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.

Desmond and Robyn were great with Eva. They kept me updated with pictures and they were quick to response to messages. I would recommend them A+

My dog Ellie had a good time at Desmond & Robyn's place while I was out of town for a day! They sent pics of her and were easy to communicate with. Ellie must have played a lot with their dogs Foxy and Rocky because she had a good sleep after coming back home!

Desmond and Robyn were great. Sent photos and updates throughout Theo’s stay. He always looked happy in the videos. I picked up a pooped dog, I know he enjoyed playing with his new friends. Would highly recommend and hope to use them again in the near future

Thank you, Robyn & Desmond, for taking great care of our pups. We never worry about them while we have to be away. We appreciate you guys being a second home for them.

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.

One thing we like to know ahead of time about their pet is if they like to chew on stuffed toys or any other items.
