About: I’ve pet sit for dogs big and small as well as cats. I also have two cats and two dogs of my own that I’ve cared for since they were babies. Additionally I volunteered at an animal shelter, taking care of cats for two years. With my own pets, I clean up after them, walk them and feed them. It’s a normal part of my routine and I very much enjoy sending time with animals including playing and walking them. I make sure to focus on an animals needs and their behaviors to make sure they are comfortable. In clients home I am always respectful of their spaces and make sure pet care is cleaned up and put back where it was.

If you’re looking for someone who has amazing communication, sends great photos, & loves to give attention to your pets, Eliza is definitely who you’re looking for!!! Thank you again so, so much for your help!!! I would 1000% have Eliza back to help in the future!”

She let us know if there was gonna be a change to her schedule. Generally, she’s just a very kind person and glad to have met her. Definitely ask her to come back again.”
About: I’ve been around cats my whole life and actually helped raise my own cat from just 4 weeks old, so I’m very comfortable with kittens and understanding feline behavior as they grow. That early hands on experience made me really attentive to things like routines, comfort, and reading a cat’s personality and body language. I’m natural calm and gentle, and I’m good at meeting cats where they are, whether they’re playful and social or more shy and independent. I always try to keep things low stress and familiar for them so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
About: I have loved and lived with animals my entire life, growing up with dogs since birth. I currently care for parents dog and cat, which gives me daily, hands-on experience managing different pet personalities, feeding schedules, and keeping both dogs and cats happy and safe. This summer, I am taking online classes from home and do not have a full-time job. This gives me a completely open, highly flexible schedule. I will be spending the vast majority of my day directly at your home, meaning your pets will have constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention. Safety and respect are my top priorities. I treat your home with the utmost care, keeping everything clean, secure, and locked. I also send daily photo and text updates so you always know your pets are safe, happy, and thriving.

Because I have been pet sitting for years, I am really great with animals. I understand the importance of communication, so I will make sure to take care of your pet(s) exactly how you’d like!
“Lily was AMAZING! We were in town for it son's graduation, and while our dog is ok at home by himself, he was very anxious here. As we didn't expect it, we were looking for someone last minute. She was able to help for the last several daya we were in town. By the 3rd day, as soon as Lancer realized we were close to her house, he was wagging and super excited. If we lived in the area, I would 100% be a repeat customer.”
About: I’ve always grown up with dogs, worked at a vet clinic when I was younger, and became a doggie foster as an adult. I have experience caring for senior pups as well.

I take my dog to the dog park daily, and when the weather is nice we will walk Town Lake. I have cameras in my home and on the property. If I am not home I can take a look at how the dogs are doing. I also have a fenced in yard.

About: Husband & wife Duo | Full-Time | Flexible *****££ Our Story Hi my name is Mimi and my husband’s name is Stewart. We’re a husband and wife Duo with years of experience in pet care and outdoor adventures. We know that we build such strong bonds with our fur friends 🐶 and fur babies that's why it is difficult leaving them home for a day when we need to go to work. Trust me we both get it! and we know you feel the same because you are here and you want someone who can care for your animals as if it is their own, and that’s why we’re here too. We want to help. We specialize in working with energetic work dogs and take dogs on adventure hikes to get their energy out. Also, the two of us means more flexible care, more fun outdoor adventures and more love for your fur companion. In Colorado, we were small-town pet sitters and took dogs on adventures in the mountains, then soon fostered some dogs and later raised our Siberian puppy, which helped us gain so much insight into animal behavior. Care Style As a lifelong animal lover and outdoor enthusiast, we created this service to give dogs more than just a walk — we give them adventures. We will take your pup out for an adventure hike to engage their natural work instincts and provide them with mental stimulation they crave and will reduce destructive behaviors. They will also get socialization which helps them to live longer fruitful lives as they are also social pack creatures. This is so important because our companions have needs too! From scenic trails to playful park days, our mission is to keep your pup active, happy, and thriving in nature. We believe every dog deserves exercise, enrichment, and love while their humans are away. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities, combined with positive reinforcement and recreation therapy training, we incorporate safety, patience, and plenty of fun into every outing. Whether it’s a hike, a run, or a gentle stroll, we tailor each adventure to your dog’s energy level and needs so that they may live healthy lives like us. We’re very patient and have a knack for understanding all walks of life which we consider to be our greatest strength! We would be honored to care for your pups. Details We typically need 1 days notice to prepare for your dogs care. Meet and greets are encouraged especially if you are aware of some specific care requirements so please schedule a meet and greet with us. Reach out if you have any questions, we can't wait to connect. Check out our instagram page to see some of our fun adventures. Instagram: Adventuretimeac_ Website Google: Adventure Time Animal Care We are full time animal care takers and since there is 2 of us we can be more flexible in our schedules to accommodate your pups needs. We like to build trust through play, learn every dog breed behaviors, motivators, and create fun activities by applying positive reinforcement training to establish a communication and understanding in an outdoor environment. Positive reinforcement training is an established evidence based training that includes a clicker and rewards such as treats to reinforce behaviors. We’re also familiar with certain toy precautions, food and environmental allergy precautions so we try to implement mindfulness practices on this with our treat selections. Throughout the day we will provide picture updates and texts to let you know how they are adjusting or day is going. If we go on group walks or hikes please let us know beforehand about the status of your dogs vaccinations for this is extremely important and we hope that the severity of this necessity is known for your dogs health and others. Vaccinations protect dogs from severe conditions that could be transmitted from the environment and interactions with other dogs.

“This was my first experience with Rover and Pepper's first experience at a Doggy Day Care. I was a bit concerned about how Pepper would act as it was her first time away from me. However, Christopher's confidence and plan for Pepper quickly put me at ease. Pepper adapted to the environment fairly quick and loved playing with the other dogs. Christopher's professionalism and care were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend using Christopher.”
“Natalie took amazing care of my dog, provided lots of cute photos and videos, and asked thoughtful questions beforehand to make sure that she knew everything she needed to about Ollie before their day together!! Thanks Natalie!!!”
About: I have cared for dogs all of my life. As a child, we bred Labrador puppies. We were taught to raise them from the beginning with love, care, and discipline. While I've been around dogs and cats all of my life, I also have plenty of experience with other pets like snakes, Guinea pigs, chameleons, pet rats, turtles, lizards, birds and always love meeting a new animal to learn more about their care routine. Boarding/Day Care: We have a highly energetic, one year old puppy. We usually only take males or spayed females as our puppy is not yet neutered. If your dog is easily triggered, it may not be a fit. Yote is friendly, but high energy, so fits well with an energy match. I’m a software engineer, but my schedule is fairly flexible and I work from home. If the request fits into my schedule, I’d love to help care for your pet. I will work with you to make sure that your pet gets plenty of love while you are away, whether it be that you have to work late or are going on vacation.
About: Hi, I’m Alena — a mom of four wonderful children, a travel enthusiast, and a lifelong animal lover. I grew up surrounded by pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs, and spent much of my childhood wishing I could be Dr. Dolittle. For more than a decade, I shared my home with three cats, and over the years I’ve gained extensive experience caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. I previously fostered dogs through Austin Pets Alive and have spent many vacations caring for pets through TrustedHousesitters. I’m comfortable administering prescription medications to both cats and dogs, as well as handling basic grooming needs. Today, I share my home with two cats and two dogs. For the comfort and safety of all pets, my dogs live separately from any boarding guests. Boarding dogs stay on the upper floor and do not interact with my pets. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets, get to know their unique personalities, and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible work schedule, so I’m available to board your pet any day of the week. I would love to take your dogs for a walk, too! For boarding, I provide a safe space and a pet bed in my bedroom, separately from my own pets. Dogs have free reign in the fenced backyard and enjoy walks around the neighborhood twice a day, ranging from 10 min to 2 hours, depending on their needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was young. I’m fully remote. I live with my boyfriend why also wfh and helps me care for our pets. My friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to watch over their fur babies! And I’ve slowly built out my profile of clients in Austin! I work from home and will not leave my apartment to care for your dog most hours of the day. The times I do leave, I have a doggie cam. My dogs have always been my best friends and any dog I watch I will treat as my own as I know they are your best friend too! Being wfh allows me to dedicate more time to your pets including play time, walks, and cuddles! I now have a yard for the dogs to play in! As well as trials and a gated dog park. Please refer to reviews as well as clients have been so kind to leave some! I am currently working for home as is my boyfriend and am at home most hours of the day! My meetings are fully remote so I will be with your fur baby all day playing and taking care of them! My apartment complex also has a dog park built in. And I live 3 minutes from lady bird lake trail for walks, but will always ask for permission before hand as I know the Texas heat is overwhelming to some pets. Depending on your needs I’m flexible on my schedule and pickup times. I can easily crate your dog if you need me too or let them roam around depending on your preference! I live in an apartment with a fenced backyard that is completely safe. I have one small dog who is very friendly and loves to meet new dog friends and my other dog is a total sweetheart and also loves other dogs. I will constantly be watching the dogs while I’m at home. If I do leave them alone to go to run an errand. I have a camera and I check in on the dogs frequently, so they will never be left alone.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and helped watch pets for friends and family for several years. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy and vocal dogs since I’ve owned a Husky and a Sheltie, so barking, excitement, and big personalities don’t bother me at all. I genuinely enjoy walking dogs (even for free while dog sitting) because it’s calming for both me and the dog (as long as the owner is okay with it). I also take pet safety seriously. One dog I was caring for had eaten something it shouldn’t have before the owners left town. While dog sitting, I noticed the dog was acting unusual and decided to take it to the emergency vet right away while keeping the owner updated throughout the process. The dog ended up being okay, and I always try to stay attentive, calm, and communicative when caring for a pet. I recently graduated and am currently searching for jobs, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available every day of the week and have a very flexible schedule throughout the day! I always try to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed whether I’m in my home or the owner’s home. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, walks, medications, and anything else the owner wants done a specific way. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I’m very attentive to unusual behavior and believe in keeping owners updated if anything seems off. I also respect people’s homes and try to leave everything exactly how I found it.
“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.”
“Sydne is AMAZING. We are so grateful for her and her quick responses, ability to be flexible and loving on our guy so well! We always feel safe knowing she’s with him during work days.”

I have a fenced in yard and walk my dogs every day to ensure they have enough exercise. And I work from home so they get plenty of attention.

About: Hola everyone! My name is Lyana, and I wanted to share my wonderful experience as a pet and house sitter companion. As someone who adores animals and has a knack for taking care of homes, this role has been a perfect fit for me. I've had the pleasure of caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and even some exotic animals. Each furry or feathery friend has brought so much joy into my life. One of the things I love most about being a pet and house sitter companion is the opportunity to build strong bonds with the animals I care for. Whether it's playing fetch with a lively pup or curling up on the couch with a purring cat, the love and companionship they provide is truly heartwarming. It's incredibly fulfilling to know that I'm making a positive impact on their lives while their family is away. In addition to the joy of spending time with animals, house sitting allows me to explore different neighborhoods and communities. I've had the chance to discover beautiful parks, scenic hiking trails, and charming local spots, all while ensuring the safety and security of the homes I'm entrusted with. It's like having a mini adventure every time I take on a new house sitting assignment. I enjoy engaging in stimulating conversations with the pets or providing a calm and peaceful environment through yoga and meditation, I strive to create a positive and enriching experience for both the animals and the home. Being a sunrise person, I love starting my day bright and early, ready to tackle any tasks that come my way. This allows me to provide the utmost care and attention to the pets and house, ensuring that everything runs smoothly during the owners' absence. Outside of my pet and house sitting duties, I have a passion for baking, hiking, traveling, and freelance work. These interests keep me inspired and motivated, and I'm always eager to share my experiences and tips with others. If you're in need of a reliable, responsible, and compassionate pet and house sitter companion, I would be honored to be of service. Rest assured that I will treat your pets and home with the utmost care and respect, providing them with the love and attention they deserve. Kindly reach out to me to discuss your needs. I'm currently available to house/pet sit, and dog walking most days. We are flexible with time & days! Reach out to discuss any details for my services offered. I follow the routine of your home. My love and care for the pets is to always welcome them and watch them joyfully interact and be fully engaged in their world :)

This summer, I am taking online classes from home and do not have a full-time job. This gives me a completely open, highly flexible schedule. I will be spending the vast majority of my day directly at your home, meaning your pets will have constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention. Safety and respect are my top priorities. I treat your home with the utmost care, keeping everything clean, secure, and locked. I also send daily photo and text updates so you always know your pets are safe, happy, and thriving.
About: I am a pet lover, owner, and love all animals. I am passionate about their care, and treat them as my own. I have a tuxedo cat, and live with a yellow lab. I have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, pet rats, assertive roosters, chickens, and even the basics for horses. Big dogs don’t scare me! I am confident about delivering medication needed for your pet, and will take the best care of your pets. I lead with responsibility, and details are important to me. I monitor and watch for issues with your pets. I am generally avoidant of other dogs, just because of the unknowns of how they may interact. I will collect mail, water plants, gather packages, scoop poop and take out trash as needed. I always try to leave someone’s home as if I were never there. I am currently working from home remotely. I have flexibility in my schedule for early morning, lunch time, and afternoon visits/walks. For overnights/sleepovers and staying at your house I require a reliable internet connection (working remotely). I also have safety lights/reflective items if we are walking in the dark. I treat pets as my own, giving pets, loving, and brushing. If allowed I invite them to sleep with me and sit on the couch with me. I take thorough instructions on walks, safety, feedings, medications, schedules, and follow them. It’s important to me the health and wellbeing of the pets I’m with. I will also send pics, videos, and updates throughout my visit. I believe in lots of fresh water, watch the heat and weather for your pets. I am cautious when walking and give a lot of space between other walkers and dogs. I like to be informed of any reactive behaviors, or things to watch out for.

“From our first communication and through Stevie’s entire stay with Juan and Athena, we had the most wonderful experience and know that our dog did too. We met for a meet and greet, and our dog warmed up very quickly to Juan and his beautiful girl. He’s friendly, very communicative, and we are certain our girl got plenty of attention while we were away. Even when our trip got extended and our return home was delayed by traffic, Juan graciously kept Stevie for a couple more days. We appreciate him so much and absolutely recommend him to others! Your baby will be very well cared for with Juan! You will receive great communication and lots of pictures of your pet! Thank you, Juan! - Teague and Marisa”

“Luca absolutely loves Desmond and Robyn! We’ve used them a handful of times and Luca comes back so exhausted from all of the playing. The updates are amazing and communication incredible. We’ll continue bringing Luca back thank you!!”
“If I could give 10 stars I’d do it in a heartbeat. Absolutely the best sitters I could have asked for. They took Kodak on adventures around Austin, to the park, on many walks a day, showed him so much love, and updated with photos the entire time. I was never worried for a single second that Kodak was not in the best of hands. I am so excited to have Kodak stay with them again on my next trip, and will be recommending to anyone looking for someone to watch their pups. Y’all are the absolute best!!”
“Autumn and her partner are fantastic doggie lovers! Our dogs have never been with anyone other than family and they were so comfortable and happy in this home. They got along swimmingly well with resident dogs Sarge and Spud. We received daily updates with fun photos. We really felt like our sweeties were cared for and had a much better experience staying here than at a kennel or having someone check on them occasionally at our home. Thank you for caring for our babies <3. We will definitely hire you again when the need arises :-)”
