About: My family always had labradors growing up, I learned how to take care of animals the right way. Every dog deserves to go to bed the right kind of tired every night, having been loved and given exercise for the mind and body. A restless pup is truly heartbreaking to me, so if all your dog needs is some attention or if they need a long walk with lots of time to smell, I can help out. I’m only working part time right now, and I need something to fill the gaps. I’m a morning person mostly just because I hate afternoon traffic. I have a big backyard and comfy apartment, I can accommodate anything your pet needs. Also if you have specific instructions for your pup I can follow them to the T.

Raven is fantastic with my baby Elvis. He loves her. She always does a thorough job of cleaning the litter box and making sure he has fresh food and water. I highly recommend her service!

Emily was kind and responsive. She took such great care of our senior dog, dealing with cone shenanigans. She even pulled off a daring rescue when he got himself into a tough scrape. Would absolutely book again.

I’m an Eagle Scout and know how to take care of most situations, especially in dog sitting Currently I’m home from college for the summer and looking to play with some living pets and just give them a good time while you are out having yours. I have a fenced yard and 1 labradoodle who is such a friendly soft dog. In her mind she still is a baby and she knows how to play and in amazingly disciplined.

About: I started a pet sitting business with my friends out of high school which lasted 2 summers. Have pet sat for friends and coworkers while in college. I am looking to start a new pet sitting business, and using rover as a start! Currently, I am working from 12pm-5pm every weekday, so I have time in the mornings and late afternoons to care for your pets! My weekends are mostly free, but I do have to record my radio show on Saturdays! I make sure to leave every house exactly how I found it. If any pets make a mess in the house, I use my own supplies to clean it up!

About: I've had dogs and cats in the home since I was a kid. I love taking care of my friend's pets when they're away, and have been a frequent volunteer at animal shelters in my hometown. I'm currently doing mostly contract based work, so I will have plenty of time to focus fully on the care of your pet! Anytime you book me, I build my schedule around your pet's care needs. I try to create a relaxed, patient environment for any pet, matching their energy and staying attentive to their needs. Taking proper care of the animals and respecting the space of their owners are top priorities for me.

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs throughout my family and neighborhood growing up. I have taken care of puppies all the way up to senior dogs. I’m currently between jobs, so I am available most days unless I am traveling. When I am working, I work remote so I am pretty flexible. I care for pets however the owner prefers. For example I can crate them and leave them off the furniture if that is preferred or they can be allowed on the couch/bed in my home/owners home for some cuddles!

About: I love all animals, any size, any personality, and would love to meet yours! I’ve personally owned dachshunds, great danes, karakachan farm dogs, a yorkie, a boxer, and various cats. I regularly care for friends and coworkers pets and have experience with other animals such as ducks and chickens! I am currently working as a graduate student and have a flexible schedule. I can stop by midday if your pet just needs to be let out while you are at work, or can cover mornings, nights, and weekends as you are out of town or busy! I can work with whatever setup you have, walking dogs as needed, playing with them in your yard, or bringing them places to play like the dog park if that is part of their routine!

About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart (and on my couch). Whether your pup loves belly rubs, long walks, or just snoozing in the sun, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs big and small, energetic and chill, and I always tailor their stay to match their vibe. I treat every dog like my own and always send lots of photo updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in great hands. Let me know your dog’s quirks, routines, and favorite treats. I’m all about making their stay feel just like home! I may not have any pets of my own right now, but that just means your dog gets my full, undivided attention (and all the cuddles). No sharing toys, beds, or space. Your pup is the star of the show when they’re with me! About me: My name is Katie. I moved to Austin in Oct 2024. I have been dog sitting on Rover for 2 years prior in OC! I am excited to meet more dogs in Austin and explore all the parks and trails with them. I’m currently working from home so I will be available all day to play and cuddle :) I live in a dog friendly apartment complex next to a lake, trail, and dog park. I can easily fit a crate anywhere as well. I live in a small apartment so I can easily have eyes on your dog at all times.

About: I have always been great with animals ever since I was a kid. My family always calls me the ‘animal whisperer’. I have been pet sitting for many family members and friends for multiple years. I have experience with small dogs, large dogs, nervous dogs, energetic dogs, etc. I also have experience with cats, bunnies, and hamsters. I have gotten nothing but positive reviews from owners and I would love to take care of your furry friend! Because of my summer break I am available pretty much every day! Aside from a few vacations I am free both weekends and week days! Ensuring your pets safety and comfort is always my top priority. When I do drop in visits I will always make sure that there is nothing around the house that your pet could get into and get hurt.

We needed someone last minute for morning drop-ins for our 2 puppers while we were out of town, and Madison was absolutely amazing!! Communication was on point, and we could really tell from the daily photos that the boys were absolutely LOVING their visits and walks. As someone who is fairly particular… I would absolutely, without hesitation, recommend Madison. 10/10. Five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
