Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Downtown, Austin, TX

“I would definitely recommend Carol to care for anyone's pets. Mable loved her right when they met and she is a natural with dogs. She is prompt, responsible and I have already booked her again for a few other dates. Don't hesitate to book Carol, rest assured you will have no worries.”

“Sierra did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. We got lots of pictures of him playing and getting treats and pets. I will definitely be booking with Sierra again!”

Rachel N.

“Arantxa is simply wonderful -- a dog-whisperer, a great communicator (amazing photos of our dog Hank), and would highly recommend. Hank had a wonderful series of drop-ins with Arantxa over a day, complete with walks, back yard play time and cuddles. I was impressed and will definitely use her again.”

About: I have several years of experience caring for pets including walking them, feeding them, giving them their medication, and transporting them to appointments. I also have experience working with senior pets. My job has a very flexible schedule so I am typically available during the day to walk and care for your pets! I am also available weekends to watch your pets while you're out of town. I am a huge animal lover and have two dogs of my own at home. I understand your pet is an extension of your family, therefore, I strive to provide the best quality of care for each of my clients.

About: Me and pets…we just get each other, you know? I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, geckos, and more since I was a child. (Before I go on, both of my cats are currently staying with my parents — so I have plenty of room for your pet!) I’m close to my sister, and her senior pug, Lola, and new puppy, Ruby, are my sweet nieces — I’ve cared for them like they’re my own many times over the years. (I can’t wait to get my own dog someday!) I also love to foster all kinds of animals, from puppies to new cat moms and their 8 tiny kittens. In fact, I adopted my second cat, Dusty, after fostering and falling in love with her from APA three years ago. I adopted my senior cat, Minerva, almost 14 years ago from a Brooklyn shelter.  I’m a freelance writer and editor who works from home and loves to be outside, which is why Rover is perfect for me. Whether I’m taking your pup on a long walk (my favorite thing in the world) or cuddling up with your kitty at home, I’m excited to meet your furry best friend! I’m a freelance writer who works from home and sets my own schedule. I also don’t currently have pets in my home. So I have a lot of flexibility to visit your home, take your pet on walks, or host them in my home! My home is currently pet free and safe and ready to welcome your pet. They can even sleep in the bed if they feel like cuddling!

“Very courteous and professional sitter who truly cares for your animals! Flexible schedule and sends plenty of updates. I will definitely ask for her help again!”

“Zoe is awesome and very good with the updates! She spends quality time with Moe and lets me know everything that went down! I appreciate it so much!!!”

Laura M.

“Caroline was great with my golden retriever pup, even with all of her crazy puppy energy. She was great with communicating with me, letting me know how Ellie was doing while I was away, and sending me pictures!”

About: I have pets of my own so I understand just how important it is to find a pet-sitter you can trust with your loved ones. I am only working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! My work is very flexible so I can adapt to your needs. My house is a home to four cats and two dogs so I am very familiar with taking care of pets. I am a very patient and calm pet-parent.

“Lillian is the best! She’s super flexible, great with my girl, and is trustworthy! She’s always on time, and leaves Daisy happy and ready to nap! Highly recommend!”

Madison B.

“Amanda is a great communicator, keeping me updated each day. My cats didn't seem too excited to see me so I know she did a great job of keeping them well-fed and happy. Will use Amanda again!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I know how important it is to keep pets feeling safe, loved, and comfortable when their people are away. What sets me apart is my patient, reliable care and the extra attention I give to each animal’s personality and routine. I’m experienced with administering medications when needed, and I always treat every pet as if they were my own—because that’s the kind of care I’d want for mine. I work part-time in the evenings, I have plenty of free time during the day for pet care. This means I can give your cats and dogs lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles when they need it most. I’m available for morning check-ins, midday visits, and flexible scheduling to keep their routine consistent. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime or walks (for dogs), clean litter boxes (for cats), and lots of affection. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep things tidy so your home feels cared for too. Most importantly, I give your pets the love and attention they deserve so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

“Misha was very reliable, friendly, accommodated the special needs of my cats and myself, and was a great pet sitter!! I will definitely ask him to sit again!!!”

Heather M.

“I never had to worry about the kitties while we were on vacation. Nevaeh went above and beyond when one of the cats was being super sneaky and she was able to capture him on camera for us to ensure he was in the house (he's really good at hiding). We will definitely be booking with her for future trips!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of both pet behavior and care. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I having had dogs most of my life, I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and mental stimulation. Your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll thrive and be loved in your absence. I currently work from home, so I am immediately available to take them on walks, etc. I understand the importance of routine in our lives. I have quick access to lovely dog-friendly spaces downtown. I can accommodate your dog’s crate with ease. My lovely building is filled with great pets.

“Ramajana was fantastic! She was prompt, reliable, and took great care of my cats while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter—and I’d love to have her look after my kitties again in the future!”

Tushar P.

“Meghan was fabulous. My cat loved her.”

Aylah D.

“Valerie has been so wonderful with our dog! She is a rescue who can be timid around new people. Valerie has been accommodating and patient and now they are become fast friends! She has also been flexible and responsive to requests and schedule changes. This is our first Rover experience and we would recommend Valerie to any pet parent!”

Sarah C.

“Cassandra and Jason were great, very responsive and gave in depth check-in notes which was appreciated. I would definitely book them again and recommend to anybody!”

About: Growing up, I was always the person family and friends trusted to care for their pets while they were away. From daily walks and feeding to bath time and plenty of cuddles, I’ve spent years making sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy. I truly enjoy building connections with every animal I care for and can’t wait to give your pet the same attention and care I give my own. I do have a full time job but I am happy to make time for your fur babies during the week as well as weekends! In my own home, my dog is always by my side from the kitchen to on the couch watching movies together. I know every home has different rules and standards which I am happy to follow and ensure your pet is comfortable.
