“Kyle was absolutely wonderful with scout. This was our first time using Rover and we were not sure what to expect. Scout came home exhausted! We got lots of pictures and videos each day. Thank you for taking great care of scout!”
“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.💗”
“Carmen kept me updated throughout Zoe’s stay. She sent plenty of pictures and videos. My dog seemed happy! I would definitely recommend Carmen and plan to use her in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“Jennifer was great, she was very responsive when we first reached out, during our dogs stay she provided daily updates and pictures. She was also flexible during drop off and pick up. We will use her again soon!”
About: Howdy yall! My name is Brett and I live in Smithville (78957), just east of Austin. My house has a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and is great for extended stays. I’ve raised many breeds of dog, including helping the birthing process! Must be friendly with other dogs, as I have dogs who get along great with all manner of beasts. I work from home and literally have no social life in this small town. Point is, I am a home body that is always working on my home and sanctuary. Dogs here get constant attention, treats, and lots of yard time. I love taking long walks in the neighborhood with the dogs and it’s a great area for it! There are several areas for dogs to sleep and make themselves at home. Each room has a dog bed and the living room couch is owned by the dogs. I am currently kenneling one dog who has a leg injury, so I’m patient with pups and know how to administer medications.
“We used Kat to board our 4 month old puppy! She is amazing!!!! He came back better behaved then we left him and you could tell he had a blast with her dogs, which the positive socialization really acted as a huge bonus. Thanks Kat for being on call for us, so flexible and providing the best care for our little family member. It was so nice to leave him for a week and not worry!”
“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: Finding someone you can completely trust with your cat can be stressful. Whether your cat stays at my peaceful home or I care for them in yours, here is what I can offer: Dedicated Full-Time Professional: Pet sitting is my full-time profession, not a side hobby. This means your cat’s routine, safety, and well-being are my absolute, undivided priority every single day.

Respectful In-Your-Home Care: If I care for them at your property, I strictly honor their environment, keep their routines perfectly on track, and can help look after your home (plants, mail, etc.) while you are away.
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 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 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.

“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!”

“I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Hope. She is incredibly responsive, kind, warm, and welcoming. Has taken such amazing care of Ghost my husky/german shepard mix. He absolutely loves going over to her house for daycare while I work my long shifts as a nurse. She provides daily updates on his behavior and overall wellbeing as well as pictures. I feel my dog is loved and very well taken care of in her home. She is the best dog sitter I have ever had and I’m thankful to have found her. Definitely someone that anyone looking for pet care should highly consider. I can’t think of anyone better out there. The services she provides are something that anyone looking for pet care needs to highly consider, as she sets the bar high. I will no doubt be using her long-term and I hope others will book her for their pet needs because they will not be disappointed.”
About: Dogs are a huge part of my life, and I truly care about their health, happiness, and comfort. I own a dog food company and a founder of Paws on the Street, a 501(c)(3), so caring for animals is more than just something I enjoy. I’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they get the love, attention, and dependable care they deserve while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day for your pooch. Safety, trust, and comfort are very important to me. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard that gives dogs plenty of space to safely play, explore, and get exercise in a secure environment.
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.

About: I have been around dogs for 41 years and taken care of them for over 36. I've also worked with and cared for cats, goats, horses, pigs, chickens and some other exotic animals here and there. I have experience in training dogs both on and off leash with e-collars. 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. I have access to 1 or 2 small to medium crates, &/or if you prefer to provide a crate, I can crate your dog as well. If dogs are well trained and well behaved, I also have access to a 20 acre farm in the neighborhood so we can go there for exercise.
“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!”
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 ;)
“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.”
“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.”
About: Hi everyone! I've had a love for animals since I was little, I've been taking neighbors, family members, and clients dogs out for walks and pet sitting for 9 years. I care for my own dog at home. Currently trying to be full time on Rover! I just moved to Lubbock, but i am heading back home to Ausin for the summer. I will be back in August for school and hopefully still full time. I live in a neighborhood with a park, have a fenched back yard, doggy gate, plenty of toys and a kennel. Any of these can be used!
About: I have experience with puppies from age five months. I have my own dog, Goldie, a golden doodle. I’ve had her for 3 years ☺️ We are a dog loving family & want to open up our home to some more furry friends! I’m a stay at home mom, so I am home almost all day every day. 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: 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: 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. When volunteering at shelters, I bathed dogs, cleaned up their poop, played with, and walked them as well as played with cats. Additionally, I enjoy outdoor activities very much, so I am definitely in shape to walk your dogs and play with them. I hope I can be of service to you and your dog(s). 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. If you know your dog won’t run away, we can play in the unfenced area of the backyard :) I do have a 30 ft leash that I normally use to play with my dog outside. I work a few hours during the week, 2:30-6pm from Monday to Friday, but I am usually available outside of this chunk of time (plus traveling time). I will care for your pets however is needed and instructed. I have taken care of multiple senior dogs and dogs that take oral medication.

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.
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: I’ve been caring for dogs, and other animals, for as long as I can remember. Animals are my passion and I love every single kind I currently don’t have a job, trying to find an at home or anima care job. In the meantime I would love to care for your animals. I’m available all day every day. I live in a small apartment with 2 dogs already, sadly I won’t be able to home your dog, however I am more then willing to come to your house to care for them. I’m a stay at home mom, so my availability is pretty open. My husband and I only have 1 car and my husband works nights, so it is more challenging to take care of pets past 4:30pm. I cannot board pets in my home, I have a tiny house and no fence. I can come to your home to care for them, no problem.
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 taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was little. Having pets in the home growing up shaped who I am today, and I am able to grow bonds quickly with practically every animal. No animal is too big or too small, they all deserve the best love and care we can offer! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! From early morning feedings or late night potty trips, with enough notice I can help whenever! I have two large dogs who I take care of every day. We have a fenced in yard but I’m always keeping an eye on them when they are outside. My older dog has medical needs so I am experienced with medication schedules and keeping an eye out for side effects.

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. We are now settled on a beautiful one-acre of land with tons of open space for your pets to enjoy! It is the perfect, peaceful setting for animals to explore safely and relax.

About: Currently a licensed veterinary technician. Can administer meds, which will help owners of older dogs feel more at ease, and notice signs of illness/distress easily. I own three friendly corgis. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with them out in the yard. Always available to house sit and keep pets at my house, It is very rare for me to say no. We have our lower yard fenced for dogs to run and play. I'm into cuddling with dogs on my couch, but if you don't allow your dogs on your furniture, I won't allow them on mine either. I am also comfortable and experienced in watching a variety of animals. I have watched horses, cows, sheep, goats, bunnies, reptiles, chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, hamsters, and hedgehogs. I can host most caged exotics in my home and a different rate that can be discussed at booking. I do prefer payment via cash, check, or venmo. Have a great day! I work full time at a veterinary clinic but my home is very close to it. I come home on lunch everyday to let out my animals. I’m usually up quite early on days off so they’ll have maximum snuggle time I do my best to care for pets in their homes just like their people would, so they will be less stressed with their people gone
About: My entire life we have always had pets. I am a huge pet lover. Growing up I don’t think there was a time we ever didn’t have a dog. Now currently I own an almost 5 year old german shepherd and 2 cats. I would do anything for my pets and would love to be there for yours. I currently do work full time so feedings and walks would be the easiest for me schedule wise. But anytime I do have the free time I would love to pet sit for you! I am such a big animal person I would love to play with them go on walks/ runs, do some training, and make sure they get plenty of food and treats!
“Sierra is super sweet and my pup Khaleesi absolutely loved her. She’s extremely responsive and went above and beyond to come meet us before her first walk with my dog. She has great energy and will absolutely be booking again. Thank you!”
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: 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.

About: I have operated a professional pet care business in the Austin area since 2014. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, sugar gliders, rats, mice, birds, chickens, and sheep. I am Pet First Aid & CPR trained, have experience giving both oral and injectable medications, and am passionate about all things animal. Providing quality pet care is my full-time job, and I love what I do! I don’t travel much/ever since I prefer to stay home with my own beloved pets, which means I’m rarely unavailable to take care of your pets too. I have a fenced yard, 5 dogs, 2 cats, and I share a fence with a small flock of sheep. There’s never a dull moment here on our little farm, and your pet’s safety and well-being is always of utmost importance to me.
About: I’ve always had animals from a young age from small bunnies to big horses. We have an excellent relationship with Welch Veterinary Clinic and Hartland Grooming if you want us to take your dog for a doggy spa day. My 16 year old daughter, Brittan and I spend time to take care of our pets and we love your pets like our very own! We live on a farm, we have four friendly dogs for playmates. We take the dogs on walks on the back roads, lots of playtime, and snuggles at night. We have a small crate for small dogs, and a small room area for big dogs and also a fenced in yard and outdoor kennel.
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

“Kyle was absolutely wonderful with scout. This was our first time using Rover and we were not sure what to expect. Scout came home exhausted! We got lots of pictures and videos each day. Thank you for taking great care of scout!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
About: Howdy yall! My name is Brett and I live in Smithville (78957), just east of Austin. My house has a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and is great for extended stays. I’ve raised many breeds of dog, including helping the birthing process! Must be friendly with other dogs, as I have dogs who get along great with all manner of beasts. I work from home and literally have no social life in this small town. Point is, I am a home body that is always working on my home and sanctuary. Dogs here get constant attention, treats, and lots of yard time. I love taking long walks in the neighborhood with the dogs and it’s a great area for it! There are several areas for dogs to sleep and make themselves at home. Each room has a dog bed and the living room couch is owned by the dogs. I am currently kenneling one dog who has a leg injury, so I’m patient with pups and know how to administer medications.
“We used Kat to board our 4 month old puppy! She is amazing!!!! He came back better behaved then we left him and you could tell he had a blast with her dogs, which the positive socialization really acted as a huge bonus. Thanks Kat for being on call for us, so flexible and providing the best care for our little family member. It was so nice to leave him for a week and not worry!”
“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: Hi. Send me a message and let me know how I can help! I have had dogs all of my life and enjoy spending time with mans best friend. I currently have one lab/pit mix and would get a dozen more if I could! I have experience with many different types of pets and I’m happy to help out with whoever you have at home. In the past I’ve cared for: rabbits, chickens, fish, turtles, cats and dogs! I work from home some days so I have the flexibility to come walk, pet, feed, potty and watch after you pup as needed through the day. You tell me what would make your pet happy and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I work only with friendly dogs. High energy is fine as that is what I have at home! I am accepting bookings for boarding, drop-ins, and house sitting.
“Tina did a great job. My dog needs a lot of attention and hates to be alone. Tina and her dogs provided all that he needs, and he was really happy when I picked him up. Tina updated me every day on how he was doing, so I did not have to wonder. Overall, highly recommend!”
About: I've cared for animals from birth to senior care. I hope you'll trust me to care for your pet with the same love and affection that I do my own. I am home and live alone. There are no children here and I am available for constant love, care and affection. I hope you'll trust me to care for your baby as though they're mine, with all consideration that you would hope for. I have a fenced yard on 2.5 acres and I love to work outdoors, gardening, planting saplings, etc. Your pet would be constantly monitored and played with during all hours.
“We are so thankful Kayla watched Remy over the extended weekend! She was very attentive, provided great photos and updates, and is very knowledgeable about puppy stage care. She is trustworthy and provides open communication at all times. We feel lucky to have found her and hope to work with her again! Remy didn’t want to leave her dog-friendly home! We would 110% recommend!”
“Jennifer took amazing care of my dogs while I was away. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures of them. Would have her watch them again and I definitely recommend her.”
“My dog had a great time staying with Claudia and was well taken care of throughout the stay! She sent several updates on how he was doing along with pictures of him being included in the family. I’d feel confident boarding him with Claudia again. Her care and professionalism is much appreciated!”
