Pet Sitting Schwertner

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I currently have a 9-year-old cat and a 3-year-old dog, along with years of experience caring for friends’ cats. I’m especially comfortable with small dogs and cats and will treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet beforehand so we can get to know each other and make sure your pet is comfortable with me. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands! I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to check in on your pets while you're away. Since my little one will likely be joining me for drop-in visits, I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet beforehand so everyone can get comfortable with each other! I know how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with your pet and your home. I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and make sure they have everything they need before I leave. I’m happy to provide photos and updates throughout each visit.

“Emily always does such a fantastic job with my two dogs. One is 4 young high energy other is 13 old low energy. I never worry about their care or happiness when I Emily is looking after them. She is caring, attentive, & always willing to work with me, even short notice. Thanks E!”

About: With 8 years of professional experience in pet boarding, grooming, and veterinary care, along with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and dedication to every pet I care for. Your furry family members will receive attentive, loving care from someone who understands their needs and treats them like family. ❤️ Pet care is something I genuinely love and make a priority in my daily routine. I organize my schedule around appointments to ensure each pet receives the time, attention, and personalized care they deserve. I value being dependable and flexible while maintaining a calm, safe, and loving environment for every furry family member in my care. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility seriously. During potty breaks, I will stay outside with your dog and actively supervise them in the backyard. I will check gates and doors to help prevent escapes and ensure your pup stays safe and secure. During walks, I will keep your dog securely leashed, follow your instructions, and use safe handling practices to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. I will be mindful of our surroundings, avoid unfamiliar dogs and potentially unsafe situations, and watch for signs of stress, overheating, or fatigue. I will also respect your pet’s individual needs, follow any special care instructions you provide, and make sure I have the appropriate emergency contact information in case an unexpected situation arises. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for your pet. Your peace of mind matters to me, and I want you to feel confident knowing your furry family member is being treated with the same care and attention I would give my own. ❤️🐶🐱

About: I know that pets can become confused and upset while you are away. I will make sure their needs are met with compassion and love.

I take care of my husband who is a disabled veteran and have free time to meet your pets needs, treating them as if they were my own We have two dogs and three mischievous cats. I'm available to take as much time as needed during visits to ensure all of their needs are met and they are comfortable and loved

“Monique looked after our cat for 2 weeks and did a fantastic job. She gave clear and detailed updates and was very enthusiastic and communicated well. She also was happy to help with some additional tasks for us.”

“Lola was wonderful with my cats while I was away on vacation! She was reliable, very communicative, and sent the sweetest pictures with each of her three drop-in visits. I especially appreciated knowing that someone caring and trustworthy was checking on them while I was away. She clearly interacted with them and her updates gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely book Lola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable pet sitter!”

About: Since I was a young girl, I have always been fascinated by animals—particularly dogs. I begged my parents to get me my first pet—Jasper, a rescued Labrador retriever—at age 7. Taking care of Jasper was my main focus as well the odd assortment of fish and hamsters we had. When Jasper passed, and I graduated high school, my next door neighbor had a litter of golden retriever puppies. I was ready to have another animal, and that’s when Kensie came into my life. Kensie was my soul dog, and she passed away two years ago. We did everything together—going to dog parks around town, Zilker park, and even red bud (before the algae), and going to dog-friendly establishments in Austin. She was my best friend. Unfortunately, her last few months on earth were extremely challenging. I was up with her three to four times a night (sometimes more), administering multiple medications, and helping her stand/walk. When the time came to say goodbye, I could barely make the decision to let her go. I miss her so much, but because of my current living situation, don’t have the opportunity to get another dog. That’s where Rover comes in. I love animals, and am extremely responsible when it comes to taking care of someone’s pet. This will give me my ‘fix’ and also be a productive side hustle for me. It will be an honor to walk//watch your pet. I will give the very care and concern I gave my own pets. Not only have I had my own pets, but I have experience with a variety of breeds—including catahoulas and boxers. As mentioned above, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and administering medication. I’m currently in a transition phase in my life, and am looking for something productive and rewarding. I have pretty much limitless availability to cater to whatever your dog may need. At the moment, I can’t accept any dogs into my home, but if given the opportunity to stay at a client’s house, I would follow all instructions given while simultaneously respecting the space and showering your dog with love and attention.

About: I have owned dogs since I was a kid. They have all been there for me in every stage of my life and don’t know what I would do without them. Just want to share the love that I have for my own dogs to others. I am currently a student-athlete at Southwestern University and am looking to love on some dogs as well as make a little bit of extra money to help. My pet dog Cocoa is very crazy and a lot to handle yet we always have the best time together and make everything we do work so I am capable of helping with any sort of pup or dog!

“Erin is absolutely incredible! Leaving my fur baby is always tough, but Erin made it completely stress-free. He sent regular updates, cute photos, and communicated so well. I could tell my fur baby was genuinely happy and well cared for. I will absolutely be booking Erin again and cannot recommend him enough!”

I can adjust the walk to whatever your dogs needs are. If he has a lot of energy then he will getting in some good exercise with me. If your dog needs to get into shape I am sure to give them a good workout. If he's a senior who likes to take his time and sniff around during his walks, then that is how it will go! I also offer drop-ins where I can give your dog some quality time fun of loving to brighten up his day. I will carefully follow your instructions.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and grew up as the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. Caring for pups is second nature to me! One day I dream of opening a dog park/sanctuary, but until then, I’m here to give your dog lots of love, attention, and tail-wagging care while you’re away. I currently work remotely. I am able to do same day drop ins or plan ahead! I am very happy taking pups on walks/runs! I run everyday! I can stop by for a quick potty break or stay awhile to give your pup some company! I am happy to take them out for a walk or let them run in your backyard! I can also crate them or whatever works best for you!

“Jordan went above and beyond to make our cats and parrots comfortable. It was such a relief to know someone was looking in on them and giving them some attention while we were gone!”

About: I have grown up having dogs my entire life. I have two family dogs named Comet who is 15 years old and Lucy who is 8 years old. I love my dogs and have taken great care of them. I also regularly walked a dog named Lucy (different from my family’s dog Lucy) twice a week for a year while in college along with many other walks, drop-in visits, or sitting opportunities over the past six years. I enjoy walking, sitting, and doing drop-in visits for dogs. They bring me great joy, have such fun personalities, and get me outside for some exercise and fresh air. I am a social worker who is currently working on transferring licenses from states. With that said, I am currently very flexible with my schedule. I will always prioritize your pet’s needs. I usually like to see what the dog is doing in their own space or in a new space like my house so I can learn their preferences. I am always in the same room as the dog and never leave them on their own. My house is very clean and organized. There is plenty of living room and bedrooms space for them to roam around.

“Amarys was awesome with our cat Brodie! She sent lots of pictures and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was loved while we were away!”

About: I've taken care of doggies for 15+@ times since I became 20. Loved these experience and I volunteered abandoned doggy shelters in Korea too :) Currently I am working from home so I can go walk with puppies whenever you want :) doggie or kittie can be with me 24 hrs. Currently I live in the Apt in Round rock and it has a fenced yard so it is safe enough for walking and playing a ball with doggies.

About: Raised around animals of all shapes and sizes from a young age, caring for pets is second nature to me. I’ve owned and loved both cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments my entire life—from energetic puppies and curious kittens to sweet, gentle seniors. This lifelong experience means I understand their unique body language, daily routines, and individual needs, ensuring your pets feel completely safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Working a hybrid schedule, I am only in the office for a couple of hours four days a week. During these short trips away, your pet remains safe and secure inside my home—either comfortably resting in a crate or roaming freely, depending on your preferences and training needs. The rest of my time is fully spent working from home, allowing me to stick to consistent feeding, play, and potty routines while giving your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, pet care is centered on keeping your dog safe, comfortable, and happy. I have a fully fenced-in backyard that provides a secure space for outdoor play, alongside access to tons of great local walking trails for daily exercise. At home, I have the sweetest 4-year-old pup who is always excited to make new friends and keep your pup entertained throughout their stay!

“Lakin was so good with our pets. She went above and beyond to care for anything that needed done. We will definitely book again when we go away.”

(My strict cancellation policy is to make sure my potential clients are absolutely serious about sending their babies to my place, because my time is extremely valuable and 100% dedicated to the dogs in my care.
