House Sitting Garrison Park

“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”

“Tiffany was wonderful! She took great care of our pup, followed all instructions perfectly, and left our home spotless. We especially appreciated her flexibility and kindness when she stayed an extra day after our flight was canceled—truly above and beyond.”

“Katherine is amazing! She was so communicative and my pups absolutely loved her! She even had to deal with my doggy needing ear drops, which he does not love, and handled it amazingly. I'm so glad I found her!”

“I can't recommend Megan enough! She is reliable and went above and beyond to make sure that my dogs weren't only cared for, but also having a great time while I was gone. I always have a tough time finding a sitter because one of my dogs is aggressive towards other dogs and nervous when meeting new people. But from the first meet-and-greet, it was obvious that Megan was an animal lover and experienced with nervous dogs, so mine warmed up to her in no time! She sent regular updates with photos to let me know what they were doing, and when my trip was unexpectedly extended another day, she offered to stay longer which made my life a whole lot easier. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a sitter, and she'll be the first person I reach out to when I need another one in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets, homes, and property for friends and family. From dogs and cats to small rodents, animals have always been a big part of my life and my family. I started pet and house sitting at 19, and now, at 26, I’ve built years of trusted experience caring for pets with patience, attention, and reliability. As an active person, I love spending time outdoors with animals, whether that’s walking, playing, or just keeping them company and helping them stay comfortable in their routine. I also understand the importance of maintaining good control and awareness while handling pets of different sizes and personalities. I do have asthma, but it has never stopped me from being dependable, active, and fully attentive while caring for animals. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness always come first with me! Hi! I’m a South Austin pet sitter currently accepting drop-in visits and house sitting bookings. I love providing dependable, personalized care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Being local allows me to provide reliable care for nearby families while keeping up with your pet’s normal routine. I specialize in caring for cats and small dogs and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, meals, fresh water, playtime, enrichment, medication reminders, walks, or extra companionship, I’m happy to help! I prioritize communication and will always provide thoughtful updates, photos, and details so you can feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for. I’m currently flexible with my schedule and available for both drop-in visits and house sitting. Starting August 24th through December 10th, my availability will be focused on drop-in visits Friday–Monday due to my school schedule. While my weekday availability will be more limited during this time, I’ll continue providing consistent, attentive care and clear communication for every booking I accept. I also love becoming a familiar face for pets and their families, so repeat clients are always welcome! My goal is to make pet care easy and stress-free for you while giving your pets the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to become a trusted sitter for you and your pets in the South Austin area! When booking with me, you can expect reliable care, clear communication, and someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I make it a priority to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll provide updates, photos when requested, and make sure your pets receive attention, exercise, affection, and a clean environment while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with respect, care, and responsibility so you can feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands.

“Itzel house sat for our pup who wasn’t feeling well. She was super communicative and attentive the entire time. I feel grateful to have had her watching our dog during this stressful period.”

“Willow was amazing. She was very communicative and very loving and affectionate with both of the dogs. I have an older senior dog and she takes lots of care and patience with him and treat him seemingly as if he were her own, which is the best and most I can ask out of any Pet Sitter. I feel very comfortable with her being at my house and taking care of my child. I will definitely be using her as often as I can, when needing Pet Sitting.”

Catherine G.

“Woody was such a great sitter for our two old men pugs and all of their senior needs, including medications and needing help to get up for potty! They were so well cared for, and our home was as well. I highly recommend Woody for pet sitting, and will absolutely book again.”

“Deanna is amazing! She watched our 2 dogs over the weekend and cannot say enough great things about her communication, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond. We got several daily updates on how our dogs were doing with tons of pictures and videos. Our house looked 10x cleaner when we arrived back home than when we left it initially. She is awesome, we’ve already booked her for 2-3 more upcoming weekends we’ll be gone. Thank you Deanna!”

About: I have been blessed with many wonderful pets in my life, both big and small! I currently own a horse, Felix. Unfortunately, my dog Alfie passed at 17 years old in January. Although I am not quite ready for a new in home pet of my own, I'd love to help you with yours! I have owned both cats and dogs through my life from puppy/kitten stage to senior life. I have experience with watching dogs, cats, and horses. I have no problem administering medication and I'm comfortable with all ages, sizes, and breeds. 95% of my job is working from home, because of that I am quite flexible in my schedule. On occasion, I do travel for work/personal but will do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date. My home is pet free, which means your pup will get my full attention! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. I have a nice sized patio that is fully covered. The area has a lot of green space and sidewalks perfect for a long stroll. There is also a dog park available if your dog particularly enjoys being social. I allow dogs on my furniture and bed, however have no issue with sticking to the rules if that is not part of your daily routine.
