About: What makes me stand out as a pet sitter is my genuine love for animals and the extra care I provide, supported by my living situation: Fenced Backyard: I have a large, fenced backyard where your pets can run, play, and enjoy themselves safely. It’s a perfect space for active dogs who need room to stretch their legs and explore. Full-Time Care: Pet sitting is my full-time job, so you can rely on me to be fully dedicated to your pets. Plus, I have help from my roommates, who are also animal lovers and can assist with pet care and provide additional attention when needed. Great Location: I’m located near downtown Austin on South Congress, making me conveniently close to provide quick and reliable care. Staying Connected: I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos, video calls, and live updates so you can see how your pets are doing and stay connected while you’re away.

With all these features, I aim to offer a fantastic experience for your pets and peace of mind for you. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine, ensuring your pets receive attentive and consistent care: Daily Routine: Morning: Each day starts with feeding and bathroom breaks. I ensure your pets have plenty of fresh water and access to cooling air to stay comfortable, especially during the hot Texas summers. Breaks: Throughout the day, your pets receive a minimum of 4 to 5 breaks, each lasting at least 30 minutes. During these breaks, they run around together in the large, fenced backyard and enjoy plenty of bone marrow bones to chew on. The spacious indoor and outdoor areas provide ample room for them to move and relax. Evening: In the evenings, I focus on feeding and another bathroom break, ensuring they have a comfortable and cool space to wind down after a day of activity. In My Home: Safe Environment: Fenced Backyard: I have a large, fenced backyard where pets can run and play safely. The fence is secure, minimizing the risk of escapes. Pet-Proofed Spaces: I ensure all areas accessible to pets are pet-proofed, removing any hazards like toxic plants, small objects, or chemicals. Cooling Measures: During hot Texas summers, I provide plenty of cooling air and ensure pets have access to fresh water at all times. Comfort and Care: Designated Areas: I have separate spaces for large and small dogs, allowing them to interact comfortably and safely. They also have access to a spacious indoor area where they can relax. Regular Breaks: Pets receive a minimum of 4 to 5 breaks each day, each lasting at least 30 minutes, where they can run around in the backyard, chew on bone marrow bones, and enjoy their time. Trust and Communication: Updates: I keep pet owners informed with regular photos, videos, and live updates, so they can stay connected and reassured about their pets’ well-being. Health Monitoring: I closely monitor pets for any signs of illness or discomfort and address any concerns promptly. In a Client’s Home: Respecting Their Space: Familiar Environment: I respect and maintain the client’s home as they would. I follow any specific instructions provided about pet care routines and preferences. Security: I ensure the client’s home is secure and that pets are safe while I’m there, keeping doors and gates closed and using any security systems as instructed. Comfort and Adaptation: Comfortable Setup: I make sure the pets have their usual bedding, toys, and feeding areas. If there are specific routines or environments that keep them comfortable, I adhere to those. Routine Adherence: I follow the established routines for feeding, exercise, and any special care the pets require, making sure their daily life remains as consistent as possible. Trust and Communication: Updates: I provide regular updates to the pet owners, including photos and reports on their pets’ activities and health. Emergency Preparedness: I am familiar with the client’s emergency contacts and vet information to handle any unexpected situations swiftly and effectively. In both settings, my goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for the pets, ensuring they receive the best care possible while respecting their routines and the client’s property.
20. Johnna B.
“Johnna was great with my boys. She very quickly befriended them and would drop-in to feed and play with them while I was away for extended work days. She has been very flexible with the scheduling and very responsive to any questions/queries. She was sick on one of the days and informed me with enough heads up that I could plan accordingly instead of a last minute message. I am very happy that I found Johnna here and would be using her services again.”
