“Cassandra and Jason took good care of Zamin and sent updates. The pictures are so adorable… everything went smoothly. I had requested a same day care with them as I made a last minute trip to Austin and needed a place for my pup for a couple of hours. They were really quick to respond and accepted, the booking process went smoothly. Thank you so much!”

“100/10 couldn't recommend Angela more! She truly loves caring for dogs! Truly grateful having her watch Barton!”


About: We’ve had our own pets namely Diego, Thomas and Domino for 11 years. They have never gone out unattended and are very well taken care of. You can be sure that in our home your pets will never run off or go missing or neglected. I am currently a stay at home wife and pet mama and I have full availability to help you with your pet care needs. :) We currently live on the third floor in an apartment but we have a greenbelt just right behind our building. Your pet will be taken for walks and will be able to ground and get some sun for as long as they want! I’m particular about keeping pets on leash so you won’t have to worry about them running off or go missing, which in my opinion is the most important thing I can provide for other pet parents while they are away.

“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”


“Lily was awesome and such a big help!! The first lady i had booked with canceled the night before, so i messaged lily at 12a needing daycare at 5a and she was able to help me out for the following 3 days! She sent pictures of him and took him on walks! !! 10/10 recommended !!! def will be booking with her in the future!!”


“Arianne provided excellent care for Izzy. Izzy is usually shy and takes time to warm up to new individuals, but she connected with Arianne very quickly. This immediately put me at ease. I would absolutely recommend Arianne to anyone seeking a caring and trustworthy individual.”


“Antonio has been wonderful, he is really friendly and kind, he has been really caring and helpful with Romeo. He has been really accommodating with our time schedule and Romeo was super happy and exited after playing with Biscotti. We will recommend him and of course we will request his services again :)”


“Appa had the best time in Luke’s care. He tends to be more nervous around people but he felt right at home. We will definitely be using Luke again!”


About: My family got their first dog while I was in high school and I have been caring for dogs ever since! I’ve cared for friends dogs in the past and now I have one of my own who is just the sweetest gal. I’d love to eventually get a second dog but for now caring for others seems like the perfect alternative. I do have a preference for smaller breeds but am open to bigger dogs as long as they can be gentle with smaller dogs. I am currently hybrid at a very flexible job and typically go into the office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. When I go into the office I go in later in the mornings and spend about 1.5 -2 hrs there. The max time I’ll spend at the office at one point is 3 hours but this is not the norm. Other than that time I spend the majority of my time at home and am able to give your pup all my attention and snuggles. My apartment building has a fenced in dog park where I can take your pup to for potty breaks and safe outside playtime. I also have a balcony with a grass patch for any early morning or late night potty breaks. Pet safety is my number one priority so when I’m not home both mine & your pup would be kept in different rooms with cameras watching them to make sure no one is in distress. I’m also open to doing meet and greets at my place before your pet’s stay with me so that you’ll be able to see what type of environment your pet would be in and how our pups interact with each other. My dog is a 1 year old dachshund who just loves other dogs and would make sure your dog feels right at home!

“Denise was so amazing with Finley. Sometimes he takes a while to warm up to people, and within an hour he was sleeping on her lap! We will definitely be using Denise again-- she has a way with animals.”


“Gil is nothing short of awesome! Truth is, I don't want to leave a really good review on here about him, because I want him to always be available when I need him! :) Gil really listened to everything I had to explain about ol' "persnickety" Jack, and was so attentive to those things. I know Jack was comfortable with Gil, by some of the pics I was sent during his stay. I will definitely be booking Gil again, as he is very much a dog person and very accommodating. I went with my gut on this one, and I am so glad I did!”

“Ashley is awesome and my dog is always so happy to see her!!”


“Kristen took good care of my little guy and even introduced him to his first kitty 😼😹 Helped me to not worry about him while I was in town for a work conference. Will go to Kristen again when I’m back in Austin 🫶🏼”


“Laura and Adam took wonderful care of our girl! Eliza had so much fun playing with her new friend, Lulu, and can’t wait to go back. A happy, tired pup! Thank you!”


“Laura took great care of Bucky, was very accommodating and professional. She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is catered to. Highly recommend her services!”


About: I've helped take care of family pets since I was 10 years old, and my partner and I have 2 dogs together who I absolutely adore ❤️ More than 50 happy pet parents across Austin know me as a reliable, communicative, adaptable, and trustworthy pet sitter! My two fur babies are currently in training, and through this process I have learned a wealth of obedience skills that I can implement when caring for your pet. I also loved training my first puppy, Lucy, and before she passed later in life, I helped care for her when she was struggling with bladder cancer. I cared for my parent's three dogs, including one fur baby who was very sick at the time and needed medication and medical attention multiple times a day. I've cared for other friend and family pets through extended home stays and quick drop ins for walks and feedings. I work remotely, so I have a lot of flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day and evening. Beginning in October 2025, I will be a full time pet sitter!! I am available weekdays and some weekends, and can accomodate short notice requests. I am also an active person, so if you have very energetic dogs who need to get their zoomies out, I am more than happy to take them on runs, long walks, or play fetch with them! I have a keen attention to detail and am very particular about how I care for myself, my dogs, and my home, so you can rest assured that I will care for your pet exactly as instructed! I am also very safety minded and will make sure to protect your pet, other animals, and other people they may interact with when in my care.

“Andrea was great with Aspen, he had such a great time with their pup and she was incredibly responsive and accommodating during our trip to Zion.”

“Madeline was great with my husky Lena! While we were visiting Austin I needed daycare for a couple days and Madeline was fantastic. Lena had some anxiety being dropped off in a new place but Madeline was super attentive and took her for long walks. Lena became much more comfy and adjusted and excited to return the second day. She was settled in by the end of her stay. I highly recommend Madeline’s services :)”



About: Having had animals since I was a toddler, I know how important they are, and how much of a positive impact they can have on our lives. My own animals have helped me in ways I never knew possible. Because I know the important role they play in your life and the love you have for them, I will give them the best care I possibly can. I will play with them, hug them, and send lots of love their way. Dogs seem to gravitate towards me and love me. I picked out both my mom’s and sister’s current dogs based on intuition and a connection I had with each of them. As soon as I walk in the door, they are attached to me the entire time I am visiting. I love it. They sleep with me, they hang with me on the couch. I even take them on extra walks just to spend more time with them. I’m sure I might have a similar connection with yours, so you know you’re in good hands. I’m also a fan of cats, having had a few of my own over the years. I currently have a wonderful Maine Coon, Tucker who is my best friend!! I work for myself and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I prefer to not work super early or super late, but can if required. I treat my clients home as if it were my own and their pets the same - with respect. I also do my best to send pix for comfort. I know it’s something I always appreciate when I am away from my cat.

From the moment they met, my dog took to her instantly—she has a natural way with animals that puts both pets and owners at ease. Throughout her time with my dog, Daniela went above and beyond. She followed all care instructions to the letter, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure my pup stayed happy, healthy, and well-exercised. When I returned home, it was clear my dog had been loved and well cared for in my absence. She is trustworthy, kind, and genuinely passionate about animals. I’d gladly entrust her with my dog again any time.”

Lillian M.
“I cannot praise Lillian enough for the incredible care and attention she provided to my beloved furry friend while I was away. Lillian's genuine love for animals is evident, and I am always completely assured entrusting my pet to her care. Throughout the duration of my absence, Lillian went above and beyond in ensuring that my pet's needs were not just met, but exceeded. She followed all feeding, exercise, and medication instructions diligently, and even took the time to provide extra cuddles and playtime, keeping my pet happy and content. Communication was seamless, with regular updates and photos that allowed me to relax knowing my pet was in good hands. Their professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection for animals truly set them apart. Thanks to Lillian, I returned home to a happy, healthy pet who had clearly been showered with love and attention in my absence. I cannot recommend them highly enough and will definitely be entrusting my pet's care to them in the future. Thank you for everything!”
