“Becca is a consummate professional with GREAT communication and pictures. Her setup is a unique, kennel like atmosphere where dogs can come and go via a doggie door into their own little play area. They can visualize other dogs, yet they are separated. This provides an element of safety as pets are sometimes unpredictable. Professional setup!”
“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!”
“Erica is truly amazing! My 6 month old puppy LOVES Erica’s dog, Ella. Erica does an amazing job communicating and truly treats Doug as her own. We are so grateful to have found Erica!”
“So grateful for Sherron - she cared for my 2 Dachshunds for a week. The communication was excellent. She even asked extra questions to make sure she met all their needs and then some. I felt completely at ease while on my trip knowing that they were good hands. It was like my weenies had their own vacation and were not completed stressed out when they came home as in the past. It was obvious that they were cared for, loved on and happy when I picked them up. Definitely weenie dog approved. Highly recommended!”
“We had an amazing experience with Kristina! 😊 She provided great communication, wonderful photos and videos, and her family with their friendly dogs made our pups feel right at home. Our dogs, Coco and Leo, had a blast making new friends! 👍 What truly made our experience special was when Kristina celebrated Coco’s birthday while we were away - it was our first time leaving him on his special day, and she made it truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Kristina 100%! I wish I can give her 100 stars if we could ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟... She's top- notch care with love, and we'll always use her services again. ❤️ Thank you, Kristina, and your beautiful family for everything! 🙏🥰"”
“Julie and Michael were able to help us out on just a few hours notice and took excellent care of our dog. They sent updates and pictures everyday, and Nieve seemed like she really enjoyed her time there. We’ll definitely be rebooking soon!”
“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!!!”
“Nia has been amazing! She’s very communicative and responsive. We scheduled a meet and greet before our trip, and since she has a dog as well, we were able to make sure the dogs got along and they did great together. She also has a large dog park right outside her home, which is perfect for an active dog. We’ll definitely consider booking with her again for our next trip.”
“Here’s a concise 2–3 sentence version: We had an amazing experience with Harshita our pet sitter! She took exceptional care of our dog, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Lucia was AMAZING! She took care of our puppy for a long weekend, accommodated our change in plans, and went and checked on her for us while we were out. She was responsible, sent updates, and very kind! We recommend her HIGHLY”
“Leilani is absolutely amazing, we have a 12 y.o Pomeranian and he was loved and so well looked after. We have had bad experiences in the past with our old man, so we are extremely picky. I cant say enough good things about Leilani, she is our now go to sitter, so much so our little man didnt even look back when we dropped him off he was so happy to spend time with Leilani were his is treated as royalty. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“I left my Sweetie Pie with Tracy and I was a little nervous at first. But from the minute we walked into her home I knew my doggie would be in good hands while I was out of town on vacation. Tracy sent updates and the very cutest pictures every day. I will use her again and would also recommend her to others.”
“My wife and I are so happy we found Yisel and Victor. They are such nice people and they treated our dogs with so much love and care. They communicate so well and were super flexible with pickup and drop off. They even gave us cool Polaroids of our pups at pickup. Excited to have found our dogs some backup parents whenever we are out of town. Thanks again Victor and Yisel, y’all were awesome!”
“Alison provided such great care of our dog and sent pictures daily. It clear that she was well cared for while we were traveling and it was comforting knowing this. We would definitely use her services again and highly recommend.”
“Danny and Jose were absolutely fabulous! They took such great care of our dogs and were flexible as our needs changed! Also, amazing communication and pictures throughout! We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“My dog, Blu, stayed with Melissa for 12 days during the July 4th week, and the experience was exceptional. Melissa was extremely easy to communicate with from the beginning. We promptly scheduled a meet and greet and finalized the stay without any hassle. Her dog, Mila, is also incredibly sweet and well-behaved, which made Blu's stay even more enjoyable. I had to make changes to the reservation, and Melissa was very kind and accommodating. Throughout Blu's stay, she kept in constant communication and shared pictures regularly. Blu enjoyed his daily walks, plenty of playtime, and lots of love from everyone in her family. He came home extremely happy. Melissa is a gem, and I will definitely be booking her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and loving home for their dog.”

“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“I could not be happier with the boarding experience my 2 cats had with Billy. He was very accommodating and kept me informed of how they were adjusting with pictures. I highly recommend Billy and will definitely board our cats with him again.”
“Michael did a great job! My dog’s love him! When I’m away, Duke only eats for him. He gives them baths also. Sometimes I’m gone working 3-4 days a week. I know that they are in good hands. That’s always a relief for me. My 3 dogs are so happy to see him. He has been watching them for 4 years now!! Thank you!”
About: As a cat mom of two, I have hands-on experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and of course giving plenty of attention and cuddles when they want them. I also understand that some cats need their own space and time to feel comfortable with a new person. I’ll always follow your cat’s routine and your instructions to help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. If your cat becomes sick or needs medical attention, I’m also willing to take them to the vet when needed and with your permission.
“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.”
“I liked her a lot, and I knew she had a regular job, but I wished I had found someone to hang with my cat and not just sleep there. She only could spend a couple of full days . I repeat, I knew that going in, and because the previous person I had arranged through Rover bailed on me in the last few weeks, I was just thankful I had found Ashle!”
“Vanessa is so great with our kitties. I feel so much better being away, knowing she is looking after my babies. She sends pictures and gives me updates daily. She is so great with my cats, even when they have some “cattitude”.”
“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!!”
“Courtney took my request last minute when our prior dog sitting plan fell through. She was extremely responsive and made me feel comfortable that my two dogs would be well taken care of. I loved getting the updates and photos from each visit and being able to communicate between visits. My dogs were clearly comfortable with her, and were able to play, cuddle, and be themselves while I was gone. It gave me great peace of mind of my travels to know they were so well cared for.”
About: I have plenty of experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, and giving cats space when they need it. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
“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.”
“Chelsey is amazing. She is kind, professional, and our dog Maggie loved her immediately. Chelsey took the time to get to know our dog, her play and food habits, and she makes sure Maggie is loved for the entire visit. My fiance and I loved meeting Chelsey so we booked weekly recurring visits to help Maggie have more fun when we are at work.”
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.

“Our puppies absolutely love Erica! She is a truly wonderful person and really loves and cares about animals. She is so attentive and works with them on training and getting used to other dogs. We love our weekly time with her!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, I am comfortable handling animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Throughout my life, I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, livestock, small animals and more. This diverse experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique needs and behaviors. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely strolls, playtime, or simply some extra companionship during the day, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual personality. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same compassion, respect, and attention I give my own. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 I am an entrepreneur and home schooling mama. I spend most of my time outdoors on my quiet, humble 10 acre property, with all my animals. I mostly work from home and sometimes in and out of the house for work calls. I have a beautiful, large fenced in deck that overlooks our property canyon. Additionally, I have a chain link dog run right off the deck. I regularly exercise my pups around the property as well. My personal dogs (3 Dachshunds and a Golden Retriever) spend most of the day outside playing on the deck and sun bathing. They have access to clean water at all times. I generally crate the smaller dogs at night. My cat prefers my daughter’s bedroom, so he’s rarely seen. I am happy to accommodate whatever needs and requests you have for your pet.
“Billy was great with our dog. Was awesome with updating us how he was doing during his stay. we appreciate him being an amazing sitter for our baby! And also not to mention going beyond with caring for Dolemite. We will definitely be going back to him when we come back through Texas. Love Billy and also Dolemite made a life time friend with Billy”
“Excellent communication and wonderful sitters! Flexible with my appointment and very attentive to Minerva's wants! Will definitely be using in the future.”
“Allison was a great sitter for our people & dog-loving Maltese. We needed help at the last minute and she quickly responded to assist. We’d definitely use Allison again!”
About: Hi! My name is Chealsea! I am a veterinary technician and pet sitter and am looking to expand my client care! I love animals and I love pet sitting! I have been taking care of animals at work and in my free time for over 10 years now! I love all animals from cats to horses to exotics! I hope to be able to provide care for your pets in your home while you are gone as well as taking dogs for walks during the day! I am new here on Rover but I am excited to start this new journey and I hope that I will be taking care of your pets for a long time from now! Thank you so much for your time!
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver. I've had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a big part of my family. I currently have a sweet Black Lab mix who I medically fostered (now adopted), which has given me hands-on experience providing extra care, following special routines, giving medications when needed, and paying close attention to changes in a dog's behavior and well-being. I also regularly help care for my parents' senior Dachshund, so I'm very comfortable with older dogs who may need a little extra patience, attention, or a slower pace. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play, prefers a relaxing day on the couch, is nervous around new people, or needs extra care because of age or medical needs, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat every dog as an individual and will follow your instructions and their normal routine as closely as possible. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is doing well. ❤️ I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and become someone you can count on for their care! I'm currently retired so I have time to pop in and check on dogs for potty breaks or walks during the day. I have a 7 year old so I just have to adjust around school times. I have 7 acres fully fenced and a fully fenced separate backyard for your dog and my black lab to run around. I also have a baby gate that creates a little room for my dog (and yours) to hang out if I step out.
About: As a life long dog owner myself, I understand the importance of providing a safe and protected environment for your pet along with exercise and attention. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt my availability to your specific needs whether you are taking an extended vacation or just an overnight stay. I've been caring for pets for many years and understand how important routine is. I am available to stay in your home to maintain that routine or provide drop in service.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It just comes naturally to me. Today I share my home with Arya, my 5-year-old Shorkie, two little kids, and a fully fenced yard where dogs run free and feel at home. Your dog won’t just be “watched” here — they’ll be loved. I work from home, so your pup has my attention throughout the day. I’m available all day with occasional short outings for my kids’ activities Your dog is treated like family from the moment they arrive. Arya and your pup will have a fully fenced yard to roam and play freely. I provide regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always know how your fur baby is doing. Every dog settles in at their own pace and I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in our home.
“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”
About: I live in a smaller, cozy home in Leander, just outside Austin, with a small fenced backyard that's perfect for sniffing around, sunbathing, or a good game of fetch. I work from home full-time, so I'm never rushing out the door — I'm around all day, every day, which means your dog gets my full attention, whether that's extra walks, cuddle time on the couch, or just having someone nearby when they want company. I offer boarding, house sitting, and drop-in visits, and I'm happy to work with dogs of all kinds under about 100 lbs. Whether your pup needs a relaxed home to stay in while you're away, a familiar face checking in on them at your place, or a sitter who'll treat your house like their own, I'd love to help. After a lifetime with dogs, I know that every one of them is a little different — some want to snuggle all day like Allie, others want more activity — and I take the time to figure out what makes your dog feel comfortable and loved. If you're looking for someone patient, experienced, and genuinely home all the time, I'd be honored to look after your best friend. I work from home full-time, so my schedule is wide open — there's no clocking in and out for me, which means your dog isn't waiting around for a set walk time or stuck alone for hours. Bathroom breaks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles all happen throughout the day, whenever your pup needs them, not on a fixed schedule. Since I'm home basically around the clock, I'm able to stay flexible and adjust to whatever routine your dog is used to. our dog's safety and comfort come first. My backyard has a tall fence, so there's plenty of secure space to play, sniff around, and soak up some sun without any worry. My home is smoke-free, and it's just me and my senior English bulldog, Allie — she's about as low-key as they come and gets along easily with other dogs. I know meeting a new sitter can feel like a big step, so I'm always happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand if that puts you more at ease — but I also know it's not necessary for everyone, so I leave that totally up to you. While your dog is with me, I'll send regular photo and text updates so you can see exactly how they're doing. One thing I bring that a lot of sitters don't: years of caring for an English bulldog. Bulldogs need a close eye kept on their breathing and overall comfort, and that habit has stuck with me — I watch every dog in my care just as closely, whatever the breed. Once you've taken care of an English bulldog, honestly, every other breed feels easy by comparison.
“Lucia did an amazing job with our Yogi! She kept us updated on him and sent lots of photos while we were away. We’re so blessed to have found her and will definitely be using her again next time we are out of town!”
“Wonderful family! Our goldendoodle was comfortable and had a great time. They were very flexible with our plans and made it easy for us on our trip to Austin! Thanks so much!”
“Gunja was absolutely wonderful with Churro! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. She was caring, attentive, and treated Churro like he was her own. We also loved that he had Milo around for company. They got along so well! 🐶 Gunja kept us updated throughout his stay and sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Churro was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with him and would absolutely leave Churro with Gunja and Milo again. Highly recommend!”

I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages during their stay.

“Thank you for working around the weather we had this week to ensure that Brice got her daily walks in. Her walk is an important part of her daily routine. We will reach out to schedule walks the next time we are in town !”
“I hit a home run with Shima! I have an 8th month old German shorthair pointer with high exercise demands daily. Shima was looking to gain knowledge in this field and has been walking, running and training my pup for a month now 2-3 times a week. She does an exceptional job with him and is patient to his needs! Working with a GSP can be one of the toughest breeds to work with. I come home and my pup (Troy Aikman) is happy and relaxed! I work a lot during the week so it is relieving to know he is in such good hands. I would highly recommend Shima for your needs. Troy lights up with energy when she shows up! Thank you Shima!”
About: I started as a little kid taking care of my family dogs.As I got older I watched my grandparents dogs over night.Now I have dog name Daisy "Animals aren't just a job for me – they're my entire world! Every day is an adventure filled with wagging tails, purring companions, and the joy of understanding what makes our furry friends tick. My home is often buzzing with happy pets, and I truly believe that living alongside them teaches us so much. This daily immersion in the world of pets means I bring not just experience, but a deep, personal understanding and endless patience to every animal I care for."

I'm meticulous about following your specific instructions, maintaining routines, and ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for your furry family members. You can trust me to treat your home with the utmost respect and to provide vigilant, loving care so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away."
About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 20 years. I’ve watched multiple friends and family dogs for them. I’m an animal lover. I just prefer dogs because I’m allergic to cats, even though I own two outside. I’ve worked with rescuers and fosters to help out in the community. This side job would fill my heart just loving your fur baby. I have 5 animals, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a chameleon. They are spoiled babies. I have to make sure they are taken care of on a daily basis. I would love them! I would play with them, walk them, feed them, whatever needed. In my home my animals are spoiled on a daily basis.
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Granite Shoals near Marble Falls, and I’m happy to travel within an hour of the Austin area to care for your pup. 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.

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!

Finding someone you trust with your pets can feel stressful, and my goal is to make that process easier by providing safe, reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate care while you’re away. I’m a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) with over 10 years of hands-on animal care experience, including veterinary technician-level experience and skills. I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager, giving me years of experience caring for pets in their own homes, following detailed instructions, and maintaining their individual routines while their families are away. Throughout my experience, I’ve cared for pets of different ages, personalities, and medical needs—from playful puppies and energetic dogs to senior, anxious, recovering, and special-needs pets requiring additional attention. My veterinary background and technician-level experience include: • Oral and injectable medication administration • Subcutaneous fluid administration • Diabetic and special-needs care • Senior pet care • Post-surgical and recovery care • Monitoring changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall health • Caring for pets with anxiety or specialized routines • Following detailed medical and household care instructions • Fear-free handling techniques and low-stress approaches 🐾 Experienced With Nervous, Senior & Special Needs Pets 🐾 Every pet has their own personality, and I believe the best care starts with understanding and respecting that. I especially enjoy working with pets who may need a little extra time, patience, or specialized attention. Whether your pet is shy, nervous, anxious, elderly, recovering, or has unique medical or behavioral needs, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I focus on building trust, maintaining their normal routine, creating a calm environment, and helping them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 What You Can Expect From Me 🐾 • Regular updates and photos • Careful attention to your instructions and routines • Patient, compassionate, and individualized care • Enrichment, companionship, and plenty of attention • Knowledgeable care backed by hands-on veterinary experience • Someone who treats your pets like family 🐾 Additional Services I Offer 🐾 • Nail trims • Baths and basic grooming • Ear cleaning • Litter box care • Medication assistance • Poop scooping • Additional care needs upon request I’m also comfortable caring for a variety of animals, including unique pets, exotics, and large animals. Whether your family includes furry, feathered, scaled, or other special companions, I’m happy to discuss their needs. 🐾 Why Choose Me? 🐾 As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate. With my Certified Veterinary Assistant background, technician-level experience, years of pet-sitting experience, and genuine love for animals, I’m able to provide both knowledgeable and loving care. Pet care is currently my primary work, and it is something I truly love. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved pets! 🐾❤️ Pet care is currently my primary work, and it is something I truly love doing. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets receive the time, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether your pet thrives on a structured schedule or prefers a more relaxed routine, I’m happy to adapt to their needs and keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same care and attention I would want for my own pets. I currently provide care in your home because I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. Staying home helps reduce stress and allows them to maintain their normal routines, especially for pets who are shy, anxious, senior, or have special needs. Your pets’ safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully review each booking and care plan to make sure I can safely and appropriately meet their needs. I will always follow your care and safety instructions carefully and will never leave pets unattended outdoors. While caring for your pets, I love keeping them happy and engaged with activities appropriate for their personalities and abilities. This may include neighborhood walks, fetch, favorite toys, enrichment activities, lick mats, puzzle toys, training refreshers, or simply spending quality time together. If I need to step away for errands or other responsibilities, I will make sure your pets’ needs and agreed-upon schedule are taken care of. As a Certified Veterinary Assistant with technician-level experience and a fellow pet parent, I understand how much trust goes into allowing someone to care for your animals and enter your home. I treat your home with respect and your pets with patience, compassion, and love. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing they are in knowledgeable and caring hands while you’re away. 🐾
About: I grew up around cats and dogs they’ve always been apart of my family. I also had the opportunity to watch and care for friends and neighbors pet anytime they need some one too. I currently do work a full time job ! But my love and passion for our FOUR LEGGETT FURRY FRIENDS is 24 / 7 !!! Although I stay in a comfortable size apartment. I can crate your dog if needed. And leash your pets so that we can take a stroll in and around our safe dog park when it’s time to stretch their legs when need.
About: I’m a special education teacher with a patient, caring, and dependable personality. I treat every dog like family, follow routines closely, and provide plenty of love, attention, and updates while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I am on summer vacation and need extra income. I love pets, my family loves pets, and we just would love to have your pet feel like they are at home! I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh water, meals according to their schedule, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions carefully. I also provide regular photo and text updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: A safe, clean home away from home, where every dog is treated like family. With lots of love, personalized attention, and help from my loyal German Shepherd, assistant, Lucy, your pup will feel right at home! But sets me apart from others is I can help crate dogs, potty train, to giving them their meds and walking them with a ginger lead for those elderly ones. I am currently working less than part-time. And for me, there’s no better way to spend that free time than with dogs. I also include them in my daily tasks. Every Dog’s comfort level is respected. I have both large and small crates available for dogs who are crate trained or whose owners prefer scheduled crate time (up to 90 minutes per day). I also use an indoor playpen and separate areas within the home to create healthy boundaries. Allow for quiet rest periods and ensure all dogs remain comfortable and safe. My goal is to provide personalized care, maintain each dog routine as closely as possible, and create a calm, loving environment, where pets feel secure, happy and part of the family while you’re away. It might be cliché, but I treat every dog as if it was my own.

“Becca is a consummate professional with GREAT communication and pictures. Her setup is a unique, kennel like atmosphere where dogs can come and go via a doggie door into their own little play area. They can visualize other dogs, yet they are separated. This provides an element of safety as pets are sometimes unpredictable. Professional setup!”
“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!”
“Erica is truly amazing! My 6 month old puppy LOVES Erica’s dog, Ella. Erica does an amazing job communicating and truly treats Doug as her own. We are so grateful to have found Erica!”
“So grateful for Sherron - she cared for my 2 Dachshunds for a week. The communication was excellent. She even asked extra questions to make sure she met all their needs and then some. I felt completely at ease while on my trip knowing that they were good hands. It was like my weenies had their own vacation and were not completed stressed out when they came home as in the past. It was obvious that they were cared for, loved on and happy when I picked them up. Definitely weenie dog approved. Highly recommended!”
“We had an amazing experience with Kristina! 😊 She provided great communication, wonderful photos and videos, and her family with their friendly dogs made our pups feel right at home. Our dogs, Coco and Leo, had a blast making new friends! 👍 What truly made our experience special was when Kristina celebrated Coco’s birthday while we were away - it was our first time leaving him on his special day, and she made it truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Kristina 100%! I wish I can give her 100 stars if we could ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟... She's top- notch care with love, and we'll always use her services again. ❤️ Thank you, Kristina, and your beautiful family for everything! 🙏🥰"”
“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!!!”
“Nia has been amazing! She’s very communicative and responsive. We scheduled a meet and greet before our trip, and since she has a dog as well, we were able to make sure the dogs got along and they did great together. She also has a large dog park right outside her home, which is perfect for an active dog. We’ll definitely consider booking with her again for our next trip.”
“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!”
“Leilani is absolutely amazing, we have a 12 y.o Pomeranian and he was loved and so well looked after. We have had bad experiences in the past with our old man, so we are extremely picky. I cant say enough good things about Leilani, she is our now go to sitter, so much so our little man didnt even look back when we dropped him off he was so happy to spend time with Leilani were his is treated as royalty. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“My wife and I are so happy we found Yisel and Victor. They are such nice people and they treated our dogs with so much love and care. They communicate so well and were super flexible with pickup and drop off. They even gave us cool Polaroids of our pups at pickup. Excited to have found our dogs some backup parents whenever we are out of town. Thanks again Victor and Yisel, y’all were awesome!”
“Danny and Jose were absolutely fabulous! They took such great care of our dogs and were flexible as our needs changed! Also, amazing communication and pictures throughout! We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
“My dog, Blu, stayed with Melissa for 12 days during the July 4th week, and the experience was exceptional. Melissa was extremely easy to communicate with from the beginning. We promptly scheduled a meet and greet and finalized the stay without any hassle. Her dog, Mila, is also incredibly sweet and well-behaved, which made Blu's stay even more enjoyable. I had to make changes to the reservation, and Melissa was very kind and accommodating. Throughout Blu's stay, she kept in constant communication and shared pictures regularly. Blu enjoyed his daily walks, plenty of playtime, and lots of love from everyone in her family. He came home extremely happy. Melissa is a gem, and I will definitely be booking her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and loving home for their dog.”
“Great dog sitters that sent photos often and gave updates on my pup. I am so glad I was able to have them take care of Bentley during my travel. I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Everything was perfect! Susan took great care of Winnie. She sent fun pictures every day too! We had not ever left her at someone’s house before and Susan made her feel right at home! Would definitely use Susan again.”
“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.”
“Manny was a great with my dog Bexar! This was my first time having my dog be watched for a few days from this app and Manny made everything smooth and personable. He sent a photo a day of my dog and was available for any questions. Bexar looked like he had a great time and had many walks! I will definitely book with Manny again.”
“Swapna & Ravi took wonderful care of Zara! They constantly updated us with photos of her and she had so much fun with their dog, Sky. Zara was provided with a welcoming environment and we would recommend them to any pet families!”
