“Great communication and response time. My dog can be picky about being away from me but seemed to have a great time. Would definitely come back for further services!”
“I think this was Abby's 5th time with Savannah and Gabriel. They are great with her. Abby is a handful as she is only 8 months old and still doing typical puppy things. I like that S and G meet me outside their apt building, so I just hand Abby over to them. They take up her bag of food and toys, and her crate and framed puppy pad, so I can be on my way. Same when I come to pick Abby up. They have one dog, also a shih tzu. I like that they do have a playmate for Abby and also that they just have one dog and she's a small one like Abby. As I've said before, their apartment is immaculate and very nice and so is their dog. So I know that Abby won't be finding stuff on their floor to chew up and swallow. (She's still in that phase.) They also have pee pads, a playpen, nice beds, etc. S and G always keep me informed with photos while I'm away. I'm so glad I found them.”
“Lily is amazing!!! I was a little nervous to have someone care for my senior dog at first. But Lily was so so sweet and even sent me updates/ pictures. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was so friendly!”
“Gail was very communicative and loving with Bruno. She encouraged his energy and playfulness - I felt like she truly loved him like her own pup!”
“Aine was a great sitter for Axl and her dog Fionn became besties with our dog :). We got lots of updates and pics all along. Our dog came back looking happy and healthy! Would highly recommend Aine!”
“Anna is wonderful! She took great care of our pet, took him around town and always kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Arthur and Tamara were amazing dog sitters for our Millie! We received daily pictures and, when our flight was cancelled, they happily watched our pup for 3 extra days! They are amazing!”
“Awesome experience with Tyler. My dog Oso is an energetic little handful, and Tyler was able to keep him entertained. Tyler was attentive, as he only watches one dog at a time. He sent pictures often and updated me on Oso and all the fun times they were having. Oso didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick him up! Ha I would 10/10 recommend Tyler for dog sitting. Particularly if your dog needs more hands on attention. Will hire him again for watching Oso!”
“Brett was so kind and has an amazing place to watch your furry little ones. He sent me daily updates and pics of Zelda which was very comforting. If you live in Austin, especially south, absolutely give Brett an opportunity to take care of your doggo.”
“Margaret was great! From the second I pulled up with my dog (Rosie), she was very welcoming and made Rosie feel right at home. My dog can be a little nervous at first but Margaret is clearly a dog person and immediately connected with her. I received regularly photos and videos and could tell my pup was having a great time and not missing me at all. Will definitely leave my Rosie with Margaret in the future!”
“Bonnie was great! She was super kind and I could tell my pup was well taken care of. My dog reportedly barked more than the norm, and Bonnie was very patient and understanding! Thank you!”
“Elijah was amazing! He took excellent care of my pups, ensuring their special diet and medication needs were met. When I picked them up, they were happy and looked fantastic. Thank you again for taking such great care of them!”
“Jean-Paul and Andrea did such a great job watching Tilly. They are very good at reading dog behavior and sent me so many pictures! I will be booking with them again in a few weeks! Highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I am Kate. I have been taking care of dogs and lots of critters since I was in middle school. We have 2 pups of our own, including a goofy Chocolate Lab and a rescue girly who is partially deaf. We also regularly foster with AAC. Along with being a huge dog lover, I am an accomplished equestrian - I truly love all animals big and small! I am very active and love to take pups on long walks, hikes and lots of outdoor playtime! I work from home, so your babies will have constant love and attention. My husband and I live in a beautiful home in South Austin with a large yard perfect for zoomies and ball throw! I am available to dog walk, drop in for visits or host dogs overnight. I am skilled at administering meds and also working with special needs animals - since I have fostered, I have seen it all! I can't wait to meet your babies and look forward to working with you! I work from home and make my own schedule, so your pups will never be alone for long. I am able to work/be flexible with whatever your pups need. My dogs are my babies, and any pets staying in my home will be treated like family. I am very diligent of safety when dog walking, and in my own home I have a fenced yard that we keep locked. We have pups of our own so our home is already dog proof.
“Ivette was awesome! She sent so many pics and updates throughout the day. My pup has medication he needs 2x a day and she was so on top of it! Only downside is that she’s so great she’s booked up a lot🤪. Hope we’re able to use her again!”
“Cassandra and Jason were amazing! They clearly made Kylo feel right at home while i was away on a trip where i didn’t have wifi. They sent lots of pics and updates and were so great about keeping him on his medication schedule. Will be booking again!”
“Marissa was great! Tito had a great time playing with her other dog and in her backyard, she’s a quick responder, and she sent picture updates of my dog the whole weekend.”
“Sossi and her family were great with my dogs. They kept me informed every day about them and sent mi pictures and videos. We will definitely use their services again”
“Katherine is amazing!! She made me feel at ease immediately and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. I originally booked someone else and last minute decided I felt uneasy. Katherine saved the day! Great communication! Will be leaving my pup with her again in the future”
“Our first experience with river and it was a positive one. Thank you Megan for the quick communication, pictures, and videos. If we were not moving we would use you again.”
