Dog Walking West Congress

About: I’ve spent my whole life taking care of pets and I have gained experience both in professional and personal settings. I have worked with a wide variety of dogs and cats with all kinds of routines and care needs and have no trouble adapting! I am available during mid June to mid September 2026 since I’m an out of state college student and this is my summer break! I am available for most of the week and can be flexible. Caring for your pet(s) in your home won’t be much of a hassle for me! I’ll be keeping an eye on your pet(s) at all times and will keep to whatever routine you give me. If you’re worried about playtime and cuddles, there’s no need because I plan to give your pet(s) all the attention they deserve and more!

“Excellent pics! My girls can be a handful but they were smiling by the end of their walk with Dan! It was a comfort to have him checking in, walking them providing treats, and topping off their water ❤️”

“Gihan is the best. She was super sweet, and took great care of my pups. She also sent over a bunch of pictures which is always great. :) Definitely going to reach out to her again next time I need help with pups. Thanks again for all your help, Gihan!!”

“Amanda was quick to help out in a pinch and always spent more than the required amount of time with my pup. Would book again!”

“Our boy loves walks with Lillian! We’ve been regulars with Lillian for a few months now. She is dependable, responsive, and flexible if plans change or we need coverage. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”

About: Growing up with three dogs taught me not only how to love and care for them, but also how to confidently handle all kinds of situations. From puppy accidents to energetic zoomies, I've learned what our furry friends need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail. Above all, I truly have a big heart for every pet I meet and will care for yours as if they were my own. I recently moved to the amazing city of Austin and am excited to meet new people—and their furry friends! While I'm still searching for the right full-time opportunity, I figured this was the perfect way to stay active doing something I genuinely enjoy. Whether it's walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I'm here to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, and I'd love to help care for your best friend! I currently live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where your furry friend will receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where your pet feels right at home. With several parks and walking trails nearby, they'll enjoy plenty of exercise, playtime, and outdoor adventures. I treat every pet like they're my own.

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.

“Did a fantastic job taking care of my cat & dog while I was on a work trip. Very communicative & timely.”

“Paige is so awesome with my boy Benny! What a gift she is as I was so worried about leaving my boy. She is so attentive and loving with him. 🤗”

“Aryanna is an absolute GEM. I’ve been using Rover for years now and she is hands down one of the best sitters I’ve found on the app. We were in Austin for two months and I was so lucky to find such a trustworthy, reliable, caring, and communicative walker and sitter for my pup Maizy while we were working or out with friends. Maizy requires extra attention on walks as she is quite the sidewalk surfer (i.e., will eat anything and everything she comes across), and Aryanna keep an eagle eye on her at all times, even pulling things out of her mouth when she would try to sneak something. She was also really great with Maizy when she was sitting for us and thunderstorms rolled through, checking in to see if there was anything she could do to make her more comfortable and ensuring she felt safe. Aryanna always gives very detailed notes after every walk or visit and was incredibly communicative which I appreciated so much. She gave me so much peace of mind during these two months knowing Maizy was in the best hands and I will absolutely work with her again when we are down in Austin next. If I could give Aryanna more than 5 stars I would!!!”

“Allison was great! She was able to accommodate my request in such short notice and my girl was able to have her walk and company while I was away for the day.”

Andrea F.

“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! 🐾”

Kristin V.

“First time actually having a reliable person that actually showed up, Chelsea was very nice handled my dog with extra care and I love the photos that was taken along their walk. I will be booking again with Chelsea..”

Tiffany D.

“Christine was a life saver during our recent visit to Austin. The hotel we were staying at didn’t have a pet area and the closest grassy area was several blocks away. Our Pomeranian Gigi loved her outings with Christine, she is highly recommended.”

Antonio M.

“Kayla is always super sweet and helpful with my dog! Gives great updates and detailed rover cards. I always feel like my dog is in good hands when she comes to walk her. 💛”

About: I’ve personally taken care of dogs and cats for over the last 15 years and currently have my own pup! I have never met a dog I didn’t immediately love and my partner calls me a dog whisperer because of how great I can bond with them. I currently work full time at Dirty Dog - Grooming and Boarding so my schedule is very fluid and I’m often available during the day on weekdays as well as weekends. My partner also works from home so there is always an extra set of helping hands when needed! In my time off, I enjoy reading, paddle boarding on the lake, practicing yoga, and a new hobby of mine - rock painting! I would love to add taking care of other people’s fur babies to my list of activities (: In my own home, my dog and dogs I’m sitting will get frequent walks and visits to the local dog park. We also have plenty of space and toys for animals to enjoy themselves inside my home. In terms of trust, I will always follow a pets lead when it comes to how they’re feeling and what their needs are. Making sure an animal feels comfortable and safe will always be top priority.

“Dale was easy to work with for our last-minute dog walking needs, and he went above and beyond to ensure both my young and senior dog were taken care of. Thanks, Dale!”

About: Took a break from Rover as my job was more demanding but now back to having more flexibility and being remote full-time and want to put meaningful time back into Rover. During my time away from the app, I still continued to care for neighbors and friends animals. From puppies to older dogs that require a slower pace and / or specific care instructions. I grew up with dogs, so I have had the opportunity to care for a variety of dogs at all different ages and health conditions. I'm very adaptable to what they need. Have cared for dogs that love a lot of outdoor time and others that just want to lay on the couch. Have also cared for dogs that need special care - inclusive of special diets / eating times, administering medication and behavioral issues with people and other animals. I love love a good game of catch and never get tired of giving belly rubs and scratches behind the ear. I'm work from home full-time, so have plenty of time to care for your dog or cat. I can do walks any time of the day, head to the park or spend time with them in the house so they aren’t alone all day. For dogs, I have no issues taking them on a drive or in a store, if you are comfortable with that as well! I grew up with cats and dogs and currently have two cats of my own and share a backyard with my neighbor that has a dog. I’d care for them as I do the ones I am around every day. They are part of the family! Lots of love :) Most importantly I understand they are all different. So in order to provide the right care, I’ll take the time to ask the right questions and understand your pet so they get the care they need and deserve while you are away.

“Madeline is amazing! Very punctual, super reliable, and does great with my dog. I trust her completely and I know my dog is in good hands with her. I highly recommend!”
