Highlights
Pet care experience
Spacious backyard, Welcoming home!
My wife and I have been pet sitting for 8 years, and are looking forward to meeting new furry friends. We have 1 dog and our 2 kids that have grown up with tons of guest dogs and love to play with them. We allow dogs on our furniture and treat them like family. We have experience administering medications and have hosted several dogs young and old.

Ratings and reviews
Boarded my dogs for a week and Desmond and Robyn were very communicative, flexible, sent lots of pictures, and took great care of my dogs. My dogs came back happy and healthy. They are my go-to dog sitters :)
Great experience. Love daily updates with photos!
Lucy was happy and well cared for- thank you!
Great experience! My dogs said they had a great stay. I was kept informed of their stay with daily pictures. Would book again!
Both Desmond and Robyn were incredibly kind and understanding of a very unique situation. My pug Mabel had a paw injury and needed to wear a cone while it heals, and also has to be given oral antibiotics twice a day. I had to go on a last minute trip to Houston for work during this time and was scrambling to find somebody who would take her in these conditions with less than 24 hour notice. This couple was quick to accept and had no problem taking care of her while I was gone. Normally pet sitters tell me that she is very shy and nervous during the first day, and send me photos where her tail is down, but this time she apparently had tons of energy and looked happy with the other doggies in every photo they sent! She also seems exhausted so I know she must’ve gotten lots of playtime haha. Even though this sitter lives a bit far from us, we are likely to book again just from how pleased we were with our booking :) Thank you guys.
Great experience, communication and outcome. Our dogs loved their stay! Thank you again for accommodating us on such short notice.

Schedule
One of us is home every day so the dogs get lots of attention and outside time. We are very flexible with drop-off and pickup times.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We offer in-home dog boarding in our home in South Austin. We have a nice sized yard with 6ft fences around. Our 2 kids who have grown up with dogs are very sweet with them and love to cuddle and play. The dogs are allowed on the furniture and can sleep wherever they are comfortable. We always separate the dogs during feeding time.
Pets
A typical day
We love to do fun activities with the pets we watch including fetch, tug of war, and going on walks around the neighborhood to explore the smells.
