Westlake Dog-Loving Family

Pet care experience

My teen son and I share a love of dogs, so we dog sit for fun and to help him earn money. I am retired and my wife works from home, so we are home weekdays (we prefer weekday meet-and-greets if possible). We usually only sit for one client at a time, but sometimes may sit for neighbors or family as well (dogs we know get along well with other dogs). We have a very sweet, very active, non-dominant labradoodle puppy who loves having guest dogs to play with. We have been told our house is like Disneyland for dogs – we have dog beds upstairs and downstairs, a basket of dog chew and rope toys, a dog treat jar, have a large fenced backyard area, and we swim almost every day and love when a dog joins us in the pool. We have a great neighborhood for walks, and we sometimes hike the Barton Creek Greenbelt. We have a very flexible cancellation policy and can usually accommodate adding or removing days. We are located right off 360 near Westlake High School (a few miles from Barton Creek Mall).

Good communication and pictures/updates of Yumi while we were away. Yumi seemed happy and well taken care of.

Bill, Lee and their family were wonderful in watching Willie. Lots of activity with their dog Lulu we - which we could see via the Fi app. Their son Luke even gave Willie a bath before we picked him up. Highly recommend them!

Bill was the most wonderful sitter I’ve found in Austin thus far. He’s incredibly attentive and communicative. A bad experience with a previous Rover sitter last month had us nervous to try another, but Bill’s kind and pleasant manner, lovely home and yard, and all around effort gave us incredible peace of mind. Can’t thank or recommend him enough!

Bill and Lee were amazing! They sent us pics of our little pup and made us feel ok being away. They we’re extremely communicative and made our little guy feel right at home! Thank you for taking such great care of our pup! I highly recommend Bill and his family!
