Safety, trust & environment

As someone who has used dog sitters, I know it can be nerve wracking to leave your dog in someone else's care. That's why I love to send photos and text updates multiple times throughout the stay, and am quick to respond to any questions. To me, pets are more like family members, so I want to make sure they're as comfortable and safe as possible. I have a large fenced in back yard, plenty of toys, and you can bet your pup will be invited onto the couch for a cuddle!

I'm an animal lover through and through! I adopted my dog Moose from Austin Animal Center 7 years ago, and have loved having her by my side. I love all breeds, have experience with puppies to seniors and have experience administering medication if needed. Looking forward to meeting you!

Maggie was wonderful! She sent lots of photos of Cooper throughout his stay and kept him very entertained with walks, toys, and outside time. Hope to book another stay with her soon!

Margaret took amazing care of my pups! She was super communicative, sent all the pics, and overall loved on my dogs like i do. Also, my dogs had so much fun with her pup. Highly recommend!

Our dogs had a great time with Maggie and her dog Moose! She sent a ton of pictures and updates, and it was obvious that she treats the dogs in her care like her own. They got lots of love, attention, and play time! We will definitely book with her again.
