“Susan was so great! She was able to accommodate us last minute and took such good care of my boy! She also met him beforehand which helped him be so much more comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Nataliia got the cutest pictures of my cat while I was away and it helped so much with my anxiety about being away from her for so long. My apartment was so clean when I came back, especially the litter box areas. Of all the times I’ve left my cat with someone, the two times I’ve used Nataliia, she has been the most calm and happy when I returned and I am so thankful for her ❤️”
“Eileen was amazing. I had to leave town for Christmas and couldn’t take my cat Barty with me. It was the first time we would be separated for several days so I was a little anxious. Eileen gave me so much peace of mind with her daily updates and photos! Barty looked very happy to see her every time, laying on her lap and just generally being his usual lovebug self. I came back to a clean smelling home (every cat owner knows the slight dread of wondering just what state the litter box will be in) and a calm cat who had clearly been well cared for in my absence.”
“Clem took amazing care of not only our kitten but also our pipes while we were out of town during the latest freeze. The thoughtful, quirky notes about our baby girl reassured us that she was in good hands with Clem. And Clem went above and beyond to drip the faucets, check on the pipes etc. which made us feel that our home was in good hands too!”
“Reheanne has been great! I asked her to come and check on Jacks last minute and she was super accommodating! She was very communicative! Jacks seems like she had a good visit! Thank you again!”
“Michelle is great! I reached out last minute and they were able to help out. I really appreciated that and will be rebooking her the next time I need a sitter :)”
“Melissa did a great job caring for my geriatric cat Ziggy. She regularly went above and beyond, giving her her meds and just spending time with her. Ziggy is very shy but warms up quick (esp when food is involved) and I could tell she liked Melissa. It provided peace of mind while I was gone for a week.”
“Kaitlin did a great job checking in on our cat and goldfish (in the pond). She was very trustworthy and assured me via phone pics that everything was okay. I would highly recommend her and Rover!”
“Isa is an amazing cat sitter! My cats are not the most friendly cats, but they love Isa! She is really patient with my cats and makes sure they are fine and happy (I supposed they are, based on the photos she took!). Also, there was a small power outage happened during a cold front, Isa very kindly paid an extra visit to make sure my cats are fine. I cannot recommend her more!!”
“Linda took great care of our puppy! It was our first time leaving this dog for a trip and it was great to get updates each visit on how she was doing—Linda was a great communicator. She seems very comfortable and knowledgeable about dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!”
“Magda is helpful, reliable, friendly, and exceptional. She provided exceptional care for my small dog the past few months. She frequently would check in and provide updates during the walks, and following the end of the session. I’d highly recommend Magda’s services.”
“Stephanie was flexible and very good at communicating to me about my pup. She was very attentive even when he was having a hard time with me being gone. She was GREAT! Will book again.”
“Kyle watched my cat Juniper for 6 days while I was on vacation. Met her prior to get all the details out of the way and meet my cat. She had great communication throughout and took great care of juniper doing everything I asked. When I returned my cat was relaxed and happy to see me but not pissed at me for being gone, since Kyle came to give her some love. Would highly recommend Kyle’s services!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my sister’s medium sized dog on and off for 4 years, since he was a puppy until now. I’ve also taken care of other pets for friends during college (cats, small dogs). I’m currently on a hybrid schedule meaning I go into the office Tuesday-Thursday from 11am-3:30pm. Apart from those hours, I am completely free to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge dog park 2 minutes walking away from my apartment, as well as a smaller fenced dog park with a nice yard just downstairs.
About: I’m a veterinarian that just completed my residency at UPenn and moved to Austin for my new job! Hoping to help local pet owners meet their pet needs! I’m currently on a break before my new job starts in October so I am very flexible! Happy to assist with drop ins, boarding, or dog walks! I live in a 2-story house with a fenced yard. I don’t currently have any personal pets (hoping to adopt a dog soon!). Willing to drive for drops ins/dog walking!
“Hillary was wonderful with my cat! She was right on time every day and spent time petting, feeding and loving on her! She wrote updates and sent several pictures every day. It made it so much easier for me to be away from home. I will be using her in the future!”
