“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Sarah! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands. Sarah was so welcoming, and her setup was perfect—my dog felt right at home and barely noticed I was gone! It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares about your pet’s comfort and happiness. Highly recommend Sarah on for anyone looking for peace of mind while they’re away.”
“Lilia was great with my dog while I went on vacation! Attentive and communicative and sent updates with pics! Would highly recommend and will be using her again!”
“My completely antisocial dog, who can be very nervous around new people and has some pretty severe abandonment issues, had such a wonderful time that he RAN up to Rose to say goodbye and get some scratches. There are not enough stars to give her!”
“Christine & Colin were excellent dog sitters. Our two labs loved their time with them and made themselves right at home. I received photo updates and knew our babies were in great hands. Will definitely use them again next time we visit Austin!”
“Frankie always comes home so happy when he stays with Cassandra & Jason! They take such great care of him and always a lot of updates and photos. You can really tell they care for him. Will definitely be booking with them in the future.”
“Amazing experience! She took great care of my dog, sent lots of pictures and updates, and even groomed her. When my flight got canceled she was super accommodating and added another night. Would absolutely book again!”
“Joel was great! He took such good care of Joey. It was my first time leaving him in the care of someone else as I was traveling overseas and his consistent updates and photos kept me at ease and I saw that my cat was really happy and thriving and having such a great time. I would certainly book him again and I highly recommend him. He’s so caring, attentive, detail oriented, and I would love to board Joey with him again!”

I felt very fortunate to have had such an awesome sitter for my dog and peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely recommend Marissa for a short or long term stay!”
“Patches was the absolute best watching our Gomi for 2 weeks! She was gracious to allow Gomi to stay a little earlier after I realized there was a timing mistake. She kept us updated regularly and had no problem taking care of our very anxious boy. Gomi also isn’t usually the type to hang around other dogs so I was pleasantly surprised to see he was doing just fine with the other dogs boarded or in residence ! Definitely will be taking Gomi back to patches again!!”

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!

Can easily crate your dog too if needed

About: I've had dogs of all sizes my whole life. We cared for a senior dog who lived to 17, and now have a 9 year old dachshund and 4 yr old small dog mix. I am a full-time at-home dog mom, with lots of time to walk and play with pups. There is a park a block or two away from our home that we walk our pup to just about every day (when it's not too hot for him). I am a nurse and have a lot of experience caring for people, but animals are a special treat to care for. I am home full-time, with only occasional trips out. I do some part-time remote consulting, but have plenty of time throughout the day to play with and care for pets. My husband works from home full-time and loves interacting with animals too. We have no children. We have a fenced backyard and a 15lb dachshund who likes to play, but can also be kept upstairs with my husband if your dog prefers to be an only dog. Our dog is crate-trained, so we can care for crate-trained dogs and those who are not. We also would take your dog for walks if they like them.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special care instructions. I treat every dog like family and provide regular photo updates so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine as I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home. I can provide regular attention, feeding, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. At my home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment, providing attentive supervision, consistent care, and respectful handling to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure
“I am writing this after the first week of daycare for my young lab and could not be more pleased with the care and attention she is receiving. Lola has “endless energy” and came home exhausted every day! Ashley has provided great communication throughout and I would recommend highly.”
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!
“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.”
“Alison is a great doggy sitter! My dog Olipop absolutely adores her. She communicates well, and it’s very apparent she loves dogs. Love the photo updates she sends! :)”
“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.”
About: I just miss having a little furry friend so l'd treat yours like my own, plenty of love and attention for your pup ! I love dogs & animals in general. I keep plenty of toys & treats. -If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to meeting you and your furbaby soon! My schedule is flexible, so I'm happy to adjust to your dog's needs, whether that means extra potty breaks, meal times, or just some cozy cuddles 😊 Cozy environment & I provide a safe and loving environment for your pups. I will make sure your dog gets plentyyyy of attention, mental stimulation, and frequent walks to burn off all the energy. My flexible schedule means I'm always here to keep your sweet pup company and take care of their needs throughout the day.
“Morgan was extremely responsive and quick to jump on zoom so we could do a virtual meet and greet. She was waiting for us when we arrived and at pick up, and very responsive during the day. My dog was fed, happy and tired when we picked him up. So pleased to find someone we trust in the city.”
“Ian - Deacon told us he very much enjoyed coming by and playing with Misty and the gang. He said they all made him feel right at home. He's bugging us already to get back over. Thank you Ian...he's a special little guy and you and your crew gave him a very special day.”
“We’re so grateful for Rachele, who took a last minute request to watch our mini Aussie for 3 days. Piper always came home happy and tired, from a fun day of walks and play. I got lots of updates and cute photos. We’ll definitely be rebooking. Thank you, Rachele 🥰”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I grew up in a home full of pets—my family has three Boston Terriers, and my dad is a veterinarian who often brought animals home for us to care for. Because of that, I’ve been around dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments for as long as I can remember. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also fostered dogs through Austin Pets Alive!, which gave me experience helping dogs adjust to new environments and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to take your dog out for walks, potty breaks, and playtime whenever they need it. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll be around during the day to make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I live alone in a comfortable apartment where your pet will have a calm and safe environment to relax in. Because it’s just me, I’m able to give pets my full attention and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: It is safe to say that I grew up with pets as a replacement for siblings. My mother has a love for animals that is over the moon - which made my household and childhood pretty close to living in a zoo! I spent years growing up taking care of all my pets, on top of caring for the number of foster animals that circulated in and out of our house. Over the years my mom and I accumulated a number of bonds with both cats and dogs that may not have had a chance at finding a new home if my mom hadn't come around. Overall, my love for animals is enough to make this kind of work both easy and extremely enjoyable for me! I am currently a full time remote worker so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am more than happy to travel to your home and work the hours that are most convenient for you! I have a lot of training in keeping an eye on animals / doors etcetera to ensure they are safe. Back home, my mother has 7 indoor/outdoor cats, on top of our pups, that we have to keep an eye on at all times! :)

About: Hi I’m Kelsey! I’d love to help you with your pet(s)! I’ve been pet sitting for years and have client testimonials I’d be happy to provide you with. Your pet will be in good hands! I will go above and beyond to truly spend time entertaining your pet and brightening their day while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including reactive dogs. I absolutely love spending time with animals and will truly treat your pet like my own. Speaking of my own, I have a boxer who is the absolute light of my life. I love him so much and spoil him rotten. I’ll treat your pet the same! Something you should know about me…When I walk into a house or business with a pet present that’s the first thing I’m paying attention to regardless of why I’m there. I work from home and love going on walks every day. I’d love to take your dog(s) with me on my next walk! Or if you need someone to stop by mid-day because you’re stuck in the office and just want someone to spend some time with your pet I can do that too. I’ll bring my computer with me! Did you think I forgot about cats? Never! I’d love to check in on your cat for you while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to visit your pet soon! I work remotely full time. I’m available most of the day for drop in visits and walks! I can come over in the morning for early morning walks before it gets too hot. I can come over mid-day for a lunch break walk or drop in visit. I can come in the evenings if you have somewhere to be after work and need peace of mind that your pet will be well taken care of. I will take extra care of your pets in your home. I’ll ensure they have everything they need and extra attention while you’re away. I love a good couch cuddle moment with your pet, walks of any distance or length, and am happy to interact with them using whatever toys or things they may have to use or play with. 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: Hi, I'm Steph! I've had dogs and animals since I was born. Growing up, my family usually had 5 dogs at a time (so much fun!!) and I worked at our local animal shelter during high school and college. Right now, I have a sweet 10 year old lab named Nala and she is my light. She is extremely friendly and anyone who meets her loves her! She still has great energy for being 10 years young, and appreciates hangs with other pup friends. I have used Rover myself when making sure Nala is in a great home when friends cannot care for her - I really love it! I work remotely permanently so I am home all the time! I start my days with morning walks so your pup would be more than invited to join me :) I am also up very early every morning so I am happy to have your pup join me for my morning coffee. I have a fenced yard for my Nala girl or your pups to hang out in but also a cozy home that I love having them in! I have plenty of room to crate too, if that is your preference when I step out or for bedtime. Happy to make your pet at home!!
“Katrina was wonderful! She responded quickly and was so kind during our meet-and-greet. Bucky felt immediately comfortable with her and even went right up to her for pets. She asked great questions, paid attention to every detail, and followed all instructions perfectly. Highly recommend!”
“Very communicative and responsible with our young and vivacious puppy. Christian worked her flawlessly on walks, reinforcing some training we’ve been doing while adapting to any particular needs she had that day. I would highly recommend!”
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!
About: I’ve been walking dogs and Pet Sitting in Austin for the past year and I’ve gained a great amount of experience with a wide range of pets and their care takers. I love making new furry friends! I am a first grade teacher during the school year but I walk and pet sit during my breaks and weekends. I’m on summer break currently and have ample amounts of free time. I care for pets in my home and others home as if they were my own pets. I give them the utmost care, attention, kindness and love as I would if they were my fur baby and a friend.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with two dogs and currently have a pup of my own. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, getting plenty of exercise, providing extra cuddles, or simply offering a calm place to relax, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’ve had experience dog sitting for friends and family and always enjoy having an extra furry friend around the house. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away, so I’m committed to providing reliable care and regular updates while your dog is with me. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work a flexible schedule and am able to work from home on Fridays. Because of that flexibility, I can often adjust my schedule to meet a dog’s needs and provide extra supervision when necessary. I’m available for boarding most weekends and can typically accommodate stays from Thursday through Monday. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. Providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment is my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a friendly dog of my own, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get their energy out. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home and follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions.
About: I had an older dog for four years that I love to take care of. I am flexible with the activity levels of your pets. I work remotely.

I have reliable transportation to get me to and from client’s home.
“John came through last minute when I came down with a bad cold, he was so kind to myself and Juno & took her on a nice long walk twice, the same day. I definitely recommend John!”
About: I grew up with 2 Labs and currently have my own Lab mix named Kona! I worked at my local vet for a summer as a kennel technician where I got to experience, care for, and play with all types of dogs! I currently work from home 9-5 and have a very flexible schedule when it comes to taking breaks throughout the day so I shouldn’t have any problems accommodating different times. I kennel trained my dog so I am adept to the need for that. I always have my dog on a leash when going outside. I will always ensure that safety comes first and that I follow the personal preference/guidelines of what you like for your dog.
About: I can administer medicine, liquid and pills. I work from home, so definitely able to give your pet the attention and care it needs and wants! It’s pretty much all integrated within my own routine.

About: I have 3 years of hands-on pet care experience with a diverse range of animals, specializing in dog and cat care, with additional expertise caring for chickens, lizards, bunnies, and other pets. My clients appreciate my flexibility, attention to detail, and ability to handle both young puppies and senior pets with equal care and patience. I'm currently pursuing my dog behavioral training certification through GoodPup, giving me deeper insight into pet behavior and communication. I also bring an EVERLIT Pet First Aid Kit with me to every booking and walk—your pet's safety is my priority. What sets me apart is my commitment to exclusive, focused care. I don't have my own pets and I never double-book: your pet gets my complete, undivided attention. I work from home with flexible hours, which means I'm available throughout the day for their needs: morning and afternoon visits in a single day, weekend availability, or multi-week house sitting. This flexibility is especially valuable for puppies, seniors, and high-energy dogs that need consistent attention. My clients appreciate knowing their pet is receiving dedicated care in a calm, stress-free environment where I prioritize safety, respect your home, communicate transparently, and tailor care to each pet's unique personality. I work from home with very flexible hours, which allows me to easily accommodate your pet's needs: House Sitting: Full-time presence in your home with availability throughout the day and overnight. I'm particularly great for puppies and senior dogs that need consistent attention. No extra cost for pets requiring constant care. Regular Visits: I'm flexible around your schedule and can easily manage both morning and afternoon visits in a single day. I'm always available on weekends and can adjust timing based on your needs. Flexibility: I'm comfortable with extended multi-week bookings. My work-from-home setup means your pet never feels alone. I'm genuinely present throughout the day, working in your common areas while providing company and regular updates. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the pets I care for. I ensure they're comfortable, follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and engage in playtime tailored to their needs. I keep the environment clean, respect clients' homes, and communicate regularly to maintain trust and transparency. If it's my first time caring for your pet, I provide an optional care guide for you to fill out with questions about your pet like walking routes, food schedule, favorite toys, and more. For house sits specifically, this includes questions like where cleaning supplies are located and house care preferences like watering plants and getting mail.
About: I have been watching, walking, and working with cats & dogs for over 9 years of my life. - I have a little yorkie at home (I currently don’t live with any pets at my apartment) - I’ve fostered a precious kitten - I’ve been pet-sitting many of my family friends pets for as long as I can remember I am detailed-oriented, attentive, & communicative with all pet-owners. I absolutely love all animals, so please don’t be afraid to reach out! I’m currently on summer break, so I’m not busy with school! (YAY) I have a bunch of time to take pets on walks, watch pets overnight, and check in at (pretty much) any time of day! I currently live at an apartment (smoke free & pet free) by myself. My apartment has a lot of open space, a dog park, and lots of sidewalks and trails to walk on! I am also comfortable with watching pets at their own home.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past ten years, I’ve cared for other peoples pets in addition to my own. I have experience from working multiple boarding places. I’ve learned the behaviors of dogs, walk, how to properly give them medication, and shots. I’m currently working on getting my degree in pre-vet, my courses are online. I’m able to watch your fur babies anytime during the week or weekends. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own to keep your fur babies company. My dogs are very social and love new friends. If requested I can crate your pets if needed.
About: Hey there. I would love to care for your little friend! I currently have a little one of my own—my rescue dog Winston. Winston is a mini pinscher/chihuahua mix, so he’s 8 lbs. He lovesss dogs (much more than people). I have lots of experience with anxious pets, including administering medications orally and generally being very cautious and gentle with a nervous, sometimes fearful dog, which Winston was when I first rescued him in 2020. I also take Winston to a licensed vet behaviorist in (twice yearly check-ups), so I’ve been trained (not professionally, but as his mom) in proper care for anxious pets as well as counter-conditioning techniques. I’d be the perfect sitter or dog walker for your pup, whether they’re nervous and shy or outgoing and playful! I currently live in a large ground-floor apartment, which has a personal yard/terrace that is fenced in due to being on the ground floor. No other pets have access besides Winston. The apartment also has dedicated fenced in dog park. Whether your dog likes to be around a lot of dogs or simply likes to be alone, I can accommodate either. Also, given that my dog was anxious when I got him, I’m very experienced in proper introduction of dogs to each other. I’m very cautious and type-A (lawyer here), so I would be very careful with your dog as if he or she were my own. FYI—Winston is neutered. I can also administer eye drops or ointment. Can’t wait to meet your pup! My prices are cheaper at the moment as I’m just getting started with Rover! I work from home half the week and go in half the week, but im only in 10-4 on in-office days and only have a few meetings, so I’d be able to stop by or come home in between. I’m available to board your dog as well. I’m only in office from 10-4 three days per week, and which three days are typically flexible, so if I’m sitting I could likely stay home that day and go in another day! My apartment has a private yard and a shared dog parks. For walks I would not bring Winston along unless I’m boarding and you’re okay with it to make sure your dog gets my undivided attention. Regular drop ins and walks where I come to you, Winston would stay at our home.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with two dogs and currently have a pup of my own. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can feel right at home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, getting plenty of exercise, providing extra cuddles, or simply offering a calm place to relax, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’ve had experience dog sitting for friends and family and always enjoy having an extra furry friend around the house. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away, so I’m committed to providing reliable care and regular updates while your dog is with me. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work a flexible schedule and am able to work from home on Fridays. Because of that flexibility, I can often adjust my schedule to meet a dog’s needs and provide extra supervision when necessary. I’m available for boarding most weekends and can typically accommodate stays from Thursday through Monday. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout their stay. Providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment is my top priority. I grew up with dogs and currently have a friendly dog of my own, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get their energy out. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly home and follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fully fenced backyard for supervised play and exercise. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special care instructions. I treat every dog like family and provide regular photo updates so owners can feel confident and connected while they're away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine as I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home. I can provide regular attention, feeding, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I make sure pets are never left alone for long periods. At my home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment, providing attentive supervision, consistent care, and respectful handling to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure
“Ariel did an absolutely phenomenal job watching my pup while I was away for a week. She provided numerous updates and pictures/videos each day. She did a wonderful job of making my pup feel like home and you could see the relationship they developed while I was away, neat to see! My dog returned home extremely happy, calm, and having made a new friend. Can’t recommend Ariel enough. 10/10 will book again!”
“Derik went above and beyond looking after Polly! She went on a ton of walks, made a lot of friends, and overall had a great time. I would definitely use him again/recommend him to a friend.”
