“Arantxa is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She sends the sweetest updates consistently, communicates everything, and helps out with the unexpected if it occurs while you’re away. My A/C went out while I was out of town, and she helped by replacing the filter and letting the repair man in. My pets adore her and I’m just so relieved to be able to rely on her when I travel. She keeps a tidy space and is so sweet and considerate. I book her whenever possible!!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Amanda! She followed the instructions we left, kept our dog on his normal schedule (which was super important to us), and sent us pictures and regular updates. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“Yuliia was so sweet and sent so many pictures of our babies while we were away! She truly took care of them like they were her own. We could truly enjoy ourselves knowing our girls were in great hands. Would absolutely book again next time we’re in town!”

“Matt has been an excellent communicator and pet sitter. He demonstrates so much care and concern for our pets and he will be a go-to for us well into the future. We give Matt our highest recommendation”

“Katelyn did an amazing job watching our two dogs at our house while we were out of town! She sent a ton of photos and updates and she left our house in perfect condition. We felt great leaving the pups in her care.”

“Matthew was super great and the dogs loved him! He sent frequent updates and was always very responsive. Got home from our trip to happy dogs and a pristine house :)”


“Christine has been a great sitter for my two dogs- one who can be very slow to trust sitters and she always keeps me informed with pictures and dogs are happy!”

“Jewel was an amazing caretaker for Bella. She was a clear communicator, showed great care for Bella, and left my home spotless at her departure. More importantly Bella loved her and was very happy to spend time with her.”

“Leeah was a lifesaver for me! She agreed to stay with my cat buddy Frank when I had to leave town suddenly. She was wonderful with Frank and a great communicator. She sent me new glamour shots of Frank and gave him lots of cuddles. I'd love to have her stay with Frank again.”

“Words cannot describe how grateful we are to Tiffany for all the care she showed to our dogs and cats. In the almost 10 days we were gone, she built strong relationships with a very tough crew. Our incredibly anxious 7 month old puppy warmed to her very quickly and our cat who rarely shows herself to anyone was snuggling on the bed with Tiffany by the end of her stay. We received lovely updates and photos on a regular basis and Tiffany was very quick to respond if we had any questions or concerns. Most importantly, and why I've waited to write this review, Tiffany encountered an incredibly difficult situation with our elderly dog and handled it with grace and care. Within a few days of us returning home, our sweet, ol' boy experienced an unexpected medical emergency. Tiffany was calm, collected, and quick to act, doing everything we would have done in her situation. Tiffany's care prevented our sweet boy from suffering, and by reaching out to members of our family who were in the Austin-area, allowed him to be surrounded by those who loved him at the end. The love and thoughtfulness she showed to our family in the aftermath of losing our ol' boy speaks volumes for Tiffany's character and passion for furry friends. Any person would be lucky to have Tiffany care for their pets!”

“Grace is amazing! Great communication and provided multiple updates which put our mind at ease while we were out in Austin. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future visits to Austin.”

“If you’re looking to travel and leave your fur babies in good hands, Ian is the person to trust! He cared for mine like they were his own, giving me the peace of mind to truly enjoy my trip. I’ll definitely be booking him again in the future!.”

“Morgan was fantastic! She was very responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. It was clear she genuinely cared for both of my dogs, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving them in her care. She kept me updated, was dependable, and has such a calm, positive energy with the dogs. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”


“Dina was fantastic with our pups! She was communicative and sent lots of pictures during her stay. She left our place so clean and the pups really enjoyed spending time with her. We will certainly be using her again in the future.”

“Colby did a great job taking care of our dog, who is a bit challenging, for almost a week. He made she got exercise, got treats and just generally well cared for and kept us up to date on everything. Definitely recommend!”

“My pup, Roo, had a great time hanging out with Ludovic! He was quick to respond when I needed someone last minute to keep our high energy & playful 1 year old German Shepherd-Pitt Mix. He made sure she stuck to her prescription food/treats due to her food allergies and even made sure to put a topical treatment when she broke out in a rash the day I had to leave her. I got regular updates/pictures/videos about what they were doing and how my sweet pup was doing. Each day I got videos of them playing and going out on walks. Thank you for all of your help Ludovic. Roo was happy & exhausted at the end of her visit with you!”
