Cat Sitting in Austin

“McKenzie was fantastic and took care of our two cats while we were away. She went the extra mile and even swept up the litter they were tracking through the house. We would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”

About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 4 so I have plenty of experience with pups and cats! You will never have to worry about leaving your dog or cat with me as I am trained and have many experiences with all types of dogs. They will have plenty of space to run and play around, plenty of toys and unlimited amounts of water! I am currently doing Instacart as a side hustle as I take care of my mom! She lives at home with me but she also loves animals as they are all her own. I have a big dog park in my area, I also love going on walks. My house is pretty big and will offer your dog a lot of room as they are a part of house and can go and roam as much as they would like!

About: I’ve had many dogs throughout my life. I’m truly a dog lover through and through. Close friends and family have always trusted me to care for their babies. We can play fetch, we can take walks, we can just hangout or I can just come by to feed them, let them outside and give them water! I fit pet care into my daily schedule any time I can. I work at a salon where i’m able to leave and come back based on gaps in my daily schedule. I will stop by before work in the morning and after work in the evening and if possible, I will come by some time in between if needed! I can also stay at the house to keep your babies company if that’s what you prefer! I will stop by as many times as you prefer to check in on your babies or I am willing to stay there while you’re gone!

About: We welcome housebroken dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds into our home. Our home is 100% pet friendly. Your housebroken dog will have full access to our home and fenced yard. We have a kennel if your dog prefers to sleep in one, or they are free to sleep anywhere in our home. Your dog will be part of our family! About this sitter: Your pet is most comfortable in their own home. Some pets are anxious and scared when their owners are away. Having me come to your home to care for your pets will allow them the security and comfort of being in their usual surroundings and able to be in their normal routine. During each visit, I will ensure your pet is fed, given time outside (as needed), and given lots of individual attention and play time. Why I love dog sitting I've been an animal lover all my life, and in particular, I have loved dogs since I can remember. My family always had dogs when I was growing up. I've been married for over 30 years and we have had at least one dog in the house at all times, but usually two or three. About my yard We live on 7 acres. There is a doggie door that leads to a fenced-in area. There are also trails through the woods for walks and open areas for play. Additionally, we have a comfortable deck in the fenced area in the event your dog wants to lay outside while at my home. My experience administering medication Yes. I have extensive experience giving dogs tablets and pills, applying various ointments and creams, and administering eye, nose, and ear drops. My husband and I recently retired to Skaneateles, so we are home almost all the time! Your pet(s) will have constant companionship while in our home. Your pet(s) will have full access to our home; however, I have a crate if preferred. Only my husband and I live in our home, so your pet(s) will feel safe and no strangers will be here.

“We could not ask for a better person to help care for our dogs !!! Joey was excellent with all three of them and completely trustworthy. I would absolutely leave him with our dogs at any time !!!!!!”

About: I've had tortoises, birds of all kinds, fish, ducks, chickens, cats, and of course dogs. I am a nurse and a dog mom myself. You can always count on me for updates and plenty of photos as well as always knowing what to do in an emergency. I have given meds to every single animal I've had including shots. I obviously have no issues with blood, needles, accidents, or vomit and am a patient person. I grew up with a family dog that was ultimately the coolest dog to have ever lived and have had to deal with personal training and reactivity as well. I have taken care of others' animals as long as I remember and I'd love to continue to do so, while giving you peace of mind with your pet. Although I work full time, I am available most days as I have been working from home often. With my own dog, I will make sure that your animal is a priority, just as I would want my own pet to be if I were away and of course, photos are a MUST because we all know how photogenic our furry friends are. I will try to recreate the same environment that your pet is used to so they feel comfortable. Lots of love and safety is of course the key as well! If you have a normal routine that works for your pet, let me know and I will do my absolute best to accommodate whether it be in my own home or yours.

About: I have my own cat Anya and she is one of the most important things to me. I’ve always had a special connection with animals. Since I was young, I could always connect with other people’s pets, many times they would say wow he/she never let’s anyone do that etc. I often feel that I connect better with animals than with people.” I work at a kennel in auburn ny from 8am to 10am in the morning and evening from 4-5:30 but before and after that I try to fill in my time as much as possible seeing and taking care of as many animals as possible I have my own cat Anya but as far as taking care of your animals it would have to be at your place of residence. I offer walking, sitting, overnights, feeding etc. I don’t board any more pets at my residence.

“Sadie is awesome! We had a little kitten who we were nervous to leave, but once we met Sadie we immediately felt comfortable. Sadie was punctual and sent lots of great updates and photos. We hope to book her again in the future and recommend her highly.”

About: I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I have worked to socialize and give the best life possible to multiple rescue dogs, my pet GSD's. I have been a helping hand to friends and neighborhood pet owners since I was 10. I am a college student with plenty of free time and a flexible schedule. I am available for walks and pet sitting weekdays at anytime and some weekends. Because my schedule is flexible, I can work with whatever timing you need. I take pet's safety very seriously. I will take the upmost care to make sure your pet is comfortable and safe, and I will discuss with you what additional measures are important to keeping your pet safe.

About: Ive been around dogs my whole life. I worked at dog daycares, was a kennel tech at Petland and have years of animal sitting experience including dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens etc. I had a husky mix most recently for 8 years before she passed. ***dog must be okay with children*** I currently work evenings and am available most mornings/ days/ and late evening. Although I do not have a fully fenced in backyard, we do have a backyard, tons of parks around us, hiking trails and enclosed baseball fields. I allow doggos on my furniture and bed. I work evenings and typically 4-5 hour shifts. I usually take the dogs for a long walk or to the park prior to me going to work to make sure they’re tired/sleeping rather than bored while I’m away. I can also accommodate crating if needed. There’s a fenced in ball park down the street with plenty of side walks for walks. I allow animals on furniture and have plenty of blankets to keep them cozy.

About: While you're away, rest assured that your dog is in excellent hands. You'll receive photos and updates, and your pet will enjoy walks, fresh water, meals, belly rubs, playtime, and more. No stress for you, and no stress for your furry friend, who will continue their routine as usual. I would love to meet you and your dog, get to know their environment, and see if we're a good fit. I have lifelong experience with dogs, including my 16-year companion, Jack, now gone, always in my heart... I understand the importance of peace of mind when traveling, knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. A happy pup means a happy owner, and peace of mind is priceless. I work from home... and I create my schedule based on needs and have flexibility throughout the day... it is a no-brainer to do this. I only provide drop-in visits and house sits... for your convenience and that of your dog or cat. Peace of mind for you, and your fur baby.

About: Who better than a veterinarian to take care of your best buddies while you're away? I am a new DVM graduate, and am happy to take care of your pets, no matter how old or young, especially those with special needs! I am certified in dog/cat CPR, and am comfortable providing any care needed. *Please note*: My providing pet sitting/dog walking/pet care services does NOT constitute a VCPR, and I cannot provide medical advice unless a VCPR is explicitly established in accordance with NY State Law* I prefer to stay in the client's home especially for dogs as this is generally much more comfortable for the dog to stay in their own environment. For overnight stays, I like to meet the dogs beforehand with owners present. This way they are assured it is okay to have me in their space for staying with them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. It started with watching my neighbors dogs! I have lots of experience with older dogs and puppies! I’m currently finishing out my Masters Therapy Program so have online classes, allowing me to be flexible and giving dogs attention whenever needed. Being home for the summer gives me the opportunity to give dogs the full attention and 1:1 time they need. I have such a passion for taking care of dogs that I will always put them first. I take care of dogs by giving them a nice long walk, playing with their dog toys with them, fetch, etc. I think physical activity is so important for dogs.

I've taken care of many pets for family and friends throughout my life including: Dogs, cats, pigs, reptiles (chameleons, snakes, lizards, turtles)spiders, birds (African grays, macaws, etc.), fish, horses, cows, ducks, chinchillas etc. My experience includes: senior pet care, medication administration (oral and injection), bathing pets, dog behavior and more.

While in your home I provide mental and physical stimulation for your animals along with attentive care. I own my own home in the country where your pets will be taken care of. There is a lot of land for long dog walks in nature and for play. No other pets, traffic, people or circumstances will bother yours at my house. :)
