“Denise was wonderful sitting for my 313 year-old Havanese with cancer. We greatly appreciated her photo and video updates and would definitely book with her again to care for our dog in our home.”


“Kenzie stayed with our two Great Danes and was simply amazing! She took care of them as if they were here own. She communicated with us the entire time, and left our home in perfect condition! The pups adored her! Would gladly have her take care of them anytime!”


“I never had to worry about our sweet girl while Mya was staying at our house for the week. Mya was always easy to communicate with and gave great updates. We felt 100% comfortable with her at our home with our dog and we could fully relax on our vacation knowing everything was taken care of and our dog was getting the best attention.”


“Sheri is a blessing. She took exceptional care of our dog and home while we were away. She communicated with us and asked pertinent questions. The home was clean and in order when we returned. We highly recommend her for sitting services.”


“Laura Rose was great - friendly and helpful. Laura was very good with our dogs, and they and our house were well taken care of. We appreciated receiving photos while we were gone. A positive experience for me and the dogs.”


About: I have taken care of my own and others pets for 50+ years. I have 3 indoor dogs of my own and have become the official ball thrower to the smallest of my pets because she loves to play fetch. I also care for the Hummingbirds yearly that visit my yard from March till September. I have a full time job but can feed, walk and care for your pets needs after 5 on weekdays and all weekend beginning at 5 on Friday evening. I will care for your pets with as much love as I do my own. Pets are our family and need to be treated and loved as we would our own. I will honor all likes, food choices and instructions given regarding the animals in your home.

About: I grew up in a pet living home. Experience with all types of breeds and behaviors. Let me care for you pet just how you want it. I work from home and have plenty of extra time for walking, pet care and playing with your pet. They won't even realize you are gone until you return. My care is individually created based on owners preferences and wishes. If medications are needed I have years of experience with giving meds to cats, dogs and exotic pets.

About: I've taken care of pets for around 16 years as an adult, for others and myself! I would say I have worked with dogs/puppies for about of those years off and on. This included some basics of beginner training for a puppy. My background is in human services, so I love people and pets :) It would be my pleasure to help support with your pet in your home, either drop ins, for a certain number of hours, or overnight, including house sitting. I do best with small to medium dogs, or some larger dogs who do not jump, pull on the lease, etc. I work from home, remotely at this time, so I have a lot of flexibility, and some weeks I can stay in home, and even drive a ways for these situations. Locally, Kerrville, Ingram, and within about a 10-15 miles radius, I can work in some regular daytime stays or drop-in. When caring for pets in my client's home, I focus on following the schedule and engagement in ways the pets do well with. I know some pets are more particular than others about schedules, so this is important. Regular movement is also important to me, so dogs will not be in crates longer than needed/requested. I aim to be available to engage regularly for longer stays as well!

About: I’ve loved dogs and taking care of them since I was very young. I currently work at an animal shelter where I regularly give meds, feed, clean living areas, walk, and handle dogs who may be a little more quirky and need more time to feel comfortable with their people/handlers. I know a little training skills, like working with dogs to set before going through doorways and positive reinforcement, but am hoping to broaden my knowledge as time goes on. I have great attention to detail and can keep track of things very well. I work full time typically but my job is flexible, on my days I do work 9-5 I have the ability to leave during my lunch and I have two days off a week. I will take care of a clients dog just the way they would! I know what it is like to worry about who’s care you’re leaving your beloved pets in so I would do everything to ensure that everybody is happy and comfortable!

“We were nervous about having to leave for a last minute international travel and it would actually be the longest time (2 weeks) we would have to spend away from our three loved ones (we have a larger dog, a little dog and a cat). We scheduled a meet and greet and all 3 felt very comfortable around Cheri, so we decided to proceed. It can be scary and uncomfortable to leave your pets with someone you don’t know but meeting Cheri made us more comfortable. She really put a lot of time and effort to send frequent updates with lots of pictures. We really appreciated that she took her time to get to know each of them and clearly put effort into bonding with our fur-babies; we knew it from the accurate reports she shared about their personalities, traits and habits. Her love for animals is impressive and our little ones definitely loved her back. We will certainly be reaching out to Cheri in the future and we highly recommend her.”



“My girls were happy and well cared for while I was out of town for a few days! Kaitlyn was able to help me, even with my last minute request for help watching my girls for a family emergency. They loved her right away and I could tell by the pictures she sent and when I got back that they were happy and healthy. I definitely recommend Kaitlyn for anyone looking for care for their animals.”


About: I am a mature longtime Pet Sitter with over 20 years pet services experience. I’m reliable, caring, honest and great with all animals! I love being of service to others and walking dogs and pet sitting is something I absolutely love to do. I’d been providing pet sitting in the Austin area for many years and recently have been a ranch sitter in Comfort, Texas since December 2024. I have a handful of loyal clients that have trusted me with their beloved animals for over 10 years. Let me be your companion's trusted companion while you are away or busy at work! I am currently ranch sitting in Comfort, Texas and have plenty of time during the day for drop ins and dog walking. In August 2025 I will be looking for more overnight pet sitting opportunities in the Texas Hill Country. When I am taking care of pets I take the utmost care to be mindful of the animals needs as well as follow the owners instructions to the letter as best I can.

About: I love any type of dog, and will spend all the time I can with them, young or old. I want all the dogs, but can't afford them. Teacher on holiday break, I have loads of time, and love to spend it with dogs and walking as much as I possibly can to help myself exercise. I follow directions that the owner gives to the best of my ability. I'm recovering from a ruptured ACL, MCL , and torn meniscus surgery, so I love the exercise.

About: I have a true passion and love for all animals. They all deserve love and comfort. Especially when their favorite people are gone! With 20 years experience with all different types of animals, I’d be honored to have the opportunity to help your fur babies feel safe and combat the anxiety. I do work a full time job. I am available on the weekends or if needed to pop in when I get off work at 5pm. My weekends are Friday- Sunday. When im off of work, your pets will be my priority 💕 Comfort is key, I’ll be sure to play with your animals/ interact with them and help them feel loved while you’re away. Lots of pets and plays

“Jessica took such amazing care of all my fur babies! She even left my house in better condition than when I had left it!!! She kept me updated every day and sent lots of pics and videos which I loved! Highly recommend and will definitely have her back if we ever need a house sitter!”


About: I’ve been around animals since I was born. I have been watching and taking care over fur babies for family and friends since I was 10. I have experience with many animals including dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, and fish. I also have worked with special needs animals as well. If your fur baby has any special needs and requires special attention I can do that no problem. I will treat your fur baby as my own. I have my dog Winnie. She is a labradoodle, she is great with any pet big or small, and we did live on a ranch before so we both have experience around many different animals. I love my girl and if anyone would take care of her while I’m away I would want them to take care and love her as I would. So when I take care your fur baby know that I will treat them as my own. I currently work on my own my time and have a flexible schedule and will work with you on when your fur baby will need care and love. I know it’s hard to leave your babies. If need I will stay overnight to make you and your family more comfortable. If you have a way on how you would like to do anything such as walks, feeding, bathing, or anything else please let me know.

Destiny M.
“Destiny is amazing with our dog Rocky. When we go on long trips she would stay in our home to take care of Rocky while we were gone. Feed and water, take him out to potty, and take him on walks with her and her dog. Rocky and her dog got along great. When my husband and I worked long days she would also come over and take care of him.”
