Personalized care for your dog or cat - Martindale
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Martindale
“Olivia took wonderful care of our pup while we were out of town. She was so communicative, she provided updates around feeding times, complete with pictures. She provided lots of opportunities for exercise and our pup made new friends with her dogs. Will definitely look to get again on our next trip.”
“Iuliia was fantastic and really helped us out over Thanksgiving by caring for our elderly Golden Retriever. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout our trip. We returned to a calm, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend her for professional, dependable pet care.”
“Anthony’s space is set up great for dogs and he was super responsive to every message! My dog can be a little wild but he handled his behavior and kept him feeling happy! :)”
“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 😊”
“We left our dog Stanley with Edwin and his wonderful family for a 9-day stay, and they did a fantastic job! Edwin kept us updated with photos and messages, showing Stanley eating, getting brushed, going on walks, and settling in. Anytime I checked in, Edwin was quick to respond and always communicative. We had a great feeling about the stay after a meet-and-greet with Edwin and his family a week before our trip. From the moment we arrived, Edwin took the leash and was confidently in control of Stanley. We’ve done meet-and-greets before where the sitter gives your dog a few pats and focuses more on chatting with you. This was more like a test drive, where Edwin paid close attention to how Stanley handled the new environment. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they took the responsibility seriously and that Stanley would be well cared for while we were away. Stanley is pretty easy going... until it thunders. Then he becomes very anxious. Unfortunately, there were a few storms while we were away. We left medication to help, but it takes awhile to kick in and it sometimes only takes the edge off. If you have a dog like this, you feel pretty helpless during these storms. There is no magic fix. You make them as comfortable as possible, but the only way "out" is getting through the storm. Edwin was proactive with the medication, and along with his family, helped Stanley ride out those storms as well as we could have ourselves. We’re grateful to Edwin and his family for taking such great care of Stanley and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Lauren and her pooch were exceptional. My pup was well taken care of, loved on and came home happy and exhausted from puppy play. I will surely be contacting Lauren again if I need to head out of town without my dog. Thanks again for everything!”
“Molly loves her time with Denise. I felt nervous about dropping her off the first time but she became fast friends with Denise and her family. Denise kept me posted on a daily basis and put my mind at ease.”
“Grace & Allen went above & beyond to make sure our boy Buster had an amazing time with them and that we felt confident & secure that we left him in good hands. They asked lots of questions to make sure he was taken care of the exact same way he is at home and seemed very knowledgeable and passionate. Buster loved playing with their sweet dogs and they sent us tons of adorable pictures throughout his stay as well as a goodie bag with treats in it when we picked him up :) Fantastic people (and dogs), Buster is already asking to go back again!”
“Mercedes was great! She kept me updated and sent pictures! She took very well care of my Jackson and we were happy to have booked her! Will definitely be booking her again!!”
“Gabriel and Savannah were so great with both of my dogs! They were quick to respond and sent updates and pictures every single day! They looked like they were having the time of their life in every photo 🥹 My two dogs aren’t the easiest to handle and they handled them flawlessly! I will 100% be booking them again and feel very comfortable with my dogs in their hands!”
“Queso also comes back super happy and super tired from all the play time she gets while she is there! Marcel was super helpful when my flight home kept unfortunately getting delayed and had no issues with keeping my her a tad longer than originally intended.”
“We love-love-love working with Robyn and Desmond for boarding our Zadie. They are so easy to work with, clearly love the dogs in their care, and send updates that show how much fun Zadie is having at their house. Highly recommend!”
“It was so reassuring to know that our dog was with patches and her little pack while we were on our trip! We got lots of reassuring updates, and we could tell that she stayed calm and had great access to a lovely grassy yard. We are all very appreciative and look forward to our next visit!”
“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!”

Cat caregivers near you - Martindale
“Lindsey went above and beyond to make sure my 2 cats were comfortable and taken care of. She entertained them, made sure my cat was taking his medication, and provided photos and detailed updates while I was out of town. It felt great to know they were in such good hands. Would absolutely book her again!”
“Victoria was amazing, she took care of our cat while we were on vacation and was very accommodating to our needs. She updated us daily with pictures and videos, would definitely want her to look after our kitty again!”
“Had a family emergency and had make a quick trip and was so glad Taylor had the availability to come with a less than 24 hr notice. They did everything I asked for and more like water my plants and cleaned any messes Asher made.”
“Best sitter ever! Our cat loves her, our dogs love her. We love her. We always feel so grateful that sure takes such good care of our babies when we can’t be home with them.”
“Elizabeth was awesome! She was super accommodating with our schedule and really easy to work with. She’s super nice and got along with our cat really well. Made the whole thing stress free. Highly recommend!”
“Brandy was absolutely wonderful with Mia! She took such great care of her, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mia was in such loving and attentive hands. It’s clear Brandy truly cares about the pets she looks after, and that means everything to us. We’re so happy to have found such a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Reagan was very friendly, professional, and accommodating. Her visits were timely and reliable, and my cat warmed up to her right away. When I needed to make some last minute changes, Reagan was very helpful. I was very pleased with the experience and will be booking with her again.”
“Kate was amazing with our newly adopted cat, Raya, coaxing her out of her hiding spot and paying special attention to her. She took care of the food and litter box and kept us up to date with great photos and updates.”
“Krystal was a fantastic pet-sitter for our two cats over the Thanksgiving holiday. She sent lots of pictures each visit and gave them lots of attention and play-time. One of our cats has medical needs, including an oral medication and twice-daily injection. I worry about him sometimes when I am not able to take care of him myself, but Krystal made me feel at ease: her experience as a vet tech means she is already very familiar with how to administer medications, so I was able to feel confident that she had it handled! Krystal was flexible, super fast to respond to messages, and always put the priority on keeping the cats as happy and healthy as possible. Moving forward, we will be booking Krystal to care for our cats whenever we are out of town.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Martindale
About: Hi, I’m Kate! I actively foster rescue dogs through the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter (SMRAS) and have previously fostered with BARC Animal Shelter in Houston. I have a special place in my heart for pitties and rescue dogs, but I love dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog wants to play fetch for hours, nap on the couch, follow me from room to room, or pretend they’ve never been fed a day in their life, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and needs. Fair warning: you may receive an unreasonable number of pet photos. P.S. 🤭 If your pet is a little outside the norm, feel free to ask! I’ve also cared for rabbits, horses, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons. My days already revolve around animals. Between fostering rescue dogs and pet sitting, your pet won’t be squeezed into my schedule—they’ll be a part of it, too. I care deeply about the pets in my care and work hard to earn both their trust and yours every step of the way, always.
“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!”
“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!!”
“Stephanie and Fern are the best pet sitters! They're friendly and always keeps us updated with plenty of pictures and videos! Its more like doggie camp for Grover because hes never bored and is always on an adventure! If you want your dog to have the best day while youre away, use Stephanie!”
“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.”

“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!”
About: With 10 years of hands-on experience in caring for animals, I am passionate about providing the best care and attention to pets. I thrive in environments where I can be surrounded by animals, and their presence genuinely enhances my day. My goal is to pursue a career as a veterinarian, where I can continue to care for and improve the lives of pets. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being of all animals and am eager to contribute my expertise and love for pets to a professional setting. I’m currently on summer break and available full-time for pet care until school starts back in August. This gives me a flexible schedule to provide dedicated attention, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day based on your pet’s needs. I have a dedicated space in my home for the pets I care for, complete with toys for playtime and a designated feeding area. I also have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. I always make sure pets are fed at the times requested and that they have fresh water available at all times. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while maintaining your pet’s regular routine.
About: I love animals. I've had 2 dogs at all times for the last 22yrs. and a few cats. I live in a large 2 bdrm Apt with my 3 sweet Chihuahuas. I am a dog person and this is a dog house. Plenty of room for a few more to play with. My dogs are friendly. We have a dog park on the property. There are only small dogs here as it is a Senior Living. I will walk your dogs around the complex and they can safely play in dog park area. I'm retired for now and spend all my time with my dogs. Your pet will have all our attention. I am open and flexible to any special request you might have. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend. I’m a full time dog Mom. When I wake up I am dressed and out the door walking with them. Then we. One home and eat breakfast. Playtime for a few hours inside and we go out again. I am very interactive with my dogs and any dogs I am sitting for. I have a large 2 bedroom apartment without the clutter so they can run around and out on patio. Outside for walks and at the dog playground.
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.
“We had a wonderful experience with our Yan! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“This was my first time having a babysitter, and I’m so glad we found Sahara! She was so accommodating and on top with communicating updates on Astrid. So grateful to have found her!”

I have a 2 year old spayed friendly Frenchie girl who is very well socialized and loves to play! We live in a one story home, with a fenced in yard and a doggy park nearby.
About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and caring for animals is something I truly love.

“Her services were amazing and caring. Kept us communicated timely. We would love to use her service in the future and highly recommend as well. My dog, Yaga, loves Victoria!”
“Lindsey was great with Lili, very communicative, prompt, reliable and knowledgeable of the breed (French Bulldog). Will definitely be using her again in the future! :)”
“Andrew has been amazing! He’s so personable and reliable, and I have zero worries when he’s walking my dog. I’m definitely a very anxious dog mom, especially since my dog is 75 pounds and can pull hard on the leash, but Andrew is incredibly patient and handles him with no problem at all. Even when my dog decides to be a little stubborn and a jerk, Andrew is always calm, kind, and attentive. He truly puts me at ease and makes sure my dog is well taken care of. He’s also very flexible and accommodating, which I really appreciate. I’m so grateful to have found him!”
“It has been wonderful finding Krystal. I used to use Wag, but I don't like getting a different person each walk most of the time. It's nice to be able to use the same person so they get to know your pet(s) and their quirks. Krystal is great with dogs- helpful, intuitive, caring and a genuine animal lover. She will be hearing plenty more from me going forward. My boys love her.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat of my own, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my daily routine. I’m very patient, responsible, and attentive to pets’ needs and personalities. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their pets with someone they can trust. I have experience with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, basic grooming, administering simple medications, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also comfortable caring for both energetic pets and older animals that may need a calmer environment and extra patience. Since I live in a pet-friendly apartment, I’m able to provide a safe and welcoming space for pets to feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a college student with a part-time job, so pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. My schedule is flexible throughout the week, especially during mornings, afternoons, and weekends depending on my classes and work shifts. I make sure pets receive consistent attention, care, walks, feeding, and playtime while they’re with me. I’m organized and dependable, and I always prioritize making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment and always make sure pets are in a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special instructions provided by the owner. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel secure and stress-free. I’m careful with doors, feeding instructions, walks, and supervision, and I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care.
About: I have always had an innate connection with all living creatures. I grew up on a farm from a very young age and have become very adept at caring for all types of animals. I have pet-sit for six years now for various families, and I treat each animal with the same love I would for my own. It truly is a joy to help! I have raised my own puppy as well & have learned so much from my aunt who graces me with her dog trainer knowledge. I have grown so much even from my first bookings on this app & strive to give the love & aim to give an ample routine to your pets needs. I promise to give you quality care & outstanding communication if you choose to book with me! Thank you ◡̈ I am currently studying on an online masters program for clinical psychology. So I have plenty of time to care for your animals & give them all that extra love! I live in a two story home in blanco river village with a fenced yard. I have plenty of space to accommodate whatever needs your pet needs. I currently have no animals of my own.
About: My life has been defined by a deep connection to animals, from growing up in a multi-pet household of dogs and cats to exploring the intricate world of aquarium keeping. This lifelong passion eventually evolved into a professional focus; I am currently a graduate student in Psychology and am personally training my own service dog, Disco. My experience goes beyond basic pet sitting; I understand canine behavior, the importance of positive reinforcement, and the necessity of a calm, structured environment. Whether I’m managing a high-energy dog, a senior pet with a strict medication schedule, or even a delicate aquatic setup, I bring a researcher's attention to detail and a lifelong lover's heart to every home. I’ve spent years caring for the pets of friends and family, and I look forward to providing that same expert, reliable care for your companions. Pet care is the foundation of my daily life. As a service dog handler, I live and breathe animal behavior and routine. My day is built around structured walks, training reinforcement, and clear communication. While I balance my graduate studies and work, my school breaks are dedicated to providing high-quality, attentive care for your pets. Because I am used to the responsibility of a working dog, I bring that same level of discipline and reliability to your pet’s schedule, ensuring they feel secure and cared for in a low-stress, organized environment. I provide a calm, supervised environment where your pet’s safety is the top priority. I am accompanied by my service dog, Disco, who is expertly trained to be neutral and respectful of other animals' space. This often provides a wonderful, stabilizing social environment for the pets I watch. I am meticulous about feeding and exercise schedules, and I am particularly mindful of safety—for example, avoiding noon-day heat to protect paws and prevent overheating. Whether we are in my home or yours, I maintain a 'safety-first' mentality, ensuring all environments are secure and all interactions are positive.
“Kristina was great. She accepted my request with only three days advanced notice. When she came to meet my dogs they loved her and in talking to each other we found that we live a few blocks from each other and we have common interests. I received pictures and could see the the path that the walks were taken on. Couldn't be more pleased. Will definitely remember her for future bookings.”
“Brady has a true love for dogs. My boy just adores her. She did great with him and wasn’t the least bit phased by his breed and size. She was great with him!! Definitely, plan on booking with her again.”

I currently work a part-time retail job, but I still have a extremely flexible schedule and can be available when needed. Day, night, morning, I am available. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions carefully so pets feel secure and stress-free while their owner is away. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos
About: Hi! My name is Risa! I had a Labrador growing up, she was sweet and rambunctious. During Covid, I fostered a malnourished dog until he went to his forever home! Currently, I’m dog walking full time! I’ve fostered dogs before, but don’t have any pets currently. I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking every day! I love hiking and walking, so can happily take dogs for long walks. I want to have a great time hanging out with your furry friends
“Elizabeth was so fantastic with our nervous doggo: she gave through updates with great pictures. Our dog obviously warmed right up to her! Reliable ❤️ We’d for sure book her again!”
About: Can do basic commands and work on being able to walk calmly on a leash. Active and outdoorsy, more than willing to go the extra step to make sure your doggo gets vitamin D Currently looking for a waitressing job to stack on top of this. I have juggled both before and can easily put in the time, effort and care for what you're paying I currently do not have pets, thus why I have come to rely on this job to fill that void and lack of furry friends. Love and positive playtime is a must!
About: As a former pet owner myself, and as someone who wants to be a veterinarian, I promise your little ones will be in great hands and will be treated as if they were my own fur babies :) I am currently a full time college student whose day ends at 4 everyday from Monday through Thursday, but I can watch your pets all afternoon and on weekends! I have plenty of space in my apartment for your pets to roam around comfortably and my apartment has a dog park that I can take them too when we go out on walks around the block.
About: Hi! My name is Cydney and I have lived in the area for 5 years. I originally moved here for school and recently graduated from Texas State. I have a passion for animals and love making new furry friends! I have over 300 hours of volunteer experience in animal shelters walking, administering medication, and simply loving dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I am also a certified veterinarian assistant in the state of Texas. I cannot wait to meet your dog and give them a wag! I currently work full time 8-5pm. I can stop by for drop-in visits in the mid-afternoons and evenings to make sure everything is okay with your loved one! I will treat your animals with the best care available and always make sure they are loved and taken care of. I want the best for your loved one and will do my best to deliver!

“Iuliia was fantastic and really helped us out over Thanksgiving by caring for our elderly Golden Retriever. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout our trip. We returned to a calm, well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend her for professional, dependable pet care.”
“Anthony’s space is set up great for dogs and he was super responsive to every message! My dog can be a little wild but he handled his behavior and kept him feeling happy! :)”
“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 😊”
“We left our dog Stanley with Edwin and his wonderful family for a 9-day stay, and they did a fantastic job! Edwin kept us updated with photos and messages, showing Stanley eating, getting brushed, going on walks, and settling in. Anytime I checked in, Edwin was quick to respond and always communicative. We had a great feeling about the stay after a meet-and-greet with Edwin and his family a week before our trip. From the moment we arrived, Edwin took the leash and was confidently in control of Stanley. We’ve done meet-and-greets before where the sitter gives your dog a few pats and focuses more on chatting with you. This was more like a test drive, where Edwin paid close attention to how Stanley handled the new environment. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they took the responsibility seriously and that Stanley would be well cared for while we were away. Stanley is pretty easy going... until it thunders. Then he becomes very anxious. Unfortunately, there were a few storms while we were away. We left medication to help, but it takes awhile to kick in and it sometimes only takes the edge off. If you have a dog like this, you feel pretty helpless during these storms. There is no magic fix. You make them as comfortable as possible, but the only way "out" is getting through the storm. Edwin was proactive with the medication, and along with his family, helped Stanley ride out those storms as well as we could have ourselves. We’re grateful to Edwin and his family for taking such great care of Stanley and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Molly loves her time with Denise. I felt nervous about dropping her off the first time but she became fast friends with Denise and her family. Denise kept me posted on a daily basis and put my mind at ease.”
“Grace & Allen went above & beyond to make sure our boy Buster had an amazing time with them and that we felt confident & secure that we left him in good hands. They asked lots of questions to make sure he was taken care of the exact same way he is at home and seemed very knowledgeable and passionate. Buster loved playing with their sweet dogs and they sent us tons of adorable pictures throughout his stay as well as a goodie bag with treats in it when we picked him up :) Fantastic people (and dogs), Buster is already asking to go back again!”
“Queso also comes back super happy and super tired from all the play time she gets while she is there! Marcel was super helpful when my flight home kept unfortunately getting delayed and had no issues with keeping my her a tad longer than originally intended.”
“We love-love-love working with Robyn and Desmond for boarding our Zadie. They are so easy to work with, clearly love the dogs in their care, and send updates that show how much fun Zadie is having at their house. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Took amazing care of our boy, sent regular picture and message updates of walks / chill time etc and obviously treated him like a member of the family. He’s home and happy and I know he’d be supper comfortable there again.”
“Youna and Nick took great care of my senior dog while I was away for a weekend - they are extremely communicative and friendly and I am so grateful to have found them! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible Dogsitter!”
“She was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She kept me updated often with messages, pictures, and little moments throughout the day, which truly gave me peace of mind. It was clear my dog was not only well taken care of, but genuinely loved while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive, communicative, and thoughtful she was the entire time. You can tell she truly cares about the pets she watches. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“Ashley did a great job! We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with her. We met previous to the stay and she was very professional. She kept us updated with photos, a video, and comments about how our dog was settling in. Great experience and we absolutely recommend her!!”
