“Anna is wonderful! She took great care of our pet, took him around town and always kept us updated with pictures throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend!”


“Patches is the greatest sitter I’ve booked on Rover! Super accommodating and responsive. Coyo loves going over to for doggy day care and sleepovers with his friends at Patches house! I recommend for everyone to book”


“Cassandra and Jason were great at communicating and giving me updates about how my pup was doing! He can be an anxious and high energy dog, but he seemed so happy and relaxed during his recent stay. Will definitely rebook for future trips!”


“Marissa is amazing and took such wonderful care of our little Uchi! It was our first time having someone outside of our family and friends care for him and we could not have been happier. Lots of pictures and updates and overall an amazing, seamless experience!”


“Elijah watched our active dog for a weekend and we are so pleased by the care he was given. He seemed to have a great time and be well taken care of. Elijah is a great communicator and clearly loves dog! Highly recommend! Our dog Finn can’t wait to go back!”


“I can’t thank Lily enough for accepting my request to board my dog Chili last minute. Chili came back a happier dog than when I dropped her off. Lily sent great updates throughout the day which really showed how much she cares!!”


“Daniela was great with my girl! She sent plenty of updates and made sure Tiki had a good time. Would highly recommend if in the Austin area :)”


“We needed Rover for a last minute trip and could not have been more happy with Christine! She was super flexible and sent plenty of pictures. You could tell she is an animal lover and our dogs had plenty of love while we were away. Thank you!”

“Did a great job looking after my dog. He came back relaxed and stress free.”


“Sarah was a great communicator the entire time and proactive about all logistical things! She was super flexible when I had to add an additional day of care last minute and checked in about anything she had a question about while my dog was with her. Keanu came home happy and well-cared for :)”


“Aine communicated frequently and sent lots of pictures, videos and updates. Their dog is very friendly too and their home has a nice big yard for the dogs to play.”


“Jeff and his partner took amazing care of our two dogs while we were away! From the moment we met them, we felt completely at ease knowing our pups would be in great hands. They treated our dogs like part of the family, and it was clear they were both well cared for and truly enjoyed their stay. Our dogs got plenty of attention, love, and playtime—and they especially loved hanging out with their sweet dog, Whiskey! It was such a comfort to know they were having fun and getting along so well. Jeff sent us regular updates and photos, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with Jeff again. Highly recommend!”


“Rafa took great care of my dog and went beyond the extra mile by taking him to some fun excursions. He kept me updated daily with pictures. My dog was tired when I picked him up, which I’d say is a success!”


About: My husband Preston grew up a dog lover with his two yellow labs, and I am a new dog lover after we got our lovely boy Jet a couple of years ago. We are responsible and would love to take care of your fur baby like it’s our own! Preston grew up dog sitting for friends and family where as I have cared for many a friends dogs throughout the years! I am full time work from home with a flexible schedule. We typically bring our dog out i around 10 am and 6pm for about an hour each as well as 20 minutes around 2 and 10 pm but are available for more frequent walks as needed in addition to a backyard, balconies and toys and splash pad! We have 1 dog (2 year old ~60lb boy named Jet). We live near a park and him twice a day for long walks and frequent the greenbelt. We also have a nice backyard for the dogs to enjoy some fresh air! We have a two floor house if your dog needs to be crated or separated for meal/bed times happy to do that as well!

“Rose was great! She’s super friendly and has everything your pet needs for an overnight stay. My Beaux had so much fun in her beautiful fully gated yard and lovely home. Also, her booking was super simple and very fast!!! She responds within 10-20 mins at the longest and always sends photos of your fur baby during the stay. I look forward to booking her again for my Beaux.”


“Could not have asked for a better dog sitter! She was so sweet, sent me multiple updates each day, and was always quick to respond to me. If I could give Manuela 10 stars out of 5, I would!”


“Barbara always provides the best services out of any dog sitter I have used in Austin. Multiple photo updates through out the day and very good with dogs. Charlie now gets very excited to see her anytime I need to drop him off which is a good feeling as a pet owner”



“The best! As always she makes us feel at ease when we leave our fur babies at her home. Lilia cares for your dogs just like her own. She even took care of our pups injured paw and kept us updated everyday. She did the extra mile and gave our pup a little birthday photo shoot too.”


“Gabe was great with Reese! He trained her two new commands so that she could walk better on a leash. My baby was pooped by the time she got home and that says a lot because she is a pretty energetic dog. Thanks again for taking care of her on such short notice!”


“David was great! Communication was clear throughout the entire process. He sent multiple pictures and videos of Junie during her visit. Even gave me a little picture of her in a frame! I will continue to come back in the future!”
