Pet Sitting Riverside

“She did such an amazing job taking care of my dog! Not only did she make sure my pup got a great walk, but she also spent plenty of time playing with her and giving her extra attention. Receiving the photo updates was the best part of my day. She’s super reliable, friendly, and truly loves animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

“Kianna was amazing. She took care of my cat by showing him love and spending a lot of time with him. He also kept me up to date by messages and a lot of pictures. I will be using her for the next time I go out of town.”

About: Hi! I’m Alejandra, a lifelong animal lover and mom to Ford, my Catahoula/German Shorthaired Pointer mix. Growing up around ranch life, I’ve cared for many different animals, so being around them has always felt natural to me. Because Ford is a high-energy working breed, I’m very comfortable handling active dogs that need structure, exercise, and attention. i’ve also had a miniature yorkie so have experience with small dogs as well - and well Ford is obsessed with all dogs! I provide safe, attentive walks amd playtime and always prioritize your dog’s comfort, safety, and routine. I take daily walks with Ford who gets along with other dogs and cats. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or a relaxed stroll, I’ll match their energy and make sure they get the care they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always send photo updates so you can see your dog happy and having a great time. My goal is simple: make sure every dog returns home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Im available all day on weekdays and sometimes during the weekends, which allows me to be flexible with exercise, pet care, making homemade dog treats, and making sure your pup has a play and nap schedule. I enjoy staying active and getting outside, and I’m reliable about making sure dogs get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Safety and awareness are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I’ve trained my own dog, Ford, to stay calm and non-reactive on trails and around other dogs, so I’m very comfortable managing different situations during walks. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to read dog behavior and handle a variety of personalities—from high-energy dogs to more cautious or sensitive ones. Whether in my client’s home or out on a walk, I make sure pets feel safe, respected, and well cared for while keeping owners updated with photos and communication.

“Leslie was amazing! She followed my instructions to the letter and took care of my wonderful kitty 🐈‍⬛ I was nervous to book with her as she doesn't have a lot of reviews but I always believe in giving people chances to prove themselves. I'm definitely booking with her in the future!”

“Arantxa is so sweet, reliable, caring, and engaging! From her updates and interactions with my dog and cat I can tell that she genuinely cares about animals and treats my pets as if they were her own. my dog just absolutely adores her and my cat never comes out for anyone- but Arantxa made the cut 🥰 She is the best. I’ll definitely be booking her in the future! Thank you for all that you do for my fur babies Aranxta 🩷”

About: Caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a kid, from checking in on a neighbor’s pet to hosting overnight stays. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments—senior pets are especially dear to me—understanding the extra care and attention they often need. From gentle routines to specialized care, I’m experienced in making sure older pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. No matter your pet’s age or needs, I provide a calm, caring environment where they’ll feel right at home. I currently have a flexible hybrid schedule, which means plenty of time to care for your pups! Whether they need overnight boarding or just some extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. I’m available for overnight stays starting at 4 PM—happy to provide a cozy, caring environment while you’re away! Your pup’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities! My apartment complex features a spacious, well-maintained dog park with a wonderful community of dogs and pet parents—perfect for social pups who love to play. But if your furry friend prefers a quieter experience, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m comfortable providing specialized care, whether that means crating, reinforcing training routines, managing special diets, or administering medications. Senior dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I have extensive experience caring for them. Plus, living on the first floor means easy access with no stairs—gentler on aging joints.

“Itzel was amazing! She took care of Simba well and was very quick to respond to my messages. I had put incorrect time for a visit by mistake but she was very understanding and cooperative. Will definitely recommend her service!”

“I will definitely use Marsha again! I texted her last minute at 12:30 to walk my dog since my last walker cancelled and she was there by 1. Super nice and friendly over text!”

About: Hi, I'm Scott! I grew up with a big lab-retriever at home. I've been helping take care of my friend's pets for as long as I can remember but I have no pets of my own. There are no other dogs in my home. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm a marathon runner and I love to exercise; I'm looking forward to staying fit along with your furry friend! I will treat your furry friend with love and respect and will make sure that your Rover experience goes smoothly. I do not have any dogs at home. I just left my job in strategy consulting and have abundant free time. I can’t think of a better way to spend my sabbatical than spending time with your pet. I own a quiet, well cared for, and clean home. I have a fenced in yard and friendly neighbors in a safe part of town.

“Immediately upon meeting Brittany it was clear she understands dogs! We have a strong-willed, playful, 11mo border collie and Brittany knows exactly how to handle him. She’s a terrific communicator, prompt and friendly and basically the best ever! Our pup is so lucky to have those long afternoon walks each day!”

About: I've taken care and owned pets for over 8 years. I absolutely love all pets and understand that sometimes as an owner, it can be stressful to make sure they are taken care of when you have to travel/are busy. I have experience taking care of pets old and young, and understand the different needs and care necessary for each. I would love to care for your pet whenever needed! I currently work from home and have a ton of flexibility in my daily schedule to care for all your pets needs! Caring for a pet would have no affect on my routine, and they would be treated as a number one priority! I live in a top floor, two bedroom apartment with plenty of space! I also live right next to Lady Bird Lake/walking trails so there are plenty of options for walking your pets!

About: I’ve spent pretty much my entire life surrounded by animals. Growing up in Greece, my parents and I regularly took in stray dogs and cats and gave them permanent homes. At our peak, we had four dogs and six cats at the same time, most of whom simply walked into our backyard one day and apparently thought, “Yep, this will do!” They never left. Since moving to Austin five years ago, I’ve been pet sitting for friends and, thanks to word of mouth, friends of friends (and eventually people I had never met, which I take as a good sign). I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and have been trusted with walks, check-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I’m very comfortable around animals and fully accept that while you’re away, your pet is the boss and I’m merely the staff. And yes, that’s Anna, our Westie, in my profile picture. She still lives with my parents in Greece, and whenever I FaceTime them, she is required to appear on screen first. My parents have accepted their place in the hierarchy. I’m a graduate student at UT, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule. Even on days when I need to be on campus, I often come home during my lunch break.
 My days usually start around 6 a.m. with a workout and wind down around 10 p.m. with a book in bed, so I’m happy to accommodate both early risers and pets who take their beauty sleep very seriously. Walks, playtime, meals, check-ins, and plenty of attention can easily fit into my daily routine. If your pet loves a routine, I’m your person. I know how much animals rely on familiarity, especially when their humans are away, so I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. I’m active and always happy to go for a long neighborhood walk—or, if you live downtown, your dog and I may become regulars on the trail. But I’m equally committed to the important work of doing absolutely nothing. If your pet prefers couch time, they’re welcome to join me while I read. I’ll handle the book; they can handle the naps. Above all, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine, and I’m happy to send plenty of updates and photos while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I can remember buttt I’ve legitimately only had 2 paying customers this year! But I’ve always taken care of dogs growing up and even have a dog now! I have classes from 11-3 so any other time than that would fit into my schedule perfectly!! I’m not too picky and if I can’t do the job I’m willing to be either flexible or completely honest with you I usually just follow the orders of the parents! I have a dog too so I know how they can be 😂 I take them on walks and play with them as much as I can!
