House Sitting in Hoxie

“This was our third time booking with Kimmie, and once again, she exceeded our expectations! 🐾 She takes such great care of our dogs—it’s clear they feel safe and loved while we’re away. We always come home to happy pups and peace of mind knowing they’ve been in such capable hands. Kimmie is reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind. We trust her and feel so lucky to have found her. Highly recommend! 💯”

“Kairi!!! I absolutely love her. Beau, my Rottweiler adored her. She took such good care of my boys. She even stayed late when my trip home took longer than expected. Kairi is very good about communicating and sent many pictures. I definitely recommend her to pet sit and house sit!! I will definitely be calling on her again!!”

“Dee was amazing!! She took great care of our furbabies and our home while we were gone. She made sure to communicate with us and give us updates and came to meet us before our trip. Our pups are already looking forward to the next time they get to hang with her!”

About: I’ve had animals in my own house my whole life. Starting around 15 I began dog sitting for my neighbors when they went out of town. I’ve dog-sat dogs from a couple months to 13 years. I also have experience dealing with anxious dogs and rescues :) I am currently in my senior year of college, trying to make some extra money for grad school, and also spend more time with animals, because I cannot currently afford to own one myself. I have time between and after classes when I typically go on walks, and my weekend plans are very flexible. I love getting familiar with the pets favorite toys, treats, and physical care such as belly rubs or ear scratches so that they can get as comfortable with me as possible. I love cuddly dogs but am also a skilled ball thrower for games like fetch.

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.

“Cay was awesome in taking care of my pup! He has some aggression issues so I was nervous leaving him for the first time but she was loving and caring with him and was such a blessing!”

About: Hello! My name is Jordan and I've been passionate towards all animals my entire life and have experience with a variety of different species. I've worked as an animal care intern at a wildlife rehab and as a kennel technician where my primary duties were to work closely with veterinary staff to provide care for animals of all shapes and sizes. This experience plus a life long history with animals has allowed me to recognize each pet's individual personalities so that I may tailor my care to fit their exact needs. My goal is to treat your pets with respect and warmth in order to ensure their happiness while you’re away. I'm sensitive, flexible and empathetic to the individual needs of your pet so that their time apart from you is happy and stress free. I'm communicative and open so that you can rest assured knowing how much fun your pet is having under my care. As an pet parent of many different species myself, I understand the dedication and love you have for your pets and I understand the desire for an accountable, kind caregiver. I am also able to accommodate any special requests, such as if you would prefer your dog be crated during certain times, if your pet needs medications administered during the day and much more. Additionally, I have experience with invertebrates, reptiles, birds, small mammals, dogs and cats. I’m currently a stay at home mom to two amazing kiddos, so I will have plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they need and deserve. I live on half an acre of land with a massive fenced in backyard that will give your babies plenty of space to run around and explore. Additionally, I live in a large 3,200 sq ft home with three living spaces and plenty of bedrooms that can accommodate any pet's preferences. If I’m going to your home, I will be respectful and courteous to any rules and maintain the standard of care you treat your animals with. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to care for pets in a way that truly fits their individual needs. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can adjust feeding times, walks, play, and quiet moments based on each pet’s personality, age, and energy level. This flexibility means my care isn’t one-size-fits-all. If your pet needs more frequent bathroom breaks, extra exercise, or just a little reassurance and companionship, I’m able to respond right away instead of sticking to a strict timetable and I can easily monitor changes in behavior or health. My daily routine may be full, but it’s adaptable—and that makes all the difference in giving pets the individualized attention they deserve. In my home, pets are welcomed into a calm, supervised environment where they can relax and follow a consistent routine. When caring for your pets at your home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so they feel comfortable and secure. My hands-on experience working with many types of animals—different species, breeds, ages and temperaments—gives me the confidence to handle everything. Whether you need me to care for your scaly, feathered, or furry friends, my goal is always the same: to make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away.

About: Loving yours like I love my own; can give them a lot of attention and love. Mental health field, grad student who understands times get hard and need an extra hand! I work part time from home so last minute scheduling is fine. i can work around you! I have my own dog so i constantly take them out on walks and play time! If the dog mom or dad does not want them to interact that is fine! my dog has his own room so keeping them separate is no issue. welcome on the furniture and a lot of toys inside.

About: I grew up around many different kinds of animals, but I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats on my own for the last few years. I am known to be very reliable and hardworking. I am currently getting my Master’s Degree through a fully online program, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pet(s). By caring for the pet(s) in your home, I am able to maintain their routine, safety, and emotional well-being in the environment where they feel the most secure.

“Andrea was great! She arrived right on time and kept us updated, and Apollo loved her. Will definitely recommend and ask her to hang out with Apollo again.”

About: I am looking to help people out with their dogs. I can walk, feed, bathe, play, and help out wherever is needed for your dog to be content. I usually am busy from the hours of 10am-2pm (changes daily) but outside of those hours, I am free to help out where ever you need! I have a fenced yard and my roommate has 1-2 friendly dogs (depends if her boyfriend’s dog tags along); however, she is rarely home and the dogs leave with her. When she is home, I help out with her dogs.

“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.”

“Samantha was an amazing sitter for our animals. She was so attentive and responsive. I had complete trust in her and she went above and beyond. I will definitely be using her again and I would recommend her for sure.”

About: I have been raised around animals lot of animals! I have a lot of experience with dogs and horses. I have experience with cats as well! I am available every day of the week. I am not working at the moment, so my availability is mostly open for your fur babies! I can crate your pet if needed and I don’t mind getting up during the night to let your dog outside! I don’t mind cleaning up if your pet has an accident!

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!

“Saren is amazing! She took very good care of our dogs and our house while we were away.She sent pictures everyday and gave us daily updates. Definitely recommend Saren.”

“Lillian (Ruthie) took such loving care of my li'l girl Sadie! This was my first time leaving her since a cross country move, and Ruthie helped keep Sadie's routine consistent while giving her a quiet, comfortable environment. She was also wonderfully communicative, trustworthy, and caring. Thank you, Ruthie, and we look forward to having you out again!”
