Highly-rated overnight sitters - Schwertner
“Shane took care of my two dogs for 2 weeks while I was out of the country. He sent me pictures and updates of the puppies every single day. He was just amazing and my dogs love him now. I highly recommend his service. He is great!”
“I never left my pets with a sitter so I was nervous but Katrina made me feel confident my babies were gonna be in good hands. She did an amazing job, I appreciate her hard work. Her dog was so friendly to mine and he got to socialize.”
“Andrew was amazing with our old guy! Griffey can sometimes be a grumpy old man and Andrew was SO kind, patient and understanding. Griffey was so well taken care of and we got lots of updates.”
“My mini Aussie stayed with Jormary for 8 days, normally my dog is quite nervous in new surroundings, Jormary took such great care of her, gave extra attention so she would feel less anxious. I was getting daily updates and pictures. Jormary followed instructions to the t, I am very happy with the care Jormary provided for my pet. Would definitely recommend and I am certain I will book again!”
“My Mei was well taken care of Joel and his wife took very good care communicated every single day sent photos the show progress that they were making with my baby and I was very satisfied with her. She was very well behaved when she came home and I would definitely rebook with them again. it was like she was being taken care of by family.”
“Kristina and her household were an incredible extended family for our dog, Bailey! She was kind, informative, affectionate, and kept us up to date with plenty of pics, videos and messages every day. As we left Kristina’s house, Bailey was genuinely sad to leave, and I get the sense that she can’t wait for next time! Highly recommend Kristina as a crucial part of anyone’s dog care family!”
“Kimberly was wonderful! This was my first time leaving my dogs in the care of anyone other than a family member, so I was pretty nervous at first. Kimberly gave me frequent updates, lots of pictures, and I could really tell that my pups were being loved and well cared for. Thank you so much!”
“It was Sonic’s first time staying at a sitter’s place, and Heather reassured me that he would be fine. I was impressed with the meet-and-greet and decided to try boarding him there. The whole family is dedicated to ensuring that our puppy has a good time. Their friendly dogs, Winnie and Charlie, added to the positive environment. They kept me updated with requests for updates and sent a picture, and Sonic's relaxed expression said it all. I will definitely use Heather again in the future. I also want to mention her son, who was incredibly helpful. He assisted us in assembling and disassembling the crate, and he is such a kind person.”
“Radha and Bart are absolutely the BEST. Rooney was so happy staying there and playing with their super chill big boy Snowy for the entire week. They provided us so many updates with photos and videos. We didn’t have to worry about him at all. Radha and Bart treated him like their own pup. They took him on walks multiple times during the day and gave him the sniffing time which our beagle loves. If you want your fur baby to be loved and get that feeling of home away home, go with Radha and Bart :)”
“Courtney was amazing!!! She sent pictures and updates. I knew Dixie would love her dog Tanner. Dixie warmed up to everyone pretty quickly. Will 100% book with her again!!”
“Josh is great! Sends daily updates with lots of pictures. I never had to worry about Nilla & Coosa while gone to Utah this past week. Especially not having cell service during the day. I knew my girls were being well taken care of. Josh is my go-to sitter when I need to leave my girls for overnight stays!”
“Lynn was great! Sent periodic photos and was so pleasant the entire time, starting from before drop off to drop off. It sounds like my dog also got along with hers and her family! Would rebook with her again if I needed dog sitting.”
“Absolutely fantastic experience. She took great care of my dog and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos, and it was obvious my dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Very reliable, professional, and kind. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet.”
“Our dog has separation issues & is often a little picky about his friends, but he settled down with Rodnie & her pups nicely for the weekend. Rodnie allowed him to feel at home...... sleeping on her sofa!! She sent us an update so we were ensured all was well. We have already booked him again with Rodnie for his next stay!”
“Our girl was so happy staying with Cathrin for the holidays! It was her first long visit away from home and Cathrin provided excellent care and communication throughout the entire visit. Highly recommend.”
“Kelly did a great job with my dog! He was calm and in good spirits when I came to pick him up. She also sent me a photo right away which let me know he was well adjusted in their home. She also texted me several times to let me know how he was doing. I would highly recommend her and her family for taking care of your pet family member!”

“Joshua was great in taking care of our Caspian (cat). He came on time, was very attentive and caring.

He sure have a lifelong customer as long as we live in the area!”
“Joanna did an amazing job! Our cats are both on special diets and she didn't bat an eye at having to cater to their specific needs. I received updates when she arrived and left, pictures and a summary on how each visit went. She even noticed and cleaned up an accident one of them had even though we were returning that afternoon. I highly recommend Joanna and will definitely be using her again when we go out of town!”
About: Since I was a little girl I have had and taken care of both indoor and outdoor cats. I have taken care of cats with special needs and of all breeds and sizes and do not discriminate as I love them all! I have experience with very young kittens all the way up to seniors at end of life. I treat every cat with the respect and dignity and care that I would my own.
“Tamaria kindly checked in on my cat when I needed someone very last minute over the holidays. She is extremely fast to respond and sends regular updates, including plenty of pictures. My cat is very shy around new people but warmed up quickly to Tamaria with a few treats of encouragement! I recommend Tamaria and will certainly reach out to her in the future.”
About: I know that pets can become confused and upset while you are away. I will make sure their needs are met with compassion and love. I will spend whatever amount of time needed with them to assure they are happy and comfortable. I take care of my husband who is a disabled veteran and have free time to meet your pets needs, treating them as if they were my own We have two dogs and three mischievous cats. I'm available to take as much time as needed during visits to ensure all of their needs are met and they are comfortable and loved
About: I've taken care of dogs of every size .Neighbors, family, friends dogs. My son and I will take them on walks, feed and bathe them. I work full time and like to do this on the side since I dog sit sometimes for friends, family. My son LOVES cats and dogs and enjoys playing with them. His day is made anytime he sees a new pup when he comes home from school. I have a fenced yard and live in a neighborhood where we all look out for each other and our pets. Very friendly and small neighborhood.
About: Hey! I’m Jess, and dogs basically run my life (in the best way). 🐶💛 I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, including big, small, purebreds, mutts, puppies, seniors, even diabetic or epileptic pups. I work at a boarding and daycare facility, and I even get to hang out with K9s in training, so I know how to handle high-energy, smart, and sometimes stubborn dogs. Feeding, bathing, cleaning up messes, exercising, monitoring behavior. I do it all, and I do it with love! I’m all about communication. I’ll send pics, updates, and cute texts so you know your pup is happy, safe, and having a blast. I’m trained in pet CPR, first aid, and know all the warning signs to look out for. While I don’t bring dogs to my home, I’ll work with them wherever they’re comfortable. I’m flexible, reliable, and genuinely love making each dog feel like the goodest boy or girl in the world. I work part-time shifts (3.5–6.5 hours), so I schedule visits and walks around my job. Dogs get consistent attention, play, and exercise while you’re away. I care for pets in their own space so they feel comfortable and stress-free; feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention. I follow your instructions and adapt to each dog’s personality.
About: Ive always had a passion for taking care of animals. I use to go around asking to play or to walk my neighbors dogs. Im super good with senior dogs. I have a 13 year old Boston terrier and a 7 year old long haired Chihuahua. i would love to work on this app full time and spend my days with all the animals on here. Im currently part time, so i will have all the time in the world to spend with your fur baby if needed! i can come anytime, anywhere! I show that im gentle and very loving with animals by making sure they have plenty of water, food, toys, walks, etc… i can show i care in many ways.
About: I've grown up around all kinds of cats, from family pets to barn cats and even neighborhood strays. I recently adopted a kitten of my own and have loved learning even more about them and their personalities. I'd love the chance to meet and care for your cat!
About: I've had pets for about 7 years - raised two Huskies from puppies, and after moving out on my own I started taking care of cats. I currently have three cats at home. Friends and family have counted on me to feed, walk, and look after their pets when they're away. I'm comfortable handling both small and large dogs, and I know bigger breeds like Huskies need a lot more exercise and stimulation than most. With cats, I deal with them every single day, so I know when they're just being moody and when something's actually wrong. My schedule is very flexible - I'm taking online classes this summer, but they're all self-paced with no set class times, so I can work around any pet care needs throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, and I can easily adjust to fit your pet's routine! For drop-in visits and dog walking, I always make sure to follow the owner's instructions and keep the pet's normal routine as close as possible. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes before anything else - especially with bigger dogs. I grew up with two Huskies, so I know how important it is to keep large, energetic dogs secure and properly managed. I'll send updates and photos during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing!
About: I’ve owned and taken care of cats for 20+ years. I’ve worked with a wide range of cat personalities from feral to super friendly. I can understand the social cues from cats and can notice most medical issues early on due to my vet/med background. I have experience administering medications/injections/fluids, and have learned calming methods.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Schwertner
About: I have experience caring for dogs for friends and family, including walks, feeding, and playtime. As a mom, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing, I treat every dog like part of my own family. I keep you updated, follow instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets the best care every time. As a full-time student and stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting outside. I’d love to spend that time walking and caring for dogs and cats I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away.
About: We have raised 3 different dogs together. Two of those furr babies required medical care and special diets, so we are always very attentive and careful with all pets needs! We recently lost our precious boy River, due to his liver disease and we miss his presence tremendously. So having other pets over truly helps keep us going and having a boost of morale. With that being said, we will give your pet 100% of our attention at all times. You can trust your pet will be supervised and cared for all day. At least one of us is always home to supervise when we are dog sitting so your pet is never alone. We have a small dog park at our complex for some outdoor fun time, and can provide daily walks as well to ensure they get more exercise! We have made our home safe for your dog keeping certain things out of reach. I can update you regularly with picture updates as well!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for quite a while! It started with trick training which turned into completely 6 months at a dog training school and earning a certificate in canine training and behavioral specialist. I am confident in handling and caring for the most difficult pups! From nervous and anxious dogs to high energy working dogs, I am willing to create a safe and effective boarding/care experience for them. My whole life revolves around my dogs so your pups will be loved and cared for during their stay. I have a schedule that allows me to fit any pet care needs. My dogs get tons of outside times, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day so whatever plan your pup needs we can accommodate! I am flexible on creating a system that works best for you pets. I can house dogs that are not good in crates and well as dogs that need to be crated. I have pet cameras throughout the home so I can keep watch at all times! We can come up with a system that works best for you pets! Whether that be multiple walks per day or a special feeding plan!
“My dog takes a long time to warm up to men, hates peanut butter, and isn’t food motivated. Within the first 5 minutes of our meet and greet my dog was eating peanut butter treats out of his hand and happily getting all the scratches. I have no idea how he did it but my dog instantly loved him. When it came time for the booking my dog jumped out of the car and ran straight for his door with out waiting for me. I got a ton of photos and my dog was very relaxed in all of them. I highly recommend Joshua.”
About: As a kid I was taught responsibility by caring for our horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve had pets all my life! My mom’s cat almost died of a bacterial infection in her mouth and I’ve helped administer antibiotics to her until she got better. I had a cat who had kidney disease and needed to have IV fluids every week. My other cat had to be mouth fed with a syringe as well as monitored via thermometer up his butt. I have house and pet sit for friends and family that have multiple pets, most recently for a friend that had 6 dogs of all sizes! I am an active individual so walking will be a treat for them and me! :) I have given dogs and cats baths and also cared for dogs in heat. I have a very open and wide range of availability and I am available most days, including weekends and holidays as I rarely ever go out of town. It would be great to develop some long term relationships with new pets and their owners! Repeats are always great but not expected. I will do what I can to work with your schedule and the needs of you and your fur child. I will do my best to maintain consistency and high-level care when it comes to your pet. Each pet is different and I try to get to know each one individually in order to gain their trust and yours and provide the best care possible. Often times, I will send pictures to the pet owner, especially if it is a new client or a pet owner is out of town for an extended amount of time. I am easily reachable and try to communicate clearly about wants, needs, and scheduling. I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to providing a service, but it is not mandatory, especially for last minute bookings! We have a small yard in front and neighbors that will walk their dogs but they are all on leashes and well behaved. We live in a newer and safe community and I often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small park down the street which is nice too. We also have a fenced in backyard which can be seen from the inside of the house or the porch. We live in a one story house, but there are steps from the porch to the yard outback. My husband lives with me and has also grown up with cats and dogs. We currently have one male cat Santiago who gets along great with our male Chihuahua Juan Pablo and also got along great with my former senior Maine coon cat. He is a bit weary of strangers at first, but he will just hide until he gets to know you a bit and then you won’t be able to get him off of your lap. We have a gate in between the kitchen and the rest of the house so that the Chihuahua can have free rain to walk around and not have to be in his cage when we are not home. In the event that we have another animal in the house we can keep the Chihuahua in his cage. We also have two bedrooms and two baths that can be used to separate animals.The Chihuahua is very friendly and gets along great with the cat. He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.
About: I've been a dog mom to multiple pups over the years. Plenty of time spoiling them and taking them out on adventures. Sadie and I love hiking and kayaking, or just strolling through the neighborhood. I currently work from home and make my own schedule, so I can easily adjust it to your needs. This leaves plenty of room to hang with my sweet dog and hopefully yours as well. I have a fenced yard and a sweet shorkie that would love play time with your sweet dog. I can keep them separated or allow them to play depending on your comfort level.
About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience at a professional boarding facility caring for over 20 dogs at once, I understand the responsibility that comes with looking after someone’s beloved pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own—because I know how hard it is to trust just anyone with your fur baby. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable experience for your pet, giving you peace of mind while they enjoy tail-wagging adventures. I am a full time student and taking the summer off. I am basically free for the summer to help out if you are not feeling well, working late, or last minute walks. I am currently only available for dog walks. The care will need to be taken place at the pet owners home. Due to my apartments restrictions.
About: I’ve loved and cared for pets my entire life! Growing up, we always had multiple dogs in our home. We had a big family with our fur babies!

Thank you so much for watching our pup while we were out! I recommend her and will definitely book again next time we are in the area!!”
“They were very flexible to watch our dog on a Sunday and flexible with tie time. They made our dog feel comfortable with them and followed instructions on feeding and potty breaks. We would use them again when in town.”
About: We’re moving mid-June into our new home (officially homeowners, yay!), so because I don’t know when we’ll be settled, my availability is a little up in the air. We will be moving to East Georgetown (by Jonah), about a 15-minute drive from Taylor and a 10-minute drive from Hutto. We hope to still care for your pups after our transition into the new home. Lifelong dog owner with a decade of dog sitting and fostering experience, providing loving, reliable care while treating every pup like family in a safe, comfortable home. While you’re away, my dogs and I will make your pup feel comfortable with lots of love and play! I started out watching family members’ dogs as a teenager, then gradually began caring for my husband’s coworkers’ pups and others as word spread. Along the way, I realized how much I genuinely enjoy seeing new dogs interact with mine and how happy they are having friends around. It’s something I look forward to, and I am so excited to do it more often. My own pet’s care is part of my everyday life. I’m home all day with my own dogs, so your pup will always have company, attention, and lots of love. Caring for them is my full time job, which means I have all the time in the world to focus on making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play along with a doggy door for easy access, plus two friendly dogs who love having new companions around. I keep a close eye on all pups during playtime to make sure everyone is comfortable and getting along. I stick to your dog’s usual routine for feeding, potty breaks, and rest, and I’m happy to crate them if that’s part of their normal schedule. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and right at home the entire time they’re with me.
“Yakeline, I appreciate everything. Seger was happy and cared for. Good communication and info sent during stay was appreciated. Made it easier for me and I feel like he is in good hands. I will definitely bring him back. Thank you so much.”
About: I have plenty of experience caring for and walking dogs.

When the pet are feeling comfortable, send pictures to the client, letting them know you're giving them extra attention.

“Veronica was a wonderful sitter! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off. She was very warm and welcoming to my dog. House has a large yard to run and play, and her resident dog Stella is the perfect temperament. She kept me updated throughout the day with cute and fun things he did as well as pictures. Brady seemed to really enjoy his time and was one happy exhausted pup by the end of the day! I definitely plan to book again when I need to!”

About: Hey! I’m Jess, and dogs basically run my life (in the best way). 🐶💛 I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, including big, small, purebreds, mutts, puppies, seniors, even diabetic or epileptic pups. I work at a boarding and daycare facility, and I even get to hang out with K9s in training, so I know how to handle high-energy, smart, and sometimes stubborn dogs. Feeding, bathing, cleaning up messes, exercising, monitoring behavior. I do it all, and I do it with love! I’m all about communication. I’ll send pics, updates, and cute texts so you know your pup is happy, safe, and having a blast. I’m trained in pet CPR, first aid, and know all the warning signs to look out for. While I don’t bring dogs to my home, I’ll work with them wherever they’re comfortable. I’m flexible, reliable, and genuinely love making each dog feel like the goodest boy or girl in the world. I work part-time shifts (3.5–6.5 hours), so I schedule visits and walks around my job. Dogs get consistent attention, play, and exercise while you’re away. I care for pets in their own space so they feel comfortable and stress-free; feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention. I follow your instructions and adapt to each dog’s personality.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards you name it. I’m very good with instructions, and follow them thoroughly. I will make sure your pet is happy :) I’m currently working part-time. I am also a college student, but my classes are online currently. I will have plenty of time to check on any pets, walk them, play with them. I am very patient and gentle with animals, and have a huge soft spot for them. Whatever I am instructed to do, I will make sure it will be done effectively
About: Since I was a young girl, I have always been fascinated by animals—particularly dogs. I begged my parents to get me my first pet—Jasper, a rescued Labrador retriever—at age 7. Taking care of Jasper was my main focus as well the odd assortment of fish and hamsters we had. When Jasper passed, and I graduated high school, my next door neighbor had a litter of golden retriever puppies. I was ready to have another animal, and that’s when Kensie came into my life. Kensie was my soul dog, and she passed away two years ago. We did everything together—going to dog parks around town, Zilker park, and even red bud (before the algae), and going to dog-friendly establishments in Austin. She was my best friend. Unfortunately, her last few months on earth were extremely challenging. I was up with her three to four times a night (sometimes more), administering multiple medications, and helping her stand/walk. When the time came to say goodbye, I could barely make the decision to let her go. I miss her so much, but because of my current living situation, don’t have the opportunity to get another dog. That’s where Rover comes in. I love animals, and am extremely responsible when it comes to taking care of someone’s pet. This will give me my ‘fix’ and also be a productive side hustle for me. It will be an honor to walk//watch your pet. I will give the very care and concern I gave my own pets. Not only have I had my own pets, but I have experience with a variety of breeds—including catahoulas and boxers. As mentioned above, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and administering medication. I’m currently in a transition phase in my life, and am looking for something productive and rewarding. I have pretty much limitless availability to cater to whatever your dog may need. At the moment, I can’t accept any dogs into my home, but if given the opportunity to stay at a client’s house, I would follow all instructions given while simultaneously respecting the space and showering your dog with love and attention.

“It was Sonic’s first time staying at a sitter’s place, and Heather reassured me that he would be fine. I was impressed with the meet-and-greet and decided to try boarding him there. The whole family is dedicated to ensuring that our puppy has a good time. Their friendly dogs, Winnie and Charlie, added to the positive environment. They kept me updated with requests for updates and sent a picture, and Sonic's relaxed expression said it all. I will definitely use Heather again in the future. I also want to mention her son, who was incredibly helpful. He assisted us in assembling and disassembling the crate, and he is such a kind person.”
