“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.”

I received Miesha back just as I had left her. I highly recommend Amy for a pet sitter and will definitely use her again in the future!”

I also received daily updates and pictures! I could tell Zara had a great time with Ryan and I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a kind and loving sitter :)”

“Katherine is truly the WORLDS BEST DOGSITTER, providing exceptional care that my dogs absolutely adored. Even my chihuahua, who typically takes time to warm up to new people, felt comfortable and happy in her presence. Katherine consistently sent delightful pictures and updates, ensuring we felt connected and reassured about our pets’ well-being. Adding a unique touch, she even engaged them in fun art projects, creating memorable keepsakes from their stay. We will definitely be booking Katherine again for our dogsitting needs. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a caring and creative dogsitter! 🐾”
About: I have experience watching dogs of all ages and sizes in NY and now Texas. I understand needs of dogs whether that be sensitive to noises, separation anxiety, etc - I’ve seen it all. Especially with my own six pound Chihuahua! Experience in administering medicine and training, I can help you and accommodate for anything you may need. I have tons of love to give and will provide an easy and calming experience for you and your family. I work from home and am able to give your pet 24/7 attention. Walks can be given every hour and the dog park at least once a day, if your dog likes dog parks. I am available every day and very flexible with scheduling. I live alone in a quiet house with a fenced backyard so there’s plenty of space for your furry friend to get comfortable. I also have a very friendly chihuahua that will be with me for any dog boarding. Your dog may sleep on the furniture or in a crate, whatever you prefer. I can administer medicine (no shots) and live within walking distance of a vet that I know personally, so this is the perfect place in case of any emergencies.

He was attentive, gentle, and clearly cared deeply for her comfort and happiness. I truly appreciated the care he showed my little one, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”

About: My own pup spends the summer with my sister in New Jersey (we co-parent) so I’m looking forward to having a dog in the house while he’s gone! From owning a dog and growing up with them, I have experience managing separation anxiety, oral medications, and generally making sure they are comfortable and get plenty of attention. If you have an active dog, I have a fenced yard and love talking long walks around the neighborhood. I also work from home, so I can be around for the majority of the day. I work remotely so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I can offer frequent potty breaks and morning/evening walks - with cuddles & play time in between meetings :) I have a fenced yard and no pets or kids in the home, so I’m very flexible depending on what your pup needs, which we can discuss!
About: I specialize in providing calm, attentive, and personalized care that helps pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities—including puppies who need consistency and seniors who need patience and extra support. I’m confident with leash manners, basic training reinforcement, medication administration, and recognizing stress or anxiety signals early. What truly sets me apart is my communication—pet parents receive frequent updates and photos, so you’re never left wondering how your furry family member is doing. Many pets warm up to me quickly, even those who are shy or anxious. I'm currently WFH, which allows me to prioritize pet care. I’m available for boarding and daycare, giving me ample time for walks, play sessions, enrichment activities, and relaxed companionship. Your little one will also have my little to play with throughout the day. Because pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, your puppy will receive plenty of affection throughout the day and evening. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with close supervision and plenty of cozy spaces to relax. I follow all care instructions carefully—feeding schedules, walk routines, and any medical or behavioral needs. In your home, I’m respectful, reliable, and detail-oriented, ensuring your pet’s routine stays consistent. If I'm housesitting, my dog, Bugsy, will also be with me. I always provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, relaxed pet—and book with me again.
“Amanda and Jared were awesome hosts. My wife and I left Rocco our 13 month old Golden Retriever with them and boy did he have a blast during his play date. Amanda and Jared are great people and make you feel very comfortable from the beginning as they love our dogs as if they were there own. I would recommend if you are in Austin and in the need of a doggy daycare to book with them. Thank you Amanda and Jared”
