House Sitting Hancock

“Delilah was amazing with my doggie boi!!! Definitely hope to hire Delilah again next time I travel! Totally went the extra mile picking up my dog’s medication when I accidentally packed it in my luggage.”

Robert S.

“Very communicative and took great care of my dogs when I was traveling. My dogs loved her and we’ll definitely use her again. It was my first time leaving them with a sitter at home but Candice made the experience very seamless. I got regular pictures from their walks and they seemed incredibly happy.”

Abby R.

“Marsha is our go-to person for watching Tani-dog. She's a good friend to Tani-- I can tell they enjoy each other's company. They take long walks together and she keeps us well posted on their time together. Marsha's an excellent choice for a pet sitter.”

Mark D.

“Jessica did an awesome job taking care of Chai and Jaco. We felt very comfortable leaving them with her and she kept us informed of what they were up to.”

Elizabeth W.

“Matthew was super great and the dogs loved him! He sent frequent updates and was always very responsive. Got home from our trip to happy dogs and a pristine house :)”

About: I’ve spent pretty much my entire life surrounded by animals. Growing up in Greece, my parents and I regularly took in stray dogs and cats and gave them permanent homes. At our peak, we had four dogs and six cats at the same time, most of whom simply walked into our backyard one day and apparently thought, “Yep, this will do!” They never left. Since moving to Austin five years ago, I’ve been pet sitting for friends and, thanks to word of mouth, friends of friends (and eventually people I had never met, which I take as a good sign). I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and have been trusted with walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m very comfortable around animals and fully accept that while you’re away, your pet is the boss and I’m merely the staff. And yes, that’s Anna, our Westie, in my profile picture. She still lives with my parents in Greece, and whenever I FaceTime them, she is required to appear on screen first. My parents have accepted their place in the hierarchy. I’m a graduate student at UT, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule. Even on days when I need to be on campus, I often come home during my lunch break.
 My days usually start around 6 a.m. with a workout and wind down around 10 p.m. with a book in bed, so I’m happy to accommodate both early risers and pets who take their beauty sleep very seriously. Walks, playtime, meals, check-ins, and plenty of attention can easily fit into my daily routine. If your pet loves a routine, I’m your person. I know how much animals rely on familiarity, especially when their humans are away, so I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I’m active and always happy to go for a long neighborhood walk—or, if you live downtown, your dog and I may become regulars on the trail. But I’m equally committed to the important work of doing absolutely nothing. If your pet prefers couch time, they’re welcome to join me while I read. I’ll handle the book; they can handle the naps. Above all, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine, and I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos while you’re away.

“Thomas was very responsive to my messages. He sent me pictures and remained communicative when he house sat with my cat. My place was left as it was as well. Definitely trust Thomas to use his services again.”

“Mia was great with Chewie! She is also easy to communicate with and was very responsive.”

Lyndsi P.

“Jolene was great with my pup and kitty. My dog has some health issues and Jolene medicated him and kept to his schedule like instructed. She was loving and kind to my animals and they were not that excited when I got home!”

Melanie M.

“Kim was AMAZING with our brand new rescue dog, Poof. I had foundPoof on the side of the road a week prior and we had the leave town for a wedding, not ideal with a new and unknown dog. Kim was incredible with him taking him on multiple walks a day and making sure he felt safe and love!! Plus Kim cleaned up the house before leaving and stayed late since we had a late flight. Kim is an incredible sitter!!”

About: I regularly volunteer with local shelters through "Doggy Day Out" programs, walking and spending quality time with rescue dogs. This has given me great experience reading canine body language and handling dogs with varying personalities and energy levels. Whether your pet needs high energy outdoor adventures or gentle, attentive companionship, I will treat them like my own and keep you updated every step of the way! Pet care is my full time focus, which means your pet gets my undivided attention and a flexible schedule built completely around their routine. I am fully available throughout the day for house sitting, frequent drop ins, and consistent care without long periods away from your home. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and respecting your home above all else. When house sitting, I will stick strictly to your pet's established routine, feeding schedules, and household rules to minimize their stress. I am experienced with safe leash handling, maintaining secure entryways, and managing different temperaments calmly. You can expect frequent photo and text updates so you always have total peace of mind while away!

“Danika took such good care of our girl, Bella! We adopted Bella a few months ago so we wanted to leave her with someone great and Danika met us ahead of time so Bella would be comfortable. She sent updates and cute photos too - Great overall everything!”

Ben P.

“Rasika was such a lifesaver for us. She stepped in last minute over a holiday and took incredible care of our dogs. She brought them treats, left the house spotless, and sent us daily updates and photos - which honestly did wonders for my anxiety haha. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and our pups were so happy and relaxed when we got home. We’d book her again in a heartbeat.”

Alexa B.

“I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I’d love to keep Aleksi to ourselves 😊, but he is one of the best Rovers we’ve ever had. I’m always nervous leaving Woody with anyone, and Aleksi made me feel completely at ease from start to finish. His communication was fantastic, the updates were thoughtful, and he took amazing care of both Woody and our home. We came home to a happy dog, a spotless house, and total peace of mind. I can’t recommend Aleksi highly enough and would book with him again in a heartbeat!”

Jaclyn L.

“Amazing. I felt so comfortable with Tiffany taking care of my two small dogs and my house. I came home and they were well taken care of as well as the house. Definitely using again!!”

Donna M.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. My dad was a dog trainer while I was growing up so I have always loved caring and spending quality time with dogs. We would have 8 dogs in our house at a time, the more the merrier. I just moved to Austin and deeply miss my 3 dogs at home so I am looking forward to much needed dog time! I am an online student so my schedule is super flexible! I love morning walks and am available for regular check-ins throughout the day! I am very familiar with a dog’s need for exercise. I have a lab of my own and am very comfortable taking dogs on walks, throwing a ball, and even taking them to swim.

“I can’t recommend Marissa enough! She took incredible care of my two cats and my home while I was away. She sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my girls were happy, loved, and well cared for. When I got home, my house was spotless and exactly as I had left it. It’s clear she is dependable, respectful, and truly cares about both the pets and the homes she’s entrusted with!”

Amy H.

“Nizar was amazing during our trip away! He updated us daily, sent photos, and went above and beyond in this care. Highly recommended and will be using again!”

Avery T.

“Wynne was amazing with Luna! She kept me updated, sent lots of pictures, asked all the right questions, and communicated whenever she stepped out. I felt so comfortable knowing Luna was in great hands. Definitely hiring her again!”

Adriana R.

“Stephanie sends photos and videos multiple times a day, and keeps me carefully updated on all the details, meals, medication, walks. She's become good friends with my two dogs, who normally don't open up to anyone outside the family. Thanks to her, I can travel with real peace of mind.”
