“Got it! Here’s a more natural version with your note about being repeat customers: ⸻ We’ve used Kimmie previously, and there’s a reason we keep coming back—she’s amazing. She takes such good care of our dogs, always making sure they get their medicine, playing with them, and giving them tons of love and attention. It’s clear she really cares about them, and they’re always happy and relaxed when we get home. We feel so lucky to have found her!”


“Molly was an amazing sitter! She sent me pics of my babies multiple times a day, kept me updated on their feedings and my dogs meds. Enjoyed having her watch over my babies, and def trust her to do it again in the future :3”


“Kat is incredible. From our meet and great I could tell Kat was going to be gr8. She’s detail oriented, took notes & it was immediately apparent she is a true animal lover. Ruger may want us to go on vacation again. Multiple daily updates to put our minds at ease allowed us to fully emerge Ourselves in our vacation with full knowledge that our big baby boy was well taken care of! She also took great care of our house and went above and beyond in every category. We will definitely request her services again!”


“Felicia was an amazing pet caretaker for my dog and cat on a 5 night overnight stay. She took very good care of the animals, sent me pictures each day and was very responsive if I had any questions or checked in. The house was very clean when I got home, which was not necessary but always appreciated! I would highly recommend Felicia.”



“Jessica did a great job with my nervous dog. She kept me updated with how he was doing, and sent me plenty of pictures to help with the separation. I think I handled the separation worse than he did! She also was incredibly flexible when my plans changed, and helped to accommodate the situation to the best of her abilities. I will definitely use her again.”


“Kaitlin was phenomenal. This was our first time utilizing Rover and she made us more than comfortable by explaining things and communicating with us through all of this. Our boys are somewhere high maintenance and they can be handful at times. However she did a great job and we will definitely be using her services again. We would recommend her to anyone.”


“Jasiris was such a caring sitter with our doggo and a great person to meet in general. She followed all of our care instructions to a tee. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”


About: I have taken care and pet-sat for friends and family for many years. I have also volunteered at animal shelters to help take care of the animals there. I briefly took some veterinarian classes too. I know how to administer medicine if required. I work at a part-time job and am currently in the process of moving, so i like having a week to 2 week notice so i can adjust my schedule to take care of your furry companions! I can cater to whatever needs your pet needs if I am told what their routine is like. I can balance my schedule with your pet's needs very easily. I am in shape so I can take your pet on long walks to help them get that excess energy out! We'll play plenty of games together and a lot of pets and cuddles will be given out. They'll be treated as if they were my own so they will be well taken care of.

About: Animals have been my first love since I was six. As an only child, pets were like siblings, and I’ve been the family go to pet sitter for years. I’m based in Austin and work full-time during the week available for morning evenings and lunch drop ins. I’m also available for weekend house sittings or overnight stays. I’m reliable, respectful, and treat every pet like my own. I lost my dog not long ago, so caring for animals now means even more to me. Whether it’s senior pets, playful pups, or just keeping your home secure, I’m here to help. I work full time during the week, but I’m available for weekend house sitting, overnight stays, and evening check ins. I’ll always communicate clearly and update my calendar to reflect availability. I make sure your pet is well fed, hydrated, and comfortable in their environment. I pay close attention to their needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions, including giving medication, crate time, or just extra love. Whether they need playtime, quiet company, or structured care, I’m here to provide it all with patience and respect.

“Alyssa was great. She made sure to stop by before our vacation to meet the pups and to get her bearings in our home. She took care of the place like it was her own and we came back to a tidy home and happy dogs.”



“Lindsey watched our three dogs for a couple of nights on pretty short notice, and provided excellent care. She and our dogs bonded quickly during our first meeting, and we received photos and updates each day. We wouldn't hesitate to call Lindsey in the future when we need an in-home dog sitter.”

“Amanda kept in touch and sent updates/pictures while I was away. My doggies looked very happy in the pics and our anxious little boy took to her quickly. I would book with Amanda again in a heartbeat!”


About: Hi, I’m Gracie a devoted dog mom, passionate animal lover, and experienced volunteer who believes pets deserve the same love and attention as family. Although I didn’t grow up with animals, my heart for them has grown immensely over the past few years. My journey began when I adopted my Yorkie, Mocha.. a energetic, sweet little companion who changed everything. Caring for Mocha over the last year and a half taught me responsibility, patience, and the daily joy that pets bring. My love for animals didn’t stop at home. I began volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats of all kinds. Through fostering, I’ve cared for animals ranging from 1-day emergency placements to 2-week stays, giving them love, structure, and comfort while they wait for their home. This experience helped me build confidence with different breeds and personalities.. shy pets, energetic ones, and everything in between. Here’s what I bring to your pet’s care: •First-hand experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, crate training, and administering simple med •Calm and patient care for both dogs and cats •A clean, safe, and cozy environment with lots of love •A flexible part-time schedule that allows me to provide reliable, attentive care •A compassionate heart that treats every pet like my own At this time, I’m accepting small dog breeds and cats for pet sitting, drop-in visits, or short-term care. Whether you’re going away for the weekend or just need help during the day, I’d love to meet your furry friend and give them the love and attention they deserve. Let me know how I can help. I work part-time, and I have a flexible schedule. My off days are Friday -Monday. So I will be at home full time on my off days. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time, and a gentle, friendly dog who love having company. Whether your pet prefers playtime or their own space, I can adjust accordingly. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed and always maintain a clean, calm, and loving environment.

“Kat is absolutely AMAZING and I cannot endorse her enough! I have an elderly cat and a dog, and while I was out of the country for almost two weeks, Kat kept me up to date with pictures and regular communication. They absolutely LOVED their time with her, and I will *definitely* be using Kat every time I travel! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 And whatever other "perfect score" you can think of”

She goes above and beyond with a heart full of joy for any and all animals she has the opportunity to meet. She is experienced, observant, and leads with such a transparent nature that one can only trust in her ability and character. She will take care, defend, and love any pet she cares for. I cannot sing high enough praises for her!”

They had set aside a perfect place for Niswi to play and be comfortable, provided tons of enrichment with games, toys, and activities, and even helped with socialization and training. I was and am incredibly grateful for the care and nurturing Gracie provided our pup!”
