Pet care experience
I have over 13 years of experience working with animals, most of it being through dog walking, volunteering in animal shelters, fostering, pet sitting and of course with my own furry babies. My experience ranges from newborn to senior dogs and cats in a very large variety of sizes, temperaments, and breeds, as well as experience with rodents and livestock, administering medications, and pets with special needs or injuries. A little bit about me? I work with for Austin Police Department, regularly volunteer with Austin Animal Center in many different roles including care for ICU patients, underage kittens, large and small dog walking and enrichment, and outings with dogs. I live in North Austin and have 3 dogs and 2 cats! As a pet parent myself, I understand how much peace of mind a trustworthy, reliable, and good-hearted person can bring when our lives get busy and we need help caring for our pets, which I hope to provide for you. For many years I have been able to deliver exceptional service to my clients and their specialized requests during my visits, so no matter what your pets needs are, I am sure I can provide a happy and successful visit beyond my time with your pet! I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends! With my rotating work schedule each month, I will admit I’m not always the best at keeping my Rover profile schedule updated - though I try my best. I am very flexible in working with my clients and recommend reaching out to me to confirm and discuss availablility for your requests! For pet sittings I do NOT spend the night but am happy to do at least 3 visits a day spending much time with your pet during each visit. I treat each pet as if they were my own and truly find it such a pleasure and blessing to be able to work with so many different clients and their furry babies. FOR BOARDING SERVICES: Pets MUST be spayed and neutered, up to date on all vaccines, good with other animals, and house trained. I will not consider any bookings that do not meet that criteria. All pets must come with adequate supplies of food, collars, leashes, and bowls. Thank you in advance! Here’s what some of my previous clients have said: “Kacie cares for my pup as if she were her own. She sends detailed reports and does everything to make sure Kepa’s visits are fun and successful beyond her time with her. I really appreciate the effort Kacie puts into being the best out there!” - Krista S. “Kacie is by far the best walker we’ve had! We have two 4 month old puppies so it can be nerve wracking but Kacie is extremely attentive, trustworthy, and caring. I love the detailed report card with their activities too! A+ hands down, thank you Kacie!!” -Stephen N. “Kacie was great. She went the extra mile with potty training, extra TLC to the older dog and a variety of different walking spots. I loved getting the daily updates and pictures. Helped to be relaxed as well as feeling connected to them.” - Janet G. “Kacie is great. She is super caring and has a great memory for our specialized asks. Always excited when she is available to walk Dobby!” - Kaitlin B.
Reviews
Kacie took great care of our pup while we were out of town. Would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you!
If you’re wanting housesitting and you’re ok with 15-30 minute visits 3 times a day... then Kacie is the sitter for you. Our dogs are crated however, and it was unsettling to think they were being kenneled for 22+ hours a day. That being said, they were “technically” cared for, just not what we were looking for in regards to time being spent with them. I think “housesitting” should differ from “drop in visits” personally. Will not be using her services again.
Kacie was awesome! She gave us updates and pictures every day and made sure our doggies were well taken care of! Will definitely ask for her to sit for us again!
Kacie did a great job and Roxy had a wonderful time with her!

Information Kacie S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know start and end time frames for the requested days for sitting and drop in visits. Access information, how many pets, where supplies are, feeding measurements and any possible allergies or triggers that need to be noted are all pertinent information to my success with your pet(s). If any medication is to be given, I need to know how much of it and how frequently. For all services, I’d like to know your pets normal routine so I can help keep him or her stress free in the time that you’re gone.
A typical day
I spend my time with your pets meeting their current fitness, social, and health levels. My goal is to provide the safest and most fun time for your pet as possible while you’re away. At the discretion of the owner, during my visits, I can do outings (i.e. ice cream, trail walks, etc.) as I similarly do for shelter pets at AAC, jogs, several walks a day, etc. Weather permitting, of course. We can play games, hang out on the couch together, get lots of belly rubs and even brushing out! As each pet and their interests and needs are unique, so are my visits!
