House Sitting Bat Cave

“Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide. She had great communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable Cooper was cared for. As difficult as Cooper can be to handle she was able to do it. I would happily recommend Laina to anyone who wants their dog cared for properly for their specific needs. She even got Cooper to feel comfortable enough to lick her hand which is not like him with new people. Great communication, great care, ten out of ten experience, by far the best I could’ve hired. Thank you so much Laina!”

About: ***Due to our baby’s age right now, I (Morgan)will be house/dog sitting only at client’s homes until our he’s a bit older. The crew will stay at home 😂 Thanks for understanding!!*** Hey there, friends! We’re a family of 6, 4 humans (myself, my partner, our 7 year old son, and out 5 month old baby), 1 foster fail pup named Law, and 1 angel of an elderly rescue dog named Oni. My partner and I both have grown up with dogs and cats and have socialized both our dogs and our sons with animals as much as possible. In fact, our kids can’t get enough of animals and get super excited anytime they see one - it’s pretty stinkin’ cute. I have experience with fostering, boarding pets, and house sitting, as well volunteering for Austin Pets Alive for a few years. We’re pretty flexible and open to any special needs your pet has because we understand our pets are our family, so please feel free to let us know what’s needed and we’d be happy to accommodate. We’re super excited to meet you and your fur baby! I work from home 5 days a week and rarely do anything on the weekends (we’re homebodies!), so I’m here all day to play with your pet and take them out regularly! We have a big yard that has a short fence around the majority of the back yard, but they will have plenty of free space outside to play. If you worry your pup may run away off leash in the yard, we have additional short fencing that can easily be put up to keep them safe. Our dog is a little loud because she’s hard of hearing and will act a little tough at first with a tiny growl (hey! She’s been my baby since I bottle fed her at 5 weeks, she’s gotta protect me her fam) and she will bark for awhile but she gets used to every pet she’s been around in a matter of minutes. Never had any fights or incidents with her! We just ask that if your animal has any aggressive tendencies, to please consider other options or contact me for a meet and greet to see if we make a good fit. I’m here to play with your pet during the day and take them out/feed them/give them treats as much as needed. I do ask that you be as honest as possible about your pet’s potty-training issues (if any) and temperament/energy levels - we want them to be comfortable with us but we also have to look out for our kiddo. I can assure you though, your furbaby will be in the best of hands and may even end up coming home with a few new tricks to show off!! XO - M & B

About: I have been taking care of other people's animals since middle school and just love getting to know your pets! Experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, and fish! Willing to take on pets with medical needs! I work 40 hours over 5 days days a week. I am typically away from the house from 9 am - 5 pm or 11 am - 7 pm. I am able to come for a quick walk during my break. I am comfortable walking your animals on leashes, pushing them in strollers, using a treadmill, playing with them in the yard, or whatever else is your routine and preference!

“Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.”

“We loved having Lysney watch our dog and house! Our dog was happy, well cared for, and the house looked great when we got home. Super friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with — we’d absolutely use her again!”

Marissa M.

“We have had a wonderful experience with Giuliana! She was patient, understanding, and did an amazing job caring for our dog, who has some behavioral challenges. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”

Ashlyn M.

“Thyra was awesome with my dogs! I could tell she spent a lot of time focused on them and she left my house cleaner than she found it. Sent lots of photos/updates too. :)”

“Morisa is a wonderful pet/house sitter. She is communicative throughout the process from meet & greet to her stay. She asked questions about feeding & individual cat personalities, which I appreciated. I loved the pics she sent & felt relieved knowing she was hanging out with the four felines. She is chill & attentive - perfect combo!”

Kristin B.

“Alayna was wonderful! My dog is high energy and playful and Alayna assured me through text all the exercise he was getting. She was incredibly communicative throughout and gave us a summary of her stay at the end, including housekeeping updates. I will absolutely be seeking her services for future travel!”

Paul R.

“Susan was amazing! This was the first time leaving our dogs with someone so we were of course nervous but she was great with them. She sent daily updates and pictures and communicated well with us. She kept the house clean and even did some things that weren’t expected from her like washing the sheets on the bed! The dogs were both happy and well taken care of when we returned. I would definitely recommend Susan!”

Kara P.

“Casey was a great sitter! She was very communicative, and most importantly, our dogs seemed super relaxed when we came home. It was clear she had spent a lot of time with them and made them feel cared for and loved. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I have worked Animal Rescue, Fostering, Rehabilitation, and Adoptions the last 6 years! I understand pet parents, can easily follow instructions, and will stay alert to your pet needs! I will value your pet as I would my own! I currently work remotely, so I am extremely flexible. If not house sitting, I can make as many or little stops at your house as needed. I prefer to not board animals at my home. I do not have a fenced in yard, so it is not very suitable for a dog.

“Justin is a great sitter. Communicated well and took care of our pups while we were traveling.”

Marybeth W.

“JC was wonderful with our dogs and a fantastic house guest! She was very timely and easy to communicate with. We needed her last minute and she made a meet and greet happen before hand. I loved receiving daily pictures and videos of my dogs playing and snuggling with her. Would highly recommend her!”

Alexis D.

“She was very communicative and attentive to our fur babies. She took lots of pictures and made sure to watch out for some health concerns w our senior pup. The house was very clean and everything was well organized.”

Margaret K.

“Juliann was fantastic with our pets and our home! She took excellent care of all four pets and was great about sending pictures and updates. And the pets LOVED her! We will definitely be calling on her again!”

Jennifer L.

“Caitlin was wonderful. She was on time for a meet and greet, and after going over everything, we booked her for a vacation coming up. At the last minute, we needed Caitlin to spend the evening with Luna because our dog was adjusting to losing her companion and changing locations, and we were going out with friends all day and then again all evening. Luna was very chill when we got home late. I look forward to a stress-free vacation knowing that Luna is in good hands with Caitlin.”

Ruth J.

“Itzia was amazing! She took great care of our pets (we have five ?????) and sent us lots of photos and videos. She even left our house cleaner than we left it. We will definitely be using her again to watch our zoo.”

Gabrielle J.

“Emily was a wonderful dog sitter, so attentive and so communicative! She took great care of my dog and my place as well! I really value having updates and ongoing communication when I’m leaving my dog with others (especially someone new) and Emily understood the importance of that. Will definitely book her again! Thanks so much Emily! :)”

Attiya A.

“William was great with my puppy. He sent pictures and even saved her from eating a plastic chew toy that was left behind at the dog park. He gives wonderful updates that makes you feel at ease. Repects the space and kept things clean. Will definitely book again!”
