Highly-rated overnight sitters - Smithville
“If I could give 10 out of 5 stars I would! Definitely going to have my pup stay here again, when I go away. Kyle is so caring with the doggies, has an acre for them to run non-stop all day, sent me several pictures each day and was superbly communicative. I know my pup had a doggo-vacation for sure. Highly Recommend!”
“Hope and her husband were great! I couldn’t ask for a better people to take care of my pup and give me that peace of mind! They took her on a walk, hung out outside, played and relaxed inside and overall just genuinely took care of mine like it was her own! Highly recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Kelly enough! He was incredibly responsive and accommodating, even with my last-minute request. He was thoughtful in understanding Rambos behavior and needs during drop off and kept me updated with frequent photos throughout the week. His dog Jasper was wonderful with Rambo and they seemed to be having so much fun running in the huge backyard and playing together. It was clear Kelly cared about my pups wellbeing and ensured he had an abundance of attention, exercise and playtime. I felt at ease knowing Rambo was in such good hands!”
“The absolute best experience! Justin is so reliable and we completely felt comfortable with leaving our dogs with them while we were away! We will definitely be booking again for future trips.💗”
“Daniela is such a greater person with dogs! she took care of my Mia for a week after getting spayed. Even though Mia is not trained, Daniela had the patience and the ability to take care of her. She was there for Mia 24/7 since she needed extra care. I definitely recommend her!”
“Gloria was amazing with my dog! I can tell he had so much fun and I had a peace of mind knowing Gloria and her sweet family were watching my dog and playing with him, taking him on walks, making sure he had enough treats and play time. Really great experience communicating with her as well.”
“Ronald watched our dog jack while we were out of town and provided excellent service and communication. Jack is older and had been coming off an illness so we were worried about leaving him but we were given much comfort with the care provided! We would recommend Ronald to anyone in the area!”
“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,”
About: I am an avid animal lover who has seven dogs and two cats of her own. I love taking care of all animals and giving them the best life they can possibly have. All of my animals have had different personalities, so I know how to deal with all different types of animals and adjust to their needs. I’ve also fostered a number of dogs and am patient working with dogs that come from a variety of backgrounds and quirks! I am currently working remotely full-time, so I have the ability to hang out and play with the animals all day! I can keep an eye on all of them throughout the day and bring them outside to play or hang out in the fenced yard! I have a fenced yard, a gate to cover any stairs in case the animal cannot be near stairs, plenty of animal beds, food bowls, water, toys, etc. I also have three large dog crates if needed.
“Went for a little away time with my lady and Brianna came thru on like 2 hours of notice within blinking an eye. We dropped Pazzo off and after meeting her i was a lot more at ease in knowing that my dog would be in safe hands. Then she send a couple of photos on day 2 and informed me that Topaz was doing fantastic. We returned the following day and i saw that she wanted to confirm the drop off time because she had an errand to run in the late afternoon.. very punctual, affordable and accommodating and if we find ourselves in a similar situation going forward, we will be barking up Brianna tree. Lame pun intended!!! Thanks again”
“Lindsey was terrific! She gave frequent updates with pictures. She also has a corgi named Zoe that is extremely cute! We are glad Biscuit has a corgi friend now. Lindsey is also very thoughtful and fed Biscuit throughout his stay, also letting him use Zoe’s crate. I would definitely book again and recommend Lindsey to anyone else looking for boarding services!”
“mia was awesome!! she kept me in the loop with daily updates and pictures of our pups playful time together. my pup had a great time. mia followed the care instructions and was easy to communicate with. she had a large crate and playpen all ready for my pup upon arrival :)”
“Tina was great!! She took very good care of our dog, Daisy. She sent pictures with daily updates. It was also very easy arrange drop off and pick up times. It had been raining a lot so Tina was nice enough to give Daisy a bath at the end of her stay and went the extra mile and trimmed her nails. We would definitely use her again!”

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.
“I booked Susan at the last minute for a drop in visit for my two labs while we had a long day out of town. This was our first time using her, and considering we’d never met and I have a husband who is nervous about having people in our house we don’t know, it was a relief that everything went perfectly! She followed instructions to the T, sent a couple of pictures and we felt very comfortable with her. We will use Susan again!”
“Tamara did a great job feeding our three cats, including a high maintenance one. Sent pics and everything was clean and cats did great. Relieved to know we can depend on her in the future, thanks!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Smithville
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Hope! Booking last-minute was stressful, but she was so understanding and flexible with our schedule. Not only did she accommodate our late pick-up, but she also went above and beyond by sending us regular updates and adorable photos, which truly put our minds at ease. Her communication was exceptional, and it was clear that our dog was in the best hands. Whiskey came back happy and relaxed, and we couldn’t ask for more. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and flexible dog sitter!”
“Kyle was very friendly and professional when I dropped my dog off to him, he was flexible with my work schedule. I highly recommend him. I could tell that my dog had a good time when I picked him up. I for sure will use him in the future. Thank you Kyle!”

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 ;)
“Brittan was an amazing dog sitter and took very good care of our dog. She was kind and friendly and seemed to enjoy her job. She did well giving a recap of their day. I would definitely use her again if we are in the area.”
“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!”
“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.”

Dogs would be well cared for, get outdoor time (we have a covered patio for those hot days), and go on walks in our neighborhood. I bring my dog to the trails at Colorado River Refuge sometimes so if you are booking a long stay we might go out to the trails a few times a week for a nice long walk/playtime. I have a decent backyard, fenced with grass. We have a friendly dog at home that would love some playmates! We take our dog on walks around the neighborhood and play with her in our large backyard.

About: Hello there! My name is Sofía, and I can’t wait to care of your pet! Here are some things you should know about me : I have one dog living with me. I have volunteered at animal shelters, wildlife rescue facilities, and animal therapy organizations.

My backyard is unfenced, except for the patio area and a room sized square for dogs to pee/poop in. Dogs are not allowed on furniture, but they can be on the bed if they stay on top of the blanket.

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 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, 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 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.

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: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love caring for them! I’ve spent the last two years working at a dog park, where I handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities every day. I also train dogs and dog sit for many of my regulars, so I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with both pets and their owners. I have experience with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure every dog feels secure and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in great hands! I am available all times throughout the day to care for your animal. Your dogs routine is part of my daily routine. I make enough time to be sure that your pet gets the best care and attention it needs to be loved and happy. I take a detail oriented approach to pet care by following all instructions carefully whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or specific routines. I keep litter boxes clean, monitor their health and behavior, and make sure they get daily interaction and enrichment. I also respect the client’s home by keeping things tidy and secure, and I provide consistent updates for peace of mind. I have a nice good size back yard that is fenced for your pup.
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: 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. Because this is my full-time job, I am able to offer an exceptional level of quality care and attentiveness that sets my services apart.

About: I've taken care of many animals in the course of years. From guinea pigs to cats and dogs to fishes and farm animals. I love animals and love learning about them. I work a flex schedule at a warehouse where I can plan my own schedule, rest assured I can work around different schedules to make sure to take care of the pets and have them as higher priority I have many pets at home. I have cats, dogs and chickens. If your pet isn't keen to being around other animals I will keep them indoors with me and take them out on a leash for the bathroom or to walk around away from the other animals. Your pets are the priority, I can care for them from early in the morning to late in the day and do overnight stays
About: Since childhood our home was practically a zoo! I have friends, family ,coworkers & more who have relied on me to care for their pets when they’ve gone out of town or in the process of moving, etc I also have been volunteering at the local shelter fostering kittens and some puppies for about 6 years. I’m detail oriented, very loving and eager to care for your fur babies ! I currently am a stay at home mom and wife. I have lots of flexibility and a desire to care for your animals. Mostly free mornings and evenings for check ins but can do mid day check ins as well if schedule aligns. I have reliable transportation to get to and from check-ins and overnights. I also am comfortable providing medication on as needed basis. I will treat them as my own !
About: Being a bilingual pet sitter allows me to connect easily with both pets and their owners. I have a natural ability to bond with animals, making them feel safe and comfortable while their humans are away. Each pet is unique, and I adapt to their needs—whether they crave playtime, affection, or quiet companionship. I carefully observe their behavior, ensuring they feel at ease. Beyond feeding and cleaning, I focus on trust and security. The best moments are when a once-shy pet finally warms up to me. Pet sitting isn’t just a job; it’s about creating meaningful connections with with your pets. 🐾💕 Being a musician gives me the flexibility to dedicate time to caring for pets. My schedule allows me to be available when pet owners need me most, whether it’s for daily visits, overnight stays, or last-minute care. This flexibility means I can adapt to each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive the attention, companionship, and care they need. Whether it’s taking a dog on a midday walk, spending quality time with a shy cat, or simply being there for feeding and playtime, I love being able to offer reliable care. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my life, and I cherish every moment of it. As someone with a flexible schedule, I provide pet care both in my home and in clients’ homes. Since I currently don’t have a pet, I can welcome pets into my home, where they have space to feel comfortable and enjoy my yard. This setup allows me to give them dedicated attention in a calm environment. At the same time, I understand that some pets feel safest in their familiar surroundings. My flexibility allows me to meet them in their own home, keeping their routine intact and ensuring they feel at ease. Whether in my home or theirs, I prioritize their comfort, care, and happiness.

“If I could give 10 out of 5 stars I would! Definitely going to have my pup stay here again, when I go away. Kyle is so caring with the doggies, has an acre for them to run non-stop all day, sent me several pictures each day and was superbly communicative. I know my pup had a doggo-vacation for sure. Highly Recommend!”
“Hope and her husband were great! I couldn’t ask for a better people to take care of my pup and give me that peace of mind! They took her on a walk, hung out outside, played and relaxed inside and overall just genuinely took care of mine like it was her own! Highly recommend!”
“I can’t recommend Kelly enough! He was incredibly responsive and accommodating, even with my last-minute request. He was thoughtful in understanding Rambos behavior and needs during drop off and kept me updated with frequent photos throughout the week. His dog Jasper was wonderful with Rambo and they seemed to be having so much fun running in the huge backyard and playing together. It was clear Kelly cared about my pups wellbeing and ensured he had an abundance of attention, exercise and playtime. I felt at ease knowing Rambo was in such good hands!”

“Ronald watched our dog jack while we were out of town and provided excellent service and communication. Jack is older and had been coming off an illness so we were worried about leaving him but we were given much comfort with the care provided! We would recommend Ronald to anyone in the area!”

About: I am an avid animal lover who has seven dogs and two cats of her own. I love taking care of all animals and giving them the best life they can possibly have. All of my animals have had different personalities, so I know how to deal with all different types of animals and adjust to their needs. I’ve also fostered a number of dogs and am patient working with dogs that come from a variety of backgrounds and quirks! I am currently working remotely full-time, so I have the ability to hang out and play with the animals all day! I can keep an eye on all of them throughout the day and bring them outside to play or hang out in the fenced yard! I have a fenced yard, a gate to cover any stairs in case the animal cannot be near stairs, plenty of animal beds, food bowls, water, toys, etc. I also have three large dog crates if needed.
“Went for a little away time with my lady and Brianna came thru on like 2 hours of notice within blinking an eye. We dropped Pazzo off and after meeting her i was a lot more at ease in knowing that my dog would be in safe hands. Then she send a couple of photos on day 2 and informed me that Topaz was doing fantastic. We returned the following day and i saw that she wanted to confirm the drop off time because she had an errand to run in the late afternoon.. very punctual, affordable and accommodating and if we find ourselves in a similar situation going forward, we will be barking up Brianna tree. Lame pun intended!!! Thanks again”
“Tina was great!! She took very good care of our dog, Daisy. She sent pictures with daily updates. It was also very easy arrange drop off and pick up times. It had been raining a lot so Tina was nice enough to give Daisy a bath at the end of her stay and went the extra mile and trimmed her nails. We would definitely use her again!”
