About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. I'm an avid equestrian, and I grew up caring for my own cats and dogs. I get so much joy from being around animals, and I'd love to bring that passion to caring for your pets! I have experience administering pills and topical medications as well as basic first aid training. I am a new graduate student, so flexibility is key! Friday through Monday are days that I can fully devote to pet care, whereas Tuesday through Thursday I will be focusing on classwork. You know your pet best, and I want to keep your pet's routine as clear and consistent as possible. A calm environment is a happy environment!
About: I grew up with little dogs, but I now have a crazy 80 pound black lab of my own. Since my pup was a little crazier than most, we have done extensive training with professionals. I am happy to implement any training techniques or routines you use with your dog on my visits. I am currently job searching so I have all of the time to play with your pups! I have a very flexible schedule and can spend quality time with them during the day. I have a dog of my own who has taught me everything about being a dog owner. I will give your pet just as much love as I give my own!
About: I provide calm, attentive home-based care where pets can relax in a quiet, safe environment. Because I’m home most of the day, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision, affection, and companionship. I’m especially patient with shy, anxious, or senior pets and take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort needs. I focus on maintaining familiar feeding, potty, and sleep schedules so pets feel secure and settled while you’re away. My goal is to create a gentle, low-stress experience that feels like a second home rather than a kennel. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the day. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and frequent potty or comfort breaks throughout the day. I structure my schedule around pets in my care so they are rarely left alone and receive regular interaction, feeding, and exercise. My calm home environment and flexible routine make it easy to maintain each pet’s normal schedule and provide attentive, reliable care. Pets in my care stay in a calm, clean, and pet-safe home environment where they receive close supervision and individualized attention. I maintain each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and rest times, to help them feel secure and comfortable. I carefully monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels and communicate promptly with owners if anything seems unusual. Safety is always my priority. Pets are never left unattended outdoors, doors and gates are kept secure, and introductions to new spaces are gradual and supervised. I also follow all care instructions closely, including medications, dietary needs, and preferences. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide gentle handling, consistency, and a low-stress environment so pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Morgan was awesome! Super responsive & gave a ton of feedback but also took the initiate to take care of our pet in the areas we didn’t cover. Highly recommend! :)”

“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!”

“Adam kept me up to date and was delightful to Sir Fozzie. There was a hiccup with the miles counter and he was on top of that. I recommend him to anyone looking to use his services.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life! from puppies to seniors who need extra care. I’m used to loud, energetic breeds (I grew up with dachshunds!), so patience and calmness come naturally to me. I always treat every dog with love, attention and the same care I’d want for my own. I work remotely and I’m on a college break, so I’m home most of the day with plenty of time to hang out with your fur baby. There’s also a park right next to my apartment, perfect for walks and getting our steps in! I follow each pet’s routine exactly as the owner requests. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on safety, regular potty breaks, clean spaces and lots of attention and affection.

About: I'm hoping to find a sweet dog that is looking for a sweet girl to visit and walk with daily. If that's your dog, please send them my way. My goal is to make you and your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I'm extremely responsible, professional, and respectful of your home and privacy, not to mention kind of a clean freak. Your dog will love all the attention they receive while we relax, watch Netflix, and cuddle. Did I mention the hundreds of belly rubs they'll get while I'm there. That's included at no additional cost. What started out as taking care of friends and family's pets has turned into a genuine love for this business. I love each and every pet I care for and have formed special bonds with them all. I personally don't have pets which allows me the flexibility to care for yours, as well as fill my life with great joy getting to know them. I hope to meet your sweet loved ones and continue to have the best job in the world. I walk dogs daily and have a set schedule with them. I'm looking to add more dogs to my rotation between the hours of 10 and 5, Monday thru Friday. I have stayed in many homes without incident and pride myself in the respect I show to your possessions. I will take care of your pets in the comfort of their own home and surroundings to put them at ease while their family is away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs in my teenage years when I got my first dog and enjoyed the walks in the park and neighborhood. I also enjoy playing with pets to keep them active, especially dogs with extra care needed. I have a flexible schedule as I am working part time and able to drop in to check on pets and to go on walks/engage in playtime I understand completely that pets are like family to the owner. I would treat any pet just as if they were my own to gain connection.
About: I have pets of my own so I understand just how important it is to find a pet-sitter you can trust with your loved ones. I am only working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! My work is very flexible so I can adapt to your needs. My house is a home to four cats and two dogs so I am very familiar with taking care of pets. I am a very patient and calm pet-parent.
“Kendall is wonderful with my cavalier King Charles spaniel, Ellie. She’s extremely efficient, communicative, and timely. Ellie is always very excited for her daily walk and tired out after (which is ideal). Can’t recommend Kendall enough if you need a daily dog walker.”

About: I have been a pet owner for almost 11 years, ranging from small dogs to extra large dogs, and every personality in between. I have dog sat for shy dogs and super energetic dogs. I go on walks every day , so might as well add a furry friend :)! I am currently a student at the University of Texas, Austin Tx and would love to share my love of animals in a part time job. I live in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. But I am only a short 10 minute walk (4 minute drive) away from several parks. I have an open living room and lots of toys. For at home care I am super flexible! I love teaching dogs new tricks and practicing the ones they already know.
“Ana was wonderful and very considerate, took really great care of Oakley!! She dried him off before coming inside and refilled the gravity water bowl. Also made sure to turn off my lights which I appreciated.”

While I was away at work I had Dulce walk my two pups every morning and my wife had nothing but great things to say about her. She was on time everyday, gave us updates through photos, was very sweet, and great with our dogs. Highly recommend Dulce for any and all Rover services!
