House Sitting in Chestnut, Austin, TX

“She was so sweet and caring, my senior dog loved her. Great communication and super calm spirit. I will definitely be using her again. She was hyper aware that he was post surgical and made sure to communicate updates to me regularly”

About: We are Sunny and Wendy, and we are a couple that provide service together. In our free time, we like to climb indoors and outdoors. We are more than happy to take the pups out when they stay with us (only if allowed by owners). About Sunny 👨‍⚕️: I am an animal care professional with 15 years of pet care experience. I can provide special services including medication administration. I love playing with dogs and giving them walks when you board or book house sit with me, and I’ll make sure your pets are happy throughout the time with me. Please do note that I have a cat in the house if you would like to book a day care or boarding. About Wendy 👩‍💻: I am a UX designer in tech, and I work from home. I will be the main person that spends time with your pup or pups if you book a home sit service with us. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your preferred start/ end time. Please feel free to reach out if you have any question :) Sunny works from an office days everyday, and Wendy has a flexible schedule and works from home. With advanced notice we can accommodate our schedule to fit your needs. We have a two-story house with a high-fenced yard. Pets are allowed in the public area, patio and yard. There is also a fenced dog park in my neighborhood.

“Matthew did an INCREDIBLE job house sitting for my boyfriend and I. He watched our dog and 3 cats (and a few house plants) while we were out of town for 6 days. We've tried so many options for pet care when we traveled in the past and always seemed to find we came back to stressed pets and a messy house. This trip was so different! The pets were relaxed and happy, the house was perfect and overall we just felt much more at ease knowing they had someone looking out for them. Highly recommend him and will definitely rebook next time we travel!”

About: With a strong sense for dog body language and behavior, I naturally bond with dogs and know how to keep them engaged, playful, and calm. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior companion, I tailor their care to suit their needs and give them a fulfilling, well-balanced day. My schedule allows me to maintain consistent routines for feeding, training, sleep, and potty breaks. I offer a variety of experiences from city parks to nature hikes, giving dogs exposure to a diverse range of settings. I also provide basic training support including crate, leash/off-leash, recall, sport-based games like fetch and frisbee, and even task-based and obedience exercises—skills I’ve developed through 10+ years of experience with dogs from puppyhood to senior stages. As a graduate student currently on summer break, my schedule is wide open—and I’ve intentionally structured my time to prioritize pet care. I’m available for care throughout the day, whether that means early-morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or overnight sitting. My flexibility allows me to tailor routines around your dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic and need lots of stimulation or prefer a slower, calmer pace. I spend much of my time outdoors, and I love incorporating dogs into that lifestyle—hiking scenic trails, visiting off-leash parks, or just taking long neighborhood walks. I believe dogs thrive when they experience new encounters, and I work those moments of enrichment into every week. I live in a spacious, first-floor apartment with direct access to a secure patio and a neighborhood dog park—just steps outside my door. This makes potty breaks, quick outdoor play/walks, and socialization seamless and stress-free. Every day, our neighborhood hosts friendly dog meetups with well-behaved pups, offering perfect opportunities for your dog to engage with others in a safe environment. Inside my home, dogs will find a clean, calm, and organized space with plenty of enrichment. I have a variety of toys, training tools, puzzles, and games to ensure your dog stays mentally and physically stimulated—the goal is for no boredom and anxiety. I also keep a full range of grooming and cleaning supplies on hand, so whether your dog needs a simple wipe-down or a post-adventure bath, I’ve got it covered. I am well-versed in training methods and behavior management, so if your pup has specific routines or commands, I likely already have the knowledge and equipment to maintain their structure. I’m happy to reinforce crate training, leash manners, or any custom instructions you provide to ensure consistency while you’re away. I also have a well-socialized golden retriever mix who’s incredibly calm, friendly, and trained to model great behavior for other dogs. If your dog enjoys companionship, mine makes an excellent playmate. If needed, I can crate or separate the dogs for one-on-one attention or downtime—your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

“Woody was great to work with. Our dogs were very well cared for. Communication was consistent and helpful. Our house was really well taken care of. We look forward to having Woody stay with our dogs again.”

“Karli was awesome! She checked in with us multiple times a day and made us feel at ease that our doggies were being well taken care of! She has a great energy and was able to calm our excited dogs very easily 🙏 She was a great house guest as well, will definitely rehire!”

About: I pet sit because I want to, not because I need to💜. It’s a passion of mine to be around your pets. As the the oldest of 5 much younger siblings and a former professional nanny, I am a natural caregiver! Now, I am an independent hairstylist that works for myself, and as an animal lover, I have naturally become many of my clients trusted go-to pet sitter, especially for in house vacation pet sitting. I am highly trained as a former animal foster (including the bottle babies that require so much attention and responsibility) and as a professional care giver. I also grew up with non-traditional critters including, but not limited to, hedgehogs, salamanders, iguanas, guinea pigs, gerbils, etc. so I’m cool with whatever you throw at me! LGBTQ+ friendly!! I work for myself part time as a hairstylist. I make my own hours so it is very easy to not schedule on the days I am needed or to schedule large breaks in between. As a former nanny and elder millennial (lol) I am very responsible first! I always double check leashes, harnesses, doors, etc so you can leave your home feeling great with your guys in my hands. At my clients home, I very much like to follow their rules and instructions to the detail. I keep a photo and/or list of all instructions on my phone and a physical copy in my car. At my own home, I like to listen to what my clients feel comfortable with and follow that as discussed with them. I do like their pets to feel like I’m their loving grandma- they always get extra love and long walks when I come to see them!

“Michael took great care of our dogs and house. He was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures. We would gladly rebook with him again.”

Brian G.

“Matt was everything you want when booking a new sitter. Our dog loved him, he was super responsive before and during, and had a real ease and kindness about him. We didn’t worry at all and as a pet owner you can understand how invaluable that is:) we loved Matt, will rebook him forever in the future and recommend you book him too!!”

Mary G.

“Parker watched our two dogs and cat in our home for 5 days. He was incredibly communicative and super helpful! Sent plenty of pictures throughout the day and made sure the dogs got lots of walks. We have needy boys with medications and he was wonderful taking care of them. We would absolutely recommend Parker!”

“Isabelle did an amazing job housesitting, my pup while I was away. She made sure to send updates and check-in about how he was doing regularly. 10 out of 10 would recommend.😊”

“Lily is an amazing dog sitter!! She is very communicative and is proactive in asking questions or clarifying details about any needs that arise. When I get home, the pups are completely content—making it clear that they feel comfortable and happy with her taking care of them. Will definitely continue to reach out to Lily for future needs!”

About: Been watching cats and dogs for over 10 years mainly for friends and family. I also have experience with large dogs and multiple pet households. I work remotely so I’m available for frequent check ins or overnight stays. I just moved to Austin so I don’t have an overly busy schedule and have flexibility. Would make sure pets are happy and have plenty of attention while staying/visiting. Happy to do any additional pet chores while at your home if needed.

“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.”
