“I can see why Sarina has great reviews and repeat clients. She is very responsive and respectful. My husband arrived home a day before I did and said everything looked great and the pups were happy. One of ours needs eye drops and oral medication and that was no problem. We will try to book Sarina again.”
“Abby is simply the best!! We have a sense of comfort when we leave our 2 Jack Russells with her. We never feel the need to check-in, however Abby always keeps us informed and sends lots of pictures.”
About: I have been taking care of animals of all sorts almost my entire life. I have a strong personal connection to cats and dogs and have always had some of my own. I am the pet sitter of the family, and my friends also call me to come sit for their animals. I have references if needed. I have a few medical conditions I manage on my own that leave me unable to fill a normal job. This means that I have a lot of free time. Pet care can be my focus next to my health and has been most of my life. I cannot have animals where I stay now, so I would really love to extend my services and make some animal friends in the meantime. I am able to feed, walk, and play with all of your animals, whether inside or out. I will bathe dogs up to 35 lbs (I'm sort of weak from being sick right now but I'm trying to manage this) and hopefully larger in the future. I can clip nails, treat wounds, and give medications.
About: My family and friends have trusted me with their fur babies for over 20 years. I have medical experience and have had a dog that developed diabetes at 10 years old, that I cared for. I will care for your senior pup or youngster! I have owned small and large dogs, and cats as well. I am currently semi- retired and doing online classes. I am home every day I need to be, to care for your baby as if they are home with you. I have 2 dogs that are 1 & 3 that love to run and play. I also have the ability to crate a medium and large dog as well, if that is your preference. I strive to keep as close to your normal routine as possible, but also want your pup to be on "vacation" as well!
“Gabe was awesome and took great care of my Nala girl as well as my home during my last minute trip. I received multiple check-ins with pictures daily that really added to my peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Meredith was phenomenal! She called ahead of time and got every detail in advance and she was super sweet to my pup! She will take great care of your pet and will be sure to get everything just right so your pet is as comfortable as possible! Highly highly recommend having her as your Rover!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11. My neighbors always counted on me to take care of their dogs while they were at work or on vacation. I’m currently working a part time job as a cna and i’m alsoin college getting my basics for nursing. I would be available to care for your dog on Tuesday and Thursdays after 10:00am and any other day after 3:00pm! I will give your dogs all my attention. I will be sure they feel safe and loved! I will follow all policies required. As they see me come around more they will love me!
“Tracy is the best pet sitter ever! She and her husband agreed to take care of my dogs Skar and Andy. Although Skar is a very territorial dog and not very friendly with new people. Tracy gave him all the love to earn his trust! Andy on the other hand, is a very loving dog and found a lot of love in Tracy! If you are thinking about hiring someone to care for your pets, Tracy is the perfect person you can trust!”
“Emily was excellent. She kept in touch to let me know that my babies were doing well and I really appreciated all of the photos. The house was immaculate when we arrived home. She did everything we asked her to do and more. I would not hesitate at all to recommend her (as long as it does not interfere with my travel plans :)) at all. I fully intend to employ Emily in the future to care for my babies.”

About: I have ten years of experience caring for animals in shelters, as well as walking and caring for them locally (e.g. Austrian Animal Welfare Association; Austin Animal Shelter). I want the pets to always feel comfortable, that they have enough exercise and cuddles. I want your pet to be well and safe in your absence. Back in Austria, I cared for my own two cats, my dog and a horse. In February 2023, my dog and I moved from Austria, where I spent 9 years of my life and finished school. I plan to establish a dog care business here. I offer in-house sitting during your holidays, so your pets can enjoy life in their familiar environment. I am very flexible timewise. Please tell me your needs. I can offer both sitting in your house over night (e.g., on your vacation) and short-term sitting such as going to walks. I want to make sure that you feel comfortable. I will send you updates and fotos regularly. You can contact me any time during pet care.

Faith K.
“Faith has this uncanny ability to get dogs. They feel safe and welcome and loved almost immediately. The way that she directs her attention at them just lets them know from the get-go, "this woman cares". Shelter dogs, rescue dogs, everyday pets, they all warm to her readily. They want to sit as close to her as possible; or even on her if they can. I think it is a great relief for dog owners to know that there dog will feel safe and loved while spending time with Faith.”
