Boarding • Aug 07, 2026

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.

Took great care of my dogs! Very responsive and were accommodating when I needed to change my drop off time at the last minute. Nice people and my dogs came back happy and healthy. Will definitely be booking with them again.

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.

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.
