About: My family got their first dog while I was in high school and I have been caring for dogs ever since! I’ve cared for friends dogs in the past and now I have one of my own who is just the sweetest gal. I’d love to eventually get a second dog but for now caring for others seems like the perfect alternative. I do have a preference for smaller breeds but am open to bigger dogs as long as they can be gentle with smaller dogs. I am currently hybrid at a very flexible job and typically go into the office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. When I go into the office I go in later in the mornings and spend about 1.5 -2 hrs there. The max time I’ll spend at the office at one point is 3 hours but this is not the norm. Other than that time I spend the majority of my time at home and am able to give your pup all my attention and snuggles. My apartment building has a fenced in dog park where I can take your pup to for potty breaks and safe outside playtime. I also have a balcony with a grass patch for any early morning or late night potty breaks. Pet safety is my number one priority so when I’m not home both mine & your pup would be kept in different rooms with cameras watching them to make sure no one is in distress. I’m also open to doing meet and greets at my place before your pet’s stay with me so that you’ll be able to see what type of environment your pet would be in and how our pups interact with each other. My dog is a 1 year old dachshund who just loves other dogs and would make sure your dog feels right at home!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of both pet behavior and care. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I having had dogs most of my life, I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and mental stimulation. Your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll thrive and be loved in your absence. I currently work from home, so I am immediately available to take them on walks, etc. I understand the importance of routine in our lives. I have quick access to lovely dog-friendly spaces downtown. I can accommodate your dog’s crate with ease. My lovely building is filled with great pets.

“Aisling was amazing with my puppy Milo! She sent me over 15 pictures with updates throughout his day and was very responsive and communicative! This was my first time ever using Rover and i’m absolutely blown away, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I HIGHLY recommend Aisling for any of your pet sitting needs!”


“Jose is absolutely amazing with dogs. His dogs are very friendly and sweet and play so well with my puppies. I just moved to Austin and was hopeful to find someone I could trust with my furbabies and Joes exceeded my hopes. He is wonderful!”


About: I’ve had at least 2 dogs ever since I can remember, I recently moved and can’t afford to have one at my new apartment complex so I’m missing some puppy love! I would love to walk and sit with your babies while you are away! I am a teacher so my summer is completely open, meaning I’m free anytime you may need me to visit or walk your pets for you! I am more than happy to visit your home so your pup is in the most comfortable environment for them. After a few visits with your pet I would be open to having them at my home if that’s something that would make you more comfortable. I also have a dog park at my apartment if you would like your dog to socialize with other pups.

About: My husband Preston grew up a dog lover with his two yellow labs, and I am a new dog lover after we got our lovely boy Jet a couple of years ago. We are responsible and would love to take care of your fur baby like it’s our own! Preston grew up dog sitting for friends and family where as I have cared for many a friends dogs throughout the years! I am full time work from home with a flexible schedule. We typically bring our dog out i around 10 am and 6pm for about an hour each as well as 20 minutes around 2 and 10 pm but are available for more frequent walks as needed in addition to a backyard, balconies and toys and splash pad! We have 1 dog (2 year old ~60lb boy named Jet). We live near a park and him twice a day for long walks and frequent the greenbelt. We also have a nice backyard for the dogs to enjoy some fresh air! We have a two floor house if your dog needs to be crated or separated for meal/bed times happy to do that as well!

“Jared had our dog in daycare for a day and he did a fantastic job. He went out of his way to walk down to our apartment to pick her up and drop her off for us which made it very convenient for us. I highly recommend Jared for taking care of your pup! :)”


About: Over the past 10 years, I’ve dog sat for many kinds of loving dogs ranging from small to big. I love to stay active and making sure your pet is getting the top supreme care it deserves! I’m currently working from home so my days are extremely flexible. I can accommodate more time for your dog which means more playtime and walks. I pay close attention to their needs and provide them with the right amount of exercise and love. Every dog is different so it’s important to understand what needs are necessary! I work from home so my schedule is extremely flexible. Depending if your dog needs more time with me, I can arrange to do this! Every dog is different so I make sure your dog gets the best care based on his/her needs. Whether it’s more cuddles, playtime, walks, or alone time, I make sure to pay close attention and understand your doggies personality.

About: Begged for a puppy since I was 12, have been taking care of my own since then. I’ve noticed a Samson- shaped whole in my heart since 2016 (RIP), love when I can help others take care of theirs 🥰. Promise to not get jealous, k? I’ll keep my end of the deal up 🙏🏽 I’m working part-time & remote. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and prefer to go out in the afternoons/ sunset hours to get that vitamin D 😎 I take care as I would want someone to take care of my Samson. I can also bring along my best friend’s Pomeranian if we’re trying to get social

“Asha was so warm, and excited to meet my pup! I instantly knew she’d be in great hands. Got plenty of updates throughout the day to see how things were going and I am happy to report a very tired and happy pup :)”


About: Dogs have always been an extension of my family. I’ve had them my whole life and currently care for my 18-year-old chihuahua mix rescue, so I’m especially mindful of senior needs and giving pets the patience and love they deserve. I work from home, live in a pet-friendly apartment with a dog park on-site, and I’m just a stroll away from dog-friendly cafes and parks, perfect for pups who love fresh air and social time. Whether your dog needs play, snuggles, or a little extra attention, I’m here for it all. Pet care is part of my everyday life; it’s second nature. Since I work from home, I build my day around walks, outdoor breaks, meals, and quality time with my senior pup. I’m used to working with a pet nearby and love having that companionship throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk, I’ve got the flexibility to give pets the attention they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In my home, pets are welcome on the furniture, dog fur doesn’t scare me one bit. I have a cozy space, an on-site dog park, and the flexibility to give them plenty of attention since I work remotely. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and always keep pet parents updated with messages and photos. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable, sticking to familiar routines to reduce any stress.
