“We were so thankful to have found Tabitha. It was so nice to receive her pictures, and we felt secure in knowing that our Baby was with a family that was playing with her and holding her while we were gone.”
“Olivia did a fantastic job with our pugs. I am an anxious person and was feeling nervous about leaving my pugs for 10 days while out of the country. Olivia sent me multiple pictures and updates every day, morning and night. This helped me feel so secure in our choice of pet care. It seemed like our pugs truly had a great time and had lots of play and cuddle time. They also loved her puggies, Tuna and Oskar. When we dropped Tito off, his nose was looking dry and I asked Olivia if she could butter it while we were away. When we picked them up, Tito’s nose looked brand new! I would rebook Olivia for our next trip in a heartbeat! Thank you so much!”
“My dog, Avery, really enjoyed her stay. She got lots of outside time to play and walk around exploring in the backyard. Iuliia has great communication and cares so much for the dogs she boards.”
“Anthony was fantastic. I was cancelled on twice by two other sitters from Rover. The last cancellation was on the day I needed to drop pups off. I was stressed and on the verge of panic as I was scheduled to fly out of country for a family trip. I immediately got on Rover and requested Anthony, he immediately responded and accepted. Not only was he super responsive, but his place is set up nicely for a doggie retreat. It is obvious Anthony has a lot of experience with dogs of all kinds and is excellent at his job. I will most definitely use Anthony again for future stays! Thank you Anthony!!!!”
“Edwin provided such a great experience for our best boy while my family had to travel. This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad that the app was recommended and we found Edwin. Edwin sent photos, communicated great and even accommodated my request to do a meet and greet before confirming a reservation. I honestly couldn’t say enough good things about Edwin and Charlie’s stay with him and his family — 10 out of 10 and highly recommend to anyone local to Kyle.”
“Amazing! She took great care of my puppy and more! Great doggie sitter! Give me updates, videos and pictures of my puppy during boarding will use her again in the future to watch my puppy. Thank you so much 😊”
“Absolutely the best Rover sitters I have ever had hands down. They took in my dog on a last minute notice due to an issue with another sitter and it was absolute serendipity that I was lucky to have such a caring and attentive family watch my pup. They sent pictures daily and were so great with my dog. Every time they sent a photo he was smiling, getting belly rubs, or on a walk! He was truly on vacation as well! I absolutely wholeheartedly recommend Patricia and Jason as sitters, I wish I had found them sooner. I live in North Austin and they are 100% worth the drive, I will absolutely use them again in the future should I need a sitter!”
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“Jade is so sweet! She had our 4 month old puppy for 4 nights and was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. My dog loved playing with her dog Hiccup and they did lots of fun activities together. Will be booking again!”
“Savannah and Gabriel are the absolute best! We have been using them well over a year for our pup Charlie and he absolutely adores them! My husband and I just had our first baby and don’t have family in ATX. These guys were able to watch him within hours notice of me going into labor, drove 35 minutes both ways to pick and drop him off and left flowers for me and baby. Thank you Savannah and Gabriel for the peace of mind, sweet gift and being there when we needed it the most! We can’t thank you enough.”
“Allina & her family were so nice. They took great care of my 2 girls and sent lota of.photos & videos. Their home waa nice & clean. If im ever in Austin area again, ill def book her again”
“I wanted to leave a follow- up review for Clarice and Steve. We have boarded our Great Dane, Kate, with them four times now, I believe, and we do not have a care in the world when we leave her with them. They continue to take great care of her and she obviously enjoys staying there. They have accommodated last minute requests when we had a loved one dying. They have been flexible and understanding. Four boardings later and I cannot give them a higher recommendation. These are the people to take care of your pets when you are away!”
“Lauren is a great dog sitter! She took care our pup during first time away from us and she did a great job. She’s very communicative and friendly. Highly recommend her and will be boarding our Sunny boy with her again next time.”

“This is the second time I’ve asked Sydney to keep my cats company and she did not disappoint! I could tell they were happy and receiving a ton of attention with all the pictures she would send. Absolute best for peace of mind!”
About: I am a self-described cat lady - I absolutely love cats! I’ve had cats ever since I can remember, with experience and a soft spot for caring for senior cats. I’ve also cared for a pregnant cat and then helped raise a litter of kittens! Additionally, I have experience in administering medication to kitties. I have a few cats of my owns, so it may be better for me to care for your kitty in their own environment. However, my cats are used to other pets in the home, so your kitty is more than welcome at my home. I offer complimentary meet and greets to see if it’s a good fit.
“Angelica did an amazing job taking care of my 3 cats when I was away from 5 days! She spent time hanging out with my kitties and took lots of great pictures. My cats are so comfortable with her on day 1. They became great friends on day 3 already. Angelica is also always very responsive to my messages. Definitely recommend her to take care of your pets, especially cats!”
About: I grew up with high-energy large hunting dogs. My own dog passed away this past Fall, but I love to give affection and care to other’s furry friends. Whether your dog needs to be walked 10 miles a day or is just a couch potato, I’ve got you covered! I currently work part time as a Tax Preparer and rarely have shifts for more than 4 hrs. Please let me know your dog’s needs and I’ll be happy to discuss the dates you are requesting! Lots of love for your furry friend, I’m great at keeping a schedule, and keeping all house rules/cleanliness. Ask me anything, I’m happy to accommodate!
“Madelyn was super helpful and responsive! She truly knows what she’s doing and tries to do best for the pup. She worked through some scheduling issues perfectly, would definitely recommend!”
About: I have grown up with cats all of my life!! I am that person at a party who would rather hang out with the cat in the corner. I have two fur babies of my own that I love to death. The only worries you'll have with me are that I might snuggle your baby a little too much (if that is within their boundaries, of course).
“My cats were healthy, happy and well taken care of by Blayne. Opal says “yes, bring her back! Warm lap and she knows right where to scratch my ears!” Azeriphale wants another round of chase the toy mouse!”
“Linda was great! She watched our two dogs and they really seemed to love her. She sent some awesome videos and pictures and even played training games with our very timid boxer to get her more comfortable around her—and it worked! I’d highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up with a cat, my stepdad had a shorthair black cat with beautiful green eyes, I would feed her but since I was in young young, there wasn’t much else I could do fast forward to 2023. My sister’s best friend has three cats and whenever they would go out of town, I would cat sit for her. It worked even better because we lived in the same apartment complex. I would just stop by and make sure the cats were doing OK. I fed them gave them water and one of them required to take medication so I would give her her meds as well.
About: Until I moved to start my MA, I’ve been lucky enough to spend my entire life with dogs of all ages and energy levels by my side. I’d love to show your companion some love and care while you’re away. I’m available 7 days a week in the mornings and evenings and I’m available all day on the weekends. Between studying and teaching as I pursue my MA in archaeology at Texas State University, I often take breaks by gardening and hiking, and I would love to share the fresh air with a furry friend. Taking your companion out for a walk or playdate would make my day! I’m unable to own a pet at my current residence, but I’m happy to provide in-home care at your residence or in a public space. I’m comfortable feeding/watering, bathroom needs, and spending time with pets indoors or outdoors.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teeneager and have been a pet parent for just as many years. I currently have two boston terriers of my own, Cooper and Chloe. I'm semi retired and have lots of availability. i love dogs of all kinds and it gives me great pleasure to interact with and care for dogs. I will feed, walk, play with your dogs and administer any necessary medication. I'm retired so I can work around any schedule you need me to.
About: I didn't grow up with cats, but I met them through friends and roommates in my twenties and quickly fell for them. What started as living alongside other people's cats turned into a real love for them, and today I own two of my own. I understand that every cat has its own personality, from confident and social to shy and independent, and I adjust my approach to what each one needs. I'm attentive to routines, litter box habits, and the small things that help a cat feel secure while their person is away.
“I cannot recommend Katy enough! She went above and beyond while caring for my cat, Frida, who is still adjusting after our recent move. Contractors showed up unexpectedly during the week, and she thoughtfully asked if they’d be back so she could plan her visits around them; just to help minimize stress for Frida. That level of care and consideration meant so much. Her visit reports were incredibly thorough. She detailed every litter box scoop (including type), and when Frida got into human food in the pantry, she not only took photos but also made sure the food was secured so it wouldn’t happen again. At one point we thought our auto feeder had failed, and she troubleshot it until she confirmed it was working properly. Frida, who is usually shy, warmed up to her instantly and showered her with affection at every visit. It was clear she has a natural gift with cats; she truly is the cat lady of Lockhart. I’d be thrilled to book her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone. If you want someone who treats your pet like their own and gives you total peace of mind, she’s the one!”
About: I have watched really any animal there is for 10+ years! I’m that reliable person you call when you need someone to take care of your pets! I’m currently open full time! I can do walks during the say or pet sit overnight. I can manage multiple pets at a time as well! I can easily crate your pet if needed! I also have a beautiful dog park close by and awesome trails I can take your pet too!

About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.
About: Hello all pet parents! I am new to Rover. I've recently relocated to Luling, TX. I am looking for small gigs like taking care of furry friends because pets are my life, as I'm sure they are yours too! Most of my professional and personal experiences with pets have been with dogs and cats, to include feedings, scheduled walks and playtimes, administering medications, bathing, nail trims, and just plain ol' cuddling. I am big on SAFETY as it is the most important thing when your pet is away from you or in someone else's care. I understand different breeds may need different types of attention, especially when factoring in age and certain health conditions. Please allow me a chance to meet your pup (or cat) and help you out occasionally! Cheers! (Smaller critters welcome, we all need a little checking on!) I’m currently a stay at home pet mom while I attend online classes to become an educator, which is self paced. It is very easy for me to balance your pets needs with my own! I may allow overnight boarding from time to time in my own home, I will keep my calendar open for that accordingly. I can take your pets outside to favored parks or areas, or care for them in your own home. I do not wish to stay overnight in your home, but may be available for extended hours.
“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!! ??”
“We can’t thank Allina enough for taking such amazing care of our dogs, especially on such short notice. We were in a stressful situation trying to find someone last minute, and she stepped in without hesitation. She was so patient, understanding, and treated our dogs with care. Knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and compassion. If you’re looking for someone you can truly trust with your pets, we wholeheartedly recommend Allina. We would absolutely book with her again when we are back 🩷!”
About: In addition to pet sitting, I also offer a convenient pet transportation service—perfect for safely getting your pet to and from grooming appointments, vet visits, or even a fun day out. It’s all part of my commitment to providing full-service care for your furry family member. As a special thank you, the first client to complete 7 consecutive days of pet sitting with us will receive a free pet transport and free grooming service on us! Your pet gets pampered—and you get peace of mind. As a dedicated pet sitter and loving pet owner myself, I treat every animal in my care like family. I prioritize safety above all else, making sure your pet feels secure, happy, and loved while you're away. With strong relationships with local groomers and vets, I’m well-connected and prepared for anything your pet may need. I offer personalized attention, dependable service, and regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in trusted hands. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine because it’s not just a job—it’s my lifestyle. As a pet owner myself, I’m already on a consistent schedule of walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddle breaks. Adding another furry friend to the mix fits right in, and I’m always happy to give them the same love, attention, and structure I give my own dog. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly space with access to a secure backyard for play and potty breaks. I also take them on nearby trail walks to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. They’ll have companionship from my friendly miniature schnauzer, Luna, and plenty of attention throughout the day. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine closely—meals, walks, and favorite activities—to help them feel secure and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect.
“Anthony took amazing care of my dog He is super friendly and sent us pics and updates as requested. The place was super clean with play area inside. Also nice and secure clean yard. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was amazing! I was super nervous about leaving my puppy for the first time ever, especially because we were coming in from out of town for the weekend and not super familiar with the area. Stephanie helped ease my nerves with how knowledgeable she is! She kept me updated throughout my furbaby’s stay with videos and pictures! We will definitely be using her again when we come back into town! 10 out of 10!”

“Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!”
“I feel so comfortable leaving my baby! I know he is in good hands and I don't even have to worry if my baby is safe and being loved on. The fact that Weasley's tail becomes a super fast helicopter blade when he gets to the sitter tells me everything!”
“Cannot say how much we appreciate Iuliia and her care of our boy. She saved us in a last minute situation with our very anxious dog, and was amazing with him. Best rover we could have asked for.”
“Amelia was an amazing sitter for my Kevin. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day. She was also flexible with my schedule and great about communication. I will definitely be using Amelia in the future!!”

About: Our dog of 14 years passed in 2024 and our dog of 2 years passed Dec 2025. We arent ready for a permanent new fur baby, but our hearts long to love on yours! Our kids love to run around in the backyard to wear your rambunctious puppies out! We also have experience in administering medications to animals and being gentle to older animals. I am a stay at home mom! Pet care easily fits into my day and nights. I am free to care for pee training puppies as well as needy older dogs. Animals have free reign of our house as we love them to snuggle on the couch with us! However, if your rules and training requires otherwise, we respect and honor that!
About: I have had two dogs throughout my entire life. One of them is a younger German Shepherd, and the other one was a 15 year old Shi Tzu. I am able to walk dogs for as long as needed. I can play with and take care of dogs that have a lot of energy. I also can care for dogs who are sick and need to take medication, for I had to do this with my Shi Tzu for about a year before he passed. Although I have not yet pet-sitted professionally, I am very knowledgeable when it comes to caring for and loving all different types of animals, especially dogs! I am currently on summer break, so I am looking for some extra income before I start my next semester. That is to say, my schedule is extremely flexible! I can come in during early mornings, late nights, in the middle of the day, etc. I would prefer to go to the client’s home if the dog is a bit smaller. I have a large and friendly german shepherd who has loads of energy. I understand that this can sometimes overwhelm certain pets with certain personalities.
About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around animals since I was 5 years old, growing up caring for ranch animals, dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I live a very active lifestyle. I’m an avid runner and extremely into fitness, so staying consistent, disciplined, and energetic is already a huge part of who I am. Taking care of animals naturally goes hand in hand with that lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, going on walks, staying active, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I take animal safety and comfort very seriously both inside and outside of my home. I have a fully fenced patio area that provides pets with a secure outdoor space for fresh air, playtime, and exercise while staying safe at all times. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly, socialized, and used to being around other animals. However, I understand that every pet has different comfort levels and needs, so my dogs can always be safely crated or separated if necessary to ensure visiting pets feel comfortable and stress-free.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every pet. I treat each animal like a member of my own family and take the time to learn their unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'm experienced with puppies and can reinforce basic training, potty schedules, crate training, and positive behaviors through consistency and patience. I'm also comfortable caring for senior pets, including administering oral medications, accommodating mobility challenges, and providing the extra attention and gentle care they need. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special requirements, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. I am currently a college student so I can provide pet care before and after classes. I am also free every Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether in your home or mine, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've been taking care of different animals since I was a kid. From farm livestock to exotic animals with more specific needs, I'm confident I can keep your pet very happy and comfortable.

I'm a on campus living student so I can't have any pets over, but I'm available to do pet walks, quick visits, and overnight watches.
About: I have grown up taking care of cats and dogs, and have a personal interest in animal behavior! In the middle of my psychology undergraduate degree, I take my work and compassion very seriously. And as a mother of 3 fur babies, I can assure the upmost amount of care from my end! I have plenty of time for your pet(s)! I am available 5 days out of the week, and am committed to making sure every minute is worth it for them and you! I am able to transport your pet to cooler and comfortable locations they may enjoy, or always stay in your neighborhood! I also accommodate to different communication methods and requests for your comfortability.
About: Hello! Welcome to my profile! :) My name is Yari, me and my husband are both Army veterans who just moved to the area. We are so happy to be here. I’ve taken care of puppies to elderly dogs like (Nacho the pug) for all of his life (all of 16 years) and my Luna for 13 years. I have over 15 years of dog sit/ in-home check-in experience for multiple families. I am kind, gentle and patient with every animal I care for. I work from home, so I will definitely have a lot of time for your furbabies! I am available for house sitting/ doggy day care/walks mostly anytime of any day. I am mostly free to do check ins for your pups in-home depending on what and when you’d prefer. I have 2 friendly furbabies (Luna the yorkie and Fang the Bluey) to keep your pups company. I can crate your pup or they can stretch their legs throughout the house.
“Blayre has been terrific with our dogs. They both were so excited to see her and loved their walks. She was fantastic with the dogs and she even picked up the yard where the dogs had torn up one of their toys. We highly recommended Blayre for services.”
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with small dogs, and over the years I've lived with and cared for cats and medium to large dogs owned by family, roommates, and neighbors. Today I own two cats and regularly watch friends' pets when they travel. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes and I treat every pet in my care the way I'd want mine treated. I currently work from home, which means pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed in around a commute. I'm able to visit at consistent times for feedings, walks, and playtime, and I'm flexible enough to adjust visit times if a pet needs extra attention or a different routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routines and rules as closely as possible so the pet's environment stays familiar and low-stress. I always confirm entry/exit procedures, secure doors and gates behind me, and check that food, water, and litter are addressed on schedule. I treat each home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, and I stay attentive to a pet's body language and comfort level throughout each visit, always reaching out to the owner if anything seems off.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for everything from tiny Chihuahuas to gentle Great Pyrenees, raised puppies from birth, loved senior dogs through their golden years, and cared for rescue dogs with unique personalities and needs. My own family includes four spoiled pups: a 12-year-old Chihuahua, a 12-year-old rescue, and two playful French Bulldog puppies who keep me on my toes every day. They are my babies, and I know that’s exactly how you feel about yours. I understand that hiring a sitter means trusting someone with a member of your family. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own, while respecting their routine, personality, and all the little things that help them feel happy and secure. I am taking the summer off before returning to school three days a week this fall. That means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. My own daily routine already revolves around caring for my two dogs, so adding walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or overnight care fits naturally into my day. I carefully plan my schedule so every pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve rather than feeling rushed between appointments. I treat every pet as if they were my own: with patience, kindness, and respect for their individual personalities and routines. I know that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and any special instructions you provide. Whether that’s medication, feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, or bedtime routines, I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m attentive to details, keep a clean environment, and always prioritize your pet’s safety. You’ll also receive regular photo updates and messages so you can relax knowing your furbaby is happy and well cared for.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a teeneager and have been a pet parent for just as many years. I currently have two boston terriers of my own, Cooper and Chloe. I'm semi retired and have lots of availability. i love dogs of all kinds and it gives me great pleasure to interact with and care for dogs. I will feed, walk, play with your dogs and administer any necessary medication. I'm retired so I can work around any schedule you need me to.
About: I've taken care of animals as long as I can remember! My love for animals came from living with my grandmother, who never went without at least a few cats & dogs in her house. I always give the babies the best treatment that they deserve. Although I have never had professional experience, I am the go-to pet sitter for all my friends and family, and I have two fur babies of my own! I'm open to all animals but I have the most experience with: - Cats of all ages - Small Dogs I am currently unemployed as I have just graduated from college. That said, I have plenty of free time and am willing to work around YOUR schedule. I have two cats of my own and spend pretty much all of my day playing with them, and I keep them on a strict feeding schedule. I will follow any rules that you may have for your own animal, and I promise to keep them on their routine while you're away.

“My dog, Avery, really enjoyed her stay. She got lots of outside time to play and walk around exploring in the backyard. Iuliia has great communication and cares so much for the dogs she boards.”
“Anthony was fantastic. I was cancelled on twice by two other sitters from Rover. The last cancellation was on the day I needed to drop pups off. I was stressed and on the verge of panic as I was scheduled to fly out of country for a family trip. I immediately got on Rover and requested Anthony, he immediately responded and accepted. Not only was he super responsive, but his place is set up nicely for a doggie retreat. It is obvious Anthony has a lot of experience with dogs of all kinds and is excellent at his job. I will most definitely use Anthony again for future stays! Thank you Anthony!!!!”
“Edwin provided such a great experience for our best boy while my family had to travel. This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad that the app was recommended and we found Edwin. Edwin sent photos, communicated great and even accommodated my request to do a meet and greet before confirming a reservation. I honestly couldn’t say enough good things about Edwin and Charlie’s stay with him and his family — 10 out of 10 and highly recommend to anyone local to Kyle.”
“Amazing! She took great care of my puppy and more! Great doggie sitter! Give me updates, videos and pictures of my puppy during boarding will use her again in the future to watch my puppy. Thank you so much 😊”
“Linda kept my dog for three days and she did an excellent job with him. She even sent me a little video of Ollie speaking to me. It was adorable! I will definitely use Linda C. again!!”
“Jade is so sweet! She had our 4 month old puppy for 4 nights and was very communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. My dog loved playing with her dog Hiccup and they did lots of fun activities together. Will be booking again!”
“Allina & her family were so nice. They took great care of my 2 girls and sent lota of.photos & videos. Their home waa nice & clean. If im ever in Austin area again, ill def book her again”
“I wanted to leave a follow- up review for Clarice and Steve. We have boarded our Great Dane, Kate, with them four times now, I believe, and we do not have a care in the world when we leave her with them. They continue to take great care of her and she obviously enjoys staying there. They have accommodated last minute requests when we had a loved one dying. They have been flexible and understanding. Four boardings later and I cannot give them a higher recommendation. These are the people to take care of your pets when you are away!”
About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.
“Kyrischa was absolutely amazing with our dog! We really felt like she took him in and loved our pup like he was her own! We especially loved the updates and pictures throughout his stay where he was smiling ear to ear in every picture! Seeing how happy and comfortable he looked gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was like he was on a vacation of his own with her! We felt completely at ease leaving him in her care, and we will definitely be trusting her with our pup the next time we’re out of town. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Highly recommend!!!”
“Mariana is amazing!! She went out of her way to pick up my dog while I was out of town and had to change sitters! She’s responsive, caring and my dog came back so happy - with cute bows in her hair!! She had a great time - I’ll definitely use her in the future.”
“Michelle was the absolute sweetest to my dog. Her and her family made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with them and truly showed her love. She kept me updated everyday and sent pictures and videos. Thank you Michelle!”
“Stephen and his family took great care of our dog Osito. We received frequent pictures and updates on how he was doing. Osito came home to us happy like we hadn’t left. Thank you Stephen and fam!”
“Adriana was welcoming the moment we dropped Rio off to when we came to pick him up. She sent updates everyday to help us feel at ease while away and I could see he was getting plenty of cuddles. Would definitely use her again.”
“Jourdan is so great with our pup Rose! Rose has tons of playtime, walks, pets, etc. We get some great photos too (ones that we save). She follows our requests for the sensitive tummy our pup has. Highly recommended :)”
“Lexi really enjoyed being there and I have nothing but good things to say about these two. I appreciate them coming through for me and keeping lexi happy in my absence!”
