House Sitting Goodenow

“Amanda was absolutely incredible with Cooper and Zola! From the moment we met her, I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my two dogs. She was caring, attentive, dependable, and treated them like they were her own. She kept us updated throughout their stay with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from the photos and updates that Cooper and Zola were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. Coming home to two happy, relaxed dogs told me everything I needed to know. Amanda went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch them. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their pets. She is fantastic, and I will absolutely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️ Thank you, Amanda, for taking such amazing care of Cooper and Zola!”

“Dolly had a fun, relaxing time in Khalia’s care. We’re so grateful Khalia was available to play and keep Dolly company while we visited family.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have house sat for at least three different people and took care of their pets! I’ve worked with senior dogs and puppies. I also have a part time job at a pet store so I have a decent amount of knowledge on pets and am more than happy to get things from the store for you! I have also administered medicine to a dog with health issues so I am comfortable administering medicine. I work part-time at a pet store! But I have time in between these things to drop in on pets and walk them, play with them, and even feed them. I’m happy to do whatever needs to be done’ My cat is older so she doesn’t play much anymore, but I’ve played with lots of kitties before. I’ve also played with dogs, big and small. My old home had a fenced in yard that I used to play with the dogs in. I no longer have that, but I love taking my own dog on long walks to burn off some of that energy!

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was a kid. Growing up I had an adorable pit bull that I would feed, walk, and bathe regularly. My family and friends also had cats that I would occasionally watch and feed as well. Recently I have excelled with sticking to strict dietary restrictions for a senior dog I sat to also helping leash train and walk my siblings 6 month old dog. I'm a full time college student and have a part time job. Luckily between my class schedule and work schedule I have more than enough flexibility to provide the service you and your pet need. I have personal dog walking experience and can provide a comfortable walking environment for your pet. I also have experience with rowdy dogs and can safely handle playtime.

“Camryn was truly AMAZING! She is super friendly, my dogs love her, she is thorough, follows instructions, asked important questions when needed, and was 100% trustworthy while staying in our home to watch our fur babies. One of our senior dogs is iffy meeting new people and takes a while to warm up. Camryn followed the instructions I left her regarding keeping him separate from her other than during potty break times. She was able to provide immaculate care for him, even in a more challenging situation than typical. My other two dogs loved the attention she provided them while we were away, and they were cared for equally as well! We definitely will book with her again in the future! Thanks again, Camryn!”

“April watched our gaggle of pups when we had to unexpectedly go out of town. She did an amazing job with them, was responsive, and I felt at ease knowing she had a handle on our crew. We have a puppy and an older guy needing medical care and she handled both so well. I would definitely recommend April!”

About: I have cared for pets since I was 7 years old! I currently share my home with two kitties and three dogs. I also have some experience with smaller animals, I've had three Syrian hamsters in the past and have cared of guinea pigs and rabbits in a shelter setting. I've even cared for pigs, goats, and horses before! For my professional credentials, I've worked in animal care for a combined five years. I have cared for hundreds of animals in animal shelter and veterinary clinic settings. From shy and fearful dogs to feral cats, to kittens and puppies, to senior animals. I have cared for animals that need medications and/or special diets. I have experience with leash and barrier reactive dogs, exuberant canines, and leash biters. I have completed dog handling in a shelter and feral and fractious cat handling courses through Maddie's University. And I've assisted in moderating 10-15+ dogs in play groups before! Through these experiences I've become proficient in understanding animal body language, able to identify a variety of possible health issues, and learned how to best keep animals safe and happy. All in all I believe my varied experiences with animals professionally and personally will allow me to provide great care to your pet! This is my primary source of income at this time! So my schedule is very flexible. Just reach out and we can work something together. I understand that safety is number one with pets! I will always respect your pets' boundaries. And I want to work with you, the pet parent, to understand your pets' habits, preferences, and any allergies or health issues.

“David takes such great care of our two dogs! I can always tell they are very well taken care of and he sends lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend him!”

“Rob did a great job watching our house, two dogs and three cats for 24 days! We were very nervous leaving all our animals with someone but Rob was great and would almost instantly reply to our messages and give us daily updates. We would definitely recommend him and would use again. Thank you!”

About: I love animals. I have owned a horse, birds and fish. Although I never owned a dog or cat, Friends and family have always asked me to pet sit and I have always been more than happy to ablige. As a former letter Carrier, my favorite customers were four-legged. I am retired and want to stay active. Who can keep you more fit and active than a dog that is waiting for a walk-date? When I have dog sat, I usually go for multiple walks. I can walk all day. The dogs love it and it makes them tired. Animals need mental stimulation outside of their house or yard just like people. I try to find things to keep us both busy and happy.

“Bridget is the perfect sitter for our pup! She knew exactly how to engage our 7 month old puppy and keep him busy but comfortable. She is the best!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little kid! Whether it’s dog sitting for a neighbor, family friend, or family member. I love being around animals and enjoy the company! I also volunteer at the Austin animal humane society when I have free time :) I currently work 730-4 every day, Monday-Friday. I work in the office 2-3 days out of the week! I am flexible to your schedule though :) I currently live in a bedroom apartment with a dog park in the complex as well as plenty of trails around to walk them and make sure they get their exercise :) I also have a 1 year old husky/white Pyrenees dog who loves to make new friends and play!

About: Please take into consideration the quality of your pet sitter over a low rate inexperienced "pet lover" that just wants to watch animals . There's a difference. "RATES LISTED HERE ARE BASIC RATES- THEY MAY BE ADJUSTED ON A CASE BY CASE SCENARIO (UP OR DOWN) DEPENDING ON THAT ANIMALS PARTICULAR NEEDS" *******IMO- ANIMALS trump most people 😁 I Specialize in special needs animals & alternative ways to treat that aren't offered by most vets due to my life long experience , I know what works. I also am fond on taking care of any & all animals including horses and farm animals. Right down to guinea pigs n snakes of all kinds. If you need dog boarding, as long as I have notice I can make myself available & home 24/7 ** I work M-F daily, so any animal I can work into my schedule is a great fit. I cannot do daily letting out of dogs unless I have NOTICE (deposit required) I am open to ANY animal watched in my home if that is preferential. I can also "stay" in your home outside of my daily work schedule I'm in a huge farm house, large yard and except for weekly job am always home for one on one. Im extremely close to my local vet and have dealt with many different situations.

About: 🚨PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING 🚨 Hey there! 🐾 Caring for animals isn’t just something I do - it’s truly the heartbeat of my everyday life. I’ve poured my whole heart into 𝘍𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘗𝘦𝘵 𝘚𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 - a personal project I started out of love for animals and a desire to create a safe, clean, happy place for them. Through that journey, i’ve been able to care for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs, and it’s taught me so much about patience, responsibility, and the joy animals bring into our lives 🥰 Over the years, i’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies just learning the ropes - to senior dogs needing gentle routines + extra support. I’m confident handling multiple dogs at once, caring for pets with special diets or medical needs, and maintaining the structure and consistency that helps your babies feel comfortable while your away. I treat every fur baby like family. I know the trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously 💛 ALL dogs must be up to date on all their vaccines + must be on a flea preventative. Making sure that they’re all protected while in my care is important to me - health + safety comes first 💉 My days are always full walks, treats, happy chaos, and lots of love 💕 I’ve built my days around family, school, and animals - which means caring for pets flows right into everything I do. I love being outdoors, staying active, and having a routine - which makes caring for pets the perfect daily companions. I start our mornings off with a nice walk - lots of playtime out back in the backyard throughout the day - and a nice walk, after dinner, to wind down for the night. During + inbetween, i’m juggling being a full time student working towards my bachelors + keeping lit little flock of chickens happy at home 🐓 I’ve mastered balancing schedules while making sure your fur baby feels seen, safe, and loved. Your babies routine becomes my routine - they’ll always have me by their side ✨ When your fur babies are with me, they’re in a space designed just for them - clean, cozy, and full of love 🐾 I keep everything clean + pet safe. I use gentle, pet friendly cleaning supplies and candles that keep the house fresh without ever putting pets at risk. I also provide safe play spaces, cozy resting spots, and a lot of supervision to make sure everyone feels right at home🫶🏽 When i’m in your home, I bring that same level of respect + care - sticking to your routines, keeping spaces tidy, and giving your babies the consistency they need to feel secure 🔐

“Karen is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! She took care of our cats while we were away for about 2 weeks. Our cats are elderly and are not the easiest to deal with, Karen was attentive to their special needs and just went out of her way to ensure they were comfortable and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her for your pet care needs. We travel often and will use her again and again”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a veterinary technician, so I have professional experience caring for animals with a wide range of needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and recognizing potential warning signs of illness or changes in behavior that may need veterinary attention. I know how to assess a situation, monitor pets closely, and communicate with owners if I notice anything concerning. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies who need extra patience, consistency, supervision, and guidance as they learn routines. For senior pets, I understand that they may need a slower pace, extra attention, medication, or additional monitoring to keep them comfortable. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to learn their personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet wants lots of playtime and walks or prefers relaxing and cuddling, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As a veterinary technician, I’m accustomed to caring for animals and making their health, safety, and well-being a priority. I’m available all day Sunday and Monday, and Tuesday through Saturday from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM. I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and attentive monitoring based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I follow feeding, walking, exercise, medication, and care instructions closely, while also providing plenty of attention and companionship. As a veterinary technician, I’m experienced with administering medications and monitoring pets for changes in behavior or potential signs of illness. I take their health and safety seriously and will communicate with the owner promptly if I notice anything concerning. I also make sure pets receive appropriate exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of love and attention. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home.
