About: I started dog sitting at age 10 for neighbors and then moved on to in home dog care at age 15 as well as extended stays. I have a senior chihuahua with arthritis so I am very comfortable taking care of dogs that have medical needs. I am a stay at home mom so I am always available to be with the puppies for playtime and walks. My schedule is very open. I have a fenced in yard that is about a 1/4acre. my home is dog friendly. we allow dogs on our furniture and we have a black lab as well as a chihuahua.
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: 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!
About: I have 3 wonderful pups of my own and have had pets my entire life! I only recently started watching other people's pets but I love it! I have taken care of dogs with extra needs. Large dogs will be on a case by case basis. My schedule is pretty open at the moment! I am extremely flexible with time. If anything changes in my schedule I will notify you. I am willing to do weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced in backyard if pets are to be boarded at my home. I have two dogs that are crate trained so I do have experience with that.
“Abigail did a wonderful job taking care of our cats, Midnight and Oscar. We had a wonderful vacation knowing that our babies were in good hands. We would definitely recommend Abigail and hope to use her again.”
“Leah did daily drop-ins while I was out of town for the holidays. Leah did everything I asked, and took the initiative to do more to ensure my peace of mind. She came when scheduled and sent a pic each day. I loved seeing how happy my crew was, and knowing they were in good hands allowed me to enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Leah and will most definitely be using her again in the future. I have four dogs and one cat. Thanks, Leah!”

“Brittany was fantastic. We were on a cruise for a week and worried about not being in good contact, but she was great communicating with us and sending pics throughout the week to let us know the cats were doing well!”
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.”

Paullyshay D.
“Paullyshay has cared for my pets on numerous occasions. She has always exceeded my expectations for a caregiver. I have one dog that requires medication daily and she is the only one that I trust to care for him. The pets adore her, it’s very evident how much she cares for animals.”
Emma P.
“Emma is very good with animals. She has had them her whole life. She is the only person I let keep my dog. She's the best.”
Kenny N.
“I’m very thankful for the care and love that was shown to my pet and me at a time when we needed it most. I had back surgery and needed help with our family’s dog. Kenny was there for us. Our dog is not easy to handle at times but Kenny was able to keep her safe and under control while also having fun with her. If you’re looking for a calm presence for pups that’s tuned into their needs, I highly recommend Kenny.”
