“Leon's stay with Kristen was great. She last minute really helped me when I was in a bind. Leon loved staying with her and her other dogs. She gave me multiple picture updates, and when he came home he was well behaved and tired! I'll definitely have Leon stay with Kristen next time I need a sitter!”

About: With 30+ years as both an owner and caretaker, I've cared for dogs of every size, age, and personality, so I'm comfortable handling whatever your pup's quirks or needs might be. I am especially good with senior dogs who need extra snuggles. Because I work from home, dogs here are almost never alone: we're roaming the house and yard together most of the day, with plenty of outdoor time built in naturally rather than scheduled bathroom breaks. Furniture, couch cuddles, and a genuinely cozy home are all part of the package. My own dog, Birdy, is a big, social 7-year-old who loves catch and tug-of-war, and having a resident dog who's socialized helps new dogs settle in fast. Most guest dogs are playing with him within the first day. I always set up a short meet-and-greet before booking, so everyone starts off comfortable. I typically accept two dogs and will only add a third on a case by case basis. This happens when a client needs service and it overlaps with someone else coming or going. Also, If they are a bonded pair that I've worked with before and had an excellent prior experience with. You can reach out to me and we can make a safe decision together. What sets me apart is simple: your dog becomes part of a real, active household, not just a guest in a kennel. If you're looking for a place where your dog gets treated like family with a comfy home, a big backyard, and a friendly canine companion, I'd love to meet you both! Pet care isn't squeezed into my routine, it is my routine. I work from home, so dogs are woven into my entire day: mornings outside, walks, playtime, quiet afternoons while I work nearby, and evenings winding down together on the sofa. There's no juggling a job outside the home or rushing back for breaks; I'm simply here, mostly all day, every day, with time built in naturally for whatever the dogs need. Your dog's safety is my top priority. My yard is large and fully fenced with a 4-foot chain link perimeter, so there's secure room to run and play. I work from home, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and almost always have someone nearby. I require all dogs to be spayed/neutered with current shot records, and I don't board dogs with aggression issues. No exceptions for the safety of everyone. Every new dog starts with a short meet-and-greet with my own dog, Birdy, so we can make sure it's a good match before any stay begins. My home is smoke-free and set up to feel comfortable and familiar, not clinical. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and treated like part of the family from day one.

“Melissa and Hernando did a wonderful job watching our two dogs in their home. They provided us photos each day and made sure they were happy and loved in our abscence.”

Kristen O.

“Watson had a wonderful stay and had fun playing with the the other pups under Erika's care. Erika sent us pictures each day to show how much fun Watson was having. Thank you, Erika!”

Colette J.

“Christy was absolutely amazing with Boo! She sent me updates every day and handled my overly anxious Kitty perfectly. I had to send Boo to her with some anxiety meds and she was amazingly able to get her to take them! Very impressed with Chrissy and cannot recommend her enough to take care of your kitty! I never leave my cat with anyone but I left Boo with Christy at her place for 4 days and she did so good! Thank you Christy!!”

Hailey O.

“Lisa and her family took the best care of our Lucy and Audrey. Everyone knows Cavaliers need to be near their people and Lisa provided such a loving home and was even able to accommodate their meds and special feeding system for our pup with megaesophagus. It's such a blessing to have Lisa care for our pups as if they were her own family. We were traveling and even had flight delays. Lisa was reassuring that she would continue care for our girls if additional time was needed. We are so grateful to have found Lisa and will definitely be asking for her to watch our pups again in the future!”

Amy W.

“Amy did a perfect job taking care of our dog. He stayed very content with her and Coco. Amy provided frequent updates and answered all our questions quickly. Highly recommend.”

Lavinia M.

“Excellent communcation, got lots of pictures, our Golden was very loved. Alison definitely loves animals and we're confident we've found our long-term Rover here in Austin.”

Andrew G.

“Whitney was such a lifesaver! She stepped in last minute when I was in a bind and was so flexible when my travel back got complicated. She kept me updated with tons of photos, and it was clear Zoe was happy and comfortable the whole time. By the time I picked her up, Zoe had already bonded with her, which says everything. I’d trust Whitney with my best friend any day, we can’t wait to see her again!”

Renee R.

“Ryan did such a great job watching over my pup and I definitely felt comfortable boarding! He sent a ton of pictures which put me at ease. Fritz is also such a cutie!”

Carly S.

“Rachel was so comfortable and nurturing with my pup. She knows a lot about dogs and knew what to do with my little guy. He was well cared for there and got lots of snuggles. I felt comfortable leaving him there in her hands. She was great to work with.”

Sara A.

“Rachel and Maxine helped to watch Pippi last minute. I appreciate their curiosities to see if there’s anything else they need to know about Pippi before drop off. They were great at communicating and very flexible! I would book them again!”

Tasha B.

“Brett was so incredibly wonderful! Murphy stayed with Brett and his family for 3.5 weeks and had a great time. Brett updated us regularly with pictures and regularly gave Murphy his medicine. Our mind was truly at ease knowing Murphy was in such good hands. We definitely will be rebooking with Brett in the future. 10/10 would recommend!”
