them. She sent pictures to me during the stay too. I'll definitely use her service in the future!”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with a rover sitter, and we are super glad we went with Justin! He did a great job making our fur babies comfortable while we were away, we will definitely be using him again for our future sitting needs!”
“I can’t recommend Kelly enough! He was incredibly responsive and accommodating, even with my last-minute request. He was thoughtful in understanding Rambos behavior and needs during drop off and kept me updated with frequent photos throughout the week. His dog Jasper was wonderful with Rambo and they seemed to be having so much fun running in the huge backyard and playing together. It was clear Kelly cared about my pups wellbeing and ensured he had an abundance of attention, exercise and playtime. I felt at ease knowing Rambo was in such good hands!”
“Jennifer took amazing care of my dogs while I was away. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures of them. Would have her watch them again and I definitely recommend her.”
“Not enough adjectives to describe Boyd's vacationat Kyle's!! . Kyle is energetic, warm, enthusiastic about what he does and welcomed us heartily. He had absolutely everything my boy loves: wide open spaces ti run, a large pool and smaller plastic one and always other pups to play endlessly with! Boyd paired up with one of Kyle's pups who matched his energy level and large size and they literally played until they both collapsed! Kyle sent many snapshots that captured Boyd playing and sleeping ( next to his fave pal!) Kyle was perfectly flexible when pickup time was a bit late due to traffic from the airport. I will most definitely be calling Kyle again in the future!!!”

About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.
“Katherine was awesome! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and her experience and photo magic put us at ease! Katherine did a great job providing us with updates and our puppy loved playing with Katherine’s dog. Our puppy has a big personality and Katherine was the perfect sitter for the task!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a real dog owner first. I understand dogs because I live with them every day—not just during appointments. I’m patient, observant, and I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior dogs who need a slower pace, extra care, and patience. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for. I do work overnight at Tesla however during the days I can walk (dogs) or sit (cats/dogs) from noon to 5pm. On the weekends I can board animals overnight. I have a fully fenced yard, plus two dogs and a cat who are all very pet-friendly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to be extra respectful of both your pet and your space.
About: Hi my name Destiny and I'm 31 years old. Dogs are my life, I also used to work at a dog day care before I decided to begin one on my own. I've always loved animals since I was a little girl and knew I wanted to work with them. I decided that caring for other dogs as if their were my own is absolutely an amazing feeling to make a pup feel safe while you're away. Also I have taken on a variety of dogs and tend to their needs such as grooming, medication and love! Experience with 20+ dogs in 1room with me and I absolutly love my job! I'm very aware of avoiding and stopping dog fights and noticing small injuries from rough playing. I can make sure your baby is safe and well for your return. I work from home that has a high flexibility for me to step away when needed to be able to tend to your pets needs. I start my work at home at 5:30 am and able to step away when ever your fur babies need attention or care. Once I clock out at 2, I may go run errands to start dinner. But I’m a homebody and much rather be in with dogs than be out and about.
“Yari was an excellent babysitter for my sweet boy King!! He loved being with her and she kept us updated all the time about him. I would 100% go back to use her again to King!!! ?% recommended!!??????????”
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“Laura was great with taking care of my baby & keeping me updated a few times each day with his outings & home activities with her. I would recommend Laura to other dog pawrents & book her services again.”
About: My entire life we have always had pets. I am a huge pet lover. Growing up I don’t think there was a time we ever didn’t have a dog. Now currently I own an almost 5 year old german shepherd and 2 cats. I would do anything for my pets and would love to be there for yours. I currently do work full time so feedings and walks would be the easiest for me schedule wise. But anytime I do have the free time I would love to pet sit for you! I am such a big animal person I would love to play with them go on walks/ runs, do some training, and make sure they get plenty of food and treats!
About: Howdy yall! My name is Brett and I live in Smithville (78957), just east of Austin. My house has a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and is great for extended stays. I’ve raised many breeds of dog, including helping the birthing process! Must be friendly with other dogs, as I have dogs who get along great with all manner of beasts. I work from home and literally have no social life in this small town. Point is, I am a home body that is always working on my home and sanctuary. Dogs here get constant attention, treats, and lots of yard time. I love taking long walks in the neighborhood with the dogs and it’s a great area for it! There are several areas for dogs to sleep and make themselves at home. Each room has a dog bed and the living room couch is owned by the dogs. I am currently kenneling one dog who has a leg injury, so I’m patient with pups and know how to administer medications.

“Stacey was excellent in every aspect during her drop in visits with our three dogs and cats. She kept a very close eye on a skin irritation that had developed on one our dogs and she updated us with pics daily. She was truly concerned with the health of our pets. We could not recommend her more. She is fantastic.”
“Christine is excellent! What I like about her is she communicates well and clearly follows every instruction you ask her. Paris our cat was well taken care of. She was on time and updated if she's on her way and once she finished the drop-in. Definitely a trusted sitter! I will highly recommend her. Thank you so much Christine! :)”

“Michelle was an awesome caretaker while I was away! The kitties were stressed out and gave her some extra work but she helped me out and took care of the the cats no problem and kept me updated every step of the way. Felt completely confident while I was away. Would definitely hire her again in the future.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sandy Fork
“Kyle was very friendly and professional when I dropped my dog off to him, he was flexible with my work schedule. I highly recommend him. I could tell that my dog had a good time when I picked him up. I for sure will use him in the future. Thank you Kyle!”
About: Dogs are a huge part of my life, and I truly care about their health, happiness, and comfort. I own a dog food company and a founder of Paws on the Street, a 501(c)(3), so caring for animals is more than just something I enjoy. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get the love, attention, and dependable care they deserve while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day for your pooch. Safety, trust, and comfort are very important to me. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard that gives dogs plenty of space to safely play, explore, and get exercise in a secure environment.
“Norman was very accommodating to take care of my Petey Poo at the last minute! Petey has a lil separation anxiety and Stephen totally understood and helped sooth him.”
About: Hello all pet parents! I am new to Rover. I've recently relocated to Luling, TX. I am looking for small gigs like taking care of furry friends because pets are my life, as I'm sure they are yours too! Most of my professional and personal experiences with pets have been with dogs and cats, to include feedings, scheduled walks and playtimes, administering medications, bathing, nail trims, and just plain ol' cuddling. I am big on SAFETY as it is the most important thing when your pet is away from you or in someone else's care. I understand different breeds may need different types of attention, especially when factoring in age and certain health conditions. Please allow me a chance to meet your pup (or cat) and help you out occasionally! Cheers! (Smaller critters welcome, we all need a little checking on!) I’m currently a stay at home pet mom while I attend online classes to become an educator, which is self paced. It is very easy for me to balance your pets needs with my own! I may allow overnight boarding from time to time in my own home, I will keep my calendar open for that accordingly. I can take your pets outside to favored parks or areas, or care for them in your own home. I do not wish to stay overnight in your home, but may be available for extended hours.

About: I love dogs. My past pet experience are amazing dogs are the most pure-hearted animals I know. One comment I get a lot of that I attracted a lot of animals, cats too. I love cats as much as dogs, one think that will set me apart from other sitters is that I want the dog to trust me. I want the dogs I take care of to see me as someone that they are ok with and not someone that is just there to watch them. I want them to enjoy the time with me as much as I will enjoy my time with them. Cats as well I want your animals to trust me as much as you will trust me to take care of them. i’m currently in school with no job but i will work after and on weekends, i love animals and don’t mind spending most my time with them. i live with my mom and we have a big yard(1.8 acres) so they live running out side and i have a big room with lots of space and a big bed so animals can lay on it.
About: Hi there! I’m a Minnesota born, Bastrop-based dog lover and I’m glad you’ve found my profile. I've been around dogs my entire life and believe a dog makes a house a home. My own fur baby, Milou, is a 5 year old lab mix who loves other dogs and people. He will gladly accept a pal to join us on walks, or chase around the backyard. I have 5+ years experience volunteering with various animal shelters and a plethora of nights & weekends spent house/dog sitting for friends and family. I love to explore new trails, parks, & hikes so your pup's stay will be an active one! I am also a runner and will gladly take your dog along to burn off some extra energy. I took a couple years off from Rover as my family relocated several times. Now that we are settled in the Austin area, I am ready to get back to dog sitting/walking/boarding, and hope to meet you soon! I work from home so I am around to provide company, potty breaks, and perhaps even a lunchtime trip to the dog park! Canine coworkers are my favorite. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to roam safely. My dog loves hanging out back there and would enjoy a teammate to help him put the neighborhood squirrels in their place ;)

About: Hi, I’m Nyeira! As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and currently have three dogs of my own. Two were adopted from shelters, and one was a stray I rescued while in college. Caring for pets from different backgrounds has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable in new situations. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs and cats because they know I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I will make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, although I generally prefer working with dogs under 80 pounds. Communication is extremely important to me. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have open availability and ask that bookings or cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am able to provide care in the form of house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on what works best for you and your pet. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I am fully committed to caring for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I am adaptable with timing and happy to follow your preferred schedule and routine to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it, with clear communication and dependable availability. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every pet care situation. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I provide care in the client’s home through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any specific behavioral or comfort preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and am comfortable administering medications when needed. I also provide consistent updates, including messages and photos, so pet parents can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy presence for pets—minimizing stress by maintaining their normal routine and treating their space and care instructions with respect and attentiveness.
About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, I would love the opportunity to care for yours. Whether you need someone to look after them and love on them while you’re out of town, too busy with the chaos of the work week, or you’re just too worn out after a long day to take them for a walk. . I’m your gal! 🙂👍🏼 For boarding opportunities, I have a huge fenced yard, and lots of space in my house with hardwood floors for easy clean up when pups make accidents. Also I usually drive for uber so I have a very open schedule to be able to give the attention necessary for my clientele. I’m making myself more available on rover app now that I know the holidays are right around the corner and many people need extra help with their furry friends. I’d love the opportunity to help make your life a little less ruff. Hope to meet y’all soon! 🙂 I’ve recently made myself a lot more available to both Wag and Rover apps. Since I make my own schedule, it offers me the ability to care for my clientele and cater to their personal preferences and needs, providing a better experience for your furry friends and you. Every animal I’ve had a chance to be a sitter for has had their own unique situations and needs throughout the day. I understand schedules, health problems, medications, walk times, eating times, etc, change with every client opportunity. I’m able to provide services that make it easy for the animals to adjust to a new place when boarding for multiple days, sticking to their normal every day routines requested by the pet parent.

About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dog, Rosemary, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, many nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee. I have taken care of my own animals my entire life. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. Many of my pets have required medicine in their old age, so I am very comfortable administering medicine to an animal. I have dog-sat as well as house-sat on multiple occasions. One thing unique to me is my want for the animals to have as much freedom as possible. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh! Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent.
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember. From dogs/cats to hampers and lizards, I’ve cared for them. Animals are my passion! It’s not just a job, it’s my life. I am currently home full time so I’m almost always available on weekdays and weekends. I’m very flexible and cooperative so I can work around different schedules.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, and other animals, for as long as I can remember. Animals are my passion and I love every single kind I currently don’t have a job, trying to find an at home or anima care job. In the meantime I would love to care for your animals. I’m available all day every day. I live in a small apartment with 2 dogs already, sadly I won’t be able to home your dog, however I am more then willing to come to your house to care for them. I’m a stay at home mom, so my availability is pretty open. My husband and I only have 1 car and my husband works nights, so it is more challenging to take care of pets past 4:30pm. I cannot board pets in my home, I have a tiny house and no fence. I can come to your home to care for them, no problem.
About: I have lots of experience with different types of animals. We have three inside kitties that were rescued when they were still bottle feeding. Two years ago we lost our 19 year old Labrador to old age. And the year before that we lost our 16 year old chow chow to old age. I will feed, water, walk and clean up after the babies. I am a full time convenience store manager for TXB. I Rover on the side to help my youngest daughter pay for college. She is currently earning her masters degree and I want to be able to help as much as possible. I am available most evenings after 6p. During the summer I am available all day Friday and Saturday. During the winter I am available all day Saturday and Sunday. I do not wish to care for anyone’s fur babies in my home. It would stress my kitties and I will not put them through any stress. I will take very good care of your fur babies in your home. I will follow all instructions given for their care and do my best to make the visit as comfortable as possible for the babies.
About: I have grown up with many dogs by my side and have always been the one to call when the dogs need a walk or just some cuddles! I am currently unemployed so I can work whenever throughout the week and whenever during the day! I might have some special occasions here and there but should be free anytime! I will make sure the dogs are properly cared for and have whatever they need and more! I will make sure that not only do they have what they need, but also show love and affection all throughout out time together!
About: I always make sure my pet babies are well fed and clean water everyday. Cages or areas well cleaned and tidy. Organize their space well. Take the time to hold/pet each one individually one on one time with me. Its a daily,weekly,nightly routine. I have to make sure my babies are looking good, feeling good. I take my time to clean and feed and hold each pet so they know I love them dearly. I would treat a clients pet just as I would my own with love and understanding. Patient is very important when caring for any pet. I would love it as it was my own.
About: I enjoy the freedom to work from home while hosting guest dogs for my dog, Lulu, to socialize and play with. I’ll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. I’ve done dog walks and pet sitting for over five years and have LOVED every step! I’m so excited to join Rover and provide exceptional care to your babies, to love them and protect them as if my own! You can be sure that if your pets are in my care they will be well-loved and taken care of. I enjoy volunteering my time with local dog rescues, hiking as well as spending time with my family. Thank you and see you soon!
About: I have grown up on a small ranch, raising everything between cats, dogs, & cattle! I will be sure to love & care for your fur babies like my own! I am currently a student living in San Marcos. My class times depend on the day of the week, including clinical hours. Overall, I am very flexible & will be able to work with you! I have a decent sized apartment in San Marcos, which also has a dog park on the property! But am absolutely willing to travel to dog parks/ walking trails!
About: I have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.
About: My entire life we have always had pets. I am a huge pet lover. Growing up I don’t think there was a time we ever didn’t have a dog. Now currently I own an almost 5 year old german shepherd and 2 cats. I would do anything for my pets and would love to be there for yours. I currently do work full time so feedings and walks would be the easiest for me schedule wise. But anytime I do have the free time I would love to pet sit for you! I am such a big animal person I would love to play with them go on walks/ runs, do some training, and make sure they get plenty of food and treats!

“Morgan took great care of my border collie/healer mix dog while I was gone on a 5 day trip. She has 2 other similar sized dogs, and mine got along well with them. She sent pictures to me during the stay too. I'll definitely use her service in the future!”
“This was our first time leaving our dogs with a rover sitter, and we are super glad we went with Justin! He did a great job making our fur babies comfortable while we were away, we will definitely be using him again for our future sitting needs!”
“I can’t recommend Kelly enough! He was incredibly responsive and accommodating, even with my last-minute request. He was thoughtful in understanding Rambos behavior and needs during drop off and kept me updated with frequent photos throughout the week. His dog Jasper was wonderful with Rambo and they seemed to be having so much fun running in the huge backyard and playing together. It was clear Kelly cared about my pups wellbeing and ensured he had an abundance of attention, exercise and playtime. I felt at ease knowing Rambo was in such good hands!”
“Jennifer took amazing care of my dogs while I was away. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures of them. Would have her watch them again and I definitely recommend her.”
“Not enough adjectives to describe Boyd's vacationat Kyle's!! . Kyle is energetic, warm, enthusiastic about what he does and welcomed us heartily. He had absolutely everything my boy loves: wide open spaces ti run, a large pool and smaller plastic one and always other pups to play endlessly with! Boyd paired up with one of Kyle's pups who matched his energy level and large size and they literally played until they both collapsed! Kyle sent many snapshots that captured Boyd playing and sleeping ( next to his fave pal!) Kyle was perfectly flexible when pickup time was a bit late due to traffic from the airport. I will most definitely be calling Kyle again in the future!!!”

About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.
“Katherine was awesome! This was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and her experience and photo magic put us at ease! Katherine did a great job providing us with updates and our puppy loved playing with Katherine’s dog. Our puppy has a big personality and Katherine was the perfect sitter for the task!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a real dog owner first. I understand dogs because I live with them every day—not just during appointments. I’m patient, observant, and I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as senior dogs who need a slower pace, extra care, and patience. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for. I do work overnight at Tesla however during the days I can walk (dogs) or sit (cats/dogs) from noon to 5pm. On the weekends I can board animals overnight. I have a fully fenced yard, plus two dogs and a cat who are all very pet-friendly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to be extra respectful of both your pet and your space.
About: Hi my name Destiny and I'm 31 years old. Dogs are my life, I also used to work at a dog day care before I decided to begin one on my own. I've always loved animals since I was a little girl and knew I wanted to work with them. I decided that caring for other dogs as if their were my own is absolutely an amazing feeling to make a pup feel safe while you're away. Also I have taken on a variety of dogs and tend to their needs such as grooming, medication and love! Experience with 20+ dogs in 1room with me and I absolutly love my job! I'm very aware of avoiding and stopping dog fights and noticing small injuries from rough playing. I can make sure your baby is safe and well for your return. I work from home that has a high flexibility for me to step away when needed to be able to tend to your pets needs. I start my work at home at 5:30 am and able to step away when ever your fur babies need attention or care. Once I clock out at 2, I may go run errands to start dinner. But I’m a homebody and much rather be in with dogs than be out and about.
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“Laura was great with taking care of my baby & keeping me updated a few times each day with his outings & home activities with her. I would recommend Laura to other dog pawrents & book her services again.”

About: Howdy yall! My name is Brett and I live in Smithville (78957), just east of Austin. My house has a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and is great for extended stays. I’ve raised many breeds of dog, including helping the birthing process! Must be friendly with other dogs, as I have dogs who get along great with all manner of beasts. I work from home and literally have no social life in this small town. Point is, I am a home body that is always working on my home and sanctuary. Dogs here get constant attention, treats, and lots of yard time. I love taking long walks in the neighborhood with the dogs and it’s a great area for it! There are several areas for dogs to sleep and make themselves at home. Each room has a dog bed and the living room couch is owned by the dogs. I am currently kenneling one dog who has a leg injury, so I’m patient with pups and know how to administer medications.
About: I have watched really any animal there is for 10+ years! I’m that reliable person you call when you need someone to take care of your pets! I’m currently open full time! I can do walks during the say or pet sit overnight. I can manage multiple pets at a time as well! I can easily crate your pet if needed! I also have a beautiful dog park close by and awesome trails I can take your pet too!
