About: I have been watching, walking, and working with cats & dogs for over 9 years of my life. - I have a little yorkie at home (I currently don’t live with any pets at my apartment) - I’ve fostered a precious kitten - I’ve been pet-sitting many of my family friends pets for as long as I can remember I am detailed-oriented, attentive, & communicative with all pet-owners. I absolutely love all animals, so please don’t be afraid to reach out! I’m currently on summer break, so I’m not busy with school! (YAY) I have a bunch of time to take pets on walks, watch pets overnight, and check in at (pretty much) any time of day! I currently live at an apartment (smoke free & pet free) by myself. My apartment has a lot of open space, a dog park, and lots of sidewalks and trails to walk on! I am also comfortable with watching pets at their own home.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and energy levels — from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and comfort. I understand that every dog is different, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their routine, I’ll make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on walks, drop-ins, play sessions, and quality care for your pets. I’m dependable, attentive, and always happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m especially mindful of dogs who may feel nervous in new environments or around new people. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible during our time together. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I make sure pets are always supervised. I’m attentive to behavior and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I have been a loving pet owner my whole life. When I moved for college, I adopted a cat - Jessica - who is everything to me. My neighbors, friends, and family trust me to take care of their pets like they’re my own. I take online classes, so I have lots of time to care for your fur babies. I can be there early and stay late - whatever is best for you and your pet. I will take special care to ensure all doors are locked upon my exit, animals have water and other accommodations (as described by their owner), and they have used the restroom each visit.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life! I grew up with dogs that were tiny but mighty (very big attitudes). So I am very accepting of dogs of all sizes and personality types. I don’t know if it’s my dog-like personality, but dogs have always taken a liking to me. I have cats as well, so I can offer both services! I am available every weekday after 1pm to check in! I’m a college student, but I have lots of availability. Just tell me your schedule, and I can work my way around it! I will care for your pets as well as I take care of my own. People like to say that my cats are spoiled, but I think they are well loved. I understand that every pet family is different, my care will be personalized to what your pet needs.

About: I’ve been around all kinds of animals my entire life, but growing up always had at least 5 dogs and cats in the house! Ive house sat for families with multiple dogs, dogs with special behavioral and health needs, and puppies. I love doing all the silly little things for other peoples fur babies because I am the same way with my dogs! I’m also a foster care provider for Austin Animal Services and have absolutely loved getting to spoil the shelter dogs and get them adopted into fantastic homes. Through this experience I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior and how to make even the shyest dogs comfortable and happy. I’m a senior at UT and have a super flexible schedule in the summer so I’d love to help out with your furry friends! I’m currently just taking one summer class for the next month so my schedule is flexible. I also have my own foster dog currently. If I have a current foster they will be kept separated from client pets per Austin Animal Services policy. The little guy I have right now is awesome but he will hang out at home when I’m with client pets.

About: I have had a pug for 11 years. She is awesome. I also have cared and walkrd a large Rhodesian Ridgback for 3 years. She was high energy so we often went on runs. I am an early riser and often go on walks or runs already. My pug is currently at home in florida while I am in college. I miss my dog and I really want to be around dogs and other animals. I have a fenced in yard and leash walk my little tot. We also have a lot of land behind us so I will run outside with the pug often.

Isa was so great, efficient, and communicative! We enlisted her for a walk and dinner for the first go around and she took a ton of photos and the report card was so thorough we could tell her genuine care from it because she described their personality to a tee! We can't wait to work with her again, Chip and Summer the corgis can't either.

About: Dogs and cats have been beloved members of my family since I was a child. I have no problem walking in the summer heat! I’m a native Austinite. Most days I enjoy a walk and it would be great to have a fur-baby companion. I have a flexible schedule and many times am available on short notice. I make sure dogs are comfort with me before moving forward. Trust must be built with respect and patience. The response of the animal communicates their level of trust.

David was super nice and was able to come walk Rocko on an extremely short notice since I was injured and couldn't take him out. Must've been a great walk too cause my pup usually has tooons of energy but came back and took a nap as if he had ran a marathon. Thanks David!

Christian is the best! Our dogs are always happy to see her and we’re so happy knowing she’ll be there to walk them!! We appreciate Christian so much for being so great that we don’t have to worry at all! Radio can be very active with chasing lizards and dig/catch them if unattended or blinking too long. Christian is on it! Also, Freddie’s bladder is a special case and he’s not had any issue! I truly believe it’s because Christian listened to how his bladder needs micromanaged with only a small amount of water before being crated again. She’s a keeper!!

I needed someone last minute to walk my dog when I had to go out of town for work and Miranda went above and beyond! She did a same day meet and greet and then stayed extra time with my dog because there was a storm and he was anxious. Her communication was great and she sent several updates and pictures. I appreciated her level of care and would definitely book again with her in the future.

5 stars! David was stellar. This was first time using both the Rover app and a dog walker. My dog(who is normally energetic)was nervous and apprehensive being walked by someone other than me, and David did an amazing job being both patient and encouraging during their first walk. For the next five days while I was gone David, arrived on time and was communicative every day. I plan to continue to use his services and highly recommend others do as well.

If you have an active request or have booked a service with a dog walker before, learn more about how to do this in the Rover app or on your computer.

Rover makes it easy to reach out to multiple dog walkers about your booking. Typically, dog walkers on Rover respond in under an hour.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in West University.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk.

  • Start and stop times

  • Cute photos and a personalized note

In the rare event of any issues during a booking, rest easy knowing your dog is covered by the Rover Guarantee reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care.

We get it—sometimes plans change and you may need to cancel your dog walking service. You can cancel an upcoming booking directly from the Rover app or your computer, in accordance with your dog walker’s cancellation policy.
