“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”



“This was my first time leaving my dog and cat at home for an extended period of time due to work travel. Emily visited 3x/day and gave my dog meds when needed as well as keeping me updated. I felt they were safe in her care. Would definitely hire her again.”


“Kody walked our dog Mac for several months. He was reliable and very responsive through texting and was always on top of his schedule for when he could/couldn’t walk our dog. Kody is the exact type of person you want to have taking care of your furry loved one!”


About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs and other pets since I was about 13. My family has always had boxers but I’ve walked, bathed, and fed pets of all sorts! I’m a recent college grad so I don’t really have anything keeping me busy during the week! I would love to get some extra pet time in however I can! I can easily gain the trust of all animals and will always make sure I am following instructions to the T on how to take care of your pets.

About: Hi, I’m Hanna! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, starting with feeding my neighbor’s 17 koi fish every morning at age 8. I’ve had dogs my whole life, including a Jindo and a Corgi that I raised from six months old. Today, I live with two cats and a puppy (all adopted from Austin shelters), so I’m very familiar with different animal personalities and needs. I recently volunteered with the Austin Animal Center, where I helped care for cats and matched them with adopters. I’m comfortable handling pets that are shy, energetic, or just need a little extra love and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m known for being reliable, calm, and detail-oriented. I’ll make sure your home stays secure and that your pets are happy and relaxed while you’re away. I'm currently in between jobs, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. Whether you're looking for dog walks, cat check-ins, or house sitting, I'm here to help. I will always treat your pets like my own, with lots of love and safety precautions! I am between jobs so I have all the time in the world to care for your babies. I am flexible based on your schedule. My cats are escape artists so I have become accustomed to making sure the house is always secure. I am always on the lookout for items that my cats may get that could cause them injury. I’m strict about safety in my own home when it comes to my pets, and you can expect the same for your place.

“Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!”


“Nicole went above and beyond to take care of my pup Georgia while I was away on vacation! From brushing her to bringing her new toys to keep her occupied she really exceeded expectations. Can't recommend her enough!”


“Morgan was amazing and gave our dog Bo extra attention and care. He is a very active young golden/lab mix and needed exercise. She ran with him and took him to parks, so he could get the physical and mental stimulation he needed. I can't say enough good things about working with Morgan!”


About: I've had both small and large dogs since I was a kid. My sister had a Golden Retriever service dog most of my childhood and I was able to pick up on dog behaviors very quickly. I currently have a 7 month old miniature dachshund named Ozzy who I have raised and trained since 8 weeks old. I'm very comfortable with puppies and can crate your pet if necessary! I am able to devote my entire day to making your pet comfy! I can also run out and take your pet's on a walk, pretty much any time of day! I have a full fenced backyard and a 2 bedroom house that can be used to separate animals as necessary! I will have my dog and two adult cats around who are happy to give a new friend a cuddle or an engaging play time!

About: Hello! My name is Rebecca, I’m getting back into pet sitting in the time inbetween careers! I’m a lifetime pet sitter, have been watching dogs, cats, etc since ~2008 for family, neighbors, roommates, and friends. I’ve always loved all kinds of animals and worked at Pet Supermarket, I have a degree in biology and am pursuing marine biology researching fish as a career. Right now I have a 4 year old clumber spaniel, Thorin, who loves other dogs if your pup or kitty likes friends, otherwise I am happy to do drop-ins in your home! My schedule is extremely flexible at the moment, including weekends. :) I’m excited to meet your fur (or scale) babies!! New Rover app users get $20 off with this code- https://www.rover.com/sit/rebecg84650 :) I’m currently working as a kayak tour guide at Ladybird Lake, which usually runs for a couple hours in the evenings. Other than that, shifts are posted the week prior and are five hours in duration. I have experience administering medication, and attending to needs of animals in all walks of life. I take a lot of pictures as well and am communicative!

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and more. I’ve raised my own pets from puppy and kitten stages, and have over 6 years of experience walking, training, and pet-sitting for friends, neighbors, and clients. I specialize in caring for both energetic puppies and senior pets who need a gentler touch. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available on most weekends and weekdays for boarding, walks, and drop-ins. I enjoy being active, so incorporating pet care into my daily routine is something I truly look forward to! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and secure. I don’t have other pets in my home currently, so your furry friend will get my full attention. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding routines, walks, or medication. I prioritize safety and always keep pets on leash outside. Crate training and special needs care are no problem!

“Meg was absolutely wonderful with Mika. She clearly loves animals and was patient with my senior dog. She was communicative, reliable and sent cute pics. Greatly appreciate her!”


“Arantxa was exactly the dog caregiver we were hoping for. She took care of our dogs in a pinch with the least amount of disturbance possible. She went above my expectations with how well she kept in touch in spite of my inability to respond. I got updates and photos with our dogs looking completely happy. It was obvious they were having a great time. Her photos were great too! She asked the right questions and did a flawless job. I'll definitely book her again.”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for my entire life! Growing up, we always had one large dog and one small dog in the house, so I can manage all sorts of temperaments and chaos. Walking the dogs, bathing them, potty training them, and playing with them are things that have been part of my responsibilities since I can remember. I’m currently a college student, so I have a LOT of free time. Obviously, every day is different but my schedule is fairly flexible, and I’m available at most times of the day. I really try to care for others’ pets not as if they were my own, but better than that. I really try to go above and beyond to make people feel comfortable that their pets are in my care, and I try to communicate about anything and everything. I want pet parents to feel encouraged to talk to me about anything and mention any concerns or complaints!!!

“We contacted Emma for some assistance on short notice and she definitely was big help! She was very communicative and thorough with her visits. We’d love to have her back and would recommend her care for your fur babies!”
