“Marissa was very attentive to our puppy. She went out if her way to talke extra care of her, gave her medicine and always walked her and sent us picttires. She was very responsible and easy to work with”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have cared for over five dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages with my family. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I understand how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs and personality. I love spending time playing, walking, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Whether it’s belly rubs, outdoor play, or quiet company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and happy! Besides dogs, I love all animals! I have had bunnies and birds before and know how to take care of them! I work remotely full-time, which which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout their stay. My daily routine is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, medication routines, and regular check-ins. I like to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Whether they need active play, quiet company, extra patience, or a calm space to relax, I do my best to adjust my day around their comfort and needs! I live in a spacious apartment that offers plenty of room for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well supervised! I got my two friendly American Shorthair cats at home, so I’m very mindful about introductions, boundaries, and each pet’s comfort level. I always take time to understand how each pet does around other animals! If a pet needs their own space, quiet time, or a slower introduction, I make sure they have a calm area where they can relax. I keep the environment clean, organized, and peaceful so every pet feels cared for during their stay!
“Caitlin was amazing! She was very communicative and kept me updated the entire time she was watching our pup Lucy! I could tell that Lucy was very well taken care of and got lots of love during her stay. She sent a ton of pictures and was very flexible with our pick up and drop off times. Will definitely be using her again! Thanks Caitlin!”

“Erin is attentive, professional, and clearly loves dogs. she follows all instructions carefully and kept us updated throughout the visit. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would highly recommend! Plus she’s our dog’s favorite 😁🐶”


“We’re so grateful for Rachele, who took a last minute request to watch our mini Aussie for 3 days. Piper always came home happy and tired, from a fun day of walks and play. I got lots of updates and cute photos. We’ll definitely be rebooking. Thank you, Rachele 🥰”

“Madison was wonderful taking care of Gordi! 💕 She was very sweet, and Gordi was so calm and happy when we came back. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter.”

“Highly recommend! Simone was nice, empathetic, and patient! She sent regular updates on our dog with photos and videos. She let our dog sit on her lap while she was working. As a dog parent herself, she clearly knows how to take amazing care of pups!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since childhood. I grew up in a home where our dogs were family, which is where I first learned to read their cues, respect their needs, and love them without condition. That foundation has stayed with me. Today I’m a dog mom to two of my own, a 2-year-old poodle/corgi and a 5 month-old puppy, so I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life. I understand the patience a puppy needs, the gentleness a senior deserves, and everything in between. I work from home, so your pup will never be left alone for long. Expect regular potty breaks, playtime, lots of love, and photo updates so you always know they’re happy and safe. Your dog is family. They’ll be treated exactly like mine. 🐾 I work from home, so your dog is never sitting alone waiting for someone to come back. We’re right by Lady Bird Lake and Barton Springs, so outdoor adventures are a regular part of our routine, hikes, fresh air, and plenty of space to roam. Inside, I follow the dog’s lead, some pups need their own space to decompress, others just want to be glued to your side. Either way, I’ve got them. I live in an apartment in downtown Austin with two dogs of my own, so I know how to make it work without a yard. There’s a spacious open area right outside where we get fresh air and stretch our legs regularly. I’m comfortable with small to large dogs. My home is calm, my dogs are friendly, and you’ll get daily reports of your fur babies and how they’re settling in!
“We were visiting Austin and needed a last minute sitter. Brandon was very communicative and it was great that Teddy was there for Pickles to play with while we were gone!”

“Alison is great! Communication and meetup was easy. She took great care of our dog and looked happy at pickup. Alison also sent pictures during the day. Great experience!”

About: Experienced, home-based dog sitter — your pup gets a second home, not just a sitter. Hi, I’m Navya! I work from home full-time, which means your dog gets constant company, frequent potty breaks, and lots of real attention — not just a rushed visit. I’ve cared for dogs across all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from puppies to seniors, shy rescues to high-energy breeds. I’ve fostered dogs with behavioral challenges and have hands-on experience applying positive reinforcement and calm-energy techniques to help anxious or reactive dogs feel safe. I live in a pet-friendly community with a private fenced dog park two minutes from my door and a built-in neighborhood of doggie friends for socialization. What I offer: • Full-time, work-from-home supervision • Frequent walks and potty breaks throughout the day • Access to a fenced dog park steps from my door • Regular photo and video updates so you never wonder how they’re doing A note on fit — please read before booking: I take a limited number of dogs at a time so every pet gets genuine care. I require a meet & greet before confirming any booking — no exceptions. This protects your dog and my environment for other dogs in my care. My base rates apply to dogs that: • Walk calmly on leash • Are friendly or neutral with other dogs • Have no history of lunging, biting, or aggressive behavior Additional fees apply for: • Large or strong dogs (50 lbs+) • Reactive or leash-aggressive dogs • Dogs requiring medication or special handling These aren’t penalties — they reflect the extra skill, time, and physical effort involved in caring for dogs with more complex needs, that most sitters would shy away from. I’m happy to discuss what’s right for your dog during our meet & greet. A few things I ask owners to share upfront: • Has your dog shown aggression toward other dogs or people? • How does your dog walk on leash? • Any history of lunging, pulling, or reactivity? Honest answers help me give your dog the best care possible. I won’t judge — In fact, I have a special place in my heart for dogs with behavioral issues, especially when the owner has adopted from a shelter / unknown / difficult backgrounds. I want to be prepared, and compensated for my skill and time. I work from home currently. I enjoy having furry friend with me. My personal & bed time is between 9 pm and 10 am. I'm available outside of these hours to offer companionship, walks, playtime, social time at dog park in the building with frequent breaks and attention! I live in a 1 bedroom apartment in a lakefront pet friendly community with a fenced dog park. I live right by the trail and is a really nice enjoyable walk especially for dogs. My apartment faces the gate on the 2nd floor. I work from home, I am with them all the time, I prefer to take them with me wherever I go. I have a automatic dog feeder for both dry food and water. There is a fenced dog park in the community where we enjoy regular breaks, 1 minute from my door.
“Ian - Deacon told us he very much enjoyed coming by and playing with Misty and the gang. He said they all made him feel right at home. He's bugging us already to get back over. Thank you Ian...he's a special little guy and you and your crew gave him a very special day.”

About: Hi, I’m Ashley. I work from home and offer thoughtful, low-stress care for both dogs and cats. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away — with a routine that’s calm, structured, and tailored to their needs. Every stay starts with a gentle welcome to help your pet ease into the space — including calming music and quiet downtime. Once they’re feeling settled and secure, we turn up the fun with play, affection, and plenty of personalized attention. In addition to boarding and daycare, I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking, with the same level of care and attention to what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m home full-time during the week, which gives me the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s routine — whether they need quiet rest, structured play, or extra attention during the day. I’m also happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever I can. I live in a two story townhome in a pet friendly complex, with a few go-to enrichment tools to keep pets mentally stimulated between walks or play time.

Emily and her home were FANTASTIC!! beautiful house and perfect sized yard for Tokyo. Great neighborhood. She was understanding and accommodating of puppy energy and worked with Tokyo's needs so he'd be settled. Tokyo is still in training and having understanding sitters like Emily make us feel comfortable leaving our fuzzball with sitters! She had a crate for him to use too, as ours was out of commission. We'd love for
