Pet Boarding in The Hills

“Nikki and her family are great with our dogs! They always come home happy and tired from playing with Chief and the kids. One of our pups also has grass allergies and we really appreciate how attentive Nikki is, applying his paw ointment as needed and administering his medication according to schedule. Thank you Nikki for treating our pups like part of the family!”

“Captain has stayed with Brandon multiple times now. He is well loved by him and his family. Captain has ample time to play and run around in his large backyard. Would recommend.”

About: Hi, I’m Alena — a mom of four wonderful children, a travel enthusiast, and a lifelong animal lover. I grew up surrounded by pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs, and spent much of my childhood wishing I could be Dr. Dolittle. For more than a decade, I shared my home with three cats, and over the years I’ve gained extensive experience caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. I previously fostered dogs through Austin Pets Alive and have spent many vacations caring for pets through TrustedHousesitters. I’m comfortable administering prescription medications to both cats and dogs, as well as handling basic grooming needs. Today, I share my home with two cats and two dogs. For the comfort and safety of all pets, my dogs live separately from any boarding guests. Boarding dogs stay on the upper floor and do not interact with my pets. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets, get to know their unique personalities, and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible work schedule, so I’m available to board your pet any day of the week. I would love to take your dogs for a walk, too! For boarding, I provide a safe space and a pet bed in my bedroom, separately from my own pets. Dogs have free reign in the fenced backyard and enjoy walks around the neighborhood twice a day, ranging from 10 min to 2 hours, depending on their needs.

“Estefania took amazing care of my dog, Sam, over the July 4th weekend. Fireworks usually make him a bit anxious, but she kept him calm and comfortable the entire time. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed – it was clear he had a great time. The regular updates and photos she sent really put our minds at ease. I highly recommend her!”

“Maura and Shawn did an amazing job watching Barney! They took him on multiple walks, played with him a lot, and provided frequent updates to us on how he was doing. He really enjoyed his time there and we would definitely love to use them again!”

“Alexandra is amazing and incredibly professional. She and her family treated our dog, April, like one of their own, playing, walking, and spending quality time with her every day in their fenced backyard and around the neighborhood alongside their own dog. The environment was wonderful! We loved receiving daily updates and beautiful photos. Highly recommend!”

Vidisha C.

“We can't thank Lance, Meredith and their family for taking such good care of our Daeny and Bodhi during our vacation. They made them feel part of their family while we were gone and that means so much to us. It's so nice to have people you can trust to care for our fur-babies while we're away. They not only sent great updates and pictures but also helped with some good behaviors like taking treats nicely! And even their dogs helped keep ours comfortable and having fun! Would highly recommend them!”

“Nahid & his dog Vincent were the most amazing pet sitters. They had my two small dogs for about 12 days. He sent us tons of videos so we could see how well our dogs were doing. He’s super communicative and very kind. A real animal lover my dogs were happy and well cared for there’s nothing more you could ask for in a pet sitter”

Wendy C.

“Sumin and Steve were incredibly kindhearted and warm caretakers! They made Charlie feel at home with their cozy blankets and great backyard during his stay. I loved all the great updates and pictures. I highly recommend this duo! 🤩”
