“Very convenient and has a great set up to take care of your dog! Our dog Marley had so much fun and was in great spirits when we picked him up. Highly recommend!!!”
“Ollie had a great experience with Julie and Michael. Communication was great and they truly showed care and comfort for my pup. He can’t wait to return. Thank you!”
“Popcorn had another great stay with Lucia. He ate just as usual, which means he was happy away from home. Her home will always be our first choice when needing to leave him behind!”
“Molly was exceptionally well cared for by Leilani, with plenty of play time with her dogs. Great communication and she shared lots of photos while we were off in Colorado. A big Thumbs Up.”
“Excellent care, attentive and responsive with an incredible space for puppies!! Ours was a bit of work but Patrick was great with communication and care for our six month old pup! Not to mention his home is better than any B&B you'll find in Austin! I think our doggie had a better vacation than we did which is just the way you want it!! Thank you Patrick and family!!!”
“Malu and her family were amazing for our little Frank while we were on family vacation. I think he wishes he could stay there now he was so well treated. We got pictures of him having a ball, snuggling and going on walks or playing every day. He doesn't love other dogs but even made friends with Malu's sweet lab. We're so grateful!”
“Maegan and her daughter were fabulous! I was worried my dog might be a lot to handle. Maegan assured me she was familiar with the breed I have. Updates and pictures were sent. I could see my dog was attaching herself to Maegan’s daughter. And I knew she was getting a lot of attention. It was great!”
“Sherron was amazing!From the start,she was super communicative and made sure she understood all our pet’s routines and preferences. Throughout the time we were away, she sent plenty of photos and updates that made us feel so connected and reassured. I also loved how she didn’t hesitate to ask if she was unsure about something ,that level of care really stood out. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thank you Sherron”
“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!”
“Great communication. She took care of our dogs like they were her own. She definitely has a gift for caretaking. This was my 2nd time using her services and I will book again”
“I was very nervous about leaving my dog in someone’s else’s house, but Holly was very kind and understanding throughout this process. She sent me pictures throughout the night and made sure to update me about Atlas. He had a lot of fun with the other doggies and looks so happy in the pics. 100% recommend!!!”
“Nia has been amazing! She’s very communicative and responsive. We scheduled a meet and greet before our trip, and since she has a dog as well, we were able to make sure the dogs got along and they did great together. She also has a large dog park right outside her home, which is perfect for an active dog. We’ll definitely consider booking with her again for our next trip.”
“Chuck was very accommodating, flexible and a great sitter for my Lab. He communicated well, provided frequent photos and updates, and gave insightful recommendations and feedback. I would highly recommend his services.”
“Sofía and her family took amazing care of Molkas! Great communication, attentive, and very loving. He was in such good hands. Without a doubt, I will leave Molkas with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog had a health flair up right before her vacation at Kristina’s and Kristina took such great care of her while we were gone. We could see how happy our dog was when Kristina sent us daily updates. We are so happy to have found Kristina. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Maura and Shawn were awesome with our senior dog, providing plenty of pictures and cute little updates about her throughout the day. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring dog sitters, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to them again if we travel out of state.”
“Very caring, attentive and responsive. Lisa and family looked after my 5 month old furball while I was home for the holidays and I have nothing but good things to say! They had an open yard for him to play, took him on regular walks, gave consistent updates and was responsive when I reached out. I’ll definitely be using Rover/Lisa again! (Thank You Lisa!)”

Cat caregivers near you - Briarcliff
“Jessica was wonderful! Our two cats quickly warmed up to her and she cared for them exactly as I requested. The house was left in perfect condition and we came home to happy pets!”
“This is Erica’s second time taking care of our cat while we were out of town and I would very highly recommend her! She’s clearly loves animals so much! Our girl was so happy to see her each day and she took such great care of her for us.”
“Lucy was fantastic with the cats and did everything above and beyond! I had peace of mind while on a long trip that everyone was taken care of! She was perfect with communication and extremely reliable.”
“Jenny is absolutely amazing! I hired her to take care of my cats and she did the best job, sending pics of them and their clean litter boxes and food and water bowls. We also have a dog that a neighbor boy was caring for but Jenny let him out into the yard while she tended to the cats and gave him some love before she left. I’m super happy with the care she provided!”
“Willow was the pet sitting find a of a century, I’m so grateful I found her! She cared for my two kitties for two weeks, one of which has acute nasal lymphoma and had a lot of special needs and to do items. Willow pilled my cat daily, cleaned her nose and eyes (not an easy task) twice a day and made sure to keep a log of her progress for me and my vet. She went above and beyond for my babies (even vaccumed up dust and Litter) and by the end of it, they were so in love with her which speaks to her level of care, attention and passion. On top of this, willow is attentive, follows instructions well while being proactive and is highly communicative. I will 1000% be rebooking and I know my cats are excited to see her again.”
“We've hired Ken for house sitting our cat. He was very responsive and communicated everything with us. Since we were out of the country during this horrific heat wave, he was kind enough to water our yards for us. Ken sent us pictures and videos of our pet daily. I highly recommend Ken's services.”
About: Whether your furry friend is a standoffish cat, a hyper dog, or an opera-singing bird, I am the capable caretaker you can trust to suit their needs and make them feel safe + loved! My schedule as a pet sitter is open to any client! On a trip to see family? Only gone for an hour or two? No problem! I can come over day or night. Whatever your animal needs, I can provide! I do not currently board at my own home, but am available to sit/walk your pet in your area.
“Courtney took my request last minute when our prior dog sitting plan fell through. She was extremely responsive and made me feel comfortable that my two dogs would be well taken care of. I loved getting the updates and photos from each visit and being able to communicate between visits. My dogs were clearly comfortable with her, and were able to play, cuddle, and be themselves while I was gone. It gave me great peace of mind of my travels to know they were so well cared for.”
“Pam was amazing! She kept up with all of my senior cat’s medications and gave him all the attention he craved. She took such good care of him that I could focus on my daughter’s wedding, knowing I didn’t have to worry about him. It was such a comfort knowing he was in good hands!”
“Lilyanna was amazing! Even though both of us had hectic weeks going into my time away from home she was communicative and she sent so many pictures of my girls. When I got home they were happy and relaxed and I could tell they had been well cared for. Thanks Lilyanna!”
“Could not have been happier with Meredith! So kind and professional – the pictures and notes were wonderful. Our cat was obviously well loved and taken care of when we got back. Thank you!”
“Courtney was wonderful! She communicated clearly and consistently, providing thoughtful updates and adorable photos of the cats. I really appreciated her flexibility and how she kindly went above and beyond—even watering a plant for me. I’m so grateful for her care!”
“Deonna was a blessing to have sitting both of our cats! She was very thorough following my care instructions and bonded with one of my more shy and timid felines pet 🐈. I loved the daily reviews from the visits and pics as well kept me from any worries. I would definitely have her care for my cat's again!”
About: I aim for personalized, low-volume care with an emphasis on giving each dog the attention, activity, and routine they’re used to. For daycare, I intentionally accept only 2 guest dogs at a time. This provides a calmer alternative to high-volume daycare while still giving dogs plenty of opportunity to play, explore, and socialize. For drop-in visits, I care for your pets in the comfort of their own home and tailor each visit to their normal routine. Whether they need a potty break, feeding, medication, playtime, attention, or simply some company, I’m happy to adjust the visit to what works best for them. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, including high-energy and strong-willed breeds Dogs have always been family to me. I’ve had my own for 8+ years, have long been the trusted sitter for friends and family, foster and volunteer with shelter dogs. I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for both daycare and drop-in visits. When dogs are in my care, I prioritize my schedule around their needs rather than trying to fit every dog into the same routine. For daycare: We live on 2+ fully fenced private acres in Spicewood with a 5-ft fence. Dogs have plenty of secure space to sniff, explore, play, and get their energy out. This is natural Central Texas acreage rather than a paved commercial play yard, so outdoor activity is always adjusted for weather, temperature, terrain, and the individual dog. My two resident dogs are well-socialized and enjoy playing when invited but also respect another dog’s space. Guest interactions are supervised, and dogs are never forced to play. For drop-ins: Drop-in visits can be as active or relaxed as your dog needs. For high-energy dogs, I’m happy to spend the visit focused on movement, play, enrichment, and helping them burn off some energy rather than simply providing a quick potty break. For lower-energy pets, I can keep things relaxed with feeding, potty breaks, medication, attention, and companionship. I follow your instructions and household routine closely so your pets can remain comfortable in their own environment.

“If you're scrolling & not sure who to choose...look no further. Leilani is the only pet sitter you need. An exceptional sitter who goes above and beyond. Her love for animals was obvious from the moment I contacted her. She treated my pet with so much care, patience, and genuine affection. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. I received thoughtful updates, and my pet was calm, comfortable, and well‑cared‑for when I picked her up. A true professional with a big heart. Mario”

About: I host dogs for several neighbors and friends regularly. I have had several dogs over the years, but lost my older golden retriever 3 years ago. I work from home and spend most of my time in the kitchen and outdoor space. I like to go on walks and hike on neighborhood trails. I have a large fenced yard for playing. Pets sit with me and follow me around the house to my work desk or my kitchen when I cook. They are my snuggly family member while in my home, since my teens don’t want it :)
About: I grew up on a farm and have been an animal lover my whole life. My parents called me the dog whisperer growing up because I was the only one our dogs would listen to. We had cats also, as well as horses, cows, pigs, even a donkey. I look forward to being your fill in parent to your fur baby when you are away! I work from home and will be with your fur baby most of the day for in home pet sitting. With to my work from home schedule, I have flexibility to fill your individual needs. I have a large fenced yard for your pups to frolic if you want pet sitting at my home. If at your home, I will meticulously follow your instructions for your pet's care.
About: IttyBittyPups under 15lbs will have fun and be safe with me! I have only two spots for IttyBittyPups at a time, so you can feel safe knowing your babies are given plenty of one-on-one attention. No young children in the house, no cats, no larger dogs; just my two tiny Yorkies for your baby to play with! Doggie door stays open all day (weather permitting) and they have a full, securely fenced back yard to play in! I monitor them closely to make sure don’t get overheated, which small dogs are more apt to do. I’m glad to help continue any potty training that you are currently doing for your IttyBittyPup…Come play! I am happy to schedule a one-hour free playdate here for your reassurance; you can stay and watch the pups play while we have coffee ☕️🙂 I am home all day, so your IttyBittyPup will never, ever be left alone (except in case of some sort of emergency, and in that case, I have emergency backup people in-house, secure crates, and I will contact you immediately!) In case of any emergency requiring evacuation, I will protect your baby like my own family! I am all about dogs, so they will get plenty of playtime and cuddles from me and my two tiny Yorkies 💕💕 They will also be allowed on the furniture, which is fully protected with waterproof / washable covers. IttyBittyPups arriving before 8am will get a group leash morning walk. IttyBittyPups staying overnight will get a second group leash walk around 7pm or later, to avoid the heat. I have a doggie door that stays open all day, weather permitting, and a securely fenced in back yard with netting above to protect IttyBittyPups from birds of prey! My two tiny Yorkies LOVE to run and play and wrestle raucously, but gently, with other small dogs. The largest total number of IttyBittyPups here at any given time will be four dogs. So you can be sure your little dog gets the cuddles and attention they deserve!

About: Hi I’m Jacey, 26YO, Female. Animal lover since childhood here! I’ve had a variety of animals growing up on a ranch & living out in the country, so no pet is too quirky for me. I know each one has their own personality (and favorite snack), and I’m great at adjusting to their needs. From walks to meds to playtime, I will make sure your fur children are taken care of and more! 🤍 I do pick up and drop off animals for a round trip fee of $20 Fun Facts about me : I spend some free time volunteering at Austin Pets Alive ! I have experience in basic obedience training w/ puppies. I am also knowledgeable on equine. 🐎 I currently care for animals full time ! I’m available any time and take requests. My response time is anywhere from 5minutes - 1 hour. I am very flexible with times ! I live in a 2,100 square foot house, with a fenced in back yard. I have extra kennels & baby gates for keeping animals in the down stairs areas supervised with me during the day. If at any time i am not home all animals must be kenneled. Lots of enrichment toys like lick mats , freeze bones for meal times, and nuzzle mats. I have two dogs (golden retrievers) UTD on all shots and fixed. They have been around all kinds of dogs and cats. I’ve done boarding before with them and they even visit 5 other golden at their grandparents house. They love company and sharing their people and toys and playing fetch in the back yard. I do have two cats but they stay in a separate room when I have other boardings
About: I work from home, so I'm home all day with our mini Labradoodle—and I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog as well! I walk Luke twice during the work day and have a fenced yard where your pet can play safely. I look forward to the chance to meet your pup! I work from home during the week, which gives me the flexibility to take your pet on regular walks and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a nearby dog park in our neighborhood, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and socialization. I know how important it is to keep them active, happy, and engaged.
About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, I am comfortable handling animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Throughout my life, I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, livestock, small animals and more. This diverse experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique needs and behaviors. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely strolls, playtime, or simply some extra companionship during the day, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual personality. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same compassion, respect, and attention I give my own. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 I am an entrepreneur and home schooling mama. I spend most of my time outdoors on my quiet, humble 10 acre property, with all my animals. I mostly work from home and sometimes in and out of the house for work calls. I have a beautiful, large fenced in deck that overlooks our property canyon. Additionally, I have a chain link dog run right off the deck. I regularly exercise my pups around the property as well. My personal dogs (3 Dachshunds and a Golden Retriever) spend most of the day outside playing on the deck and sun bathing. They have access to clean water at all times. I generally crate the smaller dogs at night. My cat prefers my daughter’s bedroom, so he’s rarely seen. I am happy to accommodate whatever needs and requests you have for your pet.
About: I'm very loving w/ dogs, and provide them lots of attention and care. I love going for runs, and cuddling with the dogs, I am very organized and will be sure to never miss a feeding, or walk. I will treat your dog as if it was mine. I do have a dog of my own, she is a coton de tulear and is 18 pounds. We love her. I will treat your fur baby like royalty. We have a large fenced yard also! Lots of room to run free!!! I currently work from home. My job is very flexible and allows me to take frequent breaks if needed. Whenever your dog needs me , I'm available . I like to go for walks or to the dog park. Dogs are allowed on our couch! I will have a separate food and water area and bed for your fur baby .
About: I’ve cared for dogs for more than 35 years, but my experience goes well beyond owning pets. For two years, I was one of the general managers of Care for Dogs, a large rescue organization in Chiang Mai, Thailand, caring for roughly 200 dogs with a team of about 20 employees, volunteers and visiting veterinarians. My role covered nearly every part of rescue operations: daily care, medications, veterinary appointments, fostering, adoption placement, behavioral evaluation, rehabilitation and end-of-life care. I personally fostered approximately 30–40 dogs and helped place more dogs into permanent homes than I can count. I also coordinated the international relocation of roughly 20 rescue dogs from Thailand to adoptive homes around the world, handling veterinary requirements, health documentation, vaccinations, airline logistics, crates, travel arrangements and adopter coordination. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need more attention than the average pet sitter may be accustomed to. I have extensive hands-on experience with senior dogs, anxious and fearful dogs, rescue dogs, dogs recovering from surgery and dogs with ongoing medical needs. My experience includes administering oral and topical medications, injections and subcutaneous fluids; assisting veterinarians during procedures; wound and post-operative care; mobility assistance; cones, bandages and stitches; overnight monitoring; hospice and end-of-life care; and recognizing behavioral or physical changes that may require veterinary attention. I’m also very experienced reading canine body language and working patiently with frightened, undersocialized, reactive or previously abused dogs. Building trust with a nervous dog is something I genuinely enjoy and am very good at. I am not a veterinarian or veterinary technician, and I never pretend to be one. I follow veterinary and owner instructions carefully and know when something is outside my role and requires professional medical attention. For owners of senior, special-needs or medically complicated dogs, I’m happy to provide detailed updates including medications, meals, bathroom activity, behavior, photos and changes I observe. I offer boarding, house sitting, daycare, drop-in visits and walks. I have reliable transportation and can assist with emergency veterinary transportation when authorized. I do not accept dogs with aggression toward people, dogs, or cats, or dogs that are not house-trained. Dogs have been a major part of my life for decades. I understand their behavior, their health and, most importantly, how different every dog can be. My goal is simple: when your dog is with me, you should feel confident that someone experienced, observant and genuinely invested in their wellbeing is looking after them. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so dogs in my care get plenty of attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. My partner also works from home, which means there is usually someone here, and dogs are generally never left alone for more than three hours. For dogs who need closer supervision because of age, medical needs, anxiety, recovery from surgery or other special circumstances, I can also arrange 24/7 monitoring for an additional fee. We live in a quiet lake community on Lake Austin, so our days can include neighborhood walks, Lakeway trails, Lakeway Park and plenty of relaxed time at home. For dogs who genuinely enjoy the water, and only with your approval, I can also offer swimming, lake outings or even a boat ride. I’m happy to customize your dog’s routine around what makes them comfortable, including feeding schedules, medications, frequent potty breaks, slower walks, mobility needs and extra one-on-one attention for shy, sensitive or senior dogs. My two dogs are Enzo, a mellow 10-year-old neutered Golden Retriever, and Bella, a sweet 2-year-old spayed Great Pyrenees mix. Both are gentle and friendly with other animals, and their calm personalities often help visiting dogs settle in. I also have a dog-friendly vehicle set up with ramps, beds and plenty of room for comfortable transportation. Basic grooming such as brushing and simple cleanups can also be provided when needed. Safety, Trust & Environment I live in a single-story home in a quiet Lake Austin community with a grassy, fully fenced yard. The one-story layout is especially helpful for senior dogs, large breeds and dogs with mobility limitations who may have difficulty navigating stairs. My home is shared with Enzo, my 10-year-old neutered Golden Retriever, and Bella, my 2-year-old spayed Great Pyrenees mix. Both are mellow, social dogs who are comfortable around other animals and tend to create a relaxed atmosphere for visiting dogs. I take introductions seriously and give every new dog time and space to adjust. I pay close attention to body language, stress signals, eating, drinking, bathroom habits, mobility and changes in behavior. With my rescue background, I’m particularly comfortable with dogs who are shy, anxious, older, recovering from medical procedures or simply need a little more patience. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and can maintain specific feeding, medication, exercise and recovery routines. I’m also comfortable providing detailed updates about meals, medications, bathroom activity, behavior and anything unusual I notice. Dogs are never pushed into activities they do not enjoy. Walks, swimming, lake outings, interactions with other dogs and other activities are always based on the individual dog’s temperament, health, abilities and your instructions. My goal is to make my home feel less like boarding and more like staying with experienced family.

Rosie seems to feel right at home when staying with Stephanie and I've already booked multiple future stays with her. Choose Stephanie, she's the best!”
About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and genuine attention I give every pet.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages and care needs. I’ve helped family, friends, neighbors and private clients with walks, drop-ins, sitting and bathing.

We love being active, exercise, and being outdoors, so if your dog likes to run a bit, or play fetch for an hour, I've got you covered! I love big dogs and small dogs alike but have a soft spot for the big big dogs. 🐶 I am currently self employed and my kids enjoy being homeschooled for the time being. I have the flexibility to structure my days however works best for us and your doggo! We love having furry visitors at our place. We have comfy dog beds, space to play outside in the courtyard and lots of time for cuddles!

About: Ive head pets my whole life and I am also a mom so I have a lot of patience dealing with teaching and watching over others. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can watch pets at any time. With time and organization I can watch your pets when needed. I prefer for the pets to be in the owners home and I can take care of them. If needed can also provide a safe space in my own home
About: I grew up with several dogs and cats in the family home. I have raised and trained a Doberman, so I know what it takes to teach them obedience and the importance of consistency. I love animals so much, they bring me so much joy. Fun fact: when I was a little girl I wanted to be a veterinarian. I feel that I have a special connection with animals; they are usually naturally drawn to me. I didn’t pursue a career as a veterinarian because I had other interests. I currently don’t have any animals because I enjoy the flexibility. I would love to take care of your animals and treat them with extra special care. I am currently working part time and would have the time to care for your pet(s) after work or on my days off. I currently work a 2-3 days a week and am available by the afternoons on the days I am working. I typically pet sit in the owners home. I find that is more comfortable for them. I am not currently able to have pets where I live.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and I also learned how to care for them at a young age. I’m very patient with animals and I also learned how to train my own dogs. In the beginning, it was harder to potty train them but I learned a lot of patience with them. It’s important to give animals your attention especially when they’re learning to do something new. I am looking for other part time jobs but at this moment my main focus is with Rover. I’m available almost any day and time you might need me. I’m currently renting at a home and there is no fence but I can definitely take the fur babies out for walks frequently. It’s no problem having them inside and I’m very respectful when going to other people’s homes as well.
