“Sinthiana was such a great sitter for our dog she was super sweet and showed us around to where he would be and even kept us updated with pictures which helped us feel better knowing he was having fun with her and the other pups he came back so happy! definitely recommend her when visiting here”

“My dog, Bailey, can be aggressive to new people. Jeff was kind and Bailey warmed up to him in seconds. She seemed happy when I picked her up. I also appreciated Jeff's flexibility in the start and end times.”

“Timmy had a great time with Valerie. She took excellent care of him and while he was there, she sent pictures of all the fun he was having at her home. He’s happily exhausted now and really enjoyed his stay. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup. ♥️”

About: This is a joint effort with my girlfriend Elisa, who predominantly will be sitting the animals since she is full time work from home. As a pet parent, we know how stressful it can feel leaving your pets behind. That’s why we focus on creating a safe, loving, low-stress environment where pets can relax, play, and keep their normal routines as much as possible. We believe great pet care is about patience, communication, consistency, and making every pet feel at home. Elisa works remotely full-time, which allows her to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day rather than pets being left alone for long periods of time. We provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can relax and feel at home. We keep plenty of toys, cozy dog beds, and comfortable spaces for pets to rest, play, and settle in throughout the day. One of the things that makes my home especially convenient is the private patio area, which is very helpful for quick potty breaks and maintaining routines for dogs in a safe and easy-to-access space.

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 ready to welcome pets back into my heart and home. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll care for your dog with the same love, attention, and tenderness I gave my own. ⠀ Your dog will receive personalized care based on their routine, personality, and energy level, and they’ll never be left alone for long periods. My goal is to help every dog feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. ⠀ A Typical Day 🗓️ Each day is tailored to your dog's needs and usually includes walks, fresh air, sniffing adventures, playtime, and plenty of relaxation. Depending on the weather and your dog's preferences, we may enjoy neighborhood strolls or explore nearby Austin trails. ⠀ Play, Rest & Lots of Love 🎾 Whether your dog enjoys fetch, tug-of-war, leisurely walks, or simply lounging nearby, I provide a balance of activity, comfort, and companionship throughout the day. ⠀ When your dog stays with me, their happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. I’ll do my best to follow their normal routine and provide the love and reassurance they’re accustomed to at home. 🫶🏼 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 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.
“Ashley does an incredible job with my pup, Kona. I was a bit nervous about leaving her with someone else, but Ashley made me feel really comfortable and gave me a lot of updates! She also has been incredibly flexible with my crazy schedule and accommodating with Kona's preference to only be with smaller dogs. Thanks Ashley!”

“I am happy I found Elizabeth to watch over Buster! She gives him lots of love and care and treats him like family! She has a great love for animals! She gives lots of photo updates of what Buster is doing throughout the day.”

“Paul and Karina always take amazing care of Lola. She goes to them for daycare once a week and they keep her whenever we travel. They send lots of photos and she gets ton of exercise / love / attention there. She gets so excited when we pull up to their house that she pulls me to the front door :)”
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!
“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.”

“I had a wonderful experience. I showed up completely forgetting my pup’s belongings and didn’t get a chance to drive home to grab his stuff. They were very accommodating and helped me feel at ease with text updates and photos. When I picked up my pup his tail was wagging and I could tell he had a good time. Will definitely use their services again! Thanks again for everything !”

“Dianelis was great with my dog. She sent multiple photos and videos. She took him on a walk and he had a great time playing with her dog. She was great at communicating and I would definitely book with her again!”

“It was our first time trying out Rover and it did not disappoint. Our dogs loved their stay and we will be booking with Ms. Zhian’s family for more. They were super friendly and welcoming which we really appreciated.”

Sinthiana was great! Kirby had such a great time with her and her pup, and we got so many great pictures and videos. Sinthiana was very communicative and accepted our booking very last minute. Thanks to her he didn’t have to stay home all day alone! We will definitely be booking with her again!

I booked daycare with Lisa as a tryout for finding new sitters. She gave my pup a lot of attention, outdoor and playtime. Her house is a calm place and has a large backyard. I appreciate the clear communication and questions on arrival, and felt confident about the new environment. She also provided some honest feedback about separation anxiety that I wasn't aware of, which was much appreciated so that I can prepare and plan for that in the future.

Mariia is an excellent sitter, with a clean, safe and comfortable space, excellent communication and punctuality. My service-trained dog was very comfortable and felt right at home during her daycare. Her routine and needs were accommodated and the overall experience was pleasant and stress-free. Would absolutely book again.

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!
