House Sitting Central East Austin

“Miles was so great with Kip. He walked him, went lots of pics and took absolutely fantastic care of our house too. Will absolutely book him again.”

“Paula took wonderful care of my sensitive, sweet greyhound. She spoiled her like the princess she is. And she took fantastic care of the house, plants, etc. She stayed with sweet Nyxie for two whole weeks, and everything ran smoothly the whole time, with lots of photos and reports to keep me in touch. Thanks so much!”

“Jacob was excellent with our puppy Remi. My husband and I haven’t had a night out in 6 months bc he cries whenever he is left alone and we just don’t have the heart. So thankful it all went over wonderfully with Jacob bc now we will have more nights out knowing Remi is happy and being treated so well and played with!”

“Marsha is our go-to person for watching Tani-dog. She's a good friend to Tani-- I can tell they enjoy each other's company. They take long walks together and she keeps us well posted on their time together. Marsha's an excellent choice for a pet sitter.”

“Katherine is a wonderful Petsitter! Our dog Sandie loved the long walks, play time in backyard, and snuggles on the couch. Katherine also took great care of our senior cat Prissy, including taking Prissy to an important vet appointment. We felt like we could relax on vacation because our girls were in great hands with Kat. Kat is mature, conscientious, and responsible. She’s also so gentle and loving with pets. Plus, our house looked even better than we left it! I would highly recommend Kat, and I hope to book with her again!”

About: I’ve spent pretty much my entire life surrounded by animals. Growing up in Greece, my parents and I regularly took in stray dogs and cats and gave them permanent homes. At our peak, we had four dogs and six cats at the same time, most of whom simply walked into our backyard one day and apparently thought, “Yep, this will do!” They never left. Since moving to Austin five years ago, I’ve been pet sitting for friends and, thanks to word of mouth, friends of friends (and eventually people I had never met, which I take as a good sign). I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and have been trusted with walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m very comfortable around animals and fully accept that while you’re away, your pet is the boss and I’m merely the staff. And yes, that’s Anna, our Westie, in my profile picture. She still lives with my parents in Greece, and whenever I FaceTime them, she is required to appear on screen first. My parents have accepted their place in the hierarchy. I’m a graduate student at UT, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule. Even on days when I need to be on campus, I often come home during my lunch break.
 My days usually start around 6 a.m. with a workout and wind down around 10 p.m. with a book in bed, so I’m happy to accommodate both early risers and pets who take their beauty sleep very seriously. Walks, playtime, meals, check-ins, and plenty of attention can easily fit into my daily routine. If your pet loves a routine, I’m your person. I know how much animals rely on familiarity, especially when their humans are away, so I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I’m active and always happy to go for a long neighborhood walk—or, if you live downtown, your dog and I may become regulars on the trail. But I’m equally committed to the important work of doing absolutely nothing. If your pet prefers couch time, they’re welcome to join me while I read. I’ll handle the book; they can handle the naps. Above all, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine, and I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos while you’re away.

“Another great stay with Aleksi! He was so flexible and understanding with what seemed like our ever-changing schedule after some travel difficulties, and as always took such amazing care of Woody and our home. Always five stars!”

“Mia accepted a last minute 5 day stay after another rover sitter cancelled 30hrs before the start of our booking. She was so kind to make a meet and greet work same day. She took great care of Clyde, sent photos and was proactive and promptly responsive with her communication while we were gone, and left our house in great condition — washed our sheets, took out the trash, 0 dirty dishes. 10/10 recommend her for not only great dependable care but also being a lifesaver so last minute. Thank you, Mia!!!”

“Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.”

Natalie E.

“Isabelle was awesome!! She came in clutch to watch my three fur babies for an extended weekend just when I thought I wasn’t going to find the right person. She was so kind, flexible, and honestly was the sweetest with our babies. I would 100% recommend for short or long stays because her communication & care was amazing and so genuine. Will absolutely use her again for any future needs that pop up here in ATX 😊”

Ashley D.

“Jena does an amazing job! She sent me pictures daily of our dog and took amazing care of him! She also brought in all of our packages and left our house in perfect order! I will definitely be using her again!”

Annie H.

“Mya was great! She went above and beyond while caring for my cats. Highly recommend working with her.”

Grace T.

“This is the second time we asked Ari to take care of Jojo for a long weekend, and she was so accommodating with some of my last minute requests. We came home to a super clean house and a happy puppy, and she even left a sweet hand written card and gifts for Jojo. We couldn’t have asked for more, can’t wait to have Ari over again next time!”

Yili S.

“Johanna was amazing with our large, independent dog! She was communicative and kind - we felt our sweet pup was very well cared for!”

Katie W.

“Being new to Rover I have never had anyone watch my dog before, but Lanis was referred from a friend who I needed for house sitting last minute. I am so grateful she was available and was able to watch my dog Kobe. She is an amazing sitter, always kept me updated with Kobe and kept the house very clean. He really enjoyed spending time with her- even cried when she left! I would recommend her to anyone and will booking with her in the future!”

“Pond ... WOW! There are many things worth praising about this incredible person and pet care giver. My fur baby, Gracie, is the luckiest dog ever! Gracie has Mom (me) and Gracie has Pond. Pond truly has the heart of an animal care giver, the sharp mind of a vet, and the empath abilities to sense and know what Gracie needed and when. Gracie's tail would wag and she would snuggle right up to Pond. I saw it! Gracie wasn't distracted by Mom; she wanted Pond's attention! Gracie has been aging over the time Pond has been caring for her, and Pond just goes with the flow of that. Pond will miss Gracies' sweet sixteen party because they're moving out of state. SO - if you are lucky enough to have Pond in your neighborhood in Austin, TXwe 2 ladies here in College Park MD will be jealous! I trust Pond with my precious baby girl. Pond stayed in my home or did visits, and even had the occasion to bring Gracie to their place. Hire Pond. They are someone you can truly trust with your most valued four legged family members! I truly wish Pond would be around to continue to love on Gracie until Gracie's final days (almost 16 is getting up there!) because of the way Pond cares for her - both in spurts of her energy and in her needing help sometimes up the steps or just her slowing down on walks. Sensitive. Responsible. Caring. Gentle. Fun. Intelligent and amazing Pond. Hire them!”

“Grace is the best person you could have to sit for you! She is great with the animals and little tasks around the house. She sends great pictures of our animals everyday and I know they are very well cared for when we are gone.”

Juliet N.

“You will not find a better pet sitter than Brittany. She spent so much time with our dogs, and they had a lot of fun together. We have a new tree that needs daily watering, and she was diligent about that as well. She was also great about sending us photos and updates.”

Leslie

“Paige was great to work with, communicative, and genuinely cared for our doggo who was anxious about being left alone. Would highly recommend for taking care of their furry friend.”

About: I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know each dog and follow their owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to make every walk, visit, or stay a positive and stress-free experience. I’m attentive to details such as feeding routines, exercise, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions. I also believe communication is very important. I’m happy to keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I offer walks and visits based on my availability. I’m responsible about scheduling and communication, and I will always make sure I understand your pet’s routine and needs before providing care. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules in advance so we can find what works best for both you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and take the time to understand their pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs before providing care. During walks, I stay attentive to my surroundings and keep pets secure at all times. During drop-in visits or house sitting, I treat your home with respect and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, food, bathroom breaks, and companionship they need. I believe trust is earned through reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I’ll keep you updated during the visit or walk and am happy to send photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
