“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.”

“Rui was very accommodating of my last minute reservation and very responsive to my messages. She and her husband were warm and welcoming, and I will definitely use her again!”

“Denise is a fantastic, caring sitter! She took wonderful care of our Harley and sent regular updates and photos! Her dog as well as the other boarders were very welcoming and the backyard is large and secure. Great experience!”

“Patches did an amazing job caring for my miniature dachshund! She had great communication, always responding quickly, and sent daily updates that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away for a week. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in such great hands!”

“Bassam is the best! He will love and take care of your pups during their stay. My trip got unexpectedly extended a day and Bassam was so understanding. I knew my pups were safe and happy while I was detailing with travel details. I can not recommend him enough!”

“Cashew had a great time! I could tell from the many pic updates that he was well loved and cared for. Gol was extra accomodating when I ran into car trouble and I couldnt pick up my dog until hours after the original drop off time. Will definitely use again!”

“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.”

“super sweet people. they made me feel super safe about leaving my pup with them and she sent me photo updates every day. and their pup fionn is such a sweet dog”

“We are so grateful for Rockie’s stay with Mariana and her mom. They took such great care of him, gave him Christmas bandanas, lots of playtime and love. We highly recommend them for your pets!😊”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Madeline was a great sitter. My little girl was nervous and not too happy with me for leaving her for a week but Madeline did everything she could to make Olive comfortable and happy. She was communicative and responsive. By the end of Olive’s stay she was feeling right at home! Thank you!”

“I don’t know who had a better time: Luna, Samuel, or us! 😂 LOVED our experience with Samuel and look forward to booking again. He was communicative, thoughtful and took great care of our pup.”

“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!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since birth and have lived with a dog all but 5 years of my life. Although I personally don’t have a furry friend, all of my friends do and often rely on me to provide their dog a fun vacation and safe stay while they are away. Anything from taking care of sick or older dogs to training puppies, I’ve been fortunate to watch a lot of dogs in my life and have earned their trust through care and treating them like family. Since I don’t have pets of my own, more of my day can be dedicated to yours. Whether dog or cat, my apartment offers space for both to roam and be outside. I also regularly walk on the Lady Bird trail located just steps from my home which allows me to be very active and your pet to do the same. I work in West Lake 3 days a week but am able to come home freely for lunch. The other 5 days of the week I am either working or hanging around my home, plenty of time to be dedicated to caring for your pets. I prefer not to crate animals while I am away if they don’t need to be. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe in my home while also feeling like on vacation, with the trail and dog park nearby. I am a huge animal lover so of course they are invited on the furniture and in my bed, however will respect your rules if they differ. Your pet will be treated as if it were mine because all of my love and time will be solely dedicated to it when I am home. You can feel safe knowing your dog or cat won’t have to be forced to get along with another while at home, but also having the ability to play with other dogs/cats on the trail and in the dog park.

“Katie was so amazing! She watched my sweet cat over a weekend and did such a great job making sure all of her stuff was set up each day and playing with her! She also sent me so many pics each day which I am so thankful for and made being away from my cat much easier for me. Thank you Katie!!”

Being away for a bit over a week can be stressful, but she made it so much easier by sending updates and adorable photos of our cats. I felt completely at ease knowing they were being cared for so well.”

“Alexa went above and beyond taking care of my cat Harlow. She is very communicative and just a joy to work with. I came home to a very happy kitty! I definitely recommend her”

She’s offered to take my pup to his grooming appointment while I was at work. I can always trust in her to take great care of my pup. She’s even dropped him off to me! She has truly been a life saver!”

I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and special care instructions.

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

About: Begged for a puppy since I was 12, have been taking care of my own since then. I’ve noticed a Samson- shaped whole in my heart since 2016 (RIP), love when I can help others take care of theirs 🥰. Promise to not get jealous, k? I’ll keep my end of the deal up 🙏🏽 I’m working part-time & remote. I have a pretty flexible schedule, and prefer to go out in the afternoons/ sunset hours to get that vitamin D 😎 I take care as I would want someone to take care of my Samson. I can also bring along my best friend’s Pomeranian if we’re trying to get social

I especially appreciated her sending many pictures of her interacting with my puppy, I know she received plenty of attention during her stay. I would highly recommend this pet sitter!”

About: I have been around pets my whole life, but I’ve been taking care of them on my own for about 2 years. I also have personal experience owning a dog, a cat and two guinea pigs. I have cared for pets of all ages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets that need extra attention. Every pet I have taken care of has always been in good hands I’m a college student in the AFROTC program at UT Austin. My weekdays can get pretty busy with classes, but Mondays and Fridays I’m mostly free. I also have some breaks between classes Tuesday through Thursday where I can stop by for pet care. Fridays and weekends are usually wide open, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need I don’t bring pets into my own home, but I make sure they’re comfortable and cared for in their own space. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep up with feeding and walks, give them playtime and attention, and make sure they feel safe while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs for 20+ years and have had multiple years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I promise your pup will be in good hands! I work full time, but can let dogs out during my lunch hour and can take care of dogs after 5 pm during the work week. On the weekends, i’m fully able to take care of dogs throughout the day. I live in an apartment complex but have close access to the trail and an open dog park. I have a corgi; but can crate if needed. Your dogs safety is my first concern. Whatever you need, we can adapt!
“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!”
About: I grew up taking care and loving dogs! I grew up with 3 at home and now a beautiful one of my own. I am a very attendant caretaker. I will make sure they are being loved, fed, walked and never neglected! I have administered medicine and will do specific care for the needs of any pet. :) I currently work on my own schedule so I am very flexible with walking or taking care of your baby. My boyfriend also works from home half of the week, so there is always someone around! If not, we never leave for longer than 2 hours! We have a sole inside pet and yours would be too! We take him on walks around the neighborhood, and take him to the dog park inside our community. We will make sure your pet is comfy and happy. Whether they are crate trained, sofa sleepers or bed sleepers. We will allow whatever’s most comfortable!
“Kathryn is so great with my wild Millie girl. I trust her to keep her safe on walks and manage her if some other dogs get too sassy! Millie is sweet but also a 90 lb handful so I really appreciate Kathryn’s handling of her. Will be using her again!”

“Jeremy is a great Rover walker. It’s so hot outside that we needed to bump back the time of the walks and just mostly play indoors and he is very accommodating. Our dog loves seeing him each day!”

About: I have cared for and watched dogs all my life! Love taking them on walks for some good exercise for us both! I also have my own dog (currently not so me in city) and he was very high energy, so I am used to that as well. All dogs are welcome! I would be able to take any lunchtime walk in between 12 pm-1 pm and also 5pm-7pm. Can be flexible if any other time is requested, just please let me know and I can work it out. I am sure to be careful and watch them on a frequent basis to ensure that they are comfortable and happy. Work from home so I can keep a watchful eye on them! I have a pretty spacious apartment so lots of room for them to roam around. When it comes to walking, I have many paths and walkable areas by me as well.
“Megan has been great working and walking my little pup Riley, who is always happy to see her! Very communicative and great updates on how the walks are going, and has been a relief knowing my dog has some companionship when I have to work. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting professionally for over 3 years and have cared for 90+ pets. I’ve worked with puppies, senior dogs, cats, and multi-pet households, and I’m comfortable giving medications and following each pet’s routine. Whether it’s boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, or walks, I always do my best to make pets feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible while their families are away. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I’m typically out of the house for no more than 5 hours at a time so pets get lots of company and attention throughout the day and I always make sure pets have everything they need before I leave. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and at home. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their boundaries and make sure they always have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise and lots of love. If they need medication or extra care, I’m happy to follow your instructions carefully. I treat every pet as if they were my own!
“Adriana provided excellent overnight care and was accommodating with my dog’s medical needs. She sent me pics and videos on a daily basis which was extremely helpful since this was my first time using River- I will definitely book again. As an added plus, she sent my dog home with a beautiful Christmas bandanna and a little bag of dog treats which included a cute little note and magnet with my dog’s pic in front of a Christmas tree- such a great surprise!! Thank you, Adriana!!!!”

“Gail is very trustworthy and went above and beyond caring for Rambo when he required extra attention after he sustained an ear injury the day before I left for my trip. This is my second time using Gail as a sitter for my dog and I would use her again.”

“Priscila was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Oscar. She was incredibly friendly, communicative, and clearly cared deeply about making sure Oscar was happy and well taken care of while I was away. I really appreciated the regular updates and how responsive she was throughout the stay. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing Oscar was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Priscila to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”


“He was great! He sent a lot of updates and pictures! My dog even cuddled up to him on day one, which is huge for him. If I need to board him again, I would absolutely leave him with Ryan!!”
