“Julia was the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She was so communicative and spent extra time with my kitties. I have an elder cat and she did an amazing job administering her meds. Will definitely be hiring her again. 10/10 recommend for other cat parents!”

“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!”

“Great sitter! She took wonderful care of Willow, attended to all her needs, and was super responsive throughout. I felt very comfortable leaving Willow with her and would definitely book again :)”


“Rickey was attentive and great with my dog! He was communicative, asked any questions he needed if something wasn’t clear, and Bobbi Jo was well cared for when we got back!”


About: Since I was a child I have taken care of 2-3 dogs in one home and multiple cats with my family. All different types of dogs, fostering and rescuing animals when we could. Love to maintain healthy and clean animals so that they can live their best lives and feel loved! I am currently a fire fighter and looking for a side job. I am off for few days out of the week and want to be active and be around animals. I am currently taking care of my cats indoor to protect them from this heat. Often getting fresh water and have family dogs that like to go outside but stay cool so I often have little dog pools set up! I am okay with taking them outside or keeping them inside for some safe fun!
“Sofia is great! Miso is a shy guy but he comes out to say hi to Sofia when she visits. She is super communicative and sends great updates. Miso is a troublemaker and sometimes messes with his feeder and Sofia is great about clean up and straightening things!”

“Isabella was very kind and dependable. She took the time to get to know our pup and her routines. She sent us lots of happy pictures and really made us feel like our house and doggo was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking her again the next time we have a need.”

“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”

“It was our first time booking a pet sitting service so we were nervous. But Danielle took SUCH great care of our pets and they warmed up to her pretty quickly. We'll definitely book her again the next time we're out of town.”

“Zoe was very responsible and took such good care of our 2 cats. she responded quickly after every message and made everything super easy for us. we definitely recommend Zoe for any pet sitting needs:)”


About: I’ve been around all kinds of animals my entire life, but growing up always had at least 5 dogs and cats in the house! Ive house sat for families with multiple animals, animals with special behavioral and health needs, and puppies and kittens. I love doing all the silly little things for other peoples fur babies because I am the same way with my mine! I’m have also been a foster care provider for Austin Animal Services and have absolutely loved getting to spoil the shelter dogs and help get them adopted into fantastic homes. Through this experience I’ve learned a lot about dog behavior and how to make even the shyest dogs comfortable and happy. I’m a senior at UT and have a super flexible schedule in the summer and classes 2 days out of the week during the year so I’d love to help out with your furry friends! I’m currently just taking one summer class for the next month so my schedule is flexible. I also have my own foster dog currently, but usually my apartment is pet-free so I love getting to hang with other people's dogs and kitties! I am an early riser so for dog walking, I try to do client walks early in the morning, or later in the evening in the summer when it is so hot🥵. If daytime visits work better for you and your dog I’m happy to play with them inside or just take them out for short potty breaks in this heat. For dog/cat sitting I am open to staying overnight and providing house sitting services if needed! If you just want drop in visits while you’re away, I can drop by up to three times per day to feed, water, and love on your pets. I do prefer that housesitting, drop in, and dog walking clients live within 20ish minutes of UT campus area so that I’m able to give your babies as much time as they deserve!
“Addison was awesome! She had great communication, friendly, and sent lots of pictures and videos of Joji having a blast so I had no worries. Joji loved her and I would definitely recommend Addison to anyone looking to book with her!”

“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!”

Ramajana is amazing! She clearly has a lot of experience, and she took great care of my very shy cat while I was out of town for a week. She sent detailed updates and plenty of photos, and it was such a relief to know my cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend Ramajana to anyone looking for a cat-sitter!

Another stellar pet sitting experience with Lauren! Lauren gave excellent updates, was proactive with sharing details about their schedule, and sent lots of great candid photos of our pets. Our dog and cat received excellent care. We arrived to them both happy and not stressed, and it was clear they had plenty of playtime and attention while we were gone.

I couldn’t recommend Elise enough. I was last minute looking for a sitter before my trip and she made me very comfortable with having her come in my home and look after my two dogs. One of my dogs even had an accident and she cleaned it up which I can’t thank her enough for. She sent so many update pictures and my dogs were very happy. Will definitely be booking again.
