“We were so lucky Maddison & Wesley were available to watch Heidi my daughters dog while I had a major surgery. It was very last minute. They were able to do a meet the same day I contacted them and watch her starting that Mon-Wed. It was such a relief knowing they had dogs her same size and they knew how to handle her.

Dobby got plenty of playtime throughout the day with her two dogs and the other dogs she was caring for, which he absolutely loved. He came back happy, well-socialized, and clearly well cared for. She sent us daily photo updates that we genuinely looked forward to and that reassured us Dobby was safe, comfortable, and having a great time.

We couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog like family.”

Cat caregivers near you - Schwertner
About: I’m a lifelong cat lover with experience caring for cats of all different personalities. I currently have a 9-year-old cat of my own and have also cared for friends’ cats while they’re away. I’m comfortable with independent cats who prefer their space as well as social cats who want plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home, while keeping you updated with pictures and messages while you're away.
“Jormary is wonderful! As a repeat client, I continue to trust her with Max and Ruby. She is reliable, communicative, and always provides excellent care during her drop-in visits. I’m grateful for attentiveness and kindness towards Max and Ruby, highly recommend her services. 🐾😊”

I especially appreciated knowing that someone caring and trustworthy was checking on them while I was away. She clearly interacted with them and her updates gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely book Lola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable pet sitter!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, birds—you name it. I’ve spent a lot of time around cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities—from playful kittens to independent seniors and everything in between. Whether your cat is a snuggly lap lover, a curious explorer, or a shy hider, I know how to meet them where they are and make them feel safe and comfortable. I typically work evenings, but my schedule is pretty flexible during the week. At the moment, I’m not taking requests for Saturdays or Sundays, but I can sometimes make exceptions—just ask! I’m very attentive to routines and details. I’ll clean litter boxes regularly, administer medication if needed, and make sure your cat’s environment stays calm and clean. If they have special diets, play routines, or favorite nap spots—I’ll keep everything just how they like it. I also send plenty of photos and updates so you can stay connected while you’re away.
“Suzanne was very friendly and did an excellent job caring for and loving on my cat when I was away. I will definitely keep her in mind for the future and recommend her to others.”
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.

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.

“Austyn was absolutely wonderful. She sent pictures of my cats so I never had to worry about them. Very kind, very dependable, and even my shy, special needs kitty adores her. She gets 5/5 stars. I highly recommend her to anyone needing their fur babies cared for.”
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.
About: Hi! We’re Maddison and Wesley, cat parents who know who really runs the house. Whether your kitty is a professional napper, a tiny troublemaker, or a “you may admire me from a distance” type, we’ll follow their lead with patience, playtime, and cuddles when permitted. We’ll keep meals on schedule, litter boxes fresh, and you updated with photos of your little boss. Our home includes friendly dogs, a cat, and young children, so we chat beforehand to make sure it’s a comfortable fit for you and pets. We’d love to meet your favorite feline!
“Monique looked after our cat for 2 weeks and did a fantastic job. She gave clear and detailed updates and was very enthusiastic and communicated well. She also was happy to help with some additional tasks for us.”
About: Give your dog a vacation! :) Your dog won't have any lack of attention in a home of two dog-lovers and an adorable little mutt named Tiger! We both work from home so we’re able to give attention throughout the day. I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and being from the country, we'd usually have six or seven in our family at a time. Tiger loves all dogs, big or small - he's a real dog's dog. Whatever your dog's temperament may be - whether chilling on the couch, or going for a walk or run, we will be happy to accommodate. We only board small and medium sized dogs, up to 40 pounds. If your dog is larger, we are open to house sitting at your residence. Your dog will have lots of room to play and relax in our two bedroom, dog-proofed home. We are lucky to have a fenced in back yard and to live in such a walkable neighborhood (less than half a mile from town square). Since we work from home, I'm able to do multiple walks (or jogs, if you are so inclined) a day. I will also send you updates and photos so you can relax and rest assured that your canine friend is in good hands. Let me know if your dog prefers to be crated at night or sleep with us. We also have several plush dog beds throughout the house, but feel free to bring any bedding or toys that will remind them of home.

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!

“I’ve been using this family for over a year now. Can’t begin to explain how amazing they are. My Marley girl is my whole world, and I can’t imagine trusting anyone as much as I trust them. Ren has been nothing short of incredible. She treats my baby like she’s part of the family and not only cares for her but actually loves her. She’s patient, kind, communicative, professional and friendly. Marley knows when she’s going to see her and just completely lights up. I never have to worry about anything when she’s with them. I’m completely at ease for a day, or for long term stays. Can’t express my appreciation enough for all of them. Will continue to book and refer forever! Thank y’all! 🩷🩷”

About: I grew up on a 100-acre ranch with 13 dogs, so caring for animals has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember.

We have a large fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and sniff around safely. I have a mini blue heeler of my own who’s great company for social dogs, and I’m happy to keep visiting pets separated if yours does better solo (only have her occasionally). I stick closely to the feeding, medication, and walking routine you provide, keep dogs leashed on every outing, and send photo and video updates so you always know how your best friend is doing. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m comfortable using one for rest or bedtime.

“We were so lucky Maddison & Wesley were available to watch Heidi my daughters dog while I had a major surgery. It was very last minute. They were able to do a meet the same day I contacted them and watch her starting that Mon-Wed. It was such a relief knowing they had dogs her same size and they knew how to handle her. She’s a cuddle bug but very big and solid! We thank your family for being so AWESOME!!”
“Sarah is so amazing with our dogs! One is super high anxiety and he gets very comfortable at her house! It’s a blessing to not have to worry about him as much when we are gone.”
“Shane and his family took amazing care of shadow. Shadow enjoyed playing with Pepper and Shane with his family. Would recommend him to anyone who needs a pet sitter. It was also amazing I received pictures and updates everyday!!”
“Katrina is amazing! We always book her since our furbabies love her and her family! Her dog Pogo is phenomenal, so sweet, and taking good care of our dogs as well! We’ll always book Katrina on our future our of town since our dogs trust her! Thank you, Katrina!”
“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.”
“Heather took incredible care of our puppy, Dobby, for two weeks while my wife and I were on vacation. From day one, it was clear that she treated him like one of her own. She was attentive, patient, and clearly very experienced with dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Dobby got plenty of playtime throughout the day with her two dogs and the other dogs she was caring for, which he absolutely loved. He came back happy, well-socialized, and clearly well cared for. She sent us daily photo updates that we genuinely looked forward to and that reassured us Dobby was safe, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was in such loving hands allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without any worry. We’re extremely grateful to Heather and would trust her again without hesitation. We couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their dog like family.”
“Kristina and her family were amazing pet sitter and boarder for our dog Suko for 5 days! She kept us updated with prompt communication and regular pictures, which gave us real peace of mind. She also administered Suko’s seizure medication exactly as instructed—right on time every morning and evening. We truly appreciated her care and responsibility. We’d definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others! Thank you, Kristina, for taking such good care of Suko and treating he like one of your own.”
“Alana & Shane has a large yard which is great for high energy dog like Mochi! All the photos of Mochi showed that he had a great time here. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Susan was fantastic. Easily accommodating, friendly, and communicated status updates throughout the weekend. Athena had a blast, running and playing with new friends.”
“Jeff was great with Milo! He sent us updates and pictures and genuinely seemed so excited to have Milo at his house. It made us feel at ease that Milo was in a safe and loving environment. We will definitely be booking with Jeff again when we need someone to watch Milo.”
“Jerica did an amazing job making our boys feel at home. As soon as we got home they went straight to sleep because of how much they were playing! She kept us in the loop their entire stay with updates and pictures. We would love to book her again and would recommend her to any pup parents 🥺”
“Guiselle and her family took wonderful care of Pluto. She shared updates and photos often, and was very accommodating with our schedule. I’d highly recommend her and would absolutely book again”
“I had a wonderful experience with Lynn. She was so attentive to my dog, Odin, and ensured he had a comfortable and happy stay. She also communicated with me regularly, providing photos and updates throughout the stay. I felt completely confident that my dog was in good hands. I would absolutely book Lynn and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Absolutely loved working with Chad! He was really patient and took such special care of my sweet boy. I got tons of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which really helped ease my mind. I also appreciated getting to do a meet and greet beforehand so I could see where my dog would be staying. It made a huge difference. I’d definitely recommend Chad if your dog has separation anxiety or doesn’t do well in crates. He doesn’t take on too many overnighters at once, so I knew my dog wouldn’t just be a number. Great experience all around!”
“Mina was great! She stopped by to meet the boys a couple weeks before they would be staying with her. They loved her right away. Very responsive and gives us lots of updates about our pups.”
“Sherron took such amazing care of our sweet pup! She gave nice updates that made us feel great about how she was doing and allowed us to have a stress free trip knowing she was in great hands! We felt like Nala was treated as one of her own and taken on walks and given scratchies and lots of love/attention! We would highly recommend Sherron as a safe place for your fur babies to stay!!”
“Brittny was AMAZING and provided all the best check-ins to ease my mind while out of town for the weekend! She was also very flexible with us as our flight got pushed back on our returning date so we had to adjust the pickup time from morning to evening. I really enjoyed having her watch my pup and definitely feel comfortable booking with her again in the future!”
“Trey was amazing with my boy who was quite anxious being away for the first time in over a year. Very responsive. I felt very comfortable after the meet and greet and would absolutely book again”
