“I cannot express how amazing Marissa has been!! My schedule has been insanely unpredictable and Marissa has been there for my pup throughout the whole thing. 1000000% recommend.”
About: Hi, I’m Hanna! I’ve been caring for animals since I was a kid, starting with feeding my neighbor’s 17 koi fish every morning at age 8. I’ve had dogs my whole life, including a Jindo and a Corgi that I raised from six months old. Today, I live with two cats and a puppy (all adopted from Austin shelters), so I’m very familiar with different animal personalities and needs. I recently volunteered with the Austin Animal Center, where I helped care for cats and matched them with adopters. I’m comfortable handling pets that are shy, energetic, or just need a little extra love and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I’m known for being reliable, calm, and detail-oriented. I’ll make sure your home stays secure and that your pets are happy and relaxed while you’re away. I will always treat your pets like my own, with lots of love and safety precautions! I am between jobs so I have all the time in the world to care for your babies. I am flexible based on your schedule. My cats are escape artists so I have become accustomed to making sure the house is always secure. I am always on the lookout for items that my cats may get that could cause them injury. I’m strict about safety in my own home when it comes to my pets, and you can expect the same for your place.
About: My day job at the hospital I work at is to feed my patients, groom them, clean up their poop, take them on walks, etc. I can’t wait to treat your pet with the same level of care :) I have had pets throughout my childhood, and have always taken a very active role in their care. I love animals and I am heartbroken that I am not at a stage in my life where I can commit to my own pet, but I would love nothing more than to spend time with yours. Additionally, while I am new to this app and have not professionally pet sit before, I have pet sit for my neighbors and friends countless times throughout my life. I work 3 12 hour shift a week where I will not be able to care for a pet. However, since I can work any three days of the week, I can care for one pet with no work commitments for as long as 4 days. My schedule varies, but please reach out and I would be happy to plan something. I'm mostly just doing this because I want to hang out with animals and without committing to getting my own pet, as I will be starting grad school next year and will not have time to care for a pet once that happens. In other words, if I'm caring for your pet it's not because this is a job for me. It's because I really want to hang out with your pet I have every intention of spending all my time and effort on them.
“Kody walked our dog Mac for several months. He was reliable and very responsive through texting and was always on top of his schedule for when he could/couldn’t walk our dog. Kody is the exact type of person you want to have taking care of your furry loved one!”
About: I've had both small and large dogs since I was a kid. My sister had a Golden Retriever service dog most of my childhood and I was able to pick up on dog behaviors very quickly. I currently have a 7 month old miniature dachshund named Ozzy who I have raised and trained since 8 weeks old. I'm very comfortable with puppies and can crate your pet if necessary! I am able to devote my entire day to making your pet comfy! I can also run out and take your pet's on a walk, pretty much any time of day! I have a full fenced backyard and a 2 bedroom house that can be used to separate animals as necessary! I will have my dog and two adult cats around who are happy to give a new friend a cuddle or an engaging play time!
“Sarah was wonderful with my dog and also fantastic to work with! She is extremely responsive and reliable. Her communication is excellent (including lots of details and photos after each walk)! I will happily book her again!”
About: I have more than two decades of experience taking care of my own cats and dogs. Additionally I have been a pet sitter for several of my friends, relatives, and neighbors over the years. I'm available most mornings between 8:30 and 11 and most evenings between 8 and 10. There will usually be one or two days a week when I'm available all day. I do not currently care for clients' pets in my home because I have pets of my own. When caring for pets in clients' home, I like to ask the clients about their rules and routines and follow those.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life- with experience ranging from puppies to older animals 16+. I also have experience with birds! I am comfortable with administering daily medication and post surgical care as well. I have a flexible daily schedule for any pet care needs that arise during the week or on the weekend. Available for short visits, walks, or play care in my home. Would also be comfortable taking care of your pet in their own environment. I have two private fenced yards available that are shaded by large trees, mowed zoysia grass, and a large and clean play area that is turfed. Pets are welcome both inside and outside throughout the day. I am able to let pets out for potty breaks and walks in their own home throughout the day as well.
“Meg was absolutely wonderful with Mika. She clearly loves animals and was patient with my senior dog. She was communicative, reliable and sent cute pics. Greatly appreciate her!”
About: Animal care is what I love to do! I graduated from UVM in 2022 with a degree in animal science and now work as a veterinary technician and pet sitter. Before my role as a vet tech, I had experience as a kennel technician and a veterinary assistant, working with both dogs and cats. I make sure all pets under my care receive timely feedings, medication, and exercise. Just as my own dog, Tommy, is entitled to my love and attention, your pet will receive that very same level of affection. For house sitting dogs during weekdays, I like to stay within a nearby radius so that I can let them out on my long lunches. While caring for your pet in your home, I will carefully follow your instructions to ensure that they feel safe and loved while you are away. Depending on your pet’s preferences, I am happy to give them long walks, trips to the nearby park, cuddles, or playtime. Cats welcome too of course!
About: One dog or a few. Cats, let’s go! I’m here to help out and be your left-hand when life pulls you away. I’ll always send you an update after our meets, so you feel confident and secure in my service. I'm currently working part-time and have plenty of time to care for your pet. Right now I am open to all times/days and homestays if needed. I am very active and love to travel, so I understand the need for a secure sitter you can feel confident about. I am a dog mom myself, and he only deserves the best - just like yours does. Whether you need someone to care for your energetic pup or watch over your farm for a long weekend - I’m your person!
About: I've watched my friend's dogs for the past ten years. From puppies to adult dogs, from tiny dogs to big dogs, I've met them all and love to spend time with them. Would love to drop in to feed your dog, take them out to potty, for a W-A-L-K, or get their energy out with some play time. I'm free all day M-F until the end of August. Starting September 2, I'm available starting at 3 pm and will update my calendar to reflect that. I respect that when your pet first meets me they might be a little weary of this new weirdo in their space. I will make sure your animal feels nice and comfortable with me so they can trust me to check in on them, feed them, take them potty, out for a walk, or for play. I'm a very cautious person so you can trust I will always have your pet on leash if I'm taking them anywhere beyond your backyard.
“Erin has been so wonderful with my two dogs! We just moved to Austin so I was worried about finding someone I trust to walk them regularly. Erin is super communicative, an excellent dog photographer and the dogs seem to love her! So happy we found her.”

Collin E.
“I can’t recommend Collin enough! Not only is he passionate about caring for animals, but he’s also incredibly patient and understanding of their needs. My cat is pretty grumpy, and he’s wary around new people. He gets anxious easily, so I tend to not bring him around others for extended periods of time. I recently experienced long-term power outage from a hailstorm, and I let Collin watch the cat while I figured things out. I was pleasantly surprised to see how fond my cat became with Collin! It’s clear that Collin does a fantastic job in bonding with any pet he watches, and my cat has since always been happy to see him!”
