About: I absolutely adore animals and I pride myself in taking very good care of them. From being active to making sure they have the correct food and vitamins in their diet, I cover it all. I want every animal to feel cared for and special in my presence. I am a freelance artist working in the city of Austin on a few different projects, but nothing I can't take with me on the road to care for your babies! I am a very gentle person and I rely upon approaching all animals with respect, care and patience. Not every animal wants to socialize, but that's okay! I want you to know your family members are safe with me. I have over 20 years of experience and own a menageries of animals myself (1 dog and 4 cats).
About: I am very patient and understanding with dogs and cats and always have a soft spot for animals. I have experience working with older dogs and medication they might need. I am working around a few different aspects such as college schooling, some social gatherings with friends, and overall business. Many weekends I am free and some weekdays I am also free. I do not own any pets but I did watch my friend’s family dogs for many years. I have had a dog and a cat in the past.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a few years of hands-on experience volunteering at the Austin Animal Center. While there, I helped with microchip and tagging clinics, walked all kinds of dogs, and made sure the animals were well-fed and cared for. I also love helping out friends, family, and neighbors with their pets whenever they need an extra hand! I have two sweet pups of my own — one is 7 and the other is 15 — so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs at all life stages, from playful pups to senior sweethearts. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I’ll treat yours like part of my own family! I’m currently a student at Texas State University, and whenever I’m home, I love picking up pet sitting (and a little babysitting too!). Caring for animals has always been something I enjoy and feel confident doing — it’s a great way for me to stay active and spend time with pets while helping out families in my community. I provide attentive care by walking, feeding, and playing with pets to make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I’m flexible with your needs — whether that means staying overnight or simply spending quality time with your pet at home. I also have experience administering medication, as I care for my own senior dog and understand the importance of staying on schedule with treatments.
About: I've taken care of my own dogs since the age of 10, now 61 and retired. The wife doesn't want a dog at home to help us free up to travel. I'm looking to help others, and get my dog fix from walking and sitting for others. I recently retired, so my schedule is usually wide open. I am extremely flexible. I'll work with folks, around their schedules, and be very accommodating. I will work with the clients to provide the best care and service, to the clients' needs and specifications. I just love to walk and play with dogs.

Adriene D.
“Adriene has known me and my cat for many years now and she's always handled him very well. He's got some aggression yet she handles him with care and has never had an incident with him. I've never once seen her get angry with an animal, she really is a person of great patience and care. She adores animals and would make an excellent caretaker for any animal; she's even cared for birds and exotic animals, as well as reptiles.”
Coby S.
“I have known Coby for 12+ years and have always found him to be kind hearted, sincere, responsible and a true pet lover. He came into our house several times to help babysit our fur kids and they were always happy, healthy and loved. We had 2 black labs and I knew when Coby was with them, I had nothing to worry about. He played with them, fed them, sent us pictures and videos and most of all he loved them. I always came home to healthy, happy pets. Sadly our labs are now gone, but in the 15 and 16 years we had them, Coby was an important person in their lives. Most recently Coby has taken care of our 4 year old bearded dragon and just like with the dogs, there were no issues. He took amazing care of him and we came back to a healthy and happy beardie. I can't recommend Coby enough, he has a good heart and a true love for animals.”
Megan M.Star Sitter
“Megan has been petsitting for us for more than 5 years. We love her and, more importantly, so do our pets. She takes time to play with the animals as well as tend to the basic feeding, walking, etc. We also appreciate that she'll take pictures of our fur babies and send them to us when we are on vacation. It's those little thoughtful touches that makes her our favorite petsitter! I would strongly recommend her petsitting services.”
brian a.
“I have known Brian since 2013. He’s watched my 2 dogs on multiple occasions when my family went out of town. He loves all dogs and I knew they would be in good hands with him. He treats them like they are an extension of his own family. I highly recommend Brian to anyone who seeks his service.”
Ellen C.
“Ellen was amazing! We had some last minute changes to our trip and she was very accommodating! We came home to a happy, sleeping puppy and are so thankful!”
Shady Hollow pet parents share their Rover experiences
Tiffani is a very reliable house/cat sitter! She took amazing care of our two cats with two drop-in visits each day for two weeks. She sent us frequent detailed updates/photos. We didn’t have any worries as our cats and home were so well taken care of. We will definitely request her sitting services again soon.
Isabella was AMAZING! She went above and beyond to care for my cat for 2 weeks. She spent lots of time with him and sent me tons of photos. She followed all of my instructions and did an excellent job looking after my cat. I definitely hope to hire Isabella again in the future. Highly recommend!
My cats seem to really like Michael during the weekend of drop-in visits. Went ahead and booked him again for some upcoming overnights for a longer trip I have planned. Michael was very easy to get ahold, he responded quickly and was willing to answer all the questions I had.
Emily is absolutely amazing! She is a true professional and great communicator who gave extensive updates and photos during the visit. Emily is also very trust worthy and I feel comfortable having her visit the house. Most importantly, she gives me peace of mind to be away by providing exceptional care and love to my Penny.
