Cat Sitting Driftwood

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, rodents, reptiles, and other animals of all kinds. Growing up, my family had numerous animals over the years that I assisted in training and caregiving. I have two pups of my own that were both rescued and trained. I am familiar with dogs who are reactive or have behavior problems. I trained my dogs in basic commands, agility, and search and find. I treat all animals like they are my own, so please contact me if there is anything special about your pet that I should know! I am currently taking some time off from work, so I have plenty of free time to spend with your fur babies. I am always happy to provide extra pets and snuggles to those who love a little extra attention. If there are any specifics I need to know about you, your home, or fur baby, please let me know, and I will happily accommodate.

“Isabella and her mom were great! They were excellent communicators and went above and beyond for us. When our high energy Border Collie somehow locked the door from the garage into the house and we were miles away unable to provide a key, Isabella quickly solved the problem by going through the dog door without hesitation. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others!”

“Dominique did an awesome job. She answered my request quickly and took the job with one day notice. She saved me when I had an emergency. Totally recommend!”

About: I have grown up around animals and currently care for four cats, so pet care has always been a big part of my daily life! Over the years, I’ve also helped neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting, and volunteered with animal shelters, which have given me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and temperaments. I especially enjoy working with cats and have experience with all ages and backgrounds, including cats with specific medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable with administering oral and injectable medications, and I’m very attentive to routine, comfort, and stress levels, especially for anxious pets. In addition to cat care, I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Currently, I am most familiar with Labs and Doodles, but have experience walking dogs of different sizes (including puppies!) and breeds through pet sitting and helping neighbors, and I’m confident handling structured walks and daily care routines. I currently work part-time and am in college, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent communication and frequent updates while I’m with your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and prioritize their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. At this time, I am not boarding dogs in my home. For cat boarding, however, I provide a calm, indoor-focused environment where safety and supervision are always the priority.

“Carrie was great! She was flexible with our schedule when we had to make some late minutes changes and was patient with our puppy and a senior dog who get super excited when they meet guests. I would definitely book Carrie again!”

About: I’ve had experience dog sitting for my neighbors for several occasions for the past three years, basic potty breaks and feeding every morning, afternoon, and evening. I’ve also have experience with house sitting and yard care. Throughout my life I’ve had dogs of varying breeds, sizes, and temperaments, so I can adjust to whatever needs your pooch needs. I’m currently a commuting college student at Texas state, so I’m pretty used to driving distances during my day to day life. During the weekdays my classes start early morning and end around noon, so from 11am to 2pm onward I’m free for your pup(s)! For food and potty break drop ins I’ll let your pooch out/ feed them in the morning at 6:30 to 7:00 in the morning, then a second time around 11:00 to 2pm depending on the day of the week, and then a third time around 7:00 pm. For overnight stays I’ll let your pup out for a potty break and breakfast at 6:30 to 7:00am before I have to leave for classes, during the time I’m away your pet will be in the crate or free roaming depending on your crate policy. I’ll return around 11am to 2pm and let your dog out the crate and walk them. I can also do general cleaning and maintenance around the house.

About: I got my first cat when I was just 8 years old, gaining full responsibility of her at 10 years old. I am now 19 years old and have had the pleasure of taking care of hundreds of pets (mostly dogs)! For about 6 months I was a kennel technician for a kennel which generally had about 60+ dogs in it. I bonded so much with every dog, most breaks I would just go into a kennel of dog who might've been skittish and try to bond, they really liked that. At this job, I mostly cleaned kennels but also fed dogs/cats their specific food requests and documented it on sheets. On the other hand, I was a dog caretaker at a small business in Austin where I would take up to 7 well-behaved dogs (that's all my car could fit!) to a nearby trail and let them off leash to explore. At the commercial space, I monitored 15+ dogs playing, making sure no one got hurt (or somewhere they shouldn't be!). This job taught me the most about dogs and dog behavior. I'm currently living in Austin with a part time job I limit to Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. So, I prefer to reserve Mondays and Wednesdays for taking care of furry friends! This helps keeps my days organized. Currently, I have lots of availability for evening walks on Mondays and Wednesdays I love animals! I will give your pet lots of love and do as intstructed, whatever is needed! If you request that I give your pet a special treat, I will. I have learned behaviors of pets over the years that I have cared for them, every pet is different but I learn quickly! I will not be able to house your pet because I live in a dorm.

“We had such a great experience with Duncan! His communication with us was good and he was great with our pup, Scout, when he came to meet us and again when he took care of him at our home. We loved the pics and fun videos of our little guy!”

Laura R.

“I cannot say enough about Lauren and how great she is with our pets. We range from super friendly to shy and aggressive and she handled each with love and care and won everyone over. She took great care of them and cleaned up the occasional messes and left our house super clean. She cared for five dogs, three cats, and a duck across two houses and didn’t miss a beat. We will book her again in a heartbeat!”

Carissa S.

“She was so kind and patient with my old girl. Definitely recommend!”

Samantha K.

“Willow was fantastic! Both of my kitties immediately liked her and felt comfortable with her! That’s really all I can ask for but she also followed my feeding instructions to a T, and was very respectful of my space- even cleaned their food bowls for me before she left on her last visit! I will definitely be a repeat client 😄”

Sarah T.

“Rory was great with my two small pups, and they're the skittish type! She was real sweet wuth them, and jept me in the loop through out the visits. I'll definitely be using her again <3”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and am very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. My mom was an obedience trainer, so I’ve picked up helpful skills with basic training and handling, especially with younger or energetic dogs. I’m reliable with house sitting, responsible, and treat every pet like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to different animals’ needs and always prioritize keeping them safe, calm, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I can accommodate morning and evening check-ins, feeding, walks, and any other routines your pet needs. I’m able to plan my time around each booking to make sure your pet gets reliable and attentive care. I offer in-home pet care including check-ins, overnight stays, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. I focus on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible; feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of attention based on their personality and needs. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean and secure while you’re away. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home since I currently live with multiple dogs and want to ensure a calm and comfortable environment for all animals involved.

About: Time and love! Recently retired with nothing but time and excitement to care for others’ beloved pets, especially because I don’t currently have any of my own. I have a large, fenced in backyard in the quiet hill country. There is a lovely trail for taking walks, and I love to take the pups for rides in the car! I’m experienced in administering and staying on top of medications and treatments. My daughter has two dogs that she sometimes brings for visits. So, if your dog is social, there is an opportunity for playtime with fellow furry friends. Caring for your pets would be my one and only priority. I spend the majority of time at home, and exercise is very important to me so I hope your dog loves to walk! Safety and affection are priority. Keeping a close eye on your pet and always making sure all needs are met is a guarantee when you put them in my care!

“I completely dropped the ball today and didn’t answer my phone when Lilyanna was trying to get ahold of me. She was so patient and kind and even stayed a bit later with the pups. Absolutely wonderful person and we always appreciate her help!”

Ana R.

“Carla has such a kind spirit and our animals just ADORED her. She sent great photos every day that really put me at ease during our trip. When we got home our animals were relaxed and you could tell they were well loved while we were gone. Would highly recommend her!”

About: Ive been around cats and dogs for my whole life so I know what they need and don't need. I have experience with puppy's and senior dogs that need extra care. I am personally a cat lover but love all animals! Im currently working part-time and a full time student. During the Summer I have plenty of time to care for your pets, however, Winter and Spring may vary. While watching over your pets, I will feed, play, and walk them as needed. I want to build a strong friendship with your pets so that I can keep them happy while you’re gone.

“I highly recommend Lisa as a pet sitter!! She took great care of my cat and provided lots of updates and pictures. She also responded to messages very quickly and was a great communicator! Thanks again, Lisa!”

Sydney S.

“Annie is amazing!! She goes above and beyond loving my little Audrina. My dog is pretty nervous with people coming in while I'm not home and Annie does a great job at making her feel calm and safe. My schedule is never consistent and Annie is always super flexible with my bookings. She sends me thorough updates and photos while visiting and caring for my babe!”
