“Thank you so much to Aryanna, she writes such detailed reports and takes such great care of our dog, who - admittedly - is not easy to deal with. We appreciate you Aryanna and can only give our warmest recommendations to anyone looking for a dog walker or sitter!”
About: Hi! My girlfriend and I are dedicated and experienced Rover sitters with a true passion for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’ve spent years caring for pets through Rover and beyond, building a strong reputation for reliability, attentiveness, and creating a safe, fun environment for every dog I watch. One thing that makes my care unique is that my partner and I work together as a team. With both of us present, your dog gets double the attention, supervision, and playtime. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just keeping your pup company, we make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and loved at all times. I have experience with: • High-energy dogs that need lots of activity • Senior dogs requiring extra patience and care • Maintaining routines (feeding schedules, medications, etc.) We treat every dog like family and focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication while you’re away so you always know your pet is in good hands. If you’re looking for dependable, attentive care with plenty of love and playtime, we’d be happy to help! I like to take the pups to zilker or just spend time with them at home. Don’t mind going on walks if it’s a nice day out. I make sure to play with them, feed them routinely and take them on walks. Open to any other suggestions if needed of course. Thanks
“I was incredibly nervous about leaving my two dogs in the care of someone else, as one of them has lots of anxiety issues and can be reactive with people and other dogs. But Dale did incredible and had no issues. He was super patient with my reactive dog and was super mindful about all my concerns. I was so so anxious and left a whole essay of information/instructions he needed to know and he made sure to keep all of that in mind. I will definitely keep him in mind for future sitter needs.”
About: I’m new to Rover but not new to pet care! My family has always had cats and dogs so I’m always happy and comfortable around animals. I’m very patient, calm and attentive. My cat was very sick when I first got him but his symptoms were very subtle, the vet said had I not been so adamant about getting him checked multiple times, he probably would not have made it. I love all animals and would bring that level of attention to any fur baby that I sit for. I know that each animal requires specific care and is unique in personality and I am happy to work within whatever sitting style would make your pet comfortable and happy. I am trusted sitter for friends and family and would treat your pet with the care and love that I would treat my own. I just graduated with my masters at UT Austin so I currently have a very open schedule! I drive and would be happy to come by whenever you need. I think that it’s really important for your pet to have the care that you think is best. Whatever your routine or situation I’m happy to accommodate to keep your pet on schedule. For example, I am very particular about how I take care of my own cat in my home. He has an automatic feeder and a water fountain so that he is always fed on time and has enough water throughout the day. Each night I play fetch with him for at least 15 minutes to get his energy out before bed. At night time he sleeps next to me the whole time. This is what works for us but everyone’s situation looks different. If you give me a step by step of how your pet likes to be cared for I can assure you I will do exactly that :)
“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.”
“Christine is so awesome! She really adjusts to the preferences of the dog she’s caring for - I booked her for walks, but my dog LOVES chasing the tennis ball (and it’s the best way to wear her out while I’m at work) Christine noticed how much she loves the ball and took it upon herself to take my dog to the dog park to throw the ball for her. I come home to a tired and happy pup every day!!!”
About: With 10+ years of caring for my own pets plus family and friends’ dogs, I bring patience, reliability, and genuine love for every pup. I’m committed to giving dogs the caring attention they deserve when their owners can’t be there. My schedule is very open right now, which gives me a lot of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and playtime. I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get consistent care whenever needed. In my clients’ homes, I always follow their routines, preferences, and house rules. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable and cared for while I’m a guest in their space.
“Lara has been amazing! She is always on time to take our dogs on walks, and has been very responsive and flexible with any sudden schedule changes. Our dog gets super excited to see her, and I know she’s well taken care of with Lara.”
About: I have cared for my own dog for 5 years and am patient, reliable, and attentive. I love animals and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout both weekdays and weekends. I provide a safe, clean, calm, and loving environment where pets are always supervised, treated with patience and kindness, and given proper care, affection, feeding, and attention daily.
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!
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life (also fish, hamsters, mice, and a hedgehog). From puppies and kittens to elderly chihuahuas and grouchy senior cats, I have handled it all. I routinely care for pets for my friends and family and am happy to care for your babies too. I'm recently retired so I have a lot of time on my hands! I'm happy to administer medication or cater to your pet in whatever ways they need. I recently retired from my full-time job and will be mostly at home doing a little contract work here and there. I already care for my own five pets (or six if you count the fish) and can easily add yours to the mix. I will listen to what your pet needs and accommodate whatever it is they need/want. I am used to dealing with a diverse group of pets and providing each of them with what they need.
About: My entire childhood (and adulthood) I grew up with animals. Cats, dogs, turtles, ducks, geese, rabbits, you name it. I used to work at a doggy day care and in college I nannied for a big family with a few dogs. I personally have 2 cats myself. I love animals so much and truly wanted to start pet sitting because I just wanted to spend time with animals. I’m totally good with giving medicine, walks, park time, car time, whatever your baby needs. I’m here for it all! I’m in field sales so my schedule is super flexible! I make my own schedule so can fit in any time to see your babies! I drive all over town so can make anything work. I love to make sure your pet gets the care they need - so if that’s outside time for 20 minutes then we will do that. If it’s playing around for 20 minutes then we will do that or if they just want pets, of course we can do that. I currently live in an apartment so all visits would have to be in your home.
“Megan helped us with walking our dog during the day when both of us were gone for work. She took amazing photos and left a detailed report of their time together on the report card. It gave me so much peace of mind as i started my in office job this week!”
“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!”
“John is trustworthy, reliable, and extremely calming to my dog. She doesn’t even bark when he arrives which doesn’t happen with anyone else. Highly recommend!”
“Connelley was so sweet and caring to Buck! Buck is very stubborn and likes to escape for attention so it was so nice to have someone so trustworthy and someone who paid attention to details/instructions so thoughtfully! I would absolutely recommend Connelley to anyone and everyone!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around dogs & cats. I love watching my friends and family’s animals and growing bonds with their pets! I have a 4 year old Shih-Tzu who I love very much and three cats who love to keep me on my toes! I am currently a full time student so I have a lot of time during the day to come and check on your pets! I have a flexible schedule. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly, small dog. I also have three cats who are used to dogs. I live in a great neighborhood for walking!
About: Growing up, friends and family always called my house the "zoo" with our wide array of amazing animal family. So, friends and family have trusted me to take care of a wide variety of pets with different personalities and needs. I have experience with all sizes of dogs (including sensitive dog breeds like italian greyhounds), cats, small birds, reptiles, and freshwater fish. Every animal I meet receives the utmost love and care through the quality time I spend with them, consistent care schedules and bringing a calm energy to whatever space they are in. I am currently off for the entire summer due to working in the public school system, so I will have lots of time to spend with your pets and attend to their needs! When caring for pets in your home, I love to spend time with your pets! Making them feel safe and loved by taking them on a walk, out in the backyard, to the dog park or playing inside makes all the difference.

Allie was really incredible. She was very patient with my anxious pup, and available to accommodate me the day of when another sitter fell through. I’m very grateful for her detailed notes, as I left knowing my little guy was in good hands. I would love to work with her again. Thank you so much Allie!
Connelley was so sweet and caring to Buck! Buck is very stubborn and likes to escape for attention so it was so nice to have someone so trustworthy and someone who paid attention to details/instructions so thoughtfully! I would absolutely recommend Connelley to anyone and everyone!
Reliable, caring, and always keeps me updated with photos and notes from each walk. My furballs gets excited every time she arrives, which says everything about the trust and bond she has built. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone dependable who genuinely loves animals.
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! 🐾
It only took a couple of minutes at the start of the pre-engagement meeting and for it to become clear to me that Zach is an excellent experienced dog handler. My own experience with dogs includes training Australian Shepherds for sheep herding competitions and I have qualified for national competition twice. My yardstick for rating a dog handler has a correspondingly higher bar. So along with my complement was that quick understanding that I didn’t need to know anything else and that my dog was is as safe hands as she could be in. People simply don’t reach Zach’s level of engaging with dogs without also demonstrating to the dog that the dog is in anything other than very safe hands and that doesn’t happen if it’s not actually true. So with my and the dog’s approval, Zach was hired and lived up to both mine and the dog’s expectations. No problem.
Kelsey is a lifesaver! I asked for her to come last second, and she really came through. My dog is not always receptive to new people, but he loved Kelsey right away. I really appreciated all the pictures she sent as well as the communication in general (I'm a bit of a helicopter mom lol). Kelsey knew I had a little anxiety about leaving my baby, and she did everything possible to make both me and him comfortable. I would absolutely book her over and over, and I'd recommend her for anyone as well. Thanks, Kelsey!
Laura was friendly, kind, and incredibly patient during her first meeting with our dog. She gave our pup the time and space to acclimate at her own pace, which we really appreciated. Laura also provided thoughtful guidance as we begin establishing care with her as our walker. It’s clear she truly loves dogs, and we’re excited to continue building a strong, trusting relationship with her and our new pup. Thank you again, Laura!
