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've always grown up around dogs since I had two family dogs and my mom does dog sitting as a side job. I helped her a lot in high school so I have a lot of experience with this work. I love dogs and would love to take care of yours! I'm currently a college student at UT, I don't have anything going on in the summer so I'm mostly free anytime. I have a lot of time on my hands so I'll make sure to take good care of your pets When I enter other people's homes for pet care work, I make sure to leave the area clean and tidy. Always make sure the doors are locked and the pets are safe

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life! My personality has grown around my love for animals and I know I would not be the person I am today without the unconditional love of animals. I have never not owned a pet, I love taking care of them and showing my love! I love all animals and am super comfortable around every kind. Friends can always rely on me to take care of their pets when they’re away, no problem! I just graduated in May from UT and am taking the summer off of work to have fun! I have a very open schedule and can be very flexible to take care of pets. I understand the need for the upmost care for your pets, considering I would want the same as well. Good communication is a key aspect to this care and I would make sure to check in and answer quickly in order to avoid any confusion. Also, I love taking pics so I can always send update pics to ensure safety and trust!

About: I've been caring after my own pets ever since I can remember, and started caring for other families' pets in high school. For three years, I took consistent care of two families' dogs while they were away. I walked, fed, gave medication to, and loved on the dogs I cared after. I am dependable for taking care of dogs and cats and am attentive to their individual needs since I have been surrounded by pet caretaking responsibilities for most of my life - I've now petsat through Rover throughout my college years! I've gained experience with many types of animals, but most notably I have experience outside my home with elderly and large dogs. I'm freshly graduated from college and am waiting on job offers, so I'm looking for something fulfilling to do with my time! Plus I miss my pets from back home. I am most available for drop-ins and short-term house sits (~3 nights). I provide a safe and fun environment for the animals I take care of, making sure that their needs are met and that they're active and happy. I take care to follow specific instructions about feeding, medications, etc.

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.

About: I bring over a year and a half of professional experience working with cats, handling everything from daily care routines to administering a variety of medications and basic medical support. I also have six months of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to large breeds like Mastiffs, and am comfortable meeting the needs of pets with different personalities and care requirements. I work full-time at an animal shelter, so providing attentive, compassionate care for animals is part of my daily routine. My early morning schedule allows me to spend the second half of my day focusing on giving your pets plenty of attention, care, and love. I share my home with a kitty who means the absolute world to me. He’s the sweetest boy and is always waiting at the door for cuddles the moment I get home. I make sure to keep life fun and enriching for him every day, whether that’s a long play session, brushing (his favorite) or a special treat. Because of how much I care for my own pet and pets at work, I understand how important it is to give animals the love, attention, and patience they deserve, and I’m confident I can provide that same level of care for your 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.

About: I grew up with French bulldogs and rescued my dog Dot last year. I love dog sitting for friends and family and have experience administering medicine and fostering kittens and rescue dogs. I work fully remote with a super flexible work schedule that allows me to take frequent breaks to step away from my computer. I am pretty active and would love to have a dog to join me on walks or going to the park! I live in a townhouse with easy access to a dog friendly park and nature trails. There are 3 vet offices on my block as well as a pet store for any needed supplies! I have a dog of my own that is very chill and loves meeting new friends. I also live with 2 cats that are super friendly and get along well with most dogs. My apartment is 2 floors which means that any pets can be separated if needed.

Cicely’s been helping me out with my 8 month puppy for over a month. Knowing he’s getting exercise, attention, and so much love gives me complete peace of mind. She’s reliable, kind, and always keep me updated. I couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for our sweet boy. Highly recommend!

Alyxandria took such a good care of our Ocean! This mischievous puppy got into a puddle of mud during the walk and Alyxandria took time to wash and dry Ocean before putting her into her kennel. She stayed in touch throughout the whole walk and gave updates when I was nervous. Will definitely recommend for walking and day care. Thank you Alyxandria!

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.
