About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, I am comfortable handling animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Throughout my life, I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, livestock, small animals and more. This diverse experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique needs and behaviors. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely strolls, playtime, or simply some extra companionship during the day, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual personality. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same compassion, respect, and attention I give my own. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 I am an entrepreneur and home schooling mama. I spend most of my time outdoors on my quiet, humble 10 acre property, with all my animals. I mostly work from home and sometimes in and out of the house for work calls. I have a beautiful, large fenced in deck that overlooks our property canyon. Additionally, I have a chain link dog run right off the deck. I regularly exercise my pups around the property as well. My personal dogs (3 Dachshunds and a Golden Retriever) spend most of the day outside playing on the deck and sun bathing. They have access to clean water at all times. I generally crate the smaller dogs at night. My cat prefers my daughter’s bedroom, so he’s rarely seen. I am happy to accommodate whatever needs and requests you have for your pet.

“Patrick is super nice! My dog totally enjoyed his stay.”

“If you're scrolling & not sure who to choose...look no further. Leilani is the only pet sitter you need. An exceptional sitter who goes above and beyond. Her love for animals was obvious from the moment I contacted her. She treated my pet with so much care, patience, and genuine affection. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. I received thoughtful updates, and my pet was calm, comfortable, and well‑cared‑for when I picked her up. A true professional with a big heart. Mario”

About: As a life long dog owner myself, I understand the importance of providing a safe and protected environment for your pet along with exercise and attention. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt my availability to your specific needs whether you are taking an extended vacation or just an overnight stay. I've been caring for pets for many years and understand how important routine is. I am available to stay in your home to maintain that routine or provide drop in service.

“Brandy always makes sure that Ladybug has a good time at daycare! She gets a fun time with the other dogs and a walk. She comes home ready for a nap! And she always looks forward to it! Brandy is the best!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It just comes naturally to me. Today I share my home with Arya, my 5-year-old Shorkie, two little kids, and a fully fenced yard where dogs run free and feel at home. Your dog won’t just be “watched” here — they’ll be loved. I work from home, so your pup has my attention throughout the day. I’m available all day with occasional short outings for my kids’ activities Your dog is treated like family from the moment they arrive. Arya and your pup will have a fully fenced yard to roam and play freely. I provide regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always know how your fur baby is doing. Every dog settles in at their own pace and I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in our home.

“Luisa was so sweet and easy going. My dog had a great time with her dog for the day! We will definitely book again if we are in the Austin area.”

About: I grew up on a farm and always had animals with me, I've taken care of animals my whole. From ducks to dogs!! My life is animals. I'm currently working PT so I have lots of free time after and before work and on weekends I don't work at all! Very open! I love dogs and cats and will care for them if they are or aren't mine! I have rescued many animals and saved them! I am a caring person, i've watched many dogs and cats before, changing water, walks, and following the special requests they give me since all animals are unique. My backyard is a porch that's fenced in.

“My dog loves it. Laura and her family are great with my dog.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for more than 35 years, but my experience goes well beyond owning pets. For two years, I was one of the general managers of Care for Dogs, a large rescue organization in Chiang Mai, Thailand, caring for roughly 200 dogs with a team of about 20 employees, volunteers and visiting veterinarians. My role covered nearly every part of rescue operations: daily care, medications, veterinary appointments, fostering, adoption placement, behavioral evaluation, rehabilitation and end-of-life care. I personally fostered approximately 30–40 dogs and helped place more dogs into permanent homes than I can count. I also coordinated the international relocation of roughly 20 rescue dogs from Thailand to adoptive homes around the world, handling veterinary requirements, health documentation, vaccinations, airline logistics, crates, travel arrangements and adopter coordination. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need more attention than the average pet sitter may be accustomed to. I have extensive hands-on experience with senior dogs, anxious and fearful dogs, rescue dogs, dogs recovering from surgery and dogs with ongoing medical needs. My experience includes administering oral and topical medications, injections and subcutaneous fluids; assisting veterinarians during procedures; wound and post-operative care; mobility assistance; cones, bandages and stitches; overnight monitoring; hospice and end-of-life care; and recognizing behavioral or physical changes that may require veterinary attention. I’m also very experienced reading canine body language and working patiently with frightened, undersocialized, reactive or previously abused dogs. Building trust with a nervous dog is something I genuinely enjoy and am very good at. I am not a veterinarian or veterinary technician, and I never pretend to be one. I follow veterinary and owner instructions carefully and know when something is outside my role and requires professional medical attention. For owners of senior, special-needs or medically complicated dogs, I’m happy to provide detailed updates including medications, meals, bathroom activity, behavior, photos and changes I observe. I offer boarding, house sitting, daycare, drop-in visits and walks. I have reliable transportation and can assist with emergency veterinary transportation when authorized. I do not accept dogs with aggression toward people, dogs, or cats, or dogs that are not house-trained. Dogs have been a major part of my life for decades. I understand their behavior, their health and, most importantly, how different every dog can be. My goal is simple: when your dog is with me, you should feel confident that someone experienced, observant and genuinely invested in their wellbeing is looking after them. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so dogs in my care get plenty of attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. My partner also works from home, which means there is usually someone here, and dogs are generally never left alone for more than three hours. For dogs who need closer supervision because of age, medical needs, anxiety, recovery from surgery or other special circumstances, I can also arrange 24/7 monitoring for an additional fee. We live in a quiet lake community on Lake Austin, so our days can include neighborhood walks, Lakeway trails, Lakeway Park and plenty of relaxed time at home. For dogs who genuinely enjoy the water, and only with your approval, I can also offer swimming, lake outings or even a boat ride. I’m happy to customize your dog’s routine around what makes them comfortable, including feeding schedules, medications, frequent potty breaks, slower walks, mobility needs and extra one-on-one attention for shy, sensitive or senior dogs. My two dogs are Enzo, a mellow 10-year-old neutered Golden Retriever, and Bella, a sweet 2-year-old spayed Great Pyrenees mix. Both are gentle and friendly with other animals, and their calm personalities often help visiting dogs settle in. I also have a dog-friendly vehicle set up with ramps, beds and plenty of room for comfortable transportation. Basic grooming such as brushing and simple cleanups can also be provided when needed. Safety, Trust & Environment I live in a single-story home in a quiet Lake Austin community with a grassy, fully fenced yard. The one-story layout is especially helpful for senior dogs, large breeds and dogs with mobility limitations who may have difficulty navigating stairs. My home is shared with Enzo, my 10-year-old neutered Golden Retriever, and Bella, my 2-year-old spayed Great Pyrenees mix. Both are mellow, social dogs who are comfortable around other animals and tend to create a relaxed atmosphere for visiting dogs. I take introductions seriously and give every new dog time and space to adjust. I pay close attention to body language, stress signals, eating, drinking, bathroom habits, mobility and changes in behavior. With my rescue background, I’m particularly comfortable with dogs who are shy, anxious, older, recovering from medical procedures or simply need a little more patience. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and can maintain specific feeding, medication, exercise and recovery routines. I’m also comfortable providing detailed updates about meals, medications, bathroom activity, behavior and anything unusual I notice. Dogs are never pushed into activities they do not enjoy. Walks, swimming, lake outings, interactions with other dogs and other activities are always based on the individual dog’s temperament, health, abilities and your instructions. My goal is to make my home feel less like boarding and more like staying with experienced family.

“Stephanie is a godsend and I'm so grateful to have found her. I feel 100% confident that my dog is safe and happy in her care. Thank you for opening up your home and being so communicative. Rosie seems to feel right at home when staying with Stephanie and I've already booked multiple future stays with her. Choose Stephanie, she's the best!”

“Peggy is fantastic! She was patient with my little scared Maltipoo puppy. But after just one stay she now feels right at home and gets excited to go see Peggy and her new friends. :)”

About: I work from home, so I'm home all day with our mini Labradoodle—and I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog as well! I walk Luke twice during the work day and have a fenced yard where your pet can play safely. I look forward to the chance to meet your pup! I work from home during the week, which gives me the flexibility to take your pet on regular walks and give them plenty of attention throughout the day.

I know how important it is to keep them active, happy, and engaged.
