About: Hi! I'm a former elementary school teacher, mom, and lifelong animal lover. I absolutely adore meeting and spending time with animals. As the proud owner of 3 dogs: a German Shepard, Lucy who I call my "Velcro dog" and 2 sweet mixed-breed rescues, Cooper and Knox. I know how important it is to know your babies are being taken care of when you're away. I'd love to meet with you and your dog(s) to help bring you peace of mind when you can't be with them. I have a flexible schedule, so I am available throughout the day to check in on and walk your dog(s). I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that best suits your needs as well as your dog's. I am happy to follow any routines and procedures you have in place for your dog for feeding, sleeping, etc. Whether it's crating them, feeding them at a particular time, playing with them outside or inside, and of course, giving them plenty of belly rubs (and treats if they're allowed). Over the years, I've had dogs who required daily medication, so I am familiar with administering meds if needed as well. My goal is to ensure that your dog is safe, healthy, and happy and I can send updates to you as well for peace of mind.

About: Hi there! I’m a work-from-home cat mom in Lago Vista with 10+ years of cat experience and grew up with dogs. As a mom to five different cats, I get how unique each pet’s routine and quirks can be. I stick closely to your instructions- meds, feeding, whatever your pet needs, keeping things calm and low-stress. I only take local clients so I can be consistent and present. Since I can’t have a dog right now, time with yours is my puppy fix; I love all animals. You can expect clear updates, quick responses, and care that’s genuine and dependable. I work from home full-time, and care for our five cat babies along with my husband. Because of my schedule, I can offer flexible and reliable care for your babies while you’re away. In your home, I follow your instructions and treat your space with respect, noting hiding spots, food preferences, and behavior cues to keep your pet at ease. Meds are given carefully, on schedule, and I stay alert and communicative to any changes in health or behavior. Whether in my home or yours, my priority is a calm, therapeutic experience for the fur babies.

About: I have a few years of experience caring for pets for people who trust me with their animals. I’ve handled everything from daily feeding and walks to giving pets companionship, playtime, and calm energy when their owners are away. I’m attentive, patient, and great at understanding different personalities, whether they’re energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. I always make sure routines are followed and pets feel safe and cared for. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday but I work hybrid so I have some extra flexibility to pet sit when I can! I also have ample time on the weekends :) When I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely — from feeding schedules and litter or potty routines to favorite toys, treats, and habits. I make sure the space is safe, calm, and clean, and I give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and reassurance. I’m respectful of the home I’m in, and I always take my time to make sure pets feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away.

About: At Fur & Feathers, every pet receives personalized care, whether they have paws or feathers. I provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight boarding in a safe, loving environment where your pets feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable here and for you to feel confident leaving your dog with me. I’ve been around dogs for many years and truly enjoy caring for them. I understand that each dog is unique, so I keep things simple, comfortable, and as close as possible to what they’re used to at home. I have experience with senior dogs and special-needs pets, and with administering both oral and injectable medications. When your dog stays with me, they’ll receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, supervised yard time, playtime, and moments to relax. I also send photo and message updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate your dog’s routine. I aim to keep feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and medication schedules as close as possible to what they're used to at home. For boarding, dogs get regular outdoor time in the fenced yard, attention throughout the day, and a relaxed space to rest. . I maintain a clean, non-smoking home with a fenced backyard where dogs can play outside safely. Before a stay, I like to learn about your dog, including their feeding schedule, sleeping habits, medications, and interactions with other dogs. I introduce dogs slowly and pay close attention to how each dog is feeling. I don’t force dogs to interact if they prefer to have their own space. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages during their stay.

“Nicole has been fantastic to work with. Our fur baby is such an important part of the family, we are always cautious of whoever is caring for her. Nicole is not only very kind & professional, but also reliable and flexible. She administers our pups medications, spends quality time playing/walking her, and also has been kind enough to clean her up if she happens to get dirty. Our dog loves her! I can’t rave about her enough, we are so grateful to have found her! 10/10 recommend!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and there’s nothing I love more than making a dog feel loved unconditionally, safe, comfortable, and cared for! I enjoy getting to know each dog personally—learning their personality, what makes their tail wag, and all the little things that make them unique. Whether they’re into walkies, belly rubs, Treatos (treats), learning tricks, or simply being their goofy, lovable selves, I’m here for it! I love using treats and positive reinforcement to build trust, get to know each dog, and make our time together fun and comfortable. My goal is to build a genuine relationship so they feel comfortable with me and know they’re in good hands while their human is away—whether they’re at work, running errands, traveling, or simply out and about. I’ve had three dogs of my own, and I know firsthand how much they can bring into our lives. Dogs aren’t just family—they’re companions, comforters, best friends, and sometimes the little bright spot that makes an ordinary day feel a whole lot better. That’s why when your dog is with me, I want them to feel like they’ve got a second home away from home. I’m proudly Cedar Park local and love caring for the dogs in my community. Send me a message to set up a meet and greet—I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! One of my favorite things about doing Rover is that no two days are exactly the same. I get to meet new dogs and their owners, learn their names and personalities, and take on the responsibility of caring for each one based on what they need. Every dog has their own story. Maybe they came from a shelter, were found as a stray, came from a breeder, or found their way into their family another way. No matter where they come from, they all deserve to feel loved, safe, and cared for. I love making sure the important things are taken care of, from their food and water to walkies, playtime, favorite toys, and their normal routine. Whether I’m filling their bowl, grabbing their favorite toy, going on a walk, or simply sitting with them, those little moments can help them feel more comfortable and at ease. When they start to relax, let their guard down, and feel safe enough to be themselves around you, you can really see that weight come off their shoulders and their anxiety start to ease. Every dog is different, and I love getting to know each dog and finding little ways to help them feel comfortable. Some dogs are ready to be your best friend right away, while others may be a little anxious, nervous, or unsure at first. That’s completely okay. Sometimes it can take a day for a dog to really settle in and feel comfortable, and I’m happy to give them that time. I don’t want to rush them or expect them to immediately act like everything is normal. I’d rather let them warm up at their own pace, give them some extra patience and attention, and help them feel safe enough to relax and be themselves. If your dog has a favorite walk, a certain feeding schedule, needs extra attention, loves a specific toy, or just likes to do their own little thing, I’m happy to follow their routine and give them the care they’re used to. I know those little routines can make a big difference when their human isn’t home, and I want them to feel as comfortable and at ease as possible. Dogs have always brought so much joy and companionship into my life, and I love having them be a part of my day-to-day life. There’s just something about a dog that can brighten up a whole room and make even a rough day feel a little better. They can bring comfort when you’re having a bad day, help lift your mood, and sometimes all it takes is a happy tail, a cuddle, or that goofy, cheesy smile to make you smile right back. Whether they greet you with excitement, curl up next to you, or look at you like you’re their favorite person in the world, they always seem to have a way of making you feel special and bringing a little extra happiness into your day. I’m on disability, which gives me some extra flexibility and time to work around your schedule and your dog’s routine. I’m local to Cedar Park and available for part-time pet care, so I can often work around different schedules and make things a little easier for you. Whether you need someone while you’re at work, running errands, going to a doctor’s appointment, traveling, or you just need a little extra help, I’m happy to be there. My goal is simple: for your dog to have a fun, happy, and comfortable day, and for you to feel good knowing they’re being cared for, getting the attention they need, and feeling safe and loved while you’re away. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! I provide personalized care for each pup, including medication management and extensive experience caring for dogs with seizures and other medical needs. I give lots of attention, well-fed meals, walkies, playtime, cuddles, belly rubs, and fun doggy adventures. I treat every dog just like my own while keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and loved!

About: If you're looking for a reliable and consistent sitter to follow detailed step by step instructions then I'm the sitter for you! I have about sixteen years of experience with various ages of cats and dogs, specifically chronically ill and picky eaters! I can weigh and measure out food and medication, I can record times and send pictures, I can sing and dance (not well), I can run or walk with your pet, and I can read a room and bring whatever energy your pets needs to the space that day! I'd love to be a part of your pets life! Thanks for reading! I work full time but it's a very flexible remote home job. I can take time to drive short distances and walk your pets on my lunch breaks if needed. N/A- I'd be going to your place. Tidy out your medicine cabinets (just kidding, I promise to respect your privacy and treat your home like the safe space it is for your precious animals!)

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs in my life. I grew up around all kinds of animals so I have a lot of experience taking care of them. Friends and family have relied on me to feed and walk their dogs. I just finished a summer of seasonal work in Yosemite national park and am in between summer and winter jobs and I am looking for a side hustle while during these few months of limbo. I have had animals since I was a little. I have cared for them all my life and I have a lot of experience with that.I used to babysit and sometimes dogs were also apart of that so although I have never watched dogs specifically I am very comfortable around them.

Abraham and Andrea did an amazing job taking care of Bukka. Our pup can be a bit stubborn and usually doesn’t warm up to new people easily, but Andrea went above and beyond. She brought treats, patiently waited for him to feel comfortable, and even offered to return later if he wasn’t in the mood for a walk. Her kindness and dedication really stood out, and we’re so grateful for the care they provided. We will definitely rebook for more pup walks in future. She also sent pictures regularly and also kept us informed about how bukka is doing and surprisingly also made him play. This should the secret superpower as animal whisper.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
