“If you have a large dog who is reactive on walks, Jade is the sitter for you! This was my first time using Jade to housesit while I was away and the worst case scenario happened, two off leash dogs rushed my reactive dog while on a walk. Jade handled it like a pro and reported everything to me after. She kept calm and handled my dog like an expert which lead to nothing bad happening. Thank you, Jade, for keeping my dog and the other dogs safe!”

“Caralisa took such great care of our kitty, we are definitely booking her again!!! Thank you for going the extra mile and giving us peace of mind while away on vacation🤍”

“Alivia did an amazing job with my reactive, 60 lb Old English Sheepdog. Willa took to her immediately, which is rare and means she has the BEST vibes. She stayed with Willa in our apartment while I was out of state, gave regular updates, wasn’t afraid to ask questions, and I arrived home to a happy, healthy sheepdog and a clean apartment.”

“Tina was a great housesitter for our two dogs. She met with us a few times before the stay to meet the dogs and learn their routine. During the stay she sent us daily pictures updates. She followed their food and medication schedule and made us feel comfortable that our boys were in good hands. The house was very clean when we returned. We would use Tina again.”

“Madeline has ways been great with our fur babies. We had used her for several day-sits when our pup was "little". Our first overnight was worry-free because Madeline does such a good job taking care of our dog and cat. She left the house clean and tidy. Would highly recommend Madeline.”

“Elene was amazing! She was communicative with any questions she had for us and sent regular updates with pictures of our pets. She took great care of our pets which gave us that peace of mind knowing our pets would be well taken care of. I would absolutely request Elene's services again.”

“Ada did a terrific job. She and my dog, Pinot, bonded well and she was wonderful in caring for him and my house. I felt really comfortable leaving everything in great hands while I was out of the country for a week. We were able to remain in contact and she sent me periodic updates and a few photos as well. I highly recommend her services and hope to schedule her again for a future engagement.”

“Cassandra house sat for our two dogs in our home while we took a weekend trip. She took great care of them and even stayed at home with them the whole weekend which was great for Black Jack’s separation anxiety. She sent photos and updates and followed all of our instructions to a T, including brushing the dog’s teeth. The house was also in good shape when we returned. We would happily use Cassandra’s services again!”

“Ariana did an amazing job caring for Phoebe while I was away. This was my second time having Ariana help out with Phoebe. Great communication and attentiveness. We truly appreciate all of your help.”

“She was really great with our puppy. He did not want her to leave because he was having so much fun. She really takes the job professionally and even had a plan for our dog and gave him some really good one on one training. We would highly recommend Kelsie.”


“Amy house sat our two big dogs while we were out of town. She is a fantastic communicator and she clearly loves dogs! She is very professional and thorough, asked us tons of questions about our habits and preferences regarding our dogs. While we were gone she sent photos daily and little updates. Highly recommend, will definitely use again! Thanks Amy!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals and believe every pet deserves the same care, attention, and affection they get at home. I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime to older pets who need a gentler touch. I’m active and love going on walks, but I also know how important cuddles, patience, and routines are for pets to feel secure. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company, I treat every pet as if they were my own I am a stay at home mom, so I can easily be with your pets all day! I am very active, so I love to take walks and do lots of potty breaks. We have a fenced yard so they can play outside. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I make sure the environment is clean, pet-friendly, and free from hazards. I keep a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime so pets feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I always respect their space and follow their instructions closely, from feeding schedules to favorite walking routes, to keep things as familiar as possible for their pet. I also send regular photo and text updates so pet parents have peace of mind knowing their furry loved one is happy and safe.
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies and senior pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, long walks, and keeping pets on their normal schedule to reduce stress while their owners are away. I’ve also helped reinforce basic training with puppies, such as leash walking and consistency with commands. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give to each pet. I treat every animal like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, not just watched. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners always feel at ease. I’m also patient and adaptable, which is especially important for nervous or older pets who may need extra time and care. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine, and I prioritize being consistent and reliable for every booking. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as overnight stays when needed. I make sure to plan my day around each pet’s routine so they receive timely feedings, walks, playtime, and attention. I’m also available for last-minute bookings when possible and committed to maintaining a dependable schedule that keeps pets comfortable and stress-free. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, and I stick closely to what they’re used to. I prioritize safety by keeping a close eye on pets at all times, making sure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure, and removing any potential hazards. I’m also respectful of your home and keep everything clean and organized while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have grown up around dogs all my life, with that my family has also boarded some of our family friends pets. I have always had 2+ dogs in my house (different breeds as well) and am use to being around dogs as well. I am very consistent with walks/bathroom breaks and feeding time. Currently, at my house in Austin I have a rescue mutt and 2 giant English mastiffs (both over 200lbs each) but have also had very small dogs such as shitzus too. I am vegan and have so much love for animals!! Would love to help you out in any way and make more dog friends :) I am about to graduate in June and have open availability while I am here for the summer!! I do not plan on getting a job while I am here until August so can work around your schedule! I also have a car as well that I can have dogs in I love animals, especially dogs! I make sure that I listen to the owner and I follow directions/ advice very well. I also love to walk (or run if your dog is into that) and can do that multiple times a day!! I really want to make sure that it’s not only a peaceful time for you but also for your furry lover one too!
About: At this point in my life, I have cared for almost any domestic, exotic or farm animal that one can run into! Time spent working with snakes and spiders in a reptile shop, working on farms with cattle, goats and chickens, and caring for everyones furry companions like cats, dogs and rodents in homes has left me feeling well prepared to handle whatever critters come our way. My remaining pet is Sharkbait, a 9 year old heeler mix, who has been the everywhere and everything dog with me for the last 8+ years. She has met all of the above animals in her time and is the ultimate friend to all. As a retired service animal, she is kind and intuitive while responding calmly to reactive animals she meets. This makes her the perfect travel companion and buddy for all your babies and she will always be with me on sitting and walking jobs as she and I like to stay very active, walking anywhere from 2-6 miles daily together. Lets chat about your animals specific needs and background! Being active is a huge part of my day and I love making sure your animals are included in that! Walks to the park and jogs around the block are my favorite way to keep your pets focus while expending that pent up energy. For homebody pets I love a good puzzle or snuffle toy to keep their minds working in their safe space. Meet and greets together as a family are priority so that when you're out of town or at work, your pet(s) can trust Sharkbait and I are there to support them. Any candid tips and tricks around behaviors or routines are welcomed.
About: From moving worms off the street to asking to pet every dog I meet to volunteering at farms, loving animals is part of who I am! I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets from lizards and snakes to senior, sick, or disabled puppies, I will take care of your pets no matter the needs. I’m currently working part time as a Home Care Worker, so I have a super flexible schedule and I’d love to fit it to your needs! I have mostly experience taking care of pets in their own homes, from feeding and medication to overnight and walks, I’m willing to meet you wherever you’re at for whatever you need!
