“returned to a very happy pup! thankful for a close by safe space for my pup to stay when I have to go on work trips. Will absolutely be back!”
“I’m so grateful to have found Aimee. She brought such love, warmth, care, and safety to my beloved Birdie girl. From the moment I dropped Birdie off I knew she was in excellent hands. Thank you, Aimee!”
“Took good care of my little girl on short notice! I received several photo updates and a video. This was the first time I left my girlie with someone other than family so I was nervous, but she was well taken care of. Plus, she had the enrichment of having other dogs to play with during the stay:)”
“Cassandra and Jason were amazing sitters! We left our dog with them for 5 nights, and he got all the walks, cuddles, and attention he could have wanted. From the photos they sent, we could clearly tell he was having a great time, and we came home to a happy, healthy pup. They also did a couple of drop-in visits for our senior cat at our home. Our cat usually hides from everyone, but she actually came out to get some love from them, which says a lot. Cassandra and Jason made sure she had everything she needed while we were away. We felt totally at ease knowing both of our pets were in such caring hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“I must have done something right in a past life to have found someone as caring, amazing, and intentional as Kate to look after Princess. I got photos and videos everyday of her playing and having a good time, and she came back happy as ever. It was my first time leaving for over 2 weeks, and I was nervous, but all that went away when I saw my pup was in the best hands. I recommend to everyone.”
“Demitri has another amazing stay with Lilia. I have never left my dog with anyone this long and she made me feel so comfortable! I loved getting updates on how he was eating. Sleeping and getting lots of cuddles. Demitri just adores her! Highly recommend Lilia!”
“Alice was so great! she was super communicative and followed all care instructions very closely. She sent so many updates/pics and my pup was literally smiling every single one of them! Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Cheyanne was great! My dog Pabo was instantly comfortable with her and came home happy. She sent photos and was flexible with my pick up time as well. Thank you!”
“Jarlaith is very nice and cared for my dog. Communication prior to the first day could have been better with regards to what was available I.e. crate needs etc. But overall he took good care of my dog.”
“Kate was very responsive and so good with our boy! She was understanding and accommodating with any of his needs & handled him with so much love and care! We could tell he had a great time during his stay & he’s already begging to hangout with porky again!”
“Rose was so wonderful with my baby Cali. She sent us photos of Cali in her backyard, and she also gifted her a toy. It looks like Cali had a fantastic time with Rose and would love to stay with her again!”
“Rui was so kind and understanding with me and with Chia! She sent me pictures of my pup having lots of fun and being really greatly taken care of. If I'm in town again, I will definitely think of booking a stay with Rui again! Definitely recommend!”
“Gave good updates, doesn’t take on too many dogs at one time, and treats dogs like family. Their own dog, Winnie, seems good at showing the newbies the ropes and is so sweet.”
“Jose was great with both of my pets! He sent many pictures and updates during their entire 9 day stay. I am extremely confident that they were maintained and well taken care of while in his care. Highly recommend!!”
“Big thank you to Lynne, who was fortunately able to help me last minute and flexible when I was running late. Roo had a great time staying with her, and I appreciated all the updates she provided. It was just a quick overnight, but I know Roo was well cared for. I would definitely use Lynne again!!”
“Samuel was great with my doberman Atlas, sharing updates and pictures and really making sure Atlas stuck to his similar routine that he has at home to make sure he settles in well. I could also tell that Atlas was really comfortable and relaxed which was great to see!”

“Great job by Rachel. Was patient when she arrived the first day and realized the cat was under the bed and wasn't coming out no matter how much she coaxed.

“Natalie was awesome! Theo loved spending time with her while I was away for the holidays. She made sure to go above and beyond cleaning his food bowl so that he had a fresh dish to eat from while I was away. She also played with him daily and gave him extra snuggles and left a report card during the visit which I really appreciated as a pet parent away from home. We’d love to have Natalie back again to watch Theo in the future!”

“Jen was great with my pup. Xena is a sweet and nervous around other dog; Jen was more than accommodating and took her time introducing her to the other dogs. On her second day she was fully part of the pack and I had a great time at puppy land. I would definitely recommend her services 10/10”

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
“Willow had a great time playing with the other pups and was well taken care of by Erika. I got photo and video updates during her stay. Communication was great and response time was very fast. Erika was flexible for us even when our plans changed and we had to pick up Willow early.”
“I was very happy and satisfied with the service I received from Alonso and his wife Eva. They treated my dog Charlie with compassion and affection and truly cared for him like he was part of their family. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Charlie was in such kind and attentive hands. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you both so much! If I ever need doggie daycare again, I will definitely use your services.”
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!
“Lynne is amazing! Lynne and her puppies welcomed Luna with open paws. She had the best day and loved being able to play in the pool. Lynne provided plenty of updates through the day and was very flexible with dropoff and pickup. Luna slept all night when we got her back. Happy, tired puppy, happy owners, what more could you want?”
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. My job is flexible, so I work from my home or somewhere else. I also am flexible on weekends for pet care. My complex is in a safe area and has an accessible walking trail. I have reliable transportation to get me to and from client’s home.
“David was great for daycare with our dog! He responded promptly, took care to understand our dog's needs and was provided us with photos and updates throughout the day. He also provided us with a framed portrait of our dog at the end of the day, which was an awesome gesture. Would highly recommend David for doggy daycare or boarding!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for the last 25 years of my life. I just love how every pet has its own personality and how you connect on different levels with them. I treat every animal like my own, with patience, play and lots of belly rubs!

About: Hi! I’m Caroline, and I absolutely LOVE animals! I have over 5 years of firsthand experience caring for my own dog, from everyday care and exercise to training, playtime, and all the little things that make each pet feel happy and at home. I’ve always been the person that dogs seem to love, and my friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and all kinds of personalities, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each pet unique. I’m also proud to have 100+ five star reviews from pet parents who have trusted me with their furry family members. Whether your pet needs care for a few hours, a full day, or an extended stay, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’ll make sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles while you’re away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they’re safe, loved, and having a great time. Pets aren’t just pets to me. They’re family. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, as it is currently my full-time commitment. This gives me plenty of time to dedicate to pet-sitting and dog walking every day, with flexible hours depending on your needs. I also offer select dates for in-house boarding, ensuring your pet gets the attention and care they deserve while you’re away! I am ALWAYS! sending pictures over of your baby as well, unless you request otherwise! I ensure pets are safe, happy, and loved, whether in my home or yours. With my own vehicle, I enjoy taking my pets (and yours, if you’d like) for fun outings, like trips to the park or a pup-friendly café for a treat after playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their privacy while dedicating my full attention to providing care, affection, and companionship to their furry friend. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are always my top priorities! I have references, do not mind cameras in the home, and have no qualms with as much instruction as you need to feel secure.

About: I've had pets since I was 17. Dogs are my favorites, cats are adorable, birds are fascinating, and horses and chickens are great. Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Belgian Shepherds, English Bulldogs, Schnauzers, and Miniature Boxers. I have plenty of time available, I have ample space and green areas, and in addition to offering walks in the countryside, I also provide pet care and ensure they are kept clean. In a covered area, there are also green spaces, allowing pets freedom to enjoy nature. Depending on the level of trust established with your pet, it's preferable not to use a leash so they can enjoy the freedom of the open space.
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and truly love having their playful, loving energy in my home. I have a friendly 2-year-old pup, Renni, who has never met a dog she didn’t become best friends with, so every visiting pup has a built-in playmate. I work a hybrid schedule and work from home on Mondays and Fridays, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, walks, and even trips to the dog park right outside my door. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I work from the office during the day, so please keep that in mind if your pet requires constant daytime care. Pets staying with me on those days should be comfortable spending a few hours on their own before I return home to give them plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like they're at their home away from home! My schedule allows me to provide lots of quality time with the pets in my care. In addition to weekends, I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, making the span of Friday to Monday perfect for dogs who enjoy extra companionship, frequent potty breaks, walks, and plenty of playtime. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I work from the office during the day, so pets staying with me should be comfortable spending a few hours on their own before I return home for walks, playtime, and cuddles. No matter the day, I'll do my best to stick to your dog's usual routine so they feel happy, comfortable, and right at home. I have a dog park directly outside my building that I take my dog to several times a day! If dog parks aren’t the right fit, I also have a great neighborhood walking trail to stretch our legs. My dog sleeps in the crate some nights and on her bed in the living room other nights so however your dog is comfortable, I can accommodate!

“Olivia is great she is very polite, professional and attentive with my pet's needs and has great communication skills I can be at work and know my pet is in good hands. I would highly recommend her services!”
About: My lifelong passion for animals began with a stuffed dog named Cinnamon, but it truly came to life during the 17 wonderful years I spent with my Westie, Kirby. Growing up with Kirby taught me the art of senior dog care, from managing slower paces to noticing the subtle shifts in a senior pet's needs. My experience expanded further when we rescued Dewey, a panther-like gray cat. Managing the unique bond between a senior dog and a spirited rescue cat gave me firsthand expertise in multi-pet household dynamics and reading diverse animal personalities. Whether your pet is a high-energy explorer or a soulful senior, I provide the patient, specialized attention they deserve Because I work remotely, pet care isn't just a side job—it’s my daily company! My schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to provide a consistent routine of potty breaks, play, and mid-day snuggles. I’ve recently made my physical health a priority, which means I head out for multiple walks a day. I would love for your pup to be my 'steps-partner!' Since I am home throughout the day, your pet will enjoy constant companionship and the security of never being left alone for long periods When staying in your home, I treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. I pride myself on being a communicative, organized, and tidy guest. I provide regular photo updates and check-ins so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. Safety is my top priority; I am diligent about double-checking gates, following specific feeding instructions to a tee, and maintaining any house rules you’ve already established so your pet feels secure and calm while you're away
“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my furry friend to Chance. From the outset, Chance displayed a remarkable level of dedication and professionalism. What truly set Chance apart was his initiative in arranging a pre-walk meeting with both me and my dog. This allowed for a seamless transition on the scheduled day, as Chance already had a good understanding of my dog's needs and preferences. During the walk, Chance went above and beyond by sending regular photo and video updates. These thoughtful gestures not only reassured me of my dog's well-being but also demonstrated Chance's genuine care and attention to detail. I can confidently say that Chance is an outstanding dog walker who genuinely loves what he does. His commitment to providing top-notch care and keeping both pets and owners happy makes him a true gem in the world of dog walking. I highly recommend Chance to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate caregiver for their furry companions.”
“Natalie did a great job walking my GSD Jansen. I got photos and updates. She was very considerate and good with communication. I will definitely book with her again.”

About: I've never met a dog or cat I can't win over. I meet them at their pace, never pushing unwanted interaction onto them. I have volunteered and fostered for multiple shelters. I have experience administering medicine, grooming, and bathing. Currently working part-time, so I'm relatively free to look after pets. I am also a morning person, and I don't mind getting up early to check in on and walk someone's baby, especially with how hot it is right now. I will follow your guidance on your dog or cat's care in your household to a T. I want to alleviate the stress an animal may feel meeting a new person by sticking to their usual routine.

About: I've had dogs my entire life, 3 decades of experience, including raising golden retriever puppies in our household and litters upon litters of kittens. though I would count the last 12 years since I was in college as heavy experience with dogs (and cats) of all kinds. I have personally had a rottweiler mix for 9 years, and currently have a 4 year old 105lb hound mix and an 3 year old 40lb cattle dog mix, as well as a 1 year old cat. I have helped different partners over the years raise anything from a 4lb chihuahua, a catahoula mix, and a french bulldog. Additionally I have bottle fed and raised several litters of kittens and fostered several cats and dogs over the years before locating them to forever homes. I don't have formal dog training experience but I am confident in my ability to love and care for dogs and cats of all types. I am self-employed and my hours are incredibly flexible as I work from home. I live in East Austin. I am self employed so I have a flexible schedule that I fill my extra time with dog walking and pet sitting when I can. I live with my partner and our 3 dogs so for dog sitting I would prefer to drop into or stay in your home but am happy to do so!
About: By day, I’m a PhD student studying geophysics. The rest of the time? I’m your neighborhood Pet Sitting Scientist. 🧪🐾 I’ve been caring for pets through Rover for over a year and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s individual personality, routine, and quirks. Whether your pup wants long walks and playtime or your pet is happiest curled up on the couch, I tailor my care to what makes them feel most at home. I’m a 5-star sitter with experience caring for a variety of pets, and I’ve been lucky to build relationships with many repeat clients. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you genuinely trust, so I prioritize reliable communication, lots of photo updates, and following your care instructions closely. My goal is simple: all the love, all the care, and all the bells & whistles. 🐾 As a graduate student, my schedule is pretty flexible, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care! I’m able to plan my days around walks, meals, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles. While I do occasionally need to be on campus for classes or research, I have flexibility in when and where I work and can typically adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s normal routine. 🐾 I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment—whether in my home or a client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes and play styles. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, using patience and positive reinforcement. Safety is always top of mind: I double-check leashes and gates, avoid off-leash situations unless in fully enclosed areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or discomfort. I also provide regular updates to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel at home, secure, and loved.
About: I’ve been around and caring for animals most of my life! I’m happy to help with dog walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting in my home.

I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I work from home most of the week, so I’m around and available for your pets! I go into the office once a week on Tuesdays, but otherwise I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. In my home, pets can free roam and make themselves comfortable in my apartment. I’m able to take them out for regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime, and my apartment also has an on-site dog park for some extra exercise! I also have a crate and a cozy bed available. If your pet is crate-trained, I’m happy to crate them while I’m away or at night if that’s part of their normal routine. I’m always happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and care instructions to help them feel safe and at home.
“Heidi walked our dog for 4 days while we were out of town. I absolutely recommend her because she genuinely cares for each furbaby as if they were her own. She asked a lot of questions during her initial meeting with us and even took down her own notes. She was on time for each walk, gave detailed updates and sent a picture for every walk. I can tell she really cares and really made the extra effort to make sure my baby was comfortable and happy while we were away.”
“Alissa was so good with my Abel. She responded very quickly to our walk request and came to meet him ahead of time. I really appreciate her taking the time as Abel can be scared with certain people. She kept me well informed and I was so happy with her care and communication.”
“My dog loooooooves Erica! She is punctual and reliable and I can trust my dog is in great hands when we arent around. In a town where good help is hard to find, we are feeling super lucky!!”
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. My job is flexible, so I work from my home or somewhere else. I also am flexible on weekends for pet care. My complex is in a safe area and has an accessible walking trail. I have reliable transportation to get me to and from client’s home.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies to sweet senior companions. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day and night, weekdays and weekends, to give your pet the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs oral medication, extra patience on leash walks, or just lots of snuggles and playtime, I’ve got it covered. I’m experienced with leash-reactive dogs, senior pets, and those with special routines or requirements. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priority. I’d love to be your pet’s second best friend (you’ll always be number one)! Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’m excited to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility and availability to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. My schedule allows me to easily accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines, as well as any special needs or last-minute requests. On weekends, I’m also home and fully available, so your pet will never be without attention or companionship. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. When pets are in my care, I treat them like part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. I keep their routines as consistent as possible—feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any special care instructions you provide are followed closely. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime in the yard, or quiet time for older pets, I tailor my care to their unique needs and personality. I’m home throughout the day and night, so your pet will never be left alone or without attention.

“returned to a very happy pup! thankful for a close by safe space for my pup to stay when I have to go on work trips. Will absolutely be back!”
“Took good care of my little girl on short notice! I received several photo updates and a video. This was the first time I left my girlie with someone other than family so I was nervous, but she was well taken care of. Plus, she had the enrichment of having other dogs to play with during the stay:)”
“Cassandra and Jason were amazing sitters! We left our dog with them for 5 nights, and he got all the walks, cuddles, and attention he could have wanted. From the photos they sent, we could clearly tell he was having a great time, and we came home to a happy, healthy pup. They also did a couple of drop-in visits for our senior cat at our home. Our cat usually hides from everyone, but she actually came out to get some love from them, which says a lot. Cassandra and Jason made sure she had everything she needed while we were away. We felt totally at ease knowing both of our pets were in such caring hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Alice was so great! she was super communicative and followed all care instructions very closely. She sent so many updates/pics and my pup was literally smiling every single one of them! Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Cheyanne was great! My dog Pabo was instantly comfortable with her and came home happy. She sent photos and was flexible with my pick up time as well. Thank you!”
“Gave good updates, doesn’t take on too many dogs at one time, and treats dogs like family. Their own dog, Winnie, seems good at showing the newbies the ropes and is so sweet.”
“Jose was great with both of my pets! He sent many pictures and updates during their entire 9 day stay. I am extremely confident that they were maintained and well taken care of while in his care. Highly recommend!!”
“Big thank you to Lynne, who was fortunately able to help me last minute and flexible when I was running late. Roo had a great time staying with her, and I appreciated all the updates she provided. It was just a quick overnight, but I know Roo was well cared for. I would definitely use Lynne again!!”
“Samuel was great with my doberman Atlas, sharing updates and pictures and really making sure Atlas stuck to his similar routine that he has at home to make sure he settles in well. I could also tell that Atlas was really comfortable and relaxed which was great to see!”
“Isaiah is fantastic! He was so patient and loving with my high maintenance and anxious rescue dog. He sent us pictures and gave updates on how well he was doing; it’s clear my dog had a lot of fun and was well cared for while we were away!”
“Christopher and Callan (and Archer!) were fantastic. They were very communicative, sent tons of photos, and are true dog lovers. I felt so comfortable booking with them after our meet and greet, and will definitely be reaching out to them again for future sitting needs. Highly recommend!”
“Madeline was a lifesaver when I had another pet sitter fall through last minute. She was conscientious, thoughtful, and such a pro. I got so many great updates and photos throughout the week, and Polly came back so happy and tired from all the fun they’d had together. I’d recommend Madeline 100x over!”
“Hanna totally rocks! From the very start in booking, to picking up my dog, she was wonderful to work with. She is a great communicator and continually sent fun updates to keep me posted. I highly suggest Hanna for a 5-star experience :)”
“Eddie & his wife were absolutely AMAZING! They sent tons of photos & updates, took Brewski for a walk & I know he was well taken care of as if he were their own! My dog had such a blast with Eddie’s family (including their dogs)! HIGHLY recommend & will definitely use again in the future!”
“Tiffany was absolutely amazing with my dog, Marty. She went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, active, and loved while I was away. She played ball with him, kept him entertained with games, cuddled with him, and treated him like he was her own dog. One thing I especially appreciated was how many videos and updates she sent. It gave me so much peace of mind seeing Marty having fun and being so well cared for. He looked genuinely happy and comfortable the entire time. I would absolutely trust Tiffany to watch Marty again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and dependable pet sitter.”
“Having Bourbon board with Giovanna was an absolute delight. They got to meet ahead of time and he took to her immediately. He can be anxious and he takes time getting comfortable with strangers, but within 20 minutes they were already bonding. She was very responsive and communicative throughout this experience. She sent the right amount of updates, so I was able to enjoy my time away without any worries. After 5 days with her, he barely wanted to come back home with me! I would highly recommend Giovanna as a boarder if you are looking for a safe and loving environment for your pups.”
