Cat Sitting in Austin

About: I grew up in a household full of cats, dogs, birds, reptiles and fish. My first pet as a wee one was a Tarantula name Suzie. Since moving to Whidbey Island 11 years ago I have worked professionally to care for animals on a number of levels from Dog Runner to Veterinarian Technician. Though I don't have any fur-babies currently, my husband and I heartbreakingly lost our two beloved fur-kids to cancer since moving here - a Husky mix and a Pitbull mix, I still find joy in caring for others' pets. From cuddles & cookies (if diet allows) to exercise & basic training (if warranted and wanted) I am here for you and your beloved pet. I can also administer medications if needed. I am primarily offering dog walking and drops-ins at this time. I am open to discuss any house sitting needs, if my schedule is open to accommodate them. I know pets are more comfortable being in their own home with familiar surroundings, sights and smells. I am respectful and mindful of your property and will treat your home as I would my own when providing drop-in visits, walks with your dog(s), as well as over night stays with your pet(s) in your home. When on walks I will provide as much energy as your dog needs, slow leisurely walk around the neighborhood or a run around the block. If you are near a hiking trail I would be happy to provide a hike with your dog(s) if that is ok with you. More details to be discussed at meet and greet or before service is provided.

About: My mother has always been the friend that would take care of everyone's dog or cat ever since I was little. So, I have been surrounded by animals my whole life and learned how to take care of many different breeds, ages and personalities. Once I got my license, my friend's and family friend's entrusted me with taking care of their dogs at their home and had many experiences of house sitting with them. Before joining Rover, I was an employee through the Fetch! dog walking and pet care agency over the summer of 2025. I had my own clientele for which I would walk their dogs' multiple times a week. I also provided extended stays for house sitting in which I frequently took care of multiple dogs at once. I have owned cats my whole life, but dogs have always been a constant in my life as well through these dog sitting experiences and briefly fostering a chihuahua who eventually went to a family friend. I would be so delighted to take care of your dog or cat! Whether that be for walks, check-ins or house sitting, I have a flexible schedule and would love to spend my time with your pets. Their happiness and safety will always come first! I am currently a student at WSU, but I have a flexible schedule to take care of your furbabies. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I promise to always keep a close eye on your animals and monitor them on their behavior, and eating or drinking patterns to make sure nothing is out of the normal for your furbaby. I will always set a side a, if not multiple, chunks of time to ensure they are enriched with playtime. Please also let me know your pet's quirks, triggers, and/or medications that they might have or need, so I can be well equipped while they are in my care.

About: I have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including owning and taking care of a high-energy German Shepherd, Pittie and Terrier mix. I’m very comfortable with larger breeds, and also have experience with smaller breeds such as Tea-Cup Yorkies and a Pappilon. What sets me apart is how detail-oriented and reliable I am—I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and safety. I make sure pets are not just “checked on,” but genuinely cared for, exercised, and comfortable while you’re away. I make sure to pay attention to your pets needs whether they are in a playful mood and want to run, play, and let some energy out, or whether they are tuckered out and want to relax and get some water! I will also provide thorough updates with photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your dog needs a calm, patient approach or more active engagement, I adjust to what works best for them. I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, and evening visits, and I can adjust timing to fit your pet’s specific routine, whether that’s a quick check-in, a longer visit, or multiple visits throughout the day. Please also feel free to reach out for last-minute bookings in many cases I can be flexible with changes if your schedule shifts. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I closely follow all routines, instructions, and preferences to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m very mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings to ensure pets are always secure. As a dog owner, I have hands-on experience managing behavioral challenges, including reactivity. This has made me very aware of reading body language, anticipating triggers, and handling situations calmly and safely—especially in public or neighborhood environments. You can trust that I will treat your home with respect and your pet with attentive, thoughtful care—keeping you updated along the way so you feel confident while you’re away.

“Deirdre really pays attention to the kitties in her care while Their Human is away! She always sends updates with any-everything I need to know. And photos to show what the furry ones are up to while I’m gone. I would recommend her highly and hope to see her again:).”

“As always, our kitties love April, even our very shy boy comes out for her. She is so responsive and responsible and we love having her at our house. She always (unnecessarily!) unloads our dishwasher and leaves our house cleaner than when we left. 💐”

“Katie was great to work with, she took wonderful care of my kittens and was a solid communicator. I highly recommend her and will be requesting her services in the future.”

About: I have always had animals in my life. I grew up with many, many cats, dogs, hamsters, rats, fish, and rabbits. I have been a dog owner and cat owner myself. My husband and I are house sitters and we have travelled around the country completing different house and pet sits. I love being around animals and have the confidence to be the leader of the pack. I will make sure your pets have a great experience without letting them lose all of their good habits. Hopefully, they'll pick up a few more. I will love them like my own and always treat them with respect. My husband and I have been home owners, renters, and guests. So, we know how to care for a home and understand the various day to day tasks as well as unforeseen obstacles that need tending to. As homeowners for many years, we have been on the opposite end of this relationship as well. We have had house sitters care for our home and pets, so we know what it's like to leave a home in someone's care, and we will treat your home as we would treat our own, leaving it in the condition we found it. We have housesitting experience in homes in various states throughout the USA. In addition to looking after the homes, we have cared for pets both young and old. We have experience with elderly pets and with administering medication. We have a lot of experience with injecting insulin and caring for diabetic pets. I currently have a lot of free time and would like to start dog walking and doing drop in visits again. My schedule is fairly flexible. I will care for your pets in your home following your instructions. I am not currently hosting in my home for any of the services.

“Jaimie is fabulous. My cat liked her immediately. She took lovely photos and kept me updated on my cat’s eating and litter activities, which I appreciated and made me feel confident that all was well. She made the right decision when faced with a mistake on my part. I trust Jaimie and would highly recommend her. You’d lucky to have her as a pet sitter!”

“Megan was absolutely wonderful with our cat! Each drop in visit came with photos where Rajaa was clearly enjoying the company, snuggles, and playtime. We will certainly rebook with Megan any time we can!”
