“It was so reassuring to know that our dog was with patches and her little pack while we were on our trip! We got lots of reassuring updates, and we could tell that she stayed calm and had great access to a lovely grassy yard. We are all very appreciative and look forward to our next visit!”
“Elijah was amazing! He took excellent care of my pups, ensuring their special diet and medication needs were met. When I picked them up, they were happy and looked fantastic. Thank you again for taking such great care of them!”
“Anna watched my dog and cat for over two weeks and I’m so grateful that she was their pet sitter. Her and her husband are compassionate and accommodating so they went above and beyond to make sure my needy cat and my timid dog felt comfortable and had everything they needed. My dog rarely forms bonds with new people but she did with Anna, which spoke to how caring and gentle Anna is! I highly recommend Anna and have told all my pet parent friends about how great of an experience my pets had and how much peace of mind I had while away. Anna is kind, knowledgeable, diligent, and thoughtful - all of the qualities you’d want in a trusted sitter!”
“Aine and Jared (and Fionn their lovely pup) were just wonderful with Nala! They were super flexible with pickup and drop off and very responsive throughout the entire stay! They sent us photos and videos and ongoing updates and we received a happy dog that loved her stay there! Thank you guys again and I’m sure we’ll be back for our next getaway!”
“So please with Chad's care of Roman! Roman came back happy, relaxed, content which is important. Chad looked after Roman a total of 3 times when we were in Vegas and i was not disappointed at any time. Any travellers wanting a positive experience for their dog, Chad will not disappoint you. A very caring and polite young man who loves his work. Thanks again Chad!”
“Brett was so kind and has an amazing place to watch your furry little ones. He sent me daily updates and pics of Zelda which was very comforting. If you live in Austin, especially south, absolutely give Brett an opportunity to take care of your doggo.”
“Ivette is amazing! I had an odd situation where I was on vacation for a wedding and needed new boarding mid vacation and Ivette was so flexible, positive and informative. Communication was honestly above and beyond and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She even used one of her own slow feeders for my dog when she noticed him eating too quickly! So thoughtful! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“We had an outstanding experience with Alex & Monica watching our golden retriever, Aspen. We last minute needed someone to watch our pup for the weekend, and right from the beginning, it was clear they were intentional and genuinely caring in their approach. I included a care guide, and they clearly took the time to read through it and thoughtfully incorporate the information into Aspen’s daily routine. They took her on multiple walks and runs, brought her along to the farmer’s market, and sent frequent photo updates that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was also clear that Aspen received lots of attention and care throughout her stay because our pup looked happy, relaxed, and well-loved in every update. We’re incredibly grateful for Alex & Monica and would love to have Aspen stay with them again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Lilia is amazing. She took perfect care of polo and love him so much! He seemed so happy during his stay. Lilia gave me daily updates and photos which helped me! Thank you!!!”
“Jean-Paul and Andee are AMAZING! I don’t even want to leave a review because I want to horde them for myself 😂 I received so many great updates and pics of my dog while I was away, and it made me so relieved and happy. They also were able to pivot and handle some vet things that popped up unexpectedly. Your dog will be happy, safe, and well loved in their home! Cannot recommend them enough!”
“Fabulous sitter! Trustworthy, kind, and great communication. I knew my super-senior dog with impaired mobility was in good hands. Gail sent regular updates and photos and was flexible with drop off and pickup. Would definitely book with her again. <3”
“We had an amazing experience getting a last minute booking with Lily. She quickly arranged for a meet and greet for Goose and sent pics during his entire stay. Looking forward to booking her again asap!”
“Marissa was a wonderful sitter for Goose! She gave daily updates and pics, and seemed to be super comforting and considerate of him during this weeklong, rainy stay.”
“Absolutely amazing! Tyler went above and beyond with my Rey❤️ He told me stories about him and sent me pictures of him. Tyler is super flexible with time. I had a lot going on before leaving for a trip and ge was flexible with me and Rey. I appreciate him and how he treated my baby.”
“Helene was so sweet with our pup while we were away! She sent regular updates and pictures and made sure she was comfortable and eating well. We are so happy to have found Helene as a friend for Pepper when we travel!”
“Lynn was SO good with my boys! I am an anxious soul and I didn’t worry a bit while I was away. Not only was she immediately comfortable with them, but I mentioned some training issues and she had demonstrably helpful tips right away. She also told me some things she noticed while she had them that I hadn’t noticed myself! I am obsessed with my dogs and there things I didn’t know about (like suggesting an elevated feeder for my giant old man). They are actually better off having stayed with her for a few days! Even the meet and greet was efficient in a way that immediately told me she’s experienced. My wiggly guy is jumpy and not easy on leash and she worked around that perfectly. They were excited to see me, but I think were disappointed to be home and really, that’s the ideal 😂 I was at Disney and so were they! I cannot recommend Lynn enough for peace of mind. TLDR: she is a dog whisperer who will give you peace of mind and leave your dogs better than she finds them! ❤️ GEM”
“Sam was wonderful with my two dachshunds! She sent updates on the girls and was so easy to work with for scheduling. I felt 100% comfortable that my dogs were having a great stay and were in very capable hands. Both dogs came home happy and clearly worn out from an exciting weekend. We will absolutely use Sam again when we need a dog sitter!”
“Cassandra & Jason were great sitters for my dog, Luna. They were extremely communicative, quick to respond, and provided many updates throughout the weekend. When I picked up Luna, I could tell she would love to stay there again!”
“Sossi and her family are the best! She is so flexible and responsive and Cooper loves spending time there. She always sends recaps of his day and sends photos of him playing in the yard. She is are go to, trusted sitter!”
“So grateful to have found Gabriel and Savannah! So communicative and lots of updates and photos during Charlie’s stay. This was my second time booking with them and when we arrived at their home and Charlie saw Gabriel he started crying with excitement and couldn’t wait to jump out of the car to see him! He definitely enjoys his time with them and their pup! Thank you both so much.”

Ariel was so great with my pup. He is 100% blind and she navigated that with ease. Ariel sent regular updates and great photos/videos. I highly recommend her!
Maren was absolutely amazing with my little guy, and he was his usual happy self coming home! She sent update photos and notes that were thoroughly appreciated! Would definitely recommend and use again!
We left our 7 month old puppy with Elijah for 2.5 weeks while we were overseas. Elijah happily accommodated our request for a second meet and greet to familiarise Molly with his home. He is kind and Molly was well cared for. We came back to a happy and healthy puppy! Thank you Elijah for taking such good care of our girl.
Savannah & Sebastián are the absolute BEST dogsitters in Austin. I've used a number of great sitters in the past, but their level of personal care and communication with me was amazing. My pup can get overwhelmed in big groups but lonely on her own, so I was thrilled that they had a sweet pup of their own that quickly became best friends with my dog. Highly HIGHLY recommended!
Dona was wonderful and took such great care of my dog!! She sent lots of pictures and updates while I was gone which I appreciate so much!
Helene was lovely and so accommodating with our flight schedules. Jax had a great time relaxing with her while I was gone for the weekend. Very happy he had someone who kept great care of him!
Gabriel was amazing with my dog, Tank! From the moment they met, I could tell Tank was going to have a great time. Gabriel is full of energy and made sure Tank stayed active and happy , from fun walks to splash time with water and even playtime with furry friends. I really appreciated the updates and care he gave. It’s clear he genuinely loves what he does. Tank came home tired and happy, which says it all! Highly recommend Gabriel ; we’ll definitely be booking again
Sossi goes the extra mile for our senior dog Scully. She needs extra care sometimes and Sossi is always reliable while we are away from our sweet beagle. Highly recommended.
Our dog and us hope to have Anya and Rish look after her again. They took a genuine interest in her well being and care. She was pretty immediately at ease with them and enjoyed their company. Anya and Rish were responsive and communicative, attentive to her needs, sent excellent pics which allowed us to enjoy our time away. Our dog is pretty chill and easy going but at her age prolly no longer esp playful. They were OK with that. There are still ample people in the world who love dogs but they dont all want to look after yours. Anya and Rish oth do care and want to do right by your pooch.
Mika and Agnes got sick while I was gone, and Alexander took great care of them to ensure that they were on the mend and sent daily updates to keep me informed. Highly recommend.
Maria was great with watching Juno! Communication was super clear and Juno had a great time in her home :)
Willie had a great time with Andrea, communication and updates were top notch. She also was great at dealing with his medication and the special care he required while with her! Highly recommend!
Melissa was amazing with my dog! Super responsive, easy to coordinate with, and really thoughtful. My pup can be reactive on leash, but Melissa totally understood and adapted to her needs. Definitely planning to book with her again 🫶
Fabulous experience with Tiffany! She sent me lots of pics and updates of my marn marn to help me get through our time apart. It was a great fit!
Christy was awesome! Our dog looked so happy in all the pictures she sent and Christy clearly gave her a lot of special attention while we were away. She was super easy to communicate with. We hope to book with her again!!
Nohemy is a dream sitter! He went above and beyond, staying responsive, sending me updates and being amazingly accommodating when my travel plans changed. My pup, Lua, loved him from the moment they met. 100% recommend.
Rebecca is amazing with Leila! She keep her very active and is very communicative with us. She sends the best pictures of our pup playing.
Sofia did a fantastic job with a one day test board of Watson. Her dog Lola and Watson had a great connection. Very communicative and sweet person.
Michelle and her partner are the absolute best, some of the top rovers I’ve had. They handled my dog’s anxiety which such love, empathy, and care, communicating with me at the perfect level throughout. Penny loved being part of their pack and fit right in! I will definitely be making them my go to rovers from here on out!
Laura was great! She took great care of Penny, was very communicative, and has a great house. She updated me with pictures and other notes throughout the week which were much appreciated. I felt very comfortable leaving Penny in her care and would do it again!
