House Sitting in North Loop, Austin, TX

“Arantxa was absolutely amazing with my dog who can be standoff-ish. Communication with her was quick and easy, she sent frequent updates including lots of pictures and videos. My pup warmed up to her very quickly. She’s kind and caring and I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.”

“Kody was phenomenal. My dog is very shy and timid at first. Kody was patient with him slowly earning his trust. Kody also sent great pics and detailed updates which was nice to have while away. He even went above and beyond and watered my plants while it was hot out. I would highly recommend Kody.”

“I came home to happy content kitties and a clean home. Daria was so caring for them, sending me so many wonderful photos. I will be rebooking w her anytime I need someone. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies.”

“Came back to a happy pup! Mathew did a great job and I didn’t have to worry while I was gone. He kept the place clean and would definitely recommend him.”

“Yuliia did an outstanding job taking care of our home and our beloved Wally, a 20 lb. Corgi mix. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated daily with thoughtful texts and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. When we returned, our home was spotless—just as we left it—and Wally was in great health, clearly happy and well cared for. Yuliia’s attentiveness and genuine love for animals shone through in everything she did. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”

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.

“Karli is incredible!! She’s dog sat for my pups several times, and has been great every time, but she deserves special recognition for extending her stay during the winter storm while I was unable to fly back. Not only was she great with the pups, but she took care of my home during the freeze like it was her own. She was a life saver!! Highly recommend.”

“Woody was an absolutely excellent house/dogsitter for our resident pup and foster dog. Their pure enthusiasm and affection for our pups was apparent from our first meet-and-greet, and we felt beyond comforted and relieved to know the dogs were getting so much love and attention while we were away. Woody provided updates with just the right frequency each day, took the dogs on multiple walks a day (a HUGE plus for us), and was so diligent and thoughtful about making sure our instructions/requests were fulfilled -- even checked in with us when our foster's ears were inflamed to ask if we'd like them to help administer medication, which was super thoughtful and appreciated. House was totally clean and pristine when we returned! Completely lovely person to chat with as well, and we look forward to hosting them again next time we're headed out of town!”

“Needed a last minute house sitter and reached out to Aniela and she was great. Walked, fed, and sent daily updates of the dogs with pictures. Will rebook in the future and would definitely recommend”

“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.”

About: I pet sit because I want to, not because I need to💜. It’s a passion of mine to be around your pets. As the the oldest of 5 much younger siblings and a former professional nanny, I am a natural caregiver! Now, I am an independent hairstylist that works for myself, and as an animal lover, I have naturally become many of my clients trusted go-to pet sitter, especially for in house vacation pet sitting. I am highly trained as a former animal foster (including the bottle babies that require so much attention and responsibility) and as a professional care giver. I also grew up with non-traditional critters including, but not limited to, hedgehogs, salamanders, iguanas, guinea pigs, gerbils, etc. so I’m cool with whatever you throw at me! LGBTQ+ friendly!! I work for myself part time as a hairstylist. I make my own hours so it is very easy to not schedule on the days I am needed or to schedule large breaks in between. As a former nanny and elder millennial (lol) I am very responsible first! I always double check leashes, harnesses, doors, etc so you can leave your home feeling great with your guys in my hands. At my clients home, I very much like to follow their rules and instructions to the detail. I keep a photo and/or list of all instructions on my phone and a physical copy in my car. At my own home, I like to listen to what my clients feel comfortable with and follow that as discussed with them. I do like their pets to feel like I’m their loving grandma- they always get extra love and long walks when I come to see them!

“Michael was fantastic, gave updates every time he stopped by and sent lots of pictures. Very communicative. Thank you!”

“Leslie did a fantastic job watching my cat for a long weekend! She made sure to send me photo updates throughout the trip. I came back to a very happy cat and she left my place in great condition. I highly recommend Leslie and will definitely be using her again!”

Lauren L.

“Thomas was very responsive to my messages. He sent me pictures and remained communicative when he house sat with my cat. My place was left as it was as well. Definitely trust Thomas to use his services again.”

Esmeralda A.

“Wonderful, attending and thoughtful caretaker for my more involved frenchie! Really appreciate her updates, responsiveness and flexibility! Would book again!”

“I cannot say enough great things about Magdalena! She is the best pet sitter I could have ever hoped for. I was SO extremely nervous about leaving my 2 dogs and cat for 8 days when I went on a cruise, but Magdalena made me feel so comfortable. She came over and met me and my animals once before booking and then again a month later to the day before I left for the cruise, which was very nice of her and really put me at ease. While I was away, she was extremely responsive, communicative (and funny!) and sent me daily updates with pictures, which I also really appreciated. She went out of her way to make me and my animals happy and comfortable. She followed all of my directions to a T (2 typed pages! haha) and I came home to a house that was cleaner than I left it. My dogs were totally themselves when I got back and they are pretty sensitive, so I know they were happy/comfortable with her. Magdalena really went above and beyond my expectations and I could not be more grateful for her because it really improved my vacation having someone I like/trust in my home with my babies. There is absolutely NO DOUBT that I would use Magdalena again.”

“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!”
