House Sitting in Mlk, Austin

“She was so sweet and caring, my senior dog loved her. Great communication and super calm spirit. I will definitely be using her again. She was hyper aware that he was post surgical and made sure to communicate updates to me regularly”

“OMG! Look no farther. If you want a GREAT Rover experience then Erica is your girl. She gave updates, sent pics, helped in any way possible, communicated often and was very respectful of my home. My dogs literally looked like they took to her quickly- which they never do so this was a testament to her “vibe”. I will hire Erica any and every time I need a dog sitter and recommend you do the same! 10 ⭐️’s”

“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”

We loved the many wonderful photos she sent documenting what a good time they were having. Her great care for Hank and our home made a much needed trip possible. Highly recommend.”

“Katie was so great with our cat! She sent frequent updates and really cute pictures to let us know how our girl was doing. Our trip was so much better because we didn’t have to worry about things at home, and we knew our cat was in good hands! Katie also went above and beyond when it came to leaving our apartment cleaner than it was before we left! I was so impressed how nice it was when we got back! Thank you again!”

Courtney V.

“Woody was pawsitively the best dog sitter! We received daily updates, pictures and videos of our pack enjoying Woody’s company. We have four senior dogs that require a bit more patience and care now that they are in their golden years, it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We highly recommend Woody and will book again!”

About: With a strong sense for dog body language and behavior, I naturally bond with dogs and know how to keep them engaged, playful, and calm. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior companion, I tailor their care to suit their needs and give them a fulfilling, well-balanced day. My schedule allows me to maintain consistent routines for feeding, training, sleep, and potty breaks. I offer a variety of experiences from city parks to nature hikes, giving dogs exposure to a diverse range of settings. I also provide basic training support including crate, leash/off-leash, recall, sport-based games like fetch and frisbee, and even task-based and obedience exercises—skills I’ve developed through 10+ years of experience with dogs from puppyhood to senior stages. As a graduate student currently on summer break, my schedule is wide open—and I’ve intentionally structured my time to prioritize pet care. I’m available for care throughout the day, whether that means early-morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or overnight sitting. My flexibility allows me to tailor routines around your dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic and need lots of stimulation or prefer a slower, calmer pace. I spend much of my time outdoors, and I love incorporating dogs into that lifestyle—hiking scenic trails, visiting off-leash parks, or just taking long neighborhood walks. I believe dogs thrive when they experience new encounters, and I work those moments of enrichment into every week. I live in a spacious, first-floor apartment with direct access to a secure patio and a neighborhood dog park—just steps outside my door. This makes potty breaks, quick outdoor play/walks, and socialization seamless and stress-free. Every day, our neighborhood hosts friendly dog meetups with well-behaved pups, offering perfect opportunities for your dog to engage with others in a safe environment. Inside my home, dogs will find a clean, calm, and organized space with plenty of enrichment. I have a variety of toys, training tools, puzzles, and games to ensure your dog stays mentally and physically stimulated—the goal is for no boredom and anxiety. I also keep a full range of grooming and cleaning supplies on hand, so whether your dog needs a simple wipe-down or a post-adventure bath, I’ve got it covered. I am well-versed in training methods and behavior management, so if your pup has specific routines or commands, I likely already have the knowledge and equipment to maintain their structure. I’m happy to reinforce crate training, leash manners, or any custom instructions you provide to ensure consistency while you’re away. I also have a well-socialized golden retriever mix who’s incredibly calm, friendly, and trained to model great behavior for other dogs. If your dog enjoys companionship, mine makes an excellent playmate. If needed, I can crate or separate the dogs for one-on-one attention or downtime—your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

“Kathryn was amazing with my dog and sent many check in photos throughout my trip. When my flight was delayed she stayed longer and helped out with my pup. She is the best and very professional!”

Kelby F.

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Marissa watch our two pups, Edgar and Jasper for 5 days in our home and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She was amazing from start to finish: dependable, professional, and clearly someone who loves what she does. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such capable hands. She kept us updated, sent pics, followed our instructions and also walked the babies. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring petsitter.”

Maria H.

“Grace did an amazing job taking care of our pups and house! She was super communicative and went above and beyond with her care of the dogs and house. We felt super happy coming home and would definitely book again.”

Katherine G.

“Parker was a really excellent dogsitter! He was on time and reliable, he took frequent pictures of very happy pups, and was all around easy and great to work with. Thanks, Parker!”

Daniel D.

“Karli was awesome! She checked in with us multiple times a day and made us feel at ease that our doggies were being well taken care of! She has a great energy and was able to calm our excited dogs very easily 🙏 She was a great house guest as well, will definitely rehire!”

Alice A.

“Alice watched my 7 month old mini long haired dachshund on a last minute work trip request. She stayed in the home and constantly updated me to what my pup was doing and how she was acting, including lots of photos which I loved! She kept my place clean as well. Would boom again!”

Chloe S.

“Always great service.”

Gil C.

“Kate was super communicative & great to work with! She was super active with our pup & allowed us to leave town with no worries. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I bring a unique blend of rural and urban pet care experience. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, cats, goats, and chickens—so caring for animals has always been second nature. That hands-on upbringing taught me responsibility, intuition, and how to understand animals' needs. For the past five years, I’ve raised my Australian Shepherd in an urban setting, giving me experience with high-energy breeds, leash training, and adapting routines to busy city life. Whether it’s senior pets, puppies, or animals with big personalities, I bring calm, capable, and compassionate care rooted in a lifetime of experience. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine. I start each morning with a walk or play session—it’s a great way to connect and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day, I build in time for feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins to ensure pets feel safe and cared for. On weekends or evenings, I prioritize longer walks, enrichment, and cuddles. Whether I’m balancing research or writing as a PhD student, I make sure pets in my care are always a top priority. Their routine becomes part of mine. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment—whether in my home or a client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes and play styles. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, using patience and positive reinforcement. Safety is always top of mind: I double-check leashes and gates, avoid off-leash situations unless in fully enclosed areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or discomfort. I also provide regular updates to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel at home, secure, and loved.
