House Sitting Circle D-KC Estates

“We had an amazing experience with our Katelyn! She took exceptional care of our pups and kept us updated with frequent messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When one of our dogs went on a food strike, she didn't panic and she thought outside the box, found a solution that worked, and kept us informed every step of the way. It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We came home to two happy pups and a well cared for home. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Daniela provided fantastic care for our dogs and house while we were away. She adapted to changing situations as needed and communicated with us every step of the way. Would definitely use her services again in the future.”

“Dorian was terrific. From the moment we met him we felt confident that our kitty and our home would be well taken care of. He did not disappoint. We would gladly have him stay anytime we are away.”

“My husband and I would highly recommend Victoria to care for your pets. She came for a meet and greet for our 3 dogs and made each one feel comfortable and both Zack and I felt at ease leaving our dogs and our home in her care while we were away. Victoria texted us both with updates, sent pictures and videos! We needed a sitter last minute and we are lucky to have found such a great and honest sitter to watch and care for our dogs and our home. We will use her again anytime we leave!”

“Came home to happy, relaxed dogs! Thanks for taking such good care of our home and pups!”

About: I understand that we live in a busy world so when you book me I make sure to treat your dog(s) like my own! I always feel accomplished when I bring a dog home that has been worn out, and I'm always patient with dogs that are not so easy on walks (big dogs, reactive dogs, dogs who are anxious and dont really like walks). I have lived in Austin for 22 years and I am familiar with many neighborhoods and parks so I am able to take your pup on longer, more mentally stimulating walks rather than just walking around the same block again and again! I appreciate you choosing me to spend time with your pup(s) and I'm am excited to explore Austin with your fur babies!

“Michelle stayed with Luna for a week, and she took care of both our dog and our house beautifully. I think our house is in better shape than when we left it! Michelle kept us updated with messages and pictures while we were away. Awesome pet-sitter!”

“Rachel was a good companion for our dog Wilson while we were away overnight. She took him on lots of walks and kept him on his daily routine.”

About: I’ve been the go-to family/friend pet sitter my entire life, so I am constantly around animals and committing to taking care of them. I also worked at a pet store, where I learned a lot about pet care, food and products. I’m pretty comfortable around all dogs & cats and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to their individual personalities. When you trust me to play, walk, or take care of your dog, I want you to know that they will receive the dedication and love that my own fur balls get (lots of it!). My partner and I have 2 dogs and 3 cats that I love dearly. My boy dog has some neurological issues which makes his care a bit more complicated but it has given me experience for dogs with additional needs! My availability is currently wide open so I am available for drop ins, dog walking, or house sittings whenever needed! I’m also incredibly flexible and can accept last minute bookings as long as I am given some travel time! When in your home, I would love to take your babies for walks or field trips to the dog park, anything you would already do with them to make them comfortable. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and stay comfortable in their routine. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in their behavior or needs in order to let their owner know along with following their owners given directions.

“Norm was great. Peaches loves him even though he smelled like other dogs. He took good care of our dog and house. I would recommend him to everyone. He did an extra long stay for a once in a life time trip. My Great Dane was his blanket every night.”

“Brandon was such a pleasure to work with, when I returned home everything was perfect! Pups were so happy and excited to see me. My house looked great! He communicated regularly, and Brandon definitely eased all my anxiety. I am nervous pet mom and Brandon ensured me that everything went fabulous! Thank you so much Brandon❤️”

About: I have been involved with dogs, cats, birds reptiles, fish livestock including horses may entire life. I love to take care of animals whole heartedly I am working part time and am there for available to board anytime or check on your pets in late afternoons and all day on the weekends. I have a large fenced property and have several fur babies to keep your pet company. I have a huge area to walk your pet and have the ability to crate your pet as needed.

“Andrea (Ash) is a terrible Rover. Definitely don't hire her...... That way she'll always be available for my Cocoa when we need her. Okay, being serious now....if and when we ever need another Rover for our baby, you can rest assured we will be desperately trying get her again - she was wonderful with Cocoa and very with us. You could see it in the pictures. Cocoa was happy and loved while we were gone. We have been reluctant to take any trips because we aren't comfortable leaving our baby. But with Andrea, we both felt assured that she was in great hands. We will actually be much more likely to take trips if we can get Andrea to be our Rover in the future!”

“Teresa is awesome! She took great care of my puppy Junior, and house sat for me over Memorial Day weekend. She took great care of Junior, kept me updated throughout the weekend, and left my apartment better than she found it! She really went above and beyond! 10/10 recommend”

About: Hi I’m Hayley! I’ve been a compassionate animal lover my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs. My husband and I rescued our Evey at 3 months old and she’s now 9 years old! We take excellent care of her and she’s treated like part of the family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby with someone else while traveling, so that is why high quality attention and care is my priority. I like to keep you updated, sending plenty of photos and always communicating. I’m available for house-sits, drop in visits for cats as well as in home boarding for dogs. My husband works from home and I have a flexible schedule. Whether you have a younger high energy dog who needs lots of playtime and walks and exercise, or you have a senior dog who likes to cuddle and lounge around on the couch I’m here for you! I’m currently working part time so I do have plenty of time to play, take care of, and give attention to your doggies! A typical day if you’re boarding your dog at our house would be outdoor time first thing in the morning, breakfast, nap time, a walk late morning or evening depending on the Texas heat, relaxing inside, dinner, more outdoor time, play time, cuddles and bed. If you’ll be boarding at our home, we have a house that is set up perfectly for dogs and a large fenced in backyard for them to run and play safely. Someone is always out there with them whether it’s me or my husband Nathan. They get plenty of attention in our home since we are home all day.

About: Howdy! :) I’m Skylar! I’m a kindergarten teacher and currently pursuing my master’s in Special Education at UT Austin. While completing my online program, I’m spending my time babysitting, pet sitting, and traveling, which means I have a super flexible schedule and plenty of availability for your pets! I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, both personally and professionally. Growing up on my uncle’s cattle ranch, I gained hands-on experience caring for all kinds of furry friends. I’ve also cared for plenty of smaller pets, including dogs, cats, and hamsters. My background has given me experience with a wide variety of animals, personalities, and needs. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and experienced in creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’ll bring that same care and attention to your pets, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I absolutely love animals and would be thrilled to care for yours. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family! 🐾 I’m currently pursuing my master’s in Special Education through UT Austin, and my program is fully online. Because I’m not working a traditional job right now, my schedule is extremely flexible! I’m available throughout the day, evenings, and weekends for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and pet care. I’m also able to give pets plenty of attention and stick closely to their normal routines. I do travel periodically while completing my degree, but I plan my trips around my pet-sitting commitments and only accept bookings when I know I’ll be fully available. I’d love to work with you and find a schedule that fits your pet’s needs! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities! 🐾 I’m big on communication and will send plenty of photos and regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. For walks: I bring my own poop bags, but ask that you provide your pet’s usual collar/harness, leash, and any other equipment they need (such as dog shoes). Before our first walk, we’ll go over your pet’s routine, personality, and any safety expectations — including how they do around other dogs, whether they’re comfortable drinking water while out, and anything else I should know. We can stick to a familiar walking route, visit a dog park if you’re comfortable with that, or add games like fetch and playtime when your pup needs more energy burned than a walk alone. For boarding in my home: I have a fenced-in yard, access to a neighborhood dog park, two friendly cats, and a 15-lb fluffy white dog who absolutely loves other animals. I’ll always take your pet’s personality and comfort level into account when deciding how much interaction they have with my pets. For house sitting: I treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine — keeping things clean, respecting your space, and following your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I especially love house sitting because I can work on my online master’s program while keeping your pet company, taking plenty of breaks for walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away — and for you to feel completely in the loop the whole time! ❤️🐶🐱

“Lillian (Ruthie) took such loving care of my li'l girl Sadie! This was my first time leaving her since a cross country move, and Ruthie helped keep Sadie's routine consistent while giving her a quiet, comfortable environment. She was also wonderfully communicative, trustworthy, and caring. Thank you, Ruthie, and we look forward to having you out again!”

“Erica was amazing! She took great care of our three dogs and gave updates throughout her stay! Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up. From puppies, to full size, elderly and special needs pets. I’ve had a fun time training and playing with pups of all sizes and breeds. Taking care of them is one of my favorite hobbies. I’m always the go to for sitting when people need it. i’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups before or after work. I do work some weekends so I can do any time as long as I have notice beforehand so i can plan accordingly. i’m easily adaptable, the more information the better from feeding schedules to how long playtime should be and what you’d like to see while you’re away. I can provide toys if needed and treats as long as theyre safe for your babies.

About: I have experience with fostering dogs rescued from difficult situations. I am very patient and can handle a lot of energy. I love animals of all sorts, and I can work with each pet with consideration of their specific needs. I work remotely, so I'm able to really attend to any pets in the home and to integrate them into my day. My apartment has a great dog park and my neighborhood is great for walks as well. My schedule during the day allows for me to go for short walks in addition to 1-2 longer ones. I would treat any pet as my own. I feel lucky to get to spend time with them and I know being entrusted with someone's pet is a big deal.
