House Sitting Shady Hollow

“I can't recommend Megan enough! She is reliable and went above and beyond to make sure that my dogs weren't only cared for, but also having a great time while I was gone. I always have a tough time finding a sitter because one of my dogs is aggressive towards other dogs and nervous when meeting new people. But from the first meet-and-greet, it was obvious that Megan was an animal lover and experienced with nervous dogs, so mine warmed up to her in no time! She sent regular updates with photos to let me know what they were doing, and when my trip was unexpectedly extended another day, she offered to stay longer which made my life a whole lot easier. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a sitter, and she'll be the first person I reach out to when I need another one in the future!”

“Great experience with Dominique taking care of our pups. Pups are super happy and she takes great care of our home. I would highly recommend her to anyone else.”

“Jessica was amazing taking care of my two doggos at home! My pup has separation anxiety and he was happy boy during her overnight stay! She is quick to respond and very attentive to them!”

Mary B.

“Our dog does not like people other than my wife really. But she took to Christine on day one and was climbing into her lap that night. It is such a relief to know someone who gets along with our dog is taking care of them. Would definitely hire again!”

“Kasey was so professional, communicative, and patient with my high energy border collie! I was scrambling to find a dog sitter at the last minute, and Kasey saved the day! I will defiantly be reaching out to have her watch blue again in the near future.”

“Luna was absolutely wonderful! have two older animals (dog and cat) both whom have very detailed instructions for their routine throughout the day and Luna did not miss a beat. She house sat for me for several days and left my house in better condition than what I left it. Will definitely use her services again and can’t recommend her enough”

“Brandon was great with my dog Sadie! His communication was great, and everything was great when arriving back to my home. I would highly recommend!”

Tristan R.

“Jamie is the best! She is super responsive in communication, sends cute updates and pictures on our little dog, and my family just feels good knowing she's at our house. She's flexible, and always so helpful with random needs like bringing in our excessive packages and mail! Hahaha. We hope she's always available for upcoming times we need to leave town!”

About: I’ve had experience pet sitting as well as pet owning. I’ve also done a microchip and tagging clinic at the Austin Animal Center. I have two dogs of my own - 8 and 16 - so I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages. I have full time classes during the week, but I am free Friday Saturday Sunday for house sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins! If you have more questions about my schedule or anything else, feel free to reach out :) I make sure to put equal time and care into every pet I work with. I have great attention to detail, a compassionate gentle demeanor, and a love for all animals. I always take pride in providing the best pet care I can.

About: I’m full time to stay at home. I’ve been caring for my two dogs, two cats, and five kittens since I was kids. so I understand the different needs and personalities of pets. I’ve also been training my dogs using American Sign Language (ASL), which has been an amazing and rewarding experience! I’m dedicated to keeping all pets happy, healthy, and safe. I treat every animal like family and make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. Currently I have two cats and a small dog in my apartment and stay home most of the time. Caring for pets fits well into my schedule, and I’m happy to adjust as needed. The key is you communicate with me all the time if ur pet needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment, follow routines carefully, and keep pets happy while keeping owners updated. I have a ton of toys for pets.

About: I’ve taken care of various dog breeds but never trained one. Family always had cats but animals, especially dogs have always been my passion. Love to go on long walks but don’t always feel safe as a young woman, would rather have a dog by my side. Also in the market for a dog and would like to explore potential breeds/experience. I currently work remotely and don’t have a set schedule. Every day looks different therefore, so my availability is very open when it comes to pet care. I live in an apartment/don’t have a yard so I would come to your home. I can take your dogs out to get exercise, simply let them out, or stay full time. Cats I’m able to drop by or stay full time, and do basic cat care tasks. Enrichment/playtime included.

“Dina took great care of both my dog and my house while I was away! My dog Penny takes a while to warm up to new people but she seemed very happy with Dina.”

“Morgan is amazing with animals! My dog was very content and peaceful when I returned from my trip. Morgan sent photo updates and gave her lots of snuggles. Will book with her again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets, homes, and property for friends and family. From dogs and cats to small rodents, animals have always been a big part of my life and my family. I started pet and house sitting at 19, and now, at 26, I’ve built years of trusted experience caring for pets with patience, attention, and reliability. As an active person, I love spending time outdoors with animals, whether that’s walking, playing, or just keeping them company and helping them stay comfortable in their routine. I also understand the importance of maintaining good control and awareness while handling pets of different sizes and personalities. I do have asthma, but it has never stopped me from being dependable, active, and fully attentive while caring for animals. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness always come first with me! Hi! I’m a South Austin pet sitter currently accepting drop-in visits and house sitting bookings. I love providing dependable, personalized care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Being local allows me to provide reliable care for nearby families while keeping up with your pet’s normal routine. I specialize in caring for cats and small dogs and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and needs. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, meals, fresh water, playtime, enrichment, medication reminders, walks, or extra companionship, I’m happy to help! I prioritize communication and will always provide thoughtful updates, photos, and details so you can feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for. I’m currently flexible with my schedule and available for both drop-in visits and house sitting. Starting August 24th through December 10th, my availability will be focused on drop-in visits Friday–Monday due to my school schedule. While my weekday availability will be more limited during this time, I’ll continue providing consistent, attentive care and clear communication for every booking I accept. I also love becoming a familiar face for pets and their families, so repeat clients are always welcome! My goal is to make pet care easy and stress-free for you while giving your pets the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I’d love the opportunity to become a trusted sitter for you and your pets in the South Austin area! When booking with me, you can expect reliable care, clear communication, and someone who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I make it a priority to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll provide updates, photos when requested, and make sure your pets receive attention, exercise, affection, and a clean environment while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with respect, care, and responsibility so you can feel at ease knowing they’re in good hands.

About: Hi, my name is Tracey and I’m a cat owner to my two baby boys Milo & Squirt! I am also a big dog lover and sometimes care for my friend’s and family’s dogs when they are in need. I’ve pretty much been around cats and dogs my whole life and have so much love for them. I currently have full availability to spend as much time going on walks, providing care, cleaning, checking in, and sitting. I also use dog waste baggies for dog walks and will also take care of any litter boxes that need scooping or refilling. I am also trained on administering pills for both dogs and cats if needed. I am always respectful of property and willing to help in any way I can. I will always provide pictures and arrive in a timely manner. Keeping your pet safe and secure is my ultimate goal. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time and availability to suit your needs. I’m available any day of the week at any time. I can easily let your dog let out for potty breaks on a leash while going for a walk or in your backyard with no problem. If you need your pet put back into a kennel, I can also do that as well. I usually give my own cats a treat time once a day to keep them occupied so if that is something you’d want me to do for yours, please let me know!

About: I have been blessed with many wonderful pets in my life, both big and small! I currently own a horse, Felix. Unfortunately, my dog Alfie passed at 17 years old in January. Although I am not quite ready for a new in home pet of my own, I'd love to help you with yours! I have owned both cats and dogs through my life from puppy/kitten stage to senior life. I have experience with watching dogs, cats, and horses. I have no problem administering medication and I'm comfortable with all ages, sizes, and breeds. 95% of my job is working from home, because of that I am quite flexible in my schedule. On occasion, I do travel for work/personal but will do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date. My home is pet free, which means your pup will get my full attention! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. I have a nice sized patio that is fully covered. The area has a lot of green space and sidewalks perfect for a long stroll. There is also a dog park available if your dog particularly enjoys being social. I allow dogs on my furniture and bed, however have no issue with sticking to the rules if that is not part of your daily routine.

“Elena is the best, she sent me pictures of Pippi. She took her on long walks. Gave her affection. We both missed each other. Elena also kept my house clean. I will totally be rebooking for overnight care.”

“I couldn't have asked for a better in-home dog sitter. From the very beginning, communication was outstanding. I received regular updates, photos, and messages that kept me informed and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Caleb’s professionalism was exceptional throughout the entire experience. He is reliable, attentive, and followed every instruction carefully. It was clear that he genuinely cared about my dog and treated my home with the utmost respect. When I returned, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, and my home was in perfect condition. Knowing that both my pet and my home were in such capable hands made all the difference. I would not hesitate to recommend Caleb to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional sitter; which I look forward to booking with again!”

“I am so lucky to have found Maddy to watch our senior pup and turtle while we were away for Thanksgiving! She is very responsive and kept our home clean and tidy, too. It was amazing to have a worry free trip knowing she was caring for our pets.”

“Deanna took such great care of our dog. She sent detailed updates every morning along with lots of pictures. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog. We were able to enjoy our vacation and will be using Deanna again in the near future.”
