Highly-rated overnight sitters - Henly
“Benny had a playful, wonderful weekend at Michael’s. He especially enjoyed hanging out with his dog Maisy who welcomed him with open paws. Michael made my weekend getaway stress free since he is so easy to coordinate with. I highly recommend his service and have already booked another weekend”
“Chuck is a superstar. We had a challenging stressful trip, but thinking about our pet Percy is one thing we’ve never had to worry about. He’s so kind and funny and he gave a ton of comfort. He took care of our pup like his own and we couldn’t ask for a better person. You rock Chuck.”
“Malu and her sweet family couldn’t be more perfect for our dog! She shared daily pictures and updates of all the love he was getting and I could see how adored he was. My dog and I are looking forward to the next time with Malu!”
“Julie and Michael were able to help us out on just a few hours notice and took excellent care of our dog. They sent updates and pictures everyday, and Nieve seemed like she really enjoyed her time there. We’ll definitely be rebooking soon!”
“Lillyann took the very best care of our most precious fur babies! She was very responsive, sent frequent updates, the furries were relaxed and comfortable at home. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Charlie had the BEST weekend stay with Lacey and her fam while we were away getting married! Charlie was welcomed in as part of Lacey’s family and we couldn’t be more grateful that our girl was taken care of so well. We got so many updates throughout the weekend and Charlie got so much activity — 10/10 would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!”
“Paula & Chad took wonderful care of my dog! He has an underlying health condition that requires extra attention, and they handled everything with such care and professionalism. I felt completely confident that they were able to manage his medications and stay attentive to his needs while he was with them. He came home happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired—which is always a great sign that he got plenty of playtime, attention, and TLC. I’m so grateful for the thoughtful care they gave him and would absolutely trust them to watch him again!”
“Erica is very professional. We appreciated the daily updates and photos. We were so happy to see our sweet girl comfortable and being allowed to treat the home like her own. Erica took wonderful care of our Cake!”
“Angie took great care of our Goldendoodle. She was great at communicating and sending us pictures. Our dog felt right at home. Happy to have found someone who can take such good care of our dog!”
“Savannah and Gabriel have been fantastic caregivers for Gus! Their communication is quick and consistent, and the photos they send each day show what a great job they're doing at keeping the pups in their care very happy. I'm grateful for the peace of mind I had while traveling, since I knew my dog was in such fantastic hands.”
“Paco has stayed with Gail a few times. He now recognizes where he is when we pull up to her house - his tail starts wagging and he is ready to go see her. We get daily updates and photos from Gail, and Paco literally looks like he is smiling in the photos. I am so glad we can leave him with Gail (and Gwen!) when we have to travel without him. I know Paco is in good hands!”
About: I have been a dog foster for eight years in the Dallas area with Take Me Home Pet Rescue. I fostered at least a dozen dogs, but seven in particular needed special attention to make them ready to be great pets. I spent time on socialization, behavior, obedience and at least four of them got their basic Canine Good Citizen certification. Fostering gave me the opportunity to learn about various breeds, behaviors and work with dog behaviorists, dog day cares and behavior vets. I have owned four rescue dogs and taken them through the Canine Good Citizen program.:two of them through the third level. My tripawd dog, Rango, has done Rally at the novice level. And Lumi, my most recent rescue from PAWS, is also CGC Certified and ready to do some therapy work once she gets over her car-sickness. I have learned so much from my fostering experiences and working with various dogs. All the training is very positive and relationship-based. I am not trainer, but happy to work with your trainer. After moving to Dripping Springs, I have kept some friends and neighbors dogs and now adding some dog sitting into my substitute teaching schedule. Your dog will stay with Lumi (three year old Lab mix) and Rango (an eleven year old border collie and Aussie mix). We have a nice fenced, shaded and good sized back yard with birds and squirrels. We walk in our park and native woods behind our house almost every morning after breakfast. Our one-story home has mostly all linoleum plank vinyl flooring. I feed the dogs apart twice a day and there is no food aggression. They take treats together and they have become bonded. Our neighborhood is quiet and a nice mix of all ages with homes and quarter acre yards. I am an artist who works from home and I substitute teach art and early elementary at our ISD. My schedule will show booked substituting and dog sitting. I will stay home on days I know I'm keeping your dog. Your dog will get a walk, play with my pups and get some TLC. Because I teach, I also have security and background clearance with the school district. Your dog should be good with other dogs, house trained, spayed/neutered and a natural initial level of separation anxiety that will wane. Because of my fostering experience with dog transitions, I ask first-time pups and parents to come see us, our house and yard to make sure it's a good match for everyone. When a dog comes and goes with their owners, they are far more secure coming a second time and being left. I want a successful visit for everyone and look forward to repeat visits. I will treat your dog with care, love and safety. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. I substitute teach and on days I'm not teaching or know I'm boarding, I'll stay home. I may run a quick errand, especially if you have a multi-day stay, but I will be home maybe doing my art, maybe working in the back yard with the dogs in the back roaming around while I work. I have a fenced back yard that is shady and secure. I can crate your dog as needed. I have two dogs who are friendly and playful, but submissive and give their guests space. I will feed all dogs in separate areas. If I go run a quick errand, I will make sure the dogs go outside and I'll check in with you beforehand about crating or separating. I will walk each dog separately once during the day, usually in the morning. If your dog has a bed, feel free to bring it and if well potty trained, it can bunk in the bedroom with us so it is part of the pack. Some dogs want to sleep in the bed and really depends on how the dogs get along, especially the first night or two as it does take natural adjustment time.
“We would absolutely recommend Marie and her family! This is the 2nd time our girl Izzy has stayed with them and we always feel so comfortable that she’s having a great time and getting the love she deserves”
“Nancy and Ralph do a wonderful job sitting our pups when we go out of town. It’s so reassuring to know they’re in good hands and having a great time! I always enjoy the update notes and photos they send.”
“Five stars doesnt even seem like enough. Lisa and her family took wonderful care of our baby. They provided frequent updates and checked in whenever there were questions. Undoubtedly we would take our baby there again ☆☆☆☆☆”
About: I have had Labradors all my Life. I just recently lost my soul dog, I am not ready to get a new pet of my own, but I would love to open my heart to love on some new furry friends. I am a recently retired school teacher, and I work part time from home. We have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool where your baby can play, swim if they want, and will be greatly loved and cared for. I do not have any other pets in the home and will only sit with one dog at a time. I am happy to leash walk your dog daily, if that is something they would enjoy. As a retiree, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I do not have any other pets at home, and I prefer to only keep one at a time so I can give your baby the one on one special attention and love they deserve. I prefer dogs to sleep on their own beds, and or their own crate at night. No puppies or chewers please.
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog! Maura & Shawn went above and beyond. It was so comforting to receive the pictures and updates from them that showed our dog was in loving hands while we were away. We could tell they were treating her like their own. They took her on exciting trail walks, gave her plenty of snuggles, and even prepared fun treat puzzles to keep her entertained. We highly recommend Maura & Shawn to anyone looking for loving pet sitters—our pup can’t wait to stay with them again!”
“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!!”
“Great sitter! I will definately use her again. Very flexible, quick to respond, house was clean and she sent lots of pictures. Thanks Emma and family for loving on my Sassy Pants.”

“Bella is so sweet and attentive with our fur babies! She treats animals with love and respect and is a great communicator so I always know how things are going. So blessed to have found her!”
“Carrie was amazing! Very quick communication, always on time. Super sweet to our 3 kitties and had no problem giving our diabetic kitty his oral medication. Would highly recommend Carrie to anyone and will be definitely booking her again in the future! :)”
“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!”
“Adrianna did a wonderful job taking care of our kitty. She had no problem with Mia's fairly complicated raw diet instructions, which included renal tablets and drops. She kept Mia's water topped off, scooped the kitty pan and fed the wild birds outside. She adhered to the schedule we asked for and sent photo updates. It was our first time booking with Adrianna, and it was a great experiance. Highly recommend!”
About: I got two lovely little kittens when I was just 8 years old and gained full responsibility of one of them at 10. This included cleaning her litter box regularly, feeding and watering her, and making sure she got lots of love! The picture shown is with my current baby Chief who I adore (so much that I included him in my senior photos!), I love teaching him tricks and taking so many pictures of him he's the cutest! My baby has had tummy issues in the past which I pushed to get him to the vet, my little skinny baby was eating everything in his sight then throwing it up! I was determined to get him healthy and so I did just that. I will let you know if I find anything appearing wrong with your cat when I take care of them! It is my duty to keep all the babies of the world happy and healthy 🥰
About: I’m the most thorough cat litter box cleaner you’ll ever meet! I have experience administering medication. I would not have any other pets in the home while hosting your cat.
About: Pets have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and I quickly became the go to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family! Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, going for long walks on the trail, playing at the dog park, or making sure they get the care they need while their owners are away, I truly love spending time with animals. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet and it’s my promise to treat yours like they’re my own. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule on the weekends to save for my graduate studies so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I provide fresh food and water, daily walks, playtime and PLENTY of scratches, cuddles, and attention! I would follow any special instructions, including giving medication if needed. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, reinforcing training, or giving belly rubs, I make sure each pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. My goal is to keep pets happy and stress free in their familiar environment.
About: I’ve grown up around cats and currently live with four of my own, so caring for them has always been a big part of my everyday life! Over the years, I’ve been a caregiver for cats of all ages and backgrounds, and I’ve gained a lot of experience working with different personalities and needs. Some of the cats I’ve cared for have had medical conditions, disabilities, anxiety, or behavioral challenges, and I’m very comfortable adjusting my approach depending on the cat. I have experience giving both oral and injectable medications, basic behavioral training, and I’m familiar with routines that include ongoing health monitoring, and more involved care when needed. On a daily basis, I handle everything from feeding schedules and litter box care to helping cats feel comfortable, safe, and understood in their environment. I’m used to cats who are independent, shy, reactive, or very affectionate, and I take the time to let each one adjust at their own pace. My goal is always to meet cats where they are, whether that means giving them space, building trust slowly, or just making sure their routine stays consistent while you’re away. I also provide updates so you can feel confident about how they’re doing while in my care. Most of all, I aim to provide a calm and positive experience for both you and your cat, and enjoy helping out in any way that I can! [P.S. If your cat enjoys walking, I can also take those bookings through my Dog Walking services]
About: I've dedicated years to providing reliable and attentive care for cats of all temperaments. My experience includes overseeing feeding schedules, meticulously cleaning litter boxes, engaging in playtime, and providing the quiet companionship many cats enjoy. I understand that cats thrive on routine and comfort, and I am committed to maintaining their familiar environment, offering consistent updates, and ensuring their well-being is my top priority while you're away.
“Sherri was absolutely fantastic! Our Poppy is still so small and requires a great deal of care and attention, and Sherri was exceptional in providing us updates, the best pics, and most importantly loving our Poppy in our absence. And dog owner would be so fortunate to have Sherri care for their fur babies! She is the best!”
About: I’ve had experience taking care of sorts of animals for over 10 years now. These include horses, chickens, goats, dogs, and cats. Can’t wait to meet yours! I currently work a part time job which is very flexible! I am able to spend as much time with your pets as needed! I also have a reliable car, so getting to your home won’t be an issue. I play and interact with your pets as if they are my own! I like to follow your instructions and try to make sure your pets get lots of love while you’re away. I clean up after my self and ensure you get back to a clean home. I offer mail pick up and can set out trash cans as well!
“Annie is the absolute best!! Reliable, proactive and sweet. She does drop-in visits with my two cats. One cat is very particular and shy but Annie took the time to bond with him. She keeps me updated on my boys at each check in, and I can see that they are happy and relaxed. I highly recommend booking with Annie!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Henly
About: I have been pet sitting since age 12. I have experience with farm animals, fish, gerbils, reptiles, cats, and dogs. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have taken care of senior dogs that need certain medications as well. I would love to help with any pet needs. I am focusing on online school, so I’m home most of the time. I will request a schedule or a planner from the pet parents that I follow. The planner will go over what time to feed, walk, and any other special instructions. I have a fenced in yard. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat to keep your fur baby company. 2 Shih Tzus, and 1 border collie. They are extremely friendly and never been an issue for any other pet family.
“Wonderful family! Our goldendoodle was comfortable and had a great time. They were very flexible with our plans and made it easy for us on our trip to Austin! Thanks so much!”
“Luna was very happy when I dropped her at Emma’s and when my husband picked her up. Emma sent pics during the day and let me know that Luna was having fun and getting along with the other dogs who were there. We will definitely use Emma again!”
“I had an excellent experience with Alexandra. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home very happy. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
About: With roughly four decades of dedicated dog care experience, I offer more than just walks and boarding; I provide a loving home away from home. Every wagging tail receives personalized attention, snuggles, and the patience they deserve. I believe in clear communication and pay meticulous attention to every need and detail, ensuring your furry friend feels safe and cherished. From light training reinforcement to exciting walks and invigorating hikes, every moment is tailored to your dog's happiness and well-being. Entrust your beloved companion to me, where they'll find a second home filled with love, care, and adventure. I currently work part-time (flexibly) from home, so I am able to consistently attend to your pup's needs and provide play, snuggles, and exercise throughout the week/weekend. I have a fenced yard, and live in a neighborhood that is great for walking (I do daily walks and/or hikes). I am happy to adapt to whatever routine your dog is accustomed to, such as crating, furniture rules, walking or feeding routines, etc. I have a 4 year old, female Aussie/Lab mix who has yet to meet an enemy. She is a happy girl with lots of energy, but does not tend to overwhelm dogs who need their space.
“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”
“I am 100% sure that there is not a better place for Maggie to be than with Claire. Maggie was waiting for me in the mornings to be ready to leave the house and go to day care with Claire and her dogs. Claire sent me pictures and video showing me what a good time Maggie was having. She even took Maggie for long walks. Claire has a very nice property that is perfect for dogs. I can't be happier that Claire can take care of Maggie.”
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!
“Calvin loved his day with Carol. He had fun with his other dog friends and also enjoyed time in the shade with Carol. We got picture updates and Calvin was so happy and well taken care of. We can’t wait for our next visit to the area, knowing that Calvin has a home away from home.”
About: AS OF NOW DROP-IN VISITS ARE ONLY FOR CAT CLIENTS. I have taken care of puppies who needed to be bottle fed to seniors who need help getting around. I worked and volunteered my time at multiple Animal Shelters since 2008. I also have experience working as a Veterinary Assistant. In 2017 I was Certified as a Basic Dog Trainer. I will be available all day and night at my home during your pets stay with me. A regular day looks like: 6 a.m. - morning potty break Between 6-10 a.m. - breakfast and *play time, nap or walk 10 a.m. - potty break Between 10-2 p.m. - *play time, nap or walk 2 p.m. - potty break Between 2-6 p.m. - *playtime, nap or walk 6 p.m. - potty break Between 6-10 p.m. - dinner and relax before bedtime 10 p.m. - potty break then bedtime *activity is decided on your dogs needs and weather conditions This is just a generic schedule, it can be tweaked for your dogs particular schedule and needs. If your dog has a lot of energy we can be more active. If your dog is in its senior years, disabled or not high energy we can just relax and watch movies while playing with toys or napping. What ever stage in life your pet is in I aim to meet those needs during it's stay with me. I have a fenced yard so we can have lots of play time safely outside. On hot days I have a dog sprinkler and dog pool so they can cool off. If your pet is outside so am I. My house has tile through out so I'm prepared for messes. If your dog is a senior and has a hard time walking on these types or floors let me know and I will roll out the rugs for them. I have a senior cat but she has her own room in case your dog and my cat don't get along, they can be separated. I also have a 6 year old spayed female dog who is energetic so if your dog likes to play she is ready. If you have a senior dog don't worry she has been around multiple senior dogs and knows when to leave them alone. I am home all day everyday and only take 1 Client at a time so I can dedicate all my attention to your pet(s). If you are comfortable I can also take your pet(s) with me on certain outings. Otherwise they would never be left alone for more the 4 hours. I live in a single family home that has a 6ft privacy fence. If your dog is inside I'm inside, if your dog is outside I'm also outside.
“Epiphany & Josh were AMAZING! Our pups were well cared for & had an awesome time! Really appreciated & enjoyed the videos they sent letting us know how they were doing. Definitely recommend them ... Five stars & 4 paws up!! ??”

“Carrie was absolutely wonderful! My dog is shy and she did well with making her feel comfortable. Carrie would send multiple pictures and gave her lots of love! She also realized we would be getting home late and she left a light on for my dog as well as us! How thoughtful!”
About: I have always had a conscientiousness and innate knowledge for dog care and connection. I treat and love every dog as if it were my own which means....they are family. Because of my lifelong love for pets, I worked for a pet nutrition company for years where I focused on pet care and well-being. I interacted and learned from trainers, groomers and pet professionals. I am comfortable with dogs that are big and small, young and old, and any breed. And...while I don't "own" a cat, I am happy to care for them too! I will care for your pets as if they were my own and I will do everything it takes to make sure every furry face has an ear-to-ear smile and everything they need to be healthy, safe and content. My doggo and I recently moved back to Texas from Colorado and are enjoying being back with family here. As we continue to settle in, I would love to help you and your family in your pet sitting and/or feeding and walking needs. My availability is flexible and wide and I'm here to help take care of your pups and kitties! I am extremely conscientious about pet safety and welfare so you can rest assured that your fur kids are in competent and capable hands. If there are emergencies or urgent situations, I have the maturity and confidence to remain calm and address the need quickly. Additionally, if you would like your dog to have a playmate during my visit, I have a very "dog-friendly" dog who loves to play and would be more than happy to offer her services. (This would only be per your request)
About: I am a dog & cat mom who is also in law school! My pets are my entire world and your pets will be as well. I go above and beyond the bare minimum because I am such an avid animal lover, so rest assured your pet will be well taken care of while you enjoy your time away. I am a law student who works from home, so I have plenty of time on my hands to play with your animals and ensure they are getting the proper amount of attention while you’re away. My pets are treated like angels. I have two french bulldogs who require a lot of attention and I don’t mind giving it. Additionally, I have medium and very large dogs who are playful and also get a lot of attention. One of my large dogs is special needs and thriving.
About: I have grown up around animals and currently care for four cats, so pet care has always been a big part of my daily life! Over the years, I’ve also helped neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting, and volunteered with animal shelters, which have given me hands-on experience with a wide range of animals and temperaments. I especially enjoy working with cats and have experience with all ages and backgrounds, including cats with specific medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable with administering oral and injectable medications, and I’m very attentive to routine, comfort, and stress levels, especially for anxious pets. In addition to cat care, I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Currently, I am most familiar with Labs and Doodles, but have experience walking dogs of different sizes (including puppies!) and breeds through pet sitting and helping neighbors, and I’m confident handling structured walks and daily care routines. I currently work part-time and am in college, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent communication and frequent updates while I’m with your pets! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely and prioritize their normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. At this time, I am not boarding dogs in my home. For cat boarding, however, I provide a calm, indoor-focused environment where safety and supervision are always the priority.
About: I've had experience taking care of dogs as well as my own. I've helped train my dog when she was a puppy and have spent time watching her on my own for days at a time. I am an active person and love to spend my time outdoors and would love to get some exercise with some furry friends. I am currently working part-time while also studying to get my real estate license online. I would love to spend my free time outside and hanging out with some cute doggies. I can fit pet care into my full week most of the time! I take my dog outside when she needs to potty as well as walk her once a day. I fill up her food bowl twice a day and her water bowl as needed. I know how to clean any accidents pets might have too.
“Isabella and her mom were wonderful in communicating and supporting us and Houston in a last minute bind. Loved having them walk our baby and would absolutely recommend.”
About: I treat all animals like family, and I make sure your pet gets attention and love while you’re away! I also enjoy training dogs new skills and I’m experienced in potty training puppies! I’m currently working part-time, so i will be able to care for your fur-baby during the day. I am available during the week and weekends. For drop-ins and dog walking I will make sure your fur-baby is well taken care of and content! I also enjoy stimulating pets with outdoor activities and exercise!
About: Ive been around cats and dogs for my whole life so I know what they need and don't need. I have experience with puppy's and senior dogs that need extra care. I am personally a cat lover but love all animals! Im currently working part-time and a full time student. During the Summer I have plenty of time to care for your pets, however, Winter and Spring may vary. While watching over your pets, I will feed, play, and walk them as needed. I want to build a strong friendship with your pets so that I can keep them happy while you’re gone.
About: Hi there! I love all types of animals, big and small, which is why I love to do this for work. I have experience in administering shots and pills to stubborn babies, such as my elderly soul dog who was diabetic. I have trained 2 german shepard since they were puppies, so trust that I can handle a high energy, snappy puppy. I have experience with caring for disabled dogs and am willing to put in whatever work I need to do to make them feel that they can still have just as much fun! I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs! I’m currently working part-time and I am in college. I have time to care for animals in the afternoon most days and early in the morning. On the weekends I have much more time to take care of your little ones! I think that the key to keeping any animal safe is being able to read their body language. This is something that I pay attention to and notice the smallest hint of stress. Doing this enables me to communicate with animals because they are always trying to tell you something. I try to only walk animals when the concrete is cool enough for their little paws. I have had to break up many a dog fight and the best way that I have found so far is to clap to distract them then separate as soon as possible. I keep charcoal on me just in case any animal eats something that they are not allowed to because this does happen more often when their parents are away. I am always keeping animals safety in mind when I am caring for them and treat them like my own little babies.
About: New to Rover but caring for pets and homes locally as if they were my own has been part of my life for years. I know how important it is to trust the person you’re leaving your pets with and I take that to heart. I’m patient, reliable, and pay close attention to the little things that keep pets happy and homes feeling cared for. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including playful puppies and gentle senior pets who may need extra time, medications, or a softer touch. I’m comfortable handling different routines, personalities, and special needs. Beyond pet care, I’m respectful of your home and keep everything tidy so you return to a space that feels just the way you left it—or a little better! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I work remotely from home. That means I’m around throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, whether they need extra attention, medication, or just a reassuring presence. Having animals around just makes my days better, so it never feels like a job to me. When I’m staying in a client’s home, I keep pets on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. That means regular meals, walks, playtime, and as many snuggles as they can stand:)
About: I have experience interning at a vet clinic, where I learned more ways to care for animals and grew my passion for pet sitting. I have cared for both puppies and elderly dogs whilst pet sitting. Alongside dog sitting, I also have experience caring for other pets, such as cats, and taking care of house plants. I have a very flexible schedule this summer and I am hoping to incorporate more pet care into my daily life! I am available weekdays and weekends. I own four dogs which I feed, bathe, take on walks, play outside with, feed. I am very experienced in taking care of dogs because of my four dogs at home. I care of others pets based on what they need from me.
About: Pets have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had dogs and I quickly became the go to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, and family! Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, going for long walks on the trail, playing at the dog park, or making sure they get the care they need while their owners are away, I truly love spending time with animals. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet and it’s my promise to treat yours like they’re my own. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule on the weekends to save for my graduate studies so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I provide fresh food and water, daily walks, playtime and PLENTY of scratches, cuddles, and attention! I would follow any special instructions, including giving medication if needed. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, reinforcing training, or giving belly rubs, I make sure each pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. My goal is to keep pets happy and stress free in their familiar environment.
About: I've grown up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and the occasional chicken :) I worked as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic in high school and as a veterinary technician during my undergraduate degree so I have TONS of experience with dogs and cats, both at home and in medical environments. As a veterinary student, I absolutely love animals and want to provide the best care possible! As a vet student, I am mostly available on weekends but the occasional weekday. I am able to pet-sit, go on walks, and host animals at my house (mostly on weekends) I have an outdoor patio area for leash walks and potty breaks. As a veterinary student, I have experience working with all types of animals. I am observant and attentive to their various needs so they stay safe and comfortable!
About: I've dedicated years to providing reliable and attentive care for cats of all temperaments. My experience includes overseeing feeding schedules, meticulously cleaning litter boxes, engaging in playtime, and providing the quiet companionship many cats enjoy. I understand that cats thrive on routine and comfort, and I am committed to maintaining their familiar environment, offering consistent updates, and ensuring their well-being is my top priority while you're away." Beyond my dedication to providing exceptional pet care, my professional pursuits also extend to contributing creatively and logistically to various productions within the dynamic and fast-paced film industry. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my absolute highest priorities. I am committed to providing a secure and nurturing environment, treating every animal as if they were my own. My approach emphasizes strict adherence to routines, clear communication with pet parents, and a vigilant eye for any changes in behavior or health. You can rest assured that I am dedicated to maintaining your trust through transparent, reliable, and loving care.
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and absolutely love being around them! Recently had to put our dog down so looking for a furry friend! I’m currently working part time so I have a lot of free time in my hands and a pretty flexible schedule as well which helps. At my house I have a fenced in yard that is a big size and also willing to go to your house as well. Want the animals to feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time with them. What sets me apart is my sense of compassion and kindness for animals. It’s my belief that all animals are deserving of love and respect, and it brings me great joy to be able to share love with them. I’m currently taking online classes at Bellevue college. I have lots of free time on my hands and love spending that time with as many animals as possible. I care very deeply for animals, I tend to go above and beyond when it comes to caring for peoples animals. I love getting them new toys and healthy treats. I also respect the homes that I dog sit in, always making sure that I leave the homes cleaner then when I arrived.
“Annie was great! She took great care of Archie and kept in contact all the time. She sent pictures everyday and I felt so comfortable and safe while I was gone. I would love to book her again, thank you Annie!”

“Chuck is a superstar. We had a challenging stressful trip, but thinking about our pet Percy is one thing we’ve never had to worry about. He’s so kind and funny and he gave a ton of comfort. He took care of our pup like his own and we couldn’t ask for a better person. You rock Chuck.”
“Malu and her sweet family couldn’t be more perfect for our dog! She shared daily pictures and updates of all the love he was getting and I could see how adored he was. My dog and I are looking forward to the next time with Malu!”
“Lillyann took the very best care of our most precious fur babies! She was very responsive, sent frequent updates, the furries were relaxed and comfortable at home. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Charlie had the BEST weekend stay with Lacey and her fam while we were away getting married! Charlie was welcomed in as part of Lacey’s family and we couldn’t be more grateful that our girl was taken care of so well. We got so many updates throughout the weekend and Charlie got so much activity — 10/10 would definitely recommend and would love to stay again!”
“Erica is very professional. We appreciated the daily updates and photos. We were so happy to see our sweet girl comfortable and being allowed to treat the home like her own. Erica took wonderful care of our Cake!”
“Angie took great care of our Goldendoodle. She was great at communicating and sending us pictures. Our dog felt right at home. Happy to have found someone who can take such good care of our dog!”
“Paco has stayed with Gail a few times. He now recognizes where he is when we pull up to her house - his tail starts wagging and he is ready to go see her. We get daily updates and photos from Gail, and Paco literally looks like he is smiling in the photos. I am so glad we can leave him with Gail (and Gwen!) when we have to travel without him. I know Paco is in good hands!”
About: I have been a dog foster for eight years in the Dallas area with Take Me Home Pet Rescue. I fostered at least a dozen dogs, but seven in particular needed special attention to make them ready to be great pets. I spent time on socialization, behavior, obedience and at least four of them got their basic Canine Good Citizen certification. Fostering gave me the opportunity to learn about various breeds, behaviors and work with dog behaviorists, dog day cares and behavior vets. I have owned four rescue dogs and taken them through the Canine Good Citizen program.:two of them through the third level. My tripawd dog, Rango, has done Rally at the novice level. And Lumi, my most recent rescue from PAWS, is also CGC Certified and ready to do some therapy work once she gets over her car-sickness. I have learned so much from my fostering experiences and working with various dogs. All the training is very positive and relationship-based. I am not trainer, but happy to work with your trainer. After moving to Dripping Springs, I have kept some friends and neighbors dogs and now adding some dog sitting into my substitute teaching schedule. Your dog will stay with Lumi (three year old Lab mix) and Rango (an eleven year old border collie and Aussie mix). We have a nice fenced, shaded and good sized back yard with birds and squirrels. We walk in our park and native woods behind our house almost every morning after breakfast. Our one-story home has mostly all linoleum plank vinyl flooring. I feed the dogs apart twice a day and there is no food aggression. They take treats together and they have become bonded. Our neighborhood is quiet and a nice mix of all ages with homes and quarter acre yards. I am an artist who works from home and I substitute teach art and early elementary at our ISD. My schedule will show booked substituting and dog sitting. I will stay home on days I know I'm keeping your dog. Your dog will get a walk, play with my pups and get some TLC. Because I teach, I also have security and background clearance with the school district. Your dog should be good with other dogs, house trained, spayed/neutered and a natural initial level of separation anxiety that will wane. Because of my fostering experience with dog transitions, I ask first-time pups and parents to come see us, our house and yard to make sure it's a good match for everyone. When a dog comes and goes with their owners, they are far more secure coming a second time and being left. I want a successful visit for everyone and look forward to repeat visits. I will treat your dog with care, love and safety. I look forward to meeting you and your pup. I substitute teach and on days I'm not teaching or know I'm boarding, I'll stay home. I may run a quick errand, especially if you have a multi-day stay, but I will be home maybe doing my art, maybe working in the back yard with the dogs in the back roaming around while I work. I have a fenced back yard that is shady and secure. I can crate your dog as needed. I have two dogs who are friendly and playful, but submissive and give their guests space. I will feed all dogs in separate areas. If I go run a quick errand, I will make sure the dogs go outside and I'll check in with you beforehand about crating or separating. I will walk each dog separately once during the day, usually in the morning. If your dog has a bed, feel free to bring it and if well potty trained, it can bunk in the bedroom with us so it is part of the pack. Some dogs want to sleep in the bed and really depends on how the dogs get along, especially the first night or two as it does take natural adjustment time.
“We would absolutely recommend Marie and her family! This is the 2nd time our girl Izzy has stayed with them and we always feel so comfortable that she’s having a great time and getting the love she deserves”
About: I have had Labradors all my Life. I just recently lost my soul dog, I am not ready to get a new pet of my own, but I would love to open my heart to love on some new furry friends. I am a recently retired school teacher, and I work part time from home. We have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool where your baby can play, swim if they want, and will be greatly loved and cared for. I do not have any other pets in the home and will only sit with one dog at a time. I am happy to leash walk your dog daily, if that is something they would enjoy. As a retiree, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I do not have any other pets at home, and I prefer to only keep one at a time so I can give your baby the one on one special attention and love they deserve. I prefer dogs to sleep on their own beds, and or their own crate at night. No puppies or chewers please.
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog! Maura & Shawn went above and beyond. It was so comforting to receive the pictures and updates from them that showed our dog was in loving hands while we were away. We could tell they were treating her like their own. They took her on exciting trail walks, gave her plenty of snuggles, and even prepared fun treat puzzles to keep her entertained. We highly recommend Maura & Shawn to anyone looking for loving pet sitters—our pup can’t wait to stay with them again!”
“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!!”
“Great sitter! I will definately use her again. Very flexible, quick to respond, house was clean and she sent lots of pictures. Thanks Emma and family for loving on my Sassy Pants.”
“Aine was such a wonderful sitter for our pup! She is extremely responsive and always sent great pictures. She was flexible when we had some last minute travel changes and helped us feel at ease during our entire trip. We would highly recommend Aine!!”
“Larissa, James, and family + Cash (the golden) are a great bunch! We are so happy to have found them via Rover, the children are loving with dogs and they enjoy spending time with our labrador. Cash and our lab have such a great time together for daycare as well as overnight visits, and I always bring my lab home exhausted. We are very particular about who we use to watch our dog, and we spent time meeting their family and vetting them as dogsitters, and we could not be happier. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run in, they live in a nice home, in a nice gated neighborhood, and Larissa was always available and attentive if I needed anything while I was away.”
“Morgan was amazing with our sweet dog Harley. Harley is typically anxious and timid with new friends, but Morgan made her feel right at home and she was her happy, goofy and playful self immediately. It made our travels so much easier knowing that she was comfortable and enjoying herself while we were away. Morgan was great about sending lots of photos and updates throughout our trip so our family could see the puppy adventures she was getting into herself. Will absolutely book with Morgan over and over again. Thank you, Morgan!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! They truly went the extra mile in every aspect of our dog's stay. From the moment we dropped our dog off, they made both us and our dog feel like family. Communication was outstanding, and we received so many adorable photos and updates throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious our dog was loved, well cared for, and having the best time. We are so grateful and will absolutely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“Becca has a nice set up. The dogs have their own place to sleep and play, and then she has some “zoomie” time each day. I got a video each day and when I was very nervous at first she would reply quickly! Our puppy needed medication and special food and Becca was accepting. I will rebook again!”
