House Sitting in University Hills, Austin

“Linda was absolutely amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and we were nervous to be out of state for several days. Linda put all of our worries to rest and did a wonderful job taking care of our babies. She provided great updates on how all of our pets were doing and sent wonderful photos every day. We can’t thank you enough Linda!”

“Arantxa gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town. She goes above and beyond with updates, special care to keep their routine, and gives them so much love and attention. She genuinely treats your pets like they are her own. She is the BEST! 😊”

“Erica is absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond in caring for my dog, not only following all of my directions to the letter but also giving him extra love and attention. She took him on special outings, including a fun trip to the River Yard Bar, and made sure I got plenty of photos along the way. Her communication was excellent with consistent updates, quick responses, and genuine care that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I can’t recommend Erica enough for anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter!”

About: We are Sunny and Wendy, and we are a couple that provide service together. In our free time, we like to climb indoors and outdoors. We are more than happy to take the pups out when they stay with us (only if allowed by owners). About Sunny 👨‍⚕️: I am an animal care professional with 15 years of pet care experience. I can provide special services including medication administration. I love playing with dogs and giving them walks when you board or book house sit with me, and I’ll make sure your pets are happy throughout the time with me. Please do note that I have a cat in the house if you would like to book a day care or boarding. About Wendy 👩‍💻: I am a UX designer in tech, and I work from home. I will be the main person that spends time with your pup or pups if you book a home sit service with us. I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your preferred start/ end time.

With advanced notice we can accommodate our schedule to fit your needs. We have a two-story house with a high-fenced yard. Pets are allowed in the public area, patio and yard. There is also a fenced dog park in my neighborhood.

About: With a strong sense for dog body language and behavior, I naturally bond with dogs and know how to keep them engaged, playful, and calm. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a senior companion, I tailor their care to suit their needs and give them a fulfilling, well-balanced day. My schedule allows me to maintain consistent routines for feeding, training, sleep, and potty breaks. I offer a variety of experiences from city parks to nature hikes, giving dogs exposure to a diverse range of settings. I also provide basic training support including crate, leash/off-leash, recall, sport-based games like fetch and frisbee, and even task-based and obedience exercises—skills I’ve developed through 10+ years of experience with dogs from puppyhood to senior stages. As a graduate student currently on summer break, my schedule is wide open—and I’ve intentionally structured my time to prioritize pet care. I’m available for care throughout the day, whether that means early-morning walks, mid-day play sessions, or overnight sitting. My flexibility allows me to tailor routines around your dog’s unique needs, whether they’re energetic and need lots of stimulation or prefer a slower, calmer pace. I spend much of my time outdoors, and I love incorporating dogs into that lifestyle—hiking scenic trails, visiting off-leash parks, or just taking long neighborhood walks. I believe dogs thrive when they experience new encounters, and I work those moments of enrichment into every week. I live in a spacious, first-floor apartment with direct access to a secure patio and a neighborhood dog park—just steps outside my door. This makes potty breaks, quick outdoor play/walks, and socialization seamless and stress-free. Every day, our neighborhood hosts friendly dog meetups with well-behaved pups, offering perfect opportunities for your dog to engage with others in a safe environment. Inside my home, dogs will find a clean, calm, and organized space with plenty of enrichment. I have a variety of toys, training tools, puzzles, and games to ensure your dog stays mentally and physically stimulated—the goal is for no boredom and anxiety. I also keep a full range of grooming and cleaning supplies on hand, so whether your dog needs a simple wipe-down or a post-adventure bath, I’ve got it covered. I am well-versed in training methods and behavior management, so if your pup has specific routines or commands, I likely already have the knowledge and equipment to maintain their structure. I’m happy to reinforce crate training, leash manners, or any custom instructions you provide to ensure consistency while you’re away. I also have a well-socialized golden retriever mix who’s incredibly calm, friendly, and trained to model great behavior for other dogs. If your dog enjoys companionship, mine makes an excellent playmate. If needed, I can crate or separate the dogs for one-on-one attention or downtime—your dog’s comfort and safety always come first.

“Karli is incredible!! She’s dog sat for my pups several times, and has been great every time, but she deserves special recognition for extending her stay during the winter storm while I was unable to fly back. Not only was she great with the pups, but she took care of my home during the freeze like it was her own. She was a life saver!! Highly recommend.”

“Yecenia was awesome with our dog! Super caring, always on time, and super easy to work with. Made the whole experience stress-free for us. Would definitely have her pet sit again!”

Anh N.

“Lily is an amazing dog sitter!! She is very communicative and is proactive in asking questions or clarifying details about any needs that arise. When I get home, the pups are completely content—making it clear that they feel comfortable and happy with her taking care of them. Will definitely continue to reach out to Lily for future needs!”

About: I pet sit because I want to, not because I need to💜. It’s a passion of mine to be around your pets. As the the oldest of 5 much younger siblings and a former professional nanny, I am a natural caregiver! Now, I am an independent hairstylist that works for myself, and as an animal lover, I have naturally become many of my clients trusted go-to pet sitter, especially for in house vacation pet sitting. I am highly trained as a former animal foster (including the bottle babies that require so much attention and responsibility) and as a professional care giver. I also grew up with non-traditional critters including, but not limited to, hedgehogs, salamanders, iguanas, guinea pigs, gerbils, etc. so I’m cool with whatever you throw at me! LGBTQ+ friendly!! I work for myself part time as a hairstylist. I make my own hours so it is very easy to not schedule on the days I am needed or to schedule large breaks in between. As a former nanny and elder millennial (lol) I am very responsible first! I always double check leashes, harnesses, doors, etc so you can leave your home feeling great with your guys in my hands. At my clients home, I very much like to follow their rules and instructions to the detail. I keep a photo and/or list of all instructions on my phone and a physical copy in my car. At my own home, I like to listen to what my clients feel comfortable with and follow that as discussed with them. I do like their pets to feel like I’m their loving grandma- they always get extra love and long walks when I come to see them!

“Second time with Jessica- she helped us in a bing d last minute and was wonderful!!! One dog takes meds for Cushing’s now and she was great with it. Thank you for caring for my babies!!”

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Marissa watch our two pups, Edgar and Jasper for 5 days in our home and we couldn't be happier with the experience. She was amazing from start to finish: dependable, professional, and clearly someone who loves what she does. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such capable hands. She kept us updated, sent pics, followed our instructions and also walked the babies. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring petsitter.”

“Kathryn was amazing with my dog and sent many check in photos throughout my trip. When my flight was delayed she stayed longer and helped out with my pup. She is the best and very professional!”

“We’re so happy with Alice’s care of our dogs. One of our pups is really scared of fireworks. Alice was here over New Year’s Eve which meant she had a very needy, scared dog on her hands but comforted him & tried to muffle noise from outside so he could rest. Thank you!”

Jana D.

“We really appreciate the care Ranaan put into the sitting. There were lots of unexpected things that arose, and he handled it very responsibly, and made sure we were updated, and our pets were taken care of. Would hire again :)”
