House Sitting Old West Austin

About: Hi! My name is Addie and I a currently a pre veterinary student who loves animals and am super passionate about animal care! I am a veterinary technician and experienced in medical care, medicine administration, special needs care and trained in small animal cpr. I have a lot of experience as well with dogs such as volunteering at shelters very often for the past 4-5 years and I have fostered and continue to foster dogs of all ages in my free time for various shelters. Some of these fosters include a Bull Terrier and Great Pyrenees! In addition, I have experience in equine medicine, exotic animals medicine and previously worked at a dog daycare. I have a dog of my own, Suki (in my pictures) who is almost 2 years old, well behaved and potty trained who loves to make new friends if you would like me to take her along for walks or drop ins for some doggy playtime with your fur babies! I typically work full time Friday through Sunday but have open availability during weekdays which gives me more time to care for and play with your pets! I have lots of experience with walking dogs, crating them and overall handling them, keeping them safe but also happy. Throughout my time fostering new dogs, I have learned to quickly adapt to each dog and learn their personalities and how best to care for them which I believe is perfect experience for caring for other people’s pets.

“Brittany is amazing! She took wonderful care of our dog Murray and was an excellent communicator. He has separation anxiety, and this was the calmest and happiest he's ever been when we came back from a trip. Brittany brought over her dog Duke (who is adorable), and Murray really enjoyed having a friend. She left our house in perfect condition, and I can't recommend her enough! 11/10!”

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to all types of animal personalities, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same love and care I’d want for my own. We have two sweet dogs of our own that are friendly to all dogs and people, and are always up to date on necessary vaccinations. We live in a 1,400 sq ft townhome in the heart of Clarksville, and although we no longer have a yard, we have a large open green space right next to our complex and are just a block away from a dog park that we use constantly. Since I'm home all day, your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and love throughout their stay! (Plus lots of pictures of them to send your way!) Since I'm home all day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and love throughout their stay! This also allows me to provide flexible scheduling and attentive care for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting needs. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're used to, whether they're staying in my home or I'm caring for them in theirs. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other preferences the owner provides. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family and have plenty of attention, supervision, and opportunities for play and relaxation. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it a priority to respect both the pet's routine and the owner's space while providing lots of love, care, and updates along the way.

“Katie was an amazing dog sitter! Super caring for my pet and amazing communication. I would absolutely book her again and 10/10 recommend her to others.”

“Melondy was great! We booked this trip over a month ago and it unfortunately landed during the weekend of the winter storm and she was still very understanding. Our two gremlins were super happy when we returned and had a great time.”

Spencer Z.

“I can't recommend Jewel highly enough. She stayed at my house to take care of my dog while I was out of town for 10 days and she really went above and beyond with everything. It's great to know I have someone I can trust when I travel and I'll be absolutely be reaching out to Jewel again for help in the future, and recommending her to family and friends!”

About: I’ve grown up with pets and have fostered pets for almost a year now. I love to get to know pets and learn their personalities when I’m not looking after fosters or my family’s pets I work and go to school full-time, but my schedule changes frequently so I can typically stop by most weekends or check in a few times while you’re away I have a small crate for cats and a large kennel for dogs if needed, but I tend to give animals their space and let them get used to me while observing from a respectful distance

“Arantxa is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She sends the sweetest updates consistently, communicates everything, and helps out with the unexpected if it occurs while you’re away. My A/C went out while I was out of town, and she helped by replacing the filter and letting the repair man in. My pets adore her and I’m just so relieved to be able to rely on her when I travel. She keeps a tidy space and is so sweet and considerate. I book her whenever possible!!”

Caitlin C.

“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”

“Joe is as wonderful with Lola”

Cooper T.

“Mo was awesome with our old dog Luke. They communicated well, were friendly, and professional. I'd totally recommend them for house and senior dog sitting.”

“Jolene was great with my pup and kitty. My dog has some health issues and Jolene medicated him and kept to his schedule like instructed. She was loving and kind to my animals and they were not that excited when I got home!”

Melanie M.

“Melissa is an absolute angel! She took the best care of our two little girls. She was super communicative, asked great questions, and went above and beyond to ensure our girls were well taken care of and we were anxiety-free. So grateful!! Thank you, Melissa!! ❤️”

Emily M.

“I’ve been working with Ludo for a few years now, and I feel so lucky I found him! He’s a truly the best you can get to care for your little ones! My Pomeranian is actually in love with him, and there’s no one I trust more than Ludo to stay at my home with him while I’m away.”

Erin L.

“Matt did the preview to ensure we had a good match and was on time and ready for my two dogs. Everything went smoothly and the dogs were happy to let me know it was a good sit!”

“Cienne took great care of my pups! She stayed at my home and sent lots of updates which I love. My girls looked very happy and comfortable. Will definitely have her over again!”

Melissa D.

“We are so grateful for Rasika! She was WONDERFUL with Marley, spending so much quality time and really making her her priority, which gave us all the comfort and peace while we were away. She was also so willing to do what she could to accommodate us when we had an unexpected family event that resulted in us needing her a few days sooner. Couldn’t ask for more! ♥️”

Nicole M.

“Amelia was AMAZING! My dog is super high energy and hyper and he felt so comfortable with her immediately. She sent so many updates that made me know my dog was happy and safe. 100% recommend her!”

Kaitlyn W.

“Kavya was wonderful with our big pup, we are so fortunate to have found her and booked her. She is attentive and flexible with her schedule. Ori immediately connected with Kavya, with other new people it takes him a while. But with Kavya, he was calm and snuggly right away, as if he already knew her. We appreciate her calm and soothing energy, and obviously so do pets. It was also reassuring to know Kavya had so much experience working with dogs in a range of temperament, from her volunteer times. All in all, Kavya is a star and we highly recommend her! ✨”
