Cat Sitting Dessau

“Deevie is quite truly the best sitter I’ve ever had! She is SO communicative, sends the cutest photos and videos and left my house spotless. I am incredibly grateful for her and the immaculate care she showed my cats and house. I absolutely recommend her and will look forward to having her sit again in the future! ❤️”

“Stephanie is amazing, as always. We get a lot of pictures of the cats during her visits. We feel very confident that the cats are being well taken care of every time.”

Corry S.

“Terrific as always! (And I'm so sorry for forgetting to do this until now). I always love getting updates from Jessica, and I always come back to a clean home and a happy kitty.”

“Debra is fantastic! I was a bit nervous about leaving for a few days, but she made me feel confident that Luna was safe and well cared for. I received plenty of pictures, and Debra even made sure to turn on the TV for Luna so she would have her mice videos on 😄. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Kenna took great care of our two kitties during the drop in visits while we were away over Thanksgiving! She was super nice and came to meet my cats before we left since they're a little hesitant of new people but they both loved her by the last day! Kenna was always on time feeding them and made sure i had pictures of both cats when she left! We'd definitely love to book with her again! Thanks Kenna!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I have years of experience with both dogs and cats. I have also been a professional dog sitter in the past. I understand the need for a reliable and trustworthy person who can fill in the gaps for our pets when our lives get in the way. I just moved to the Austin area and would be able to drop in for check ins, walks, and feeding time during the week and the weekends. My schedule is flexible. Currently living in an apartment, unfortunately unable to board pets at this time. Boarding may be possible in the future, but I am currently looking to make house calls.

“Dee Dee is the best! We feel so much at peace leaving our cats home because she takes fantastic care of them. Will keep booking her as long as she lets us! :)”

About: Hi everyone! My name is Araceli (she/her) and I'm the Pawsome Cat Nanny in Atx + Doggycare. I love gardening🪴, meeting new people, anime, trying new foods🍣🍜🧋 and anything crafty. My furbabies are Nyssa and Scrappy. They are my world💜🐈! I moved to Austin about five years ago and I was recommended to pick up a hobby that I love so here I am. I love 🐈 and 🐕 and I wish I could adopt a bunch but I think pet sitting will do... for now. I did work for a vet for a couple of months and know a bit of medical information. Most of my experience with pets has been at home and cat sitting. I am usually available on holidays and I offer overnight visits. I have lots of toys, treats, and lots of love! I look forward to meeting y'all! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding my availability. I'm only working part time at the moment, along with cat sitting. I do live in a house that has a decent-sized gated backyard. I do have two pretty friendly cats but can be in separate rooms if preferred.

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 grew up on a ranch and have been caring for animals since I was about 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, pigs, horses, cows, chickens, and even the occasional turkey. Dogs have always been a particularly big part of my life. My grandmother showed dogs competitively, and I spent years helping her care for and prepare them for dog shows. Because of that, I have extensive experience with bathing, grooming, walking, basic training, feeding, and general day-to-day dog care. I’m very comfortable working with animals of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up around so many animals taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to their individual needs are. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, some extra attention, or just someone dependable to keep them company, they’ll be cared for like one of my own. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible during both the week and weekends. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays in your home. During the week, I can stay at your house or apartment while caring for your pet as long as I have access to Wi-Fi so I can work remotely. On weekends, my schedule is completely open, so I can spend plenty of time keeping your pet company and following their normal routine. I’m very comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping pets on their normal routine. I currently care for three cats, and each of them has their own feeding schedule, preferences, and daily routine, so I understand how important consistency can be. When caring for your dog in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, playtime, and any other specific needs they may have. I also make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety concerns are checked carefully so your dog stays safe and comfortable while you’re away.

About: As a military veteran and a healthcare worker, I bring dependability, responsibility, patience, and compassion. Whether it’s giving meds, keeping a routine, or just making pets feel safe while you’re away, I treat every animal like they’re family because they ARE! I’m a full-time student in a hands-on healthcare program, but my schedule allows flexibility outside of class hours. Evenings and weekends are open and would be more than doable to be able to watch your fur-baby while studying! In your home, I’ll follow your routines and rules exactly- feeding schedules, litter cleaning, walks, playtime, medication, you name it. They’ll be as cozy and comfy and taken care of as they can until you return home!

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely pay attention to each pet as an individual. I know every animal has their own personality, routine, boundaries, energy level, and way of communicating, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and safe. I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs and cats, including a Labrador mix and an XL American Bully, so I’m comfortable around both smaller pets and large, strong dogs. I understand that bigger dogs can require extra awareness, patience, confidence, and consistency, especially during walks and high-energy moments. I’m attentive to routines such as feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, basic commands, medication instructions provided by owners, and keeping the home and pet areas clean. I’m also very observant of changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or mood and will communicate with you if I notice something unusual. Most importantly, I treat pets with patience and respect rather than expecting every animal to immediately trust me. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, cuddly, or needs a little extra time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for and loved. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet plenty of time and attention. I can plan my day around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and any routines your pet is already comfortable with. I understand how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away, so I do my best to follow their normal schedule rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on your pet’s needs. 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, enrichment, and any other specific needs your pet may have. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality and body language. Some pets want lots of attention and playtime, while others feel safest having their own space, and I respect both. I never force interaction and allow shy or nervous pets time to become comfortable with me. I treat every client’s home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I make sure doors, gates, crates, and other designated areas are secure, keep pet areas clean, and double-check that your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. 🐾

“Anysa was amazing! She was prompt and very communicative. She sent photos of cuddling with the cats and clearly demonstrated that she was patient enough to earn their trust! We will definitely book again.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner for most of my life. I previously owned a Pekingese puppy in my early 20s, but cats have always been a big part of my life. I currently have an orange tabby who came to me at just 3 weeks old and is now a healthy, strong 17-year-old senior cat. Having cared for him through every stage of his life, I understand the patience, attention, and extra care that young and senior pets can need. I believe pets deserve more than just the basics—I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart is the personal experience and genuine love I bring to every pet I care for. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs and treat them with the same kindness and attention I would want for my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of time and attention. I’m available for drop-in visits during the week and can stop by at different times depending on your pet’s needs and routine. I’m off work at 3 PM Monday through Thursday and at 2 PM on Fridays, with my weekends completely free. I’m available all day on weekends and have flexibility during the week for drop-in visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule, whether they need a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, walking, litter box care, medication reminders, or simply some extra love and companionship while you’re away. I care for every pet according to their owner’s specific instructions, routines, and preferences. I understand that pets are most comfortable when their normal routine is maintained, so I make sure to follow feeding schedules, walking guidelines, medications, litter box care, playtime, and any other instructions provided. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m mindful of keeping doors secure, maintaining a clean environment, and making sure pets are safe and comfortable throughout each visit. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, trustworthy hands while you’re away.

“Oh goodness Annabelle was terrific!! She kept us updated on Chai several times a day. She left the house in better condition than when she got here. She is officially our go-to house sitter!”

About: I am licensed veterinary technician and have worked at the same vet clinic for over 20 years. Have the awareness to see things that could be health concerns all while loving and caring for all age groups and species (except arachnids:/) North Austin/pville/RR/gtown I have a full time job at a veterinary clinic but have a couple breaks in the hours that allow for me to let pets out etc. Mornings and evenings and weekends would be primary times I would be able to spend long trips. Making sure fences are secure, collars are adjusted as to not slip leashes etc. Ensuring doors are closed so no escape by any pets that may feel adventurous. Plus any put in place by the customer

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my extensive experience and specialized skills in canine care. I have a lot of experience when it comes to caring for dogs as well as training them, ensuring they learn basic commands and develop good behaviors from an early age. I worked with Dogtopia for two years as a canine coach, & in my pre-teen & teen years I did dog shows / competitions with my grandmother. Additionally, I have a compassionate approach to senior dog care, understanding their unique needs and providing gentle and attentive support. I am also proficient in administering medication, whether it's daily supplements or more complex medical treatments, ensuring your pet's health regimen is maintained accurately and safely. My dedication to personalized care and attention to each dog's specific needs ensures they receive the best possible care while you're away. I ensure that every pet in my care receives the attention, exercise, and love they need to thrive. My routine is flexible to accommodate each dog's unique requirements, ensuring a seamless and enriching experience for your furry friend. All pets are treated like royalty when it comes to me. If the best is within reach, it’s surely theirs to have. I send a plethora of updates with the most purrfect photos throughout the duration of my time spent with your babies to ensure their safety and overall happiness so that you can continue on with your day knowing your pups are happy and in safe hands! All pets under my care receive top notch love and affection, and are always given positive affirmations and treats (if given permission/isn’t against any dietary restrictions). Play time is a big part of their day, working out all the energy, zig zagging all the zoomies out so you can rest peacefully with your furry friend!

“Audrey was very attentive to Jake’s needs & made us feel very comfortable and at ease with leaving Jake at home over the weekend. In-home visits twice per day are a much better option than boarding for our senior cat. Thank you so much, Audrey.”
