Pet Sitting Old West Austin

“Kiersten is so great! My kitties were so comfortable so quickly with her, which is difficult to do because they can be pretty anxious and scared. The pictures and updates were great. Looking forward to having her watch them again :)”

“Dulce is so great with my pup ziggy! I’m a nurse and work weird days and she is so accommodating with my schedule and so flexible! My pup is very high energy but she handles him really well and I know he’s in good hands! I feel so confident in her ability and know that my pup is well taken care of when she watches him!”

“Our kitty warmed right up to Sonia and enjoyed lots of playtime and pets while we were away. We enjoyed the detailed updates and lots of pictures. It was great to know she was doing well while we were out of town. Very communicative and easy to get ahold of. Will definitely book again!”

About: 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I grew up surrounded by all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, and horses, so caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. ❤️ I take reliability seriously. When I commit to caring for your pet, you can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to their needs. I understand that plans can change and that life gets busy, but your pet’s care should never be something you have to worry about. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your furry friend is receiving plenty of love, attention, and care. I’m also a proud cat parent to a wonderful Bengal cat who is incredibly sweet and has a great personality. 🐱 Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, companionship, or simply a dependable person to look after them, I’d love the opportunity to help! 🏡 For overnight stays at my home: Please note that your dog or cat must be comfortable around another cat, as my Bengal will be sharing the space. I’m happy to chat beforehand about your pet’s personality and needs to make sure it’s a comfortable and happy fit for everyone. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are my priority. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶🐱💕 I am employed with a full time job and go into the Downtown office Monday through Friday. Depending on where you are located, I am able to make visits during lunch. I am very respectful of someone’s home and will respect your home as I do my own and how I would like a visitor to be in my own home.

About: Dog mom to one happy pup but have grown up with dogs since I was a kid. Love taking my dog on multiple walks a day, playing fetch, and giving them lots of love. My partner and I work from home on flexible schedules, so have a lot of availability to walk pups! We love going on walks throughout the day and would love to take an extra dog or two along with us. We can provide am, pm or nightly care any day of the week depending on your needs. We can come to your home and pick up your pup for walking and drop-in pet sitting services. Can also administer medications. We provide pet sitting, daily walks as well as drop in services.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their fur babies while their lives are busy! It brings me a lot of joy to take care and connect with animals. I work from home Wednesdays + Fridays from 9:30-5:30. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have flexibility because my office is down the street, so I can always come back for a lunch walk This schedule allows me the freedom to feed, walk, and be with your animal babies a lot! Whether they're in my home or a client's home, I am always making sure waters bowls are full, pets are loved, and they are happy and behaving normally.

“You are amazing!!! I love the pics, and would definitely love to use your services again! Thank you!!😊 Frenchie squad.👊🏻”

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.

“Lily was very tentative and sweet to Maverick! I ended up staying out of town another day and she was so flexible! Maverick certainly enjoyed her visits! So refreshing!”

“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 an animal lover my whole life. I had the joy of caring for my dog for 14 wonderful years—he was truly family and taught me so much about love and responsibility. I also cared for my cat for 3 years, and though he's not living with me now, I still adore him and visit him often. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of both dogs and cats, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and affection I gave my own. I a full-time time student, but pet care fits perfectly into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m committed to making time for the pets I care for, whether it’s early morning feedings, evening walks, or weekend visits. Your pet’s well-being is a priority, and I’ll make sure they get the attention and love they need when you're away. I believe pets feel safest and most comfortable in their own environment, which is why I provide care in your home—not mine. This helps reduce stress for your pet and keeps their routine as normal as possible. I always respect your space, follow your instructions closely, and treat your home with the same care I would my own. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates and check-ins so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I grew up with three dogs and helped raise my own Corgi-Dachshund mix (Finn! 🐾) from when he was 3 months old through living to be over 16 years old. Since he passed, I’ve been missing having a little companion around so decided to get back into dog sitting and dog walking outside my 9-5. My friends, colleagues, and referred families relied on me to housesit throughout college with dogs of all shapes and sizes! Puppies, senior dogs, big personalities - I have a soft spot for any and all!!!! 💖 I work a 9-5 Monday through Friday, with the flexibility to work remotely on Wednesdays and Fridays, so I can provide care during the week when needed. With advance notice, I can also request additional remote days to accommodate longer stays or specific schedules. My weekends are flexible, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and your needs :) I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment with a dog park conveniently accessible nearby. I currently have no other pets, but have some different dog supplies on hand to create a calm a comfortable environment for your pup. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine, needs, and personality, and I’ll make sure they feel right at home while in my care!

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 :)

“I found Christopher on Rover at the last minute to help with 3 visits. One of our dogs is a rescue that we’ve had less than a week; he’s being crated and I was unable to get away from work. Christopher came to my house after I messaged him and met everyone. He was kind and competent and I knew the dogs would be in good hands. He did a great job—he was on time for his visits, and sent me pictures and messages. It was such a relief to me to know that my dogs were well-cared for. I will use him again for sure!!!”

About: I started a pet sitting business with my friends out of high school which lasted 2 summers. Have pet sat for friends and coworkers while in college. I am looking to start a new pet sitting business, and using rover as a start! Currently, I am working from 12pm-5pm every weekday, so I have time in the mornings and late afternoons to care for your pets! My weekends are mostly free, but I do have to record my radio show on Saturdays! I make sure to leave every house exactly how I found it. If any pets make a mess in the house, I use my own supplies to clean it up!

“This was our second time booking Keyra to watch our cats. She followed all our instructions and sent daily updates with pictures that really put our minds at ease while away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter in Austin.”
