“The dogs loved Katherine right away. She did a drop in and knew exactly how to manage a visit with s high energy younger dog and a slower senior. Will definitely request ongoing services with Katherine.”

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.
“Karen came to our house and let our dog out while we were traveling. We are new to the area, so the thought of giving a stranger a key to our house was a bit scary. Then we had the meet and greet. My dog was immediately comfortable with Karen and so was I. She sent pictures of each visit. She also texted with any questions. It was a perfect fit for us.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a child. I have done dog and cat sitting since I was 16. I have also taken care of many other kinds of animals. I have taken care of both puppies and kittens as well as Senior dogs that require medication on a routine. I have taken care of pets that are epileptic and diabetic. I'm happy to meet any needs that your pet requires. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play and take care of pets. I am available any day of the week to tend to your pet's needs. I have a reliable form of transportation to go to your home to play with them in their home environment where they feel comfortable and relaxed.
About: I’ve had a variety of dogs all my life, and friends and family know how much I love these special “angels” in our lives~~they are family members to me. Since I have retired from college teaching in 2019, I have a lot of time to devote to my love and care of dogs, in particular. My home is suited for dogs, as I have a nice fenced back yard, sunroom, and small fur babies of my own to play with your special loves.

“Carolyn was great! On time and great daily feedback. She came to our house over the holidays to feed and let our pugs outside. Very reusable, will certainly recommend her. Thank you!!”
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.

“Samia took such excellent care of our Kitty while we were away and even feed our stray kitty that hangs around our house that we are trying to rescue. She provided us w/such peace of mind knowing our pets were well cared for.”
“Jen is a true treasure! She treated my senior babies like her own & they loved her. She even got one of my shy cats to come out and be petted. Loved all the photo updates too. 100% recommended!”


About: I've been raising rescue dogs for 6 years and currently have 3 beautiful fur babies. They are happy and healthy and have overcome their fear of abandonment. I currently work from home so I am able to give my dogs the love and attention they need. We (my dogs and I) frequently spend time outside in the yard playing with toys and chasing lizards. Due to the miraculous ability for digging holes that dachshunds possess, my large yard is now well fortified and fully fenced with a doggy door for easy access.
“This has been my 2nd time using Jackie and she's by far the absolute BEST and I absolutely ADORE her! I have 3 dogs. A senior, a 9 yr old and 1 yr old who is rambunctious as all get out and she is so gracious with them all. Definitely plan on using her again and again.... AND AGAIN 🤣”

About: Ive always enjoyed the little joy animals get when it comes to simple things such as using a high pitch to ask if they want to go on a walk or calling their name. I’m on a babysitting app and I’d love to try interacting with animals since they’re amazing .Animals and humans are different but the responsibility is kind of similar in which I bring. Im a college student so my classes are a little strange that had open gaps which comes with flexibility and just ready to help people throughout my time! I have a cat myself and treat her like my absolute child because animals can also be family members so of course I’ll be treating any animal as my own.
About: I have owned dogs for 12+ years now and just LOVE animals. Some of my own pets have had medical issues (seizures, blindness, heart issues) so I am very familiar with how to care with not only healthy pets but ones with medical needs as well. We have fostered puppies for a local rescue, so we are also familiar with how to handle the hyper activity of a new family member. I have a full time job, but we do come home during lunch to check on our babies and take them out to potty. We are usually home all evening so your fur baby will not be alone after we get out of work. If you are looking into my dog walking services, that can be completed right after work, for however long you need the services. I have a fully fenced yard and my dogs are never left outside unattended. My wife and I care deeply about our own dogs and would put the same care and love into your dogs as well. Our dogs are not crate trained and are allowed to roam the house during the day, but we could crate your dog if that is what you prefer.
About: I know it is difficult to leave your pet while traveling. I want to help alleviate any worries by caring for your fur babies just as you would. I currently work full-time. Young puppies or doggies not crate-trained would be best with another sitter. My weekends are always free, so that would be the best time to book puppies or dogs not crate-trained. I have a large fenced-in yard for playtime outside and a safe neighborhood for walks. Currently my home is pet free and I don’t pet sit for more than one family at a time.
About: I have experience cat and dog sitting for various breeds and ages, and have been doing this for most of my adult life—I love it. From taking your dogs on walks, staying over night with your kitties or puppies, or even taking care of them when they are sick, I would love to make sure your pet is taken care of just as you would yourself. I’ve dealt with rambunctious wire hairs, skittish kittens, and everything in between. I am so excited to meet your favorite doggo or kitto and love on them! I currently have a flexible schedule. When dropping in or taking your pets on a walk I am available 2-3 times a day. For overnight stays I am able to be there every night (all night) and stop in during the day between my work schedules (I work multiple part time jobs for better flexibility). I would be happy to discuss what this looks like further! Please keep in mind I cannot be at your home all day everyday for housesitting / animal sitting unless it is booked over a month in advance and it would cost more as I would need to take time off from other work to make that happen. But if you do not require that level of attention then things will be much easier to figure out! However you choose for me to care for your pets inside your home I am ready and prepared to do! I love cuddling with your pets and making sure they are as comfortable as possible while you are away. All I ask is for clear instructions so I can keep your fur baby’s schedule and environment as consistent as possible.
About: Im very familiar with taking care of dogs,cats,guinea pigs and more as my family and i love animals. I have 2 dogs of my own and 5 in total at my house, and love spending time with them. Im currently working part time and my days are always different, but I work evenings and get out of work no later than 9:30. Im available in the mornings and weekends. I have a fenced yard at my house for all my dogs and we have 4 poodles and 1 pitbull so they need lots of space to run and play.
About: I have experience with both cats and dogs of all sizes. I have a pup of my own that I have trained. He will be turning 3 soon and my cat is 7 years old. I am willing to go the extra mile to make sure both you and your pet are comfortable and happy. With a young pup of my own I know daily exercise is important! I spend time with him when I don’t have class and take him on walks. I make sure they have a safe environment and keep a close eye on them. I will try my best to provide a calm but playful environment.

Helped us out last minute! I am always so nervous about leaving my babies with anyone. Not just because they’re my babies, but they also can come off scary to people. Serena worked out a time to meet with us before our trip and was so affectionate with our pups. We don’t know what we would have done without her! She was also a great photographer for our sometimes not-photogenic pets lol

Danah came and hung out with my animals several times. She did a good job considering it was such short notice. I had specific times that I wanted her to come and she came and not only made sure my animals were safe, but she spent some quality time with them as well. I will definitely request her again in the future.

I can’t say enough about this pet sitter , Angelica… my baby took to her immediately. She was prompt on messages, visits, etc . Dependable, responsible , and caring … and very reliable !!! We were able to be away from our baby, knowing she was being well taken care of, as if we were there with her. Thank you again, Angelica! You are awesome !
I will definitely use Emily again. My cat's mood when I arrived made me realize that he was well cared for during my absence and did not have major separation anxiety. Emily responsed to my last minute request and I felt very comfortable because she was really great with communication and sending images while I was away.

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!

We had a death in the family right before Christmas and had to take a sudden trip for the funeral. It was a huge relief that Carolyn was able to take care of our cat Munchkin during this time - at last minute and in the busy holiday season. I always know my cat is in good hands with Carolyn and I don’t have to worry about her at all.
