“Sammy has now been doing drop in visits for my puppy for a few weeks now and has been fantastic with her every single time. She sends very good communication and pictures and always takes my pup out on walks and keeps her active while I can’t be at home with her. Sammy is fantastic!”


“Took great care of our pups! Very communicative during drop in and we felt comfortable trusting her with them and in our home. Will be rebooking again in the future.”


“I have had several dog sitters over the past couple of years. Kristen is by far the best. She and Turk get along great. She is definitely my go to person now.”


“I thought Joely was wonderful! She was attentive and playful! The kittens seem very happy! I would highly recommend her and would use her next time too! She was excellent!!”


About: Hi! I’m a local dog walker and pet sitter, this is what I currently do full time! I’ve always had animals in my life, to be frank I love them more than people. When I was 18 years old I became an au pair in DC area and took care of two children when the family adopted a puppy and it fell on me to potty train her and everything else. I loved her so much. And all the other dogs they had! In 2018 I came back to the same host family and once again they got a new puppy and it was my responsibility to take care of her (along with Clementine who remembered me from a few years back and wouldn’t leave my side). In 2020 I adopted my first baby - Mila Jane. She’s a pit boxer mix and over the years she became reactive but that doesn’t make me love her any less. I’m a very responsible dog mom with her and I know it’s my responsibility to make sure she’s never in a situation that could put her in danger of being taken away from me. Throughout the last few years I have fostered many dogs and cats, honestly I have no idea how many but I loved every one of them. I adopted Morty, a coonhound, and 3 cats - Luna, Sophie and Emmie. I also did some pet sitting along the way and more babysitting where most families have at least a dog or two. My whole life adult life I have been taking care of children and animals as my side jobs, sometimes full time jobs. I have experience with kittens, puppies, and older animals, including reactive dogs like Mila, or skittish kitties like my Emmie. During my fostering years I’ve seen it all. Some puppies were incredibly sick and almost died but all of them have recovered and are now with loving families. Currently, I work for a local Austin company as a dog walker and pet sitter. Unfortunately, as much as I would want to, I’m not able to stay overnight at your home because of my own babies. So my house sitting services (and rates) are only for daily visits- up to 3-4 visits a day ☺️☺️☺️ Im a full time dog walker and pet sitter. I walk dogs (or take care of cats) all day almost every day. I just have an app and a daily calendar to organize my walks. I split my days in morning walks/visits, afternoon, and evening - and I walk my dogs in between. I always make sure I close the doors behind me, I walk dogs on a leash. I know some people are okay with their dogs walking off leash but I feel like as a stranger to them I’d rather walk them on a leash (unless it’s a fully fenced backyard). With cats, I’d always make sure they have no chance of escaping through the front door. I’d always talk to the parents about their preferences and feelings.

About: My love for dogs started at an early age, first caring for my grandfather's dog and later becoming a proud dog mom to Dakota, a German Shepherd/Chow mix, and Zoe, a German Shepherd. Because my own Zoe is most comfortable at home when we’re away, I understand firsthand how important it is to have a loving, reliable caregiver you can trust. That’s why I treat every pup I care for as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to care for numerous dogs of all sizes, from tiny Pomeranians to giant breeds, and of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. My family and I were drawn to the Texas Hill Country for its outdoor way of life, and I’m in my happy place exploring the trails—especially with a furry friend or two by my side! While I’m not a dog trainer, I believe in using calm, reassuring energy to help every pup feel safe and happy. Whether your dog needs a fun adventure, a cozy check-in, or just a little extra love while you're away, I’d be honored to care for them! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because spending time with dogs is truly one of my favorite things! I’m available any day during the day, so whether it’s a morning walk, an afternoon belly rub session, or just a quick check-in, I’m happy to help. My flexible schedule lets me be there when your pup needs me most, and I love making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I care for pets in my client’s home, making sure they stay happy and comfortable in their own space. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, or a walk, I give them plenty of attention, love, and playtime. I follow your instructions to a T—feeding schedules, meds, favorite routines, whatever your pet needs to feel their best while you’re away. My goal is to keep tails wagging and pets feeling safe, loved, and well cared for!

“Kendall was great with our pups & helped us out on short notice. We’ll be in touch again!”


About: I ran my own successful pet care business in Brooklyn for 5 years, have worked for 2 vet clinics & a grooming salon & raised many furbabies. I'm available to petsit in a client's home anytime. I'd be with your pets when not at work, so they're not alone too much while you're away. I can stay over at a client's home any day of the week for up to 3 weeks. During a sit, I offer all day hang outs for lonesome pets on the weekends, and I'll stay in each evening.

“Lily did great taking care of my 3 dogs while I was out of town. She was very responsive & even sent me random pictures of my babies. I definitely would recommend Lily!”


About: I don’t just watch pets, I get to know them. I pay close attention to their personality and comfort levels whether this means extra playtime, sitting quietly for cuddles, or creating a calm environment while you’re away. I am detail oriented, communicative, and treat pets with the same love and patience I’d want for my own. My schedule is very flexible as I’m a college student home for the summer. I am someone who builds my schedule around my responsibilities, especially when it comes to caring for animals. I make sure pets get consistent, reliable attention whether it’s early morning visits, midday check ins, or evening playtime. I am very organized and keep routines on track to prioritize pets feeling safe and cared for. I focus on meeting each pet’s specific needs so to patience and positivity. I give them space to feel comfortable, follow feeding and medication directions exactly, and make sure they get the play, attention, or quiet time they need. I send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.

“She came when I asked and spent time playing with our dogs. Sent a lot of pictures. She was great!”


“Did a great job of communicating and taking care of our cat.”


“Faith is awesome and did a great job providing drop in visits for our large German Shepherd while we were gone for the weekend!! She’s super communicative and pays attention to details! Highly recommend!!”


“Great with my pup! Will definitely be using Meghan again!”


“We had Bella’s help for the first time and she was great with our 3 cats! Very trustworthy and dependable. She came perfectly on time and was very respectful of our home. We will use her help again :)”


“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: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including my own 15 lb pup. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or overnight care, I provide safe, loving, and attentive pet care so you can have peace of mind. I currently work a hybrid part-time schedule. I’m remote on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I have more flexibility those days. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I work in person for a full day, so my availability depends on when check-ins or walks are needed. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are fully open! When dog-sitting, I prioritize the pet’s comfort and routine. In the past, I’ve stayed with dogs for entire weekends, rarely leaving— even ordering food in for particularly anxious pups. I adjust walk and bathroom break schedules based on the dog’s needs and personality while always following the owner’s preferences. At the end of the day, you know your dog best, and I’m here to provide care that aligns with your expectations.

“Ashley was wonderful! She was very communicative throughout the 3 days she looked after my pups. She was punctual (my dogs know when it’s 5 0’clock ?) , thoughtful, and caring. I will certainly reach out to her next time I need someone to care for my dogs.”


About: I have experience in several different areas I worked in an emergency pet hospital, animal clinic, animal shelters and spay and neuter clinics. I also grew up with constant pets. I have experience as a veterinarian technician and kennel tech (3 years). I'm currently a stay at home mom to a homeschooler so my schedule is fairly open I can always move things around if needed as I don't have to stick to a certain schedule. I have a fenced area in my backyard so your fur baby can always have a safe space to use the bathroom. If I'm coming to your house to care for your fur baby just let me know what you need me to do and I'll make sure to take care of it. I will respect your home and belongings.


“Rebecca is so wonderful! She is very knowledgeable on how to interact with different breeds of dog so she was perfect for my shy and somewhat aggressive/antisocial chihuahua, Roxy. She was very patient with Roxy and used lots of positive reinforcement to get to know her. I already booked future visits with her! Will definitely recommend Rebecca!”
