“Elle is an incredible human with an amazing talent for loving and caring for animals. She was so sweet, kind, patient and loving with my pup! She was also incredibly respectful in my home and left it spotless, even after I told her not to do any chores. She took her job seriously, was professional, and did AMAZINGLY! She will be my preferred dog sitter for a long, long time. Thank you do much Elle!”


“Rasika did a great job while watching my dog. I received a ton of updates with pictures. I was never once worried about the job she was doing. She also took care of my house and even took out the trash for me!”

“Kiersten was absolutely wonderful with our pup Isabelle! She was punctual, communicative, and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, especially since it was our first time working together. It was so reassuring knowing Isabelle was in such caring hands, and our girl clearly had the best time with her! We’re so happy to have found such an amazing sitter and will definitely be having Kiersten care for Isabelle again. Highly recommend! 🐾💜”


“Katherine is amazing! She was so communicative and my pups absolutely loved her! She even had to deal with my doggy needing ear drops, which he does not love, and handled it amazingly. I'm so glad I found her!”

“Bo had the best time with Noa! She went above and beyond, giving him extra walks and playtime throughout his stay. Communication was great and it was clear how much she cared for him. Highly recommend — we'll be booking with Noa again for sure!”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s senior dogs for the past 5 years and have raised a puppy and a kitten of my own. I love all animals and have taken care of reptiles, 7 cats at once, birds, fish, bugs, and plants! I’m here to ensure that your space is just as you left it and your pet is happy. Also, I love to take silly pictures of your pet and will happily send them to you. I’m a full time college student that also works part time. I’m a multi-tasker by nature, so it’s likely I will be listening to lectures while I play fetch with your pet’s favorite toy. You will never be worried that your dog is lonely because I will stay and hang. My schedule is different every day, but consistent weekly. I’ve had my lizard Hazel since 8th grade (a long time). To keep a lizard that long takes a certain amount of consistency and respect for animals that I’ve seen others struggle with. I will be diligent in ensuring that your pet is healthy and happy in your home.
“We had a great experience with Debbie! She was very communicative and kept us updated the entire time we were away, sending frequent pictures and thoughtful notes. What meant the most was that I truly felt like she cared, not just about their basic needs, but about their entertainment, comfort, and overall health. We came home to happy, well-loved pets and total peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again 🤍”


“Luna and I had the most precious and wonderful experience with Lindsey! We will 10/10 be utilizing her again in the future and anytime I travel. I requested a short notice dog sitter and found Lindsey to be extremely responsive and responsible. We set up a call the day before I was leaving and I was impressed immediately at her attention to detail and clarifying questions. During her stay with Luna, “Miss Lindsey” was extremely communicative and sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Luna is very active and Lindsey took care to take Luna on wonderful longer walks and excursions each day. I could easily tell by the pics how comfortable and happy and safe Luna felt with Lindsey. When I returned home, my apartment looked better than when I left it! Luna and I give Lindsey the highest recommendation for your pet sitting/ walking needs. It was truly a fabulous connection and experience 🫶🏼🤍”

“Rachel was awesome! She was happy to swing by for a last-minute meet and greet before I left on my trip, and my dogs had an excellent time with her and Mardi. Communication was prompt and friendly too. Will definitely have her back here!”


“Stephanie sends photos and videos multiple times a day, and keeps me carefully updated on all the details, meals, medication, walks. She's become good friends with my two dogs, who normally don't open up to anyone outside the family. Thanks to her, I can travel with real peace of mind.”

“Shameray always does a wonderful job watching our dogs and cat. She is very responsive, friendly, and our critters love her. She sends daily updates with pictures. We have always been very appreciative of the care with which she sits our house and pets.”


“Brittany was amazing as usual! She took care of Murray & Charlie over our wedding weekend. I was able to enjoy our wedding so much more knowing our boys were with their BFFs, Brittany and Duke. She is a clear communicator and takes awesome pictures as well! Finally, she made sure to do a smooth handoff with the other dogsitter who was covering part of our honeymoon. 1000000/10 would recommend.”

“Kate was amazing! She sent lots of photos and was super communicative about how my girl was doing while I was out of town. My pup has anxiety and Kate was patient and open and well equipped to handle her. I have also never left her with a stranger but my nerves were settled by Kate’s confident and friendly demeanor.”

About: Hi, I’m Sydney! I grew up with animals, starting with our beloved cat Kitzel and then two crazy miniature schnauzers named Gabby and Schultz. My family also fostered dogs regularly when I was a kid, and in high school I volunteered at a humane society walking dogs and working with the kittens every day. More recently I’ve been volunteering at Austin Pets Alive! (APA), where I’m trained to walk dogs and volunteer with the cats as a kitty cupid, matching them with adopters. My own dog, Raven, is a rescue. I trained her myself on loose leash walking, advanced obedience, and beginner’s agility. she even qualified for her Canine Good Citizen in our training class. I’ve also watched my parents’ dog, Heidi, for 6+ months and done week-long stays for friends with 7+ different dogs, ranging from a Cavapoo puppy to a senior Bernese Mountain Dog, so I’m used to adjusting to different personalities and routines. I do dog walking as well as house sitting and drop-ins for both dogs and cats. I’ll stick to your pet’s routine, keep up with any training you’re working on, and send you photos so you know how they’re doing :) I’m home most days with a flexible schedule, so I can do midday walks, multiple drop-ins a day, and last-minute requests. I am available weekends and holidays as well. I am not rushing between other jobs, so your pet gets my full attention! All of my care happens in your home, so your pets get to stay in their own space with their normal routine. I don’t bring my own dog along, so it’s just me and your pets. Before the first booking, I’ll go over everything with you at a meet and greet: feeding, meds, walk routines, quirks, favorite toys, and anything they’re nervous about. Then I stick to it as closely as possible. For walks, I always double-check harnesses and collars before heading out and keep dogs leashed the whole time. For drop-ins, I take care of food, fresh water, litter or potty breaks, meds if needed, and spend the rest of the visit playing, cuddling, or just hanging out, depending on what your pet likes. For house sitting, I’ll keep your pet company overnight and provide daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime and cuddles. I will also help bring in mail, water plants, take out trash, and keep the house tidy. I always make sure doors and gates are closed and locked before I leave, and I’ll send photos and updates every visit so you never have to wonder how they’re doing :)
“Ludo looked after our sheepdog & cat for a week stay and did an excellent job. He was great with the animals, gave them plenty of attention and they were clearly happy & provided lots of updates. Ludo was a great house guest, he left the house very tidy & was very helpful doing additional things like watering & taking the trash bins out. I thoroughly recommend him & looking forward to booking him again in the future! Thank you :)”

Sherwin was a great house and dog sitter for us! Our dogs can be anxious sometimes and he was so thoughtful and kind in his approach to them. He sent great updates and was very responsive. We came home to a perfect house and happy and calm dogs. We will definitely ask Sherwin to take care of our dogs and house again!
Thanks Iva for taking care of Poe and keeping us informed! The house was clean and Poe was very happy on our return. You always are responsible and easy to communicate with while we are out of town and we appreciate you. We will definitely use you again for our travels
Kiersten was exceptional! She took excellent care of my senior dog, Lennon, while housesitting. Her communication was great and I received multiple updates and pictures throughout her stay. Lennon got exercise, stimulation, and lots of attention. I came home to a happy pup and it was clear he had been well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Kiersten and hire her again!

Noa watched our 11-week-old Ridgeback puppy for a full overnight and was honestly amazing! Puppies are a lot, and she handled it all like a pro. We came home to a happy, chill puppy and two cats who didn't seem bothered at all, which is a win in our house. Super easy to communicate with, and it was such a relief to leave him with someone we trusted. Any pup would be lucky to have her!!

Krista was amazing! She housesat our 1yo puppy Peach for almost two weeks and took incredible care of our girl and home. She sent photos and updates letting us know Peach was happy. Our house was spotless and she did the laundry. It was so reassuring having Krista stay with Peach and we highly recommend her!

Heather was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter for our two pups!! She kept us updated with photos and notes about how the stay was going, respected our space, and even left our house cleaner than when we left for our trip. I HIGHLY recommend Heather for any pet sitting or house sitting needs!!!
