Maya was very kind and communicative! She took great care of our two dogs and cat, one of which takes meds daily. Everything and everyone were well cared for. Thanks Maya!

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.

Kirby had an amazing day with my six week old puppy! She was very accommodating to his needs and made sure he ate and had potty breaks. We returned to a happy, well rested puppy! Thank you, also loved the pics!

Christine has been a great sitter for my two dogs- one who can be very slow to trust sitters and she always keeps me informed with pictures and dogs are happy!

We’re new to town, and it’s always a little nerve-racking finding someone new to watch your baby. I’m so grateful we found Woody to watch our dog Woody (meant to be, right!?) in our home. I’m a pretty nervous pet parent, but Woody made me feel totally at ease from the start and took such great care of our boy. The updates and photos were perfect, and I knew both Woody and our home were in great hands. Highly recommend, and we look forward to booking with Woody again!

Tamara has been grooming our Emma Rose for over 10yrs now, and Roscoe’s whole 5 yrs! They just love seeing her come through the door. It makes my fur mommy heart so happy, to not have to worry about them, when we are traveling. Thanks so much Tamara!

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: 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.

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.

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!
