“Julia did a wonderful job keeping my cat company while I was away for 2 weeks! She was very communicative and provided check-in pictures daily. Also super convenient that she lives in my complex so highly recommend if you live in east downtown Austin!”

“Amelia has been so great with my 10 week old puppy! She communicates any potty mishaps or new behavior. Gets him to potty even though he doesn't like being outside in the hottest part of the day, when I have her come. Thank you!”

“Natalie was attentive, friendly, and helped exactly how I needed help! She came exactly on time, sent me 13 photos of my cute animals, and gave a detailed report. The dogs loved her, and she was great with them! I would have her back anytime!”

“Valerie was so great at taking care of our Moose while we were out of town for a wedding. She sent very detailed check-in reports and photos every day. She was also super responsive to chat messages. We are so grateful for her effort in making Moose feel safe and cared for while we were away!”

“Ramajana is amazing! She clearly has a lot of experience, and she took great care of my very shy cat while I was out of town for a week. She sent detailed updates and plenty of photos, and it was such a relief to know my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend Ramajana to anyone looking for a cat-sitter!”

“Kim was great with my very skittish cat, even getting her to come out for a bit, which is rare with strangers! She was very easy to communicate with and kept me update the entire time.”

“Andy is SO great with our energetic and playful 2.5-year-old golden retriever. She is so excited to see him, and he always goes above and beyond to get her exercise, love on her, feed her and make sure she's happy.”

“Sydney watched Miso while we went away for a 6 day vacation. She took very good care of him and gave us great updates while we were away. She gave us a lot of peace of mind while Miso was alone. She is great at trying to get him to interact (he’s a little shy) and she went above and beyond and cleaned up a mess when Miso knocked his feeder over.”

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.
“Lindsay was SO good to my sweetheart while I was away. He was clearly loved and well cared for, and that meant the world to me. She was very thorough and consistent with check-ins and pictures. I felt very confident having her as my catsitter. ❤️”
About: Since birth, I’ve always shared a special appreciation & bond with all animals, especially dogs. It’s been my pleasure to adventure with these friends in all walks of life & I look forward to meeting your treasured companion too. With love, Gabriel 💛 I work part time at night from 10pm to 3am. The rest of the week i am free all day. I am a night owl, so i am usually not awake until around 11am - noon. All pets are welcome everywhere in my home! They can sleep with me in my bed if they are potty trained, or anywhere they like. Me Casa es Tu Casa.
“Elizabeth was wonderful. She spent some time with my dog and I for a meet n greet first and was flexible in her schedule to make it work for what I/Rally needed. She was consistently communicating and with all sorts of details to show she was paying attention to Rally and following the ground rules I laid out.”

“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!”


“Mya so graciously agreed last minute to take care of my dog while I was travelling. She was so wonderful and sent daily updates + is magical with dogs. Absolutely recommend her and will ask her again if i need a dog sitter.”

About: I grew up helping raise our family beagle from a puppy, so I’m comfortable with the energy, patience, and consistency that young dogs require. I also regularly care for my sister’s senior dog and absolutely love spending time with her. I’m comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’m also comfortable administering oral medication when needed. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Just give me the details! I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and gives me flexibility for drop-ins and check-ins throughout the day. I’m available for regular walks, feeding, playtime, litter care, and companionship, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule. I know how important it is to trust someone in your home with your pets. I’m respectful of your space and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, walks, medications, litter care, and any house or pet-specific guidelines. I’ll make sure doors are secured, pets are safe, and everything is left as I found it after each visit. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away.

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!!

i’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful dogsitter! leaving maki with someone else can be hard, but knowing she was being loved and cared for made me feel so much better. i really appreciated the care, attention, and kindness she showed my pup. i wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with my dog again and would absolutely recommend jordan to anyone looking for someone who will treat their fur babies like their own!

Booked Meg very last minute and she was a life saver. She came in to do a meet and greet the day before we left and then did such a great job taking care of our cat. Really made us feel at ease. Our cat was very relaxed and happy when we got home from vacation.

Grace is amazing. She took such great of my 3 cats - they seemed to warm up to her so quickly. Grace sent updates each day to let me know the cats were eating, drinking, playing. I never worried about them once. She also made sure everything was clean and tidy for my return home. Truly above and beyond care!

Kaileen was wonderful! She expertly medicated my elderly cat, and managed to make friends with my other two shy cats. My shy cats will only interact with people who have good cat energy, and Kaileen definitely has the gift! We would definitely rebook with her again.

I had such a great experience with Regan! She was able to accommodate Oliver on very short notice and even made time for a meet and greet despite her busy schedule, which I really appreciated. She was so sweet with Oliver, and I loved receiving photos and updates during his drop-in visits. When I got back home, Oliver was happy and in great spirits, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would absolutely book with Regan again and highly recommend her!
