“There are just so many good things to say about Becca. From the beginning to the end of the stay, communication was superlative in my opinion. She included daily (sometimes twice daily) text, videos and pics. Admittedly, we were concerned about leaving our 100 pound, hyper Labrador...he is just alot to handle (also left his lil side-kick buddy-she is no issue) but with her communication and outdoor video pics, we knew we had a winner! Her set up is attached to her home. We really liked having her and her husband right there. The dogs, and other animals, are boarded, very professionally I might add. Our dogs were released into their own play area and yard where they could see other dogs, yap at each other, and socialize in a very safe and controlled way. The boarding area was a nice "Den" clean and cool in temperature. Our dogs stayed together. In all of my years of boarding, I have never actually had a walk through. Becca invites you in and shows you around...very transparent in her setup. I would not hesitate to use her again. Great experience!”
“Sherron was so sweet and attentive! Her love for animals is apparent as soon as we met. My dog seemed so comfortable at her place and the communication was great. I highly recommend And we will definitely be booking again !”
“Always very efficient and a great stat for our dog who has a ton of fun at Erica’s. Booked this stay on short notice which was extremely helpful. Will continue booking with Erica. Highly recommend!!!”
“Our dog had a health flair up right before her vacation at Kristina’s and Kristina took such great care of her while we were gone. We could see how happy our dog was when Kristina sent us daily updates. We are so happy to have found Kristina. We will definitely book 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!!!”
“If you are looking for a loving, caring and safe household to care for your fur baby, Michael and Julie are your caretakers! They provided outstanding care plus updates and photos of my dog playing with theirs and having a good time. Thanks again, Michael and Julie!! See you next time.”
“Took very good care of our two pups and we were extremely happy with their services. We had an issue and could not make the scheduled pick up time and they were very understanding and accommodating.”
“Swetha was able to watch my German shepherd mix last minute and did a fantastic job! I got multiple pictures throughout the day. He was returned happy and healthy. Would definitely book again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Nathan took excellent care of our dog. He sent (amazing) pictures and updates frequently, which we really appreciate. Will definitely board our dog with him again!”
“April is an amazing sitter! Teddy had so much fun staying with her and her family. They took care of him like their own. She sent plenty of pictures. I could tell Teddy did not want to leave when I picked him up. I would definitely use April for my future pet sitting needs!”
“Kara was great with my baby Siggi. I've recently moved and needed a sitter for a trip where I could not take my dog. Kara was able to accommodate my schedule and kept me updated while I was away. Siggi seems like she had a good time :)”
“Leo had such an amazing time! He felt so comfortable and cared for the entire stay. The sitter sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel completely at ease. Leo can be a little sensitive, but he was so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Truly grateful for the wonderful care!”

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.
“Chealsea is so wonderful! My outdoor cat didn’t need as much tending to but with cold weather I definitely was glad she could get a look at her and make sure all was ok. Would book Chealsea again of course! Peace of mind with good check ins!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Georgia was incredible! She was very diligent in ensuring my baby girl would be taken care of and very communicative. I’ll be booking with her in the future for sure, and I’ll be recommending her to all my furbaby parents. Thank you so much Georgia!”
“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!!”
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.
“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!”
“Marina was fantastic with our crew of five cats! She was incredibly communicative throughout the sit, sending regular updates with photos that put our minds at ease every day. She gave all the kitties their regular outside cube time and even kept our fish thriving. What really stood out was how she won over our most particular cat, which is not an easy feat and speaks to her patience and genuine care. We’d trust Marina with our cats (and fish!) again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley showed up on time every day and spent a lot of time with our cats. We got plenty of pictures and updates. The cats were calm and comfortable when we got home, the litter box areas were very clean, and everything was super chill. Will definitely book Ashley 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!”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“Cirsten is lovely. She followed instructions to the letter and I know she was genuinely concerned for my kitty's wellbeing. I appreciate her thoroughness and promptness in visits to my home and will ask for her help next time! Thank you, Cirsten.”
About: As a dedicated animal lover, I stand out with my deep understanding of canine/human interaction, and I offer personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. I am an expert handler of various breeds, administering medication, and creating a stress-free environment for your pet. With a genuine love for dogs and a knack for anticipating their needs, I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I have two dogs of my own, Rocky, a 5.5 yr old Belgian Malinois, and Lola, a 3 yr old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Your pet will have all of the fun they can handle and will leave with 3 new best friends! I work from home 5 days a week and have incredible flexibility. I am home most of the of the time and when I am not, I am usually not too far away for too long. I can provide breaks and all the attention your pet needs almost anytime needed. I have 2 dogs to help keep your pups happy. Lola is the friendliest girl with lots of energy and an unrelenting desire to make new friends everywhere she goes. Rocky, is a retired police k9 who has the perfect balance of energy and calmness to welcome any new pup into our home. I routinely let them outside to play and use the restroom at a minimum of once every 2 hours. My pets are allowed anywhere in the house. 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.
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 :)

“If you're scrolling & not sure who to choose...look no further. Leilani is the only pet sitter you need. An exceptional sitter who goes above and beyond. Her love for animals was obvious from the moment I contacted her. She treated my pet with so much care, patience, and genuine affection. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. I received thoughtful updates, and my pet was calm, comfortable, and well‑cared‑for when I picked her up. A true professional with a big heart. Mario”

Whether it’s for your house and or fur baby I was in the Marine Corps for 10 plus years, following orders was engrained in me lol.
“Nicole has been fantastic to work with. Our fur baby is such an important part of the family, we are always cautious of whoever is caring for her. Nicole is not only very kind & professional, but also reliable and flexible. She administers our pups medications, spends quality time playing/walking her, and also has been kind enough to clean her up if she happens to get dirty. Our dog loves her! I can’t rave about her enough, we are so grateful to have found her! 10/10 recommend!”

I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly believe they’re family—not just pets. I currently share my home with Josie, my sweet 10-year-old Pug, and Bella, my energetic 2-year-old rescue Pit mix. Having dogs at very different life stages has given me experience with everything from senior care and slower-paced walks to playful energy and enrichment. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends care for their dogs—whether that meant walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company while their humans were away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I live a healthy, active lifestyle and enjoy trail walks and neighborhood strolls, always tailoring activity levels to each dog’s needs, age, and personality. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog—feel free to reach out with any questions! My full time job is mostly remotely, which gives me the flexibility to plan my day around a pet’s needs. This allows me to provide regular walks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensure secure environments and safe walks, and treat both pets and homes with care and respect.

“There are just so many good things to say about Becca. From the beginning to the end of the stay, communication was superlative in my opinion. She included daily (sometimes twice daily) text, videos and pics. Admittedly, we were concerned about leaving our 100 pound, hyper Labrador...he is just alot to handle (also left his lil side-kick buddy-she is no issue) but with her communication and outdoor video pics, we knew we had a winner! Her set up is attached to her home. We really liked having her and her husband right there. The dogs, and other animals, are boarded, very professionally I might add. Our dogs were released into their own play area and yard where they could see other dogs, yap at each other, and socialize in a very safe and controlled way. The boarding area was a nice "Den" clean and cool in temperature. Our dogs stayed together. In all of my years of boarding, I have never actually had a walk through. Becca invites you in and shows you around...very transparent in her setup. I would not hesitate to use her again. Great experience!”

“Leo had such an amazing time! He felt so comfortable and cared for the entire stay. The sitter sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel completely at ease. Leo can be a little sensitive, but he was so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Truly grateful for the wonderful care!”
“Maegan and her daughter were fabulous! I was worried my dog might be a lot to handle. Maegan assured me she was familiar with the breed I have. Updates and pictures were sent. I could see my dog was attaching herself to Maegan’s daughter. And I knew she was getting a lot of attention. It was great!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! They truly went the extra mile in every aspect of our dog's stay. From the moment we dropped our dog off, they made both us and our dog feel like family. Communication was outstanding, and we received so many adorable photos and updates throughout the stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious our dog was loved, well cared for, and having the best time. We are so grateful and will absolutely be booking with them again. Highly recommend!”
“We are repeat clients of Julie, and once again, her care for our dog was as exceptional as ever. This time, we had to leave unexpectedly due to a death in the family, and Julie and her family were incredibly accommodating and understanding. Their kindness and flexibility made a difficult time a little easier, knowing our pup was in such great hands. We truly appreciate the love and attention they provide, and we'll continue to use Julie's services without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“We loved Nia!! She sent us so many updates and pictures , and took amazing care of our dog! I highly recommend her and will use her in the future for sure! She was so cute with our dog and took him on many walks. Thank you!!”
“Manny took great care of our two pups while we were on vacation for a week. He was organized, very responsive, and kept us updated with pictures. We also had a last minute emergency and needed to extend the booking, and he agreed right away at the regular rate, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and will book with him again.”
“Ashwani and Garima’s services worked great for our dogs - Yogi and Tuffy. Our furballs seem to be very comfortable with their family and always have a good time when they get dropped. Ashwani sends pictures every day to keep us anxious parents at ease. Will definitely continue using their services in the future.”
“For the first time, our medium size Goldendoodle stayed a week with Melissa & family. Melissa kept us updated with many photos & texts which we appreciated! Our pup seemed to enjoy his time with them. She was easy to reach, took good care of our pup, provided playtime & walks. He seemed to be in excellent care—Thanks Melissa!”
