“Sarah was great to our pup! She shared sweet photos and updates throughout the visit. I learned from Sarah about a different style of leash that is much more comfortable for our pup!”
“Cassandra and Jason were lovely hosts for Benito. I received just the right amount of pictures to see he was happy & updates that were detailed enough to let me know he was well cared for. They were very responsive, professional, and flexible - even willing to go above and beyond when a potential travel delay popped up. I will absolutely use their boarding services again!”
“Aimee was great as always with our little fluffball. She went above and beyond to take care of Coda as well as provide a fun, playful space for him to play with other fur pals who also joined him during the holiday. Coda is definitely missing his fun crew for sure! Until next time!”
“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.”
“Our dog Archie absolutely loved staying with Wilson, Jessica, and their pup Winnie! They kept us updated with so many amazing and adorable photos! Their care of our pup was above and beyond. We will use them again!”
“Our old man Chris was in great hands with Cheyanne. She sent us frequent updates and was quick to notice his goofy quirks. It's clear that she loves dogs and we would definitely leave him with her again. Bonus: Cheyanne has a huge fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for doggos to romp around!”
“Amanda & Phillip were great communicators and sent lots of pics. They picked up & dropped off and were really flexible with plans. Both my boys looked like they were having fun and were in good shape when I got home!”
“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!”
“Jen is absolutely amazing! She consistently takes such great care of our little senior dog. From her updates, photos/videos, walks and patience - we are very lucky to be able to leave him with such a thoughtful and attentive person who truly loves dogs.💖🐾 Thank you, Jen!”
“Alice was amazing! She was very thorough, sent check ins throughout the day, and was very responsive! We had a brief playdate prior to make sure our pup Beaux got along well with her pup Corrah. The next day at drop off, Beaux happily went with Alice giving us a peace of mind that he felt happy and safe with her! Beaux clearly loved his time with Alice and Corrah. We will definitely be working with her again!”
“Erika was great with Thor. We needed a pet sitter for 1 night in Austin and she was great answering my questions, receiving my Pup and sending videos and photos throughout the day. Highly recommended. I would choose her again if I need a sitter in Austin again.”
“Joel took excellent care of our lil guy. He sent frequent updates and made sure Junji was okay around the cats. I was nervous that Junji would be curious about the cats but Joel put me at ease. It was great to see my dog just lounging with his cat on the balcony. Too cute!”
“Eddie was phenomenal with Kai. Kai can be pretty high energy but Eddie was great about finding time to take him out on walks even during a Rainy weekend. Felt super comfortable having Kai stay at their house for the weekend with all the great pupdates. Would definitely book with Eddie again in the future”
“Callan and Chris were so welcoming of our dogs. They were flexible, friendly, and reassuring about our dogs who can be a bit anxious. They sent timely picture updates of our dogs. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend!! Lilia took care of our tiny chihuahua and chi-beagle boy during our month overseas. It was so stress-free to get her proactive daily updates with the cutest pictures of our pups enjoying themselves! It makes me comfortable that Lilia limits the number and size of the dogs, especially with our little guy being only 3 pounds. Lilia even made a little birthday hat for our boy on his birthday! She is a gem, and I am so happy to have found her.”
“Amazing experience!! They were so sweet to us and our baby Jack. They sent multiple updates a day with pictures and were quick to respond when any questions came up! We felt confident that Jack was getting the love and care he needed while we were away. We will absolutely be rebooking for our next trip!!”
“Ashley & Carter was a great host to our little dog (Hope). This was Hope's first experience boarding, so we were worried about how things will turn out, but Ashley and Carter did a great job, warming up and taking care of Hope. She was very accommodating to our request and was on point on the picture updates and texting us how things were. Hope had so much fun, that she seems like she didn't want to leave when we picked her up. We thank you for taking in our little Hope and giving her a great nice relaxed vacation. Consider us your regulars now... Hope is looking forward to see you guys again soon, & she misses you & Carter already..”
“My dogs loved being over at Rose’s place again for the week! They got to spend time with her own pup Sunshine and a couple of other dogs she was watching too. One of my dogs didn’t even want to leave. Rose was even sweet enough to give them both a bath on their last day so they were smelling fresh going home.”
“Ivon is a very sweet and caring sitter. You can be assured that your pet is loved and cared for. She sends regular updates to put you at ease away from your pets as well. My cats were happy and healthy when I picked them up. I don’t know if they wanted to leave.😊”
“Jacob is an amazing Human and a stellar dog sitter. It’s evident from the regular updates with photos, asking lots of questions to make sure he knows your pup’s particular needs. Highly recommend and happy to have found Jacob!”

“Sara surpassed my expectations. I just moved to the Austin area from Miami, and don’t have many people who I could count on to look after my sweet boy, Tarzan. Sara was extremely attentive, punctual, and although I will worry anyway, she not only gave me nothing to worry about but was extremely reassuring. I will definitely be booking again!”
“The biggest thing to take from this review is that Rachel is amazing and I will definitely be rebooking her in the future! This was my first time using Rover, as I usually had a friend who would watch my cat and at the last minute, wasn’t able to. To say the least, I was very anxious about everything. I found Rachel just a few days before I needed to go out of town and I am so glad I did! My cat is a very affectionate, loving boy, which makes it hard leaving him. He LOVED Rachel and you could see it in the photos she sent. She was very detailed with her encounters with him and sent so many pictures. It really eased my mind while being away from him. I truly felt like he was in the best hands. She is such a sweet individual and very easy to communicate with. 10/10, she’s amazing!”
“I was away for two weeks, and she checked on my cats every 3 days while I was gone. Since they have automatic feeders and an automatic litter box, I mainly needed someone attentive to make sure everything was working properly — and she was amazing! She was very caring with my cats, kept me updated, and always sent pictures during her visits, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I could tell she genuinely cared about them. I would definitely choose her again if I need a pet sitter in the future!”
“Mya was great with my cat Jorge! She was considerate and kind and provided lots of updates to show that Jorge was doing well in her care ☺️ I also appreciated how Mya responded super quickly to the initial request and made time for my booking. I would def book again 😊🐈”
“Michael was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process. He responded quickly, asked thoughtful questions, and made everything smooth and straightforward.”
“Nina was a wonderful sitter for my kitty, (also named) Nina! She made time to meet us beforehand and clearly had experience with cats :) she brought over calming energy and sent sweet photos of lap time snuggles. I was grateful for her and would easily recommend and rebook her again! thanks Nina ✨”
“Every check in report from Laura was a treasure! I could tell from each photo and video that my two fur babies felt secure in her expert care. She caught the best silly photos of them (they’re so shy with new friends usually) and gave a thorough report each day which helped ease any worry I had about leaving them. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Sierra was great with my two cats Sandy and Jon Jon! She sent pictures daily and left our apartment clean. I was a little worried because Jon Jon can be scared of new people but he warmed up very quickly. Sierra is great!”
“Rachel took great care of my dog, just like last time. She was patient when he was nervous and I really appreciated how communicative she was about what was going on. Her rover notes were always quite descriptive and it was amazing to see how my dog warmed up to her with every visit!”
“Wonderful care! Cassie and Jason are the best! This is our 2nd time booking with them. Our super senior kitty, Mug, had some extra needs this time: thyroid meds. Cassie and Jason did an amazing job caring for Mug. They're professional and caring and we highly recommend them.”
“Samantha did a great job checking in on our cat while we were away, she was always on time, communicated very well and helped go above and beyond during bad storms in Austin.”
“Olivia is prompt in their responses and gives valuable info in their visit reports. i've got a neurotic lil weirdo dog who seems to really like them. I trust Olivia and feel comfortable leaving my dog in their care”
“Michelle did a wonderful job caring for our two cats while we were out of town. She was quick to set up an in-person meet and greet. She was reliable and sent us updates and photos, and helped check in on the house. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Sydney watched Miso while we went away for a 6 day vacation. She took very good care of him and gave us great updates while we were away. She gave us a lot of peace of mind while Miso was alone. She is great at trying to get him to interact (he’s a little shy) and she went above and beyond and cleaned up a mess when Miso knocked his feeder over.”
“Caitlyn saved the day! We wanted someone to spend time with our very social cat while we left on our fitting ever two week vacation. Caitlyn stayed in our house and took wonderful care of Buckley, complete with regular check-ins and photos. We could relax and know he was getting plenty of company, play time snd treats. We highly recommend Caitlyn and hope we get to have her back.”
“Such warmth from Olha - she really made lovely contact with my 2 cats and with me. We’ve had deaths in my family recently, and it was very important that I be able to make a difficult trip while trusting the person who was caring for my cats (who had been caring for me!). She sent pictures showing them being happy - that was just fantastic! Thank you, Olha! ❤️”
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! I’m a homemaker so I have plenty of time especially in the mornings when my daughter is at school; and since I just have one kid and one dog I’m very available I have a fence yard in my house and a dog park in my neighborhood as well as a dog park just across the street

“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.”
“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.”
“Jen took great care of my little best friend! He was excited to arrive and meet the dogs of the house and they were excited to meet him! It is immediately obvious that Jen is a bone-a-fied (pun intended) Dog Person!”
“We have been loving getting to know Ms. Aimee and her neighborhood. Fable has gone on lots of adventures with Ms. Aimee and is so excited for daycare. Thank you for all your love and care”
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!
About: Hi! I’m based in Northeast Austin and a lifelong dog lover. 🐾 I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I also have a dog of my own who is truly my pride and joy, so I understand how important it is to know your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Because I’m home full-time, your dog will get plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day; no long stretches alone. Whether your pup loves playtime, walks, or just relaxing with lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for like part of the family. 💕 I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! My schedule is open throughout the week and weekend. I’m available between the hours of 8:00am - 8:30 pm. Can be flexible if needed! :) I am very respectful and caring. I will follow any rules or directions you have for me while caring for your pets. They will be treated like they are apart of the family!
“I want to say thank you very much! I am so glad I found Melanie she is so amazing and I am so happy! Mila is enjoying herself so much and I can say that for the first time I am calm because I know that Mila is in good hands.”
“Alice took great care of our two pups during their day care stay with her. She was communicative and sent regular updates and photos during their day care stay with her. She followed instructions in their care sheet and was flexible with pick up and drop off times. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Elizabeth and Adrian were absolutely amazing with Nala! From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. They were caring, attentive, and made sure she felt comfortable and loved throughout her daycare stay. Nala had an absolute blast, especially making a new furry best friend, Niki! It was so heartwarming to see how much fun she had playing, socializing, and coming home happy and tired after a full day of adventures. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our girl. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we’ll definitely be booking with you again. Highly recommend Elizabeth and Adrian to anyone looking for kind, trustworthy, and loving pet caregivers!”
“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 have been pet sitting for over 10 years and love taking care of animals of all kinds and temperaments. Additionally, I have 5 years of volunteer experience with dogs, cats, and livestock in a shelter setting. I have worked with senior dogs, dogs with medical needs (including injectable medications), and behavioral challenges. I am currently a stay at home mom and available for pet care 24/7. I typically take my own dog on 2 walks a day and do not leave him home alone longer than a couple hours. I have a fenced yard, crate if needed, and a friendly 70 lb dog who loves company. I would love to have your dogs or cats join us for a stay! For boarding clients— I do have chickens in my backyard in a secure fenced area not accessible to the dogs. Most dogs are fine with this but I am unable to take dogs that are reactive to small animals as it is too stressful for them.
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for pups of all sizes! From small to large including seniors who need extra love and attention :) I have a 2year old Border Collie named Royal. He’s a very energetic, playful, and smart boy! I have a hybrid work schedule, so I’m flexible during the week. I’m also available for boarding and daycare on weekends and holidays. I live in an apartment complex with a fenced dog park nearby a trail perfect for walks. My unit is spacious enough for zoomies, with a balcony where your pup can enjoy some fresh air.
“Strongly recommend. Communication with Alex was great before and after the booking. Alex was responsive, helpful and put me at ease about bringing my dog for day care. She sent updates throughout a day, and when picked up, the dog was calm, restful and in a good mood.”
“Jessica was an amazing dog sitter for us and we HIGHLY recommend anyone use her. She sent us photos and took amazing care of our dog while we were on vacation. We would be thrilled to book with Jessica in the future!”
About: We treat every pet like our own, giving young pets the play, patience, and structure they need, and offering seniors the extra comfort and gentle care they deserve. Whether your dog or cat is young, old, or in between, we're here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My husband and I have a 4 year old Shiba Inu of our own (Tobimaru). We both work from home, so daily activities are morning and evening walks, indoor play, and backyard adventures when Toby is wanting outside. If a pet needs our attention, we are quick to grant that. Our fenced in backyard is well shaded, so it's bearable for heat or sun-sensitive dogs in the tough summers of Austin for their outdoor needs. Pets can have the run of the house - we have dog beds in nearly every room. Plenty of space for play inside, and a spacious fenced in backyard if they have the zoomies. We have plenty of room for crates if that is the preferred method of overnight rest for your pet. Our neighborhood has a great amount of foot traffic and dog walking, so we always feel safe in that regard.
“Only left my large dog (Ace) with Richard for a boarding day, but could tell Ace was comfortable with him. Richard sent photos and had Ace ready for an early pickup. Hope to use him again.”
About: TLDR: Goober is a 2c year old goober who is depressed when he doesn't get to play with friends. Sitter has 30+ year of extensive care experience with large and small animals. There is a 7 year old in the home and we ask that your dog be respectful of kiddos. He is at his Dads every other weekend so you might be with us when he isn't there. Also, most dogs ignore the kid because Goober is the main attraction. I'm very experienced in animal care and will take the best care of your dog. I'll also offer suggestions and input in making your dogs experience the best possible experience. --- Hi! I'm Rhiannon and this is Goober. Goober is a 2 year old akita/pyrenees/super mutt mix who is playful, happy, eager to please and very energetic. He loves being our family dog but he misses playing with dog friends and would love a dog sleepover with your pup. He's friendly, easily corrected by more alpha dogs, and can't stop/won't stop (till nap time in his crate). I'm Rhiannon, and I have so much animal care experience it's not even funny. I owned a horse for 30 years! (We just said goodbye to him last year at 33) and have cared for all aged animals for decades. I had a special needs pug and I used to rover all the time other special needs dogs when she was alive. I'm comfortable with basic medical care/first aid and basic training. I have a pretty solid routine so your dog will be on a schedule! We decided to get back to some Rovering so that Goober could show his true Southern hospitality to other active and playful dogs when their parents work long hours or are out of town. We've had wonderful times with our Rover sitters and wanted to provide affordable and quality care when we were available. This is for fun for us! We would be looking for all types of dogs, from other active and playful dogs to senior pups and everyone in between. We'd love for your pet to come over and enjoy our fenced in backyard, long walks/rides in the nature preserve next to our neighborhood, South Walnut Creek Hike and Bike and Boggy Creek Greenbelt. Dogs are fed twice a day (that can be modified if necessary) have a relatively stable routine of eating, playing, walking, napping, sunning, eating, playing, napping, walking. If your pup has special needs, separation anxiety, or behavior related to being in another place, let me know! We can work together to ensure your dog doesn’t have behaviors that would hurt himself or harm property and ensure they have a relaxing time with us. I want your dog to be relaxed, chill, and be so excited to come to our house when y'all are busy or out of town. I can give subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, medication, basic first aid if necessary. Since most dogs don't LOVE younger kids, we ask for a meet and greet if you aren't sure about your dogs behavior with a kid and to make sure the vibe is good with Goober. but if your dog is comfortable with kids or we've sat for you before, then just book us! But I'm very cautious with all dogs and kids since MOST dogs find being around children stressful (that being said, PLEASE leash your dogs when you are around children in public parks and playgrounds and always supervise kids and dogs :) My son is educated in bite prevention and respecting dogs, but I'm very careful! I usually ask all non-neutered/spayed or not-yet neutered/spayed dogs and male dogs who have a history of marking to bring a belly band to have on hand so that my 100-year-old original hardwood floors and my cheap amazon carpets don't get tinkled on. Most male dogs do mark in the house initially since there is a another male dog in the house. It just makes the visit go smoother and is good to have on hand anyway. Easy to get one delivered by Chewy too in prep for an upcoming stay. I work from home so the doggie will rarely be home alone and if I do have to go somewhere, I'll schedule them to nap while I'm gone in between play sessions. Please ensure your dog is crate trained and provide a crate (if you don't have one, I do have some). If you dog prefers to be gated in a place like a bathroom or laundry room, I have gates too. Kongs/Woof toys will be given whenever I leave so it actually is an enrichment time for them. I try not to leave new dogs home alone until they are comfortable in the house- I want them to have a good stay! And if I do I often bring them for a car ride. Here is a recent schedule from a sit I did: 6:30-7:30 am: Wake Up, Backyard Play Time, Breakfast 7:30 - 9 am: Play and Morning Walk 9 - 9:30 am: Enrichment in crate (Woof) 9:30 am - 12 pm: Morning Nap (in crate) Between 12 pm - 2 pm: Indoor Play and Outdoor backyard time 2 - 2:30 pm: Enrichment in crate (Woof) 2:30 pm - 5 pm: Afternoon Nap (in crate) 5 - 6:30 pm: Backyard play and indoor play 6:30 pm - 8 pm: Evening Walk 8 pm and on: Bedtime (in crate) The safety of the humans are the utmost priority for our household, that is why we ask for a meet and greet if you are unsure how your dog will be in our house. But we do hope to build long term sitting relationships with folks because we do really love dogs and Goober does get lonely and wants his buddies. It is essential that my clients entrust me in taking the best care of your dog, and I think you'll get to know me quickly that the dogs truly have "the life" at my house. The environment is dog safe, with a fenced in back yard, and the house is kid/dog proof. There ARE chickens but they have a separate, secure run and will not be coming into contact with your dog. Goober tries to catch them and then pluck the feathers out of their butt, so as long as your dog isn't a "proven" chicken killer, we should be good. If your dog is like Goober and has a strong prey drive and looking for a snack, I just keep the chickens in their coop when your dog is out in the backyard (usually dogs get backyard morning and evening. Chickens get their run during the day). Let me know if you dog can scale a 4 ft. fence!
About: What sets me apart is the sensitive, loving energy I bring to every animal I meet. I always read their body language and greet them with a calm, affectionate tone that lets me communicate safety to the shyest of cats; or demonstrate gentle authority to the most energetic of pups. I was born into a house with cats & dogs and have always felt that animals are part of the family. Over the past decade, I have cared for senior cats, postpartum dogs, high-anxiety animals, and would love to help care for your pets while you are away! I work fully remotely and set my own hours. My schedule is very flexible to accommodate the needs of your pet, through play sessions, walks, unique feeding schedules, etc. I care for animals in the client's home. I feel animals are more comfortable in the environment they are used to living in. It leads to a happier experience for us both. I follow any and all instructions left by the client.
“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 had dogs all of my life, and I am a big animal lover. I’ve successfully trained 2 puppies. I have many years of sitting and walking experience, professionally and otherwise. My dog is very friendly and well-socialized. I work from home so I’m available around the clock for the most part. For me, playing with pets is a wonderful stress reliever so we both get something beneficial out of it. I live in a neighborhood with safe walking paths with plenty of shade. I also have nearby dog parks, weather permitting. I have a big privacy-fenced backyard. I have gates and ways of partitioning space in my house and yard to accommodate special needs. I am a retired ICU nurse, so I am diligent about health and safety and very capable of administering medications as needed.

“Madeline was absolutely incredible with Frances! This was my first time using Rover and I am so happy that it was with someone as wonderful as Madeline. She was professional, kind, and provided me (a certified helicopter mom) with incredibly thorough updates. I would recommend her to all and will definitely be asking for her help again!”
“Josie was great to work with! She was very kind, was always on time, and took good care of my dog. She also accommodated a last minute schedule change, which we really appreciated.”
“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.”
About: Being honest, it has always been incredibly easy for me to connect with pets, especially dogs. I now have a 2 year old shihtzu who I absolutely adore and spoil every day. Sometimes I feel like he needs a little brother or a friend to play with, and even when I’m out with him, you’ll still catch me trying to pet every dog we pass. I simply love them deeply. Before having him, I had a Chihuahua for 13 years, and she taught me so much about unconditional love. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ dogs whenever they needed help. One moment that really showed me how naturally I bond with dogs was during a family beach trip, we found a big Boxer in the backyard who barked nonstop and scared everyone away. I was the only one who tried to approach him calmly and understand him. After spending time talking to him through the fence, he eventually trusted me enough to let me pet him. Soon after, I was able to go into the yard with him, and he turned out to be the sweetest dog. My family was shocked at how naturally and confidently I connected with him. That experience, among many others, made me realize how much I truly understand dogs, their fears, their excitement, their need for love, and how much joy it brings me to care for them. I am a person that love to exercise, love to go out in walks, hiking and also I love to wake up early. I think that a weekly pet routine would be like a peace time for me. I live in an apartment with my husband and our sweet shihtzu. I’m very flexible and always follow any rules or routines you have: feeding times, portions, walks, medication, anything your pet needs. I’m also happy to do a quick free meet-and-greet beforehand so you can feel completely comfortable and confident with me taking care of your treasure!
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
“Heather did a great job taking care of our pup for a same day walking/check in. She had no issues accommodating to specific entrance and feeding instructions and was very clear/thorough with communication!”
About: Hello! My name is Hannah. I have a 2 year old professionally trained black lab/German shepherd mix named Ziggy that weighs about 50 lbs. He has been raised around children in our neighborhood and is very well socialized. I've had dogs growing up my entire life and prior to my current dog, I rescued a black lab/pit bull mix that lived 15 wonderful years. I feel passionately that my dog is my family and I understand wanting to leave your baby in the care of someone who will take care of them like you do. I'm the go-to person for my friends when they need someone to watch their animals. I've had experience with boxers, rottweilers, yorkies, chihuahuas, (puppy and senior) and everything in between. After many years, I decided to go back to school to get my Master's in Humanitarian Law. I'm currently on a break from studying because I need to make the money I need to finish my degree. My husband has recently retired and we have been enjoying spending our days with Ziggy in the interim. Taking care of animals allows me to work a flexible schedule and enjoy my time with my family before I go back to school. We frequently take Ziggy swimming, for hikes, and to play with his favorite toy (Chuck-It). Looking forward to hearing from you! I'm currently unemployed and have a very flexible schedule. Our days currently revolve around my husband and I's dog Ziggy. We typically work in our garden, are working on decluttering our house, and are enjoying trying new recipes. We take Ziggy to exercise for at least an hour every day (whether that's walking, swimming, or playing fetch). Our dog is part of our family - he is allowed on the furniture and has a large collection of well-loved toys. We typically work on maintenance training during exercise and meal times. Ziggy knows how to place, shake, sit, and lay down on command (most of the time). We use a gentle lead when walking Ziggy to avoid pulling. Ziggy can be a bit spoiled with his food and sometimes needs a treat in the mix to entice him to eat. In our neighborhood, my husband has known all our neighbors for over 20 years. We bought our home in 2019 to be close to those neighbors and to have a community. While we have a fence that closes off our front yard/street, we took down the fence separating us from our neighbors to encourage that sense of community. On a typical day, we will let Ziggy out in the backyard and look up to see him playing with the neighborhood children (around age 5) out in the backyard. My brother and best friend rent rooms in our house and also love Ziggy dearly. There is a 5 year old cat that is an indoor/outdoor cat. He mostly keeps to himself but is very comfortable around dogs. If watching a dog at your house, I'm comfortable with a long list of requests for care. I'm comfortable administering medication, following a special diet, and/or doing anything that's needed to follow your pet's routine and make them most comfortable. I'm happy to meet ahead of any pet sitting requests if you would like to meet me and introduce me to your pet ahead of your departure. I'm happy to send updates/pictures as often as needed. Although I have the list pretty much memorized, I do keep a list of all foods and essential oils that are toxic to dogs. I've been around a variety of dog personalities and don't mind being patient with dogs that may be more anxious or prone to separation anxiety.
“Michael is so good with our animals! He walked our dog, but also was super friendly with our 2 cats. He's super responsive, and is always sending cute pictures. I'd recommend Michael to anyone needing pet sitting or dog walking!”
“Juan was excellent with our dog, Tina. Communication was great throughout the entire experience. He kept us updated and sent pictures, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear that Tina was well cared for and comfortable with him. We truly appreciated his reliability and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Juan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for them at every stage, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. My own beloved dog recently passed away at 16 years old, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for a pet. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own again, I truly miss having pets around and would love the opportunity to care for yours when you can’t be there. I’m reliable and committed to making sure every pet feels well cared for in my home. I love spending time with animals and can easily incorporate them into my daily routine. Them being well cared for is my prioritization. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can provide attentive care, plenty of potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. I am also quite active, so if the pet needs long walks, they are perfect for my daily walks! Any type of pet fits in my life, from an energetic puppy who needs extra activity to a senior dog or cat who prefers a slower pace. My priority is always making pets feel comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and any special care instructions so I can minimize stress.
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! I’m a homemaker so I have plenty of time especially in the mornings when my daughter is at school; and since I just have one kid and one dog I’m very available I have a fence yard in my house and a dog park in my neighborhood as well as a dog park just across the street
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: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I got my first dog at six years old, and today my three cats happily run the household. Friends know me as the person who ends up spending more time with the pets than the people, usually on the floor doing what we jokingly call "pet yoga" with whichever dog or cat wants to join. I have a special soft spot for rescue animals, senior pets, and those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I've supported local rescue organizations for years and even helped transport animals for Austin Pets Alive during the Texas floods. Whether your pet wants adventure, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I’m a real estate agent so my schedule is flexible! I’m an early riser and as a life long Texan, I don’t mind the middle of the day summer heat. Having worked with rescue animals and senior pets, I'm comfortable moving at each animal's pace and paying attention to the little details that help them feel secure and stress-free.
About: I bring 3 years of professional experience working with cats and dogs, handling everything from daily care routines to administering a variety of medications and basic medical support. I also have seven months of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic puppies to large breeds like Mastiffs, and am comfortable meeting the needs of pets with different personalities and care requirements. I work full-time at an animal shelter, so providing attentive, compassionate care for animals is already a part of my daily routine. My early morning to midday schedule allows me to spend the very beginning and end of my day focusing on giving your pets plenty of attention, care, and love! I share my home with a kitty who means the absolute world to me. He’s the sweetest boy and is always waiting at the door for cuddles the moment I get home. I make sure to keep life fun and enriching for him every day, whether that’s a long play session, brushing (his favorite) or a special treat. Because of how much I care for my own pet and pets at work, I understand how important it is to give animals the love, attention, and patience they deserve, and I’m confident I can provide that same level of care for your pets.
“Jimmy was our first Rover and after only 2 walks, I can’t imagine having any other! He has great situational awareness and communication skills. He even did some research to find out why my pup lays down when another dog approaches. He’s working with her on this which I greatly appreciate. I highly recommend you book with Jimmy. He’s so good with my girl, Riley. She loves him!”
About: I grew up in a dog-loving family and have been surrounded by dogs for most of my life. Although I was afraid of dogs when I was little, overcoming that fear gave me an even greater appreciation for them. Caring for dogs has become something I truly enjoy, and I’ve gained experience with their daily routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. A few years ago, I also became a cat mom in the most unexpected way when my cat, Lola, found me and became part of my family. Caring for both a dog and a cat has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and different needs. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or simply enjoys a calm and familiar routine, I’ll provide patient, attentive care tailored to them. My family dog, Ruby, now lives with my parents, so I miss having a dog by my side every day. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with wonderful dogs and cats while giving owners peace of mind, knowing their pets will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I work full time 7-4, so I am available after 4 on weekdays, and available on weekends to come over and take care of your babies! I want to make your pet as happy as possible when you are away. I love to be outside with them and take them on walks, or just hangout in the house and play as well!

We will definitely be working with her again!”
