Dog Sitting The Hills

“Cheryal went above and beyond while taking care of my 3 cats while I was out of town! She sent daily updates and pictures of my kitties and they seemed quite happy and well taken care of when I returned home! She even brought my Amazon packages indoors without me asking her to! I will definitely be booking her pet care services again!”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals. I've taken care of dogs, cats, goats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more. I have a particular soft spot for rats because I kept them as pets for over a decade. I also rehabilitated a couple of red-eared sliders growing up, have had some experience caring for bearded dragons, and had a pet tarantula many years ago. As of recently, I've started volunteering with a Texas wildlife rescue and rehabilitation facility in Kendalia, Texas. Suffice to say, my love of animals runs deep. My experience is relatively varied, and whether you want me to farm-sit or dog-sit, I am both excited and prepared to do either. I volunteer weekly for Kendalia Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation, where I am surrounded by many different kinds of animals, and I am constantly learning new things about their care needs. Over the summer, when I return to my family, I resume my usual responsibilities and mix pig feed, feed out hay to our goats, put up the chickens, clean as and where it's needed, and make sure that everybody's water is always clean and topped off. The routines surrounding these animals are second-nature to me, and I'm very comfortable around them, and find time spent looking out for them to be very fulfilling. I think it's very important to engage with the animals under my care, and I understand that that can look a bit different for each animal. If I'm going to be caring for cats, then I'll be sure to take the time to wiggle a cat wand or wave a laser pointer around. They will also absolutely get an occasional Churu as long as that's an acceptable treat. For dogs, I'm going to make sure I take ample time to play fetch with them, and that they get a nice long walk each day at least once.

“Natalie was amazing! She is very communicative and excellent at taking care of our cat. I felt like I could trust her right away. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve done pet sitting since I was in high school where I watched many neighbors dogs. In this time I’ve found that Rover is a terrible service to get for your dog. Find any other service as it’s better than Rover. Your pup will be well taken care of daily. I will be working primarily on pet sitting and can dedicate a lot of my time to your pup. Happy to send plenty of photos of them enjoying their day and playing with their favorite toys. The main goal I have is to understand your expectations and to exceed them. I know how much I care about my own pet and will extend the same love and care to all your pets.

“Dani was great with Cupid. She came over 2x each day and gave me an update and picture after each visit which let me know how it was going and not feel concerned about being away. Highly recommend her.”

“So great to have Valerie watching over my kitties! Smooth handoff, great communication, and I just knew they were in great hands the whole time! So grateful :)”

About: I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. While I don’t claim to be a professional trainer or have specialized senior pet care certifications, I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, reinforce routines you’ve already established, and make sure your pet receives plenty of exercise, affection, and companionship. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a mom of three, I’m already used to being responsible, organized, and maintaining consistent schedules. I enjoy being active, so dog walks and outdoor play are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply spending time keeping pets company, I’m happy to provide the attention and routine they need. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets, I always follow the owner’s instructions to make sure their pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure they get any medications as directed, if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I keep the home clean and secure, follow any house rules, bring in mail or packages if requested, water plants when needed, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while ensuring their owners know they’re in caring and dependable hands.

About: I have grown up around cats my whole life. I have helped take of them but recently I adopted a 3 month old puppy so I am learning there. My professional experience is limited to dog sitting friends pets! Which I have done 10 or so times in the last 5 years I am working part time but during the school year I will not be working. I am a masters Student at UTD so I am available all week expect for when I am in classes Tuesday and Thursday. For my puppy I have set up the bathroom to be a play room. I have a crate for her where she sleeps at night that. Other than that I take her on walks so when she is ready to go to the dog park I will take her. I will be able to crate anyone’s dogs!

About: Ive head pets my whole life and I am also a mom so I have a lot of patience dealing with teaching and watching over others. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can watch pets at any time. With time and organization I can watch your pets when needed. I prefer for the pets to be in the owners home and I can take care of them. If needed can also provide a safe space in my own home

About: Hi, my name is Chantel (37). I have been pet sitting exclusively through Trusted House Sitters since the beginning of 2025. Unfortunately I cannot share my profile link from that site here with you for you to read and see my reviews but if you reach out to me on here I can send you the link :) I am also a writer and coach with a flexible schedule and I work from home. I do not currently have pets of my own, I just watch other people's full time. I have an 11 year old son who is very tender hearted and loves animals (he sometimes cries if he sees a dead animal on the side of the road), and when he isn't with his dad he likes to tag along with me to take care of and play with pets. On a more personal level I love to read, go for walks in nature, listen to podcasts, Mediterranean cooking (all cooking really), farmers markets, road trips, pilates, gardening, and bringing beauty to my home life. I am not shy (I love learning about people and connecting in more intimate settings) but I am introverted and prefer 1:1 or smaller groups and I avoid big loud crowds. Non smoker, non drinker, non drug user. I have a very flexible schedule and plan to switch over from Trusted House Sitters to Rover more and use this platform as a main source of my work. My work is flexible and has always been easy to work pet care around that. I can care for most pets in your home. I am not boarding at this time. I can also stay overnight or not depending on what your needs and preferences are.

“We cannot say enough amazing things about Claire! My husband and I went out of town for over a week and she came by twice a day to take care of our 4 cats, our dog and my mom's dog. She stayed in constant communication with us the entire time and was quick to reply when we messaged her. She even brought in all the packages on our porch. All our babies seemed very happy and well taken care of when we got home. We will definitely book with Claire again!”

“Rose was fantastic! She was incredibly helpful, communicative, and professional throughout the entire process. We really appreciated how easy she made everything and would definitely recommend her!”

My grooming background helps me recognize body language, notice signs of stress, and adapt to each pet’s needs. I treat every dog as an individual and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved! 🐾💜 I work part-time, so I have availability to care for your pups around my work schedule. I'm available for boarding on weekends and on weekdays after 2 PM. I make sure every pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, and care while they're with me. I'll communicate with you to make sure scheduling works for both of us! 🐾 With 11 years of experience, I prioritize pet safety, follow your care instructions, secure doors and leashes, avoid hazards, and provide updates while you're away. 🐾

“Deonna was a blessing to have sitting both of our cats! She was very thorough following my care instructions and bonded with one of my more shy and timid felines pet 🐈. I loved the daily reviews from the visits and pics as well kept me from any worries. I would definitely have her care for my cat's again!”

About: I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember! I have been working as a veterinary technician for the past five years and love it . In addition to my veterinary experience, I have several years of experience providing pet sitting and house sitting services in my hometown. It was something I truly enjoyed, and now that I have relocated to Austin, I am excited to get back into it and connect with new families and their pets! I am available all day on the weekends to house sit and dog sit , I also am Available after 6 on the week days. Let know what you need and I can make it work. I have two chihuahuas and a pit mix along with a sphynx cat named mushu. I have a fenced yard that they love to play in. When house sitting I always try to play with the pets and give them all the affection while their owners are gone

“Mara was great with our cats from the moment she arrived for the meet and greet. Both cats were friendly with her on day one, which isn’t typical for our cats. One or both of them usually takes a moment to warm up to new people. That put me at ease right away. I appreciated how thorough she was in asking questions to understand our cats’ needs while we were out of town. We were gone for two weeks, and Mara dropped in each day and stayed a few nights. When we came home, our cats were happy and healthy, and our home was well maintained. She even offered to water our plants while we were away, so those were happy and healthy when we returned as well! We’d absolutely book with Mara again. She gave us peace of mind while we were away from home so we could enjoy our time with family and be present.”

“She did such an amazing job taking care of my dog! Not only did she make sure my pup got a great walk, but she also spent plenty of time playing with her and giving her extra attention. Receiving the photo updates was the best part of my day. She’s super reliable, friendly, and truly loves animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I can remember buttt I’ve legitimately only had 2 paying customers this year! But I’ve always taken care of dogs growing up and even have a dog now! I have classes from 11-3 so any other time than that would fit into my schedule perfectly!! I’m not too picky and if I can’t do the job I’m willing to be either flexible or completely honest with you I usually just follow the orders of the parents! I have a dog too so I know how they can be 😂 I take them on walks and play with them as much as I can!

“Sophia always takes photos and takes good care of my cats!”

About: I grew up with pets in my home and love animals of all kinds. I have experience pet setting/house sitting for cats and dogs of all sizes. I enjoy walking dogs because I love being active and outdoors! I have no problem at all cleaning up after your dog if he gets sick, or goes to the bathroom! I'm okay giving medications as needed. I'm great with feeding and giving water. I have experience pet sitting for quiet, calm dogs and rowdy, playful and sometimes very loud dogs. I'm also great with cats and other animals as needed! I will treat your pet and your home with great respect! I am currently not working so I've got all the time in the world to come and pet sit for you! I'm happy to come at whatever time of day works best. I follow the directions that I've been given for pet care exactly as stated. I will provide food and water to your pet and take them outside for walks as needed. I also love to just play with and cuddle animals as the animal is comfortable with me. I am also comfortable changing litter boxes for cats as needed.
