House Sitting in Hoxie

“Kimmie was hands down the best dog sitter we have ever had. Her attentiveness, kindness, and care for our pups truly showed. She is great about communicating and sending photos while you’re away from your fur babies, we cannot wait to book her again in the future!”

Lili M.

“Molly was an amazing sitter! She sent me pics of my babies multiple times a day, kept me updated on their feedings and my dogs meds. Enjoyed having her watch over my babies, and def trust her to do it again in the future :3”

“Felicia was very communicative and took great care of our pup (and home). Our little guy was given lots of cuddles and attention. Would definitely recommend!”

“Bruce did a great job watching our two dogs for a week while we were on a cruise in Alaska. He stayed at our house and allowed our dogs to be comforted by their own surroundings. We were excited to see them and glad we had someone we trusted to watch them and take good care of our house as well while we were gone. Thank you!”

About: I’m a total dog person and love getting to know each pup’s unique personality! I treat every dog like they’re part of the fam- lots of love, play time, and making sure ur fu-babies are comfy while you’re away! I am a very chill person who is easy to communicate with, and I always try to stick to a routine that feels normal to them while in my care! Whether your dog is full of energy, or more low-key, I go with the flow! And yes— you can expect daily cute photo updates! :) Taking care of dogs is already a big part of my day-to-day—I’ve got a pup of my own, so I’m used to keeping a good routine down with walks, meals, playtime, and chill time. It’s kinda of second nature at this point! I’m all about keeping things consistent and making sure each dog feels comfy! When I am in someone’s home, I really try to stick to your dog’s normal routine! I’ll ask about all the details so your fur-baby feels comfortable! I am super respectful of your space and always clean up after myself and your dog! My main goal is to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well-loved while you’re gone! :)

About: Animals have been my first love since I was six. As an only child, pets were like siblings, and I’ve been the family go to pet sitter for years. I’m based in Austin and work full-time during the week available for morning evenings and lunch drop ins. I’m also available for weekend house sittings or overnight stays. I’m reliable, respectful, and treat every pet like my own. I lost my dog not long ago, so caring for animals now means even more to me. Whether it’s senior pets, playful pups, or just keeping your home secure, I’m here to help. I work full time during the week, but I’m available for weekend house sitting, overnight stays, and evening check ins. I’ll always communicate clearly and update my calendar to reflect availability. I make sure your pet is well fed, hydrated, and comfortable in their environment. I pay close attention to their needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions, including giving medication, crate time, or just extra love. Whether they need playtime, quiet company, or structured care, I’m here to provide it all with patience and respect.

About: I am commitment to personalized care tailored to your pet's unique needs. I am an experienced sitter ensuring a positive start for your young ones by providing a positive environment and experience. I also specialize in senior pet care, offering gentle support and companionship for older animals, addressing their specific health and mobility needs. With my focus on enrichment activities, regular communication, and a loving environment, your pet will receive the highest level of care and attention. I am flexible and have the ability to come to you anytime of the week and any day of the week. Please feel free to ask any questions about or availability specific to your scheduling needs. I am mobile and willing to travel anywhere in the US to and for you. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions about my in-home services.

About: I’m 28 and I realized that I want to spend my life doing something I enjoy rather than hate. Which is why I chose rover, so I can be around animals all day. Who’s wouldn’t love that! - I’m very attentive - calm and patient - great attention to detail - very respectful of people’s homes and pets I work remotely so I have a lot of free time to take your pups out for some exercise and play with them at home. Available: all week days any time and weekends as well I am very respectful of other people’s homes. I know how weird it may be for someone to let a stranger into their home, so I always make sure to keep things exactly how they were when found and never touch anything without permission. I am also big on communication, so I will be sure to keep you informed on everything

“Regan was amazing and very professional. Great communication while we were away. Took great care of our animals and even gave our dog a bath. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Kendall was awesome! She was super communicative, sent great updated and it was clear made our pups were comfortable with her while we were away. Highly recommend for dog sitting!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was younger. I had 3 dogs growing up (terrier, German shepherd, lab mix). When I moved out of my parents home I got 2 dogs of my own. (Chi-yorkie, Dreamy, and a lab mix, Fischer) both started as puppies with me and my husband. I have 3 children with which the dogs get along with well. I currently work for the school district and have evenings and weekends to watch your fur babies. I can easily swing by to give food, water and walk or let them outside. I would come to your home to let your baby outside to potty, be sure they have food and water… it’s Texas…. IT IS HOT! I love to play with dogs, so I would play out in the yard when time permits. I have a fenced in yard and can potentially keep your dog at my home should the need arise.

“Amiah did a great job taking care of the house and of our Cattledog Bo. He took right to her and maybe was just a bit disappointed when we got home and she wasn’t here! LOL We got updates and pictures while away and she was very flexible when our flight was delayed and we were a day late getting home.”

Alise S.

“We are so glad to have found Rochelle through Rover. We were able to travel with confidence that our cats would be well cared for. Rochelle is a good communicator and caring person.”

About: Hi! I’m Reanna, a passionate animal lover with 4 years of experience as a veterinary technician. I’ve cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and medical needs—from playful puppies to senior cats requiring daily medication. My background in veterinary care means your pet will be in knowledgeable, compassionate hands whether you’re away for a weekend or an extended trip. I treat every pet like my own and pride myself on providing safe, stress-free, and loving care. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work and live in Taylor, TX - working 4 days per week with hour lunch break from 12:00pm- 1:00pm daily. This makes it easy for me to make mid day check ins or potty breaks! I have owned dogs and cats my entire life- through my own pets, fostering, rescuing, rehabbing, or gentling/ training. I am very in tune with behavioral cues and strive to fit each pet’s individual needs.

“Raven stayed with Jocelynn over the Thanksgiving break while my son was home from school in California. Since we are from California, we did not know anyone in Texas to take her during the break and it would have been a two day drive to get her home. Jocelynn kept us updated on Raven and sent pictures. Raven appeared to be well taken care of and”

About: Passionate pet lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience running a 501(c)3 dog rescue right here in Texas! 🐶❤️ From playful pups to senior sweethearts, I’ve cared for animals of all kinds (just not the slithery ones—no thanks! 😅). Safety is always my top priority I keep a close eye on every pet to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and well-loved. I also have extensive experience with medical cases, so you can rest easy knowing your fur babies are in caring, capable hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love they deserve! 🐾 I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time. I play with the dogs between calls and then it's fun time for the dogs after work All pets, whether they're at my home or someone else's home, are and will be spoiled rotten. Happiness is my guarantee when it comes to your furbabies.

About: Previously owned 6 Great Danes. Former foster for Paws of Austin. Lots of on hands training with my own pets such as crate training, walking w/ & without a lead, basic dog grooming, play time, rest time. Willing to care for dogs with special needs I do work a full time job. I'm generally off of work by 4:30 pm. I am primarily available Fri eve - Sun eve. Holiday bookings would be by advance request only. I enjoy being active & your pet would benefit socially, mentally & physically in my care. Above all I will adhere to the clients wishes within reason. I understand as a former pet owner how important safety & security for pets are not just for the pet but for the client as well. To entrust a pet that is much loved with a caretaker can be stressful for both client & pet. I hope to relieve that stress for both.

About: I'm an animal lover! I always had animals growing up; having cats & dogs. Also had a guinea pig, a chinchilla, several birds, a turtle, bunnies and bearded dragons. Our furbabies are like our children! I am a professional petsitter, fostering dogs & cats, training them and rescuing animals. Currently, I have 4 cats (mine) & 2 bearded dragons and 1 small dog (mom's).   I have experiences with seniors and blind furbabies. I also have experiences dealing with flight risk, severe anxiety pets and oral medication as well as injections. **DROP-IN VISIT** I live in Taylor, I can travel to Hutto, Granger, southeast of GT, East of Round Rock, Thorndale and Coupland.  **BOARDING - Requirements: * Non-aggressive/low/medium energy (must be ok with other pets) * 100% house-trained includes trained to not chew on household items * Current on all vaccinations and flea prevention * Male felines must be neutered  I ask you to provide food and bedding for your furbabies because every pet is different, has different lifestyles and eating/sleeping habits, toys.  I have plenty of bowls and plenty of crates (XS, S, M, L, XL & XXL) including a 3 tier crate (for cats) if needed. My schedule is flexible, I'm almost always home. If weather permits, I enjoy going out for long hikes or going to parks/neighborhood for walks. ** Boarding & Housesitting - I'm available 7 days a week. The potty break/meal schedule is flexible on my end. They can go out often for potty breaks, to explore, fetch, and enjoy the sun as they please. Also, will provide outdoor play with engagement of other pups and can do some training as well. ** Housesitting - I will spend the nights with them. Sometimes I will be away for a few hours unless you instruct me for a specific time, such as how long it is ok to leave your pets alone, I will follow your preference. They are welcome to tag along for the ride if they enjoy car rides. -- During my free time I volunteer as a pet rescue member with Trapping, Rescue and Pet Recovery Service (TRAPRS), a non-profit organization. I have been with TRAPRS since they were founded in 2019. When I'm scheduled to pet sit, I will not be available to do a rescue. Only time I'll be away is if someone is able to secure an animal, Ill be out for a quick scan for microchip or if I'm scheduled to drop-in to visit other clients' homes. (I want to be transparent about what I do). I know it can be stressful leaving your family member with a stranger, but you can be confident that your furbaby/ies will be treated as one of the family; given plenty of love, hugs, belly scratches, treats, play time and walks during their stay. I have a fenced yard for your pup(s) to explore, do their business, enjoy the fresh air & flirt with the sun, and play fetch. I will send photos and videos of your furbaby having a great time! You are welcome to reach out to check on them at any time. They will be in good paws!

“I’ve been a Rover Caretaker before but this was my first time booking a caretaker for my house and dogs while we went out of town. Kristen was FANTASTIC! She was very polite, great communication, and my dogs love her! We have three high energy bigger dogs, and when we did a meet and greet, we were worried about them being too much energy for her all at once. In fact, they were calmer once she arrived than before! If you’re looking for someone great to watch your furbabies, you have my word that Kristen will do a great job, and you can trust her.”

About: I have owned dogs and cats throughout my life. While I have always cared for my own, I also have experience volunteering at my dad’s cat’s rescue and dog and cat sitting over the summer. I am a college student and have no responsibilities that keep me from my house for long. I take walks often and would enjoy having a pup to walk with. I would be able to give your pet my full attention and love for the time they are with me. I do not have a fenced yard so will have to leash dogs to go to the bathroom. Any pets will be watched well in my home.
