“Victoria was great! Made me feel very comfortable leaving my 12 year old cat while I went on a trip. She sent the sweetest pictures and was diligent with updates. You can just tell she is great with cats. I’d love to hire her again in the future!”

“Alexa was wonderfully responsive and attentive. I always knew when she was on her way, we met virtually before her first visit, she followed the care check-list daily and always sent photos. Highly recommend.”

“I completely feel at ease when I leave town because of this sitter! In addition to the normal care routine, she does a great job playing with my cat and giving her attention. I highly recommend her.”

“Katie was the best sitter for our cat! She did everything we asked for and made sure to play and love our cat every time she visited and sent us lots of amazing photos! I highly recommend booking Katie if you’re looking for a pet sitter!”


About: I’ve interned at a vet clinic providing care to animals, worked on a ranch with many animals, as well as pet sat for neighbors and others in my community! I have my weekends free as well as Friday afternoons! Monday through Thursday I have classes throughout the day, however I have a couple hours around noon (Mondays and Wednesdays) and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2 where I can give potty breaks between classes! I can also come in the morning and when my day ends at 5! I will always make it work! I will ensure pets are able to stay on their routine as much as possible when they are in their home! Any weird quirks or feeding routines are no problem ✅
“Madeline is a great pet sitter! She is super responsive, friendly, and she truly cares about the animals. She took care of my cat during Christmas and left detailed report cards, she even fed her a healthy treat that she brought herself! Madeline is consistent and a true animal lover. I recommend her service to anyone looking!”


About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience caring for all kinds of animals. Growing up, my aunt owned a horse ranch, my grandma cared for and trained dogs, and I took care of cats—so I learned early how to understand different animals, routines, and personalities. I’ve also had small pets like hamsters and have always been surrounded by animals of every kind. I truly love caring for animals, and I value the trust people place in me to keep their pets safe, happy, and loved. My schedule is flexible, with most weekends available. Monday through Thursday, I’m free after 3:30 PM, and on Fridays I’m available after 2:30 PM. I’m happy to coordinate times that work best for you and your pet’s routine. I’m deeply committed to creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for every animal in my care. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, routines, and comfort to make sure they feel secure and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and well-being always come first, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—providing patience, affection, and attentive care you can trust.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for 5+ years! I’ve taken care of animals all shapes and sizes! From dogs in training to elderly animals that need a little extra love I’m currently a college student, so Tuesdays and Thursdays anytime before 11 am and after 2pm, and Mondays and Wednesdays anytime after 5pm. Weekends very upon request! Willing to travel to your home when needed. I am currently in student housing so I am unable to house an animals at the moment
“Elizabeth was tremendous! Super quick to respond, detailed with her visit reports, and overall a very kind person - really helped us stay at ease while we were away. And our kitties were in great spirits when we got home! Thanks again Elizabeth!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications (if needed), cleaning up accidents, and making sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every dog is different and I always adjust to their energy level and comfort. I currently live in an apartment, so I focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in the client’s home. I ensure pets get plenty of outdoor exercise and attention during visits and walks at any time 😊 I am responsible, patient, and genuinely love animals. I provide updates and photos during visits so owners feel at ease. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority.
“Emeline was so great with my maple, she worked on getting her comfortable the first day and played with my cat until she got tried. She was very great at updating me on my cat and sent me many pictures of her :) I’m so glad my cat got along with her and will be using her services for future dates.”

About: I've lived with pets my entire life and that will never change! I currently have 2 adorable kittens and I specialize in cat care, but I will give your animals the attention and love they deserve no matter what they are! I'm currently attending classes part time, so I have plenty of flexibility to schedule around your pet's needs. I am available 7 days a week! I have two nearly 1 year old kittens who I feed and care for daily. I clean litter-boxes and messes on the rare days they happen. I also care for my aunt's dogs regularly, taking them on walks and playing games of fetch, etc.
“Juliana was quick, transparent and so so sweet with my babies. i’m so grateful for her flexibility and willingness to come fairly last minute to care for my kitties!”

About: I got my first cat when I was just 8 years old, gaining full responsibility of her at 10 years old. I am now 18 years old and have had the pleasure of taking care of hundreds of pets (mostly dogs)! For about 6 months I was a kennel technician for a kennel which generally had about 60+ dogs in it. I bonded so much with every dog, most breaks I would just go into a kennel of dog who might've been skittish and try to bond, they really liked that. At this job, I mostly cleaned kennels but also fed dogs/cats their specific food requests and documented it on sheets. On the other hand, I was a dog caretaker at a small business in Austin where I would take up to 7 well-behaved dogs (that's all my car could fit!) to a nearby trail and let them off leash to explore. At the commercial space, I monitored 15+ dogs playing, making sure no one got hurt (or somewhere they shouldn't be!). This job taught me the most about dogs and dog behavior. I still go back every once in a while, those dogs mean the world to me! I am a full-time student at Texas State. I currently am staying most nights in San Marcos, goinghome to Austin when I can. I work full time over breaks and then weekends during the school semester. I have classes MW from 12:30-6:20 and class T at 5-5:50. I can always make time for the care of pets! I love animals! I will give your pet lots of love and do as intstructed, whatever is needed! If you request that I give your pet a special treat, I will. I have learned behaviors of pets over the years that I have cared for them, every pet is different but I learn quickly! I will not be able to house your pet because I live in a dorm.
“My cats were healthy, happy and well taken care of by Blayne. Opal says “yes, bring her back! Warm lap and she knows right where to scratch my ears!” Azeriphale wants another round of chase the toy mouse!”
“Megan is fantastic - she is our go to sitter! We’ve had to be out of town more often since moving away from family but we always feel at peace knowing Megan will take care of our pets like they’re her own! We fully trust and recommend her, and know our fur babies are in the best care! She is also very communicative and sends pics without us even asking. Thanks Megan!”

Lindsey has been fantastic with our moody anxiety ridden cat. I know he was well taken care of while we were away as Lindsey provided many photos and thorough descriptions of her time with him. We will definitely book Lindsey for future care services! Thank you so much Lindsey!

Grace is incredible! This was the first time we used the service, and we were a little worried about trusting someone with our cats. Our situation is a little complicated, but she came over before the sitting started and went over everything with us and wasn't worried at all. She is a quick communicator and cares very much about doing a great job. Grace is the best!

Megan is fantastic - she is our go to sitter! We’ve had to be out of town more often since moving away from family but we always feel at peace knowing Megan will take care of our pets like they’re her own! We fully trust and recommend her, and know our fur babies are in the best care! She is also very communicative and sends pics without us even asking. Thanks Megan!

Reagan was very friendly, professional, and accommodating. Her visits were timely and reliable, and my cat warmed up to her right away. When I needed to make some last minute changes, Reagan was very helpful. I was very pleased with the experience and will be booking with her again.
