About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Granite Shoals near Marble Falls, and I’m happy to travel within an hour of the Austin area to care for your pup. I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly believe they’re family—not just pets. I currently share my home with Josie, my sweet 10-year-old Pug, and Bella, my energetic 2-year-old rescue Pit mix. Having dogs at very different life stages has given me experience with everything from senior care and slower-paced walks to playful energy and enrichment. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends care for their dogs—whether that meant walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their humans were away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy trail walks and neighborhood strolls, always tailoring activity levels to each dog’s needs, age, and personality. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! My full time job is mostly remotely, which gives me the flexibility to plan my day around a pet’s needs. This allows me to provide regular walks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure secure environments and safe walks, and treat both pets and homes with care and respect.

“Cathy is the best. I swear our dogs can't wait to see us leave for vacation because they know Cathy is on her way over. She is so reliable and always goes above and beyond. I can relax knowing Cathy is caring for our fur babies.”

“Leslie is amazing! She had her hands full with our little crazy chihuahua and our granddoggies and she handled it like a pro! She even gave our cows treats! We consider her family now!”

About: From a young age, I was taught the love, care, and attention that every animal requires. Growing up around both dogs and cats gave me a great desire to always be surrounded by animals and to have a few of my own. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a special medication, extra walks, or a bedtime story, I’m your girl. Your dogs will be treated as if they are my own, and I’ll make sure you’re always in the know with daily pictures and videos. I work from home, so as long as your house has reliable internet, I can keep your babies entertained and loved throughout the day and night! I want to keep your babies on their schedule as much as possible when you’re away! I would love to have written instructions for feed times, walks, and even bedtime. I will adhere to any rules you have for them as well!

“Hilary kept in communication with me up to the days she stayed overnight with my three dogs. She made sure she understood my expectations and sent pictures the pups daily. I will use her services again and highly recommend her services.”

“Alyssa is great - she took on extra medication duty for my dog this trip and sent daily updates to put my mind at ease. It means a lot to be able to go away and not have to worry. Thank you for your diligent care for my girls, Alyssa!”

About: I was raised in a farming community and have cared for all types of livestock and pets. Dogs and cats have always been a part of our family and home. I have an array of pet skills caring for the puppy/kitten stage to the senior stage of a pet’s life. I’m an empty nester and retired educator who misses the opportunity to nurture and provide care. My schedule is extremely flexible and I enjoy interacting with the great outdoors. I would love to incorporate pets into my daily routine of physical activities and exercise. I enjoy socializing with pets by providing care while their owners are away. I care for my pets as my children. Believe pets need to feel secure knowing their human provides affection, respect, nurturing, nutrition, engagement and physical activity.

“Makaelah was amazing and accommodating! I needed her to stay an extra day at the last minute and she was so nice! My pup absolutely loved her!”

“100/100, I would recommend Sherri as a pet sitter to anyone who asks. She is fantastic and became super fast BFFs with my anxious german shepherd. I appreciated Sherri’s communication with me and felt completely relaxed knowing she had everything controlled while I was gone💜”

“We are so thankful to have found Payton after recently moving to Austin! She is incredibly mature, professional, and kind — the type of person you immediately feel comfortable trusting with your home and pets. What stood out most was how proactive she was in communicating; she stayed a step ahead, keeping us informed and reassured the entire time we were away. As someone who juggles a demanding work and travel schedule, I can’t overstate how much I appreciated that level of clarity and thoughtfulness. She followed every instruction perfectly, was flexible when needed, and left our home and pets so well cared for. We’ll absolutely be using her again — she’s a true gem!”

“Tori was such an incredible caretaker for our rescue pup for in-house sitting while we were out of town. She sent detailed updates, photos, videos and everything went smoothly! We are absolutely going to use her services again and highly recommend her!”

Heather R.

“If I could give Kayla a 9 million star review, I would! She went above and beyond in ALL OF THE WAYS while staying at our home with our Great Dane Banksy! She was in constant and detailed communication with us and she sent picture and video updates which allowed us to watch in real time our very shy, sensitive, unsure girl fall in love with Kayla and her daughter! It was so special! 🥰 We actually had to extend our trip due to last minute cancelled flights and our biggest concern, who would take care of Banksy until we got home, was immediately taken care of because of Kayla’s flexibility and understanding and incredible care. When we got home, our house was in even better order than when we left it. She’s amazing. I cannot recommend her enough. Click the button and book her today!! I promise you it’ll be one of the best decisions you make for your fur babies!”

“Pam was incredibly attentive to our pups, sent us plenty of pictures, and texted us updates while we were away. We appreciated her kindness, thanks so much Pam!”

“Absolutely outstanding experience! Kate cared for our dogs and cat and also watched our home, and she exceeded expectations in every way. Communication was excellent from start to finish, with thoughtful updates and daily photos that gave us total peace of mind. Our pets were clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for. On top of that, she left our home spotless, which was such a great surprise to come back to. It genuinely felt like our home and pets were treated with the same care and attention she would give her own. If you are even considering hiring Kate, do it immediately! We will absolutely book Kate again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional sitter.”

Allen B.

“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”

About: Have had animals in my life since I was born!! Anything from puppies, cats, turtles, fish, birds, you name it it’s been in my family and has been given the utmost care of from beginning to end. Whether it is new or old life it matters in our household!! I have raised all our animals from a young age and also nursing them when puppies and or kittens came into the picture. Have been dog and cat sitting since I was in elementary school. From small to big animals they all receive love and attention to the fullest. I accept same day sitting and will do my best to make it work!! Pricing and such can be discussed if rates aren’t availabe. I currently have 4 cats and 1 dog and they get fed, enjoy the house, sleep, do everything I do because they are apart of this family. In the mornings make sure they are properly fed and have stock of food, water, toys, etc. throughout the day are loved, brushed, and played with!! During the night some are both inside and outside animals but majority stay close to the house and stay inside if they wanna cuddle and sleep with me!! As anyone should I always try to groom and play with the animals or whatever they are in the mood for. My cats and dog will sometimes just come into my room to sleep even when I’m awake they just love proximity to us!! Whatever best helps the animals feel loved you’ll be sure I will do whatever I need to do!!
