“Riley is the best and my pup Sage loves her walks with him. It’s so nice to come home to a happy and calm dog. I have no doubt that she is always taken such good care of by Riley. He’s gone above by bringing in packages on my doorstep, picking up her dog toys, etc. I love getting to see all the pictures and updates of my fur baby while I’m at work.”

About: I give dogs a calm & predictable experience. I adjust to different personalities and energy levels, whether that’s a relaxed senior dog or a more playful, active pup. I can help with walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding, and I’m flexible when my schedule allows (including last-minute requests!). I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep each dog’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable :) **Note: potty-trained is a requirement for care in my home - thanks! My schedule is flexible, so I can help with walks and drop-ins during the week, as well as daycare and boarding. I follow your dog’s routine, whether it’s a quick visit/walk or a longer stay at my house. Aside from the occasional errand or outing, I'm home most of the day (weekdays and weekends) and spend a lot of time with the dogs in my care. My dog, Emory, is very easygoing and gets along well with both calm and playful dogs. Dogs have access to a fenced yard and doggie door, and I'm available to provide potty breaks as often as needed for dogs who can't use it. They're also welcome to get on the furniture! For walks and drop-ins, I treat your home with the same respect I would my own and make sure everything is secure when I leave. I provide regular updates and follow your dog's routine and any specific instructions to help you and your dogs feel comfortable while you're away.

About: I have four dogs at home, a cat, and two tarantulas! Thus, i’ve had plenty of pet care-taking experience since I was a child! I take my dogs on walks, play with them, feed them, and offer cuddle time every day! I also have a cat, which goes the same for her too :) I can also take care of exotic pets, as I do so for my two tarantulas. I’m available to take care of your pets anytime besides Monday nights from 5:30-6:30pm. Otherwise, your convenience is my first priority. I can do overnight and even check on your pets in the early morning. My care is crafted around your time and needs. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in both my home and clients’ homes. I closely follow care instructions, maintain a clean environment, provide regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, and ensure pets feel calm, secure, and well-supervised at all times. I can crate your dog as needed, play with them, let them out, etc.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for pets my entire life & enjoy pet sitting for family and friends. I love to walk & hike & will ensure your dog has plenty of exercise. Also enjoy playing fetch in my fenced in yard or providing attention & company for older pets. I have experience giving medications and providing extra care for senior dogs. I work full time at home Monday - Friday & have flexibility to provide walks & playtime during the day & after work at my house. I am also available for pet sitting cats at your home. I have a fenced yard for your dog to play outside. Your pet can roam freely inside or sleep in a crate based on your preference.

About: Hello everyone!, my name is Dominique and I have always had a dog in my life. My earliest memories consist of watching and helping my dog give birth and raise 10 puppies when I was 4 years old. Volunteering at the Austin Animal Center as a teenager was a natural step in my love for animals. I walked the small dogs outside for bathroom breaks and playtime while keeping puppies occupied when their crates were getting cleaned. I also walked the large dogs from their suites to the group play area and supervised multiple large dogs’ interactions. My friends have been trusting me to care for their animals and homes for 7 years now, and I have absolutely loved it! My experience ranges from small dogs to big dogs, puppies to seniors, and I have administered oral medication numerous times. The longest I have house sat was a week straight and the most animals I have cared for at a time is 4. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies❤️ I am currently working part time as a babysitter so I have a lot of availability for walks, feeds, hangouts, play, and cuddles! I am available seven days a week for feedings, walks, and daytime care starting at 10:30 am and into the night. For housesitting visits, I can come and stay at your house Friday night, Saturday night, and holidays for overnight care. First of all, I respect, follow, and complete all written or spoken directions on how to care for your pet and take care of your house. A typical sitting appointment for me is being there to provide food/water, frequent bathroom breaks, outside play, inside play (if given permission), a walk around the neighborhood (if requested), and a movie night with unlimited cuddles 🥰. I believe that it’s important to follow your pets’ cues so if they need extra attention, I am there to play or run around and if they need more space/alone time, I give them that time adjust. While we are having nap/down time, I will complete any household task asked of me which can consist of gathering the mail, putting out trash cans, watering the plants, etc. My favorite part of this experience is forming a bond with clients both human and dog so you can feel comfortable leaving your home in a trusted person’s hands!

“Nicholas was a lifesaver and walked Nala last minute for us. He was great with our Great Dane puppy and we really appreciate his flexibility. Would definitely recommend!”

“Puanani was a wonderful caretaker and friend to my furry family! Nice long walks, great details, photos and attention was given to my dog and it made me feel SO much more comfortable being away from home. I will definitely book her services again!”

About: I've always loved animals. From the time I was able to convince my parents to let me get a pet, I've been caring for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, chickens, amphibians, and fish. And because that wasn't enough, I found every opportunity I could to be around more animals, from taking riding lessons to doing 4H to petsitting for friends and family to being an AKC junior handler to volunteering at animal rescues. As I've grown up my love for animals has only grown too! Now, I am a full-time freelancer with plenty of flexibility to come show your pets some of that love. I have experience administering medication and working with animals of all ages and care needs. I am a full-time freelancer so my schedule is very flexible! I have availability in the mornings, evenings, mid-day, on weekdays AND weekends, and even on some holidays. I currently offer services in my clients' homes. In addition to my petsitting experience, I have many years of housesitting experience and will make sure everything is taken care of while you are away!

About: I've helped family, friends and neighbors with their pet care needs since my teen years and love connecting with our animal friends! I especially love the old babies that might need a little more attention! I'm self-employed with a very flexible schedule! I spend my weekends at our fenced in family property in San Marcos and can accommodate staycations for your pup with pick ups & drop offs along the I35 corridor from San Marcos to South Austin. I have a fenced in yard for overnights and boarding clients. I'm happy to cater to most in home care requests - just let me know what you need.

About: From a young age, I started pet-sitting for my neighbors, and continue to do so for my friends as I've gotten older. Pets that I've taken care of include dogs, cats, birds, fish, frogs, rabbits, horses, and even a rooster. During the 2023 holiday season, I found myself in a position alone, and needing to provide medical care to my senior-cat learned how to administer daily SQ fluids, medications, as well as prepping food and medications to administer through a feeding tube every 4 hours. I'm a quick learner and always act accordingly to ensure an animal's well-being. On a very sad note, I lost my fur-daughter in the very early morning right after Christmas in 2023, so I'm taking a break from being a pet owner. When you select me, it makes it all the more special to enjoy the time with your pet(s), including co-sleeping! lol I'm currently starting my own consulting practice & stay in more often than not. so for the most part I am flexible as long as I have an Internet connection. For doggies, I do prefer low-energy ones , & preferably that can go up to 8 hours before needing to be let outside in case I have something going on during the day such as an in-person workshop, but I'm happy to have a quick conversation about their schedule and compare it to mine during the time they'll be in my care, since mine varies on a week-to-week basis. I always make sure to check & double check the the locks when I come & go & will text the owner if I observe something out of the ordinary. When it comes to taking care of pets, I ask the owner if they want the pet to be played with or respect the boundary if they say the pet is stressed around strangers, and just focus on their basic needs of food, water, & whatever else to minimize separation anxiety. In terms of trust, I believe it can be easily lost & not always possible to get back, so I make sure to conduct myself in a way that assures all parties, & results in zero horror stories. More on trust, I worked with children starting in 2019 for 11 years consecutively before moving to Austin, and worked two seasonal Federal Government positions since 2020 & 2021.

About: Know what it takes to deal with weiner dogs, chihuahuas, and even senior dogs. I’ve grown up with all of them. I love all of them and know how to make a dog feel comfortable. I work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to go check on your dog! I know what it feels like to leave your beloved pet at home while you’re at work so I’m happy to step in! I will play with your dog. I will rub your dogs belly. I will feed them and give them water. If they want to run around, I can do that too. I’ll take them potty. Whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it

“Great took very good care of my senior dog. He gave a little extra love and care when she needed it. He is professional and is responsive. I highly recommend him. He was a terrific Dog Walker and will use him again.”
