“Cydney did amazing!! Kept in touch with me the whole time and was even available last minute! Also, lulu had upset stomach and ended up puking during her visit and she informed me right away and cleaned it up. I definitely recommend booking her!”

About: With a B.A. in Psychology, I use my skills for patience and understanding with all types of pets. I grew up with small puppies and have two large dogs of my own that I have raised. Additionally, I have extensive experience in pet health and in caring for senior pets as well. Needs help with basic training skills? I got you! I’m happy to accommodate to your pet parenting style and your pet’s needs. I currently have free availability, and I love going for walks and spending time outdoors. I take into account the Texas heat when planning walks, but have found many other creative ways to enrich the minds of dogs indoors. I have two dogs of my own and although they have varying needs, we have found routines to help them thrive. I have experience caring for senior pets and young pets who are crated, but I am happy to accommodate to any requests made by the pet parents. I tend to avoid making corrections unless instructed to do so, and as a pet owner of a dog with severe allergies, I will only provide treats that are pre-approved or provided by the pet parents. Additionally, I am happy to offer basic cleaning such as wiping paws after being outside and cleaning and refilling water bowls and food bowls.

“I’ve used Krystal several times and she is the best. She takes such good care of my dog and gives me the best peace of mind. Anyone in the area should use her.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teeneager and have been a pet parent for just as many years. I currently have two boston terriers of my own, Cooper and Chloe. I'm semi retired and have lots of availability. i love dogs of all kinds and it gives me great pleasure to interact with and care for dogs. I will feed, walk, play with your dogs and administer any necessary medication. I'm retired so I can work around any schedule you need me to.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and caring for animals is something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, supporting mobility challenges, and providing a calm, patient environment. I know how important consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets who need a little extra attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. I currently have cats of my own but they are used to other pets in the home, including dogs. Additionally, I offer complimentary meet and greets prior to petting your pet, to see if it’s a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m able to interact with and love on your fur baby all day. I can also pick up and drop off your little one if need be. I do have a few cats of my own, so if you have a kitty needing care, it may be best for me to care for them in their own environment. My cats are used to other pets though, including dogs, so they are more than welcome in my home. I also have a fenced-in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around and live in a neighborhood conducive to walks.

About: Hi! My name is Kyrischa. Ever since I was a kid, My family and I have had dogs. I’ve always had love for animals and unfortunately my dog had passed away from cancer. I have been volunteering and fostering dogs at Austin Pets Alive, fostering four puppies making sure their go to a caring home.I want to help others with their fur babies and make sure they get the proper care they need. I am college student taking summer classes. And will be gone for at least 3 hours a day. I am mostly home all day to give enough attention, love, playtime, potty breaks and care for your fur baby. I have a spacious apartment where they can play and relax. They are allowed on furniture for cuddles and will make sure they feel comfortable in my home!!

“Great communication and follow-up. Thank you for helping us last minute and giving Doja your time & care while we were out! :)”

About: I grew up with two beagles from the time I was three to twenty-one. Now, I have two adorable cats named Flip and Frankie! Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their furry friends while they are away. I work remotely, so I am able for occasional check-ins, as well as early morning/late evening walks. I'm available to dog/cat sit in your home, and depending on the pet, can take out to play and walk. I have been an animal lover my whole life, so I take great responsibility in caring for other people's fur babies, as well as my own.

About: Growing up, my family always had cats and dogs around (indoor and outdoor), so taking care of cats/kittens and dogs/puppies is like second nature for me. Currently, I care for two cats named Lucy and Socks. I have experience with both sexes and every stage of cat/dog life from helping deliver and care for kittens/puppies, and helping with spay/neuter recovery, to understanding the sadness and pain of having to put down a pet for medical illness. I also have experience with fostering pets from animal shelters. I also have limited experience with reptiles and aquatic animals, such as fish, tortoises, turtles, and snakes. Furthermore, I am a CPR-certified and experienced childcare provider and pre-service teacher. So, if you need someone you can trust who cares for others, I'm your gal. I have availability all days of the week and am flexible with requested times. I'm currently taking a break from onboarding to focus on visits and pet-walking primarily. For any pets: I would strictly follow any directions given, such as walking times, feeding times/amounts, and active/play time requests regardless if they are in my home or the client's home. Sleeping accommodations will be made with the utmost comfort for the pet kept in mind. For cats: Same as above. I am also comfortable walking and bathing cats, if needed. Currently, my cats are fed with timed feeders, I clean their litter daily, at minimum, and will either give them one hour of outdoor time or playtime indoors (and of course cuddles as requested). I bathe them usually every couple of months when I notice they NEED it because otherwise, I am fully aware that cats bathe themselves.

“Kate is great, second time we have used her and she is great with the dogs and is very great with sending checkin pics. Will use again if she is available forsure.”

“We could not have asked for someone who would take better care of our cat while we were away on vacation for a week. Kimberly was kind and caring, and the updates that she provided were thoughtful and sweet. We will definitely hire Kimberly again to care for our pets anytime we go out of town!”

Jordan E.

“Sydney was great to work with! I needed a last-minute sitter with very little notice, and she went out of her way to make it happen. Even though we only scheduled a quick drop-in, she still sent several pictures of the pups and let us know when one of them refused to eat their dinner. It was so reassuring to know they were getting care and detailed attention. Sydney will definitely be my first call next time I need a sitter.”

Diana L.

“Emily did so great with my boy. He was well fed, watered, and played with. She was very sweet with him and I felt great leaving him with her.”

“Alexandria was such an amazing help during the holidays. I requested her for a last minute sit and she was eager and willing to come sit my furry babies. It was my first time using a sitter who I didn’t know, and she eased my nervousness with daily pictures and feedback of the animals. Highly recommended!”

“Corina continues to help Whiskey Jack overcome his walking issues and he is doing better every day! Her attention to his safety when they are walking really means a lot to us!”
