About: I take in a family dog alot and have my own kitten, they get along and my babies know theyre in good hands and so are yours !! I work and go to school full time & i cut my hours at work to study more. I have more time to fit in a few hours of my day to help others who cant get to their pets routinez I know how important it is to feel at ease when someone else is caring for your pet. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family member feels happy, safe, and loved. Ensuring pet friendly space and supervision, offering fresh water, making time for play or walk, gives animal the attention needed and can send updates to owners.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the majority of my life. I enjoy spending time with any animal, but I’m mainly a cat person. I’d love to care for your feline friends! Afternoons and evenings work best for me at this time, but I have a flexible schedule and I can work around your pet care needs. I am available to care for your animals at your home. I can give as much time and attention as needed, and I am committed to their happiness and comfort.

I am currently working part time but will be starting school in the fall so Im available Wednesdays-Sundays after 12pm Wednesday and Fridays: Evening shifts only (2pm-8pm) Saturdays: Morning shifts only (8am-12pm) Sundays: Both morning and evening shifts. (8am-8pm) Strongly prioritize a stress free space by following specific care routines and keeping the environment super clean. My experience at the kennel and at PAWS means that I am aware of safety procedures and keeping an eye out for health changes.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little kid! Whether it’s dog sitting for a neighbor, family friend, or family member. I love being around animals and enjoy the company! I also volunteer at the Austin animal humane society when I have free time :) I currently work 730-4 every day, Monday-Friday. I work in the office 2-3 days out of the week! I am flexible to your schedule though :) I currently live in a bedroom apartment with a dog park in the complex as well as plenty of trails around to walk them and make sure they get their exercise :) I also have a 1 year old husky/white Pyrenees dog who loves to make new friends and play!
“Tierney was soo good to our girls while we were away. Showe up when she was supposed to and even stayed a little later to help let us know we were having an issue with our air conditioner. She fed and let the dogs out exactly how instructed and worked well with our schedule. Can't wait to use her service again soon!”
“David helped me with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He's watched Sam multiple times, and that was comforting. Plus, David made the trip on a day when we were getting hit by a snowstorm. I'm grateful for his help and care with Sam.”
About: I have grown up with a family of many people and even more dogs. I have dog sat for my family and friends for the last decade. I have given daily medicine and injections to miniature pinschers, German shepherds, and Boston terriers. I have walked large dogs and small. I love sharing a bed and chair with all breeds. I love running and jogging and entertaining dogs. I am available 24 hours on the weekends. During the week I work virtually. I love having the company of dogs and cats. Walks are so much more fun with all four-legged friends! I am available after 5 pm during the week and any time on the weekends. I would love to meet your pup or kitten ahead of my first walk or drop-in visit. I will make sure that your animals are comfortable with me before approaching them in your home. I will make sure to remove my shoes and to dry your pup's feet (if you would like) before returning inside after a walk.
About: Los amo con mi vida son la Mejor compañía que pueda existir, no espero menos de ellos su fidelidad, son únicos y merecen Mucho amor compresión y ternura. Llevándolos a pasiar caminar es vida y salud, para ellos la mejor medicina es el amor y la compresión, escuchando sus necesidades y dándole mucha atención.💘👑🙏🏻 Atendiendo sus necesidades siguiendo indicaciones de su amo, consintiendo sus caprichos, paseando por los senderos bellos de Chicago descansando en algún parque bello y leyendo algo bien bueno☺️😻
About: I’ve owned many dogs and have taken care of and pet sit for my family and friends. I really enjoy the company and the energy that animals bring. I will match that energy that they have. I am off of school for the whole summer. So I need something to do during the day so I do not go insane from not having anything to do. I love giving attention to my clients animals and make sure they are having fun and that they are comfortable. I make sure they have used the bathroom and I am also very good at reading the animals body language. I have been around a lot of animals as I’ve grown up.
About: I have had plenty of different experiences with dogs ranging from larger, lower energy breeds like a Newfoundland to higher energy breeds like German short-haired pointer as well as other breeds like English sheep dogs, Malinois, and shih tzu's. I engage with dogs whenever I can, and I simply believe that all they need to be happy is to have someone with them that wants to spend as much time with them as they do! I currently work part time, but I have lots of open time for walks, typically in the morning or later in the day (work shifts usually last from 3pm until 7pm). I have a very high energy dog (German Short haired pointer), and I have had him since 2020, and he was a nightmare to train, but now I feel like a super mom when it comes to dogs because I have yet to meet another dog anywhere near the craziness of this breed.
About: I’ve had many pets since the age of 6 years old and I’ve always had an absolute love for any and all animals out there. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule for every one needed. I’m available on weekdays (Mon-Thurs) from 12pm and weekends (Fri-Sun) after 5:30pm. I have many experiences with caring for other owners’ fur babies in their home and I’m as respectful as I can be in their houses. I can send many pictures if the client needs them in order to be comfortable.
“Coretta always does such a wonderful job with our cat! We have now booked with her multiple times and our cat (who is not a huge fan of other people) really likes her. She is very conscientious about everything and making sure we know exactly how he is doing. She sends photos, detailed reports, and all of this gives us a lot of peace of mind knowing we will come back and find a happy cat (as we did this time as well). It is great that she is so responsive and helpful because it means we can leave him knowing that he will be in good hands with someone who truly cares about him. If you are looking for a good sitter who is going to take the time and effort to get to know your pet and who will take great care of them while you are away, we definitely recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I have walked them, bathed them, cuddles , massages, gave medications you name it. I absolutely love the feeling and genuine love that dogs give so I protect and love them at all cost! A stay home wife with no children home currently, so I’m free a lot! Needing a new hobby I enjoy to consume my days now. I have small babies so the house is already baby proofed! Also can purchase whatever is needed to make them feel comfortable! Not big on dogs being in crates and cages but if that’s what your prefer that can be arranged as well! Long as the dog is comfortable I am happy!
About: I've taken care of dogs both large and small. I've owned a small dog of my own for 13 years and am able to care for senior dogs with medication requirements. I regularly sit my sisters 2 very high energy dogs and will go for multiple walks a day. I have a 2 year old shih tzu who is the friendliest pup and gets along with almost all dogs! Im currently working part time, short shifts at a salon but am able to come home to take care of dogs. I also have a camera setup to be able to check in and get alerts when there’s movement. While visiting your home, Im always respectful of the rules you have set for your dog(s), as well as those set for myself. I prefer to keep a closer eye on dogs inside if they have a tendency of getting into things not meant for them. I love to be outside as well, so many walks, trips to dog parks or just playtime in the back yard will be a priority on my list when caring for your pet(s).

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life. Close family friends have trusted me to watch their animals for them. I love animals so much and enjoy their time.

I love dogs and have a somewhat flexible class schedule to take care of yours! I can’t wait to have a dog of my own but shorter term stays with pets is the best I can manage at the moment.

Hazel is who you want to book if you want a worry-free dog sitting experience. My drop-ins require quite a bit of detail and Hazel had no problem with caring for my pups the way they are accustomed to. She is punctual and communicates. She is a genuine dog lover therefore I know my Pit Bull & Mountain Cur are in good hands with her. My pups are high energy and it didn’t faze Hazel one bit. Locking Hazel in as one of my trusted caregivers. 😊
Devin made my new dog sitter search effortless which I greatly appreciate. She comes with a genuine love for dogs allowing me to work without worry. She was punctual and attentive to my pups needs. I highly recommend her services. Thanks Devin for putting my mind at ease by caring so well for my fur babies. 💘💖💞🤎
Brandon was absolutely fantastic! He took wonderful care of our pets and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our animals as if they were his own. We loved receiving updates and knowing everything was going smoothly. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pets made all the difference. It’s not easy trusting someone with your furry family members, but Brandon exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional pet sitter. We will definitely be using his services again in the future!
