About: Animal lover willing to spend time and give love to pets of all kinds! Have had experience watching other peoples animals, both cats and dogs, long and short term. Have taken on responsibilities such as walks, baths, grooming, playtime, and more. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so it will be likely for me to be able to accommodate everyone! I am available both weekends and weekdays, from earlier in the morning to later into the evening. Not currently able to take in any animals at this time, but would be able to watch them for a short period of time during the day or to stay and watch them at their owners house
“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”
“Madeline was so prompt and thoughtful in her care for Cooper! The detailed walk recaps and photos mean so much to me when I’m stuck at work away from home. I will absolutely re-book.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog and cat at home for an extended period of time due to work travel. Emily visited 3x/day and gave my dog meds when needed as well as keeping me updated. I felt they were safe in her care. Would definitely hire her again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own dogs and other pets since I was about 13. My family has always had boxers but I’ve walked, bathed, and fed pets of all sorts! I’m a recent college grad so I don’t really have anything keeping me busy during the week! I would love to get some extra pet time in however I can! I can easily gain the trust of all animals and will always make sure I am following instructions to the T on how to take care of your pets.
About: Animals have been a big part of my life growing up and I love making connections with them. I did some pet sitting during high school and through college. I have two animals of my own and I love them so much. I work from home full time so I can provide exercise and play time often to make sure your animals are happy and healthy with my flexible schedule. I work from home and can bring my laptop anywhere. I need to be more active during my day instead of sitting and this would provide me a way to get moving! Mutually beneficial! I have a fob access secure apartment. I am surrounded by a lot of walkable areas and parks. my own animals are on a feeding schedule so I can easily follow others. Giving animals the stimulation they need is important to me.
“Morgan was amazing and gave our dog Bo extra attention and care. He is a very active young golden/lab mix and needed exercise. She ran with him and took him to parks, so he could get the physical and mental stimulation he needed. I can't say enough good things about working with Morgan!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of both pet behavior and care. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I having had dogs most of my life, I understand the importance of routine, exercise, and mental stimulation. Your pet won’t just be cared for—they’ll thrive and be loved in your absence. I currently work from home, so I am immediately available to take them on walks, etc. I understand the importance of routine in our lives. I have quick access to lovely dog-friendly spaces downtown. I can accommodate your dog’s crate with ease. My lovely building is filled with great pets.
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and have always loved being around animals. Back in high school, I had a small pet care service where I walked neighborhood dogs, let them out during the day, played with them, and took care of them when their families were out of town. I’ve been living in Austin for the past three years and work from home, which gives me a super flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pup the attention they deserve. I really miss having pets around, so getting to spend time with yours would be such a joy. I’ll treat your pet like my own—with lots of love, playtime, and snuggles. We’ll have the best time together! Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks, playtime breaks during the day, or evening check-ins, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I love being active and getting outside, so walks are something I genuinely enjoy — and having a furry friend along makes it even better! Pet care naturally fits into my lifestyle and brings a lot of joy to my day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow any instructions provided closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medications, or favorite toys and activities. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe, giving them plenty of love, playtime, and attention while respecting the home and keeping everything tidy.
About: I grew up taking care of farm animals when I was younger and in my adult life I have experience fostering dogs who needed extra love, patience, and a safe space. For me pets are family and I really treat every animal like I do my own. :) I work hybrid, going into the office 3 days a week and working from home 2 days a week. Even on the days I go into the office, the longest I’m away is 6 hours maximum. My schedule really allows me the flexibility to step away for mid day drop ins or walks. I'll make sure your furry family members get all the love and care they need while you're out, from fresh food and water to some fun playtime and tidying up any little accidents – happy and healthy pets are my top priority! You can count on me to give your beloved companions consistent attention and gentle handling during my drop-in visits, keeping them comfortable and content until you return.
“Ludo took excellent care of both of my dogs and was great at communicating and anticipating their needs. I loved receiving all the cute photo and video updates he sent and could tell that my dogs liked being around him. Would definitely recommend him to care for your pet!!”
About: I have at least 6 years of experience with Drop-In Visits, Dog Walking, and/or Dog Boarding. A majority of this experience was voluntary and was done out of goodwill for friends and relatives. I've taken care of 8 week old puppies, 16 year old geriatric dogs, who require extra love, and every dog in between. Furthermore, I fostered and eventually adopted my current dog, Kizhii. I initially was fostering her and her brother, Bates, who is now with his forever home in New Mexico. Kizhii has been with me for 6 years now. Kizhii has completed basic dog training and she is a well behaved friendly dog. I am currently a student at ACC. I primarily work from home. So my weekdays are fairly open during the daytime: 8am-6pm for Drop-In Visits or Dog Walking. I am open to Doggy Day Care as well but I can not take more than one dog. For Dog Boarding, I would like to have only one dog at a time, this can include the weekends. And, of course, since we have a dog, for day care and/or boarding, client dogs must be good with my dog. I live in a large safe and secure apartment complex in the Tarrytown neighborhood. My apartment is pet proofed, with all hazards stowed away and concealed. The complex has a large dog park and many friendly pet owners. Tarrytown also is very safe for walking and/or running with dogs, especially in the nearby parks and trails.

Kim is amazing with my dog — he absolutely adores her! He gets so excited every time he sees her, and it’s clear he feels completely comfortable and happy in her care. It gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. She’s always on time, super reliable, and goes the extra mile by sending me photos during their walks, which I always appreciate. I can’t recommend her enough!
