“We cannot say enough good things about Katy. Paps stayed for a multi week visit over Christmas and New Years and absolutely loved it.

We have trusted her with Paps for over a year now and always feel completely at ease knowing he is safe, happy, and well cared for.”

“Sophia and her family were spectacular at boarding and taking exceptional care of Molly. That included twice daily ear drops to tackle an ear infection. We received daily reports and photos that made it very clear that Molly was treated like she was part of the family. We sure appreciate the attention and care that Molly received.”
“Meredith and Lance once again did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs. They even managed to keep them entertained during a huge rain storm. They didn’t even want to come home they were so happy. Meredith communicated with me throughout their stay, send such cute picture and loved them like their own. Highly recommend!! Thanks y’all!”

“Leigh did such a great job!! She dropped in for kitty visits while we were out of state and sent pics of the refilled food and water bowls and cleaned litter box after each visit. She provided detailed updates and even vacuumed up kitty litter! Leigh is very kind, responsible, and responsive - we will definitely hire her again!!”
“Tricia was so great for us and took great care of our kitties! We have a bit of a unique situation at the moment with very specific instructions and Tricia was so accommodating and caring. Will absolutely have her check in on our cats again if she is able to. Thanks again, Tricia!”
“Jenny is absolutely amazing! I hired her to take care of my cats and she did the best job, sending pics of them and their clean litter boxes and food and water bowls. We also have a dog that a neighbor boy was caring for but Jenny let him out into the yard while she tended to the cats and gave him some love before she left. I’m super happy with the care she provided!”
“Thumbs up- I would rebook her again in a heartbeat. Fast communication! If it’s one thing I love when I’m away it’s knowing that I’ll get a response about how my fur babies are doing as soon as possible. Lisa texts back quickly and with details. Came back to happy and well fed kitties. She listens to instructions and left the house the way she found it.”
“Caleb did a good job of taking care of CoCo last minute and made sure he had food and water . However, we agreed on arrival between 2pm and 4pm, and he did not arrive until after 5pm, which caused me to worry about CoCo. He also brought someone else into the home without giving me a heads up, which made me uncomfortable.”
“Jordan did a phenomenal job with Ivy while we were away. She was prompt with her visits and we appreciated the detailed updates and photos. We will definitely book again for future travel!”
“Jessica was wonderful! Our two cats quickly warmed up to her and she cared for them exactly as I requested. The house was left in perfect condition and we came home to happy pets!”

“This is my third time booking Kaia, and she’s simply the best! She takes such wonderful care of my two cats treating them like her own and it’s clear they love her too ☺️ she’s caring, reliable, and always sends the sweetest updates and photos. I’ll absolutely be booking her again next time! 🫶🏼😸 thanks for everything!!”
“Susan did a great job of taking care of our two cats while we were away for the week. Having never met her before, the cats warmed up to her quickly and she was good with communication with us and left everything in great shape when we got back. We would definitely recommend Susan and will choose her to pet sit again.”
About: I have experience with one owner that has two cats. I would go over every other day (as requested by owner) to refill food, water, and clean out the litter box. I would cuddle and play with them too while I hung out for a little at the apartment.

“If you're scrolling & not sure who to choose...look no further. Leilani is the only pet sitter you need. An exceptional sitter who goes above and beyond. Her love for animals was obvious from the moment I contacted her. She treated my pet with so much care, patience, and genuine affection. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. I received thoughtful updates, and my pet was calm, comfortable, and well‑cared‑for when I picked her up. A true professional with a big heart. Mario”
About: I work from home, so I'm home all day with our mini Labradoodle—and I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog as well! I walk Luke twice during the work day and have a fenced yard where your pet can play safely. I look forward to the chance to meet your pup! I work from home during the week, which gives me the flexibility to take your pet on regular walks and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a nearby dog park in our neighborhood, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for exercise and socialization. I know how important it is to keep them active, happy, and engaged.
“Our little Monty had a great day with Tricia. We recently moved to Austin and Monty has been through much upheaval over the last year or so. He hasn't met many new people or other dogs yet and we were a little apprehensive leaving him in a new environment. Well, when we picked him up at the end of the day, he was totally calm and his tail was wagging like crazy. Monty was one happy little guy and not at all stressed out. Tricia kept him close and made him feel very comfortable and secure. She's the perfect sitter!”
“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!”
“Our puppies absolutely love Erica! She is a truly wonderful person and really loves and cares about animals. She is so attentive and works with them on training and getting used to other dogs. We love our weekly time with her!”
“Lily was awesome and such a big help!! The first lady i had booked with canceled the night before, so i messaged lily at 12a needing daycare at 5a and she was able to help me out for the following 3 days! She sent pictures of him and took him on walks! !! 10/10 recommended !!! def will be booking with her in the future!!”
“Mercedes and her daughter were very welcoming and friendly with Tinker. We had quite a hassle free experience in communicating with them during drop off and pick up. We are definitely looking forward to drop Tinker with them again in future.”
“Our pup Alfie recently spent the day with Stephanie and we were very pleased with his stay. Our boy hasn't met a lot of people yet so he was a little anxious when we dropped him off. Stephanie kept us updated throughout the day and our boy finally settled in after an hour. We really appreciated her updates and we could tell she was very knowledgeable about the behavior of dogs. We will be using Stephanie for all of our doggy boarding needs. Thank you!”
About: I grew up on a farm and have been an animal lover my whole life. My parents called me the dog whisperer growing up because I was the only one our dogs would listen to. We had cats also, as well as horses, cows, pigs, even a donkey. I look forward to being your fill in parent to your fur baby when you are away! I work from home and will be with your fur baby most of the day for in home pet sitting. With to my work from home schedule, I have flexibility to fill your individual needs. I have a large fenced yard for your pups to frolic if you want pet sitting at my home. If at your home, I will meticulously follow your instructions for your pet's care.
About: Years of experience & our loving home available when your special pet needs company for play, sitting around or necessary exercise for our mature pets. Routine care and sitting provided and with little to no effort in their care. The care-free attitude to life has always challenged me on how to care for cats. I have a large home & a fenced front and back yard. Very private residence far from city hustle and bustle noise and dangers. Gated lake front community.
“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: I’ve cared for dogs for more than 35 years, but my experience goes well beyond owning pets. For two years, I was one of the general managers of Care for Dogs, a large rescue organization in Chiang Mai, Thailand, caring for roughly 200 dogs with a team of about 20 employees, volunteers and visiting veterinarians. My role covered nearly every part of rescue operations: daily care, medications, veterinary appointments, fostering, adoption placement, behavioral evaluation, rehabilitation and end-of-life care. I personally fostered approximately 30–40 dogs and helped place more dogs into permanent homes than I can count. I also coordinated the international relocation of roughly 20 rescue dogs from Thailand to adoptive homes around the world, handling veterinary requirements, health documentation, vaccinations, airline logistics, crates, travel arrangements and adopter coordination. I’m especially comfortable with dogs who need more attention than the average pet sitter may be accustomed to. I have extensive hands-on experience with senior dogs, anxious and fearful dogs, rescue dogs, dogs recovering from surgery and dogs with ongoing medical needs. My experience includes administering oral and topical medications, injections and subcutaneous fluids; assisting veterinarians during procedures; wound and post-operative care; mobility assistance; cones, bandages and stitches; overnight monitoring; hospice and end-of-life care; and recognizing behavioral or physical changes that may require veterinary attention. I’m also very experienced reading canine body language and working patiently with frightened, undersocialized, reactive or previously abused dogs. Building trust with a nervous dog is something I genuinely enjoy and am very good at. I am not a veterinarian or veterinary technician, and I never pretend to be one. I follow veterinary and owner instructions carefully and know when something is outside my role and requires professional medical attention. For owners of senior, special-needs or medically complicated dogs, I’m happy to provide detailed updates including medications, meals, bathroom activity, behavior, photos and changes I observe. I offer boarding, house sitting, daycare, drop-in visits and walks. I have reliable transportation and can assist with emergency veterinary transportation when authorized. I do not accept dogs with aggression toward people, dogs, or cats, or dogs that are not house-trained. Dogs have been a major part of my life for decades. I understand their behavior, their health and, most importantly, how different every dog can be. My goal is simple: when your dog is with me, you should feel confident that someone experienced, observant and genuinely invested in their wellbeing is looking after them. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so dogs in my care get plenty of attention throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. My partner also works from home, which means there is usually someone here, and dogs are generally never left alone for more than three hours. For dogs who need closer supervision because of age, medical needs, anxiety, recovery from surgery or other special circumstances, I can also arrange 24/7 monitoring for an additional fee. We live in a quiet lake community on Lake Austin, so our days can include neighborhood walks, Lakeway trails, Lakeway Park and plenty of relaxed time at home. For dogs who genuinely enjoy the water, and only with your approval, I can also offer swimming, lake outings or even a boat ride. I’m happy to customize your dog’s routine around what makes them comfortable, including feeding schedules, medications, frequent potty breaks, slower walks, mobility needs and extra one-on-one attention for shy, sensitive or senior dogs. My two dogs are Enzo, a mellow 10-year-old neutered Golden Retriever, and Bella, a sweet 2-year-old spayed Great Pyrenees mix. Both are gentle and friendly with other animals, and their calm personalities often help visiting dogs settle in. I also have a dog-friendly vehicle set up with ramps, beds and plenty of room for comfortable transportation. Basic grooming such as brushing and simple cleanups can also be provided when needed. Safety, Trust & Environment I live in a single-story home in a quiet Lake Austin community with a grassy, fully fenced yard. The one-story layout is especially helpful for senior dogs, large breeds and dogs with mobility limitations who may have difficulty navigating stairs. My home is shared with Enzo, my 10-year-old neutered Golden Retriever, and Bella, my 2-year-old spayed Great Pyrenees mix. Both are mellow, social dogs who are comfortable around other animals and tend to create a relaxed atmosphere for visiting dogs. I take introductions seriously and give every new dog time and space to adjust. I pay close attention to body language, stress signals, eating, drinking, bathroom habits, mobility and changes in behavior. With my rescue background, I’m particularly comfortable with dogs who are shy, anxious, older, recovering from medical procedures or simply need a little more patience. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and can maintain specific feeding, medication, exercise and recovery routines. I’m also comfortable providing detailed updates about meals, medications, bathroom activity, behavior and anything unusual I notice. Dogs are never pushed into activities they do not enjoy. Walks, swimming, lake outings, interactions with other dogs and other activities are always based on the individual dog’s temperament, health, abilities and your instructions. My goal is to make my home feel less like boarding and more like staying with experienced family.

About: Hi, I’m Alena — a mom of four wonderful children, a travel enthusiast, and a lifelong animal lover. I grew up surrounded by pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs, and spent much of my childhood wishing I could be Dr. Dolittle. For more than a decade, I shared my home with three cats, and over the years I’ve gained extensive experience caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. I previously fostered dogs through Austin Pets Alive and have spent many vacations caring for pets through TrustedHousesitters. I’m comfortable administering prescription medications to both cats and dogs, as well as handling basic grooming needs. Today, I share my home with two cats and two dogs. For the comfort and safety of all pets, my dogs live separately from any boarding guests. Boarding dogs stay on the upper floor and do not interact with my pets. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets, get to know their unique personalities, and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible work schedule, so I’m available to board your pet any day of the week. I would love to take your dogs for a walk, too! For boarding, I provide a safe space and a pet bed in my bedroom, separately from my own pets. Dogs have free reign in the fenced backyard and enjoy walks around the neighborhood twice a day, ranging from 10 min to 2 hours, depending on their needs.
About: I'm very loving w/ dogs, and provide them lots of attention and care. I love going for runs, and cuddling with the dogs, I am very organized and will be sure to never miss a feeding, or walk.

“Tricia was great, she went above and beyond to make sure that our two dogs had a great walk, and that she was walking them the way that we like to train them. 5 stars!”
About: Hi, I'm Kimberly! My husband and I recently relocated to Bee Cave from Philadelphia, and I'm excited to meet some new four-legged friends in the area. Dogs have been an important part of my life for most of my adult life. I currently have two of my own, London, a Boston Terrier, and Soco, an American Eskimo. Before London, we had a Shepherd mix who was rescued from the streets of the Cayman Islands and was part of our family for 13 wonderful years. I have also spent time caring for and interacting with my husband's Doberman, so I'm comfortable around dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. London has a special story of her own. We brought her home in May 2025 after she spent her life on a farm as a breeder. Walks, toys, and being a family dog were all completely new to her. Helping her learn to enjoy those everyday experiences taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog's individual personality can be. Over the years, I have also regularly helped friends and neighbors with their dogs, including walking neighborhood dogs and pet sitting while owners were away. While these started as favors for people I knew, they gave me valuable experience caring for dogs other than my own and understanding the importance of following each owner's routine and instructions. Through Rover, I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. I have full availability and can provide daytime walks and visits as well as overnight care. Walks can include exercise, exploring the neighborhood, plenty of time for sniffing, and enjoying the outdoors at your dog's own pace. Drop-in visits can include potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. For overnight stays, my goal is to keep your dog comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you're away. I understand that every dog is different. Some are ready to run and play the moment you arrive, while others need a little time to warm up. My experience with London has taught me to be patient, attentive, and responsive to what each dog needs. Communication is very important to me. As a dog owner, I know how reassuring it is to receive photos and updates when you're away from your pets. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing how your dog is doing while they're in my care. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to treat every dog like one of my own and provide dependable, loving care that gives you peace of mind while you're away. My schedule is open to accommodate your needs on a daily basis. I know how life happens so I am flexible to meet the needs of my clients. I live in a very dog friendly community that is fenced in entirely. There is a dog park on site as well we well as the Bee Cave dog park within a short walk.

From caring for litters of 11 puppies to managing up to 8 dogs at a time in the home, I am well equipped to help you care for your pups. My experience working in a veterinary setting has set me up to help manage medication administration and postoperative care. I care for pets full time. I have openings for walks and drop-ins early mornings, late afternoons and evenings Monday-Saturday. My availability for sitting is pretty open at the moment.

About: I have always loved fur animals! I was raised having dogs in the home and helping with neighbor pets when I was available. I am trained to care for puppies, small to medium-size dogs and cats. I do work full-time during the week but flexible with timely bookings and advanced notice. I do believe in giving the pets all the tenderness, love, and care they deserve. I do work full-time during the week and do commute daily. However, the early evenings are my available time. I do often have 3 day weekends and open to checking and being with the pets if needed. I do ask to have some flexibility to run errands, and I do attend classes on the weekends if scheduled. I am a grad student. I treat the client's home as my own. I am a very clean, tidy and responsible person. I am open to overnight visits but do request some flexibility depending on my schedule. I am open and available to walk pets as needed once I am back from work or not attending classes.
About: Love pitties! Own one myself :) Get along and love all type of dogs. Had passion for fur babies from early age. Growing up I'd just bring stray dogs home. Skills: I train dogs, can give meds, have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I'm currently in between jobs therefore have full availability Mon-Thur during morning, daytime and evenings. I also could be available some weekends if we schedule ahead of time. I go off of your requirements. Safety first, if I'm walking your dog, I'm definitely putting it on the leash. I have lots of experience of caring for dogs. I'm good at training and giving commands. I grew up with Rottweiler, Amstaffs, German Shepherd and nuts. Personally own pitbulls for over a decade. My secret is love, treats and discipline.
About: I didn’t set out to become a dog sitter; it just happened naturally. A friend needed help with their dog, then a neighbor, then a coworker. Ten years later, I’m still doing it, and still loving every minute of it. What I’ve learned from caring for dozens of dogs over the years is that every single one is different. Some need a lot of stimulation and adventure. Some need calm reassurance and a gentle hand. I’ve worked with big dogs and tiny ones, young puppies and senior pups, social butterflies and dogs who take a while to warm up. The ones who take a while to warm up are honestly my favorites. I treat every home I enter and every dog I care for with the same respect and attention I’d want for my own. You’ll always know how your dog is doing. I send photos and updates throughout every visit because I know that’s what matters most when you’re away. My sweet spot is Wednesday evenings through the weekend, that’s when I’m most available and love filling my schedule with new pups! I’m flexible and quick to respond, so if you’re not sure whether I’m free, just message me. Chances are, I can make it work! Good news, I come to you! All of my services take place in your home, which means your pup never has to leave their safe space. I bring the love, you provide the couch. During house sits, your dog runs the show; furniture, bed, all of it is fair game. I’m there to make sure they feel like nothing has changed, just with a new best friend temporarily in charge. I handle medication, special routines, anxious personalities, and everything in between without batting an eye. Your home gets treated like my own tidy, respected, and exactly how you left it. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I know where the nearest 24-hour vets in Austin are and will always prioritize your dog’s safety. The bottom line? Your dog will be so comfortable they might not even miss you. Almost.

About: I have taken care of multiple different types of dogs. From small to medium size cattle dog. I have reoccurring clients as well. I currently live with 3 dogs so i’m not unaware of all things that go with taken care of those guys. I have also had dogs in my family my entire life and have been responsible for taking care of them while my family is away. I have experience staying at the clients home and walking the dog at least twice a day along with as many potty breaks as I can do. I don’t currently have a job so I’m pretty flexible! I just moved back to Austin from Portland, Oregon so I can be closer to my family. I grew up in Austin so I know my way around. I care for the pet exactly how the client does and shows me at initial meeting. I cuddle and play with the dog if they want it. I take them on walks and watch tv together in the evening or on weekends. For walks, I use treats to help with any triggers we might run into.
About: I have had dogs all my life but currently don’t have any of my own. This allows me to have more flexibility to spend time with your dogs. I work out of my home and have a flexible schedule, 7 days/week. I can keep your pet at my house or I can come and go, or stay at your pet’s home. I have a fenced backyard and I can also crate your dog. I am flexible to do what is the most comfortable for your dog.

“Absolutely adore Alex!! She took such incredible care of our dog, and it is so clear that she genuinely loves animals. Alex instantly connected with our dog which helped our pup feel right at home. She would talk so sweetly to him and sent us the best picture updates that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Excellent care, attentive and responsive with an incredible space for puppies!! Ours was a bit of work but Patrick was great with communication and care for our six month old pup! Not to mention his home is better than any B&B you'll find in Austin! I think our doggie had a better vacation than we did which is just the way you want it!! Thank you Patrick and family!!!”
