House Sitting in Burnet

“Jessica took very good care of my boys while I was out of the state for several weeks. I’ve never been away from them for so long before so I was very nervous but after a few days of checking on them and getting pictures, I knew they were in good hands with Jessica.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Granite Shoals near Marble Falls, and I’m happy to travel within an hour of the Austin area to care for your pup. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly believe they’re family—not just pets. I currently share my home with Josie, my sweet 10-year-old Pug, and Bella, my energetic 2-year-old rescue Pit mix. Having dogs at very different life stages has given me experience with everything from senior care and slower-paced walks to playful energy and enrichment. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends care for their dogs—whether that meant walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their humans were away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy trail walks and neighborhood strolls, always tailoring activity levels to each dog’s needs, age, and personality. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! My full time job is mostly remotely, which gives me the flexibility to plan my day around a pet’s needs. This allows me to provide regular walks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure secure environments and safe walks, and treat both pets and homes with care and respect.

“Amazing Dog Sitter! Makaehla was absolutely incredible while we were away. She stayed at our house and loved on Raven and Rasco like they were her own. We came home to happy pups and a spotless house, which says everything about how well she takes care of both pets and home. She went above and beyond, communicated perfectly, and gave us total peace of mind the entire time. We will definitely be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”

“Kimmie was great!! Kept us updated with daily status and photos. Would definitely recommend if you want peace of mind that your pet will be left in great hands while you are away.”

“Hilary kept in communication with me up to the days she stayed overnight with my three dogs. She made sure she understood my expectations and sent pictures the pups daily. I will use her services again and highly recommend her services.”

About: With 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I have a deep understanding of animal care, from cats and dogs to exotic species. I’ve worked with pets of all temperaments—whether they’re energetic and playful or more reserved—and I’m comfortable providing care for animals with special needs or medical conditions. In addition to my veterinary experience, I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for clients who visit our veterinary hospital, which has given me the opportunity to care for a variety of fur babies in their own homes. I also have experience with exotic animals, having worked at a botanical garden where I cared for a wide range of species. From reptiles to birds and small mammals, I’m familiar with the unique needs and care requirements of different types of animals. Whether you have a cat, dog, or exotic pet, I am fully prepared to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re away. I have my own fur babies, so I truly understand the trust and love that goes into finding someone to care for your pets. Whether your pets need medications, extra attention, or just a familiar face to keep them company, I’m here to ensure they’re in the best hands possible. I offer flexible and open availability for all your pet sitting needs! Whether you need someone for a few hours, overnight stays, or extended care, I am happy to accommodate. As a pet lover with a background in veterinary medicine, I prioritize the well-being of your pets and can be available on short notice. My schedule is open to fit your needs, so feel free to reach out for any day or time that works best for you and your fur babies! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, which is why I strive to create a calm and familiar environment for them. With my experience as a veterinary technician, I am equipped to handle all aspects of pet care, from following specific routines to administering medications if needed. I believe that safety and trust are the foundation of great pet care. I’ll make sure your pet is always secure in their surroundings, keeping doors and gates closed, providing supervision during outdoor time, and ensuring they are never left alone in unsafe situations. I also make sure to follow any special instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained while you’re away, from feeding times to favorite toys or special cuddles. I treat your home as I would my own, respecting your space and keeping everything neat and tidy. I also offer updates and check-ins to keep you informed and help ease your mind while you’re away. With my experience and genuine love for animals, you can trust that your pet is in the best hands, enjoying their time at home while you’re gone.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was ten. I have always had both in my household. I have experience caring for puppies and older dogs alike, as well as kittens and adult cats. I’m currently working part-time to focus on my academics. I’m a full-time student at Texas A&M, but am eager to fit in work whenever I’m available! Though my schedule fluctuates throughout the year, I’m currently available everyday after 2pm. Tuesdays can vary, but I’m usually flexible! I’ve watched pets in client’s households over intermediate periods of time on numerous occasions. I am comfortable crating, walking, and feeding (including special dietary needs), as well as other household tasks such as collecting mail, basic housekeeping, and plant care.

“What a great time the puppers had. Every picture they were smiling. I was able to enjoy my trip and not worry. Frequently checked in just to let me know how they were doing. Highly recommend!”

“Nathan did an amazing job taking care of our dog! He went above and beyond in every way and was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay. It’s clear he really understands dog behavior; he knew exactly how to read our anxious dog’s needs and adjust accordingly, which gave us so much peace of mind. On top of that, he’s genuinely a super nice person! We’d highly recommend Nathan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their pets!”

About: I've been working as a dog groomer for the past two years, but had to pause that to focus on my health. I've volunteered walking dogs in animal shelters, and as a child mucked horse barns and brushed/washed horses in exchange for riding lessons. 😂 I've loved animals my entire life. I was raised in a family of 2-6 dogs (it increased frequently) and will admit only here that I loved them more than I loved my sister! I'm currently coming out of treatment and unemployed, so I have plenty of time to watch your furry friends! My only obligations are a weekly monday appointment and a biweekly friday appointment. I have a very nice, soft voice for any frightened pups, and am told I'm a bit of an animal whisperer. I will do my very best to connect with your animals and individualize my care in any way I can!

“So happy Erin was available to watch my babies! She is patient and kind . My dogs can behave like gangsters when they are around someone new. Erin won them over and they have made a new friend. I’m grateful she was here for us.”

“Bonnie is very experienced and did an excellent job at taking care of my dog and her puppies for the day. She sent photos and updates which was appreciated. My dog loved her right away. Would definitely book with Bonnie again!”

“Ashley is wonderful with Lucy. Lucy is very comfortable with her. Ashley will be my go to sitter for Lucy every time I need to be gone overnight.”

About: I started as a little kid taking care of my family dogs.As I got older I watched my grandparents dogs over night.Now I have dog name Summer "Animals aren't just a job for me – they're my entire world! Every day is an adventure filled with wagging tails, purring companions, and the joy of understanding what makes our furry friends tick.

This daily immersion in the world of pets means I bring not just experience, but a deep, personal understanding and endless patience to every animal I care for."

I'm meticulous about following your specific instructions, maintaining routines, and ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for your furry family members. You can trust me to treat your home with the utmost respect and to provide vigilant, loving care so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away."

“Needed a last minute booking and Jaymi saved the day! 1000% would recommend to care for your fur babies! Didn’t have to worry one time, & my picky fur kids were as happy as a kid in a pool! Thank you sooo much J!”

“This was our first visit with Billy. I gave a long list of concerns about our 95lb coonhound and Huskypoo that likes to run away. He came back to walk the dogs later that night and walked into a mess that our pups had created. I'll spare the details, but Billy promptly contacted me that he had 3 dead chickens to clean up (2 inside the house). He didn't call me freaking out, and in turn I would freak out. He text me the info and we talked. He asked for a broom to clean them up. A BROOM?? Billy went went wayyy over the top for us and cleaned up and removed 3 dead chickens before we even got home. I've got a ton of respect for the way he handled the situation and our pups. Needless to say, Billy is our dude now. Thanks, Billy!”

About: I have worked with animals my whole life from cattle horses sheep to dogs. I seem to have more in common with animals than I do humans. I know how to take care of your best friend and their needs. I don’t mind walking dogs that need training would do one on one session with them. Will only walk 2 dogs at atone so they can have their own space. I set at home most of the day until 2:55 My dog would love a play date she gets along with all dogs so they won’t be lonely. Trying to make some extra income! New to rover so bare with me please. If you would like to do a meet and greet before hand I am ok with that to!

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, growing up in a home full of pets, which sparked my passion for caring for them. I spent four years working in the veterinary field, gaining hands-on experience and deepening my love for animal care. During that time, I worked as a kennel technician for two years and as a veterinary technician assistant for another two years, providing attentive, compassionate care to pets of all shapes and sizes. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me plenty of free time during the week to dedicate to pet care. I’m able to provide consistent attention, companionship, and care for pets on a regular basis, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a friendly 7-year-old dog who loves companionship and playtime! I also have a huge fenced yard, perfect for pets to safely run and enjoy the outdoors.

About: I've always had pets in my life. I currently have five rescues dogs and two cats. They make me smile! It gets loud, but I have no regrets. I am a Burnet local for 10 years now. I know it's hard to leave our pets. I will gladly check in on yours and make sure to give them plenty of attention. They will always feel loved and cared for under my watch. My pets are treated as part of my family. I talk to them daily, give them treats, and make sure all of their needs are met.
