House Sitting Garrison Park

“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”

“Ana stayed with Mara overnight at my house and was such a great sitter. She provided thorough updates, asked thoughtful questions, and sent me lots of photos of my girl. I am so excited to have found such a trustworthy sitter!”

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.

“Rasika did a great job while watching my dog. I received a ton of updates with pictures. I was never once worried about the job she was doing. She also took care of my house and even took out the trash for me!”

“Teagan went above and beyond to keep us updated on how our precious dog was doing while we were gone. It’s always nerve wracking letting a stranger stay in your home and leaving your pet in their hands. Teagan left our house extremely tidy and sent several photo updates throughout our trip. We will definitely book her again!”

“Luna was absolutely wonderful! have two older animals (dog and cat) both whom have very detailed instructions for their routine throughout the day and Luna did not miss a beat. She house sat for me for several days and left my house in better condition than what I left it. Will definitely use her services again and can’t recommend her enough”

“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.”

Eric C.

“Carol was absolutely incredible! She was so kind, so sweet, so communicative—everything was so easy with her. Our dogs absolutely loved her and she went above and beyond with them, as well as taking care of our home while she stayed here. We will absolutely be using her again!”

Ryan M.

“Mia accepted a last minute 5 day stay after another rover sitter cancelled 30hrs before the start of our booking. She was so kind to make a meet and greet work same day. She took great care of Clyde, sent photos and was proactive and promptly responsive with her communication while we were gone, and left our house in great condition — washed our sheets, took out the trash, 0 dirty dishes. 10/10 recommend her for not only great dependable care but also being a lifesaver so last minute. Thank you, Mia!!!”

Kylie J.

“Rachel was great with my lil man. He is a snob sometimes or alot. She had him all situated shortly after meeting him at our meet and greet. Will be asking for help again for sure.”

“Michael always does a wonderful job watching our critters. He takes good care of our home and makes sure that our dogs and cat are well cared for when we are away. We are very happy and grateful for Michael's services.”

Shane L.

“Jena was great - she stayed with our older dog for 5 days in our home and had absolutely no issues. She sent photos and check-ins daily to let us know how things were going. The house was clean and tidy when we arrived home and Potato had been well cared for.”

“Bart stayed at our home to dog-sit our girls (Riley and Josie) while we were out of town. I was a bit nervous about leaving the girls with a sitter because I had a not so great experience with a previous Rover sitter, however, from our first meeting with Bart we felt really good about him watching our dogs in our home. Riley and Josie immediately took to Bart, he asked a lot of questions about their routine, he noticed the differences in their personalities and responded to them accordingly. We felt confident in choosing Bart to sit our girls. While we were away, Bart took our girls on early morning walks due to the high temperatures and even let us know that on one day he did not walk them because it was just too hot—we appreciated his judgment and concern for our dogs well being. Bart gave us updates and always responded quickly to our texts. Bart not only took good care of our dogs, he also took good care of our home! It was such a relief to come home to happy dogs and a tidy home. We will definitely use Bart again to take care of Riley and Josie!”

Stefanie C.

“Jacob was excellent with our puppy Remi. My husband and I haven’t had a night out in 6 months bc he cries whenever he is left alone and we just don’t have the heart. So thankful it all went over wonderfully with Jacob bc now we will have more nights out knowing Remi is happy and being treated so well and played with!”

Liz L.

“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!”

“🌟 **Outstanding Pet Sitter - Highly Recommended!** 🌟 I can't say enough good things about Elena! She has been an absolute gem in caring for my beloved Dubu. From the very first meeting, it was clear that she is not only highly professional but also incredibly caring and dedicated. Caring and Compassionate. Elena truly loves what she does, and it shows. She treats Dubu as if they were her own, providing endless attention to detail whether it is play time, walk time or nap time. Punctual and Reliable. Punctuality is crucial for a pet sitter, and Elena has never missed a beat. She always arrives on time and ensures that Dubu is well taken care of according to our agreed schedule. She has also gone above and beyond in staying longer on days when I was running late. Thank you thank you. Understanding and Attentive. Elena has an amazing ability to understand Dubu’s needs and moods. Whether it's an extra walk on a sunny day or some quiet time on a rainy one, she always knows what Dubu needs. Above and Beyond. What truly sets Elena apart is her dedication to Dubu’s health and well-being. Even outside of her scheduled time, she checks in to ensure everything is going well. This level of care and concern is rare and deeply appreciated. Having Elena in Dubu’s life this year has been a game-changer. She is a true pet lover and a remarkable professional. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable, loving, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Elena, for all that you do! 🐾💕”
