“Kyle, hands down, is the most enthusiastic, personable, caring, and attentive sitter! When Boyd goes over to his "resort', an acre or so of room to play with pals, jump in the pool or lay down in a baby pool, (water dog that he is) he has the absolute best time! Sometimes Kyle has 5 'guests', other times, more. There's always buddies to run and play with and hyper Boyd comes home exhausted!!! And Kyle is great at sending lots of action photos! !I am so happy to have discovered Kyle!”
“Olivia took great care of my dog while I was out of town! She was very communicative and sent me plenty of photos to keep me updated about my pup. I would definitely recommend her for your dog boarding needs.”
“Amber is the BEST dog sitter. She loves my dog like she is her own. Amber sends photos and videos so I can see my dog is happy! My dog loves her so much that she will try to jump out of the car when we pull up!”
“Lilia was great! She was very responsive and sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay. I could tell that my pups really enjoyed their stay and were well taken care of. Thanks again!!”
“Great communication and response time. My dog can be picky about being away from me but seemed to have a great time. Would definitely come back for further services!”
“So grateful to have found Gabriel and Savannah! So communicative and lots of updates and photos during Charlie’s stay. This was my second time booking with them and when we arrived at their home and Charlie saw Gabriel he started crying with excitement and couldn’t wait to jump out of the car to see him! He definitely enjoys his time with them and their pup! Thank you both so much.”
“Adriana is the only person I let my anxious dog, Maggie, stay with! Mags is pretty anxious and takes a minute to warm up to people. Adriana always does a great job at keeping her comfortable and happy. She’s always sending me pictures of how happy Mag is with her which always makes me feel so much better. She also brings Mag back with cute bandanas and treats which is a plus! Highly highly recommend!”
“Kelly was great with my dog Opal. She was very communicative and sent me pictures of her every day while I was on my trip which gave me such a peace of mind. I’m always appreciative when I can see what my lil pup is up to. She loves to sunbathe and Kelly had a very nice yard that she could run around and play in the sun. She was very attentive and took great care of her.”
“My two German shepherds had a great time with Iuliia during their two week stay. They are high energy and a lot to deal with. I believe they received excellent care and will definitely have them stay with Iuliia again. They got to meet a handful of other dogs. It was much better than having them at a traditional boarder where they would be in a kennel most of the day. I received many great photos and videos during their stay. Thank you!”
“Luca absolutely loves Desmond and Robyn! We’ve used them a handful of times and Luca comes back so exhausted from all of the playing. The updates are amazing and communication incredible. We’ll continue bringing Luca back thank you!!”
“Mariana was fantastic! Honey came home from her stay happy and healthy. She even had a little bandana and a goodie bag for dogs! Mariana was a good communicator from the beginning and throughout the stay. We look forward to our next visit!”
“Elizabeth was great with my dog Opal! She tried different techniques to help calm her down as Opal can be very anxious around other dogs — I felt very at ease while I was away on my trip and she made sure to update me on how she was doing.”
“Fern had a wonderful time playing with your dogs. She will definitely stay again in future. She got lots of snuggles and I received updates with photos during her stay.”
“Gracie is the BEST! My original sitter canceled last minute, and she swooped in within an hour to save the day (and my birthday trip). She sent lots of great pictures, her house was very clean, and she was the perfect mix of professional and friendly. Her husband was just as kind and welcoming. I can’t recommend Gracie enough — if you’re looking for someone to watch your Dog go with her.”
“Gail is awesome! I’m lucky to have her take care of my anxiety boy and I can tell he had a great time. Quinn is super friendly and playful, and is a great company. Will definitely come back.”

About: We’re Layla and Gracie, a sister team who work together to care for your pets like they’re our own. With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, we’ve had the joy of caring for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, small pets, chickens, goats, and even donkeys. We take the time to understand each animal’s personality and routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while you’re away. Pet sitting fits naturally into our daily routine, which allows us to offer flexible and consistent care. I am a full-time online veterinary technician student, and my sister Gracie is volunteering regularly at a local animal shelter with the goal of becoming a veterinary assistant. Because of our availability, you’ll be able to depend on us for walks, check-ins, and overnight care every day of the week. Your pets will always have priority in our schedules and routines! When caring for pets in our clients’ homes, we do our best to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. We follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific instructions (medications, diets, etc.) to make sure your pet feels comfortable and stress-free when they’re without you. We spend quality time with each pet based on their needs—whether that’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. We’re happy to provide updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I've always had multiple cats in the home since my mother was a veterinarian growing up! I learned the basics from her, but really honed my skills being the Team Lead for 9 Tails Pet Care LLC in Virginia. While taking care of other's babies, I was also providing life saving care to my own at home. At 10years old, my orange baby Peaches was diagnosed with heart failure at a terrifying hospital visit. With incredible guidance and my own paranoid vigilance, she lived another happy 10 months! Having to pill her twice per day and keep a close eye, I became something of a pro. No small detail will get past me. When I'm with your babies, they're treated as my own!
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was young. I grew up with them, have fostered them and been a cat owner. I love cats and understand that you have to earn their trust and affection and that some would prefer their space while others can be cuddly and want attention. I also know some can be a little playful with their claws and am pretty good at reading their cues and can handle a scratch or two.
“Kylee did a great job caring for Meeko & Winston. She had good attention to detail, especially with their routine along with Meeko’s medications. Thorough & useful notes on the daily card.”
“Michelle was an awesome caretaker while I was away! The kitties were stressed out and gave her some extra work but she helped me out and took care of the the cats no problem and kept me updated every step of the way. Felt completely confident while I was away. Would definitely hire her again in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats of every kind and at high quantities. I have a very thorough background in understanding cat behavior and adjusting my own to fit their needs. In general, I’ve found that my favorite thing about cats is their peaceful nature but I see something endearing in the wild ones as well. Overall, my confidence in taking care or any animal weather it’s fluffy, scaly or prickly is very high as I have been in the vet industry for nearly my entire adult life. Life has seemed to find a way to take me out of that industry and I am grateful to get the opportunity to potentially be able to work with your fur baby as I do miss it.
About: I’ve cared for dogs with a huge range of personalities, energy levels, ages, and backgrounds. In addition to having dogs of my own, I’ve fostered multiple dogs and have experience helping new or nervous dogs settle into an unfamiliar environment. I’m comfortable with senior dogs, oral and injected medications, crates, and dogs who need a little extra patience. Because I have a multi-dog household, I’m very experienced with dog body language, introductions, different play styles, and knowing when a dog needs space or a break. I want every guest to feel comfortable here, so I’m happy to discuss your dog’s personality and make sure my home is a good fit before booking. I work from home full-time, so your pup won’t spend the day alone! Dogs staying with me get plenty of attention, supervised playtime, outdoor time in our fenced yard, and lots of opportunities to relax inside when they’re ready for a break. I work remotely full-time, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give your dog plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. Dogs can enjoy frequent potty and play breaks in our fenced yard, hang out with me while I work, or relax somewhere comfortable when they’re ready for a nap. I’m happy to adjust our routine to your dog’s normal schedule and energy level so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. I have a fully fenced yard and plenty of space for dogs to play, relax, or take a break when they need one. I’m experienced with multi-dog households and pay close attention to body language, play styles, and each dog’s comfort level. I have gates that can block access to stairs or separate areas of the home when needed, as well as multiple large crates for dogs who are crate-trained and feel most comfortable having their own space. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, medication, and care routine.
“As always, I feel so confident that my kitty is taken care of when Kaleigh is around! She sends super detailed updates and I can truly relax on vacation. Highly recommend her for your next sitting!”
About: I’ve been taking care of family members cats since I was young. Now, I personally have 3 cats (4 year old, 3 year old, and a 10 month) along with my 2 dogs! Cats are so misunderstood - the love of a cat is unmatched!
“Having Marsha care for our pets has been a god send. She is attentive, reliable, and patient. It was a great peace of mind knowing our babies were in good hands while we were away. Will definitely be contacting again the next time we are away.”
“Tamara dropped in to clean our cat's litter box, refresh her water, and refill her food. She also brought in packages that had been delivered which was very nice!! Communication was a bit spotty because her phone accidentally got stuck on silence, but I am sure the cat did not notice!! She is a hider anyway!”
“Katherine was amazing with my kitties. This was our first time ever using someone with Rover or any other service vs someone we know personally. Super worth it and I felt at ease the entire time! She was very thorough and is so kind and funny and takes great pictures. You can tell when people have a way with animals. :) I'll be partnering with Katherine again for trips in the future!”
About: I have taken care of other pets since elementary school. Neighbors and friends, even farm animals like sheep and goats. I can take care of it all! I currently work part time and I’m just looking to make some more money over the summer. I have some extra free time while I’m on break form school so why not make some extra cash to save. I currently live in an apartment but there are multiple dog parks close by and plenty of space for nice long walks. It’s only me and my dog I’m my apartment right now but she is very well mannered and mellow.
“If you are searching for someone to look after your fur babies book Norman! We had a family emergency that required short notice travel that coincided with Thanksgiving week, and we are brand new to Austin. Enter Norman. We picked him because he has been verified and had good reviews. He was very responsive, available for our pets on very short notice, answered all my questions and scheduled a phone call with us to go over pet specifics. Norman is very professional. He checked in every day, sent pictures of the cats, and followed all the instructions perfectly. We highly recommend him and will book him next time we are out of town.”
“Brianna took great care of our two Goldens for a whole week! It was our first time hiring a pet sitter so we were really nervous to have someone come to our home and care for our babies but after meeting Brianna, we immediately knew we were in good hands. We got daily pictures and updates, she was always on schedule and we didn't have to worry about a thing. It was clear that they were very well loved and cared for while we were away. I am so glad we found Brianna - we will definitely work with her again! Thank you, Brianna!!”
About: I am a very experienced Certified Vet Assistant who loves dogs and pigs. I have a great amount of experience with dogs as well as other pets and livestock. I spent the last 3 years as a intern at Animal Services of El Paso where I mainly vaccinated/prepped dogs and cats for surgery, fostered, and walked/played with dogs and cats at the shelter. I am able to feed, walk, lightly groom, and provide general medical care.I was raised around K-9’s, being that my dad is a trainer, so I am very comfortable and confident in my communication skills with dogs. I am college student but am available most of the day. Overall, I would consider myself to be very skilled, comfortable, and dependable at caring for dogs.

About: I have pets all my life growing up and all my adult life. I really enjoy caring for the animals and dealt with many different personalities, temperaments and behaviors, especially for dogs. I also have experiences in training 5 dogs and rescuing dogs. For the love of connecting with the animals they warm up to me very quickly and I seem to always attract animals around me. I also have a companion dog my self that I rescued stray puppy who's been with me for over 10 years now. I'm also an energy healer and can also provide a healing touch for the animals that are stressed and suffer separation anxiety. It will be my great pleasure to provide fun and happy times for your pet and give full attention. I'm self-employed and usually works from home most of the time and have flexible schedules to care for pets including play times and walking times together. my roommate is a professional dog trainer and we have a big spacious homestead vibe house that we share that are kept clean and a dog safe environment. Your dog will have a very comfortable place to stay!
“Amanda is an amazing dog sitter that I highly, highly recommend. She is not only responsive, prompt and flexible, but she is also kind and loving. Truly authentic and has a heart of gold. My husky/german sheppard mix Ghost has not only been taken care of while at her house, but he has been truly loved and cared for. I can’t recommend Amanda enough for any pet service you may be looking for.”
About: Hi there! I’m a Minnesota born, Bastrop-based dog lover and I’m glad you’ve found my profile. I've been around dogs my entire life and believe a dog makes a house a home. My own fur baby, Milou, is a 5 year old lab mix who loves other dogs and people. He will gladly accept a pal to join us on walks, or chase around the backyard. I have 5+ years experience volunteering with various animal shelters and a plethora of nights & weekends spent house/dog sitting for friends and family. I love to explore new trails, parks, & hikes so your pup's stay will be an active one! I am also a runner and will gladly take your dog along to burn off some extra energy. I took a couple years off from Rover as my family relocated several times. Now that we are settled in the Austin area, I am ready to get back to dog sitting/walking/boarding, and hope to meet you soon! I work from home so I am around to provide company, potty breaks, and perhaps even a lunchtime trip to the dog park! Canine coworkers are my favorite. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to roam safely. My dog loves hanging out back there and would enjoy a teammate to help him put the neighborhood squirrels in their place ;)
“Super -duper pet sitter w/ such a great approach for our little traumatized pound puppy. He has a natural talent for animals, but the fact he's a certified vet tech just adds a bonus. It's rare to meet someone that is so compassionate, but also has skills to deal w) a pet that needs additional medical care or attention. Justin was great about sharing updates and photos while our Bonnie was in his care. After some initial apprehension, we relaxed realizing she was comfortable and happy with him. It's easy to recommend Justin for an excellent care giver. His rates are very reasonable, also. If there were more than 5 stars, we'd add more as well as rate him as outstanding! Thanks so much for helping us enjoy our trip away!”
“Hope provides A+++ service, care and compassion for my big guy Ghost a 115lb 2.5 year-old German Shepard/Husky mix. As my regularly scheduled doggy daycare sitter, I would describe Hope as incredibly caring, attentive, responsive, and fair. She makes me as a dog owner as well as my dog Ghost incredibly comfortable. Since attending regularly scheduled doggy daycare with her on the days I work my shifts (I’m nurse, RN), Ghost’s overall state of mind and resulting behavior has dramatically improved overall. When he comes home after his stay with Hope, he is dramatically more calm, content and relaxed. Improvements in behavior, mood, and overall well-being which I attribute to the care Hope provides for my dog. All in all, I can’t be more thankful to have found Hope to take care of my dog and best friend.”

I also have a dog and indoor/outdoor cat and have trained them to get along and perform jobs.I I am a work from home entrepreneur with 1 acre who also works with a local farm on 20 acres, so there is always plenty of space and time to take care of animals. I have a half acre fenced yard with a standard 4' fence so as long as your doggo isn't tiny or able to jump fences they'll be able to stay outside longer if they like. Otherwise I can monitor them or walk them around the property. I have en elderly dog who may play with your dog(s) or who may keep to himself. I have an outdoor cat that takes care of snakes, bugs and rodents who also comes in the house sometimes.

About: I wanna watch your sweet baby!!!!!! I love and understand dogs so that means I won’t derail your dog training. I trained my dog to be so polite that she now weaponizes it against me lol.

I also have a great backyard for them to go run around and play, your dog (and me) will have so much fun!!!! I only watch 1 dog at a time. I have a medium sized dog and her best friends are always tiny dogs. Your tiny dog will be the boss of my dog. I work from home, we go play dog soccer in the backyard multiple times a day.

About: Animals hold a massive piece of my heart, and I have dedicated my life to their care and well-being. My mission began over 15 years ago when I started rescuing animals and finding them loving forever homes.

Because of my extensive background in shelter environments and rescue work, I am deeply comfortable working with all breeds, sizes, and unique behaviors.

“Pochi was in a great hands with Madeline! She kept me posted throughout the day, along with sending pictures. I loved seeing him have a great time with both Madeline and his new friend, Snax! We will definitely be booking again when we’re needing a sitter.”

You can tell she genuinely loves dogs. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!”

With a lot of love and care!

About: Growing up with a veterinarian mother, we always had multiple pets in the home! When I was 22 I adopted my soulmate, Peaches. Five years later, she was diagnosed with heart failure at a terrifying hospital visit. My quick (panicked) reaction, and the incredible doctors, saved her life. She lived another happy 10 months with vigilance and guidance! Having to pill her twice a day, and keep a close eye, I became a pro! At the same time, I was taking care of clients pets, never missing a beat. June 2026 I moved from Virginia where I was one half of 9 Tails Pet Care LLC! You'll see my name mentioned in the Google reviews. We had about 50 clients, some were every day dog walks, some were just vacation bookings, but I loved them all! I was the team lead, and lead caregiver for three years. You can see from my photos, I cared for all kinds of animals. Not much intimidates me anymore lol! Special skills include giving medications, insulin, incredible patience and attention to detail. I'm annoyingly attentive to the weird little individual things- who's nervous, who needs patience, who has a routine, who's uncomfortable, who can I make MORE comfortable, what might the owner worry about while they're away. Every pet, every visit, is treated like my own. September 2026 my business will be up and running! Buckaroo Bark Club LLC 🤠 Google business page and website up now! I am available, and used to, a full time pet care schedule! Having just moved from my last position in Virginia, I'm ready to establish an incredible client base here in Bastrop. I have a large fenced yard at home, on a quiet street. Pets will never be left unattended, and will always be on leash when leaving the home. Pets will always be handled gently and with care, while maintaining a strong grip on the leash! Water bowls will be clean and filled at every visit, every time. In home cameras are welcome to keep a close eye on your baby! I will also be snapping pictures for you to follow along on our adventures.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, have fostered both and been a cat owner. I have also helped friends and acquaintances with their pets while they are away. My experience includes walking dogs, scooping 💩, changing litter boxes, providing food and play to pets, and completing general house sitting tasks. I have also administered eye medications to kittens before and allergy meds to dogs. I have also lived on a couple of farms and helped take care of horses, goats, chickens, and even a rabbit. I would love to take care of your pet and offer you the peace of mind to know I will love on and care for them as if they were my own :) I’m self-employed, so I have plenty of time available to care for your pets. Specifically, I am a Certified Public Accountant who quit her consulting job to become a part-time farmer! I am currently operating my own micro-farm growing organic vegetables and flowers in South Austin which allows my schedule to be very flexible. I am available for boarding, house-sitting, pet walking and drop-in visits to feed and play with cats and dogs (and other animals on a case by case basis). I am happy to visit and care for a variety of pets by feeding and playing with them as well as helping with any household tasks including plant watering, checking the mail and throwing out trash/recycling. I am currently living in a tiny home on my own on a large plot of land with plenty of access to unfenced outdoor space if you are interested in boarding your pets. I am also very happy to come to your home for drop-in visits and/or to stay overnight if you and your pets would be more comfortable with that option. For dogs, I am happy to spend time indoors with them playing with toys and giving them good belly scratches as well as take them outdoors either into the backyard and/or on walks. I have experience both with big dogs including a German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees lab mix, Australian Shepherds, and shelter dogs as well as smaller dogs including a Teacup Pomeranian and an Iggie. I’m very active, so if your dog has a lot of energy and likes to go on runs, I am happy to run with them as well. For cats, I am happy to match their energy levels - if they are playful and energetic, I engage with them and encourage play. If they prefer to sleep or rest or are more shy, I am happy to just be around and pet them/brush them if they would like or just give them space. I am happy to care for other pets if requested and I am comfortable with the care instructions. I have previously cared for a tortoise, which mainly consisted of feeding him and giving him water.
About: Hi, I’m Nyeira! As a dedicated pet owner and animal lover, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide the same level of care, attention, and love that I would want for my own dogs. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years and currently have three dogs of my own. Two were adopted from shelters, and one was a stray I rescued while in college. Caring for pets from different backgrounds has taught me patience, consistency, and how to help animals feel safe and comfortable in new situations. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their dogs and cats because they know I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take their care seriously. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, and I am comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I will make sure they receive personalized care and attention. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes, although I generally prefer working with dogs under 80 pounds. Communication is extremely important to me. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to receive updates while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, photos, and updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I currently have open availability and ask that bookings or cancellations be made at least 48 hours in advance whenever possible. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I have a very flexible schedule and am available both weekdays and weekends, with open availability throughout the day to accommodate your pet’s needs. I am able to provide care in the form of house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, depending on what works best for you and your pet. While I do not offer boarding in my home, I am fully committed to caring for pets in their familiar environment where they feel most comfortable. I am adaptable with timing and happy to follow your preferred schedule and routine to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care whenever you need it, with clear communication and dependable availability. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every pet care situation. While I do not offer boarding in my own home, I provide care in the client’s home through house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks so pets can remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any specific behavioral or comfort preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routine and personality to ensure they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I am experienced with dogs of all ages and am comfortable administering medications when needed. I also provide consistent updates, including messages and photos, so pet parents can feel confident and reassured while they are away. My goal is always to create a calm, trustworthy presence for pets—minimizing stress by maintaining their normal routine and treating their space and care instructions with respect and attentiveness.
About: I've had a lot of pets in my life. I currently have 6 dogs and 3 cats. I have experience with reactive dogs and dog selective dogs. I deal mostly with large and extra large dogs but have owned medium and small dogs. I've worked for a boarding kennel before so I have some professional experience with that. I am also a current foster to shelter dogs so I see different breeds and personalities all the time. I work a full time job. I work nights so I'm usually available during the day early mornings and evenings on the days I work. I can always find a way to make it work. I have dogs that do not get along with other dogs or people. I am very used to a crate and rotate schedule and I'm very conscious of my dogs mood and behavior. I also have foster dogs, so I have new dogs in and out and ensuring safety is my top priority.
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: 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 have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.
About: I’ve been a huge dog lover since I was ten years old! Growing up, I pet-sat for neighbors, family, and friends, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, and keeping pups entertained. I’ve owned three dogs throughout my life and am currently a proud Shih Tzu owner, so I definitely know my way around a big 'lion dog' personality! I also enjoy training; I’ve taught my dogs everything from basic sits and paw-shakes to 'wait' commands for meals and even some fun moves like dancing. I truly just love being around dogs! I'm currently a full time college student but I still have lots of time to play and take care of your dogs! My availability is usually in the afternoon on weekdays and mostly open throughout the day on weekends. Just send me a message and I'll coordinate as best with your times! When sitting in your home, my priority is maintaining your dog's familiar routine to keep them stress free. I stick to your established feeding, walking, and medication schedules! And I make sure to have fun with them :)
About: I love high energy breeds and puppies! I’m good with long visits and I am willing to run with your pup, if you’d like! Very reliable and responsible. Been doing this for a while and I love it! I have a lot of free time until the end of August when I start school. Even then, I still want to care for pets 💗 I’m very respectful of clients' homes and spaces. I treat them like it's my own space and my focus is always on your pet and all the love I can give them 💗
About: Animals hold a massive piece of my heart, and I have dedicated my life to their care and well-being. My mission began over 15 years ago when I started rescuing animals and finding them loving forever homes. Over the years, I have deepened this commitment by working directly in animal shelters, volunteering, and fostering for rescues. For me, ensuring that animals live a life full of love, safety, and happiness is truly a life calling. I have been a professional pet sitter for over eight years. Because of my extensive background in shelter environments and rescue work, I am deeply comfortable working with all breeds, sizes, and unique behaviors. Full-Time Dedicated Care I recently relocated from Houston to Paige, where I continue to pursue pet care as my dedicated, full-time profession.

About: I have lots of experience with different types of animals. We have three inside kitties that were rescued when they were still bottle feeding. Two years ago we lost our 19 year old Labrador to old age. And the year before that we lost our 16 year old chow chow to old age. I will feed, water, walk and clean up after the babies. I am a full time convenience store manager for TXB. I Rover on the side to help my youngest daughter pay for college. She is currently earning her masters degree and I want to be able to help as much as possible. I am available most evenings after 6p. During the summer I am available all day Friday and Saturday. During the winter I am available all day Saturday and Sunday. I do not wish to care for anyone’s fur babies in my home. It would stress my kitties and I will not put them through any stress. I will take very good care of your fur babies in your home. I will follow all instructions given for their care and do my best to make the visit as comfortable as possible for the babies.

“Kyle, hands down, is the most enthusiastic, personable, caring, and attentive sitter! When Boyd goes over to his "resort', an acre or so of room to play with pals, jump in the pool or lay down in a baby pool, (water dog that he is) he has the absolute best time! Sometimes Kyle has 5 'guests', other times, more. There's always buddies to run and play with and hyper Boyd comes home exhausted!!! And Kyle is great at sending lots of action photos! !I am so happy to have discovered Kyle!”
“Adriana is the only person I let my anxious dog, Maggie, stay with! Mags is pretty anxious and takes a minute to warm up to people. Adriana always does a great job at keeping her comfortable and happy. She’s always sending me pictures of how happy Mag is with her which always makes me feel so much better. She also brings Mag back with cute bandanas and treats which is a plus! Highly highly recommend!”
“My two German shepherds had a great time with Iuliia during their two week stay. They are high energy and a lot to deal with. I believe they received excellent care and will definitely have them stay with Iuliia again. They got to meet a handful of other dogs. It was much better than having them at a traditional boarder where they would be in a kennel most of the day. I received many great photos and videos during their stay. Thank you!”
“Luca absolutely loves Desmond and Robyn! We’ve used them a handful of times and Luca comes back so exhausted from all of the playing. The updates are amazing and communication incredible. We’ll continue bringing Luca back thank you!!”
“Mariana was fantastic! Honey came home from her stay happy and healthy. She even had a little bandana and a goodie bag for dogs! Mariana was a good communicator from the beginning and throughout the stay. We look forward to our next visit!”
“Elizabeth was great with my dog Opal! She tried different techniques to help calm her down as Opal can be very anxious around other dogs — I felt very at ease while I was away on my trip and she made sure to update me on how she was doing.”
“Fern had a wonderful time playing with your dogs. She will definitely stay again in future. She got lots of snuggles and I received updates with photos during her stay.”
“Gail is awesome! I’m lucky to have her take care of my anxiety boy and I can tell he had a great time. Quinn is super friendly and playful, and is a great company. Will definitely come back.”
“River had a great stay. He’s a high-energy chocolate lab, and they handled him really well. We got consistent updates and photos without having to ask, which I appreciated. He looked comfortable the whole time and got plenty of playtime and walks. Communication was easy and they were flexible with timing and his collar setup. Everything felt really smooth. Already booked with them again.”
“Morgan is absolutely amazing. My dog is always happy to go and I know he’s sad when he leaves. I know gene he’s there he’s treated like family. Morgan also has gone above and beyond to be accommodating to my crazy schedule shifts. Grateful for someone who cares about my dog, as much as I do.”
“Marc was great. He sent pictures daily sometimes twice a day. He always responded quickly during texting. Drop off and pick up was easy. This was a late booking which he was very flexible. Thank you Marc.”
“returned to a very happy pup! thankful for a close by safe space for my pup to stay when I have to go on work trips. Will absolutely be back!”
“Our girls had a great time with Amanda! She was responsive and communicated with me the entire time she was watching my girls! We will be using her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Aine, Jared and Mr. Fionn are my favorite Rover sitters! It’s been a few days since pickup and Stella is still exhausted. Y’all are actual miracle workers!”
“Bailey K - Very attentive and caring. Kept us informed and send numerous pics of KC playing with her pets. We will rebook with Bailey K when we’re in need of an overnight stay or two! Thanks,”
“Highly recommend Brian for anyone looking for a dog sitter in the South Austin area. Our dog requires daily medication and has been labeled a stage 5 clinger so we were a bit nervous to leave him without someone unfamiliar but Brian opened his home, and showed Leron all of the love we could have asked for.”
