“Jason and Cassie took great care of our pup! They were so communicative and helpful. Would highly recommend and hope to book them again soon!”


“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”


“Melissa and Hernando were absolutely wonderful. Their home is super clean and they could not have been more inviting.My Maude can’t wait to stay with them again.”


“100/10 couldn't recommend Angela more! She truly loves caring for dogs! Truly grateful having her watch Barton!”


“Arianne provided excellent care for Izzy. Izzy is usually shy and takes time to warm up to new individuals, but she connected with Arianne very quickly. This immediately put me at ease. I would absolutely recommend Arianne to anyone seeking a caring and trustworthy individual.”


“Marissa was very thoughtful and helped me with Josie after I asked her the day before! Grateful for her and her husband to watch over my little one 😊🙏”


“Ana was very friendly and sent consistent photo updates during daycare for Kolache! She is very accommodating and wants to make sure both owner and pet are comfortable.”


“Kate is the BEST sitter. She genuinely bonded with Lois and took such lovely care of her…as though she was her own! Also, she and her husband are lovely people and it was a great experience…lots of photos and updates. Couldn’t recommend them more!!!”


“Rachel and Justin are nothing short of phenomenal! Leaving my puppy Queenie in their care was the best decision I made. They treated her like a member of their own family, going above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well-cared for. Their flexibility and warm welcome immediately eased any nerves I had about leaving her with strangers. Queenie not only loved spending time with them but also adored their fur children and their son. I couldn’t be happier with the love and attention they provided. I’ll definitely be choosing Rachel and Justin again in the future for their exceptional care and genuine love for dogs!”


“Antonio has been wonderful, he is really friendly and kind, he has been really caring and helpful with Romeo. He has been really accommodating with our time schedule and Romeo was super happy and exited after playing with Biscotti. We will recommend him and of course we will request his services again :)”


“Gil is nothing short of awesome! Truth is, I don't want to leave a really good review on here about him, because I want him to always be available when I need him! :) Gil really listened to everything I had to explain about ol' "persnickety" Jack, and was so attentive to those things. I know Jack was comfortable with Gil, by some of the pics I was sent during his stay. I will definitely be booking Gil again, as he is very much a dog person and very accommodating. I went with my gut on this one, and I am so glad I did!”

About: My family got their first dog while I was in high school and I have been caring for dogs ever since! I’ve cared for friends dogs in the past and now I have one of my own who is just the sweetest gal. I’d love to eventually get a second dog but for now caring for others seems like the perfect alternative. I do have a preference for smaller breeds but am open to bigger dogs as long as they can be gentle with smaller dogs. I am currently hybrid at a very flexible job and typically go into the office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. When I go into the office I go in later in the mornings and spend about 1.5 -2 hrs there. The max time I’ll spend at the office at one point is 3 hours but this is not the norm. Other than that time I spend the majority of my time at home and am able to give your pup all my attention and snuggles. My apartment building has a fenced in dog park where I can take your pup to for potty breaks and safe outside playtime. I also have a balcony with a grass patch for any early morning or late night potty breaks. Pet safety is my number one priority so when I’m not home both mine & your pup would be kept in different rooms with cameras watching them to make sure no one is in distress. I’m also open to doing meet and greets at my place before your pet’s stay with me so that you’ll be able to see what type of environment your pet would be in and how our pups interact with each other. My dog is a 1 year old dachshund who just loves other dogs and would make sure your dog feels right at home!

About: With nearly four years of dog-sitting experience, including caring for my own childhood pup, I understand the importance of trust and personalized attention when it comes to your pet. Working from home allows me the flexibility to offer care while you’re at work or enjoying time with friends. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some company during the day, I’ve got it covered! I’m experienced with senior dogs, ensuring they get the medications they need on time, as well as sticking to special diets when required. From puppy energy to senior snuggles, I treat each dog like they’re my own, providing the love and attention they deserve. Let me give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands! As someone who works from home most days, I have the flexibility to give your dog all the attention they need—including frequent bathroom breaks and daily walks along the beautiful Lady Bird Lake! Living close to the lake and surrounded by Austin’s many parks, I can ensure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time to run, play, and explore. Since I’m already walking by the lake every day, bringing a furry friend along just adds to the fun! Whether it’s a casual stroll or an energetic play session, your dog will have an adventure-filled day while you’re away. Let me make sure they enjoy Austin’s outdoor beauty to the fullest!! While I live in an apartment, I have plenty of space to comfortably crate your dog if needed, with options in the living room or entryway. Located near Lady Bird Lake and several parks in Austin, your dog will have ample opportunities to run around and enjoy the outdoors. I treat every dog with the same care and love as my own, and I’m committed to respecting your home too. You can trust me to leave your space exactly as I found it, ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for.

About: Having pets all my life, I now offer the joy of hosting your fur babies in my South Austin home with big, fenced in backyard with tall shade trees. Great streets for walking. Only host a few pets at a time. My little maltipoo, Daisy, loves doggie friends to visit and play! I'm home most of time & will give lots of love and attention to your fur babies. I send fun, candid photos thru the visit & give daily updates. Free Meet and Greets are welcome If allowed, I offer homemade, all natural treats too! I also do Drop Ins at your place for unique pets like a tortoise and raccoons...! I grew up on farms and the bayou and love all animals! I work from home and have plenty of time to cater to your pets. I walk poochies twice per day and let them play in my big, fenced in backyard. My schedule is very flexible. And I'm located with easy access to Hwy 71, 360 and Mopac for easy drop-offs. I have one small pooch, Daisy, who is a 13 lb Malti-poo. Very calm and loves new dog friends to play with! Happy to follow your feeding and walking directions. My neighborhood is great for walking doggies and I have a dog stroller if needed for pups challenged with walking but still wants to "go for a spin" outside of the house.

“Ashley is awesome and my dog is always so happy to see her!!”


“She takes care of my deaf and partially blind puppy--what more can I say?! He gets lots of walks with her and thrives on her one-on-one attention. I know it's a good day when he comes home tired, which is very hard to accomplish with him. :) I was worried about him being in an apartment, but they go outside so often, it really isn't an issue for him. Vivien is attentive, responsive, and extremely patient with my high energy (and sometimes high needs) puppy. Thanks Vivien!”


“I really enjoyed having Paco stay with Michele. She was very communicative and brought him on great walks- he even seemed bum to come home! Haha! Will definitely be using Michele anytime I need a sitter or daycare”


“Laura was a great communicator and took wonderful care of Lucy. Lots of pictures, time outside, and comfy cuddles and naps. So glad to have Laura nearby. I will definitely reach out again! 💕”


About: Hello I am a disabled veteran so I am blessed to say I don't have to work. I am doing this on the side for extra cash. I spend most of my time hiking my beautiful, mixed breed dog Naki who is 40 lb, submissive, mild tempered, and both dog and cat friendly. I hike Naki anywhere from 3 to 10 miles a day. I guarantee minimum 2 hours of dog walking per day and daily dog park visits for qualifying pets. I own a humane, no-shock, dog training collar; I am incredibly gifted when it comes to dog training. In my opinion the best dog trainers teach ownes how to train their dogs. I will happily train your dog a new trick, or refer you to a behavioral specialist for special cases. My rate is low because I am just getting started and I'm looking to build my client base. I have been a dog owner for 8 years. I am a disabled veteran and I don't work. I hike a minimum of 3 miles per day. I will only walk your dog for as long as you are comfortable with. I send a minimum of 4 pics and 1 vid per day, and will grant you access to my indoor security camera if boarding your dog. I believe in positive reinforcement. I do not believe in yelling or chastising dogs for bad behavior. Patience and consistency is key. I let my dog get on the furniture or jump up in bed, however I will strictly enforce a no bed or no furniture rule for your pet if need be. I maintain an active lifestyle and like to bring the dogs I'm caring for with me for more exercise.

Gabriel M.
“Gabriel has house sat for me on several occasions, and has also boarded my two huskies multiple times. Gabriel is very active and shares his live location with me whenever he is around the pups, so I could track his progress while he was walking my doggos. Granted I have not booked him thru his new Rover account, so there prob is GPS functionality built in I imagine,but regardless....be goes out of his way to send pics and vids, and whenever he boarded my babies he gave me access to his in home security camera so I could check in and see my dogs. He is truly the epitome of what you would call a dog lover. If you want your dog happyand tired, book Gabriel! He is always hiking and making other dogs happy with exercise!”


Leah R.

“The best and took care of Daisy like her own!! She went way above and beyond my expectations and my pup is so happy and cared for when I get home!! Highly recommend”
