Pet care experience

I love all pets like they’re mine!

I’ve always loved being around animals and I feel like this is an awesome opportunity for me to meet even more amazing pets! One of my dogs from when I was younger had diabetes along with my family cat now and taking care of them (giving them insulin shots, medicine, etc) only made my love for animals flourish even more! I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, fish, a lizard, and a bunny; I will gladly take care of any pets you throw my way. I understand that your pets are your babies, and will do everything in my power to treat them as you would. I look forward to meeting and developing a relationship with you and your furry friends, and hopefully they’re excited to meet me too!

August was amazing! We got the best videos of our dogs while we were out of town! I could tell they were well taken care of!

Could not recommend August enough. August was prompt, communicative, and absolutely great with our anxious dog. We definitely traveled confidently knowing our animals were in good hands! And we LOVED the video updates August provided!

We we're consistently impressed with the level of care, communication, and reliability throughout the month of August. Updates were always timely, thoughtful, and detailed—giving us real peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that a genuine effort is made to go the extra mile, and it doesn’t go unnoticed. The consistency, attentiveness, and care have made this experience truly exceptional. Thank you again for everything

August is a fantastic pet and house sitter. We have a dog and 5 cats and most of the kitties are quite shy. They all came out of their shells for August! Great with updates and communication. Our babies were so well taken care of and we are so appreciative. A++++++++

August was amazing! She stayed in our home and took care of our dog, Luna. August sent us pictures and videos of our pet every single day. She kept us posted on a regular basis. Not only that, she treated our home with respect and it was very clean when we returned. I would definitely recommend her and hope to see her again when we go out of town in the future. Thanks, August. I think Luna misses you. Wishing you a great 2025!

August is by far the best sitter I’ve had. Having an elderly dog who is blind, August handled with ease. Constant updates, and left everything as it was before I left. Will absolutely hire again and again

Schedule

I currently work 35 hours a week in Austin. Typically I work 8 am - 4 pm Tuesday to Saturday, with an hour long lunch that I can come back and let any dogs out if need be. I get my schedules about 8 weeks in advance. If you reach out to me early enough I can request whatever hours work for you (a longer lunch midday, etc) Whether they be high energy or cuddly lap dogs, I will gladly have the time to do what’s best for them.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
August can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
The most important question: Are they escape artists? Always the first question I ask, other than that, is your dog potty trained? Do they have any special needs, or things they prefer? Are they scared of anything? Do they have any habits that could be perceived as strange (biting, licking, scratching, coughing, etc?) Is there anything you’d like to tell me? What does your schedule generally look like with them?
