About: I've taken care of several types of dogs since I was a kid. Neighbors and relatives have relied on me to take care of their fur babies. I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes I'm so excited to meet your pet! I'm currently a college student so I have free time before and in between classes to drop by. I am free in the mornings before 10 a.m. and in the afternoons after 4 p.m. I also have a lot of availability on the weekends. I can help take care of your dog by taking them on walks throughout the day and by dropping in to check on them and let them outside. I have a lot of experience taking care of pets and can help in whatever way you need.

“Christine is excellent! What I like about her is she communicates well and clearly follows every instruction you ask her. Paris our cat was well taken care of. She was on time and updated if she's on her way and once she finished the drop-in. Definitely a trusted sitter! I will highly recommend her. Thank you so much Christine! :)”

About: I’ve basically always had a dog in my home until recently. I raised my rescue pit from about 2 to 16. Since her passing, I have dog sat for friends and coworkers, both in my home and their homes. Any age/breed is my favorite! Whether it’s a 4 month old puppy to a senior, I will give them the same care I’d give my own pet. I work full time Monday-Thursday until 5pm and am available all day Friday-Sunday. I am available to do walks after 5pm Monday-Thursday and anytime Friday-Sunday. When I’m pet sitting I typically go straight home after work and hang out with them the rest of the evening. My favorite part of the day is coming home to a happy, wiggly butt. While doing doggie day care, you can expect routine walks, couch cuddles and playtime. In a clients home, I am there to help keep that pets routine so I will care for them in whatever way you would like me to. I’m willing to take them on walks, run around in the yard or even go on doggie play dates if they are accustomed to that. In my own home, I do live in an apartment but I have a dog park and I typically take them on walks every 4 hours or as needed. They are also allowed to sleep in my bed or feel free to bring their own. No need to be crate trained but preferred if they tend to be destructive at times. I also live close to Zilker Park if they enjoy going for walks at the trail!

“Thank you! I saw your question on the tricks. I would love to teach her how to shake. I have tried a few times but it hasn’t caught on. Open to other ideas too. I am also open to ordering any toys you think would be good for her. I got one of those dog feeder snuffle mats but not something you can use when you just drop in!”

Natalie J.

“Meg did a great job again taking care of my kitties! This is my third time having her as a sitter and I hope to have her as a sitter again. She was punctual and was great about taking pictures of my cats. And of course my kitties were well fed and played with, and the litter box was cleaned. She was even available thanksgiving day! Would recommend!”

Vivian Y.

“Isabella was very kind and dependable. She took the time to get to know our pup and her routines. She sent us lots of happy pictures and really made us feel like our house and doggo was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again the next time we have a need.”

Devin C.

“Jared was great with Riley! Great communication and she looked so happy in the pictures and had a blast. Thanks for helping her out!”

Kyle D.

“Shannon was great with my two cats. She was attentive in our meet and greet and gave them lots of attention in her visits. It was apparent by how happy and excited they were when I opened the door on return, that they enjoyed her visits.”

About: Do you have a dachshund that you’re nervous to leave in someone else’s care because of how unique they are? I completely understand. I was the same way with mine. Dachshunds have their own little quirks, and their backs require some extra care. I know how important it is to have someone who understands how to properly pick them up and why you don’t want them constantly jumping off beds or couches. My home has stairs leading up to both, so they can get where they want to go without putting unnecessary stress on their backs. My husband and I also work from home full-time with flexible jobs, so your Velcro pup won’t be left alone. I’m able to give them lots of attention, hang out with them throughout the day, and take them outside as many times as they need. 5–6 times a day? No worries! I’ve watched multiple dachshunds for friends I’ve met through our local dachshund meetup, and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know each of them and their little personalities. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dachshund with someone else, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I decided to offer my services on Rover because I know what it’s like to be new to town and not have someone you trust to watch your dog. If you’re looking for someone who already understands dachshunds and all their little quirks, I’d love to meet you and your pup! My husband and I work from home every day, so we are at the beck and call of your pup! Whatever they need, I can provide: all day cuddles, potty outside breaks, mid-day walks… you name it. I have a knack for reading animal behavior- dogs have very clear warning signs when they’re on edge, shy, excited, etc. I will make sure your pet stays safe and comfortable and avoid any situations that may cause any doubt

About: I have 3 dogs at home! Two are huskies that require a lot of energy while the sheltie doesn’t require as much walking but more attention! I want to get back into my routine of having animals since leaving for college I’ve been very bored! From owning and taking care of animals from dogs all the way to horses, I love animals so much and enjoy taking care of them! From a very young age, I’ve been taking care of friends and neighbors pets as long as I can remember. As a freshman in college, I have a lot of free time on my plate! I love to fill it with exercise but also want a job as well. I prioritize pets due to the fact that I can give a 100 percent since I have a lot of free time. I prioritize activity and one on one care with my animals and clients homes! I was a multi sport athlete in high school and I like to continue getting a lot of physical exercise so taking my dogs on long walks and making them feel loved is my top priority!

“Isabella was amazing with Kirio! She was very caring, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She kept me updated throughout the visits, and Kirio was happy and well taken care of when I got home. She was also super friendly and reliable the whole time. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s senior dogs for the past 5 years and have raised a puppy and a kitten of my own. I love all animals and have taken care of reptiles, 7 cats at once, birds, fish, bugs, and plants! I’m here to ensure that your space is just as you left it and your pet is happy. Also, I love to take silly pictures of your pet and will happily send them to you. I’m a full time college student that also works part time. I’m a multi-tasker by nature, so it’s likely I will be listening to lectures while I play fetch with your pet’s favorite toy. You will never be worried that your dog is lonely because I will stay and hang. My schedule is different every day, but consistent weekly. I’ve had my lizard Hazel since 8th grade (a long time). To keep a lizard that long takes a certain amount of consistency and respect for animals that I’ve seen others struggle with. I will be diligent in ensuring that your pet is healthy and happy in your home.
