“Arantxa is so sweet, reliable, caring, and engaging! From her updates and interactions with my dog and cat I can tell that she genuinely cares about animals and treats my pets as if they were her own. my dog just absolutely adores her and my cat never comes out for anyone- but Arantxa made the cut 🥰 She is the best. I’ll definitely be booking her in the future! Thank you for all that you do for my fur babies Aranxta 🩷”

About: In high school I briefly volunteered at Keller HSNT and then pivoted to volunteering at a no-kill, nonprofit animal shelter called Operation Kindness where I was trained to properly look after both dogs and cats! I volunteered there for several years and I was able to walk the dogs there too, learning how to provide them a calm walk and to deescalate their stress in response to their environment. Additionally, I have my own two sweet dogs back home and I always take them on long walks and adore caring for them. Since they’re my family’s dogs, I don’t consider caring for them as professional pet care experience, but I do want to mention that my love for Buster and Mojo has taught me a lot of the basics! Although I’ve taken both of them on walks together before, I would prefer to walk one dog at a time when it comes to other people’s dogs, given that I am less familiar with their temperaments and I want to ensure that everything goes smoothly! Other than that, I absolutely loveeee animals and I enjoy spending time with them! I’ve looked after several of my friends’ dogs before and have been paid to walk some of my neighborhood dogs in high school, as well as dog and cat-sit for them! As a sophomore at UT, classes and student org events are what primarily make up my schedule. I’m usually pretty free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, because I have classes until 10am those days. On Tuesdays and Thursdays however, my time is more limited because I’m generally unavailable until late afternoon on those days. Caring for a pet at a client’s home includes being incredibly knowledgeable of my client’s boundaries regarding their home, as well as communicating important parts of their pet’s routine. Safety is incredibly essential, and I know that my time and attention towards their pet is crucial: I have never allowed myself to pay more attention to my phone or other things when what I should be paying the greatest level of attention to is the client’s pet.

“Isabel was absolutely fantastic with our six-month-old puppy, Oliver! This was our first time leaving him with someone new, and our original sitter fell through at the last minute. I reached out to Isabel on Rover just two days before we needed someone, and she responded within about 20 minutes and was able to help us out. From the very beginning, Isabel made us feel completely at ease. We FaceTimed beforehand, and she asked incredibly thoughtful questions—especially since Oliver is still a puppy and in the middle of training. She asked what commands we use, exactly how we say them, what his routine looks like around meals, and other questions I honestly wouldn’t have even thought to bring up with a sitter. When she came over, she let us know as soon as she arrived and afterward sent a detailed update with photos. She told us when she fed Oliver, what games they played, how he behaved, and even shared thoughtful observations about his personality. I really appreciated how attentive and engaged she was rather than simply stopping by to let him out and feed him. Most importantly, I came away from the experience feeling incredibly confident trusting Isabel with Oliver. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and takes the responsibility seriously. All of her amazing reviews make complete sense after experiencing it firsthand. Isabel is a 10/10, and we would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi!! I’m currently a nursing student at The University of Texas at Austin, and I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I’m originally from Marshall, TX, where I grew up in the country surrounded by dogs. Being raised in that environment taught me from a young age how much patience, attention, and care dogs need. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, along with experience volunteering and shadowing at veterinary clinics. I have a genuine passion for dogs and want every pup in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether your pup is energetic and adventurous or prefers to spend the day cuddling on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! I am currently a nursing student so my schedule is pretty strict, but I would love to help out when I can!! Currently I am accepting occasional walks on the weekend and primarily Wednesday before 11:00 AM, all day Thursday, and all day Friday (except from 12:30-3:00). I currently live in an apartment in west campus, so I do not have a yard!! I am currently not taking on overnight or extended stays, and daycare would vary depending on the situation and the pup!!

About: 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, and horses, so caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. ❤️ I take reliability seriously. When I commit to caring for your pet, you can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to their needs. I understand that plans can change and that life gets busy, but your pet’s care should never be something you have to worry about. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your furry friend is receiving plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m also a proud cat parent to a wonderful Bengal cat who is incredibly sweet and has a great personality. 🐱 Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, companionship, or simply a dependable person to look after them, I’d love the opportunity to help! 🏡 For overnight stays at my home: Please note that your dog or cat must be comfortable around another cat, as my Bengal will be sharing the space. I’m happy to chat beforehand about your pet’s personality and needs to make sure it’s a comfortable and happy fit for everyone. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are my priority. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶🐱💕 I am employed with a full time job and go into the Downtown office Monday through Friday. Depending on where you are located, I am able to make visits during lunch. I am very respectful of someone’s home and will respect your home as I do my own and how I would like a visitor to be in my own home.

Maddie was great with my pets and went out of her way to make sure they were cared for! Even going to the store to get some things to trick my cat into taking his meds without me asking. Both my dog and cat immediately trusted her and were excited to have her with them. I would hire her again and again

Booking with Dulce was effortless as she was highly responsive and very accommodating. She kept me updated on my sweet Rose by sending pictures and even took her to her favorite park to play! I was skeptical at first in allowing a stranger into our home but I feel confident in Dulce as she has proven to be reliable and trustworthy. Would book again!

I had to stay late for work unexpectedly and Abygale was able to help us out last minute with our two fur babies, and we couldn’t be more grateful! They both warmed up to her instantly, even with one of ours being more selective of who he loves on, and it was clear how comfortable and loved she made them both feel. Abygale was incredibly communicative, reliable, and treated our pets like they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We truly appreciate her flexibility and the love she showed our fur babies! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their pets, even last minute. A wonderful experience and will be using her again!

Robin has been our go to sitter for our two fussy cats for years and it has been a DREAM to have someone we trust so much to give them the best care when we’re away. And our cats just love her so much! We’re moving out of state next month and are dreading having to go through the process of finding someone who can compare to her <333

Grace is amazing. She took such great of my 3 cats - they seemed to warm up to her so quickly. Grace sent updates each day to let me know the cats were eating, drinking, playing. I never worried about them once. She also made sure everything was clean and tidy for my return home. Truly above and beyond care!

Blanca is always our number 1 pick on Rover. She always goes above and beyond when caring for our doggies and our home! She brushes them, cleans their paws, picks up their poop, walks them, and so much more. She even cleaned up the fur around the house and watered our plants, without us even asking. We will continue to book with Blanca and we are so thankful for her!!
