About: I've taken care of friend's and family's dogs for years! Natural dog lover at heart but unfortunately haven't been able to adopt a fur-friend of my own. Experience with shy timid dogs that need a calm friendly companion to look after them! I currently WFH so have lots of time to spend with you pups! Available for day care and boarding week days and or weekends depending on need Live without any other pets so your pup will have a calm relaxing environment to stay and roam in (plus all the undivided attention!). Can easily crate your dog too if needed
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have cared for over five dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages with my family. From playful puppies to sweet senior dogs, I understand how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs and personality. I love spending time playing, walking, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. Whether it’s belly rubs, outdoor play, or quiet company, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and happy! Besides dogs, I love all animals! I have had bunnies and birds before and know how to take care of them! I work remotely full-time, which which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout their stay. My daily routine is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, cuddle time, medication routines, and regular check-ins. I like to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. Whether they need active play, quiet company, extra patience, or a calm space to relax, I do my best to adjust my day around their comfort and needs! I live in a spacious apartment that offers plenty of room for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and well supervised! I got my two friendly American Shorthair cats at home, so I’m very mindful about introductions, boundaries, and each pet’s comfort level. I always take time to understand how each pet does around other animals! If a pet needs their own space, quiet time, or a slower introduction, I make sure they have a calm area where they can relax. I keep the environment clean, organized, and peaceful so every pet feels cared for during their stay!
“Olof comes back nice and tired after a day with Priscilla. He can be a pretty lazy dog sometimes, but when he’s outside he’s super active-with my busy schedule I know he appreciates the extra stimulation to help with his anxiety. Hes happy to see her and drop off/pick up is always easy.”
“Eva has been above and beyond incredible with my 1yo golden! We rescued her 5 months ago, and she has serious separation anxiety, but she clicked with Eva right away. We had a last minute need for day care and I was apprehensive of finding someone that loves my girl like their own— with Eva you can trust that your fur babies will be given five star care.”
“Stephanie, Todd, and Milo were great and took great care of Woods! They sent me pictures throughout the day and he came home so tired. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Chris and Callan were absolutely wonderful. They helped me at the last minute with daycare and were friendly, flexible, and responsible. My dog, Sevi, seemed to feel immediately at home in their house, even venturing up the stairs on her own to explore minutes after I dropped her. She came back at the end of the day happily tired and calm.”
“Caitlin was amazing! She was very communicative and kept me updated the entire time she was watching our pup Lucy! I could tell that Lucy was very well taken care of and got lots of love during her stay. She sent a ton of pictures and was very flexible with our pick up and drop off times. Will definitely be using her again! Thanks Caitlin!”
“Aimee was so sweet with my little Remi and gave the greatest updates while she had her. Remi took to her immediately and looks forward to her longer stay while I’m out of town soon. I will definitely continue to book, she’s perfect for small pups!”

About: I began helping with my family’s dog breeding business when I was just thirteen years old, but my role quickly became so much more than simply raising puppies. I became heavily involved in the medical and care side of the business, which led me to become a licensed Level 2 Veterinary Technician. At fourteen, I started training dogs — something that quickly became one of the most rewarding passions in my life. By fifteen, I began boarding dogs for families needing trusted care for their furry friends. Since then, caring for animals has remained a huge part of who I am. I’ve always been a true animal lover and have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and ducks. No matter the animal, I treat every pet like family, and I can assure you your baby will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me! I live in Austin, Texas, and I’m a student at UT Austin! But, because it’s the summertime, my days are completely free! It is very easy for me to give my full attention to any pet that I am taking care of. I have a little fenced in area by my apartment if necessary, but I also live by plenty of dog parks! I live next to the UT Austin campus so this is also a great area to take the fur babies on walks!
“Kristina took excellent care of both of my dogs, they came home happy and tired from playing! I would definitely trust Kristina with them again. Thank you so much for your care and attention to them.”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have always had my own dog (inside dog, outside dog, sometimes both). I have entered and won obedience and showmanship shows with my dogs. I trained two of my dogs in 4-H for over 5 years. Growing up with pets has allowed me to develop a strong love for all kinds of animals. When caring for others’ animals, I always keep in mind how I would want my own animal to be treated. I am currently working on my teaching certificate which is completely online! This allows me to make my own schedule. I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings! I live in an apartment. I am open to cat/dog sitting depending on the breed. I live in a very walkable area where I can take the animals outside when needed.

I love him so much and spoil him rotten. I’ll treat your pet the same!

Mental stimulation is very important for pets, especially while you’re away to help their minds and bodies relax. I can use puzzle games, slow feeders, lick mats, or any other things you have for your pet to give them mental stimulation. I take great pride in leaving a place better than I found it and I’ll be respectful of you, your pet, and your home while I’m visiting.
About: Since I was a child I have taken care of 2-3 dogs in one home and multiple cats with my family. All different types of dogs, fostering and rescuing animals when we could. Love to maintain healthy and clean animals so that they can live their best lives and feel loved! I am currently a fire fighter and looking for a side job. I am off for few days out of the week and want to be active and be around animals. I am currently taking care of my cats indoor to protect them from this heat. Often getting fresh water and have family dogs that like to go outside but stay cool so I often have little dog pools set up! I am okay with taking them outside or keeping them inside for some safe fun!
“Priscilla was so kind and patient with my new rescue dog! He really took to her and within just a few walks was visibly sad and upset when the walk was finished!”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of different breeds ranging from Great Danes to Yorkies. My family had Rottweilers when I was growing up so I have hands on experience training, owning, and most importantly loving dogs.

I offer personalized care based on the unique needs and interests of your dog. When you leave your dog with me you’ll leave with peace of mind so you can enjoy your vacation as much as your pup will enjoy theirs!
About: I've been caring after my own pets ever since I can remember, and started caring for other families' pets in high school. For three years, I took consistent care of two families' dogs while they were away. I walked, fed, gave medication to, and loved on the dogs I cared after. I am dependable for taking care of dogs and cats and am attentive to their individual needs since I have been surrounded by pet caretaking responsibilities for most of my life - I've now petsat through Rover throughout my college years! I've gained experience with many types of animals, but most notably I have experience outside my home with elderly and large dogs. I'm freshly graduated from college and am waiting on job offers, so I'm looking for something fulfilling to do with my time! Plus I miss my pets from back home. I am most available for drop-ins and short-term house sits (~3 nights). I provide a safe and fun environment for the animals I take care of, making sure that their needs are met and that they're active and happy. I take care to follow specific instructions about feeding, medications, etc.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in high school! From feeding to walking friends, families, and neighbors pets, I have loved taking care of all of my furry friends. Whatever your pet needs, I will provide with joy! As a medical student, I know how important trust is, and I will take care of your pet like my own.

I will follow all directions left for me, and I will treat your home like my own. Trust and integrity are extremely valuable to me.

About: I have had a pug for 11 years. She is awesome. I also have cared and walkrd a large Rhodesian Ridgback for 3 years. She was high energy so we often went on runs.

I have a fenced in yard and leash walk my little tot. We also have a lot of land behind us so I will run outside with the pug often.

“Heather was the first dog walker I've ever hired to walk my dog Molasses. In the beginning I was pretty nervous since I didn't know how Lass would do with someone else walking her and having a new person in my apartment while I was gone. Heather was great because she offered to do a meet and great before out 1st scheduled walk to make Lass and myself feel comfortable. I'm so grateful for this meet up! Lass loves Heather and their walks. Between the super cute photos I get and the love that my dog receives, I couldn't ask for a better walker!”
