About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart (and on my couch). Whether your pup loves belly rubs, long walks, or just snoozing in the sun, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs big and small, energetic and chill, and I always tailor their stay to match their vibe. I treat every dog like my own and always send lots of photo updates so you can relax knowing your fur baby is in great hands. Let me know your dog’s quirks, routines, and favorite treats. I’m all about making their stay feel just like home! I may not have any pets of my own right now, but that just means your dog gets my full, undivided attention (and all the cuddles). No sharing toys, beds, or space. Your pup is the star of the show when they’re with me! About me: My name is Katie. I moved to Austin in Oct 2024. I have been dog sitting on Rover for 2 years prior in OC! I am excited to meet more dogs in Austin and explore all the parks and trails with them. I’m currently working from home so I will be available all day to play and cuddle :) I live in a dog friendly apartment complex next to a lake, trail, and dog park. I can easily fit a crate anywhere as well. I live in a small apartment so I can easily have eyes on your dog at all times.

About: Hey there! I’ve grown up with taking care of collies and cats my whole life! So I have experience with your puppies to older dogs who need more care and attention! I moved here from Nebraska, so I understand how to take care of dogs in both the heat and cold! Missing my animals so ready to help you walk your yours! I currently work a 9-6 in ATX (I’m a brand manager for YETI!) from Mon-Fri, so I’m able to walk in the early morning or evening and I’m able to house sit whenever, and my weekends are totally free and open! I’ll make sure to be respectful, clean, and calm! Whatever the client is asking of me I can do thanks to my experience. Your pet is my top priority!

Christine did an amazing job taking care of my pup. She is great with communication and is always willing to help if she is available. My pup is less anxious when I return from trips and I know that can be attributed to the care Christine provides. I would recommend her to anyone!

Adeline was amazing. She gave us daily updates on how everything was. She sent us a ton of pictures. Her detailed report was spot on. Adeline went above and beyond the call of duty. One of the dogs has an accident in the house and she was a trouper and took care of the issue. I would definitely use her again when we go out of town. Adeline is top notch!!!

Lillian was fantastic! She had great communication and sent lots of photos during each visit, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was punctual and stayed for the full 30 minutes with Juniper, making sure she had all her potty breaks, food, water, and attention. Juniper was clearly comfortable with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Lillian again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs throughout my family and neighborhood growing up. I have taken care of puppies all the way up to senior dogs. I’m currently between jobs, so I am available most days unless I am traveling. When I am working, I work remote so I am pretty flexible. I care for pets however the owner prefers. For example I can crate them and leave them off the furniture if that is preferred or they can be allowed on the couch/bed in my home/owners home for some cuddles!

Kelly will treat your pet like they’re her own! I asked her to drop in a couple of times in my home to take care of my cat, Paul, while I was out of town during Thanksgiving. She was very communicative and you can tell from the pictures my spoiled cat is very happy with her.
