“Sarah was wonderful! The dogs loved her almost from the moment they met her. Goldie “hugged” her early on during our pre-trip meet. We’ll certainly use her again. Glad we found River.com!”
“I never had to worry about our sweet girl while Mya was staying at our house for the week. Mya was always easy to communicate with and gave great updates. We felt 100% comfortable with her at our home with our dog and we could fully relax on our vacation knowing everything was taken care of and our dog was getting the best attention.”
“Laura Rose was great - friendly and helpful. Laura was very good with our dogs, and they and our house were well taken care of. We appreciated receiving photos while we were gone. A positive experience for me and the dogs.”
About: I've taken care of pets for around 16 years as an adult, for others and myself! I would say I have worked with dogs/puppies for about of those years off and on. This included some basics of beginner training for a puppy. My background is in human services, so I love people and pets :) It would be my pleasure to help support with your pet in your home, either drop ins, for a certain number of hours, or overnight, including house sitting. I do best with small to medium dogs, or some larger dogs who do not jump, pull on the lease, etc. I work from home, remotely at this time, so I have a lot of flexibility, and some weeks I can stay in home, and even drive a ways for these situations. Locally, Kerrville, Ingram, and within about a 10-15 miles radius, I can work in some regular daytime stays or drop-in. When caring for pets in my client's home, I focus on following the schedule and engagement in ways the pets do well with. I know some pets are more particular than others about schedules, so this is important. Regular movement is also important to me, so dogs will not be in crates longer than needed/requested. I aim to be available to engage regularly for longer stays as well!
“My girls were happy and well cared for while I was out of town for a few days! Kaitlyn was able to help me, even with my last minute request for help watching my girls for a family emergency. They loved her right away and I could tell by the pictures she sent and when I got back that they were happy and healthy. I definitely recommend Kaitlyn for anyone looking for care for their animals.”
About: I am a mature longtime Pet Sitter with over 20 years pet services experience. I’m reliable, caring, honest and great with all animals! I love being of service to others and walking dogs and pet sitting is something I absolutely love to do. I’d been providing pet sitting in the Austin area for many years and recently have been a ranch sitter in Comfort, Texas since December 2024. I have a handful of loyal clients that have trusted me with their beloved animals for over 10 years. Let me be your companion's trusted companion while you are away or busy at work! I am currently ranch sitting in Comfort, Texas and have plenty of time during the day for drop ins and dog walking. In August 2025 I will be looking for more overnight pet sitting opportunities in the Texas Hill Country. When I am taking care of pets I take the utmost care to be mindful of the animals needs as well as follow the owners instructions to the letter as best I can.
About: I love any type of dog, and will spend all the time I can with them, young or old. I want all the dogs, but can't afford them. Teacher on holiday break, I have loads of time, and love to spend it with dogs and walking as much as I possibly can to help myself exercise. I follow directions that the owner gives to the best of my ability. I'm recovering from a ruptured ACL, MCL , and torn meniscus surgery, so I love the exercise.
About: I have experience as a kennel technician and administering pet prescribed medications. I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles and birds of different breeds and ages. Family and friends have relied on me to babysit and feed their pets well as cleaning litter boxes or any pet in house potty accidents. I am a student at Schreiner University for pre-med but I am available Mondays and Thursdays from 3-8pm for drop in visits and or walks. I am very patient with all breed personality types and give plenty of attention and comfort to active and shy pets. I make sure fresh food and water is replenished with cleaned pet bowls to prevent traces of pet drool and germ build up. For drop in visits or walks, I value potty time and play time to ensure pets get their full amount of exercise and fresh air. For walks I take notice of different pet behaviors and will be cautious of other dogs walking by. I am extra patient with pets who are fearful of weather storms or loud noises such as fireworks.
