Churro is still a puppy and potty training, and they were so understanding and even helped continue working with her. She had the best time playing with Kona and the other small dogs.

About: Compassionate, caring, observant and detail oriented. I love the energy and excitment dogs bring to daily life. A strong sense of responsibility and take charge as a situation arises. Im retired, an early riser who walks multiple times a day to stay healthy and fit, I enjoy gardening in the backyard where doggies can enjoy themselves. Safe family in my home, the garden area which is fenced in and gated is where I enjoy playing with the doggies and will follow the owners instructions.

“James is an excellent, top notch cat sitter ? I booked him semi last minute, not only was James super helpful but considerate. When I was feeling home sick, he sent me extra pics so I could feel better. His attention to detail and calm demeanor was inviting to my cats and they warmed up to him pretty quick. Could not be more happy with his service. I would recommend James.”

With Roxanne, we were able to go on our trip knowing he would be well taken care of.

About: *10 minutes from Austin Bergstrom Airport* Hi there! I’m Stevie, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My partner Brandon and I make a great team and we love opening our home to pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. Your pup will stay in a clean, cozy environment where routines are followed, needs are met, and cuddles are always available. We treat every dog like our own (which means spoiled in the best way). You’ll receive regular photo/video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. Whether your pet needs special accommodations, extra attention, or just a comfortable place to nap, we’re here to make sure their stay is pleasant. When your dog stays with us, they become part of our little family. Thank you for taking the time to read our profile and we’d love to meet your fur baby soon! Brandon and I both work from home, so your pup will always have someone around for company, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love. We already have two dogs of our own, so caring for additional pups fits naturally into our daily routine. Our clean home and fully fenced backyard make it easy to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In our home, Brandon and I maintain a clean, supervised, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can relax and feel secure. We follow your care instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special needs are always taken seriously. Unlike a noisy boarding facility, your dog will enjoy a calm home setting with regular potty breaks, personalized attention, and a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. We treat every dog like part of our family and make sure they always feel seen, valued, and cared for. Please feel free to schedule a meet and greet!

Ill walk the dogs in the morning and after and make sure they get plenty of play time in before the sun goes down
“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”
“I am writing this after the first week of daycare for my young lab and could not be more pleased with the care and attention she is receiving. Lola has “endless energy” and came home exhausted every day! Ashley has provided great communication throughout and I would recommend highly.”
“Yesenia is such an incredible sitter! We have been sending our pup to her for a little over a year and each time my pup is even more excited to go. She is such a great care taker and was super flexible with us for day care scheduling when our work schedules shifted. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person for their furry friend!”

About: I consider myself a dog lover since I was a kid! I grew up with two dogs and have been dogsitting for three years now. My wife and I have a lovely, very friendly Chihuahua, his name is Domingo and he’s 1 year old. We recently moved from Downtown Austin where we used to dog sit for our neighbors and people in our building - from puppies to senior dogs (small-medium size only). Looking to meet more dogs in the area to take care of! I'm currently searching for a job and decided to join Rover as a dogsitter in the meantime. As result, my schedule is extremely flexible throughout the whole week. If you need someone to take care of your doggo, please reach out and I'll be there. My wife and I live in a lovely-cozy three bedroom house in Easton Park (Southeast Austin area). We generally care for small and medium size dogs since we can accommodate those more easily in our space. We live close to multiple parks and walking trails for ideal dog walking adventures and sniffaris :)
“Gabriela is an amazing sitter and I highly recommend. She takes such great care of my pup while I’m away at work. She’s extremely accommodating and communicates very well. 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!”
“My Aussie had his first daycare visit with Ryan. It went very well. Misha felt very comfortable with Ryan and had 2 long walks and came home tired and happy! Thank you Ryan!!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors relied on me to let their dogs out while they were gone! I prioritize pet care and love to make sure the doggos get plenty of exercise and stay healthy! Give me the cat food recipe and I'll mix it. I leave everything as I found it when pet sitting in house and ensure that your fur babies have a safe and fun time! I send lots of cute pictures so that you can have plenty of cute updates to share with family, friends and coworkers.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up with American Bulldogs, so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds. I have a Boxer/Bulldog named Moose, a Calico kitty named Mango and an African cichlid (fish) named Baby. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of all sizes. Im available for drop-in play time visits and walks, I’ll send photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for! I’m a salon owner and cosmetologist, so my schedule allows me to focus on pet care Thursday through Saturday. I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings. Your pets safety, comfort and routine is my number one priority. I’m happy to come by for a meet and greet to get to know your pet and make sure everyone feels comfortable. I will respect your home, your fur baby and send photo updates!
About: 've had dogs in the house since I was 6, and today I share mine with Bucky, my bff rescue shepherd — self-trained from day one, with a rock-solid heel and off-leash recall to show for it. I offer dog walking, house-sitting, and check-in visits, and I'm happy to fold in whatever training habits you already have in place — reinforcing heel, working on walking etiquette, or just making sure your pup gets a solid outing (Onion Creek trails included, if that fits). If it's a good match, I'm also open to having your dog stay with me directly. I frequently look after friends' dogs myself, so this isn't new territory — just something I genuinely enjoy. My approach is all about consistency, confidence, and empathy; every dog's different, and a good relationship starts with meeting them on their terms. I work freelance from home, so I'm around, flexible, and rarely without my treat pouch. Would love to help with your dogs in any way I can. I work from home part-time, so my schedule is flexible and I’m home for most of the day — no long stretches where a dog would be left alone. I’m consistent with morning and evening walks, and add a midday walk when weather allows. Throughout the day, dogs get playtime and treats woven into the routine, not just tacked on at the end. I also have a car with a dog-proofed backseat, which makes vet runs, park trips, or pickups/drop-offs easy and low-stress. Every visit is built around the pet’s normal routine — feeding, walks, and playtime stay consistent with what they’re used to. I keep a close eye for safety indoors and out, secure gates/doors, and make sure water and food are always accessible. For transport, my car has a dog-proofed backseat. I check in regularly and adjust based on each pet’s comfort level and needs.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 9 years and care for my own dog Quavo daily — walks, feeding, play, the whole routine. I understand what it takes to keep a pup happy, stimulated, and on schedule. I treat every dog I care for the same way I’d want someone to treat mine. I work from home running my own business, so I’m available throughout the day. Pets get consistent attention, timely walks, and are never left alone for long stretches! 🐾🐶🐕 I treat every pet like my own. My home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly. For drop-ins and walks, I follow the owner’s routine closely — feeding schedules, leash preferences, commands — so pets feel comfortable and secure the whole time!
About: I had my first dog 16 years ago and when he passed, I literally dedicated my life to continuing his legacy. I quit a stable job and started a small business for dogs and their pawrents just to be able to surround myself with the little souls I love most! Throughout the years, I also rescued another dog, who I dogsat often and she lived a beautiful life with my family. I cared for countless friends’ dogs, as well, including my sister’s senior dog with multiple health issues. I am active physically and frequently run or walk around the neighborhood, so I figured I could add some company to my daily walks! Walking/running around my neighborhood is part of my daily routine as a small business owner, so I’d be happy to walk your pups as we can keep eachother company! I will always ask if there is anything I need to know about your pup before walking them. I take the necessary precautions before walking them and will inform you if I feel it may be too hot to walk your pup at the time requested. I will also ensure that there is enough space between dogs to help prevent stress or anxiety when interactions may occur. If they need a potty break, I make sure to pick up after them at no extra charge… because a clean neighborhood makes a great neighborhood :)
About: As a lifelong cat owner, I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from bottle babies and energetic kittens to senior cats over 15 years old. I’ve also cared for cats with special medical and behavioral needs, including diabetes and age-related cognitive challenges. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust at their pace. Whether your cat enjoys lots of playtime and attention or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of affection while maintaining their normal routine. My goal is to help your cat feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have time throughout the week to provide attentive care for your pets. My availability varies depending on classes and work, but I am available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for your pet, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while maintaining their regular routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and needs to help them feel secure while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving reliable and loving care.

About: Take a peek into my life! IG: belle_lambert I bring a unique blend of rural and urban pet care experience. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, cats, goats, and chickens—so caring for animals has always been second nature. That hands-on upbringing taught me responsibility, intuition, and how to understand animals' needs. For the past five years, I’ve raised my Australian Shepherd in an urban setting, giving me experience with high-energy breeds, leash training, and adapting routines to busy city life. Whether it’s senior pets, puppies, or animals with big personalities, I bring calm, capable, and compassionate care rooted in a lifetime of experience. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine. I start each morning with a walk or play session—it’s a great way to connect and set a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day, I build in time for feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins to ensure pets feel safe and cared for. On weekends or evenings, I prioritize longer walks, enrichment, and cuddles. Whether I’m balancing research or writing as a PhD student, I make sure pets in my care are always a top priority. Their routine becomes part of mine. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment—whether in my home or a client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred walking routes and play styles. I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious pets, using patience and positive reinforcement. Safety is always top of mind: I double-check leashes and gates, avoid off-leash situations unless in fully enclosed areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or discomfort. I also provide regular updates to give pet parents peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel at home, secure, and loved.
About: I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and some reptiles. I also have experience caring for plants, so all of your living babies will be safe with me! I’m well-rounded, patient, and will treat your babies as my own. I have shadowed at a vet clinic and interned at a 24 hour animal hospital. I also took veterinary classes in high school, and helped out in the grooming facility at the school. I’ve always had a pet at any given moment throughout my life. I even cared for 9 dogs at one time! I am available to house sit and care for your pets full-time! I’d like to keep visits and walks between 8am-7pm. Send me a message! :) A typical day includes making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I start with feeding according to their routine, fresh water, and a potty break or litter check. Throughout the day, I provide walks (if applicable), playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection always tailored to your pet’s energy level and personality. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and mood, and I follow any specific instructions you leave. I also make time for quiet rest so pets don’t feel overstimulated, and I’m happy to send updates or photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I reside in South East Austin. Currently only taking house sitting requests and drop ins. Looking to build a strong base of happy clients. My experience includes puppies, adult and senior dogs. I have experience with giving medication as well. I’m currently working part time so plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I am completely open on weekends and weekdays! I prefer to do house sitting or drop ins. I do not have a fenced yard so if boarding, I will need to walk your dog. I am right by a huge park so plenty of room to roam and sniff! I have a large livingroom so if crating is needed then no problem! I personally prefer against crating unless absolutely necessary. I like to treat them as if they are my own pet! Lot’s of cuddles and access to the couch and bed! *Currently not accepting boarding*
