I’ve had a fantastic experience with Nataliia! One of the things I appreciate most is her excellent communication. She always quick to respond to messages and send pictures of my dog. She flexibility has also been a huge plus; she has been so accommodating with last-minute changes and different schedule requests. It’s clear she genuinely cares about my dog’s well-being.

Laura was a great cat sitter! My cat is super shy and Laura made her feel comfortable enough to come out and interact and get pets. She also sent me multiple pictures and an update each day, which was very appreciated since this was my first time leaving my cat with someone I didn't personally know.

About: I've owned dogs since I was about 6 years old, and have experience with pets who have specials needs. I also have experience with reactive dogs and I'm more than willing to put in the time it takes to gain their trust, and keep them safe on walks. I currently work part time, but I have a very flexible schedule. I'm nearly always available after 12 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I'm available anytime Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I can often accommodate last minute requests, and I'm easy to reach. Currently, I am unable to provide boarding at my home. I will be able to provide overnight care in your home on a case by case basis (it all depends on my allergies, I struggle with cigarette smoke and cat dander). I am able to provide walks, check ins, and assist with car rides to and from the vet or boarding facilities.

Sarah is the best! She took such great care of my babies. One of my cats is very shy and skittish and she made sure he was fine while I was away. My other cat absolutely loved her ❤️ she took time to set up a video call with me before she started to make sure she knew everything about my cats and that gave me so much confidence to be away from my babies (which is always nerve wracking for me). I couldn’t recommend her enough 🙌🏼

Not only did she take amazing care of him, but she also kept me totally in the loop with updates that made me feel so at ease while I was away. She clearly has a big heart for animals, and Leo absolutely loved her! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring, she’s your girl. 💛🐾

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.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and spending lots of time with friend’s and family’s dogs has given me experience with a wide variety of breeds and sizes. I most recently trained my own puppy mini goldendoodle and am well-versed in instilling good habits and commands. Please let me know if you’re working on anything and want me to reinforce anything! I’m happy to walk your dogs to get them exercise, watch them during the day while you work/run errands, drop in at your home to keep them company, or have them stay overnight with me if you’re having a night/weekend away. I am able to walk and hang out with your dog during the week, mainly in the morning and afternoon but am definitely flexible and can work with your schedule. I live in a high rise apartment building in Downtown, Austin but am happy to take your dog around town, onto the trail by town lake and wherever else to make sure they enjoy the day! :)

Alex is a great Rover and someone I would recommend. She has experience with large and reactive dogs and followed my instructions perfectly. She communicates well and understands that every dog is different and needs a specific type of care and still loves on them while making sure their needs are met. 10:10

Alison is my go to sitter for my dogs Mia and Stevie Ray. I work on the road a lot and leave them with her for both short and long periods at a time. She is a natural with animals, follows instructions including those dealing with diet and behavioral. My dogs love her and she loves them. She is a natural caregiver to any animals but dogs I feel are her true love. Feel free to contact me with any questions. She has my reference.

Brandon is an exceptionally kind, caring pet caregiver. Most importantly, he devotes his full attention to any pet he’s taking care of. Brandon is very diligent about any special needs or routines and makes sure to ask about them beforehand, that way every interaction goes off without a hitch. My dog responds exceptionally well to him, which is saying something because my dog is fairly shy. I can say with certainty that I 100% trust Brandon to care for my dog, and I know he would care for any dog as if they were his own.
