“Riley is so sweet and attentive to my two pups! My pups get to take long walks around the neighborhood or have special playtime in the yard. One of my pups requires lots of fresh water due to medications she is on, and Riley always makes sure her bowl is filled to the brim and she drinks readily. Highly recommend him!”

About: I give dogs a calm, predictable experience with a lot of individual attention. I’m good at adjusting to different personalities and energy levels, whether that’s a relaxed senior dog or a more playful, active pup. I can help with walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I’m flexible when my schedule allows, including occasional last-minute requests. I follow instructions closely and keep each dog’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. **Note: potty-trained is a requirement My schedule is flexible, so I can help with walks and drop-ins during the week, as well as daycare and boarding. I follow your dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and consistent while they’re with me, whether it’s a quick visit or a longer stay at my house. In my home, I’m around throughout the day to supervise and hang out with your dog, along with my dog Emory, who is easygoing and does well with both calm and playful dogs. Dogs have access to a fenced yard and a doggie door, and I can provide frequent potty breaks if they can’t use it. They’re also welcome on furniture. I send updates and follow any specific instructions you leave so your dog feels safe and cared for.

About: Hello everyone!, my name is Dominique and I have always had a dog in my life. My earliest memories consist of watching and helping my dog give birth and raise 10 puppies when I was 4 years old. Volunteering at the Austin Animal Center as a teenager was a natural step in my love for animals. I walked the small dogs outside for bathroom breaks and playtime while keeping puppies occupied when their crates were getting cleaned. I also walked the large dogs from their suites to the group play area and supervised multiple large dogs’ interactions. My friends have been trusting me to care for their animals and homes for 7 years now, and I have absolutely loved it! My experience ranges from small dogs to big dogs, puppies to seniors, and I have administered oral medication numerous times. The longest I have house sat was a week straight and the most animals I have cared for at a time is 4. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies❤️ I am currently working part time as a babysitter so I have a lot of availability for walks, feeds, hangouts, play, and cuddles! I am available seven days a week for feedings, walks, and daytime care starting at 10:30 am and into the night. For housesitting visits, I can come and stay at your house Friday night, Saturday night, and holidays for overnight care. First of all, I respect, follow, and complete all written or spoken directions on how to care for your pet and take care of your house. A typical sitting appointment for me is being there to provide food/water, frequent bathroom breaks, outside play, inside play (if given permission), a walk around the neighborhood (if requested), and a movie night with unlimited cuddles 🥰. I believe that it’s important to follow your pets’ cues so if they need extra attention, I am there to play or run around and if they need more space/alone time, I give them that time adjust. While we are having nap/down time, I will complete any household task asked of me which can consist of gathering the mail, putting out trash cans, watering the plants, etc. My favorite part of this experience is forming a bond with clients both human and dog so you can feel comfortable leaving your home in a trusted person’s hands!
About: My wife and I have been pet sitting for 8 years, and are looking forward to meeting new furry friends. We have 1 dog and our 2 kids that have grown up with tons of guest dogs and love to play with them. We allow dogs on our furniture and treat them like family. We have experience administering medications and have hosted several dogs young and old. One of us is home every day so the dogs get lots of attention and outside time. We are very flexible with drop-off and pickup times. We offer in-home dog boarding in our home in South Austin. We have a nice sized yard with 6ft fences around. Our 2 kids who have grown up with dogs are very sweet with them and love to cuddle and play. The dogs are allowed on the furniture and can sleep wherever they are comfortable. We always separate the dogs during feeding time.
“Great took very good care of my senior dog. He gave a little extra love and care when she needed it. He is professional and is responsive. I highly recommend him. He was a terrific Dog Walker and will use him again.”

About: Hi I’m Sarah! Dog mama to Maci (Siberian Husky) and Koa (an Australian Shepherd). When I’m not spending time with my family, you can find me hiking, kayaking, or in a training class with my young pup, Koa. There has never been a time in my life that I haven’t had a pet to care for - from dogs to cats to bunnies. As a pet owner who has had to travel from time to time without my animals, I know how hard it can be to leave your beloved fur baby behind for a trip or even just a long day of work. I am passionate about bringing you and your pet peace and comfort during the occasional times apart. I have experience with all ages of dogs from 8 weeks old to seniors and am happy to be available for drop in visits (whether routine or on occasion) as well as walks. My goal as a pet sitter is to bring peace of mind to you, and lots of pets and playtime to your fur babies. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends soon! I am currently working part time from my home in southwest Austin, making my days open and flexible. With notice I am able to provide care any day of the week. My pets are a part of our family so we spend a lot of time snuggling inside. That said, they’re full of energy so I am no stranger to a good game of fetch in the yard or a long walk. I am comfortable feeding, crating, walking, and playing with your pet as well as giving them lots of affection.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities for years—everything from energetic puppies to senior pets. I’m attentive, patient, and love creating a safe, loving environment where every pet feels at home. Walks, cuddles, and routines are all part of my day! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I start and end my days with dog walks, playtime, and feeding schedules. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I can give pets consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and love throughout the day. Weekends are perfect for longer walks, hikes, or cuddle time on the couch! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment and follow each pet’s routine closely—from feeding schedules to medication needs. I use secure leashes, double-check gates and doors, and keep constant supervision during walks or playtime. I build trust through patience, calm energy, and plenty of positive attention so every pet feels safe, loved, and at ease.
About: I have many years of experience with dog walking, dog sitting, and hands-on animal care. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters, where I received training in working with reactive dogs—building patience, awareness, and safe handling skills in a variety of situations. Animals, especially dogs, have been a lifelong passion of mine. I genuinely enjoy building trust with each dog and understanding their individual personalities and needs. Outside of pet care, I’m an avid hiker and trail runner, and I bring that same energy and love of the outdoors into every walk. I believe that regular, active time outside is essential for a dog’s mental and physical well-being. It’s not just exercise, but enrichment. Sniffing new environments, moving their bodies, and engaging their senses helps create calmer, happier, more balanced dogs. Whether it’s a relaxed neighborhood walk or a more active outing, I focus on making sure every dog feels safe, engaged, and genuinely enjoys their time out. I’m available daily from 6 AM to 6 PM for check-ins, walks, adventures, and attentive pet care. Whether your dog needs a high-energy outing, a structured walk, or a calm, reassuring visit, I bring a steady and grounded presence to every interaction. My focus is on creating a balanced experience that matches each dog’s needs—combining movement, enrichment, and calm energy so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. I offer care in a home with a large fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of safe space to relax, play, and explore. Your pup will also have the company of my two friendly dogs, providing a natural social environment for those who enjoy companionship and gentle interaction. I maintain a calm, structured, and supervised setting so every dog feels comfortable, secure, and at ease—whether they prefer playtime, quiet time, or a mix of both.

About: I grew up with dogs, and always had a love for dogs. I don’t have dogs currently at home because I believe in helping others with their dogs and I’m trying to figure out what kind of dog I will adopt later on. I currently am self-employed so my schedule is flexible. Usually have errands but it takes less than a few hours. I make sure dogs are first priority though. My house is spacious- no dangerous edges for dogs to run into. I also have a fenced yard where dogs can roam. I also believe in keeping my house clutterfree so dogs cannot get into things. Take them on walks if required as well.
“Ellie is great. Just during the meet and greet you could tell she really wanted to get to know my dog. She had great questions that showed she wanted to be as prepared as possible, which I admire in young adults.”

“5 stars isn’t enough! Emma went above and beyond caring for our senior dog and two cats while we were away. She sent detailed updates after each visit with lots of photos, gave all of our pets so much love and attention, and treated them like they were her own. She took extra time with our dog at the dog park, played with our cats, and kept us informed throughout the trip. It was such a relief knowing our pets were in such caring hands. Her communication was outstanding, and it was obvious how much she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a home that was clearly well cared for while we were away. Truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would book her again in a heartbeat! ❤️”
