Top rated Govalle house sitters

“Arantxa was great! She sent amazing updates and also sent super great pictures of my dog. I know he was in the best of hands with her! I’d definitely reccomend Arantxa to anyone needing someone to watch over their pets because she did a fantastic job!! 10/10”



“Christine has been a great sitter for my two dogs- one who can be very slow to trust sitters and she always keeps me informed with pictures and dogs are happy!”


“Erica is absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for my dog, not only following all of my directions to the letter but also giving him extra love and attention. She took him on special outings, including a fun trip to the River Yard Bar, and made sure I got plenty of photos along the way. Her communication was excellent with consistent updates, quick responses, and genuine care that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I can’t recommend Erica enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter!”


About: We are Sunny and Wendy, and we are a couple that provide service together. In our free time, we like to climb indoors and outdoors. We are more than happy to take the pups out when they stay with us (only if allowed by owners). About Sunny 👨⚕️: I am an animal care professional with 15 years of pet care experience. I can provide special services including medication administration. I love playing with dogs and giving them walks when you board or book house sit with me, and I’ll make sure your pets are happy throughout the time with me. Please do note that I have a cat in the house if you would like to book a day care or boarding. About Wendy 👩💻: I am a UX designer in tech, and I work from home. I will be the main person that spends time with your pup or pups if you book a home sit service with us. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your preferred start/ end time. Please feel free to reach out if you have any question :) Sunny works from an office days everyday, and Wendy has a flexible schedule and works from home. With advanced notice we can accommodate our schedule to fit your needs. We have a two-story house with a high-fenced yard. Pets are allowed in the public area, patio and yard. There is also a fenced dog park in my neighborhood.

“Daria was absolutely wonderful! She kept in touch and coordinated with me excellently! She was extremely flexible to my chaotic schedule and she sent so many wonderful photos with my baby cat! My cat is usually pretty shy but she cozied right up! Daria also provided updates on how much my cat was eating and if she seemed engaged. Really appreciate that. Daria also left my apartment much cleaner than I left it for her hahah!! Daria is a wonderful sitter, I absolutely recommend her if your looking for a house/pet sitter!”


“Great sitter. Was able to help out on short notice and provided updates on our pets. Gave us peace of mind and we were able to enjoy our vacation. Would definitely book again”


“Matt was so great to work with! He was incredibly nice and communicative, and I could tell our boy was in safe hands. He sent frequent pics and updates. Would definitely book again.”


“Yuliia has been a rebooking for a couple of years now. Definitely our preferred Rover. She does such a great job with our animals, and takes AMAZING pictures of them while we're away!”


“Aniela did a great job taking care of our cat FD while we were away! The house was really clean when we got back, and our cat seemed very happy and well looked after. Aniela shared some cute photos and kept in touch about the key pickup and drop-off, which made the whole process easier. It’s so nice to have someone reliable looking after our girl while we’re gone! Thank you so much Aniela for your help!”


“Woody is the best! We think our dogs might like her more than us! We always know they are in the best care, getting so much love and engagement. Woody is also very clean, tidy, and takes care of our home, which is always so appreciated.”


“Mo was a wonderful sitter. Great energy, great communication, and the boys took to him immediately, which doesn't always happen. Took great care of the house as well. I'd feel very comfortable leaving my pups with Mo again. Will definitely rebook.”


“They did a wonderful job keeping us informed and helping our very anxious dog relax on our first trip away! Would definitely use again for house sitting!”


“Matt has been an excellent communicator and pet sitter. He demonstrates so much care and concern for our pets and he will be a go-to for us well into the future. We give Matt our highest recommendation”


“Parker was amazing - we are so grateful that he took such great care of our 9 month old puppy. Puppies are never the easiest option so we are so grateful that Parker was awesome. He sent lots of pictures and updates which we loved. We will be booking again!”


“Kathryn was amazing with my dog and sent many check in photos throughout my trip. When my flight was delayed she stayed longer and helped out with my pup. She is the best and very professional!”


“Lorene was very attentive and caring for my babies. Lots of great communication, pictures and always available if needed. I will definitely be working with her again. Thanks Lorene!”


“Alice took care of our 2 pups and tortoise for a week while we were on vacation. She’s super communicative and sent photos and updates at least daily unprompted. Even when one of our dogs started showing signs of illness, her regular communication gave us peace of mind that she was okay and in good hands. Our pets were happy and home clean and ready for us after a long day of travel. We highly recommend Alice!”


About: Been watching cats and dogs for over 10 years mainly for friends and family. I also have experience with large dogs and multiple pet households. I work remotely so I’m available for frequent check ins or overnight stays. I moved to Austin from Boston less than a year ago so I’m still getting my bearings and dont have an overly busy schedule and have flexibility! Would make sure pets are happy and have plenty of attention while staying/visiting. Happy to do any additional pet chores while at your home if needed.

“Kim was great! She helped out in a pinch and took great care of my senior pup, even triple checking on medications when I said one thing and wrote a different thing down in my directions. Will definitely book again if she’ll have us!”
