“Lillian was fantastic! She had great communication and sent lots of photos during each visit, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was punctual and stayed for the full 30 minutes with Juniper, making sure she had all her potty breaks, food, water, and attention. Juniper was clearly comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Lillian again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


“Nataliia was great! I really appreciated the level of detail in her check ins, and Bella looks like she had a great time playing with her. She left my place better than she found it.”

“This was my second time having Mariia take care of my cats, and she was absolutely amazing again! She sent me lots of photos and videos, which made me feel really reassured while I was away. The litter boxes were always spotless, and my cats looked so comfortable and happy. She’s caring, reliable, and clearly puts her heart into what she does. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”


“Arantxa is so sweet, reliable, caring, and engaging! From her updates and interactions with my dog and cat I can tell that she genuinely cares about animals and treats my pets as if they were her own. my dog just absolutely adores her and my cat never comes out for anyone- but Arantxa made the cut 🥰 She is the best. I’ll definitely be booking her in the future! Thank you for all that you do for my fur babies Aranxta 🩷”


“Sarah was an amazing pet sitter! She provided detailed updates and lots of photos. She genuinely cares for your pets and thinks of things I hadn’t even thought of! She offered to put on a calming tv channel during 4th of July so my pup wouldn’t be scared of the fireworks. Thank you so so much Sarah!!”

About: I'm a grad student at the University of Texas' LBJ school and would love to get some dog time in! I worked at a doggy daycare throughout undergrad and have been walking dogs and dogsitting since I was a freshman in high school. I love big dogs, small dogs, floofy dogs and short-haired dogs, all of them! I unfortunately don't have the resources to have my own pup but would love to help take care of yours. I am a full time student at the University of Texas at Austin, and hoping to supplement with dogsitting/walking! I will take care of your dog as if it were my own, and give it all my love. We'll go for nice walks, and have some fun treats, all while being safe and can send you pictures too!

“Ann Marie was available last minute for us and we are so lucky to have found her! She sent so many pictures, which we love lol. The dogs seemed very happy and she communicated the entire time with us. We’ve been through about 5 sitters in Kyle and she was the first to communicate effectively, show up on time and give the dogs the attention they needed while we were gone. I think we have found our forever sitter!”

“Cassandra & Jason provided excellent care for my three small dogs in my home. They were very thorough with their communication, they were prompt, and my pups got great care. I’m always nervous about going out of town and leaving my precious cargo in the care of others, but I would 100% recommend Cassandra and Jason.”


“Communicated well and took awesome care of my dog during a drop in visit. Even went the extra mile and cleaned up a little accident my dog had. Would 100% recommend!”


“Sydney did amazing with my cat. she was punctual and spent plenty of time w him. she provided plenty of updates and photos. i will definitely have her cat sit again.”


About: I grew up with two dogs and a cat and have always loved petsitting for all my friends and family. I love going on long walks and can flex to your schedule. I work fully remote so I can either stop by in the morning, during lunch and evenings, or work from your home if you’d like. I take my responsibility as a pet sitter very seriously and will make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine as best I can. I will make sure they are loved and well taken care of!

“Very thankful for Juliette! She took great care of my Stella, and in the photos I could tell Stella was having so much fun with Juliette! Thanks for watching over my girl while I was away.”



About: I’ve always had dogs in my life, most of them rescues, so I know what it’s like to have pups with all sorts of personalities. I work from home, so your dog will never be lonely and will get lots of playtime, walks, and snuggles. I’m used to caring for senior dogs, too, and can handle meds if needed. If you have a nervous rescue or a dog who needs a little extra patience, I totally get it and love helping them feel at home. Honestly, I just really miss having dogs around, so I’d treat yours like my own, plenty of love and attention, every day! Since I work from home, taking care of your dog fits perfectly into my day. I can provide lots of attention, playtime, and regular walks throughout the day without any rush. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to adjust to your dog’s needs, whether that means extra potty breaks, meal times, or just some cozy snuggle sessions. I live in a cozy apartment where I provide a safe and loving environment for dogs. I will make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, mental stimulation, and frequent walks to burn off energy. Working from home means I’m always here to keep your dog company and take care of their needs throughout the day.
