“Christian is incredible with our puppy. She’s very knowledgeable and caring, always leaving detailed notes. She knows when to modify the usual walking routine if our puppy needs it. I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special care instructions. I treat every dog like family and provide regular photo updates so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine as I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home. I can provide regular attention, feeding, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. At my home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment, providing attentive supervision, consistent care, and respectful handling to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure

“Amanda is absolutely amazing! The first green flag was her coming to meet my baby, and my child can be veryyy hyper and Amanda was not phased at all! She communicates so well, extremely friendly, and knowledgeable. She treated my baby so well, anyone who gets her to watch their baby is in LUCK! Wynter enjoyed her so much and I actually look forward to leaving again because I KNOW who I can count on to love my child just as much or maybe even a little more than I will. Always sent pictures and live updates which made me feel EVEN more comfortable while away. I also had a last minute emergency, Amanda insured me that it wasn’t a problem at all for an extension. She’s such a loving professional which is super hard to come by! 100/10 for Amanda!!!!”

“I'm so grateful I found Josepha to help take care of my 13 year old pup every week! Such a lifesaver. She's responsive, friendly, communicative and she has the biggest heart for animals! My pup is totally smitten with her and I couldn't be more grateful to have found the best person to help better the life of my best friend. I *highly* recommend requesting her services. She is far beyond five stars!”

About: I’ve spent pretty much my entire life surrounded by animals. Growing up in Greece, my parents and I regularly took in stray dogs and cats and gave them permanent homes. At our peak, we had four dogs and six cats at the same time, most of whom simply walked into our backyard one day and apparently thought, “Yep, this will do!” They never left. Since moving to Austin five years ago, I’ve been pet sitting for friends and, thanks to word of mouth, friends of friends (and eventually people I had never met, which I take as a good sign). I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and have been trusted with walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m very comfortable around animals and fully accept that while you’re away, your pet is the boss and I’m merely the staff. And yes, that’s Anna, our Westie, in my profile picture. She still lives with my parents in Greece, and whenever I FaceTime them, she is required to appear on screen first. My parents have accepted their place in the hierarchy. I’m a graduate student at UT, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule. Even on days when I need to be on campus, I often come home during my lunch break.
 My days usually start around 6 a.m. with a workout and wind down around 10 p.m. with a book in bed, so I’m happy to accommodate both early risers and pets who take their beauty sleep very seriously. Walks, playtime, meals, check-ins, and plenty of attention can easily fit into my daily routine. If your pet loves a routine, I’m your person. I know how much animals rely on familiarity, especially when their humans are away, so I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I’m active and always happy to go for a long neighborhood walk—or, if you live downtown, your dog and I may become regulars on the trail. But I’m equally committed to the important work of doing absolutely nothing. If your pet prefers couch time, they’re welcome to join me while I read. I’ll handle the book; they can handle the naps. Above all, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine, and I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos while you’re away.

“Priscilla was so kind and patient with my new rescue dog! He really took to her and within just a few walks was visibly sad and upset when the walk was finished!”

About: I am an independent contractor and work flexible hours M-F. I’ve cared for dozens of pets and enjoy treating each fur baby like it’s my own. I’m fully comfortable with both dogs and cats of any age and size. I hope to meet you and your pet sometime soon! I work M-F and only till 12:30 pm on Fridays. My weekends are typically open/flexible. So I’ll have plenty of time to help care for your pet! The dogs I usually care for stay in a gated area until walk times, at which time I take them out to relieve themselves/play for 30 minutes or so a few times during the day. However, I'm happy to follow any special instructions regarding your pet.

“Rickey dredged through a monsoon to take Zelda on a walk and cleaned up an accident she had. Great at communicating and willing to adjust on the fly.”

“Amelia is great! She’s been prompt and great, we had some issues with the building elevator etc and was ready to accommodate and make sure my pup was taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, she’s been great and I look forward to rebooking with her in the future 🙂”

“Kirren has been giving our dog regular walks during the week and has been great! She is reliable and communicative and includes great photos in her walk reports”

“Kim is the best! She always sends an update very promptly after walks with our dogs and she takes great care of them! She truly has a way with animals and even our shyest boy loves her!”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have been a faithful companion to my black cat, Odysseus, for the last 14 years. I also have experience caring for fish, snakes, and rats! I am working part time so I usually have flexibility during the day between 11am and 10pm to take care of your animals. Weekends are more limited but I can usually find time for an early morning or late night check in. I will be incredibly respectful of your home and do my best to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while you are away. I'll send you lots of pictures and all the detailed updates you want on your pets!

About: I had an older dog for four years that I love to take care of. I am flexible with the activity levels of your pets. I work remotely. My job is flexible, so I work from my home or somewhere else. I also am flexible on weekends for pet care. My complex is in a safe area and has an accessible walking trail. I have reliable transportation to get me to and from client’s home.

“Chloe is VERY sweet and I appreciate her patience with my dog and her willingness to learn new things when it comes to reinforcing certain trained behaviors.”

About: I've had dogs my entire life, 3 decades of experience, including raising golden retriever puppies in our household and litters upon litters of kittens. though I would count the last 12 years since I was in college as heavy experience with dogs (and cats) of all kinds. I have personally had a rottweiler mix for 9 years, and currently have a 4 year old 105lb hound mix and an 3 year old 40lb cattle dog mix, as well as a 1 year old cat. I have helped different partners over the years raise anything from a 4lb chihuahua, a catahoula mix, and a french bulldog. Additionally I have bottle fed and raised several litters of kittens and fostered several cats and dogs over the years before locating them to forever homes. I don't have formal dog training experience but I am confident in my ability to love and care for dogs and cats of all types. I am self-employed and my hours are incredibly flexible as I work from home. I live in East Austin. I am self employed so I have a flexible schedule that I fill my extra time with dog walking and pet sitting when I can. I live with my partner and our 3 dogs so for dog sitting I would prefer to drop into or stay in your home but am happy to do so!

About: The house I grew up in may as well have been a zoo! Every kind of animal, all of them cared for and loved 🫶 I have house/pet sat for numerous family members, friends, friends of friends, etc. and have always approached the responsibilities involved with the utmost care and respect. All animals deserve love and attention and that's something I'm happy to help provide, even if just for a quick walk or drop-in visit! My schedule is flexible and I’m willing to accommodate to you and your pet’s schedules. As long as it isn’t super super late, it should work out alright. Happy to do what I can to make your dog happy and comfortable! I’m unable to bring dogs to my house currently, but can easily travel to yours to care for your pup.

“James was great with my pup, Princesa. He dropped in to take her for a walk on 2 long days when I was at the office and I came home to a relaxed and happy pup! Will definitely hire him again!”

“She was very kind and accommodating. Communication with her was very easy. We were able to schedule in an additional walk. My dogs seemed to have had a good time.”
