“Amy is just wonderful, I never worry about my 2 doxies when in her care. She's a great communicator and sends pics as well for updates. I've used her for some time now and will continue!”

“Best sitter ever!! I HATE leaving my dog but the minute I met Caelea I knew she would be in good hands. She had soo much fun running around, playing with another dog, and meeting the other animals. Caelea was communicative and very clearly loves animals. I will definitely use her again and probably will send my doggo over for a day occasionally just because she had soooo much fun.”

“Jennifer took amazing care of my dogs while I was away. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures of them. Would have her watch them again and I definitely recommend her.”


About: ’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. From working in an animal shelter to fostering dogs and helping care for newborn puppies, animals have always been a big part of my life. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior pets, sick animals, rescues, and pets that need medication or extra attention. I know how important it is to have someone patient, dependable, and loving caring for your pets while you’re away, and I take that responsibility seriously. Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and I’ll always care for yours like they’re part of my own family. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m able to provide consistent companionship, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and attentive care based on each pet’s individual needs. We have a fenced in yard with lots of room for dogs to safely run and play. Our home backs up to little league fields, so there can occasionally be some noise and activity, but it also creates a fun, lively environment that many dogs enjoy. In our home, pets are family. Our dogs are spoiled with love, cuddles, couch time, and plenty of attention, and I’ll treat your pets with that same level of care and affection while they’re with me. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll always do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I know how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with both your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously.
About: Howdy yall! My name is Brett and I live in Smithville (78957), just east of Austin. My house has a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and is great for extended stays. I’ve raised many breeds of dog, including helping the birthing process! Must be friendly with other dogs, as I have dogs who get along great with all manner of beasts. I work from home and literally have no social life in this small town. Point is, I am a home body that is always working on my home and sanctuary. Dogs here get constant attention, treats, and lots of yard time. I love taking long walks in the neighborhood with the dogs and it’s a great area for it! There are several areas for dogs to sleep and make themselves at home. Each room has a dog bed and the living room couch is owned by the dogs. I am currently kenneling one dog who has a leg injury, so I’m patient with pups and know how to administer medications.
About: I had horses growing up, would have litters of cats and dogs every once in awhile, love taking care of animals! When my dad was in the hospital I took care of his dog and walked bathed her and took her to the park! Also threw out the years would feed my neighbors dogs and cats while they were out of town. Stayed at my Aunt and uncle’s house to dog sit their dog Bailey. I quit my job recently was not happy, been wanting to work with animals for a very long time. I am free to come stay and hang with your pets and walk and feed or bring them to my house! I have a yard and pet friendly home, my dog Rufus loves over animals and wont have a problem. He has alot of toys to share too!
