Pet Sitting Hancock

“Rachel took great care of my dog, just like last time. She was patient when he was nervous and I really appreciated how communicative she was about what was going on. Her rover notes were always quite descriptive and it was amazing to see how my dog warmed up to her with every visit!”

“Arantxa is so sweet, reliable, caring, and engaging! From her updates and interactions with my dog and cat I can tell that she genuinely cares about animals and treats my pets as if they were her own. my dog just absolutely adores her and my cat never comes out for anyone- but Arantxa made the cut 🥰 She is the best. I’ll definitely be booking her in the future! Thank you for all that you do for my fur babies Aranxta 🩷”

“Debbi was great! She was super sweet with Sophia and kept me updated while I was gone. Really appreciated the communication and knowing Sophia was in good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: In high school I briefly volunteered at Keller HSNT and then pivoted to volunteering at a no-kill, nonprofit animal shelter called Operation Kindness where I was trained to properly look after both dogs and cats! I volunteered there for several years and I was able to walk the dogs there too, learning how to provide them a calm walk and to deescalate their stress in response to their environment. Additionally, I have my own two sweet dogs back home and I always take them on long walks and adore caring for them. Since they’re my family’s dogs, I don’t consider caring for them as professional pet care experience, but I do want to mention that my love for Buster and Mojo has taught me a lot of the basics! Although I’ve taken both of them on walks together before, I would prefer to walk one dog at a time when it comes to other people’s dogs, given that I am less familiar with their temperaments and I want to ensure that everything goes smoothly! Other than that, I absolutely loveeee animals and I enjoy spending time with them! I’ve looked after several of my friends’ dogs before and have been paid to walk some of my neighborhood dogs in high school, as well as dog and cat-sit for them! As a sophomore at UT, classes and student org events are what primarily make up my schedule. I’m usually pretty free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, because I have classes until 10am those days. On Tuesdays and Thursdays however, my time is more limited because I’m generally unavailable until late afternoon on those days. Caring for a pet at a client’s home includes being incredibly knowledgeable of my client’s boundaries regarding their home, as well as communicating important parts of their pet’s routine. Safety is incredibly essential, and I know that my time and attention towards their pet is crucial: I have never allowed myself to pay more attention to my phone or other things when what I should be paying the greatest level of attention to is the client’s pet.

“Natalie is reliable and consistent in her work. My cat absolutely adored her, judging by few dozen pictures Natalie sent me during her drop-in visits. I will definitely book her again!”

“Isabel was absolutely fantastic with our six-month-old puppy, Oliver! This was our first time leaving him with someone new, and our original sitter fell through at the last minute. I reached out to Isabel on Rover just two days before we needed someone, and she responded within about 20 minutes and was able to help us out. From the very beginning, Isabel made us feel completely at ease. We FaceTimed beforehand, and she asked incredibly thoughtful questions—especially since Oliver is still a puppy and in the middle of training. She asked what commands we use, exactly how we say them, what his routine looks like around meals, and other questions I honestly wouldn’t have even thought to bring up with a sitter. When she came over, she let us know as soon as she arrived and afterward sent a detailed update with photos. She told us when she fed Oliver, what games they played, how he behaved, and even shared thoughtful observations about his personality. I really appreciated how attentive and engaged she was rather than simply stopping by to let him out and feed him. Most importantly, I came away from the experience feeling incredibly confident trusting Isabel with Oliver. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and takes the responsibility seriously. All of her amazing reviews make complete sense after experiencing it firsthand. Isabel is a 10/10, and we would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi, I’m Tracey! I specialize exclusively in providing gentle and loving care for small-breed dogs and all cats. Smaller pets have unique needs, preferences and personalities, and I understand them well! Whether your small pup needs a careful walk or a lap to snuggle in or your kitty requires calm patience, I am there to ensure they feel safe and loved while you are away. Safety is always a priority with small pets—including avoiding encounters with aggressive or large dogs, and properly using harnesses to protect petite frames. Kitties receive the utmost patience and respect for strict boundaries, and/or all the playtime they desire. Dependable and Communicative, I adhere strictly to your instructions. You will receive a detailed update and plenty of fun photos each time I visit! What A Visit Looks Like: Petite Pups: A size-appropriate walk and/or indoor/outdoor playtime and potty time clean-up. Fresh water, treats/food, and a cuddle in my lap if so desired! Fancy (all) Cats: Fresh food and water, meticulous attention to the litter box(es) and play or quiet companionship depending on kitty preferences. I look forward to meeting your petite and fancy family members. Let’s set up a Meet & Greet to ensure we are a perfect match! I work full-time, standard hours during the week so I am able to offer reliable, dedicated visits during mornings, evenings, and weekends! This structure works perfectly for pets on a consistent schedule or weekend companionship while you are away. My Visiting Hours: Weekdays (Mon-Fri): Morning visits before 8 AM and evening visits after 5:30 PM. Weekends (Sat-Sun) Fully open with flexible, all-day availability. I keep my home very clean and cat friendly. Litter is changed daily and kitties are brushed routinely. I have cat trees and scratching opportunities placed throughout along with favorite toys always available.

“Thanks again for taking good care of my cats! Ann Marie did such a great job of keeping me updated and sending adorable/artsy photos of my babies during each drop in visit. My cats will look forward to seeing her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s senior dogs for the past 5 years and have raised a puppy and a kitten of my own. I love all animals and have taken care of reptiles, 7 cats at once, birds, fish, bugs, and plants! I’m here to ensure that your space is just as you left it and your pet is happy. Also, I love to take silly pictures of your pet and will happily send them to you. I’m a full time college student that also works part time. I’m a multi-tasker by nature, so it’s likely I will be listening to lectures while I play fetch with your pet’s favorite toy. You will never be worried that your dog is lonely because I will stay and hang. My schedule is different every day, but consistent weekly. I’ve had my lizard Hazel since 8th grade (a long time). To keep a lizard that long takes a certain amount of consistency and respect for animals that I’ve seen others struggle with. I will be diligent in ensuring that your pet is healthy and happy in your home.

“Lindsay was SO good to my sweetheart while I was away. He was clearly loved and well cared for, and that meant the world to me. She was very thorough and consistent with check-ins and pictures. I felt very confident having her as my catsitter. ❤️”

I’m very experienced with walking dogs and even taking them on hikes, and am familiar with all sizes and temperaments! I am very excited to take care of your pet :) I’m currently working full time on weekdays, and so am available weekdays after 4 or 5pm, and all day during the weekends! I’m pretty flexible and open during those hours/days, so please reach out! I am a pet lover and am very excited to give your pet all of the attention - whether that’s long walks, playtime, or hanging out on the couch!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, whether they were part of my family or in the homes my mom cleaned. The best part of my day was seeing a pet eagerly waiting with a wagging tail and treats in hand. Since I was young teen, pet owners have entrusted me to care for their furry friends whether it’s walking them or playing together. I have a knack for quickly connecting with dogs, making them feel safe and loved. My goal is to ensure every pet I care for is happy and well-cared for, reflecting the trust owners have placed in me. I’m currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin, but I’m originally from Houston. During the summer, I enjoy keeping myself occupied with my furry friends. If you need my services, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll do my best to respond promptly. Considering my current schedule, I’m available any day of the week at any time. I'm dedicated to ensuring that all pets feel comfortable and secure, which includes maintaining a clean and hazard-free space. I ensure that all play areas are designed with safety in mind, providing ample room for pets to explore while using secure fencing and supervised playtime. I also engage in regular communication with pet owners, keeping them informed about their pets' well-being and activities. My approach is always gentle and compassionate, ensuring a nurturing atmosphere.

“Once again, Adam did a great job of taking care of Mr Kitty and even gave him medication. He responded promptly to any concerns and let me know if there was something that concerned him. We would definitely use Adam again,”

“David watched my dog for a full week and did a great job! My dog had a great time with him and I had full confidence in David the whole week. He even left me with a framed picture of him! Super great job!”

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and my hands-on experience caring for them throughout my life. I’ve grown up with both a French Bulldog and a Black Lab, which has given me a strong understanding of different breeds, energy levels, and care needs. I’m comfortable working with dogs of varying temperaments and sizes, from high-energy dogs that need active engagement to more relaxed companions who benefit from a calm, steady approach. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and adjust my care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also prioritize consistency, patience, and clear communication. Whether I’m reinforcing basic routines, caring for senior dogs who may need a gentler pace, or simply providing companionship, I approach every pet with attentiveness and respect. My goal is to provide dependable, high-quality care while making sure each dog feels secure, happy, and at ease in my care. Pet care is a consistent and well-planned part of my weekly routine. I work Monday through Friday, which means I am primarily available in the evenings and on weekends. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits after work on weekdays, as well as more flexible availability on weekends for walks, visits, and house sitting. When house sitting, I ensure pets receive attentive care and maintain their normal routines outside of my working hours. I carefully manage my schedule to remain dependable and punctual, ensuring each pet receives the time, attention, and quality care they deserve. I am committed to providing a safe, reliable, and low-stress environment for every pet in my care. Whether I am dog walking or house sitting, I prioritize each pet’s well-being while maintaining the highest level of respect for my client’s home. During dog walks, I ensure all pets are securely leashed and handled with care at all times. I remain attentive to the surrounding environment to avoid potential hazards and tailor each walk to the dog’s age, temperament, and activity level. I also monitor for signs of fatigue or discomfort and ensure pets return home safely and comfortably. For house sitting, I follow each pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care instructions. Maintaining consistency helps minimize stress and keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I also ensure the home remains clean, secure, and well cared for throughout my stay. Communication is a key part of my service. I provide regular updates, including photos and status reports, so clients can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is to deliver dependable, attentive care while creating a safe and positive experience for both pets and their owners.

“Was very communicative and even though my dog was a bit standoffish and shy at first he continued to work with him until he was comfortable definitely recommend!!”
