“We were very happy with Jenna's recent care of our cat, Pretzel. She was very communicative and provided timely updates.

5. Waqas A.
“Waqas was exceptional in every way. From the initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that he was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely caring and attentive to my pet’s needs. Throughout the sitting period, Waqas provided regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. My cats were well taken care of, and it was evident that went above and beyond to ensure their comfort and happiness. The communication was seamless, and Waqas was always prompt in responding to messages. I especially appreciated their flexibility with scheduling and their thoughtful approach to following my pet's routine. I highly recommend Waqas for anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. The level of care and attention my pet received was outstanding.

“Amazing sitter & communicator!!”
7. Kyle H.
“Kyle was so great. She made sure our skittish cat was ok, even if it meant searching for him and finding him under the bed. From the start she was so helpful and the communication was great. Can’t thank her enough for giving us peace of mind that our kitty was ok.”
8. Suzanne L.
“Suzanne was great to work with! She really went above and beyond for my cats and took great care of them while I was out of town. She was very communicative and concerned with giving them the best experience possible. I would recommend her 100%!”
9. Melissa B.
“Melissa has been an incredible cat sitter for me; I’ve worked with her multiple times over the last year. She makes me feel super comfortable that my cat is being cared for. I 10/10 recommend her if you need a pet sitter.”
10. Eileen K.
“Eileen was amazing. I had to leave town for Christmas and couldn’t take my cat Barty with me. It was the first time we would be separated for several days so I was a little anxious. Eileen gave me so much peace of mind with her daily updates and photos! Barty looked very happy to see her every time, laying on her lap and just generally being his usual lovebug self. I came back to a clean smelling home (every cat owner knows the slight dread of wondering just what state the litter box will be in) and a calm cat who had clearly been well cared for in my absence.”
11. Rebecca D.
“Rebecca was absolutely amazing! This was our first time using a pet sitter, and she went above and beyond during the meet and greet to make us feel assured our pets were in excellent hands. She was prompt and communicative during the scheduled visits, and as an added bonus, she’s a great photographer! She captured one of the best pictures ever taken of our camera-shy pup! Thank you, Rebecca!!!”

13. Yenah J.
“Highly recommend Yenah! She took care of my cat and dog who are typically shy/scared but I could tell that they warmed up to /liked Yenah from the daily photos she sent. So thankful to Yenah for checking on my fur babies ❤️ Already rebooked her!”
14. Beth E.
“Beth is awesome and took great care of Darcy!!!”
15. Madelyn W.
“Madelyn was great--she's so communicative (including cute pics), very thorough, and my cats were chill and content when I got home. She went above and beyond to check on the cats and make sure they had what they needed. I appreciate that she's clearly both an animal lover and a responsible caretaker. I would love to book Madelyn again for my next trip!”
16. Melissa B.
“Melissa did a wonderful job caring for our pug puppy. She was very professional and great with communication. Our dog loved her immediately. We would recommend her!”
17. Andreea F.
About: For over 19 1/2 years, I was mom to my first love and fur baby, Phoebe. She was the most beautiful meow in the world, and I was fortunate enough to rescue her in 1996 when I was 19 and a sophomore at UT. We had a beautiful lifetime with each other until I crossed her over in 2015 after a short illness. Little did I know in 2016, I would meet my now husband. Through him" I met the second and third loves of my life: Goofy, a dachshund and senior gentleman at the time and Liberace, a sassy, spry and very much living up to his name chihuahua/terrier mix. Did I mention they're dogs?! 😄 And just like that, I've been a dog mom ever since, and most recently to the sweetest lil guy named Pepper who we rescued on June 19th of this year from Bastrop County Animal Shelter. The shelter was a special place to a friend of mine who passed after a courageous battle with cancer and our rescuing Pepper from there was my way to pay tribute to her memory. Trust me, I could go on and on about my experience with, love, commitment, respect and joy for animals. They're EVERYTHING aren't they?! :) All and all though, I'm a cat girl living in a dog's world and I wouldn't change it for the world. I work Monday through Friday, however I am seeking part time work on the weekends so soon my own doggies, husband and I can move into a home and have a yard of our very own. :) I'm available Friday evenings after 6pm for house sitting, walks and/or check ins. My availability on Saturdays and Sundays is flexible for most services. Your pet's home is their and your domain so maintaining their safety and security is paramount and as you request. I can crate; let your dog/doggie out into a fenced back yard and stay outside watching them; and, of course, walk them in areas you've shared with me that are normal routes and parts of their routine. As for the meows, my Phoebe as a kitten was a dasher, so maintaining front and/or back doors, are a speciality of mine. As for water, I check water bowls at least twice daily especially with my dogs, and they're washed daily along with food bowls. I would also do this for my cat, Phoebe. And on the topic of cats, I'm kind of OCD about cleaning out the litter box for any clump I see. While our older dogs are potty trained, our 4 month old puppy, Pepper, is getting there and is a champ when it comes to using his pee pad, which is picked up and replaced as frequently as needed.

“🍀 Excellent! Thank you for paying attention to detail, keeping us in the loop on our little Viva with photos and text, and checking in to give some perspective on the plants which seemed a bit off - it was a good catch 🪴 ✨ It makes all the difference for us to know we can be away from our home-life while Her Majesty and her palace are in your trusted hands! 🫶”
19. Sarah E.
“Sarah has been our pet caregiver the last couple of years. I am very grateful to have connected with her. She is honest,responsible and most of all she genuinely honors our four dogs. She goes that extra step to make sure they are well taken care of while we travel. I highly recommend Sarah to come to your home and care for your pets.”
