Dog Sitting Manchaca

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life and have always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust to care for their pets. I currently have three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, feeding schedules, giving medication, litter care, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility for check-ins and pet care throughout the day. I know how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I work from home, with a pretty flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate all different times and lengths of stay. Additionally I have my own vehicle. In your home I will follow all given instructions, respect you and your pets space and ensure your animals are cared for just as you would.

“Emily was so easy to work with and my dogs seemed to have a blast with her! Very kind and accommodating would definitely work with her again!”

About: My love for animals consumes a great part of my heart! My pet services are intentional and kind, as I seek to adhere to your personal care taking expectations and show up with a gentleness and genuine desire to treat your fur-child as if it's my own. I am self-employed from my home which allows me to maintain pet care easily throughout the week. I purposefully never take on excessive pets so that yours gets the attention it needs. I value integrity in my work that both you and your pet will experience. I'm self-employed and easily care for animals from the comfort of my home. I have much flexibility in my job to accommodate for walks, outdoor breaks, or stopping by your home. My home has a gated outside area if your pet needs bathroom breaks and fresh air regularly. I do have two small Scottish terriers of my own who get along great with other dogs and welcome an extra dog into their spaces. I live in a neighborhood with shaded areas for daily walks and I am about 2 minutes away from a gated dog park for extra exploration and exercise if that's needed. Your caretaking routine and expectations for safety are my top priority in caring for your fur-baby. As a dog owner myself, I know what it's like to need to be assured your babies are in good hands and are getting the attention and love they need. It's my aim to adhere to your expectations to the T, be it at your home or mine. I purposely do not take in numerous animals into my home to be able to keep my focus and attention on your pet. My hope is for you to really tell me what you need and I'll meet you there, with the upmost respect for your pet and your emotional comfort while away.

“Alyssa is the best sitter. We have used rover in multiple cities and she is top notch. We have used her multiple times and she is super professional; from communication to the way she treats your pet and home.”

About: I have pet sit for multiple friends and family members. People would describe me as responsible and reliable! As an educator for over 10 years I am a natural caretaker! I am a teacher so my typical schedule during the week is leaving the house by 7, home by 3:30-4 most days, more flexibility on weekends and holidays/breaks. My home has a doggy door for my roommates’ two (friendly) dogs. I make sure to care for her pets as if they were my own, walks, checking water and food.

“Amazing dog sitter!!!”

“Itzel was amazing! She took care of Simba well and was very quick to respond to my messages. I had put incorrect time for a visit by mistake but she was very understanding and cooperative. Will definitely recommend her service!”

About: I’ve had experience pet sitting as well as pet owning. I’ve also done a microchip and tagging clinic at the Austin Animal Center. I have two dogs of my own - 8 and 16 - so I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages. I have full time classes during the week, but I am free Friday Saturday Sunday for house sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins! If you have more questions about my schedule or anything else, feel free to reach out :) I make sure to put equal time and care into every pet I work with. I have great attention to detail, a compassionate gentle demeanor, and a love for all animals. I always take pride in providing the best pet care I can.

About: From taking care of our family-friend's pets to helping with my best friend's cat, I have experience with all types of dogs, cats, and personalities! I am also comfortable with all-size pets. I'm currently in grad-school working part time. This means I have flexibility between class days and my part-time job. I am a hard worker that can juggle my responsibilities. Thanks, mom, for that! As a dog owner, I understand how important our pets are. I treat every pet how I would like my pet to be treated. This includes taking it easy and slow when meeting your pet for the first time, paying attention to surroundings (i.e., loud noises, other dogs around, no exposure to toxic foods, etc.), and paying attention to your pet's body language. As someone with a reactive dog, I understand that every dog's personality varies and requires different needs.

“Great !”

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of dogs at home my whole life, and have dog-sat many different breeds for family/friends. I have experience living with dogs of all sizes, as well as cats. I don't currently have a pet with me in my apartment. Any pets I've grown up with are back at my parent's house (an 11 yr old Shih Tzu and a 7 yr old Corgi Australian Mix). I'm currently a masters student and would be happy to dog-sit for anyone available. I have experience caring for pets, both my own and those of friends, while balancing my responsibilities as a student. I always make sure the pets are comfortable and have everything they need. I am very timely about taking them out to use the bathroom, as well as give them meals at the time families request. I'm here to adapt and adjust to your pets' needs, and also give cuddles and playtime.

About: We each have many years of experience caring for pets! Kate grew up with rescue dogs and cats around the house and Joe grew up with dogs. We've cat sat for friends a number of times over the years, both at our home and in theirs, always ensuring their cats were well attended to and plenty of pictures sent to their owners! We also had a senior cat for four years that we loved and learned how to care for with her different medical needs (arthritis, kidney problems, limited mobility, etc). Joe works remotely and Kate works part time so pet care would fit rather seamlessly into our routine! There are odd weeks here and there where I'm gone for a day or two or he is but the other is there to pick up any slack. We have a nice little backyard area that any outdoor pets would enjoy during their stay. We also love to go for walks around our neighborhood already so pets that need walking would be easy to fit in for us, too. We love the experience of having pets in our home. We love being able to play and entertain pets, whether it's playing fetch outside or directing a cat with a laser pointer. We'll communicate with you as much as possible up front to ensure your pet is getting what they need, whether that is at our home or yours!

About: I’m especially comfortable caring for adult and senior dogs, including dogs who need a little extra patience, help getting around, regular medications, or a consistent daily routine. I understand that older dogs can have their quirks, changing appetites, mobility challenges, and very specific ideas about how their day should go, and I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m attentive, reliable, and big on keeping pets comfortable and their owners informed. I’ll follow feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions closely, and I’m comfortable adjusting activity levels for dogs who would rather enjoy a slow sniff around the block than run a 5K. I’m not currently taking puppy-care bookings, as puppy training isn’t my area of expertise. My sweet spot is providing calm, dependable care for adult and senior dogs while keeping their normal routine as intact as possible while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility to keep pets company throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. I’m able to accommodate regular potty breaks, walks, meals, medications, and plenty of attention between meetings. My schedule is generally predictable, and I’m home most of the day during the workweek. That makes me especially well suited for dogs who are used to having someone around, seniors who may need more frequent breaks, or pets who simply prefer a little extra company. I’m also happy to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. If they eat at 5:30 sharp, expect a lunchtime stroll, or have claimed a specific spot on the couch as sovereign territory, I’ll do my best to keep life feeling normal while you’re away. Safety and comfort come first. In my home, dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for supervised potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of sniffing around. I keep a close eye on pets outdoors and make sure gates and doors are secure before letting them out. Because I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to provide regular attention, monitor how they’re doing, and keep their normal schedule as consistent as possible. I’m especially mindful of senior dogs or pets with mobility issues who may need extra time, shorter walks, more frequent breaks, or a little help getting comfortable. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s routine and instructions closely. I want your pet’s environment to feel familiar and predictable, and I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I’d expect for my own.

“Chelsea is absolutely amazing! She is great about keeping me up to date about each visit and I know my cat is in exceptional hands while I’m away. 10/10 would recommend!!”

“Sierra is a true cat whisperer. She did a wonderful job. She is kind and easy to communicate with. I think my cat misses her already. 5 stars!”

About: My name is Abigail, and I have two dachshunds names Coco and Addie. Addie is 13 years old and Coco is 12. I love my dogs and I know how stressful it feels like to have to leave your babies in someone else's care. I hope to help alleviate some of that stress and to have a good time with your pup! I am available 7 days a week for drop in visits and dog walks or trips to the park. I can also help with medication and wound care on a case by case basis. Please reach out to me if that is something you need help with! While your dogs are with me, I will give them lots of belly rubs and ear scratches, and we will have fun playing together. I will send you pictures and updates of your dogs enjoying themselves during our time together. I am looking forward to having fun with your dogs! Thank you for considering me! I require harnesses for dog walks for my safety and for the safety of your pups as well! If you do not have one of your own, I will use one of mine that I bring with me. Please let me know if your pups are reactive to other dogs or environmental factors (bicycles, skateboards, wheelchairs, etc). This will not prevent me from caring for your pup but will help me care for them better and safer! I am typically available any time on weekdays for drop in visits and walks, and am available 9am-9pm on weekends for drop in visits and walks. If you have needs outside of these hours, please message me and we’ll see if we can work something out! I like to establish trust with your pup with treats and love before we leave for our walk. I’m also happy to just play with them in the home if that is preferred.

“I sincerely want to thank Katherine and Zach for taking such wonderful care of our two dogs while we were away. They were always punctual, kept us updated with regular pictures and messages, and made sure our pups were happy and safe on their walks. Despite a number of accidents, they never complained. Instead, they went above and beyond to clean up and take care of everything with kindness and a smile. We truly appreciated their patience, reliability, and genuine care for our dogs. I would highly recommend Katherine and Zach to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitters. Our pups were clearly in great hands!”
