Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Downtown

About: I have been around pets my whole life, but I’ve been taking care of them on my own for about 2 years. I also have personal experience owning a dog, a cat and two guinea pigs. I have cared for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets that need extra attention. Every pet I have taken care of has always been in good hands I’m a college student in the AFROTC program at UT Austin. My weekdays can get pretty busy with classes, but Mondays and Fridays I’m mostly free. I also have some breaks between classes Tuesday through Thursday where I can stop by for pet care. Fridays and weekends are usually wide open, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need I don’t bring pets into my own home, but I make sure they’re comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep up with feeding and walks, give them playtime and attention, and make sure they feel safe while you’re away.

“So quick to respond when I had an issue with my litter robot and showing up last minute to help my kitties out. Definitely booking again and highly recommend to anyone needing help with their fur babies! Thank you Sanjana!”

About: I bring over a year and a half of professional experience working with cats, handling everything from daily care routines to administering a variety of medications and basic medical support. I also have six months of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to large breeds like Mastiffs, and am comfortable meeting the needs of pets with different personalities and care requirements. I work full-time at an animal shelter, so providing attentive, compassionate care for animals is part of my daily routine. My early morning schedule allows me to spend the second half of my day focusing on giving your pets plenty of attention, care, and love. I share my home with a kitty who means the absolute world to me. He’s the sweetest boy and is always waiting at the door for cuddles the moment I get home. I make sure to keep life fun and enriching for him every day, whether that’s a long play session, brushing (his favorite) or a special treat. Because of how much I care for my own pet and pets at work, I understand how important it is to give animals the love, attention, and patience they deserve, and I’m confident I can provide that same level of care for your pets.

“Brandy was great with my cat Rudy while I was abroad. She took care of all of his needs and was super handy and helped readjust his water fountain, food dispenser, and even my camera when he knocked them down. She’s been really fantastic, especially seeing as Rudy was a little skittish and shy at first, but she took the time to get him to be comfortable around her. Thanks Brandy for your help!”

About: I've always grown up around dogs since I had two family dogs and my mom does dog sitting as a side job. I helped her a lot in high school so I have a lot of experience with this work. I love dogs and would love to take care of yours! I'm currently a college student at UT, I don't have anything going on in the summer so I'm mostly free anytime. I have a lot of time on my hands so I'll make sure to take good care of your pets When I enter other people's homes for pet care work, I make sure to leave the area clean and tidy. Always make sure the doors are locked and the pets are safe

“Lillian was great! Very friendly, had no issues with communication or the cat care itself. She sent photos each check in and I had no worries during my travel.”

About: I’ve always been the go-to for my friends dog & Kittie watch so I want to extend my help and love. I have experience with APA dog walking, local neighbors dogs and drop in’s for kittens whose owners are out of town! I’m an athlete so can provide high energy care. I’m a young professional who is on PTO through the summer months. I will be working remote from home come August so is flexible to help your needs! I can spend as much as an hour with you early mornings and evenings. I have summer off remotely so I am available anytime! I’m an early riser so love a good sunrise walk. Happy to work around your schedule I have 2 cats of my own and have fostered through APA. I have a safe house with a small patio for sunshine and play

“Arantxa did awesome with shadow. Was nervous as it was my first time using rover and have a dog with anxiety but had zero issues! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely recommend”

“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 dogs as part of my family my entire life and currently have a 5-year-old Goldendoodle of my own, so daily walks, routines, and lots of love are second nature to me. Being a dog mom means I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Safety is always my top priority. Whether we’re out on a walk or I’m visiting your home, I’m attentive, aware of our surroundings, and committed to making sure your dog feels secure and comfortable at all times. I carefully follow instructions and keep routines consistent so your dog feels at ease. More than anything, I want your dog to feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home as a freelance Art Director, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and afternoon walks and drop in visits, and spending part of my day walking and caring for dogs is something I genuinely look forward to. I’m new to Austin and excited to explore different neighborhoods on walks with your pup while keeping them active and happy. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your dog and enter your home. I’m attentive about securing doors, gates, and leashes, and I’m always aware of our surroundings on walks. I follow your dog’s routine closely so they feel comfortable and at ease, and I treat your home with the same care and respect as my own.
