About: I grew up with multiple dogs all my life. I have experience training sight-guide dogs. I have pet sat for dogs, cats, bunnies, and birds before. I currently work 5 days a week Sunday-Thursday from 2-10pm, so on those days so your pet will have about 8 hours alone **with the exception that Wednesdays I work 9 hours**. After work and the weekends, I love taking pets out on walk/doing enrichment in the home when I am with them! I live on a second floor apartment so your pet will need to be able to go up and down stairs. I have 1 bedroom with a good amount of space and sun spots for them to play and lay out.
“Aine was absolutely fantastic. From the start and meeting her at first, she asked questions to make sure she understood Ralph’s needs and how best to care for him. She sent daily updates and the CUTEST photos. I can’t recommend her enough and would absolutely use her again. Thank you Aine!!”
“Maira and Shawn have been wonderful with Sierra! When my flight got delayed for days due to TX weather they gladly kept her longer and even offered a discount. I highly recommend!”
“This was our pup’s first time with a pet sitter and I cannot gush enough to express what a great experience we had with Stephanie. Our guy was so happy! She kept in close communication and had such a calm and easy demeanor. She truly loves these pets and incorporates them into her family. Our pup came back to us happy and I can tell he was well-loved. Without a doubt, she is the designated pet sitter as long as she will have us. Super grateful to find her!”

“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..”

“Sami is a great sitter - very good with communication if there is an issue before or during a session. She proactively notified us when she saw an issue with our cats litterbox so we could get it fixed ASAP. Sami is also good with our elderly kitty, who can be a bit feisty as a calico. They get along great and Sami has even brought her own laser pointer when the one at our house got lost (oops!) Definitely recommend Sami as a sitter!”
“Jessica is an amazing pet sitter. She looked over my cat while I was away for a week. She's very descriptive & timely in her visits & reports. She takes the responsibility seriously. Will rebook if she's available.”

It is super clear that Sierra is an animal lover & takes excellent care. It really helped me be stress free traveling this past weekend. Would absolutely book again. Thank you Sierra!”
“Taylor was excellent in all ways, she was timely, communicative, and our two cats (with one being typically shy) took to her immediately. She played with the cats, sent lots of pictures of both of them and cleaned the litter. She even went above what we asked for and swept up where the cats love to track litter out of their box and righted our camera that one of the cats decided to knock over!”
“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 ✨”

“Yesenia is always the best sitter for our pup. She has wonderful communication and makes me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sends lots of photos and makes you feel reassured that your pup is in the best hands!”
“My dog Otto had a fun day with Kristen and her family. Kristen has a nice fenced in yard for dogs and her house is across the street from a park where they spent lots of time. Kristen also has lots of dog toys in her yard that Otto enjoyed playing with. Kristen's dog Zoey is very sweet and would get along with any dog, and Kristen's children took an interest in Otto. Kristen sent pictures even though I didn't request them (thank you!), she was very flexible about drop off and pick up times, and her location in South Austin was very convenient for us. I recommend Kristen without reservation.”
About: For 13 years I've taken care of dogs, cats, river turtles, hamsters and snakes (yeah 😂). Literally count me in for anything you need 🤍 I'm a morning person so, in case you're running late for work, I'll take care of the angel ✨ My schedule is very open at the moment. Currently available to work at your home and make the most out of it. I also like them to socialize so, if beach or park is accessible nearby, I like to have them walk around and meet other angels 🙏🏻🤍
“Denise was so amazing with Finley. Sometimes he takes a while to warm up to people, and within an hour he was sleeping on her lap! We will definitely be using Denise again-- she has a way with animals.”
About: I've taken care of friend's and family's dogs for years! Natural dog lover at heart but unfortunately haven't been able to adopt a fur-friend of my own. Experience with shy timid dogs that need a calm friendly companion to look after them! I currently WFH so have lots of time to spend with you pups! Available for day care and boarding week days and or weekends depending on need Live without any other pets so your pup will have a calm relaxing environment to stay and roam in (plus all the undivided attention!). Can easily crate your dog too if needed
“I literally can’t not say enough positive things about Laura! She accepted my booking super last minute when I really needed the assistance! She is sweet as pie and loves my baby Prince Ralphie as of it was her her own fur baby 💕💯”

“Kara is fantastic! If I could add more stars I would. Everything I was looking for and more!! I have 2 high maintenance babies and she takes such good care of them at doggy daycare. I receive tons of pictures and some videos too which I ADORE! It truly makes me feel so much better while I’m at work because I know my angels are towing loved and taken care of. Thanks Kara and family! You have made such a huge difference in our lives already ❤️.”
“Our pup Alfie recently spent the day with Stephanie and we were very pleased with his stay. Our boy hasn't met a lot of people yet so he was a little anxious when we dropped him off. Stephanie kept us updated throughout the day and our boy finally settled in after an hour. We really appreciated her updates and we could tell she was very knowledgeable about the behavior of dogs. We will be using Stephanie for all of our doggy boarding needs. Thank you!”
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!
“They were fabulous!!! My dog Inez loved playing with their pup Willy and I got several pics and videos throughout the day. She seemed very tired and content when she got home! Extra special thanks to Katherine because our flight coming back was delayed several times and she was so nice being flexible with having to change pickup time. Would definitely recommended!!”
“Lots of room for Nyx to play with other the other dogs. The host was professional and efficient also very nice and straight forward about what she expects. I look forward to the next time for sure”
“Amanda and Jared are the most amazing dog watching couple! They absolutely love our dog and are so attentive when they watch him. Not only do they send pics with updates but they treat him like their own. 100% recommend for anyone needing a dog sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with and taken care of animals all my life. I have a 9 year old cat and 15 month old dog. They are my pride and joy. I also have experience with elderly dogs and cats. I am currently in between jobs and have plenty of time on my hands. I am available to pet sit all week and most weekends. I live in an apartment complex with a dog park. I also have a 15 month old pup who I take for walks at least 3 times a day. He’s great with other dogs both small and large and he lives with a cat. He’ll keep your pets company.

“Amelia is great! She’s been prompt and great, we had some issues with the building elevator etc and was ready to accommodate and make sure my pup was taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, she’s been great and I look forward to rebooking with her in the future 🙂”
“Thank you Aryanna! I appreciate you very much for taking Notch out. And I appreciate the thoughtful questions you asked about him on our call. I can tell you take great care in making sure our pets get the best treatment during your visits!”
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 am able to care for all animals. I have had dogs my entire life and lived with cats. I am young and able to walk as long as your pet needs! My schedule is currently open since I am a graduate student, meaning my summers are free! I have my own dog but in the middle of the day and late afternoon I am open. I am available to take your pets on long walks, keep them company, and give them treats! I am used playing fetch for long period of time or crating pets before I leave the home.
“Very communicative and responsible with our young and vivacious puppy. Christian worked her flawlessly on walks, reinforcing some training we’ve been doing while adapting to any particular needs she had that day. I would highly recommend!”
“Lily is AWESOME!!! Justice (my precious dog), was anxious when he first met her, but Lily was extremely patient and SO VERY loving and gentle with him - Needless to say, Lily quickly won him over!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤️”
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
“Raven is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! So far this is our second week with her walking Frankie and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Very professional, responsive and accommodating.”
“Madeline is amazing! Very punctual, super reliable, and does great with my dog. I trust her completely and I know my dog is in good hands with her. I highly recommend!”
“We loved Mariia taking care of our pets for the week. She fed our cat and walked the dog twice a day- was always on time, clearly communicated, and was always friendly and professional. I would trust her in my home anytime.”
“Courtney is always amazing! But this last time she let our girl out she went above and beyond for us! I forgot to put our key out for courtney and she did not hesitate to come to my work to get the key from me. So grateful to have someone I trust let our Greta out!”
“Laura was on time and communicative! She sent pictures of the walk which brightened up my day. Poppy clearly loves having her! She’s incredibly reliable and I highly recommend her as a dog walker!”

“Aine was absolutely fantastic. From the start and meeting her at first, she asked questions to make sure she understood Ralph’s needs and how best to care for him. She sent daily updates and the CUTEST photos. I can’t recommend her enough and would absolutely use her again. Thank you Aine!!”

“Smooth handoff and pickup. Appreciated the flexibility with flight delays and time changes. Squash looked happy and was obviously tired from playing with other doggies for a long weekend. Highly recommend.”
“Arie & Etty are wonderful! They were so attentive to Juno during her stay with them. They take her for walks regularly, let her play outside in their large, private yard and they sent us lots of photos so we could see how she was doing. She had a great time and we will definitely use them again soon. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Lara was so sweet to work with! She sent tons of cute pictures, clearly made my pup feel comfortable and loved, and made an effort to align to typical home routines. She is super responsive and communicative which puts my mind at ease while I’m away.”

“Margaret was great! From the second I pulled up with my dog (Rosie), she was very welcoming and made Rosie feel right at home. My dog can be a little nervous at first but Margaret is clearly a dog person and immediately connected with her. I received regularly photos and videos and could tell my pup was having a great time and not missing me at all. Will definitely leave my Rosie with Margaret in the future!”
“Leaving your dog with someone new can be scary, but Mitchell was amazing! During our meet and greet, he asked so many thoughtful questions to make sure Peachy would get the best care possible. While I was away, he sent plenty of updates and photos, followed all instructions perfectly, and really put my mind at ease. I never worried for a second about Peach—she looked so happy in every picture! He also lives in a very walkable area, which was perfect for her. Highly recommend Mitchell to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with my pup. She made sure he feels at home while we kept him with her. She also kept us updated on his activities and how’s he doing in general. I would definitely recommend her, she’s very trust worthy!”
“Amanda is always amazing with my Maya. She’s become her regular sitter ever since her first stay. She does so well with her, is always reliable and trustworthy, and I love getting pictures throughout the day. I really hit the jackpot when I first found her and am so thankful!”
