Melondy was great! We booked this trip over a month ago and it unfortunately landed during the weekend of the winter storm and she was still very understanding. Our two gremlins were super happy when we returned and had a great time.

Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.

Matt did the preview to ensure we had a good match and was on time and ready for my two dogs. Everything went smoothly and the dogs were happy to let me know it was a good sit!

I was a bit worried as I have had a previous bad expirence with a sitter ,who a friend said was good When Willow and I met Tamara we both like her instantly. After talking a bit about Willows care she brought in her "in Training" Service Dog Smokey. I never worried while I was gone. When I got home I could tell that Willow had a great weekend. I will definitely use her again. She is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to pass on her information.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated dog lover with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I will be starting a part-time job on June 7th, but for now since I’m currently not working, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting—perfect for pets who do best staying in their own home and routine. I have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, energy levels, and daily care needs. I’m the kind of person who talks to dogs like they fully understand me (because… they do, right?), and I never say no to a good game of fetch or a cuddle session. Whether your pup is high-energy, a little shy, or somewhere in between, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed and always follow care instructions closely—details matter! I focus on caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable. I’ll keep you updated with photos (probably too many, but no one’s ever complained) and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. While I am watching your fur family my babies will still be getting their needed attention from my boyfriend. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets—and yes, I will absolutely learn all their nicknames. I have tree big dogs myself, of various ages. My Boo Boo is getting old and I have Jerry who still is full of energy. While Stella has spurts of energy some days and other days she'd rather just snuggle. I am very cognoscente of what's around me when walking dogs. I am comfortable crating your baby and sleeping with them if needed & medicine.

We cannot recommend Woody enough! We’ve never felt fully comfortable leaving town and having someone stay overnight with our dogs—until Woody. From the start, they were kind, communicative, and clearly loved our pups as much as we do. Our dogs adored them so much that I think they were actually a little sad when we got home! 😂 Woody went above and beyond, especially when the dogs decided to have a little adventure in the muddy backyard. They handled cleanup and care of our home perfectly—everything was spotless when we returned. Truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be booking with Woody again!

Maya was great! She came early to meet with Ryder before we left on our trip. She communicated very well throughout the weekend and followed all the instructions on routine, meds, and play time. I was nervous because Ryder was on new medicines with a lot of side effects and wasn’t as friendly as normal but she handled it with grace. We got loads of cute photos which gave me a lot of comfort. I will certainly use her again and recommend her to others.

Jeremy is absolutely wonderful, not just as a house- and dog-sitter, he’s just an all-around kind, cool, laid-back guy. He has a wonderful, calm, energy that our animals gravitated to immediately, even our one skittish rescue pup that was abused before we got her and usually doesn’t like men. He took excellent care of our dogs and house, sent us pictures and updates every day, and we could tell that they were happy with him, as they slept on the bed he stayed in with him every night. We are so glad to have found him and would like to book him again in the future. ♥️

About: Hi, my name is Sam! With a lifelong passion for animal care, I have cared for many foster and rescue dogs, including my 10-year-old terrier mix, the Dude, whom I adopted at age 1, and my 16-year-old min pin, GIR, who crossed the rainbow bridge in 2023. My dedication to animals drives me to provide reliable and loving care for your pets. Throughout my adult life, I've had the pleasure of caring for many rescue and foster dogs, a snake, a rat, a hamster, and 5 ferrets. I've volunteered at my local animal shelter, socializing dogs and working with adoption outreach programs. I worked as a kennel tech at West Alabama Animal Clinic in Houston, caring for boarded dogs and cats. I worked to keep the animals safe and in a clean environment while also helping the vet techs with sick animals. I've volunteered at the Austin Wildlife Center, caring for small mammals like opossums and squirrels, as well as injured birds that came through the intake center. Needless to say, I love animals. And I'll show that much care and more with your pups when they're in my care. I'm currently working 32 hours per week, but I'm available 6 am - 9 am and after 6 pm Tuesday - Friday. I have flexible hours Saturday-Monday to spend more time with your pups! I have a fully fenced yard and one small friendly dog to hang out with your pups, if that's allowed. If not, I also have a large soft crate to keep them separated.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe (depending on their size), play with their fur babies. I have a relaxed environment for and am working from home so I have lots of time to take care of your pets. I'm available for boarding on weekends. I live in a house with a fenced deck and have pet friendly neighbors. I will make sure your fur baby is comfortable and that they always have food, water, snacks and favorite toys. I can also take your pet to the fenced private dog area in my neighborhood.

About: I’ve been walking dogs and Pet Sitting in Austin for the past year and I’ve gained a great amount of experience with a wide range of pets and their care takers. I love making new furry friends! I am a first grade teacher during the school year but I walk and pet sit during my breaks and weekends. I’m on summer break currently and have ample amounts of free time. I care for pets in my home and others home as if they were my own pets. I give them the utmost care, attention, kindness and love as I would if they were my fur baby and a friend.

5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Outstanding Dog Walker and House Sitter! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Lori! She recently took care of my 9-year-old dog, Khaleesi, and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve had with a dog walker. From the very beginning, Lori was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive to Khaleesi’s needs. It’s clear she has a natural connection with animals and genuinely loves what she does. She sent regular updates, adorable photos, and detailed notes after each visit, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, Khaleesi was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. I honestly think she misses Lori already! It’s rare to find someone who treats your dog like their own, but Lori did exactly that. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and experienced to care for your furry family member, look no further. Lori is an absolute gem, and Khaleesi and I are so grateful to have found her!
