Cat Sitting Dale

“I requested Katy’s services on short notice and couldn’t be happier. She asked all the right questions and was communicative and reassuring. My cats are a tad shy but she was able to coax them out of their shells for play time and pets. She was thorough and respectful and I will absolutely be booking with her in the future! Thanks, Katy!”

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for pets is something I truly love. I have over 10 years of experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve dog-sat many times for friends and families, including caring for multiple pets in one home for weeks at a time (3 dogs and 4 cats). I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with senior and special-needs pets. I once cared for an elderly German Shepherd whose back legs no longer worked. I helped with mobility, hygiene, feeding, and cleanup, and made sure she stayed comfortable and loved. This experience taught me patience, compassion, and how important gentle care is for older pets. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to give pet parents peace of mind through reliable, attentive care. I work part-time at a restaurant, so my schedule is very flexible. On days I am not working, I am available to stay with pets all day and provide overnight care. On the days that I do work, my shifts are typically about 5 hours long, which still allows me time to care for pets before and after work. If I am scheduled for a double shift, I have a 1-hour break in between, which I can use to check in on pets, walk them, and make sure they are comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize making sure pets are not left alone for long periods and maintain a consistent care routine. When caring for pets, my top priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and house rules to ensure consistency for the pet. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime, and maintain a clean environment including food areas and litter boxes. I take time to build trust with each pet at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or anxious. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel completely at ease while they’re away.

About: Growing up in the country, I have grown up with all sorts of animals (dogs, cat, rabbit, cows, longhorns). However, dogs have been the animal with me throughout my entire life. We got our first family dog when I was 6 and have had 3-10 dogs at a time since then! Needless to say, I'm definitely a dog person. I have experience feeding, walking, and washing dogs, and can do some basic self-taught training (sitting, down, shake). I also have house-sat and pet-sit for some family friends' and my friends' parents on several occasions. My house is full of animal love. I have a 3-year-old Plott hound mix (named Nova), a 4-year-old German Shepard (named Goose), and a 8 month old cat (named Ary). They all have their own special quirks, but are so funny and love running and playing! Nova is very food motivated and loves to run in circles and play in water, Goose is very toy motivated and could play frisbee for hours without a break if we let him, and Ary is the definition of a "lap cat" but loves being our pest control when she see an bug. I hope you give me the chance to give your fur babies some extra love and attention! I'm a full-time social worker! I can provide overnight visits whenever, but walking and drop-ins are only available on weekends and then during school scheduled breaks (my availability will reflect it)! In my home, one of my dogs is crated due to her liking to get in the trash. So, I am easily able to crate your dog if necessary and of course feed, water, play, and walk them as needed! Also, more than willing to send you pictures of your dogs throughout the visit if that's something you want :)

“My cats were healthy, happy and well taken care of by Blayne. Opal says “yes, bring her back! Warm lap and she knows right where to scratch my ears!” Azeriphale wants another round of chase the toy mouse!”

“Christine is the best. Responsible and communicative. You can tell she cares for the animals, even going above and beyond recently to get food when I was running out. Thanks for taking such great care of my girl.”

Jana T.

“This was quite a difficult job with 4-5 week old kittens, and Caydi was wonderful with them.”

Kandi R.

“Danielle stepped in for us at the last minute for drop in visits when our original sitter canceled. She was really great with our pup! She was punctual, patient, friendly, and sent plenty of photos and updates while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again!”

Kayla H.

“Katelyn did great and was very communicative with me. I would recommend booking her for any services!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!

About: I have several years of experience caring for pets through both personal and hands-on situations. I grew up accompanying my mother while she cleaned homes, where I was responsible for looking after pets during visits, including feeding, walking, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they were calm and comfortable while their owners were away. I also had a cat for 18 years, during which I was involved in her daily care, routines, and longterm wellbeing throughout her life. I care deeply about animals and tend to be very attentive to their needs and comfort. To give a small example, I often check ahead of time if a movie involves animal harm so I can prepare myself emotionally. These experiences have made me patient, observant, and consistent with animals. I’m comfortable following detailed routines and making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and well looked after in their owners’ absence I work as a private violin teacher, typically teaching lessons daily in the afternoons and evenings, usually between about 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM, with some variation depending on the day. My mornings and earlier afternoons are generally flexible, which allows me to schedule pet care, walks, and drop-ins consistently during those hours. I also have availability later at night and overnight depending on the booking, which makes house sitting and extended stays possible. I’m organized with my schedule and make sure to communicate clearly in advance so pet care responsibilities are reliable and consistent I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for each home I enter. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain a calm and structured environment for pets, and ensure their daily routines are kept consistent. I’m attentive to detail, especially during walks and feedings, and always make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure. I treat each home with care and professionalism, keeping spaces clean and organized. I also provide clear communication and updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

“The BEST! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily! I’m pretty sure our fur children love her more than they love us but all kidding aside, she is attentive to all details and truly loves our animals. We have a wild English bulldog who is still living his best life on a high level of puppy energy and she is so wonderful with him. I do not worry about them at all when we are away and love all of the updates and pictures she shares. Not to mention our house is usually tidier than before we left. Truly a wonderful sitter!”

“Where do I start on how wonderful Sheena is with my 3 dogs, Foxy, Houdini and Freddie! My dogs lover her and she goes above and beyond to make sure they have fun, do their business and the dogs are ready for bed with no muss or fuss! Sheena's photos each day are so good, she just captures them and how thrilled they are to be with her! I recommend Sheena highly and would give her 100 stars if I could. You will not be disappointed if Sheena is available to help you with your pups. Jo”
