Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in East Cesar Chavez, Austin, TX

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!

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.

“Lillian was fantastic! She had great communication and sent lots of photos during each visit, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was punctual and stayed for the full 30 minutes with Juniper, making sure she had all her potty breaks, food, water, and attention. Juniper was clearly comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Lillian again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“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!”

“I have never used rover before and was a little nervous with my new puppy but Arantxa was amazing! She went above and beyond and was so communicative and took amazing care of my baby! I’ll definitely be requesting her to help 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: Animals have always been a big part of my life. After 9+ years of caring for pets, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and attention are for helping them feel comfortable. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they get the playtime, care, and affection they need. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that works well for pet sitting. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite ways to take a break from studying, so walks, visits, and playtime easily fit into my day. I’m able to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and fresh air. I live right by the fenced dog park and the Lady Bird Lake boardwalk, which makes it easy to give dogs enriching walks and outdoor time. I also have a friendly medium-sized dog and a calm cat who are both very used to other animals, but I can keep them in separate spaces if your pet prefers their own environment. My goal is always to maintain your pet’s normal routine and make their stay stress-free and fun. I also provide care in your own home, keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment while making sure they get love, attention, and exercise. Unless you request not to, you can expect lots of pictures!

“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: Hello!! I absolutely LOVE being outdoors and soaking up fresh air—and I’d be thrilled to share that energy with your pups! I currently share my home with two cats and two dogs with my boyfriend, and growing up with a bulldog, cats, and big fluffy dogs taught me how much joy and fun pets bring to everyday life. I’m easy-going, flexible, and optimistic, and I genuinely treat every dog like part of my own fur family. I have experience with senior dogs, administering medications and treatments, potty routines, and most importantly… all the snuggles your pup could want! I’d love to meet you and your furry friend—please feel free to call or text with any questions. Can’t wait to make some new friends! Pet sitting fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home and live downtown, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to be very present for the pets I’m caring for. I’m typically up early and start my day around 8am, so morning potty breaks, feedings, or walks fit naturally into my routine. Since I also have a car, I’m able to easily check on pets throughout the day and travel to homes around the city or nearby neighborhoods. I love being outdoors and staying active—one of my favorite things to do is walk the trail around Lady Bird Lake, and having a furry companion for a midday or sunset walk would make it even better, especially for pups whose owners are working late. I’m naturally flexible, adaptable, and very tidy, so I’m comfortable adjusting to each pet’s routine while keeping your home clean and organized. Pet care blends seamlessly into my lifestyle, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy making part of my everyday week. 🐾 I cant wait to make new pet friends! I care for animals like they’re part of my own family. In my home, your bestie(s) will get plenty of playtime, walks, fresh air (if applicable), and snuggles, plus all their normal routines for meals, potty, and medications if need be. I live downtown and work from home, so I can give lots of attention and make sure every dog feels happy and loved. I also love to share treats and fun toys if that works within your comfortability. I will ensure your space stays tidy and give you updates with photos and messages, so you know your fur baby is safe, comfy, and having fun while you’re away. I grew up surrounded by animals—bulldogs, big fluffy dogs, big fluffy cats, senior animals too, even farm animals—and now share my life with two dogs and two cats with my boyfriend. I’ve cared for senior dogs, pets on medications, and high-energy pups, so no matter your dog’s/cat's age or needs, I can handle it with patience, love, and lots of love. I’m easy-going, flexible, and optimistic, and I truly love making animals feel special, as its equally fun for me!
