“Cathrin was great! She communicated and responded fast when I had questions. She was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Heather took incredible care of our puppy, Dobby, for two weeks while my wife and I were on vacation. From day one, it was clear that she treated him like one of her own. She was attentive, patient, and clearly very experienced with dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Dobby got plenty of playtime throughout the day with her two dogs and the other dogs she was caring for, which he absolutely loved. He came back happy, well-socialized, and clearly well cared for. She sent us daily photo updates that we genuinely looked forward to and that reassured us Dobby was safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was in such loving hands allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without any worry. We’re extremely grateful to Heather and would trust her again without hesitation. We couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog like family.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jeff and Jirapun taking care of our dog, Miley. They kept us updated throughout her stay with regular messages and plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Miley was well cared for and very comfortable with them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Miley. We truly appreciate your kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely look forward to leaving Miley with you again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Mina & Antony are the perfect pair to watch your beloved pet while you are away. I can rest assured knowing that my little one is in trusted hands. Regular updates and videos never fail to make me smile.”
“I left my 5 year old pup with Chad for around 40 days, Chad took really good care of my pup and he sent updates everyday. He also showered my pup and trimmed his paws. Whisky was clean and tidy on the day on pickup. I would definitely drop my pup again in future without any hesitation.”
“Our dog has separation issues & is often a little picky about his friends, but he settled down with Rodnie & her pups nicely for the weekend. Rodnie allowed him to feel at home...... sleeping on her sofa!! She sent us an update so we were ensured all was well. We have already booked him again with Rodnie for his next stay!”
“I can not put into words how grateful I am to have found Bekah for my dog baby! My first time with an overnight dog sitter and Bekah was wonderful, attentive and caring! I would love to keep her all to myself and dog baby but she must be shared ! If you’re in need of someone to watch j your baby, she’s is the one !!”
“Daisy loved her time here. We had a meet and greet a couple of weeks beforehand and when I came to drop her off she dragged me to their door! They were great with keeping me updated and sending pics. Will definitely use them again!”
“Amber was a great sitter for our fur baby Mona. Great communication and Amber sent lots of pictures where Mona was just having the time of her life. Mona was well taken care of and gave us peace of mind. We will definitely be booking with Amber again for future sitter needs.”
“Megan was so so so great. Most of the sitters I’ve gone with have been wonderful but there was something extra special about Megan. I knew that she was giving my Pepper her full heart and that both were having a great week. She was super flexible with timing too which is great for my schedule. Will book again for sure!!”
“Kristina did a great job communicating and sending a lot of pictures! Tokyo seemed to have a great time with her pups. I will be booking again with her in the future!”

“I cannot say enough great things about Shevell! Her and her family took such amazing care of my Jack Russell while I was away, and I could tell from the moment we met that they truly love animals. They were super communicative, sending daily updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind. My dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know I have someone trustworthy and kind to rely on when I need a sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Kelly and her family took great care of my dog Johnny while I was gone on an extended vacation! Kelly regularly sent updates and pictures of their activities and how he was doing and took great care of Johnny. Highly recommended and will definitely use Kelly’s services again!”

“Jennifer is a chill lady and is very considerate. I do have a habit of over communication and I’m a yapper so the lack messages did worry me a little, but we came home to a happy n’ healthy Gnocchi and Jennifer always sent a rover card with every visit and replied when it really mattered. Thank you Jennifer!”
“Amanda was so great with our fur baby (cat)! She was communicative, sent so many photos, gave her tons of love & took amazing care of her (she even went above & beyond to the things we discussed). We are so glad we chose Amanda & will be booking with her again in the future. Thanks, Amanda!😻🥰”

“We took our two boys for a day outing, as we are leaving them with Candi for a week while we are out of town here in a couple weeks and wanted to make sure they were familiar with her and her place before we leave them for that long. They had a blast…I know because they were pooped when they got home! We are looking forward to knowing that they will be loved and well taken care of for our future trip and I know they will be excited to go back! Candi was also VERY responsive to my messages, which I highly appreciate! Definitely the best doggie resort!”

“Skia who doesn't like to stay away from us and with other humans and dogs in our absence, loves to hangout with Mark and she is super happy to be with him and his dog (like a second home). Mark takes great care of the dogs and even feeds them when he feels they are hungry without a second thought. Great experience sending our pup to Mark's place !”

For senior pets, I provide attentive and patient care, recognizing the importance of comfort and routine.

My work schedule allows me to be highly flexible and attentive to the pets in my care, ensuring they receive the attention and stimulation they need throughout the day. Each day begins with a morning play and exercise session in the yard, setting a positive tone for the day. Throughout my work hours, I take regular breaks to engage with the dogs, offering cuddles, treats, and playtime. This not only keeps them happy but also enriches their day-to-day experience. In the evenings, I dedicate time to more focused activities, whether it’s a training session for puppies using positive reinforcement techniques or calming routine care for senior pets. Living in a spacious home also means having plenty of indoor room for pets to relax and explore, ensuring comfort regardless of weather conditions. I also live in a prestigious neighborhood with a park right next door.My dogs and the ones I sits enjoys a bike ride around the neighborhood or a car ride to the park when it's cold. My home is their home, and my priority is to create a nurturing and joyful environment that meets each pet’s specific needs, making their stay both enjoyable and enriching.
“Cheyenne is an excellent caregiver; our pet enjoyed staying with the sitter and socializing and playing with the other pets. Overall, Cheyenne is a competent and dependable caregiver.”
“Veronica was a wonderful sitter! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off. She was very warm and welcoming to my dog. House has a large yard to run and play, and her resident dog Stella is the perfect temperament. She kept me updated throughout the day with cute and fun things he did as well as pictures. Brady seemed to really enjoy his time and was one happy exhausted pup by the end of the day! I definitely plan to book again when I need to!”
“They were very flexible to watch our dog on a Sunday and flexible with tie time. They made our dog feel comfortable with them and followed instructions on feeding and potty breaks. We would use them again when in town.”
“I left my Australian Shepard with Isabelle for daycare for two days, as I was dropping him off for the second day he was so excited to see Isabelle which I knew it meant he was in good hands. Isabelle was always responsive and gave me updates while he was with her. She also took him along for their daily walk which I appreciated. Thank you again Isabelle!”
About: We’re moving mid-June into our new home (officially homeowners, yay!), so because I don’t know when we’ll be settled, my availability is a little up in the air. We will be moving to East Georgetown (by Jonah), about a 15-minute drive from Taylor and a 10-minute drive from Hutto. We hope to still care for your pups after our transition into the new home. Lifelong dog owner with a decade of dog sitting and fostering experience, providing loving, reliable care while treating every pup like family in a safe, comfortable home. While you’re away, my dogs and I will make your pup feel comfortable with lots of love and play! I started out watching family members’ dogs as a teenager, then gradually began caring for my husband’s coworkers’ pups and others as word spread. Along the way, I realized how much I genuinely enjoy seeing new dogs interact with mine and how happy they are having friends around. It’s something I look forward to, and I am so excited to do it more often. My own pet’s care is part of my everyday life. I’m home all day with my own dogs, so your pup will always have company, attention, and lots of love. Caring for them is my full time job, which means I have all the time in the world to focus on making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play along with a doggy door for easy access, plus two friendly dogs who love having new companions around. I keep a close eye on all pups during playtime to make sure everyone is comfortable and getting along. I stick to your dog’s usual routine for feeding, potty breaks, and rest, and I’m happy to crate them if that’s part of their normal schedule. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and right at home the entire time they’re with me.
About: For the last 4 years I’ve had the honor of taking care of my own as well as my parents dog since they were puppies. Whenever my friends and family need a sitter, they trust that I’ll maintain walking and feeding schedules as though they never left, and as an added bonus, their dogs will be treated like little prince and princesses. I’m comfortable with dogs that might need to take oral medication due to being ill, as well as dogs who just like to be cuddled or played with. I currently work 4 days a week for my full time job that can be a bit overwhelming. Finding my fur baby brought me so much joy in a time when I needed it. Allowing me to care for your extended family member would be an honor. I ensure that pets are properly groomed, paws and butts wiped if needed. I ensure pets are fed based off of proportions given, and also make sure that they adhere to a schedule that includes, outside time both on and off leash to help with boredom and behavioral concerns.
“We have a 5 month old Golden Retriever puppy who had never been around other people or dogs thanks to COVID. I had a last minute opportunity to get the vaccine but needed a place for the puppy. Sara was great and open to my unknown schedule since I had no idea how long I’d have to wait. Puppy had a good time. I’d definitely use Sara again.”
“Brandon watched my 4 month old pup for the day and did a great job. As soon as I dropped her off she was running and playing. Brandon was easy to communicate with and the drop off and pick up was super simple. I’d definitely book Brandon again when I’m looking for someone to watch my husky pup.”
About: I’ve cared for, and have had dogs since I was a child, which has since grown into a huge love and passion for every canine! I’ve had multiple breeds and ages ranging from pups to seniors. I work full time however our home schedule can be flexible! I do have the ability to work from home at times. Our animals receive abundant amounts of attention and 1:1 time with countless hours of outside play! We have 3 older children that will help fulfill any high energy needs or give unending snuggles 💗 I have a fenced yard and 3 small dogs of my own to keep your baby company! I have a room for crates to keep your pup at nights or if we have to run errands so your pup and ours is safe! We have a basket of toys for entertainment.
“Jerica was awesome and let my pup be, which I appreciate! She’s not a super social dog and Jerica understood that and gave her the space she needed! She also gave me a brief summary of the day, which was great so I knew what to expect being back home with my pup. She also provided updates during the day!”
“Elisa was good with Shiloh and it looked like he enjoyed his stay without any big issues. She sent picture and updated to let me know he was ok and not giving her a hard time. Definitely was good at watching my puppy with no worries. Thanks again!”

“My dog absolutely LOVED Kimmie from the very first meeting. And my pup can be somewhat reserved around new people so that told me all I needed to know about Kimmie’s ability to connect to pets. Kimmie is very professional, reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend her.”
“Five stars for Jacqueline! She walks Toby 4 times a week for 1 month now and she brings so much peace of mind. Reading her sweet comments and seeing Toby's pictures makes it feel like I'm on their walk. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing he is so genuinely loved and cared for while I’m away. 🦮🐾”
“We hired Amanda on short nottice to walk our dog. She met us prior and was very friendly! We appreciated the long walks for our pup & could tell she really liked her.”

About: I have been responsible for caring for pets from a young age through my own animals, which helped me develop a strong love and understanding for pets of all kinds. For the past three years, I have also provided pet care services for many wonderful families in my community. I am experienced with daily care routines such as feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of attention. I am also comfortable caring for multiple pets at once! I’ll always strive to make your pets feel safe and loved while you are away. I am currently home from school for the summer, so I have open availability throughout the week and on weekends. I love spending time with animals and I have plenty of time to stay or stop by for visits, walks, feeding, or whatever else your fur babies may need while you’re away! While caring for pets in their home, I try to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable awhile their owners are away. I can follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other specific care needs. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention as they like. In addition to caring for your pets, I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I will keep it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I want to ensure your peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Brooke is amazing! She is so good with my pups. They are young and maybe a little wild, but Brooke is so patient with them. I have absolutely no worries when they are with her. I think they may enjoy walking with her even more than me! :) Brooke has been flexible and is very dependable. So glad we found her!”
About: I am a true dog lover. I work retail and actually love seeing and playing with all the dogs that come in rather than dealing with the customers. I have owned two black labs at different times in life. They kept me in shape and taught me how to spend much needed time with them ( they are very active and loyal dogs who love to spend every waking moment with you.) I don't have children but my lab is like my child. I watched my best friends dogs at various times, one of them had a list of medicines it had to take at various times of day and one with a seizure disorder who needed close watch. This is my true love in life, spending time with dogs. I have mornings available and mid to later evenings available. My schedule varies because I’m in retail but I always have time to fit in a walk or drop in early morning or mid to later evening . Pets in home are allowed in main living area and fences backyard. I can stay at owners residence if needed . Drop ins are also part of my service
About: Hiya! I’m Aundie, a fellow pet-parent with two doggos (a Corgi and an Australian Cattle Dog mix). I have been around dogs my whole life and enjoy a pups companion. I am available Thursday afternoon - Sunday for boarding drop-off and offer boarding for the rest of the days not listed. There may be times where I’ll need to step out for a few hours during the day to run errands, but majority of the day will be spent with the pups. I have a fenced backyard for your pup to freely run around in. Inside the house there are different types of doggy beds and two sized crates for when they want to snooze.
About: I have grown up around animals and currently have two cats and two dogs. I am very comfortable keeping pets entertained and well cared for. I am unable to board pets at my house but am available for walks, check ins, and house sitting. I have a very open schedule most days and would love to fill it with animal care! I can also take on repeat check-ins and walks. My dogs are very spoiled. One is very cuddly and one is on the go non stop. I enjoy utilizing enrichment activities for my pups. My cats are both very social and love to play but I grew up with cats and understand how quickly a cat can choose that they want space instead. I plan on providing the same care and attention I do for my pets for yours. If I were to house sit, id follow instructions provided and be very respectful to your home.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about our dog walker. She has gone far beyond simply taking my puppy out for walks — she has become an essential part of his growth, confidence, and training. From day one, she showed an incredible level of patience, knowledge, and genuine care. Not only does she handle walks with professionalism and consistency, but she has also taken the initiative to work on training during their time together. The progress I’ve seen in my puppy has been remarkable. Behaviors that once felt overwhelming are now improving every single week, and it’s because she puts in the time, attention, and expertise to guide him in the right direction. One of the things I appreciate most is how she empowers me as the owner. She regularly sends thoughtful recommendations, training tips, and resources so I can continue reinforcing good habits at home. It’s clear she truly wants my puppy to succeed, and she supports us both with so much encouragement and insight. Her communication is always excellent — I get updates, photos, and notes that make me feel completely at ease knowing my dog is in the best hands. She treats him with kindness and respect, and he absolutely adores her. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your dog’s well‑being, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has made such a positive impact on our lives, and I’m incredibly grateful for the care and dedication she brings.”
“Lindzi took great care of my dog when she walked him, played with him, and gave him a treat. He was happy and calm when I returned home. I would ask her to take care of him again without hesitation.”
About: I've taken care of family pets on and off since I was a teenager and currently have a mixed-breed dog named Dolly (who is 2 years old)! As a dog parent myself (especially to a high-energy one), I understand every dog has their own rhythm, preferences, and quirks. Punctuality, clear communication, and always returning your pet happy and exercised, are the main priorities (that's what I would want for Dolly!). With my current work schedule, I'm available for morning (6AM-11AM) and late afternoon/evening walks on Sundays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I would usually need at least 2 days notice to schedule. When walking your dog or entering your home, I’ll treat your space with care and respect. Always make sure the leash, harness, or any gates/doors are secured before and after walks! For the first few walks, I’ll take time to build trust and stick to familiar routes to keep a good comfort level. This also includes sharing quick notes and photos during all of our walks. My overall goal is simple: make sure your dog feels safe and is happy from start to finish!
About: As a dog owner for most of my life, I understand how important it is to trust your pet is in good hands when you're not present. I became a dog sitter to help provide pups with the love and attention they need! I’ve always helped friends out with dog sitting, and it’s been a great experience every time. I’ve owned or dog sat a variety of breeds over my life and am equally comfortable watching over a tiny Yorkie as I am with a 100lb Mastiff. I've worked in the arts industry for many years, but currently work in a regular Mon-Fri office job. I have remote work days combined with in-office. That means that I’m a good fit for dogs that need a little bit more attention or perhaps don’t like to spend too much time alone. Though I’ll be the primary caregiver, my wife likes to help out on occasion, and my 14 year old always enjoys a little playtime! (We do ask that all dogs that come to us be child-friendly.) We currently have one dog of our own: Jasmine, a nine-year-old Blue Heeler mix. Jasmine will lick you to death if allowed! Not only am I a fan of Cesar Milan (aka The Dog Whisperer), I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with him in my previous job capacity doing production management for his touring show. I definitely learned a thing or two from him, and really enjoyed speaking to him at length about how he handles dogs. We’ve incorporated some of his training techniques in our own home and know the value of good training techniques. We are currently based in Hutto. We have very nice neighbors, most of whom are friendly dog owners. It’s relatively quiet and low key for the most part, and, best of all, easily accessible to walking trails or drives to nearby dog parks. Our backyard is medium-sized: large enough for several dogs to run around and play but not so large that you ever lose sight of them. We have a large patio for shade and various rabbits & squirrels for barking at! I've worked in the arts industry for many years, but currently work in a regular Mon-Fri office job. I have remote work days combined with in-office. That means that I’m a good fit for dogs that need a little bit more attention when I'm working from home remotely. I am available both during the week and the weekends, schedule depends on client needs and my rotating work calendar and holidays. We have a fenced backyard for dogs to play in throughout the day & evening. Our crazy, lovable girl Jasmine likes good company to visit for some occasional quality playtime!
About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was a child and had a dog walking business with my sister. I would also volunteer regularly at a second chance animal schelter. I've always grown up with dogs and the occasional cat in my home. I currently am a dog mom to 2 little shih tzus who are my whole world! I am currently unemployed so I am available to take care of your pet when needed. I have a flexible schedule and can come take care of your pet multiple times a day. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. In a client's home, I maintain their pet's normal routine to help them feel secure and safe.

“Heather took incredible care of our puppy, Dobby, for two weeks while my wife and I were on vacation. From day one, it was clear that she treated him like one of her own. She was attentive, patient, and clearly very experienced with dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Dobby got plenty of playtime throughout the day with her two dogs and the other dogs she was caring for, which he absolutely loved. He came back happy, well-socialized, and clearly well cared for. She sent us daily photo updates that we genuinely looked forward to and that reassured us Dobby was safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was in such loving hands allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without any worry. We’re extremely grateful to Heather and would trust her again without hesitation. We couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog like family.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jeff and Jirapun taking care of our dog, Miley. They kept us updated throughout her stay with regular messages and plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Miley was well cared for and very comfortable with them. Thank you both for taking such great care of Miley. We truly appreciate your kindness and attention, and we’ll definitely look forward to leaving Miley with you again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Mina & Antony are the perfect pair to watch your beloved pet while you are away. I can rest assured knowing that my little one is in trusted hands. Regular updates and videos never fail to make me smile.”
“I left my 5 year old pup with Chad for around 40 days, Chad took really good care of my pup and he sent updates everyday. He also showered my pup and trimmed his paws. Whisky was clean and tidy on the day on pickup. I would definitely drop my pup again in future without any hesitation.”
“Kristina did a great job communicating and sending a lot of pictures! Tokyo seemed to have a great time with her pups. I will be booking again with her in the future!”
“Candi is awesome…even if she is out of your way you should let her watch your pup…she is super knowledgeable, kind and sweet and knew how much our angel could handle in terms of anxiety with meeting new dogs…highly recommended to all in the North part of Austin”

“We LOVE Courtney and her family. I really don't know what we would do without them. Im so very thankful that we found them awhile back. They always are our 1st go to. Dixie loves her dog Tanner, and so glad she has a friend to always play with.”
“Lynn and family loved on my out of practice/un-social girl and she came home actually wanting more interaction with more pups! We’re a fan and she’ll be a regular to come and enjoy some time away from home and have some interaction with other pups and humans to enjoy her need for socialization. Thank you for letting her warm up to the thought of being part of another pack for the week!”
“Impressed by Brandon’s care for my dog - Bella . Always available and more importantly flexible. A very nice dog care - taker who did not want to charge me when I was running late and wanted to pick her up next day. Thank you for kindness. Highly recommend.”

“Hannah took such amazing care of my girl Gracie! She sent pictures and videos every single day while we were gone, and it truly gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for the animals she watches. Honestly, it felt like my pup was on vacation too! I appreciate her so much and highly recommend her to anyone needing someone trustworthy and caring for their pets.”
“I am grateful that you accommodated our request for next morning boarding. Thank you for the flexibility. It looks like Shamu had a lot of fun with your dogs and kids. We were worry free during our trip. Will definitely hope you are available again next time we need a sitter.”
“Brittny is an amazing sitter! She’s super interactive, sends plenty of photos, and keeps me updated throughout my pup’s stay, so I always know how he’s doing. This is my third time booking with her, and my pit bull absolutely adores her. He always has a great time and I know he’s in excellent hands. Brittny is especially wonderful with bully breeds!”
