About: My partner and I work from home full-time, so your pup will never be left alone or bored. We care for dogs of all ages: from playful puppies who need lots of attention to senior dogs who need extra patience and love! <3 Our home is fully set up for dogs: a cozy low couch with plenty of blankets, an assortment of toys, a fully fenced backyard for playtime and squirrel-watching, and a safe, video-monitored enclosed “dogio” for sunbathing or quick potty breaks. We specialize in creating a stress-free, engaging environment for pups who may be anxious, shy, or high-energy, giving them the exact attention they need to feel safe and happy. Because we work remotely, pet care is a natural part of our day. I spend most of my time working from our big, comfy couch — usually with a dog curled up next to me or across my lap. We take potty breaks every 1–3 hours and allow pups full access to the enclosed dogio at all times. Play breaks, belly rubs, and cuddle sessions happen often throughout the day. We have two friendly, social chihuahuas who love to nap and play, and they’re always excited to welcome a new friend. Safety is our top priority: our yard is fully fenced, our dogio is secure and video-monitored, and pets are never left unattended outside. I’m happy to send daily photos, videos, or even quick updates from our pet cams so you can feel confident your pup is happy and safe.

“Lindsey is kind, knowledgeable, and fun, all perfect attributes to help take care of your pets. She met us last minute after another sitter had a family emergency and we felt at ease with instant trust when she met our dog Maggie. Lindsey clearly knows what she is doing and helped make Maggie’s days so much better with each visit. If you are looking for a professional and kind person to trust with your pets, look no further.”


“We’ve had Holly & Brady to check in on our dog multiple times now. I think our dog may like them more than us! Couldn’t ask for a better couple to love on our old man while we are gone. Highly recommend!!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from 10 lbs to 130 lbs. My last dog was a 130 lb Mastiff Pitbull who was with me for 12 years, and I’ve also raised three Boxers over the years. I’m comfortable with large breeds, energetic pups, and everything in between. I only host one dog at a time so there's no need to worry about your dog while you're away. I'd be happy to host two dogs from the same home. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just giving your dog a calm, loving place to relax, I treat every pup like family. I genuinely love dogs and make sure they feel safe, seen, and spoiled while you're away. I work from home Monday through Friday and typically take a walk first thing in the morning and can bring your dog with me. I usually at least take a quick walk during the work day. I then go to the gym or hiking after work about 4:00. I'm back home in the evenings. 0n the weekends I have time available to walk your dog and I stay very active if they need exercise. We have plenty of activity and play time. I have fenced yard and big 3000sq foot home with plenty of space to play or relax. I have fully fenced backyard and plenty of experience walking all sizes of dogs. I live in a five bedroom house by myself except for when my daughter or my son are there. Dogs welcome to sleep on their own bed in my bedroom. I also have a dog room upstairs with a big window and real bed thats low to the floor for them to sleep if they can't be left out and would prefer not to be in a crate during that 2 hours I go to the gym.

About: I've been watching my friends and family's dogs for years. In St. Louis (where I'm from) I regularly volunteered at a local dog rescue and served as a foster home. I am very neurotic about my dogs' care, and I will be about yours too! Your pups will be in great hands - I have two very social pups myself, a fenced yard, filtered water (only the best!), and your pup will receive LOTS of attention while staying with me, or if I am just dropping in! I work M-F full time, with two remote days per week. When I'm not at home, I have doggie cameras inside my home to keep an eye on my dogs, and yours! I have a secured, fenced in yard your pup is welcome to run around in with my dogs. I give my pups freedom to roam when I am home or gone, but I will respect whatever you would like me to do with yours. If you preferred them crated, that's no problem. My dogs are allowed on furniture and beds.


“My senior dog gets very anxious when she's out of her element, so when I needed to be out of town for a few days, I decided to keep Gracie in her familiar surroundings and use Jenny to make several drop-in visits each day. Gracie and Jenny hit it off immediately when they first met, so I was completely at ease during my trip. Where communication is concerned, Jenny was responsive and professional. She did all I asked regarding Gracie's care, and she sent me a photo after each visit. Gracie could not have been in better hands!”

“Madyson was great! She did a drop in visit for my pup and gave my pup lots of attention and playtime while she was here! She also gave me a thorough rundown of what they did during the visit, which I appreciated. I would definitely book Madyson again!”


About: I’ve loved all animals for as long as I can remember. I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up but when I couldn’t reach that goal I became a vet tech instead. After being a tech for 8 years I decided to start my own pet supply business. When I’m not meeting pets at events I love to walk and spend time helping people take the best care of their pets possible. I work full time running my fun traveling pet boutique, in my off time I love to dog walk for exercise and to help Other pet parents that don’t always have the time. I treat every single pet I meet like they are my own. Trust me she’s nothing but spoiled and loved 🥰 I can administer meds, give all the head rubs and belly scratches needed and show all the care for your special furry family member. Every pet deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.

About: Growing up with five dogs taught me that pet care is about understanding each dog's unique needs and personalities. Dog-sitting for two years has expanded my expertise with different breeds and temperaments. I ensure every dog feels safe, loved, and cared for. Pet care is my passion. Im currently off on Mondays and Tuesdays from 6-3pm and I wanna be able to take time to help take care of your pets when In need! When taking care of my clients pets at there home I wanna make sure they feel as comfortable as possible and making sure they have enough time outside and doing there normal routine! And what type of food they eat and at what times just making sure there happy and healthy!

“Erika took great care of our kitty! You can tell she really loves animals, and our cat warmed up to her instantly! We loved seeing all the pictures and reading our little guy’s report card after every visit. She took the time to write detailed notes each time, which really helped us feel more at peace, and she was so easy to communicate with! I’d recommend Erika for all pet-sitting needs, and would be happy to have her watch our cat again in the future!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and family since I was 12 years old. I would feed, bathe, walk, clean up after, and play with their pets. My personal goal is to always leave the pet and home in a better condition then when I found it. I typically work from 11-5 Monday through Friday. This would give me time in the mornings and evenings to help care for your pet or pets. When I care for pets at my clients homes, I make sure that the fence is closed and secure before letting the dog out. With cats I keep all doors closed. I clean up after dogs drink water and do their business. I also clean up kitty litter as well. I make sure to play with the dogs out side away from breakables and I play with cats inside away from breakables. I give both cats and dogs meals at a timely manner and will not hesitate to ask questions or bring up concerns that may come along. I am there to make sure your pet has an enjoyable time and that your home and pet stay is great condition!

About: Hi, I’m Ash 💕 — a devoted mom of two wonderful teenagers, lifelong animal lover, and rescue advocate who understands how much your pets mean to your family. With over 8 years of early childhood education experience, I bring patience, structure, and deep care to everything I do—whether with kids or animals. I provide calm, consistent, and loving care for dogs, cats, birds, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. From senior and special needs pets to active companions, I’m experienced in medication administration, nail trims, wound care, and working with reactive animals. I’ve even rehabilitated and rehomed injured wildlife, so safety and trust are always my top priorities. When your pets are with me, they’re treated like family—because I believe caring for them is an extension of caring for your whole family. Let’s connect and discuss how I can provide your pets with the love and attention they deserve. I work in the North Austin area near the Anderson Mill area so I have some flexibility around lunch time Tues-Thurs, however my free time typically is bulked on a Friday-Monday basis. With that being said, I will do my best to be as flexible as I can! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family - well sometimes better, but we won't talk about that 😂 I have a calm, friendly senior German Shepherd who gets along well with other dogs, many rooms for dedicated cats to stay in without disruption, a spacious fenced backyard for playtime and potty breaks, and plenty of cozy spots (including the couch!) for supervised naps and downtime. I also have a large crate that comfortably fits dogs up to 120 lbs for those who prefer or require crate time. I keep a clean, safe environment and adjust care based on each pet’s unique needs—whether they’re playful, anxious, older, or need medication. In your home, I follow your routines and preferences closely to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m experienced with all kinds of animals, including those with special needs, and approach each visit with patience, love, and reliability. Whether your pet is with me or I’m visiting them in their space, they’ll be cared for like one of my own—with kindness, consistency, and lots of affection. Just message me to discuss what the best fit for your animal might be! 🥰

About: I currently have 4 dogs who have had several ear infections and other illnesses so I am used to giving medicine in ears and mouth. I am extremely good with animals and have always gone above and beyond for them! I will treat your pet with patience, care, and attention to their unique personality. I’m the kind of sitter who sends updates, plays their favorite games, and stick to their routine! Your peace of mind matters just as much as your pets happiness. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can focus fully on your pets needs without rushing. I can structure my day around your needs. I am used to being around all types of animals and all situations. My Australian got neutered recently and I had to take care of him, my Shih Tzu lost his eye due to infections and it was a month long recovery where he needed around the clock care. I can take care of your animal in the worst situation or their best!!!


About: i have owned dogs all my life and think they are definitely man's best friend. After having not so great experience at kennels, I looked into DogVacay and loved it. I realized that it is a way for pet owners to have the freedom to travel without worrying about their dogs safety and comfort. Since I am retired, I thought it would be something that I could do to supplement my income and also, something that I would enjoy. I have a home with an enclosed yard and a little mixed schnauzer that loves the company of other dogs. I would look after your pets like they are my own, because I know how they become like one of your children. I would play with them and take them on walks in our quiet, safe neighborhood. I am retired, so have lots of time to spend with your pets. Although I love being retired, I need to be busy and spending time with dogs, is something that I enjoy. So it's a win, win situation for everyone. I have a large backyard, with new fence. Your dogs will be safe and free to run a d play. Have one small dog, so your pet will be able to socialize.
