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: Growing up with pets my whole life, I understand the responsibility their care takes, and how important it is for pet owners to trust their pet care taker. I previously had a dog walker for my German Shepard, who always joked he was honored to be our boy's 3rd favorite person (after my mom and I). It always warmed my heart to know he was in such good and caring hands. It has inspired me to bring that same level of trust and love to you and your fur baby. I can't wait to become their 2nd or 3rd favorite person! I work remotely and love physical activity. One of my main drivers of becoming a dog walker and pet care taker is to bring some furry joy and movement into my boring work days while also being able to give owners piece of mind that they have someone reliable and trustworthy to help care for their furry family members. Pet care within a client's home requires immense trust and understanding. It is my duty to ensure I understand the boundaries between me being in your house and your pet's space along with expectations for pet care.

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!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10, growing up in a home full of pets. That early experience gave me a natural comfort with animals and a genuine love for building trust with them. I’m reliable, attentive, and enjoy making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just good company. I would love to take good care of your fur baby! 💛🐶🐈🐾✨ I’m currently a self employed tattoo artist and designer. I am very flexible and have plenty of availability to take care of your fur babies. I will mostly be available week days 9am-5pm I am not currently accepting jobs to take care of your pets in my home as I don’t have a suitable space with my two roommates and two kitties but would be happy to take care of your pet in your own home.

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: I've been caring for dogs for over 8 years and understand that every dog has their own unique personality, needs, and routine. As a dog owner myself, I currently have a 7-year-old Pit Bull mix and a 10-year-old Shepherd/Lab mix, so I have firsthand experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, temperaments, and care requirements. In addition to walking dogs for years, I've also cared for many dogs that weren't my own, giving me experience earning the trust of pets in new environments and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm incredibly detail-oriented because I know the little things matter—whether it's following feeding instructions exactly, giving medications, sticking to a familiar routine, or recognizing when a dog needs extra patience, playtime, or reassurance. My goal is always to provide the same level of care and attention that I'd want for my own dogs. Above all, I want every pet in my care to feel loved, happy, and well cared for. I'll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I'd be happy to help with your pet care needs! I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules and provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether you need a recurring dog walker, last-minute drop-in visit, or a unique schedule, I'll do my best to make it work. I'm available for dog walks and drop-in visits daily between 6:00 AM and 9:00 PM. I understand that every family has a different routine, so I'm happy to work with you to find times that best fit your schedule and your dog's needs. My goal is to provide reliable, stress-free care while making sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. For walks, I'm happy to bring one or both of my friendly, well-socialized dogs along if your pup enjoys canine companionship—but only if that's something you'd like. If your dog prefers one-on-one attention, I'm just as happy to keep our walks focused on them. Whether it's neighborhood sidewalks, local trails, or your dog's favorite walking route, I'll make sure they get exercise in an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and have the most fun. For drop-in visits, I treat every client's home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I'm extremely detail-oriented and know how important it is to follow your instructions exactly as requested. From feeding schedules and medications to potty breaks, playtime, or any special routines, you can trust that I'll pay close attention to every detail without cutting corners. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your home is respected and your dog is receiving the loving, reliable care they deserve.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and couldn’t imagine life without them. Growing up, my family had a Bull Terrier and an Italian Greyhound, so I’ve been caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels from a young age. During college, I lived with a 65-pound Aussiedoodle and helped with daily walks, playtime, feeding, and overall care. Now I have an adorable mini Dachshund puppy of my own who keeps me on my toes! I played college tennis, so staying active has always been a big part of my life. I love spending time outside, whether it's going for long walks, runs, or playing fetch at the park. I'm patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy giving dogs the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Whether your pup loves an adventure or prefers a relaxed stroll, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or boarding. Since I'm home most of the time, your pup won't be left alone for long and will get lots of playtime, potty breaks, and love. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a house with a fully fenced, secure backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. We also have concrete floors, which makes it easy to keep everything clean after muddy paws or accidents. Our neighborhood has beautiful walking trails and plenty of open space, so your pup will enjoy regular walks, exercise, and fresh air. I have a mini Dachshund puppy who loves making new friends, and I'll always make sure introductions are done safely and that every dog feels comfortable and cared for.

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.

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

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 :)

About: I provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for your furry family members. I know how hard it is to leave your pets. That is why I offer personalized care tailored to your pet's exact routine. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or quiet companionship, I adapt to their unique personality. You will receive daily photo and text updates so you can enjoy your time away with total peace of mind. I work remotely, meaning your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive constant supervision. I read dog body language well. This ensures your pet stays safe, relaxed, and stress-free in my care. I understand the patience required for young pets. I reinforce your house-training, crate-training, and leash-walking routines using positive reinforcement. I am comfortable and precise with oral medications, supplements, and strict feeding schedules.

About: I've been caring for pets since I was eight years old and my family adopted its first dog. Beyond the typical duties of walking, feeding, playing, and training I've performed for my personal pets, I also began walking dogs at shelters when I was in middle school, and continued to throughout college. Since graduating college a year ago, I've been hired to walk and take care of multiple dogs in my neighborhood, which I've done so joyfully. I am also a member of Trusted Housesitters, and have travelled around the country to visit new places while caring for pets. I have a variety of experience and am the biggest dog lover you'll probably ever meet! I currently work virtually, so am incredibly flexible and able to accommodate a variety of situations during my workday. This means I can work on both workdays and weekends. Furthermore, I am generally very flexible and have lots of free time, so chances are I'll be able to make something work! I will care for my client's pet in their home with care and love. I try to walk dogs I care for at least 3 times a day for at least 15-20 minutes - more if the dog is very active. I also make sure to fill the water bowl and feed the pups on time. I will also go outside to the backyard (if present) and play with the dog there. Because I work from home, I am extremely flexible and able to give dogs more attention than they might get at a kennel or other situation. Overall, I am extremely conscientious, and what's more, I am a genuine dog lover and am attuned to their needs. I will care for your dog with the utmost attention and love.

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.
