“Alison is great! Communication and meetup was easy. She took great care of our dog and looked happy at pickup. Alison also sent pictures during the day. Great experience!”

About: Hi, I’m Ashley. I work from home and offer thoughtful, low-stress care for both dogs and cats. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away — with a routine that’s calm, structured, and tailored to their needs. Every stay starts with a gentle welcome to help your pet ease into the space — including calming music and quiet downtime. Once they’re feeling settled and secure, we turn up the fun with play, affection, and plenty of personalized attention. In addition to boarding and daycare, I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking, with the same level of care and attention to what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m home full-time during the week, which gives me the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s routine — whether they need quiet rest, structured play, or extra attention during the day. I’m also happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever I can. I live in a two story townhome in a pet friendly complex, with a few go-to enrichment tools to keep pets mentally stimulated between walks or play time.
“Denise was so amazing with Finley. Sometimes he takes a while to warm up to people, and within an hour he was sleeping on her lap! We will definitely be using Denise again-- she has a way with animals.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors, and I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medication, and giving each dog the attention they need. I treat every pup like family. I’m home full-time, which means your dog will have my full attention throughout the day. From regular walks and playtime to feeding and cuddle breaks, I’ll be there to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. You can relax knowing they’re never left alone for long and are getting plenty of care and companionship. I live in a pet-free home with a fenced yard, providing a quiet and safe space for your dog to relax and play. Your dog will get my full attention, daily exercise, and lots of love while you're away.
“Bassam was absolutely wonderful with Lady Guienvere. It’s so refreshing to find a sitter who is just as enchanted with my fur baby as I am. He was attentive, gentle, and clearly cared deeply for her comfort and happiness. I truly appreciated the care he showed my little one, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”

“Jillian was a godsend! I was in a pinch looking for a sitter last minute and she stepped in. Communication was super quick and clear, and it seemed like Maya had a really good day with her ☺️ highly recommend!”

“My dog Otto had a fun day with Kristen and her family. Kristen has a nice fenced in yard for dogs and her house is across the street from a park where they spent lots of time. Kristen also has lots of dog toys in her yard that Otto enjoyed playing with. Kristen's dog Zoey is very sweet and would get along with any dog, and Kristen's children took an interest in Otto. Kristen sent pictures even though I didn't request them (thank you!), she was very flexible about drop off and pick up times, and her location in South Austin was very convenient for us. I recommend Kristen without reservation.”

Reid and Sabrina, ably assisted by Dexter and Kramer took such good care of our dog Pepsi! She came back happy and tired and we received lots of nice pics and even a video while she was with them. Good vibes from the start, would 100% recommend them to mind your dog!

Zaina was excellent with my two Great Pyreness- loved that she was willing to do a true meet and greet so we both felt comfortable with the experience. She was punctual, provided my pups with exercise( walking) and snacks throughout the day in my home. She also helped out with medication administration for one of my dogs and was diligent about this each day proactively remembering even when I had rushed out the door! If you are looking for a calm, pet loving sitter I highly recommend Zaina!

Hanna is the best!! Chance loves spending the day with her and Remy, and I love knowing he’s having fun with friends and getting love and attention all day. Hanna sends updates and pictures as well, which I appreciate! I know Chance will be excited to spend the day with them again :)

Sarah took amazing care of our puppy for daycare. She made sure she always had food and water, and she went above and beyond with updates throughout the day. We feel lucky to have found her, and we’d absolutely book another daycare/play day with her (and her pups) again!

Mackenzie was wonderful!! It was immediately apparent how much experience she has caring for animals, and she made me feel at ease knowing my fur baby would be in great care! My dog can be shy, takes meds, and has Sep anx and she handled his routine like a pro! Will definitely book again!

We really appreciate Tara and Preston! And Max loves spending time with them and Jet! They really go above and beyond! Max can't wait play the day away, get his exercise, and socialize. We're all looking forward to our next visit - Max most of all! Thanks for always taking such good care of our favorite guy!
