House Sitting in Austin Springs

“Christie was the absolute best dog sitter. She arranged a meet and greet before our trip. She texted when she was on her way to confirm her arrival. I received daily pictures and check ins and my house was left in perfect condition. She even washed dog textiles before we arrived home. Plus a last minute illness for one of our pups was no problem. She administered meds like the professional she is. We will use her again.”

“Laura was amazing! She was punctual, followed all instructions carefully, and kept me updated throughout the stay. When I checked in, she responded quickly and sent photos, which gave me so much peace of mind—especially since this was our first time leaving our puppy. She even took her for a walk, which we really appreciated. We had a great experience and will definitely be booking with Laura again for future pet sitting needs!”

Rebekah H.

“Absolutely amazing and cannot recommend enough, my dog is often shy with others, but he warmed up to Kevin very quickly. Throughout Kevin’s short time with Alfie, he walked my dog two miles to wear him out then chilled for the rest of the evening. Kevin sent us so many photos which we appreciated as we have never done Rover before, or even left Alfie with someone who wasn’t family for a prolonged period.”

“Alyssa was so wonderful with our two dogs. She came over for a meet and greet and was always quick to respond. She sent updates and comforted our pups through the fireworks. We would love to use Alyssa again!”

Nora M.

“Perfect rating! She arrived on time, showered our girls with love and went above and beyond in caring for them. Highly recommend Olivia to anyone needing their pets cared for.”

Greg H.

“Lydia was so amazing with my shy guys for the holiday week. Everyone was happy and well cared for and I loved getting pictures of them each day! Will happily be using her again!”

About: Animals are my absolute passion! I am currently a major in biology and I have 3 years combined working with animals from dog boarding facilities and veterinary clinics. In my free time I have been pet sitting for years as well! Both dogs and cats are in good hands! I work part time with a flexible schedule so it is easy for me to make time to accommodate! It is preferred that there is a notice, so I can make changes to my schedule as needed In my clients home I do exactly what is instructed to me and respect the boundaries that are set by the client. And of course, leave the animals happy and healthy.

“Taylor was amazing! The pets loved her, she kept us updated and was very respectful of our home. 100% would book with her again.”

Bree G.

“McKenna made me feel very comfortable leaving my two dogs over the weekend because she communicated well, sent plenty of updates, and the dogs loved her! Will definitely rebook in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m currently a DPT student, which means my days can be busy—but spending time with animals is something I genuinely look forward to. I’ve always had a love for pets and understand how important it is to know they’re in good hands. Even with a full academic schedule, I’m organized, responsible, and intentional with my time. When I’m with your pet, they’ll have my full attention—whether that’s getting their energy out on a walk or just relaxing and feeling comfortable at home. Pet care is also a meaningful way for me to help pay for school, so I’m grateful for every opportunity and take that responsibility seriously. Im a current physical therapy student but my summer class schedule is lighter. I don’t have full days of class so I have periods to leave for walking and potty breaks and I’m home most of the day Fri - Sunday now! If they are up for it, I can take them on trips around JC and to the dog park (I love off leash!) I can also be available for any overnight visits, and am usually free for a whole weekend. My apartment is close to downtown so has many walkable areas for your pets. There’s a big field next to my apartment that’s perfect for potty breaks. I can separate the upstairs from the downstairs if they need to be kept away from certain rooms, but they have plenty of room to roam in my apartment! In my clients home I can provide any services as needed such as walking them, playing in the yard, or crating.

About: I have been caring for pets for almost 60 years and treat every pet as my own. Whether it is daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I foucs on making each pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand routines matter, so I pay close attention to your pet's needs and keep communication open with regular updates, photos, and messages. My goal is always for you to feel confident and for your pet to feel right at home. Retired, reliable, and available full-time to help with your pet-sitting needs. Happy to love on those furry friends whenever it benefits their owners. I have housed dogs and cats all my life. My home is safe and animal-friendly. I have a large yard to play in, although it is unfenced. Happy to walk the puppies as often as they would like, good for both of us!

About: I have animal care experience of all kinds! Dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, horses, and other farm animals! In my free time I love spending quality time with my dogs and loving other peoples dogs as well! I am currently a full time college student and am home for the summer. I love spending my time caring for your awesome pets making sure they get the care they deserve! I care for pets in their home with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and trust. I understand how important it is for pets to stay comfortable in their normal environment and routines while their owners are away. With experience handling multiple dogs and a variety of temperaments and energy levels, I provide calm, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I prioritize communication, cleanliness, and making sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and stress-free while you’re gone.

About: II’ve loved animals my whole life and have a natural gift for connecting with them—especially cats! I have extensive experience with medical care, including giving injections, liquid medications, and complex pill schedules. I also previously held a Groomer’s License in Colorado, so I am very comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for animals with everything from broken limbs to chronic diseases, so your pet is in very capable hands." I moved to Elizabethton just before Thanksgiving to be with my parents and I became the primary caregiver for my father, who has dementia. It’s a responsibility I’m proud to take on. Getting out of the house to walk, play with, and fall in love with your pets is exactly what I need to stay balanced. Since I manage my dad’s daily tasks, I have a very flexible schedule and the time to truly focus on your fur-babies. I’m looking for that 'pet therapy' a reason to get out and about just as much as your pets are looking for a loving caregiver. I’ll be there whenever you need me to even in short notice! Safety and trust are my top priorities. When I am in your home, I am respectful of your space and extremely vigilant about door safety and environment hazards. I am honest about my capabilities; I would never attempt a medical or care task if I wasn't 100% confident I could do it safely. My vehicle is also set up for safety, with plenty of room and when needed a leash that conect to their collar or harness then buckes to the backseat so your pets are secure while we are on the go.

“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with Jojo. Jojo instantly took to her. She was great when I was leaving to keep Jojo preoccupied so she wouldn't get that separation anxiety that she normally gets, I can tell she's played a lot over the last 36 hours because she is worn out. My house looks impeccable, absolutely nothing out of place and I will definitely be hiring Jennifer for all of my future needs.”

About: No animal is too much for me! Snakes, rats, anything! I love any species of animal, and no animal is too hard for me to take care of! The rarer the better! Just give me the rundown of what your pet needs, and I can do it! No matter how nasty or scary! I can care for pets as much as you need! Obviously, I need to take care of my little kitty, Binx, but I will always find time for your pets as well! Any pet is as precious as my own to me! I care for my kitty, Binx, like he is my own son. He is spoiled, and everyone loves him! He is the kindest kitty and was raised to know what and what not to do. He's a smart little fella, and the way I raised him is definitely a huge factor in this.

“Grace was great with Max. He always likes staying home when we take a trip without him. Really appreciated Grace watching him.”

“Cassandra was amazing! She stayed in my home with my little dog for 3 nights. I felt comfortable and confident that she would be the perfect choice for a dog sitter right from the Meet and Greet. I loved receiving pics and updates of my happy doggie. I will definitely be using her service again.”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, from horses to reptiles! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and some of the others throughout. We recently lost our dog to cancer at just shy of 13 years old, and I’m currently volunteering as a dog walker at the animal shelter to help fill that void. With the limited hours available there, I thought we could try this avenue as well. I work full time, but my daughter and I would love to find a dog to walk Wednesday through Friday evenings, or weekends! We are available some weekends for dog/cat care while you’re away as well. We love walking dogs, playing fetch, petting them, and providing lots of love. We enjoy playing with cat toys, and giving them plenty of attention as well.
