About: I’ve had dogs for 20+ years and have had multiple years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I promise your pup will be in good hands! I work full time, but can let dogs out during my lunch hour and can take care of dogs after 5 pm during the work week. On the weekends, i’m fully able to take care of dogs throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex but have close access to the trail and an open dog park. I have a corgi; but can crate if needed. Your dogs safety is my first concern. Whatever you need, we can adapt!

“Thanks for the details on walks and her behavior. I appreciate the care you are providing.”

I currently share my home with 2 wonderful cats so I am very familiar with feline routines litter box habits playtime and keeping them happy and comfortable while their humans are away. I always watch my friends animals whenever they travel or need help which has helped me gain even more real world practice caring for a variety of pets in their own homes. I am a great sitter for going to your home because I adapt quickly to each animal and their unique personality. I adjust easily to their routines preferences and needs making sure they stay relaxed and secure in their own familiar environment. I love taking dogs on engaging walks and can provide reliable dog walking along with playtime and attention.

About: I’m still a student however this makes me more energetic and fun! I’ve taken care of 3 Samoyeds most of my life, after their passing i’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I am able to handle very large pups and very tiny pups!! I grew up learning how to take care of my oldest Samoyed (12) all the way to my youngest Samoyed (1). I love going for long walks and I know your dog does too!! :) I also have many years of experience babysitting children with puppies and am able to juggle multiple energetic personalities!

About: I have 3 years of hands-on pet care experience with a diverse range of animals, specializing in dog and cat care, with additional expertise caring for chickens, lizards, bunnies, and other pets. My clients appreciate my flexibility, attention to detail, and ability to handle both young puppies and senior pets with equal care and patience. I'm currently pursuing my dog behavioral training certification through GoodPup, giving me deeper insight into pet behavior and communication. I also bring an EVERLIT Pet First Aid Kit with me to every booking and walk—your pet's safety is my priority. What sets me apart is my commitment to exclusive, focused care. I don't have my own pets and I never double-book: your pet gets my complete, undivided attention. I work from home with flexible hours, which means I'm available throughout the day for their needs: morning and afternoon visits in a single day, weekend availability, or multi-week house sitting. This flexibility is especially valuable for puppies, seniors, and high-energy dogs that need consistent attention. My clients appreciate knowing their pet is receiving dedicated care in a calm, stress-free environment where I prioritize safety, respect your home, communicate transparently, and tailor care to each pet's unique personality. I work from home with very flexible hours, which allows me to easily accommodate your pet's needs: House Sitting: Full-time presence in your home with availability throughout the day and overnight. I'm particularly great for puppies and senior dogs that need consistent attention. No extra cost for pets requiring constant care. Regular Visits: I'm flexible around your schedule and can easily manage both morning and afternoon visits in a single day. I'm always available on weekends and can adjust timing based on your needs. Flexibility: I'm comfortable with extended multi-week bookings. My work-from-home setup means your pet never feels alone. I'm genuinely present throughout the day, working in your common areas while providing company and regular updates. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets I care for. I ensure they're comfortable, follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and engage in playtime tailored to their needs. I keep the environment clean, respect clients' homes, and communicate regularly to maintain trust and transparency. If it's my first time caring for your pet, I provide an optional care guide for you to fill out with questions about your pet like walking routes, food schedule, favorite toys, and more. For house sits specifically, this includes questions like where cleaning supplies are located and house care preferences like watering plants and getting mail.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since before I could walk! I grew up in a home with dachshunds, pugs, labs, and lovable mutts (not to mention guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards, fish and even a duck at one point), which means I've had hands-on experience with a wide range of temperaments, energy levels, and care needs from a very young age. Feeding schedules, daily walks, baths, brushing, and basic training were just part of growing up. At home, I help my roommate to care for a bichon and a dachshund. Beyond my own household, I've regularly cared for family and friends' dogs and cats, fitting into their routines seamlessly and keeping their pets comfortable and happy. I'm confident with both high-energy dogs that need a good long walk and lower-key companions who just want company and consistency. What sets me apart: dogs have simply always been part of my world. I'm easy-going, calm, and genuinely attentive. I'm generally a homebody so pets in my care get attentive and consistent company. I work fully remote (part-time) with a flexible schedule, which means pet care fits easily into any part of my day. I'm not squeezing walks in between a 9 to 5 or rushing to jump back into a meeting. I can genuinely adapt to what your dog needs and take all the time they need for extra belly rubs. I have my own car, so I can reach clients across a wide area reliably and on time, regardless of weather or transit issues. Last-minute requests and schedule changes are usually not a problem. When I'm caring for a pet in your home, my priority is keeping things calm, consistent, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow the owner's instructions closely (such as feeding times, walking routes, off-limit areas, any quirks or phobias your pet has) because familiar routines reduce stress for animals and build trust quickly. I'm attentive to safety on walks: I keep dogs on leash, pay attention to their reactions to other dogs and people, and don't take risks. I'll always communicate with you — a quick update or photo so you know your pet is doing well. Your home and your pet are treated with genuine care and respect.

“Katrina was wonderful! She responded quickly and was so kind during our meet-and-greet. Bucky felt immediately comfortable with her and even went right up to her for pets. She asked great questions, paid attention to every detail, and followed all instructions perfectly. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had my own dog since I was in third grade! She is still with us today and is the happiest girl 🥹 I’ve taken care of puppies to elderly dogs, playful to shy and small to little! I currently work Hybrid so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your babies! I will ensure that your animals will be taken care of and spend as much time as I need to, to fit their needs My animals are always played with, spoiled and keep a well kept area to live in. Animals are families and should be treated with respect and top notch care!

“James was awesome with my new puppy! Our adoption timeline got moved up and he was completely accommodating to do a last minute meet and greet and recurring dog walk appointment.”

About: As a bilingual sitter, I can communicate clearly with more families and make sure every detail of your pet's care is understood. Most importantly, I treat every pet like family—with patience, love, and plenty of attention—so you can feel confident they're in good hands while you're away! I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. I am also comfortable administering medications and following specific care routines, whether that involves senior pet care, special diets, or detailed health and wellness needs! I recently moved to Austin and am excited to explore the city, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, specially with summers off! I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, drop-in visits, or following specific care routines. Pet sitting allows me to do something I love while getting to know the community, and I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I can’t host pets at my home, but I’m happy to care for them in their own home. I take dogs and cats on walks, spend time with them, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and focus on giving each pet the attention and care they need so that they feel loved and genuinely cared for!

About: I am an independent contractor and work flexible hours M-F. I’ve cared for dozens of pets and enjoy treating each fur baby like it’s my own. I’m fully comfortable with both dogs and cats of any age and size. I hope to meet you and your pet sometime soon! I work M-F and only till 12:30 pm on Fridays. My weekends are typically open/flexible. So I’ll have plenty of time to help care for your pet! The dogs I usually care for stay in a gated area until walk times, at which time I take them out to relieve themselves/play for 30 minutes or so a few times during the day. However, I'm happy to follow any special instructions regarding your pet.

“Addie was great with my dog on their walk!!”

“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!”

About: I started pet sitting when I was 18 to earn some extra money in college, and I’ve been doing it ever since. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and sizes, and I’m great at following special instructions. Additionally, photography is a hobby of mine, so there’s a pretty good chance that you’ll get some good pics of your pet in the process. I’m currently in graduate school, so I have a good amount of flexibility in my schedule, whether it’s during the week or over the weekend. I know how important your pet is as a member of your family! I’m happy to meet their needs, whether it’s walking, playing, belly-rubbing, or comforting them.

About: I have been around pets my whole life, but I’ve been taking care of them on my own for about 2 years. I also have personal experience owning a dog, a cat and two guinea pigs. I have cared for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets that need extra attention. Every pet I have taken care of has always been in good hands I’m a college student in the AFROTC program at UT Austin. My weekdays can get pretty busy with classes, but Mondays and Fridays I’m mostly free. I also have some breaks between classes Tuesday through Thursday where I can stop by for pet care. Fridays and weekends are usually wide open, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need I don’t bring pets into my own home, but I make sure they’re comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep up with feeding and walks, give them playtime and attention, and make sure they feel safe while you’re away.
