About: I've never met a dog or cat I can't win over. I meet them at their pace, never pushing unwanted interaction onto them. I have volunteered and fostered for multiple shelters. I have experience administering medicine, grooming, and bathing. Currently working part-time, so I'm relatively free to look after pets. I am also a morning person, and I don't mind getting up early to check in on and walk someone's baby, especially with how hot it is right now. I will follow your guidance on your dog or cat's care in your household to a T. I want to alleviate the stress an animal may feel meeting a new person by sticking to their usual routine.

About: Hi, I’m Tracey! I specialize exclusively in providing gentle and loving care for small-breed dogs and all cats. Smaller pets have unique needs, preferences and personalities, and I understand them well! Whether your small pup needs a careful walk or a lap to snuggle in or your kitty requires calm patience, I am there to ensure they feel safe and loved while you are away. Safety is always a priority with small pets—including avoiding encounters with aggressive or large dogs, and properly using harnesses to protect petite frames. Kitties receive the utmost patience and respect for strict boundaries, and/or all the playtime they desire. Dependable and Communicative, I adhere strictly to your instructions. You will receive a detailed update and plenty of fun photos each time I visit! What A Visit Looks Like: Petite Pups: A size-appropriate walk and/or indoor/outdoor playtime and potty time clean-up. Fresh water, treats/food, and a cuddle in my lap if so desired! Fancy (all) Cats: Fresh food and water, meticulous attention to the litter box(es) and play or quiet companionship depending on kitty preferences. I look forward to meeting your petite and fancy family members. Let’s set up a Meet & Greet to ensure we are a perfect match! I work full-time, standard hours during the week so I am able to offer reliable, dedicated visits during mornings, evenings, and weekends! This structure works perfectly for pets on a consistent schedule or weekend companionship while you are away. My Visiting Hours: Weekdays (Mon-Fri): Morning visits before 8 AM and evening visits after 5:30 PM. Weekends (Sat-Sun) Fully open with flexible, all-day availability. I keep my home very clean and cat friendly. Litter is changed daily and kitties are brushed routinely. I have cat trees and scratching opportunities placed throughout along with favorite toys always available.

“Nina was truly amazing. Roma can be picky with sitters and she warmed up to Nina really well. She was always on time and took Roma on great walks. Would definitely recommend and book again.”

About: In high school I briefly volunteered at Keller HSNT and then pivoted to volunteering at a no-kill, nonprofit animal shelter called Operation Kindness where I was trained to properly look after both dogs and cats! I volunteered there for several years and I was able to walk the dogs there too, learning how to provide them a calm walk and to deescalate their stress in response to their environment. Additionally, I have my own two sweet dogs back home and I always take them on long walks and adore caring for them. Since they’re my family’s dogs, I don’t consider caring for them as professional pet care experience, but I do want to mention that my love for Buster and Mojo has taught me a lot of the basics! Although I’ve taken both of them on walks together before, I would prefer to walk one dog at a time when it comes to other people’s dogs, given that I am less familiar with their temperaments and I want to ensure that everything goes smoothly! Other than that, I absolutely loveeee animals and I enjoy spending time with them! I’ve looked after several of my friends’ dogs before and have been paid to walk some of my neighborhood dogs in high school, as well as dog and cat-sit for them! As a sophomore at UT, classes and student org events are what primarily make up my schedule. I’m usually pretty free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, because I have classes until 10am those days. On Tuesdays and Thursdays however, my time is more limited because I’m generally unavailable until late afternoon on those days. Caring for a pet at a client’s home includes being incredibly knowledgeable of my client’s boundaries regarding their home, as well as communicating important parts of their pet’s routine. Safety is incredibly essential, and I know that my time and attention towards their pet is crucial: I have never allowed myself to pay more attention to my phone or other things when what I should be paying the greatest level of attention to is the client’s pet.

“Isabel was absolutely fantastic with our six-month-old puppy, Oliver! This was our first time leaving him with someone new, and our original sitter fell through at the last minute. I reached out to Isabel on Rover just two days before we needed someone, and she responded within about 20 minutes and was able to help us out. From the very beginning, Isabel made us feel completely at ease. We FaceTimed beforehand, and she asked incredibly thoughtful questions—especially since Oliver is still a puppy and in the middle of training. She asked what commands we use, exactly how we say them, what his routine looks like around meals, and other questions I honestly wouldn’t have even thought to bring up with a sitter. When she came over, she let us know as soon as she arrived and afterward sent a detailed update with photos. She told us when she fed Oliver, what games they played, how he behaved, and even shared thoughtful observations about his personality. I really appreciated how attentive and engaged she was rather than simply stopping by to let him out and feed him. Most importantly, I came away from the experience feeling incredibly confident trusting Isabel with Oliver. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches and takes the responsibility seriously. All of her amazing reviews make complete sense after experiencing it firsthand. Isabel is a 10/10, and we would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend her!”

“Once again, Adam did a great job of taking care of Mr Kitty and even gave him medication. He responded promptly to any concerns and let me know if there was something that concerned him. We would definitely use Adam again,”

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was a young child. Always having dogs and cats of my own to care for, my friends and family have always relied on me to sit their fur babies when they are away. Recently I pet sat for a litter of puppies and a momma doggie. I had to make specialty food gruel for the puppies and monitor momma to make sure she was healthy. I helped the puppies nurse and always made sure they had fresh bedding (since they poop all over). I also had to care for another male dog in the same house and make sure he was kept away from the room that the momma and puppies were in. It was such an amazing experience and I would love to do it again. I also volunteer at the Austin Animal Shelter (Austin Pets Alive), where I work in the parvovirus unit working with extremely sick puppies. I administer oral medication, clean up their poop, do daily feedings and have experinece in IV treatments. I also volunteer in the cat unit helping sick and injured cat rehabilitate giving oral and IV medication, cleaning wounds and feedings. My belated kitty, Morrisis, was a senior cat, who in his later years, became paralyzed from the waist down. I did daily physical therapy with him, built him specialized litter boxes and a set of wheels to get around with. I also had to clean his wounds and poop off of his rear end, since he no longer had control of his bladder. I administered CBD to help with pain management. There is a special place in my heart for sick and disabled animals and I give them just as much love as every animal deserves, which is all of my love. I my free time, I foster stray cats in my neighborhood, taking them to their first vet appointments, getting shots and managing any sickness they may have. I foster them myself until I can find a suitable forever home for them. My work schedule is usually 5 hours a day. This allows me to do Drop In services and walks before my full time job, as well as multiple times afterwards. Throughout the week or weekend I am more than happy to house sit and give lots of attention and care to your fur babies morning, afternoon, evening and over night. When I am in my clients home, I allow supervised playtime outside and will keep your pup entertained. In the heat of Texas summers I will minimize outside play time and play with your pup more inside so they do not get over heated, unless you request otherwise. I do 2-3 walks a day depending on the dogs breed, age and anynhealth concerns. I'll take them around the neighborhood to stretch their legs or on a local hiking trail/ park if they are a more active dog. I keep a close inventory on any medications the animal may have and stick to the correct time for administering medication/ wound treatment. Meal time is usually on a schedule, unless you free feed, and I will always make sure there is cold fresh water available for your fur babies (cats and dogs alike). For kitties, I will engage them in playtime and try to get out their zoomies so they do not tear up furniture, unless they are sick or injured.

“Kaile did such a great job with my two boys while I was away in Central Europe!!! I always got a text and photo update and she communicated so well. I never had to worry about my boys being cared for. Will book with her again ASAP!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, whether they were part of my family or in the homes my mom cleaned. The best part of my day was seeing a pet eagerly waiting with a wagging tail and treats in hand. Since I was young teen, pet owners have entrusted me to care for their furry friends whether it’s walking them or playing together. I have a knack for quickly connecting with dogs, making them feel safe and loved. My goal is to ensure every pet I care for is happy and well-cared for, reflecting the trust owners have placed in me. I’m currently a student at the University of Texas at Austin, but I’m originally from Houston. During the summer, I enjoy keeping myself occupied with my furry friends. If you need my services, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll do my best to respond promptly. Considering my current schedule, I’m available any day of the week at any time. I'm dedicated to ensuring that all pets feel comfortable and secure, which includes maintaining a clean and hazard-free space. I ensure that all play areas are designed with safety in mind, providing ample room for pets to explore while using secure fencing and supervised playtime. I also engage in regular communication with pet owners, keeping them informed about their pets' well-being and activities. My approach is always gentle and compassionate, ensuring a nurturing atmosphere.

About: I grew up around dogs and something about them just always brightens my day up and a firm believer that dogs are always a good judge of character. I love seeing their faces light up when I mention going outside or for a walk but also enjoy winding down and getting comfortable for some down time. I’m currently available at all times of the day and evenings. What a better time to spend my days taking care of your loved ones. I have a spacious apartment in a very quiet and dog friendly neighborhood. There is also lots of green spaces within walking distance so your furry pals don’t get bored.
