About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have cared for over five dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages with my family. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I understand how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs and personality. I love spending time playing, walking, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Whether it’s belly rubs, outdoor play, or quiet company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and happy! Besides dogs, I love all animals! I have had bunnies and birds before and know how to take care of them! I work remotely full-time, which which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout their stay. My daily routine is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, medication routines, and regular check-ins. I like to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Whether they need active play, quiet company, extra patience, or a calm space to relax, I do my best to adjust my day around their comfort and needs! I live in a spacious apartment that offers plenty of room for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well supervised! I got my two friendly American Shorthair cats at home, so I’m very mindful about introductions, boundaries, and each pet’s comfort level. I always take time to understand how each pet does around other animals! If a pet needs their own space, quiet time, or a slower introduction, I make sure they have a calm area where they can relax. I keep the environment clean, organized, and peaceful so every pet feels cared for during their stay!

“We have been out of town a lot the last few months so we haven’t been able to use Puffin and pack for daycare much anymore, but she accommodated my last minute request over the holidays so I could get out of the house dog free for a few hours.”

“David was great for daycare with our dog! He responded promptly, took care to understand our dog's needs and was provided us with photos and updates throughout the day. He also provided us with a framed portrait of our dog at the end of the day, which was an awesome gesture. Would highly recommend David for doggy daycare or boarding!”

Nathan K.

“We were in town for a short visit and needed a place for our pup to stay for several hours. Jin and her husband were very friendly, responsive, and sent many picture updates. Highly recommend and would definitely rebook when we’re back in Austin!”

Jessie C.

“David Buster had an awesome time!!! He's a happy and sleepy boy after a day of fun!”

“We have been loving getting to know Ms. Aimee and her neighborhood. Fable has gone on lots of adventures with Ms. Aimee and is so excited for daycare. Thank you for all your love and care”

“Angela and her roommate Kelly did a great job of watching our dog Nellie. They both clearly love animals and go the extra mile to make sure you and your pet are comfortable. This was our dog's first pet sit and she did not understand at first that the "no potty inside" rules applied in other's homes as well but Angela was so patient and understanding.”

Elizabeth P.

“Valerie took really great care of my dog for a daycare day. She sent lots of pictures and I felt fully comfortable with her supervision. I can really tell that she is good at what she does, and it is so appreciated to have a reliable sitter!”

About: We treat every pet like our own, giving young pets the play, patience, and structure they need, and offering seniors the extra comfort and gentle care they deserve. Whether your dog or cat is young, old, or in between, we're here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My husband and I have a 4 year old Shiba Inu of our own (Tobimaru). We both work from home, so daily activities are morning and evening walks, indoor play, and backyard adventures when Toby is wanting outside. If a pet needs our attention, we are quick to grant that. Our fenced in backyard is well shaded, so it's bearable for heat or sun-sensitive dogs in the tough summers of Austin for their outdoor needs. Pets can have the run of the house - we have dog beds in nearly every room. Plenty of space for play inside, and a spacious fenced in backyard if they have the zoomies. We have plenty of room for crates if that is the preferred method of overnight rest for your pet. Our neighborhood has a great amount of foot traffic and dog walking, so we always feel safe in that regard.

“Luca visited Xinrui’s for a daycare session and had a wonderful time! He enjoyed playing with Lucky, who is so friendly and well-behaved. I’m happy Luca got to spend time with her.”

“Baguette has only been with Linda a couple of days but I can already tell how much she loves it there. I’ve never seen her come home so happy and relaxed! Linda gives her so much love, attention, and playtime and I feel 100% at ease knowing she’s in such good hands. It means the world to know my lil baby is safe, cared for, and having fun while I’m at work. We’re so lucky to have found her! 💕🐾”

About: I have been a dog owner for 8 years and have experience with post surgery, administering medicines, and senior dogs for 2 years. I’ve watched my several of my friend’s dogs and they all get along great with Tendie! I love to play with energetic dogs and relax and snuggle with lazy dogs. I have a good sized fenced in yard for dogs of all sizes to explore and sniff to their hearts desires! I work from home so I can accommodate any special bathroom or other timing needs. Tendie is a senior dog who does very well with other dogs and mostly keeps to himself after he’s met another dog. I work from home so I can accommodate any special timing needs your dog may have. I can let a dog out in my yard anytime of day for bathroom breaks and typically go on walks around 4-5pm, but can adjust if needed. I have a fully fenced in yard and live on a quiet street away from loud traffic and busy intersections. I also have several rooms to separate any dogs if some alone time is needed.

About: I’ve had dogs all of my life, and I am a big animal lover. I’ve successfully trained 2 puppies. I have many years of sitting and walking experience, professionally and otherwise. My dog is very friendly and well-socialized. I work from home so I’m available around the clock for the most part. For me, playing with pets is a wonderful stress reliever so we both get something beneficial out of it. I live in a neighborhood with safe walking paths with plenty of shade. I also have nearby dog parks, weather permitting. I have a big privacy-fenced backyard. I have gates and ways of partitioning space in my house and yard to accommodate special needs. I am a retired ICU nurse, so I am diligent about health and safety and very capable of administering medications as needed.

“Brendan was great and flexible with my changing work schedule! Sebastian acted like I was never gone when we got home! Great communication.”

About: I've taken care of family pets pretty much my entire life. Within the past several years I've watched my friend's dogs while they've been out of town and have done pet visits and walks for dogs that prefer to stay in their home. I work from home full time so I would be able to spend time with your dog and care for them throughout the day. In the evenings we spend time watching Netflix and being lazy on the couch. I live in a 3 bedroom house with a fenced in yard so there will be plenty of room to roam around and chill out. I have a very chill cat who will spend the entire time hiding!

About: I’ve cared for a wide range of pets growing up, including dogs, cats, fish, and small animals like guinea pigs. I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life—from raising my own dog from 8 weeks old to caring for senior dogs with more specialized needs. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy working with high-energy dogs, making sure they get the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to stay present, maintain routines, and give pets consistent care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I also prioritize clear communication and provide regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away. Pet care is something I intentionally structure my day around, not something I fit in when I have time. Since I work remotely, I’m home and available throughout the day, which allows for consistent walks, playtime, and attention instead of long gaps alone. I live in a large home with a fully fenced yard, so dogs have safe, easy access to the outdoors for breaks and fresh air. I still make sure they get proper walks and activity based on their energy level—it’s not just yard time. I adjust my schedule to match each pet’s routine—whether that’s higher activity and stimulation or a calmer, more predictable pace—and focus on keeping their day consistent and low-stress. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, structured, and low-stress environment. I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to—feeding schedules, walks, and downtime—so the transition feels as natural as possible. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor breaks, along with regular walks and playtime based on their energy level. I’m home throughout the day, so they receive consistent supervision and attention rather than being left alone for long periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding, walks, medications if needed—and make sure the pet stays comfortable in their familiar space. I’m respectful of the home, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing. In both settings, I focus on being attentive, reliable, and responsive to each pet’s individual needs.

About: Hi! I’m Gabriela, a lifelong dog lover who has cared for pups of all shapes and sizes, from tiny teacups to large breeds. With over 15 years of hands-on experience and a history of boarding for friends and families, I’ve learned that every dog deserves to be treated like family, not just a pet. With my own doodle, Bentley, by my side (a super-friendly mini/medium Goldendoodle), your pup will always have a built-in buddy for walks, playtime, and snuggles. Because their safety and happiness are my top priority, I only board dogs who are friendly, house trained, and a good match for Bentley’s easygoing personality. Your pup will enjoy daily walks (at least 3 a day), plenty of love, playtime, and a warm, homey environment where they’re treated with the same care and affection as my own. I go above and beyond to ensure your pup feels safe, loved, and spoiled with attention—while also keeping you comfortable and updated every step of the way. Because I work from home, I’m able to give plenty of attention throughout the day. I use my breaks to play, cuddle, and check in with the dogs, and I make sure they get regular walks (at least 3 a day) to stay happy and active. In my home, I provide a safe, loving environment with a crate available if needed and my friendly Goldendoodle, Bentley, as a companion. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood where safety is a priority on every walk. Since I work from home, I can give plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks. In client homes, I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure they feel safe and comfortable while keeping owners updated every step of the way.

“Casandra took great care of Niko during my day trip out of Austin. When I picked up Niko, he was happy and tired! Casandra made sure Niko got along with her dog Cory by having a meet-and-greet beforehand. She also updated me with a lot of photos from the day. Would definitely drop Niko off with her and Cory again! Thanks, Casandra.”
