“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! 🐾💜”

“Jacob was excellent with our puppy Remi. My husband and I haven’t had a night out in 6 months bc he cries whenever he is left alone and we just don’t have the heart. So thankful it all went over wonderfully with Jacob bc now we will have more nights out knowing Remi is happy and being treated so well and played with!”

“Mia accepted a last minute 5 day stay after another rover sitter cancelled 30hrs before the start of our booking. She was so kind to make a meet and greet work same day. She took great care of Clyde, sent photos and was proactive and promptly responsive with her communication while we were gone, and left our house in great condition — washed our sheets, took out the trash, 0 dirty dishes. 10/10 recommend her for not only great dependable care but also being a lifesaver so last minute. Thank you, Mia!!!”

“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.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for almost a decade in several countries across Europe and professionally in Austin. I like big mutts and I can not lie! After 5pm on Tuesday through Thursday and anytime rest of the week would work for me. No problems house sitting or your pup staying over. I have hands-on experience working at a dog daycare, as well as caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities through pet sitting and boarding. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable handling energetic or nervous dogs. I focus on making every dog feel safe and comfortable, rather than rushing through the process. Plus, I genuinely love spending time with dogs, so this never feels like just a job to me!

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alexander was absolutely wonderful! He was reliable, professional, and made me feel completely at ease while I was traveling in Japan, knowing that my dog and home were in great hands. He took the time to do a pre-visit before my trip so I could walk him through everything and explain where things were. Throughout my travels, he provided daily photos and updates, kept me informed, and asked questions whenever appropriate. He went above and beyond, even handing out Halloween treat bags to the neighborhood kids! He also took excellent care of all my indoor plants, which were in great condition when I returned. My home was clean and well maintained, and most importantly, my dog was happy, relaxed, and calm when I got home. Alexander is trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely cares about the pets and homes he looks after. Having that peace of mind while traveling internationally was invaluable. I would absolutely hire him again without hesitation and highly recommend him!”

“Krista was very professional and understanding of my dog’s needs while sitting him. She kept me informed which made me feel comforted that he was in good hands while I was gone. She was the perfect snuggle partner for my dog while I was gone!”

About: My specialty is small dogs from tiny Chihuahuas too Boston terriers! I absolutely love playing in caring for small animals! I also have a small dog myself! I work from home and I can tailor my work schedule to your dogs needs. If any I have a dog park where I live for residence and I like to go there if it's OK with the pet parents to let the dogs run around and get all the smells the Zumiez, etc.. along with regular potty breaks throughout the day. I know this is off topic but I'm super close to the airport so it's super convenient if you need to fly out! Knowing your pet is safe, happy, and cared for is priceless. Building long-term relationships with pets and their parents matters! I care for these fur babies as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets, homes, and property for friends and family. From dogs and cats to small rodents, animals have always been a big part of my life and my family. I started pet and house sitting at 19, and now, at 26, I’ve built years of trusted experience caring for pets with patience, attention, and reliability. As an active person, I love spending time outdoors with animals, whether that’s walking, playing, or just keeping them company and helping them stay comfortable in their routine. I also understand the importance of maintaining good control and awareness while handling pets of different sizes and personalities. I do have asthma, but it has never stopped me from being dependable, active, and fully attentive while caring for animals. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness always come first with me! Hi! I’m a South Austin pet sitter currently accepting drop-in visits and house sitting bookings. I love providing dependable, personalized care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Being local allows me to provide reliable care for nearby families while keeping up with your pet’s normal routine. I specialize in caring for cats and small dogs and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, meals, fresh water, playtime, enrichment, medication reminders, walks, or extra companionship, I’m happy to help! I prioritize communication and will always provide thoughtful updates, photos, and details so you can feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for. I’m currently flexible with my schedule and available for both drop-in visits and house sitting. Starting August 24th through December 10th, my availability will be focused on drop-in visits Friday–Monday due to my school schedule. While my weekday availability will be more limited during this time, I’ll continue providing consistent, attentive care and clear communication for every booking I accept. I also love becoming a familiar face for pets and their families, so repeat clients are always welcome! My goal is to make pet care easy and stress-free for you while giving your pets the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to become a trusted sitter for you and your pets in the South Austin area! When booking with me, you can expect reliable care, clear communication, and someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I make it a priority to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll provide updates, photos when requested, and make sure your pets receive attention, exercise, affection, and a clean environment while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with respect, care, and responsibility so you can feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands.

“Melissa did a great job of taking care of our three dogs . She house sat our One Golden , a mutt and a young sheppard. She texted us with questions and updates . We were able to leave without worrying about our babies. What a blessing she is. Great dog sitter !”

“Grace is the best! She’s so caring and kind with my dog and always send a ton of photos, videos, and updates. She goes out of her way and goes the extra mile every time. Grace is my dog and my favorite person on Rover and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for an amazing sitter!!”

About: Varied pet care experience ranging from a quick walk to overnight stays at my home or the pet's home. Have cared for cats and dogs of various breeds. I love getting to know new furry friends and having them become family. Currently taking a break from work which allows me a very flexible schedule. Please reach out and let me know your pet's needs. Also available for last minute needs! I like to meet with the client and pet before any pet care assignments to build a relationship and learn about their needs. I will always follow all guidelines from the client and continuously communicate with the client about their pet. At my home I live close to the town lake trail and can make sure active pets get plenty of physical exercise, will also make sure to stimulate them mentally with games, and if they are able to socialize with other pets around my neighborhood.

“Matt was excellent to work with. Our Ridgeback, Ody, is a COVID dog and needs some time to warm up to new people. Matt did a great job building trust with him, and they quickly became friends. While we were away, Matt consistently sent pictures and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. I would highly recommend booking Matt.”

“Luna did an incredible job with Argo and caring for our home. Argo really opened up to her, in the past, he has been real sad with different sitters. Would definitely work with Luna again!!”

“Brandy was great with our 2 dogs. We were gone for 2 weeks and had 2 different sitters. I was worried about the transition due to only having 1 guest room & the changing of sheets but they worked it out 😁! Also had someone picking things up that kept getting pushed out; & our fridge went out 🤪. Brandy was not only great w/our pups but handled all the craziness so my worry went away 😊. Brandy communicated w/me throughout her time w/the dogs.”

“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.”
