Pet Sitting Bouldin

About: I’ve grown up around and with dogs and love them all. I’ve cared for them in many ways! :) Family members, friends and neighbors have always allowed me to help with their loving animals! I am currently a college student but my schedule is very flexibile and I am open to working with anyone on anything! I will always be honest with you and treat your pets like my own :) I can provide the best care to my abilities and I am open to any circumstances that may be necessary to provide comfortable care for you and your pets.

About: Hello there, animal owner! I know you want to find someone who’ll take care of your baby/babies the best they can. Everyone has their own personality type, and I will do my best to match your dog's energy--from chill to zestfully active, and to everything in between! We'll definitely get lots of exercise and match whatever pace is good for your pet :) I'm looking forward to new furrrr-iendships! Pointers: -Dog and cat first aid certified -Happy to take care of all living things at your home (cats, other pets, plants...!) -Able to work with all kinds of personalities -Will give your pet tons of love with cuddles, attention, playtime, and long walks! I do not take multiple clients at once. My priority is YOUR pet/s. -For housesitting: will respect your space and keep it spotless, only focusing on your pet and their care! -For boarding: Have a fenced in grassy yard, rare find in downtown Austin! There are multiple dog parks nearby, if that’s something your dog is into! -I am Deaf and use ASL, and there are tons of ways to communicate with me, no worries! -I am a serial communicator and will share as many updates, details and pics as you’d like! -No other pets or humans in the home. If there are, I will communicate with you and always be transparent. -With your pets, nonverbal communication with care, love and attention is a given! ☺️ I am available for boarding or home stays, just know that I am an elementary teacher and available after 4pm on weekdays, and all day on weekends. After moving to Austin from Virginia a few years ago, I took a break from Rover to focus on teaching and obtaining my certification, but regularly took care of friends and family’s pets. Now I’m back with my pet sitting services in Austin! I’m all yours with weekend stays to spend lotsss of time with your furbabies, and that is the type of booking I prefer! I will communicate with you if I have any other commitments so you know exactly what your dog’s stay will look like, even if it’s a grocery run. If I am working or need to leave the home, I also have a camera in my home for boarding to make sure they’re ok and safe. And YES, I live in an apartment but actually have my own fenced yard with grass! It’s great. A picture is shown of it in my gallery, with the two Australian shepherds in it. I also have a large crate ready for any dogs who may seek solace in it, or need to be crated when left alone. I'm very adaptable to your dog's personality and needs, and will be sure to give them plenty of quality time with play, exercise, rest, and nurture. I make sure your pet is fed, cared for, and happy when you're away - and I'll share frequent updates!

“Rachel was great! She did a little meet and greet with my cats before the scheduled visit, and kept me updated with messages and picture updates of my babies. She was friendly, chill, and good with my pets- even with my feisty cat who is a tough customer! Definitely will be booking her again in the future, and highly recommend using her for drop ins or longer stays. Thank you!!”

“The best care and communication you could ask for!”

“Lillian was absolutely amazing with my three babies! I haven’t used Rover in over 4 years and was pretty nervous to leave them for a few days for a work trip. Lillian came over for a meet and greet prior to make everyone comfortable and they all loved her immediately. She kept me updated with pictures each visit and it definitely eased my anxious mind. I’ll definitely be using Lillian again in the future!”

Haley S.

“She did such an amazing job taking care of my dog! Not only did she make sure my pup got a great walk, but she also spent plenty of time playing with her and giving her extra attention. Receiving the photo updates was the best part of my day. She’s super reliable, friendly, and truly loves animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: I am a big animal person and have always had pets at home! Will occasionally take care of friend’s dogs when they are out of town! Also love a good walk in the sun :) I currently go into the office daily for work, but it is 5 mins away from home, so very easy to swing back during the work day! I am available for on boarding on weekends and week days for both cats and dogs! I live in an apartment complex with a dog park so your dog can socialize but will keep away if they aren’t the social type! Love going for walks

“I have never used rover before and was a little nervous with my new puppy but Arantxa was amazing! She went above and beyond and was so communicative and took amazing care of my baby! I’ll definitely be requesting her to help again!”

“Nevaeh was an excellent communicator and gave my kitty lots of snuggles, as well as helped out with my plants and mail while I was gone. Thank you Nevaeh!”

“Lauren took great care of my dogs. One of my dogs is in congestive heart failure and has to be kept calm and needed medication. She did great with her.”

About: I grew up in homes with animals of all kinds and even had the privilege of loving and training some of my own furry friends. I’m patient and adaptable to different needs from animal to animal. I only sit at animals homes currently because I find they do better in their own environments. Overall, I’m very open to the specific needs of the pet and parent. I work from home and my work days are mostly flexible which allows me to give as much time and attention as needed to each animal. I prefer to inquire and understand what normal is for you and your pet and adjust to this during my sit with them. I tend to keep things as normal and calm as possible for the animal.

About: I’ve spent years taking care of my family’s/friend’s large dogs and small cats. Nothing scares me; I can handle any kind of dog (I especially love pit bulls)! I’m happy to use any commands the pet knows—I know there can be some variation. I currently work down South Congress and am usually off between 1-3pm everyday. After that, I’m happy to walk/sit whenever. I go on daily walks and am looking to explore Austin a little more, so dog walking would be perfect! On days I’m not working, I can dog sit/walk after 10am. I can feed, bathe, and crate dogs (usually) with ease. I keep calm when dogs get too excited, as to not excite them more. I give the best belly rubs too (so I’ve been told).

“Shannon was great with my two cats. She was attentive in our meet and greet and gave them lots of attention in her visits. It was apparent by how happy and excited they were when I opened the door on return, that they enjoyed her visits.”

“Nina was a wonderful sitter for my kitty, (also named) Nina! She made time to meet us beforehand and clearly had experience with cats :) she brought over calming energy and sent sweet photos of lap time snuggles. I was grateful for her and would easily recommend and rebook her again! thanks Nina ✨”

Laura S.

“First time working with Gayle for a drop in visit. She did a wonderful job following the instructions I left her and making sure I received updates/photos on my baby. Will be having her come back to watch him again!”

Erika S.

“Laura was reliable, thorough, and was persistently kind & warm to my cat even when my cat was antisocial the whole time I was away 😅 I was away from home for 2 weeks, and was greatly comforted knowing Laura was checking in on my kitty cat to make sure she was taken care of. Would absolutely book with her again!”

Hannah V.

“Would highly recommend Elizabeth! My little kitty has diabetes so he has to get an insulin shot every 12 hours. She always came on time, followed my instructions exactly, and took very good care of my boy. I loved seeing the pictures and the detailed updates she would provide. Loki absolutely adored her”

Emily L.

“Always reliable and on time. Great communicator and trustworthy. I hate leaving my cat when I go away but I feel better knowing that Jessica is watching her. Great sitter!”

Anne

“Kelly was the perfect sitter while we were out of town for an extended period of time. I’m not used to being away from my babies, but Kelly regularly sent detailed updates and lots of pictures, which made being away a bit easier. I would absolutely recommend Kelly to anyone needing someone to love on their animal(s) while they are busy/away!”

Rachel V.

“Megan has been incredibly patient and kind with Laifu! I highly recommend her. She always takes pictures and leaves detailed notes after each visit, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. I fully trust her with my cat.”
