I can’t recommend Kelly enough! He was incredibly responsive and accommodating, even with my last-minute request. He was thoughtful in understanding Rambos behavior and needs during drop off and kept me updated with frequent photos throughout the week. His dog Jasper was wonderful with Rambo and they seemed to be having so much fun running in the huge backyard and playing together. It was clear Kelly cared about my pups wellbeing and ensured he had an abundance of attention, exercise and playtime. I felt at ease knowing Rambo was in such good hands!

Carmen was fantastic! Her dog and mine got along very well, and she gave my boys lots of love and snuggles. This was my first time leaving them with her, and I know that, when I need her again, my boys will be very happy to stay with her. If I could give 10 stars, I would. If you need a sitter, don't hesitate to call on her!

About: Hi, I’m Wes, a passionate animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve fostered several pets and have also volunteered at animal shelters, helping animals in need and participating in fundraisers for their care. I’m experienced in administering medication and understand how to provide the special attention that pets need, whether it’s a playful companion or a more sensitive pet. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities, so you can trust that they’re in good hands while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, and I make sure to prioritize it with consistency and attention. I structure my day around the needs of the pets in my care, ensuring they get regular feeding, exercise, and playtime, whether that’s walks, fetch, or just cuddling. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet, adjusting to their specific routines and needs. Whether it’s administering medication, going on walks, or providing companionship, caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and seamlessly integrate into my everyday life. As a sitter, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for pets, whether in my home or my client’s. In my home, I ensure a safe, pet-friendly space with plenty of toys, cozy resting areas, and a consistent routine that mirrors their usual schedule. In your home, I respect your space while maintaining your pet’s regular routine, providing them with plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise. I always follow specific instructions for feeding, medication, and care to make sure your pet feels secure and well taken care of. My goal is to make them feel at ease while you’re away!

About: Howdy yall! My name is Brett and I live in Smithville (78957), just east of Austin. My house has a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and is great for extended stays. I’ve raised many breeds of dog, including helping the birthing process! Must be friendly with other dogs, as I have dogs who get along great with all manner of beasts. I work from home and literally have no social life in this small town. Point is, I am a home body that is always working on my home and sanctuary. Dogs here get constant attention, treats, and lots of yard time. I love taking long walks in the neighborhood with the dogs and it’s a great area for it! There are several areas for dogs to sleep and make themselves at home. Each room has a dog bed and the living room couch is owned by the dogs. I am currently kenneling one dog who has a leg injury, so I’m patient with pups and know how to administer medications.

We used Kat to board our 4 month old puppy! She is amazing!!!! He came back better behaved then we left him and you could tell he had a blast with her dogs, which the positive socialization really acted as a huge bonus. Thanks Kat for being on call for us, so flexible and providing the best care for our little family member. It was so nice to leave him for a week and not worry!
