House Sitting Hyde Park

“Erin took wonderful care of Buttercup and of our home. It was clear that Buttercup was very happy and comfortable with her. We loved receiving daily photos and updates. Our home was in excellent condition when we arrived back. We look forward to having Erin watch Buttercup in the future.”

“Jolene was wonderful! Very communicative, took great care of our boys and left our house looking just like when we left. I’m so appreciative of her, she made our week long vacation stress free!”

Sydney D.

“Emily was great! My pup is now 12 and can be a stubborn girl on walks. She was patient and learned her tricks to have a great stay! My dog was a happy girl!!”

Shannon B.

“Probably one of the most communicative and understanding sitters we've ever had and I'm SO thankful! Especially when our last potential sitter backed out on us last minute and I was scrambling to find someone to cover all my senior animals and stay at my house with just a week notice. So thankful Rev could be that person! He and his fiance took great care of our babies and they put the house back just as they found it before they left. There were a few little communication errors but seriously no big deal and I'll just make sure my instructions are clearer next time. Rev really loves animals and that's so important in a sitter. Your babies will be in good hands. Thank you!”

“Grace was amazing as always! She’s very communicative and genuinely cares about animals. She gave me peace of mind while I was away by sending continuous updates and pictures! She took great care of my home, and I’ve already booked with her for my next outing ♥️”

Julia T.

“I highly recommend Adam for any pet sitting needs. He watched our cat, Mabel, for a couple of nights while we were out of town. He sent lots of pictures, asked thoughtful questions, and most importantly won over our temperamental cat’s affection. Adam was easy to coordinate with, and I will definitely be reaching out again!”

Katharine L.

“Avery was great! On time, communicative, extremely friendly with both us and our dogs. Also left the house clean and respected our space! 10/10”

Nicholas G.

“Mo provides 5-star service — to my dog, and to me. Communicated well, sent photos frequently. I knew my dog was happy and felt safe when I got photos of him belly-up and relaxed. Mo house-sat for five days and it was clean and well cared for. I highly recommend Mo, and will be using his services in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️”

Pat K.

“Miles was so great with Kip. He walked him, went lots of pics and took absolutely fantastic care of our house too. Will absolutely book him again.”

Jake L.

“Kalyssa was awesome! Our pets loved her!”

Nycolly H.

“Zoe was incredibly attentive, caring, and gentle with our dogs. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable and happy, and I felt completely at ease having her in our home. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I would highly recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!”

Kevin C.

“Mya was great! She went above and beyond while caring for my cats. Highly recommend working with her.”

Grace T.

“We had a great experience with Debbie! She was very communicative and kept us updated the entire time we were away, sending frequent pictures and thoughtful notes. What meant the most was that I truly felt like she cared, not just about their basic needs, but about their entertainment, comfort, and overall health. We came home to happy, well-loved pets and total peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again 🤍”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years, and it all started in an unexpected place: babysitting. As a junior and senior in high school, I was one of the rare male babysitters in my community. As families began traveling, they trusted me to house sit and to care for their dogs as well. From there, word-of-mouth spread. Throughout my life, I’ve consistently cared for dogs and other pets for friends, neighbors, and family — whether that meant daily walks, overnight stays, or longer vacation care. In parallel, I’ve spent years working with professionals as a corporate training facilitator / trainer, and years volunteering as a storytelling and improvisation teacher in K–12 schools, universities, and at nonprofits. This background has made me especially communicative, attentive, and calm under pressure — qualities that translate directly to excellent pet care. I’m new to Austin, which is why I’m creating this profile — and I’d love to spend more of my time doing what I’ve always done naturally: caring for dogs with patience, presence, and genuine affection. I treat every pet as if they’re my own, and I pride myself on being reliable, observant, and responsive. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and provide regular updates so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands. I’m attentive and present on walks — not distracted — and excited to explore Austin’s dog-friendly neighborhoods and trails. Additional notes: - Non-smoker (no smoking in your home or in my home) - I’m attentive to routines around feeding, walks, and rest. - Experienced with longer stays (1–8 weeks) Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I work remotely part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I plan my schedule intentionally so pets receive attentive, unrushed care, and I’m able to adjust easily to each dog’s existing routine. I don’t overbook and make sure dogs are never left waiting for walks, meals, or attention. Care in Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and environment. I carefully follow all care instructions around feeding, walks, medications (if applicable), and house rules. I’m respectful of your home, keep things tidy, and provide attentive, present care rather than rushed visits. Care in My Home: When caring for dogs in my home, I create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment that mirrors their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, rest, and play, and I adjust care based on each dog’s energy level and personality. I live near a dog park and take dogs on regular walks for exercise, enrichment, and fresh air. I don’t overbook, so dogs receive focused attention, supervision, and plenty of companionship throughout the day.

“Sarah was great with our two very large dogs! They loved her, and one of the two is less than impressed with most people - he loved her. She sent us tons of pics, was extremely communicative with us, and followed all of our instructions to a tee. We won’t hesitate to rebook her!”

About: I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, where my early-morning shifts included cleaning, feeding, and supervising group playtimes with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m also a longtime pet owner - my cat, Nico, came to me as a stray kitten, and my dog, Dotty Parton, started as a foster and became a permanent part of the family. I work as freelancer, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to accommodate pet care throughout the week. I can often adjust my day around appointments to fit your pet’s routine. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, and I understand the trust involved in having someone care for your animals while you’re away. I’ve used pet sitters for my own pets, so I know how important it is to have someone who is dependable, communicative, and treats your home with care.

“It was our first Rover for our 8 month old pup and it went well! Kaile went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and receiving updates on how it was going. We highly recommend her and would be happy to use her again!”

Jessica S.

“Rachel was awesome! She was happy to swing by for a last-minute meet and greet before I left on my trip, and my dogs had an excellent time with her and Mardi. Communication was prompt and friendly too. Will definitely have her back here!”

Christy C.

“Ashley was an amazing sitter for our little dog. She has great energy and he loved her. She was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We loved her and will definitely have her come stay again!”

About: I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know each dog and follow their owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to make every walk, visit, or stay a positive and stress-free experience. I’m attentive to details such as feeding routines, exercise, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions. I also believe communication is very important. I’m happy to keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident knowing their dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available to dedicate time and attention to the pets in my care. I offer walks and visits based on my availability. I’m responsible about scheduling and communication, and I will always make sure I understand your pet’s routine and needs before providing care. I’m also happy to discuss specific schedules in advance so we can find what works best for both you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and take the time to understand their pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs before providing care. During walks, I stay attentive to my surroundings and keep pets secure at all times. During drop-in visits or house sitting, I treat your home with respect and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, food, bathroom breaks, and companionship they need. I believe trust is earned through reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I’ll keep you updated during the visit or walk and am happy to send photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
