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.
“Super last minute request and she was so accommodating with my 3 lil kitties. They were well taken care of and loved on and I came back to all of them relaxed and happy :) Will book again!”

“Allie was great with my pup. I got lots of pics and updates throughout the day and she followed her feeding and medication instructions. Thank you again!!”


“Alicia was great! Was very flexible and communicative, and was kind enough to pick up packages of pet food while I was out of the country. Would definitely recommend!”
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!
“Sierra did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. We got lots of pictures of him playing and getting treats and pets. I will definitely be booking with Sierra again!”


“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!”

“Misha helped us out with somewhat last minute care for our cats and we are so lucky to have found him. He was very communicative, sent us tons of picture updates, and definitely went above and beyond. We definitely hope to be repeat customers!”

“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!!! Mike and Jennifer Rogers Little, Big, and Lilly.”

“Amanda is a great communicator, keeping me updated each day. My cats didn't seem too excited to see me so I know she did a great job of keeping them well-fed and happy. Will use Amanda again!”

“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!”

“Zoe was very responsible and took such good care of our 2 cats. she responded quickly after every message and made everything super easy for us. we definitely recommend Zoe for any pet sitting needs:)”

“Julia did a wonderful job keeping my cat company while I was away for 2 weeks! She was very communicative and provided check-in pictures daily. Also super convenient that she lives in my complex so highly recommend if you live in east downtown Austin!”

“Melissa is fantastic! Great attention to detail, thorough notes and clearly my cats were well loved while I was away. I highly recommend her and will definitely book again!”

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.”
