House Sitting Upton

“The girls were great, they cleaned up after themselves, including washing and folding their towels. Our dogs are pretty codependent and so they had to cuddle with them most of the time. It appears they followed the directions for feeding and medication’s. We will definitely use them in the future again.”

Marcy C.

“Came home to happy, relaxed dogs! Thanks for taking such good care of our home and pups!”

“Tess was amazing with my 3 babies. She was very communicative, and provided so many pictures. I would rebook with her without any hesitations. She made leaving my babies for the first time stress free. I highly recommend her.”

“Steven did a great job checking in our pup while we were out of town. He shared updates twice a day and made sure she was well-cared for. We would book with him again.”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and have two dogs of my own, so my house and life are always full of wagging tails and happy paws. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family over the years and love making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I attended vet tech school and worked in a veterinary office, which gave me hands-on experience with animal care and health. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home. Caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life since I have pets of my own. Walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure animals feel comfortable are all built into my routine. Pet sitting fits easily into my schedule, and I genuinely enjoy making time for animals so they get the attention, care, and cuddles they deserve while their owners are away. Whether pets are in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, I try to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel safe and relaxed. That means sticking to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure they get lots of love and attention. I pay attention to their personalities and comfort levels and always make sure they feel cared for and at ease while their owner is away.

“I can't speak highly enough of Christine! She was attentive, communicative, and overall just such an amazing sitter for our pets. She went above and beyond to make our pets feel at home, safe, and loved. We will also reach out to Christine to watch our babies and you should too!”

“Kiara was awesome at communicating with us and sent us photos of our babies every day. We were so worried about putting our pets in a boarding house because one of our pets would have just not been able to handle the change well. Rover.com was a lifesaver and Kiara was amazing with our pets. She even came over before we left on vacation to meet our pets. Overall we are extremely happy with the service we received.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs for family and friends in the Austin area for overnight trips, emergency trips, and day to day care. I follow instructions well and love to spend time with all animals, especially dogs. I take care of my two cats at home daily and occasionally take care of other pets for friends and family. I have a part time job so my schedule is flexible. I check their essentials every day (water, food, etc.) and spend time with them to make sure they’re active and happy. Any other needs I happily take care of with instructions given to suit the needs of your pet and home!

About: I’ve been the go-to family/friend pet sitter my entire life, so I am constantly around animals and committing to taking care of them. I also worked at a pet store, where I learned a lot about pet care, food and products. I’m pretty comfortable around all dogs & cats and I’m always willing to learn and adapt to their individual personalities. When you trust me to play, walk, or take care of your dog, I want you to know that they will receive the dedication and love that my own fur balls get (lots of it!). My partner and I have 2 dogs and 3 cats that I love dearly. My boy dog has some neurological issues which makes his care a bit more complicated but it has given me experience for dogs with additional needs! My availability is currently wide open so I am available for drop ins, dog walking, or house sittings whenever needed! I’m also incredibly flexible and can accept last minute bookings as long as I am given some travel time! When in your home, I would love to take your babies for walks or field trips to the dog park, anything you would already do with them to make them comfortable. I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and stay comfortable in their routine. I also keep their space clean and watch for any changes in their behavior or needs in order to let their owner know along with following their owners given directions.

“Gayle was great! Stayed with my senior dog for several days. Sent regular updates and left my apartment cleaner than it was when I left! She will be a great sitter for your baby!”

About: Being a bilingual pet sitter allows me to connect easily with both pets and their owners. I have a natural ability to bond with animals, making them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. Each pet is unique, and I adapt to their needs—whether they crave playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. I carefully observe their behavior, ensuring they feel at ease. Beyond feeding and cleaning, I focus on trust and security. The best moments are when a once-shy pet finally warms up to me. Pet sitting isn’t just a job; it’s about creating meaningful connections with with your pets. 🐾💕 Being a musician gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for pets. My schedule allows me to be available when pet owners need me most, whether it’s for daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute care. This flexibility means I can adapt to each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday walk, spending quality time with a shy cat, or simply being there for feeding and playtime, I love being able to offer reliable care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life, and I cherish every moment of it. As someone with a flexible schedule, I provide pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes. Since I currently don’t have a pet, I can welcome pets into my home, where they have space to feel comfortable and enjoy my yard. This setup allows me to give them dedicated attention in a calm environment. At the same time, I understand that some pets feel safest in their familiar surroundings. My flexibility allows me to meet them in their own home, keeping their routine intact and ensuring they feel at ease. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize their comfort, care, and happiness.

“Rachel was a good companion for our dog Wilson while we were away overnight. She took him on lots of walks and kept him on his daily routine.”

“Remington came in to house-sit my dog on short notice and did an amazing job taking care of her. He went above and cleaned up a bit for us as well. We really appreciate his help, we recommend and will rebook him in the future.”

About: I've always had dogs and cats and have taken care all through their senior years. My last two dogs had gone deaf and blind. I've taken care of pets for friends and family including pets that have medical issues like epilepsy or fractured pelvis. Currently just have 2 cats and a rambunctious Shih-Poo puppy. The cats come in and out of doggy door, but will be enclosed in my room when boarding dogs. Puppy is high energy at the moment but if he becomes a pain/annoying to boarded dogs, I will send puppy to my granddaughter. Currently Retired and pretty much home all the time. I go for walks in the mornings. Dog park in neighborhood. If allowed, can take them for pup cups in car. I have a high fenced medium backyard and medium size doggy door. I will administer medications per instructions. I have had to chase a few dogs when they jumped a fence (not mine, too high) or dug under.

About: I have always loved animals and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets. I am patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions so your pet can stay as close to their normal routine as possible. I pay attention to the little things; feeding schedules, water, walks, playtime, and making sure pets receive plenty of attention and affection. I know every animal has their own personality, boundaries, and routine, and I am happy to adjust my approach to what makes your pet the most comfortable. I am a student with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs. I am available for regular visits, walks, extended stays, and longer assignments, and I can adjust my schedule around your pet’s normal routine. I’m especially flexible for pets who need more frequent check-ins, companionship, or consistent care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, walking, and household instructions and respect the routines and boundaries you have established for your pet. In a client’s home, I am respectful of both your pet and your space, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety precautions are secure. I am also happy to provide updates so you know how your pet is doing.

About: I have several years of experience caring for pets through both personal and hands-on situations. I grew up accompanying my mother while she cleaned homes, where I was responsible for looking after pets during visits, including feeding, walking, cleaning their spaces, and making sure they were calm and comfortable while their owners were away. I also had a cat for 18 years, during which I was involved in her daily care, routines, and longterm wellbeing throughout her life. I care deeply about animals and tend to be very attentive to their needs and comfort. To give a small example, I often check ahead of time if a movie involves animal harm so I can prepare myself emotionally. These experiences have made me patient, observant, and consistent with animals. I’m comfortable following detailed routines and making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and well looked after in their owners’ absence I work as a private violin teacher, typically teaching lessons daily in the afternoons and evenings, usually between about 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM, with some variation depending on the day. My mornings and earlier afternoons are generally flexible, which allows me to schedule pet care, walks, and drop-ins consistently during those hours. I also have availability later at night and overnight depending on the booking, which makes house sitting and extended stays possible. I’m organized with my schedule and make sure to communicate clearly in advance so pet care responsibilities are reliable and consistent I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for each home I enter. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain a calm and structured environment for pets, and ensure their daily routines are kept consistent. I’m attentive to detail, especially during walks and feedings, and always make sure doors, leashes, and gates are secure. I treat each home with care and professionalism, keeping spaces clean and organized. I also provide clear communication and updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

About: As a veterinary technician at an ER clinic, I care for hundreds of dogs and cats each year and have hands-on experience with medication administration, injections, diabetic pets, seizure disorders, special-needs animals, post-operative care, anxious or fearful pets, training staff on protocols, and teaching fellow fosters as well as adopters on animal care and behavior. I am also an accomplished foster who has hosted everything from queen cats nursing kittens to weaned kittens, puppies, dogs, and senior animals. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities and I approach every animal with fear-free handling! Lifelong animal lover and former small business owner, I've spent years working with animals of all kinds through veterinary medicine, 4-H, fostering, and therapeutic horseback riding programs. My flexible schedule allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day, and Blink cameras throughout my home help me monitor pets whenever I'm away briefly. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, enrichment, exercise, and individualized attention. Located near nature trails and a large enclosed outdoor area, I offer a safe, comfortable environment where your furry family members can relax, play, and feel right at home. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to take breaks as needed throughout my work days. I do not work on weekends, so I am always at home to attend to the critters! I am also available holidays. With experience caring for orphaned animals daily, including those requiring medications and specialized care, I prioritize your pet's health, safety, and happiness. My flexible schedule, attentive monitoring, and pet-friendly space with enrichment activities, cozy resting areas, and nearby outdoor access ensure your beloved companion receives compassionate, professional care while you're away. 🐾

About: I grew up with a cat, so I understand feline independence, quirks, and how to earn trust — even with the shy ones. Over the years, I’ve also lived with roommates who had dogs, so I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, and just being a steady, calm presence for a dog who’s used to company. Beyond my own home, I’ve pet sat for friends and family for years — everything from quick daily check-ins to longer stays while people were traveling. I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and communicate with owners so they feel at ease the whole time. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a quiet companion, or just someone reliable to make sure they’re fed and loved, I’m happy to step in. Since I work fully remote, I’m home basically all day, so your pet gets plenty of company rather than long stretches alone. We will go for walks or dog park time throughout the day. My apartment doesn’t have direct yard access, but the complex has several dog parks nearby for outdoor time and socializing. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s usual feeding routine, and I send photo updates so you can see how they’re doing throughout the stay.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Stephanie! She took such wonderful care of our two pups while we were away, sending frequent updates and the sweetest pictures that gave us total peace of mind. It was so comforting to know they were not only well cared for but truly loved while we were gone. On top of that, we came home to a spotless house. Stephanie went above and beyond in every way. We’re so grateful for her thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and genuine care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and all-around amazing sitter!”
