“We love Becca! I was in a bind to find care for my dogs, as I recently adopted a doggo and needed a safe, loving environment for her since she is still in transition to her forever home. Becca’s spaces, amenities and genuine love for animals made this visit a dream for my sweet 4 legged babies. I can highly recommend the service and love she provides.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care of our baby, Oreo received during his stay. Erica really took the time to make sure she understood Oreo’s needs, preferences and medications. We loved how she provided us regular updates, including cute photos/video of Oreo enjoying his time there. When I picked him up, he was happy, content and clearly had a wonderful, comfortable stay. We are so relieved to have found such a reliable and caring boarding place for Oreo. We will definitely trust her with Oreo again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Our dog, Shiner, had the best Christmas Ever with Judy and his new friends. I wasn’t quite sure he was going to want to come home. A big thank you for taking such good care of him. There is nothing better than being able to leave town and know that your dog is in the best care.”
“What an amazing experience! Lucia is the most calm, kind, and caring people for animals. She and her family took such great care of our little Muffin. My puppy played beautifully with her dogs and came home looking confident and relaxed. I am so happy for the experience and if I weren’t moving across country next week, I would use her again and again!”
“Ollie had a great experience with Julie and Michael. Communication was great and they truly showed care and comfort for my pup. He can’t wait to return. Thank you!”
“Another fun filled stay with Holly and Brady! Our dog has the absolute best time with them. They're so easy to work with and I love the photos/videos/updates they send us; it's very clear they take great care of him. I have total peace of mind leaving my dog with them and I'd recommend them to anyone! Thanks again! We'll see ya next time :)”
“Yisel and Victor were amazing with our dog, Evee! They kept us updated every day with super cute photos and videos, which made us feel so much better while we were away. Communication was great the whole time—super easy to reach and always quick to respond. Evee clearly had a great time with them, and as a sweet surprise, they even gave us a Polaroid photo of her to take home! We’d 100% book with them again. They treated Evee like family, and we could tell she was in the best hands!”
“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.”
“Melissa was absolutely fabulous. She took such good care of my dog. She sent me pictures daily and kept me updated. She walked my dog daily. I am very happy and would definitely board my pet with her again.”
“Excellent care, attentive and responsive with an incredible space for puppies!! Ours was a bit of work but Patrick was great with communication and care for our six month old pup! Not to mention his home is better than any B&B you'll find in Austin! I think our doggie had a better vacation than we did which is just the way you want it!! Thank you Patrick and family!!!”
“I left my Trixie with Ashwani and Garima for 9 days and I can say they were wonderful with her! I got pictures and video updates making me feel good she was having a great time. I will definitely use them again and recommend them 100%”
“Chiao was absolutely amazing with Simba and Nala! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease. She kept us updated throughout their stay by sending loads of pictures and updates, which we truly appreciated, it made us feel so connected even while we were away. It was clear from every photo that Simba and Nala were happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. When we picked them up, they were relaxed, playful, and clearly had a great time. Chiao is caring, reliable, and genuinely loves what she does. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“Sooo thankful that Kara and Debra took great care of Nubi while my fiancé and I finally got to go on the vacation we had been planning for 8 years! They are both so kind and sweet, and super understanding. Would definitely recommend and rebook them. Wishing you both a Happy Mother’s Day and thank you again!”
“Jimmye Sue and Tom took such great care of our pups that I think my pups had a better vacation than we did! They cared for our dogs as if they were their own and sent pictures and comments every day to let me know that they were doing well. I think we'll work our vacations around their schedule in the future!”
“If you’re searching for a loving and caring home for your dog, look no further than Julie! She and her family provided exceptional care for our golden retriever while we were away. Julie was attentive, communicative, and kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind. As a mom, she truly understands the dynamics of family life and was wonderfully understanding of our needs as a family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Minting Y was an excellent choice , we were relaxed to leave our baby in caring and loving hands.I liked that she had uestions to understand Troy and if it was a good fit with her before accepting Troy in her house boarding”

Their dog, Kato, is the sweetest guy and even runs his own Instagram account! Check it out - you won’t be disappointed! (@katobugandfriends) I’m already planning to use them for our next trip!”
“So happy I found Holly! We scheduled a meet and greet and Harold instantly got along. When it was time to drop him off, he walked right in, barely saying goodbye to me 🤣. Holly kept in touch, sending pics of Harold’s adventures and I could tell he was in great hands. 10/10 will definitely be in touch for future trips”

“Ashley did a great job taking good care of my two cats. She clearly loves cats and spent good time with them, getting to know them and also sending me detailed updates. Thank you Ashley!!”
“Deonna was a blessing to have sitting both of our cats! She was very thorough following my care instructions and bonded with one of my more shy and timid felines pet 🐈. I loved the daily reviews from the visits and pics as well kept me from any worries. I would definitely have her care for my cat's again!”
“Billy was great with our two cats! We live more in the country, and he took the time to come see our house setup before we left. He was very understanding when a few issues arose from our end, and he provided great updates during his visits. We would definitely use him again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my whole life, from playful kittens to senior kitties who need extra gentleness. I understand cat personalities and make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m experienced with medications, feeding routines, litter boxes, and reading cat body language. I’m patient with shy or anxious cats and let them go at their own pace. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime with their favorite toy, or just some quiet company, I make sure your cat feels happy and cared for while you’re away.
About: As a life-long cat owner myself, I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. I currently care for a special-needs cat with FIV who has no teeth, so I'm experienced with specialized feeding routines, monitoring their well-being, and providing patient, attentive care. I'm comfortable caring for cats in familiar and new environments. Whether your cat is social, shy, playful, or just prefers their own space, I'll always respect their routine and make sure they receive the care and attention they need.
“I have large guardian breeds, and finding someone I trust with them isn't something I take lightly. Kate has consistently exceeded every expectation. She's calm, confident, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with dogs that can be intimidating to most people. What truly sets her apart is her proactive communication. I never have to wonder how things are going because she's already sent an update, photo, or thoughtful note before the question even crosses my mind. She treats communication the same way she treats pet care—with attention, professionalism, and genuine care. Kate has that rare combination of reliability and intuition. She notices the little things, anticipates needs, and makes both pets and owners feel completely at ease. Whether it's managing routines, handling strong personalities, or simply showing up consistently and dependably, she does it all with grace. My dogs don't hand out trust easily, and neither do I. Kate earned both. If Rover had a Hall of Fame, she'd be in it.”
“We really loved Elizabeth! The dogs, as well! One of my dogs, who is not affectionate with his kisses gave her a few licks! I am pretty sure she is the first person to get licks on the first visit. I know my dogs are in good hands with her!”
“Nathan is amazing. He’s thorough and SO communicative. He sent pet pictures and videos the entire time, and even when Diesel was being a little hellion was so patient and even spent some extra time with him to calm him down. Please use him, you won’t regret it. He’s going to be my regular sitter moving forward!!”
“With Tristen, all relief that my little’s were safe and sound and attended to meant the world to me. I was free to be the mother of the groom and focused on my son, his bride and the different events in their ceremonially weekend 💗 Thank you Tristen, and for the photos too.”
About: I have been dog sitting for various families in the greater Austin area since I was 15. I have experience with both puppies under 1 year and senior dogs. I love all kinds of animals and am passionate about caring for them well. I am currently in college, graduating in May where I plan to do pet care full time as I job hunt for my future career. I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am young and fit, so I am very comfortable taking your pet for a long walk as well as just hanging out and spending time with them if that is more their speed. I am a clean person and have experience with caring for dogs in their own homes.
About: I have had animals my whole life, my experience has entailed caring for dogs in their basic needs, maintaining training and working on other commands, as well as taking them to any appointments that were in order. I really enjoy time spent with dogs, and just like me I understand that most people consider their dogs to be family. I like meeting new dogs and learning all their little personalities. I would be great as a sitter or walker because I genuinely care about animals and feel that they make life so much more fun and enjoyable. I have experience with both larger breeds and small breeds so I am comfortable around all different kinds. I wish I could have more animals so this is the only acceptable alternative :)
“Kalli was awesome! She took excellent care of our pets and gave us regular updates so we didn't have to worry. I would highly recommend her and I'm sure we will be using her again.”
“Cirsten was great. She sent us photos and updates throughout her stay at our house, and took great care of our cat. The house was clean and kitty was happy and healthy when we got home!”
“April took care of our two senior dogs for two weeks. When we first met April, she clearly exhibited an understanding that caring for senior dogs necessitates dedication, flexibility, and compassion. She made time each day for cuddles, petting, and simply sitting together. These moments of quiet companionship deepened the bond and reassured both our dogs that they were safe and loved. She certainly had challenges, including changes in appetite, managing their medications and dealing with separation anxiety our dogs experienced. We enjoyed peace of mind during our vacation, confident that our pets were in April's care. She maintained consistent communication through both text messages and photos. Through these communications, we observed our dogs respond with tail wagging and gentle nuzzling. We greatly appreciate our acquaintance with April and intend to involve her in all future boarding arrangements for our pets.”
“Kristen did such an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were away. Our plans changed slightly and she was very accommodating and responsive to help however needed, which we appreciated so much. Will use her anytime we can and highly recommend, thank you!”

And after a nice walk they will be reward for dog dental treat.
About: Hello! I am a retired pet lover with a lifetime of experience raising and caring for dogs. Last year, my beloved dog passed away, leaving our home a bit too quiet. While I am not ready to adopt a new dog of my own just yet, I have an abundance of love, time, and attention that I would absolutely love to dedicate to your furry family member. Because I am retired, your dog will never be left alone for long stretches. My schedule revolves entirely around making sure they feel safe, secure, and loved. An Only Child Experience: We currently have no other pets in our home. Your dog will receive 100% of my undivided attention, care, and affection. Full-Time Companionship: I have plenty of free time to maintain your dog's exact routine—whether that means regular potty breaks, leisurely neighborhood walks, or just keeping them company on the couch. Experienced & Intuitive: Having loved and cared for dogs for decades, I understand their body language, their unique quirks, and how much they miss you when you're away. Because I am retired and my home is currently pet-free, pet care doesn't just fit into my routine—it becomes my routine. My schedule is incredibly flexible, meaning your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. A typical day with me includes morning and evening neighborhood walks, frequent backyard potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Because I am home most of the time, I can easily adapt to your dog’s specific feeding, medication, and nap schedules. Your pup will be a central part of my daily life, receiving full-time love and supervision In my home, your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. Safety First: Since I do not have a fenced yard, your dog will always be securely leashed for all outdoor potty breaks and neighborhood walks. I never take risks with safety, and your pup will be under my direct supervision every time we step outside. A Comfortable Environment: Inside, my home is a quiet, peaceful, and pet-safe haven with no other resident animals to cause stress. Your dog will have full access to comfortable spots to rest right next to me, whether they prefer the couch, a cozy dog bed, or curling up in a quiet corner. Following Your Rules: I strictly follow whatever house rules you have established at home. If they are allowed on the furniture, they are welcome on mine. If they have specific feeding times, crate preferences, or medication needs, I adhere to them precisely to ensure their transition to my home is completely seamless.

It is two stories with multiple rooms so there are always places for them to have space if they need it. There are plenty of beds, toys, and friends to play with while they are here! I do have two large kennels that I never use, but if your pet prefers to sleep in a kennel in its own space, I am happy to provide that for them. Otherwise, they will be free to relax wherever they would like.

Working in the medical field I’m extremely comfortable with any needs your pets may have. I’m excited to meet your animals and care for them in the same way I care for mine!! With love, safety, and of course a lot of fun! I’m blessed to have a flexible schedule and am available to care for your pet with consistency. If you need a one time thing, a consistent pet sitter, or have a fun vacation planned I’m happy to provide care to your pets while you’re away!! I can easily care for your dog in your home! I have experience walking, feeding, giving medications, crating, and enforcing the training you've worked so hard to teach!

“We love Becca! I was in a bind to find care for my dogs, as I recently adopted a doggo and needed a safe, loving environment for her since she is still in transition to her forever home. Becca’s spaces, amenities and genuine love for animals made this visit a dream for my sweet 4 legged babies. I can highly recommend the service and love she provides.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care of our baby, Oreo received during his stay. Erica really took the time to make sure she understood Oreo’s needs, preferences and medications. We loved how she provided us regular updates, including cute photos/video of Oreo enjoying his time there. When I picked him up, he was happy, content and clearly had a wonderful, comfortable stay. We are so relieved to have found such a reliable and caring boarding place for Oreo. We will definitely trust her with Oreo again in the future. Highly recommended.”
“Our dog, Shiner, had the best Christmas Ever with Judy and his new friends. I wasn’t quite sure he was going to want to come home. A big thank you for taking such good care of him. There is nothing better than being able to leave town and know that your dog is in the best care.”
“Another fun filled stay with Holly and Brady! Our dog has the absolute best time with them. They're so easy to work with and I love the photos/videos/updates they send us; it's very clear they take great care of him. I have total peace of mind leaving my dog with them and I'd recommend them to anyone! Thanks again! We'll see ya next time :)”
“Yisel and Victor were amazing with our dog, Evee! They kept us updated every day with super cute photos and videos, which made us feel so much better while we were away. Communication was great the whole time—super easy to reach and always quick to respond. Evee clearly had a great time with them, and as a sweet surprise, they even gave us a Polaroid photo of her to take home! We’d 100% book with them again. They treated Evee like family, and we could tell she was in the best hands!”
“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.”
“Melissa was absolutely fabulous. She took such good care of my dog. She sent me pictures daily and kept me updated. She walked my dog daily. I am very happy and would definitely board my pet with her again.”
“Excellent care, attentive and responsive with an incredible space for puppies!! Ours was a bit of work but Patrick was great with communication and care for our six month old pup! Not to mention his home is better than any B&B you'll find in Austin! I think our doggie had a better vacation than we did which is just the way you want it!! Thank you Patrick and family!!!”
“I left my Trixie with Ashwani and Garima for 9 days and I can say they were wonderful with her! I got pictures and video updates making me feel good she was having a great time. I will definitely use them again and recommend them 100%”
“If you’re searching for a loving and caring home for your dog, look no further than Julie! She and her family provided exceptional care for our golden retriever while we were away. Julie was attentive, communicative, and kept us updated with pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind. As a mom, she truly understands the dynamics of family life and was wonderfully understanding of our needs as a family. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Minting Y was an excellent choice , we were relaxed to leave our baby in caring and loving hands.I liked that she had uestions to understand Troy and if it was a good fit with her before accepting Troy in her house boarding”
“Gwen and Dalton take the best care of our sweet dog. They take him on walks, play lots of fetch and give him all of the love! I receive photos daily, which is nice. Their dog, Kato, is the sweetest guy and even runs his own Instagram account! Check it out - you won’t be disappointed! (@katobugandfriends) I’m already planning to use them for our next trip!”
“Courtney is absolutely amazing! She recently watched my mini schnauzer, Mimi, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met, I could tell Courtney genuinely loves animals and would treat Mimi like her own. While staying with Courtney, Mimi was truly spoiled — she got to sleep in their bed, snuggle on the furniture, and was cared for like a member of the family. Courtney kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Mimi up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt right at home. It’s such a relief knowing I’ve found someone I can fully trust to care for my girl. If you’re looking for a sitter who will love and care for your pet like family, Courtney is the one. Mimi and I are so grateful to have found her!”
“Susan was excellent with our two dogs and sent pictures to re-assure us that they were getting along fine with her dogs. She was very accommodating when I misjudged our drop off and pick up times. Our dogs seemed happy there.”
“Both my dogs love hanging with Billy and I love to get photos of my happy pups from him. I have an older dog with pretty bad arthritis and a younger one with tons of energy and they both do great there even over night.”
“Manny is a fantastic sitter. He not only takes care of your pup, but also teaches them good habits and manners. He is very knowledgeable and flexible. I will choose him ever time over other facilities and the value can’t be matched. Nice home, fenced yard. Everything you could ask for. Treats them like his own family.”
“Nathan was a great pet sitter! Left our 13year old lab with him and his wife for five days and everything went smoothly. You can tell they love animals and updated me on how our dog was doing often and with pictures. Our dog was in great hands. Would definitely book with Nathan again in the future.”
“Leilani was awesome! She sent me plenty of updates and took care of my dog! She worked with me on my budget and was flexible when my flight was delayed by a few hours. Highly recommend!”
