“Christine has been a great sitter for my two dogs- one who can be very slow to trust sitters and she always keeps me informed with pictures and dogs are happy!”
“Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.”
“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”
“Melissa did a great job of taking care of our three dogs . She house sat our One Golden , a mutt and a young sheppard. She texted us with questions and updates . We were able to leave without worrying about our babies. What a blessing she is. Great dog sitter !”
“Jeffrey took care of our two dogs and house for a week, and we were so pleased with his careful, loving handling of animals and home. He communicated regularly and we were able to enjoy our time away without worrying. Highly recommend Jeffrey! Super reliable and great to work with.”
“Tiffany is fantastic! Our girls (Lennon + Mink) loved their time with her. This was our first experience leaving them with someone they didn’t already know and Tiffany was the perfect sitter. Not only was she already communicative from the get go, but our sweet pup got gnarly hot spots the day before we left for a long weekend and we were heartbroken to leave her with an open wound and a stranger to tend to her. Tiffany was wonderful having to adapt last minute and make applying topical ointment a part of her routine with Lennon while we were gone. She monitored Lennon closely and updated us regularly. Not to mention our cat absolutely loves her. Tiffany will be our go to sitter from now on!”
“Jena was excellent with my 2 bassets! The best part of working with Jena was how communicative she was. She sent pictures throughout the stay, and was very comfortable asking questions and keeping me updated on the boys. She really made me and my husband feel at ease with her at our home with the boys. Jena even went above and beyond, checking in to make sure we got home ok and that everyone was good! She has a kind spirit, and the dogs really took to her. Definitely will book again!”
“Cortney was kind, attentive, and went above and beyond her dog sitting responsibilities! Our dog is transitioning into his senior years and is in need of a little extra special attention, she was so kind about our special requests and communicated any changes/concerns she was seeing! We would 100% recommend her!!”
“Nicole was great with the dogs, even with our old girl having some accidents in the house. Nicole was timely, communicative and trustworthy. Would love to work with he again!”
“Melondy was great! We booked this trip over a month ago and it unfortunately landed during the weekend of the winter storm and she was still very understanding. Our two gremlins were super happy when we returned and had a great time.”
“Magdalene was amazing she stayed at our house and watched Ella. She took great care of our little stinker and our house. She was very accommodating taking her to doggie daycare and even giving her a bath when she needed. She sent us pictures and updates regularly. Ella was having tummy issues and she went and got her some pumpkin to help out. She is amazing thank you so much for everything.”
“This recent booking was our first overnight stay with Steven. I’ve booked Steven a couple times before for day-stays and I was so relieved to hear he was available for house sitting while I went on a several day hiking trip in California. My pup is anxious and very attached to me so, I have a hard time leaving her with just anyone. Knowing Steven would be taking care of my pup let me fully enjoy myself while I was away. I’m appreciative of his flexibility, understanding, and communication. Thank you for all of your kindness and patience with Palomita! Can’t wait for our next house sitting opportunity.”
“Ali was so great with the boys and they absolutely love her! She sent updates and pictures constantly and had great communication while I was out so town!”
“Jordan is a wonderful pet sitter! Great communication, kept us posted with lots of photos. Took great care or our house, too. But most importantly, our dogs loved him! Definitely would book again.”
“Melissa was GREAT! She was so helpful, friendly, and always responsive. She sent us pictures of our pets while we were away. (Which helped because we missed them so much!) We came home to a happy household. She was so good, we have booked her for our next trip! Thanks Melissa!”
About: 👋~Hi I'm Kayla~ I've been in Austin for 7 years. I have 2 kitty cats.

I have a flexible schedule to help with your fur babies: (Mon-Sun, 9am-2pm). My neighborhood has 🌳🍃trail access 🌳🍃so boarding with me can include multiple nature walks!

For overnight stays we would have to coordinate a pick up time as I work at a restaurant 5 days a week. Book with me! 🌠 Dog Walking/House Sitting/Boarding. 🏠 My place: Spacious 2 Bedroom Apartment with a wrap around balcony facing the woods. My neighborhood has trail access for nature walks on the greenbelt.🌳🍃 Your fur babies would have plenty of space indoors and outdoors! 🐕 I have 2 cats that can be introduced or put in a different room for boarding.

Paige was an outstanding sitter for my guy Petey. She consistently kept me in the loop with texts, photos, and videos. When my flight was canceled last minute and I needed to have Petey looked after another day she was flexible with her schedule and was able to help me out! I would absolutely recommend Paige for any kind of pet sitting you are looking for. She is top-notch.
Ja was a great communicator, sent lots of pics of our dog, and left our house in excellent condition. I felt particularly bad for not setting up our house code properly when we left, which had her stuck outside our house for a half hour, but she was gracious about it and loved on our dog. Thank you Ja for helping us out, and on short notice to boot!
Kate did a fantastic job taking care of our house, English bulldog & herd of tortoises. One of the tortoises even laid eggs while we were away and Kate was all over it, she supervised the process and retrieved the eggs for me too! Everything was right as rain when we got back. Kate was super communicative and engaged throughout the whole time we were gone.
Elle is absolutely the best! She keeps us updated daily with photos and videos, and her attention to detail is incredible. Our house is always cleaner than when we left, and our dogs absolutely adore her! It’s such a comfort to travel knowing our dogs are happy, loved, and receiving the very best care.
We could not be happier with the incredible care our dog received from Marley! From start to finish, she was so responsible and communicative, keeping us updated the entire time we were away. It gave us total peace of mind knowing our dog as so well loved, safe, and happy. We also came home to a clean house which is so nice. Highly recommend Marley!
Natalie stayed at our house and took incredible care of our puppy, Peach! She was communicative, sent daily photos, and cared for/trained/played with Peach perfect. She also kept our house in perfect condition. We highly recommend her to any Rover dog owners! 🐶 🍑
Lauren was great! She did a meet and greet and got to know my pets and their needs before I left for my trip. Since my dog is a senior dog and needs assistance with walking at times and takes multiple daily medications I am always a little nervous to leave him. She provided photo updates frequently so I never had to wonder if the animals were okay. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation and not worry at all about my pets!
Marina was incredible with Ruger. She sent photo updates that put us completely at ease and you could tell he was having the best time. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly adores dogs. We’d 100% recommend her and we’re so grateful we chose her. If I lived in Austin she would be my choice every time and when we visit there again I will request her every time.
The best sitter I've had since I found my pup 11 years ago. Afterwards I immediately asked Alyx to watch June for several upcoming trips where I'll be gone for weeks. She is punctual, polite, respectful and took immaculate care of my house while I was away for an extended period of time. She walked junie 2-3+ times/day, cleaned her water bowl 2x/day, sent full day photo summaries, left zero mess, and even made her bed. I'm aware most reviews may say a sitter went "above and beyond" but that couldn't be more true about alyx. I have never in my life met someone like her and I'm grateful my pup had someone so attentive and caring while I was away
