Dog Sitting Austin

“My wife and I are vey happy that we chose Adam to watch our dog while we were out of town. Our dog was always happy when Adam dropped by for a visit. Adam was very kind with him and provided great company and relief. Adam is vey punctual, communicative, accommodating, and shows great care. We will certainly try to book Adam again if our dog needs a sitter.”

“Kate was great! She was always very prompt, sent lots of pictures, and left detailed reports on how my cat was doing. I will definitely be booking Kate again in the future when I travel!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I had the joy of caring for my dog for 14 wonderful years—he was truly family and taught me so much about love and responsibility. I also cared for my cat for 3 years, and though he's not living with me now, I still adore him and visit him often. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of both dogs and cats, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and affection I gave my own. I a full-time time student, but pet care fits perfectly into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m committed to making time for the pets I care for, whether it’s early morning feedings, evening walks, or weekend visits. Your pet’s well-being is a priority, and I’ll make sure they get the attention and love they need when you're away. I believe pets feel safest and most comfortable in their own environment, which is why I provide care in your home—not mine. This helps reduce stress for your pet and keeps their routine as normal as possible. I always respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates and check-ins so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Annie took great care of my 2 cats and was very thorough and detailed when communicating with me! She was so understanding when plans changed last minute as well. She also took amazing pictures of my cats as an added bonus!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a teenager and love any animal I meet. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and spoil them as if they were my own! I have evenings available and can work from home one day a week so I have a lot of flexibility on those days. I can be flexible to what works for you. I live in an apartment with a small dog park. My apartment is conveniently right by it. I have hard wood floors and am on the first floor for convenience.

“Emily was great! I'm currently fostering a puppy and I needed her to come by one afternoon to give him a potty break. Mason (the pup) was pretty nervous and shy when she came to meet him, and Emily handled it spectacularly by being patient and waiting for him to come to her. She is experienced and knowledgeable, and asked a lot of great questions, like where are cleaning supplies in case Mason has an accident. ;) She checked-in when she got to the house and messaged me afterward to let me know how things went. I would definitely use her again, and recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve had dogs growing up and throughout my whole life! (pit bulls mostly) I have been caring for the family dogs for as long as I can remember. Right now we have two rescue pitties named Opie and Tillie. I love all animals and have been pet sitting for about 5 years. I usually volunteer and pet sit for the animal shelter or for people back home, but thought I’d sign up on here as well! I am a full time student, so I attend classes for a few hours during the daytime. Other than that, I will be staying with your fur baby full time (unless told otherwise)! If you give me care instructions I will be sure to follow them very closely and will feed, water, and let your pet out as needed! I love to walk dogs and play with cats/dogs as well! I will never leave your pet unattended for longer than advised to or deviate from any given instructions and take animal care VERY seriously. I will care for your babies as my own, because I know how stressful it is to leave your babies in the care of others!

“Thank you for being so amazing with our kitties! You have so much patience and care, it really shows in the pictures you send! We loved the updates and felt more confortable with leaving them.”

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was a young child. Always having dogs and cats of my own to care for, my friends and family have always relied on me to sit their fur babies when they are away. Recently I pet sat for a litter of puppies and a momma doggie. I had to make specialty food gruel for the puppies and monitor momma to make sure she was healthy. I helped the puppies nurse and always made sure they had fresh bedding (since they poop all over). I also had to care for another male dog in the same house and make sure he was kept away from the room that the momma and puppies were in. It was such an amazing experience and I would love to do it again. I also volunteer at the Austin Animal Shelter (Austin Pets Alive), where I work in the parvovirus unit working with extremely sick puppies. I administer oral medication, clean up their poop, do daily feedings and have experinece in IV treatments. I also volunteer in the cat unit helping sick and injured cat rehabilitate giving oral and IV medication, cleaning wounds and feedings. My belated kitty, Morrisis, was a senior cat, who in his later years, became paralyzed from the waist down. I did daily physical therapy with him, built him specialized litter boxes and a set of wheels to get around with. I also had to clean his wounds and poop off of his rear end, since he no longer had control of his bladder. I administered CBD to help with pain management. There is a special place in my heart for sick and disabled animals and I give them just as much love as every animal deserves, which is all of my love. I my free time, I foster stray cats in my neighborhood, taking them to their first vet appointments, getting shots and managing any sickness they may have. I foster them myself until I can find a suitable forever home for them. My work schedule is usually 5 hours a day. This allows me to do Drop In services and walks before my full time job, as well as multiple times afterwards. Throughout the week or weekend I am more than happy to house sit and give lots of attention and care to your fur babies morning, afternoon, evening and over night. When I am in my clients home, I allow supervised playtime outside and will keep your pup entertained. In the heat of Texas summers I will minimize outside play time and play with your pup more inside so they do not get over heated, unless you request otherwise. I do 2-3 walks a day depending on the dogs breed, age and anynhealth concerns. I'll take them around the neighborhood to stretch their legs or on a local hiking trail/ park if they are a more active dog. I keep a close inventory on any medications the animal may have and stick to the correct time for administering medication/ wound treatment. Meal time is usually on a schedule, unless you free feed, and I will always make sure there is cold fresh water available for your fur babies (cats and dogs alike). For kitties, I will engage them in playtime and try to get out their zoomies so they do not tear up furniture, unless they are sick or injured.

“Christine was awesome! She helped me when I was in a real crunch, needing to unexpectedly be at work while training my new puppy I recently adopted. She was responsive to every text, provided me with pics of my baby every day, and was so patient with a brand new puppy. I recommend her services and am so thankful she was able to spend time with my baby! Thank you, Chrisitne!”

“Mia was able to stop by for a meet and greet with our dog today after accepting a very last-minute request as another Rover sitter canceled on us. She was super communicative on her ETA, very friendly, and took our dog for a walk to get to know him! We are very much looking forward to having her stay with our beloved dog.”

“Andrea was great with cookie! She was really sweet and patient and I felt really comfortable with her taking care of my baby while I was gone!”

“Chase is great. I have an English mastiff (Bertha) and a lot of other sitters have told me she is too big. She plays with her and Bertha loves playing with her. I will be booking Chase for a long time to come. Thank you!”

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.

“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.”

“Leslie was amazing! She followed my instructions to the letter and took care of my wonderful kitty 🐈‍⬛ I was nervous to book with her as she doesn't have a lot of reviews but I always believe in giving people chances to prove themselves. I'm definitely booking with her in the future!”
