About: My wife and I moved to Austin for the running scene, so long walks and miles of movement are what I live for. If your dog has energy to burn, I’m more than happy to match their energy on the trails, sidewalks, and (safe) roads. I’m a former service dog trainer, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, quirks, and needs. At home, we’ve got two bigger, high-energy older dogs, which means I’m used to handling strength, stamina, and the occasional “we’re not done yet” attitude. Whether your pup needs a chill walk, a proper outing, or a legit run, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, flexible, and I treat every dog like they’re my own . As a work-from-home running coach, I have availability all day any day and am happy to move my running schedule around to fit running or walking with your pup! I've had and taken care of others' dogs for as long as I can remember! With two high-energy older dogs at home, I know how important it is to make sure a dog's unique, detailed needs are met. As a former dog trainer and pet sitter with over a decade of experience, you can trust your dog will be cared for as if they were my own.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a teenager. I have experience staying overnight for long periods of time, and also with dropping in here and there for playtime! I currently work as an online tutor and I am a full-time student at Texas A&M University. During the summer break, I am very flexible! I will respect the pet owner's wishes when it comes to leaving pets inside or taking them outside. I have lots of experience with walking animals, and I'll make sure they stay safe!
About: Hey there! Growing up with 7+ dogs of all shapes and sizes, caring for them has always come naturally. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, especially French Bulldogs, American Bulldogs, Labs, Poodles, and Pugs. Clear communication is one of my top priorities, and I'll always keep you informed with photos, updates, and quick responses. I love staying active through walks, and l believe in letting your furry friend set the pace : ) My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home! I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! I'm currently working part time, so my schedule is flexible! I would prefer to have a meet and greet beforehand to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I always interact with your furry friend based on their needs + wants. Offering pet care to senior pets, younger pets, and anxious pets, I understand that each animal has their own personality! It is my goal to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while in my care.
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.
“5⭐️ service! Kristyn was amazing with your little guy. Her drop-in visits were greatly appreciated. I’m so glad Junji had someone to play with him and take him on fun walks. Her updates were the cutest!”
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.
“This was my second time having Mariia take care of my cats, and she was absolutely amazing again! She sent me lots of photos and videos, which made me feel really reassured while I was away. The litter boxes were always spotless, and my cats looked so comfortable and happy. She’s caring, reliable, and clearly puts her heart into what she does. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

Building trust with both pets and their owners is my top priority—your peace of mind is just as important as your pet’s well-being.
“Nina was a wonderful sitter for my kitty, (also named) Nina! She made time to meet us beforehand and clearly had experience with cats :) she brought over calming energy and sent sweet photos of lap time snuggles. I was grateful for her and would easily recommend and rebook her again! thanks Nina ✨”
“Brandy is an absolute gem! She’s ultra sweet and has such a charming and welcoming personality that instantly puts pets (and people) at ease. She really takes the time to understand my little guy’s unique personality and knows exactly how to approach and introduce herself in a calm, respectful way. Stacks adored her! Brandy was also extremely communicative and prompt throughout the entire process, which gave me total peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend her more highly—she’s a natural with animals and just a joy to work with! I feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Christine checked in on my little guy twice a day to feed and hang out with him while I was out of town. Got plenty of pictures of a happy kitty and she even changed out his litterbox entirely on the last day. Would definitely use her service again!”

“Hailey was great! Very easy to communicate with, took lovely photos and took all my directions very well! From the photos, my dogs seemed to love her, and were happy to have walks with her. 10/10 will use again!! :)”

About: I started taking care of dogs during the pandemic. 2 yrs ago a friend was in a crunch and I took in her dog for almost a year. Gave me more hands on experience and I’ve dog sat other dogs on and off since. Currently work from home so, my schedule is very flexible. As long as we agree on a time and date, i’ll be there on time. I live near a dog park and love going on long walks. I have a car I can come to you and walk them near you or whatever you’re comfortable with.

Anna is the best! She’s watched cinnamon multiple times for me now. Cinny is not easy and she goes above and beyond giving her the best care while I’m away. She is always responsive, and I can tell cinnamon is having a great time in all the photos. Could not recommend Anna more!
Lucia was very thoughtful and kind, she did a great job walking and checking up on my dog max! He’s very old and has a lot of health issues, I usually have a hard time finding a willing sitter. Lucia met all of his needs with great care and attention. 5 stars and will definitely book again.
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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Lake Hills choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
