Pet Sitting South Side

About: Looking for someone to love your furry family members or take care of your home while you’re away? Let me help give you peace of mind while you’re on vacation! 6 years of pet and house sitting experience with references. I also have experience of dog care from a doggy daycare/boarding/grooming facility. I have built many long and trusting relationships with the clients and animals while working there. I am currently a stay at home mom so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I also love taking photos so I can send as many photos as desired! I love getting to meet and build a relationship with you and your four-legged friend! I live in a large gated apartment complex on the first floor. My complex has a 5 acre walking trail with 2 fenced in dog parks. I also know a couple of walking trails I would love to take your furry friend on a walk with if allowed!

“Megan responded quickly after a previous sitter cancelled after I was already on vacation. She spent multiple hours playing with my cats over many visits making sure they were being loved on and even brought in packages. She took a ton of pictures for me and assured me Henry and Kip were doing great! I will definitely be using her again!!!”

“Jackie was fantastic. She kept clear and precise communication with us at all times. We have 3 large German Shepherds and Jackie was able to take control and manage our dogs with ease. Our dogs really took a liking to her. I recommend Jackie and will be booking with her again.”

“Crystal was perfect for what we needed. She went above & beyond our expectations taking care of our 2 labs. She kept us informed along the way. We could not have been more pleased with her attention & genuine care. We would recommend her in the highest degree for anyone needed pet services & hope to see her again soon.”

About: Came from a family of multiple large + small breed dogs (pitties, boxers, chihuahuas, I can handle just about anything!) Mother to 3 cats now. I worked at a dog boarding facility in Austin for 2 years. I love creatures of all kinds. I consider my approach to be gentle and intuitive, I'm good at reading animals body language. Experienced with working in high tension situations as well and acting on my toes accordingly for the safety of all! I work an 8-5 full time schedule Monday-Friday. After work + weekend visits are preferred, but can also drop by before work if needed. I treat your home with the respect and care I would my own. I'll keep it a safe and clean environment for your fur baby.

“Katherine looked after my 3 year old cat for 5 days. My cat is not easy or friendly by any means. Katherine feed her at the assigned times and sent pictures when she could find where McKinleigh was hiding! I would recommend Katherine for any fur baby”

“Karen was such a great dog sitter. She was prompt, easy to communicate with and went above and beyond our expectations. She kept us updated while she was with our pet. I would absolutely use her again should the need arrive.”

“Maya was incredibly helpful, kind, and communicated well. She administered oral medications, communicated and handled a situation when my cat had broken into the cabinet to eat some human food, and sent updates with pictures! She truly helped ease the stress when I had to leave last minute for a trip. I will be booking with her again!”

“Lydie was fantastic! Our five cats are very shy around strangers, but she managed to coax most of them out by sitting quietly and talking to them. She also made sure the outdoor kitties had food and water. She was always on time, kept in touch with us with terrific pictures of the cats, and was a pleasure to work with.”

“Meral watched my kitties and was great with them! She made sure I got lots of pictures and was up to date on what was going on!! :) highly recommend”

About: Hello! I’m Desiree. I'm 21 years old. I have one dog named Athena. I love animals, and I am a certified vet assistant. I would love to keep your animals company and take them on walks or to the park! I’m currently enrolled in online college, so I have plenty of time in the morning and evening to take care of your babies. I can work with you to find the best possible schedule for you and your animals I have a puppy who is highly anxious and can be slightly reactive. I have learned about pets' behavior and how to ensure an animal is relaxed and happy. I will ensure your animal is well cared for to your standards and routine.

“Kristina has watched our babies twice so far. She is definitely trustworthy and caring with them. She is on time and sends us cute pictures which helps ease our minds knowing they're safe. Our English Bulldog is a bit shy and skittish, and she definitely warmed up to her right very quickly! I highly recommend Kristina”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, have trained them tricks and love going on walks or runs. I’ve watched neighbors dogs and friends and family. I’m currently a student at TAMUCC but always finding myself with plenty of free time. I would love to play with dogs and make sure they aren’t missing any love. I live in a gated community with plenty of space to roam around either inside or outside. All of my friends have dogs if yours gets lonely!

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.

“Arianna was so amazing! I reached out to her last minute to watch my puppy and I am so grateful I chose her. My puppy is really shy but he warmed up to her so quickly! She took such great care of him! Will be my go to in the future! Also love all the pictures + updates she sends!”

About: My name is Maggie and I am a huge animal lover. I grew up surrounded by animals, whether that be livestock or household pets. I started pet sitting for my neighbors at a young age and have been continuing my pet care journey into adulthood. Because of my many years of experience I am well informed on all sorts of animal care styles, I even worked for a pet boarding and doggy day care facility so I have knowledge in large group settings and smaller group settings of animals. My family has had experience with special needs pets and I am well-versed in animals that need a little extra care and love. I can’t wait to meet your pet and have fun with them! Currently, most of my time is spent with your pets! When I am not walking dogs or cleaning litter boxes I spend most of my time at home baking, taking care of my cat and fish tanks, and working for friends and people I’ve met as a pet/house sitter. Because of my open schedule I have the ability to give endless time and love to your pets! I live in an apartment with my kitty, she’s great with all animals and very social however if your pet does not get along well with her I have the ability to separate them in different rooms. Because of my experience gained throughout my life and at my former job at a pet boarding facility I am also well versed in administering medications and taking care of special needs animals as my family has rescued multiple animals that need a little extra care.

About: My dad has always been a dog type of person, so I’ve been around many all my life. Now I have a toy yorkie of my own and she’s has my heart I currently work part time as a waitress but get out by 3 everyday, so I’d be able to give your pet lots of attention ! I have 2 husky German shepherd mixes and a toy yorkie, all of them are super friendly. We also do have a big fenced backyard.

“We used Kim and Rover for the first time. We have a new puppy who is extremely skiddish. However, it didn't take her any time at all to win our baby over! She communicates, sends pics, and most importantly loves animals. Thanks Kim and we will use you again!”
