House Sitting Hoxie

“Kimmie took care of our dogs and our home. We came back to a clean house and happy dogs. She even gracefully dealt with a water sensor going off that we had never even heard in the time we have owned the house! I would recommend her if you need someone reliable to take care of your pets while you're away.”

Gina J.

“Kory was an amazing sitter for our dog! Very communicative, reliable, and caring throughout the entire stay. We would absolutely book with Kory again and highly recommend!”

About: My love for caring for dogs began at a young age while helping care for friends dogs, and has grown into meaningful hands on experience at Dogtopia, a doggy daycare, where I work in both reception and canine coaching. As a canine coach, I provide attentive care, clean up after dogs, monitor their behavior, assist with training, and help create a safe, positive environment where every pup feels comfortable and loved. I have also completed canine coaching health classes to strengthen my knowledge of canine wellness and safety. I’m passionate about continuing to grow my skills and plan to return to school to pursue a career as a vet tech. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities, and I strive to care for every pup with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. House sitting fits seamlessly into my schedule and allows me to provide dependable, attentive care while maintaining my full-time career. I take pride in being organized, responsible, and respectful of each pet’s individual routine and each client’s home. I’m able to plan my daily schedule around the needs of the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, companionship, and care throughout their stay. My goal is to provide exceptional service and peace of mind, giving pet parents confidence that their pets and home are being well cared for while they’re away. As a Frenchie mom, I understand how important it is to provide pets with patience, structure, attention, and plenty of love. When caring for a client’s pets, I make it a priority to follow their established routines, feeding instructions, exercise needs, house rules, and any specific care instructions provided. I understand that every pet and home is different, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet comfortable and happy. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, companionship, and consistency while treating every home with the same respect I would expect for my own. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care and give pet parents complete peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have grown up having dogs my entire life. I have two family dogs named Comet who is 15 years old and Lucy who is 8 years old. I love my dogs and have taken great care of them. I also regularly walked a dog named Lucy (different from my family’s dog Lucy) twice a week for a year while in college along with many other walks, drop-in visits, or sitting opportunities over the past six years. I enjoy walking, sitting, and doing drop-in visits for dogs. They bring me great joy, have such fun personalities, and get me outside for some exercise and fresh air. I am a social worker who is currently working on transferring licenses from states. With that said, I am currently very flexible with my schedule. I will always prioritize your pet’s needs. I usually like to see what the dog is doing in their own space or in a new space like my house so I can learn their preferences. I am always in the same room as the dog and never leave them on their own. My house is very clean and organized. There is plenty of living room and bedrooms space for them to roam around.

About: My family loves Boxers so I’ve been around big dogs my entire life! Growing up, I’ve had the opportunity to watch my neighbors’ dogs on numerous occasions, and I’ve even successfully potty-trained two puppies! I’m excited to be on this platform and offer my services to others. I work full time; however, my schedule is Monday — Wednesday and Saturday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM so I’ll be off Thursday, Friday and Sunday! I can also visit evenings on the days that I work. I’m an avid photographer, so you can expect some cute photos of your pet while I’m taking care of them! I’m also very respectful of other people’s pets, especially since I understand how much people can love their pets. Rest assured, I’ll follow any guidelines you provide!

About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!

“Alexandra was awesome! She took great care of our dogs, kept us up to date and was excellent to work with. We would definitely have her watch our crew again!”

“Dorian was terrific. From the moment we met him we felt confident that our kitty and our home would be well taken care of. He did not disappoint. We would gladly have him stay anytime we are away.”

About: I've had dogs by my side for 20 plus years. I've cared for scared rescues, seniors, puppies, and high energy fosters. I've potty trained dogs and got my 2 doing a series of tricks. I understand the gentle confidence of the alpha helps dogs trust. My two are good with other dogs and have both been boarded with others and had others in our care. I've got a doggie door and fenced yard with squirrels for entertainment. I've got a nice 3 mile nature loop for walks. Dogs...I love them. I'd be glad to put your mind at ease and have yours hang with my pack. I work from home and have ultimate flexibility at the moment so I can walk dogs on your schedule and adapt to your needs. I don't leave the home for more than a couple hours for errands when I'm sitting. If your needs require something different, I am able to be flexible. We have a doggie door here and an ample fenced yard. I also have 2 other small dogs to keep yours company and play along with. I sometime book two families at once. If one of the dog families is a repeat client, and I have confidence the mix will work, your dog may get an extra playmate or two. If you are uncomfortable with that possibility, just let me know so I don't double book. Because I care for many dogs, please be sure your pups are up to date on their flea treatments to ensure we keep the environment comfortable for all who pass through.

“In a last minute scramble Taylor was able to watch Eli and house sit for us. She was very flexible and we appreciate her showing our pup so much love. 10/10 recommend! Thank you again!”

Caitlin M.

“Julia took great care of my cat and dog. When my dog had a minor injury (not her fault) she was communicative and professional in handling it and keeping me informed. Would book again.”

Blaine A.

“This was the second time Alexandra took care of our dogs and cat. Both times she took excellent care of our pets. She provided updates and included pictures. Would book with her again.”

Kellie J.

“Layla and Gracie were incredible! We came home to some very happy boys and a very well taken care of home. They were very communicative and kept us updated with pictures, which we absolutely loved. We (and our pets) are very much looking forward to working with them again!”

About: I have been in the veterinary field for 10+ years working for a non profit organization. I have been house and dog sitting for the past 10 years on the side for mostly the same clients. I send daily pictures and updates, and hardly leave the house when I'm sitting unless otherwise specified or asked. I want to keep you and your fur babies as comfortable as possible. I am able to administer any kind of medication needed such as oral, injectables, or even special ointments. I can help with any special needs, and am always aware of schedules for feedings and any special diets. Early morning walks or late night potty breaks are not a problem and I am available for whatever may come up. I work mostly from home with the occasional day or two in office which means I would be able to provide the most care and attention. During the week, M-F, I typically only provide sitting but may have an occasional drop in. I follow all rules and will never have guests over, unless otherwise specified, to ensure your pets are comfortable in their own home. I am very cautious with pets when going on walks.

“Thank you Brisha for taking extra good care of our girls while we were out over the 4th! It feel good knowing they were in good hands while we were out. Will definitely plan on rebooking with Brisha on our next trip!”

Allison W.

“Jennifer was great! Let me know when she was coming and going and sent pics.”

About: Being a bilingual pet sitter allows me to connect easily with both pets and their owners. I have a natural ability to bond with animals, making them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. Each pet is unique, and I adapt to their needs—whether they crave playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. I carefully observe their behavior, ensuring they feel at ease. Beyond feeding and cleaning, I focus on trust and security. The best moments are when a once-shy pet finally warms up to me. Pet sitting isn’t just a job; it’s about creating meaningful connections with with your pets. 🐾💕 Being a musician gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for pets.

Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life, and I cherish every moment of it. As someone with a flexible schedule, I provide pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes. Since I currently don’t have a pet, I can welcome pets into my home, where they have space to feel comfortable and enjoy my yard. This setup allows me to give them dedicated attention in a calm environment. At the same time, I understand that some pets feel safest in their familiar surroundings. My flexibility allows me to meet them in their own home, keeping their routine intact and ensuring they feel at ease. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize their comfort, care, and happiness.
