About: Because your babies deserve more than just a place to stay, they deserve care that feels calm, consistent, and genuinely loving. 💕 ⠀ Hi, I’m Lisa! I’m a retired, lifelong dog and cat lover offering calm, loving, one‑on‑one care in a peaceful, low‑stress home. 🐾 ⠀ After recently saying goodbye to my own beloved dogs, I’m finally ready to open my heart and home again. I know how deeply our pets mean to us—they’re family—and I’ll care for your dog with the same love, attention, and tenderness I gave my own. They will never be left alone for long stretches. I tailor care to each dog’s routine, personality, and energy level so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I truly treat every dog like family. ⠀ 🗓️ A Typical Day With Me Every day is shaped around your dog’s needs. We usually start with a walk for fresh air, sniffing, and exploration. When weather and energy allow, I enjoy relaxed neighborhood walks or nearby Austin trails for a change of scenery and gentle enrichment. ⠀ ⠀ 🎾 Playtime & Relaxation Playtime is part of our daily routine—whether that’s backyard play like fetch or tug‑of‑war, followed by calm rest time to recharge. Everything is adjusted to your dog’s comfort, stamina, and preferences. ⠀ Throughout the day, I focus on routine, comfort, and safety so your dog feels secure, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine, and I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to truly prioritize the pets in my care. Because I’m available and home often, I can accommodate early mornings, midday walks or check‑ins, evening care, overnight stays, and custom routines. ⠀ I’m happy to accept last‑minute bookings when availability allows, as well as extended stays and holiday care. I also do my best to prioritize repeat clients whenever possible, since I love building long‑term relationships with pets and their families. If your pet has stayed with me before, I’m always happy to welcome them back—it helps me provide even more personalized, consistent care each time. 🏠 Safety, Trust & Environment I truly care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I stick closely to your pet’s routine and preferences so they can settle in easily and feel right at home. ⠀ In my home, pets are never just “watched”—they’re given attention, affection, and plenty of supervised time, including safe outdoor play in my fenced yard. I’m thoughtful about space and introductions, and my kitty prefers to relax on her own when dogs are visiting, which helps keep the environment calm and peaceful for everyone. ⠀ In clients’ homes, I care for pets with the same love and respect, following all instructions for meals, medications, walks, and daily routines. ⠀ 🦮 During dog walks, I focus on safety, comfort, and letting your dog enjoy their time at a pace that feels right for them. I also love sending updates and photos, so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away.
“Elizabeth was wonderful. She sent us pics and videos throughout the day! Ollie looked like he was enjoying himself and came home very tired. Elizabeth also communicates with us very well answering any questions I have etc. we have been very pleased with the care she gives our little Ollie.”

About: Hello! My name is Andrea. I've always had a love for animals. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds and various sizes. I've cared for the hyper little ones, the couch potatoes, momma dogs and their litters, deaf dogs, even dogs who have trouble with separation anxiety. I love keeping owners updated on their fur babies because I KNOW that extra peace of mind is important! So texts and pictures will definitely be sent out. I care for all dogs I sit as if they were my own which means lots of hugs, kisses and adventures outdoors. Your fur baby will definitely be showed lots of love while you are away. I can't wait to meet your pup!
“Becca was super accommodating for my literal last minute request! She took really good care of my dog, communicated really well, shared pictures and updates. I will 100% be coming back next time I’m in town!”

“Casandra took great care of Niko during my day trip out of Austin. When I picked up Niko, he was happy and tired! Casandra made sure Niko got along with her dog Cory by having a meet-and-greet beforehand. She also updated me with a lot of photos from the day. Would definitely drop Niko off with her and Cory again! Thanks, Casandra.”

“Zhian took excellent care of Leo! He got along well with the whole family and they were super attentive to his needs. She sent tons of pictures and updates during Leo’s first stay. Thank you for taking great care of my boy!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have cared for over five dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages with my family. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I understand how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs and personality. I love spending time playing, walking, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Whether it’s belly rubs, outdoor play, or quiet company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and happy! Besides dogs, I love all animals! I have had bunnies and birds before and know how to take care of them! I work remotely full-time, which which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout their stay. My daily routine is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, medication routines, and regular check-ins. I like to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Whether they need active play, quiet company, extra patience, or a calm space to relax, I do my best to adjust my day around their comfort and needs! I live in a spacious apartment that offers plenty of room for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well supervised! I got my two friendly American Shorthair cats at home, so I’m very mindful about introductions, boundaries, and each pet’s comfort level. I always take time to understand how each pet does around other animals! If a pet needs their own space, quiet time, or a slower introduction, I make sure they have a calm area where they can relax. I keep the environment clean, organized, and peaceful so every pet feels cared for during their stay!

I can’t recommend Paul and Karina highly enough! My dog, Marvel, is shy and can get quite anxious in new environments, but he was completely comfortable with them right from the start. They sent tons of photo updates, which gave me total peace of mind. Every time I picked him up, he was happy, content, and beautifully tired out. If you need someone trustworthy to look after your fur friends, Paul and Karina are the absolute best!

My senior pup Lexie stayed with Valerie and Juniper for daycare in advance of a longer boarding stay. Valerie was very attentive to Lexie’s nervousness and tried to make her as comfy as possible. I appreciate Valerie sending updates and photos throughout the day. Lexie will be back!

Alfie has a great time with Mariia. He's a shy dog but seemed to warm up to Mariia very quickly and it was only his second visit with her. He even gave her his paws, a huge sign of trust. Mariia was easy to communicate with, and kept me updated with regular updates. We will definitely be booking Mariia for Alfie again. :)
