House Sitting in Highland, Austin, TX

“Arantxa gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. She goes above and beyond with updates, special care to keep their routine, and gives them so much love and attention. She genuinely treats your pets like they are her own. She is the BEST! 😊”

“Linda was such a great sitter! She was communicative and very nice with our Sadie. She will definitely be our go to sitter from now on. Loved how she even gave some training to Sadie very patient and understanding. Gave us daily updates and pictures on how Sadie was doing.”

“Kody was phenomenal. My dog is very shy and timid at first. Kody was patient with him slowly earning his trust. Kody also sent great pics and detailed updates which was nice to have while away. He even went above and beyond and watered my plants while it was hot out. I would highly recommend Kody.”

“Erica was an excellent house sitter for my cats! She made sure they each were administered their medications on time and were given lots of attention and playtime. She was responsive, sent photos and videos, and took great care of my house as well. I cannot recommend her enough, my kitty cats were in great hands!”

About: With a strong sense for dog body language and behavior, I naturally bond with dogs and know how to keep them engaged, playful, and calm. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior companion, I tailor their care to suit their needs and give them a fulfilling, well-balanced day. My schedule allows me to maintain consistent routines for feeding, training, sleep, and potty breaks. I offer a variety of experiences from city parks to nature hikes, giving dogs exposure to a diverse range of settings. I also provide basic training support including crate, leash/off-leash, recall, sport-based games like fetch and frisbee, and even task-based and obedience exercises—skills I’ve developed through 10+ years of experience with dogs from puppyhood to senior stages. As a graduate student currently on summer break, my schedule is wide open—and I’ve intentionally structured my time to prioritize pet care. I’m available for care throughout the day, whether that means early-morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or overnight sitting. My flexibility allows me to tailor routines around your dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic and need lots of stimulation or prefer a slower, calmer pace. I spend much of my time outdoors, and I love incorporating dogs into that lifestyle—hiking scenic trails, visiting off-leash parks, or just taking long neighborhood walks. I believe dogs thrive when they experience new encounters, and I work those moments of enrichment into every week. I live in a spacious, first-floor apartment with direct access to a secure patio and a neighborhood dog park—just steps outside my door. This makes potty breaks, quick outdoor play/walks, and socialization seamless and stress-free. Every day, our neighborhood hosts friendly dog meetups with well-behaved pups, offering perfect opportunities for your dog to engage with others in a safe environment. Inside my home, dogs will find a clean, calm, and organized space with plenty of enrichment. I have a variety of toys, training tools, puzzles, and games to ensure your dog stays mentally and physically stimulated—the goal is for no boredom and anxiety. I also keep a full range of grooming and cleaning supplies on hand, so whether your dog needs a simple wipe-down or a post-adventure bath, I’ve got it covered. I am well-versed in training methods and behavior management, so if your pup has specific routines or commands, I likely already have the knowledge and equipment to maintain their structure. I’m happy to reinforce crate training, leash manners, or any custom instructions you provide to ensure consistency while you’re away. I also have a well-socialized golden retriever mix who’s incredibly calm, friendly, and trained to model great behavior for other dogs. If your dog enjoys companionship, mine makes an excellent playmate. If needed, I can crate or separate the dogs for one-on-one attention or downtime—your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

“I came home to happy content kitties and a clean home. Daria was so caring for them, sending me so many wonderful photos. I will be rebooking w her anytime I need someone. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies.”

About: I pet sit because I want to, not because I need to💜. It’s a passion of mine to be around your pets. As the the oldest of 5 much younger siblings and a former professional nanny, I am a natural caregiver! Now, I am an independent hairstylist that works for myself, and as an animal lover, I have naturally become many of my clients trusted go-to pet sitter, especially for in house vacation pet sitting. I am highly trained as a former animal foster (including the bottle babies that require so much attention and responsibility) and as a professional care giver. I also grew up with non-traditional critters including, but not limited to, hedgehogs, salamanders, iguanas, guinea pigs, gerbils, etc. so I’m cool with whatever you throw at me! LGBTQ+ friendly!! I work for myself part time as a hairstylist. I make my own hours so it is very easy to not schedule on the days I am needed or to schedule large breaks in between. As a former nanny and elder millennial (lol) I am very responsible first! I always double check leashes, harnesses, doors, etc so you can leave your home feeling great with your guys in my hands. At my clients home, I very much like to follow their rules and instructions to the detail. I keep a photo and/or list of all instructions on my phone and a physical copy in my car. At my own home, I like to listen to what my clients feel comfortable with and follow that as discussed with them. I do like their pets to feel like I’m their loving grandma- they always get extra love and long walks when I come to see them!

“Karli is fantastic! She sent great updates and left the house in perfect shape. My dogs can be finicky around new people but they were completely comfortable with her. Thanks, Karli!”

“Andrew, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! You gave such care and love to Buddy, Ollie and Saber And my house and plants! My crew was well-cared for and that means so much to me. Bonus, the house was clean and sweet-smelling, the plants thriving and such a welcome to come home to. I can’t thank you enough!”

“Lily is an amazing dog sitter!! She is very communicative and is proactive in asking questions or clarifying details about any needs that arise. When I get home, the pups are completely content—making it clear that they feel comfortable and happy with her taking care of them. Will definitely continue to reach out to Lily for future needs!”

“Brandi took exceptional care of my girl while I was away. She's incredibly professional and trustworthy. I appreciated her pictures and updates twice a day. When I returned home my pup was in good spirits and clearly well cared for. I'll have her sit anytime I'm away!”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Leslie! She was super reliable and always quick to respond to messages. Our dog has gotten a bit more anxious in recent years, but she spent tons of time with her and really helped her feel comfortable. When we came home she was clearly happy, relaxed, and well looked after. We’re so grateful to have found someone who treats our pup like family, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

Nicole J.

“Katie was so great with our cat! She sent frequent updates and really cute pictures to let us know how our girl was doing. Our trip was so much better because we didn’t have to worry about things at home, and we knew our cat was in good hands! Katie also went above and beyond when it came to leaving our apartment cleaner than it was before we left! I was so impressed how nice it was when we got back! Thank you again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my dogs for my family since I was at least 5 years old. It was always my job to let them out, to walk them around the neighborhood with my mom, to feed them and give them water at the right times. Throughout those years, we’ve had multiple dogs, and I’ve dog sat for my parents, my sister, my friends and family members. Now, I have a dog of my own. She’s been mine for 8 years. She is my best friend and my rock. I know what it’s like to care for a dog. They aren’t just a pet, they’re family. They should be treated like so. :) I work freelance audio engineering and music production, so my availability is as flexible as it gets! I am even available late nights. I can always make time for any job I’m hired for. I love to ask the owner plenty of questions. I like to ask them what toys are which dogs (if they don’t share), which bowls are which dogs, what times to feed, how many times a day and what times to take them out. I ask how they react to other dogs while on walks, and If I should take extra precautions. If there is any pets who are on medications, I make sure to write down exactly what dosage, medication, what dog it belongs to, and what time to administer the medication. I am used to cleaning up after dogs, so I can provide cleanup of the backyard for any “droppings”

“Ashley was an amazing sitter for our little dog. She has great energy and he loved her. She was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We loved her and will definitely have her come stay again!”

“Magdalena always provides professional service when watching my crew! She’s helped me out a few times to take care of my dogs and cats and always accommodates their ever changing needs for feeding and daily routine, and as incredibly polite. Highly recommend!”
