“Michael did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs for 11 days. They came back happy and healthy and tired too. We so appreciate them. Our dogs are pretty energetic at 1 and 3 years old.”
“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!!”
“Our pup had a great stay with Lucia. She was so nice to watch our girl last minute. We received several pictures of our pup throughout the stay and it looked like she was having a great time. We would definitely have Lucia watch her again!”
“Grant, Ashley, and Finn are fantastic hosts. Blanca and Gigi were calm for their first meeting, and happy when we picked them up after their stay. Grant was super communicative, flexible, and helpful. We will definitely use them again when our little delinquents need a place to stay.”
“Katy is amazing! She clearly loves caring for dogs and does a fantastic job. My apprehensive dogs did not take long to feel relaxed in her home upon our first meeting and came home happy. I love her pictures and updates throughout their stay. Thank you, Katy!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Erica took such thoughtful, attentive care of my two senior dogs, both of whom need daily medication and a little extra TLC. She was incredibly patient and gentle, making sure they got their meds on time and giving them all the cuddles they needed to feel at home. Her updates and photos gave me total peace of mind, and it was clear they were comfortable, relaxed, and well loved in her care. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust, especially for my older pups. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”
“Malu and family are excellent caretakers. They made sure Odis was happy and active during his stay with walks and even a run! The house, yard and neighborhood set up are a dog’s (and dog owner’s) dream. Their dog Shadow makes for a great companion and Malu’s communication is spot on. You will not regret hiring Malu to care for your pet.”
“My puppy Stella had a great time with Stephanie and her dogs. Stephanie sent tons of pictures and videos of Stella playing at her amazing house! She has a pool which is perfect on hot days, Stella sure enjoyed it. I would definitely rebook and refer everyone to this sitter!”
“Nikki did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. Would HIGHLY recommend her. It was our first time leaving our 7mo old puppy so we weren’t sure how he would do. Nikki and her dogs took great care of him and he had a blast. Kept us updated with frequent photos and videos as well.”
“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!!!”
“Stephanie was a great find! She is kind, attentive, and communicates well (who doesn't want pupdates while they're away?!). Our dog became fast friends with her sweet dog, Truman. We will definitely use Stephanie again!”

“Brandon and his family took wonderful care of our boys Bobby and Midnight. They provided videos and updates throughout their stay. When we came to pick them up from their doggy vacation they were happy as could be and we could tell they had been given the same level of care and affection they’re used to receiving at home. I’d let Brandon care for my pups again in a heartbeat.”
“Lily is an awesome sitter for Bailey. Obviously a dog lover (most important trait) but also has a great house and yard and playmates. Plus she’s friendly and responsive.”
“Carla and the family were simply the best - always communicating, sending updates and photos, while caring for our pup like he was one of their own. Norbert was cared for so well and enjoyed being loved while making new puppy friends! We felt so comfortable having him in such caring hands for our first Rover experience and know that future trips are possible with an extension of Norbert's family being grown to these wonderful peoples. Thanks for being awesome, Carla and family!”

“Nicole watched my kitties over the holidays. It was the second time she has pet sat for me. I will absolutely ask her to pet sit for me again! She is responsible, timely and provides great care! I felt comfortable and had peace of mind the entire time I was gone (5 days). Thanks Nicole!”
“Leilani did a great job taking care of our kitties. She’s friendly, personable, a great communicator and shared detailed photos. We will definitely reach out for future care!”
“Highly, highly recommend Sara to look after your pet(s) while you are away. Sara is sweet as can be, tended to details, kept me posted, and sent pics at each visit. It was these thoughtful details that made me feel at ease being away from my precious four-legged family member.”
About: I have taken care of a disabled cat (partially blind and healing from a fractured mandible) as well as cats with depression. I always do my best to entertain them, spend lots of time with them, talk to them, and give them LOTS of belly rubs. I also grew up with cats in the home and I love them.
“I needed my dog checked on last minute since I had to stay for a meeting out of town and would be home late! Cindy responded quickly and the picture she sent showed me my pup was very happy!!”
“Lucia was amazing! Very reliable and professional, and went above and beyond to send us great photos and videos of our cats while we were out of town. We felt great knowing they were in such good hands!”
“Caleb did a good job of taking care of CoCo last minute and made sure he had food and water . However, we agreed on arrival between 2pm and 4pm, and he did not arrive until after 5pm, which caused me to worry about CoCo. He also brought someone else into the home without giving me a heads up, which made me uncomfortable.”
About: Hi my name is Hunter, and I’m here to watch your precious pets :) I have grown up with animals my whole life, I have a dog of my own, and when I was 18 I worked at a doggy daycare.

I volunteered at an animal shelter where I would bathe, train, and walk dogs. As well as play with the cats as well! I have a dog who I take on two walks a day and play with other pups when we can! I live in an apartment, but I can house a crate as well or block them off if needed. I also have a crate for my dog as well. As of now I am a chiropractor with flexible work hours.

I also have a turf area in my apartment and a dog park near by!
“Susan did a great job of taking care of our two cats while we were away for the week. Having never met her before, the cats warmed up to her quickly and she was good with communication with us and left everything in great shape when we got back. We would definitely recommend Susan and will choose her to pet sit again.”

About: Hi, I’m Alena — a mom of four wonderful children, a travel enthusiast, and a lifelong animal lover. I grew up surrounded by pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs, and spent much of my childhood wishing I could be Dr. Dolittle. For more than a decade, I shared my home with three cats, and over the years I’ve gained extensive experience caring for animals of all ages and temperaments. I previously fostered dogs through Austin Pets Alive and have spent many vacations caring for pets through TrustedHousesitters. I’m comfortable administering prescription medications to both cats and dogs, as well as handling basic grooming needs. Today, I share my home with two cats and two dogs. For the comfort and safety of all pets, my dogs live separately from any boarding guests. Boarding dogs stay on the upper floor and do not interact with my pets. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets, get to know their unique personalities, and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible work schedule, so I’m available to board your pet any day of the week. I would love to take your dogs for a walk, too! For boarding, I provide a safe space and a pet bed in my bedroom, separately from my own pets. Dogs have free reign in the fenced backyard and enjoy walks around the neighborhood twice a day, ranging from 10 min to 2 hours, depending on their needs.
“We boarded Milo with Lily for two weeks while out of town and then had her dog sit again for a few days. Our puppy was always excited to see Lily and came home happy after ever stay. Lily was very accommodating, responsive, and sweet with our puppy! She also provided regular pictures and updates. Highly recommend having your pet stay with Lily!”
About: IttyBittyPups under 15lbs will have fun and be safe with me! I have only two spots for IttyBittyPups at a time, so you can feel safe knowing your babies are given plenty of one-on-one attention. No young children in the house, no cats, no larger dogs; just my two tiny Yorkies for your baby to play with! Doggie door stays open all day (weather permitting) and they have a full, securely fenced back yard to play in! I monitor them closely to make sure don’t get overheated, which small dogs are more apt to do. I’m glad to help continue any potty training that you are currently doing for your IttyBittyPup…Come play! I am happy to schedule a one-hour free playdate here for your reassurance; you can stay and watch the pups play while we have coffee ☕️🙂 I am home all day, so your IttyBittyPup will never, ever be left alone (except in case of some sort of emergency, and in that case, I have emergency backup people in-house, secure crates, and I will contact you immediately!) In case of any emergency requiring evacuation, I will protect your baby like my own family! I am all about dogs, so they will get plenty of playtime and cuddles from me and my two tiny Yorkies 💕💕 They will also be allowed on the furniture, which is fully protected with waterproof / washable covers. IttyBittyPups arriving before 8am will get a group leash morning walk. IttyBittyPups staying overnight will get a second group leash walk around 7pm or later, to avoid the heat. I have a doggie door that stays open all day, weather permitting, and a securely fenced in back yard with netting above to protect IttyBittyPups from birds of prey! My two tiny Yorkies LOVE to run and play and wrestle raucously, but gently, with other small dogs. The largest total number of IttyBittyPups here at any given time will be four dogs. So you can be sure your little dog gets the cuddles and attention they deserve!

I have a fenced backyard and I can also crate your dog. I am flexible to do what is the most comfortable for your dog.
About: I love going on walks and there are lots of hiking trails where I live. I am very responsible. I have cared for an elderly dog who was 16 and he was on a very strict schedule with his medication and meals. I have given baths and brushings to many dogs. My friends come to me when they need someone to watch there fur babies while they are out of town or when they are at work and can’t let them out to go to the bathroom. I always do my best to make sure that the animals are happy and loved. I’m very active. If I have to leave and go somewhere I always make sure that the animal is safe while I’m gone. I never leave the house until they have gone to the bathroom and I always make sure there are food and water bowls in multiple spots.

About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated animal lover and proud dog mom to three pups of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. To me, animals aren’t just pets—they’re family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels.

I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every animal as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions you provide, because I know the little details matter.

I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space while making sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they’re used to. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, communication, and trust. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. 🐾

About: Choosing a dog sitter is about more than availability - it is about trust. As a veteran and recently retired elementary school teacher, and someone with over 8 years of hands-on pet sitting experience; my life has been rooted in responsibility, patience and attentive care. Both careers have shaped me to be punctual, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to the well being of those in my care. My background in education allows me to be especially patient and attentive to behavior cues. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior or needs a little reassurance, I provide steady, kind and consistent care. Additionally, my husband is a medical provider, who works from home, so administering medications or supporting pets with medical needs is something we are comfortable and confident handling. If your dog requires extra attention or specialized care, you can feel at ease that extra support is readily available. My goal is simple: for you to leave and feel completely confident - and return to a happy, well cared for dog. A Day in Our Care When pets stay in our home, their comfort, safety and routine are my top priorities. Morning Our day begins with a gentle transition into the morning - potty break in our fully fenced in yard, fresh water, and breakfast served according to your pet's normal schedule. Morning walks are unhurried and tailored to your dog's pace and needs. After their walk, pets enjoy playtime or relaxed companionship settling in for a short mid-morning nap. Midday Midday includes supervised outdoor time in our fenced yard, and intentional play sessions suited to your dog's energy level. I stay attentive and fully present. Afternoons & Evenings Afternoons may include another walk, light structured playtime, or peaceful companionship depending on your pet's needs. I balance activity with downtime to prevent overstimulation. Dinner is served according to your instructions. Evenings in our home are peaceful and predictable, helping pets feel settled and secure. Nighttime Pets sleep in a safe and comfortable space aligned with what they are used to at home. My goal is for them to feel relaxed, safe and truly at ease. My home offers something many cannot - I intentionally create a calm, structured, nurturing environment so they feel secure from the moment they arrive. I do not believe in simply "watching" dogs - I believe in actively caring for them in a way that makes them feel safe, understood and secure. With me, your pet is not one of many. They are thoughtfully cared for with close supervision, balanced activity, and genuine affection. If you are looking for reliable, attentive and experienced care; where your pet's routine, comfort and well being truly come first - my home is designed for that.
About: I grew up loving and living with animals my entire life! There hasn't been a time where I haven't lived with an animal of some sort. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even fish! Dogs, fish, and various sweet rodents have been my life until I was 24, then I met the two feline loves of my life-Carl and Dixon! All of my friends have either a cat or a dog (and often, multiples of each!) so I am consistently surrounded by fellow animal lovers and caregivers who have taught me everything I know. I have cared for and looked after friend's and family's dogs and cats from as young 6 weeks all the way up to 19 years old! I'm experienced with senior cats and dogs especially. I am a freelance opera singer who works from home remotely (and can work anywhere if needed) so I am able to drop-in, walk, or pet sit pretty much any time or any day of the week with ample notice. I will be caring for your pet in their own environment so they feel secure and relaxed and can keep calm while you're away. I will also follow your established routine for your pet such as feeding, walking, playtime, as well as light grooming and medicine administering if needed. If house sitting, I am willing and able to do things like watering plants, collecting mail, and other light household duties to keep you and your pet's home running as smooth as possible. This goes without saying but cleanliness and orderliness are a priority and I will leave your home as clean as I found it after each visit/homestay. I will happily provide detailed and frequent updates on your pets with photos and videos so you feel peace of mind while you are away. Open and clear communication is key to yours and your pets' well-being :) Not all pets are created equal and I am committed to providing personalized, attentive, and professional care ensures your sweet babies are happy, healthy, and well-cared under my watch.

“Carla is an amazing dog walker! She’s always on time and responsive. Our dog Ciara loves her morning walks with Carla, and comes back super tired every time. She also takes lovely pictures of Ciara for us to see”
“We had Adriene help out for 2 hours of dog care in separate walks for 2 very large Leonbergers that she had never met. The boys were well taken care of during the day. She was very responsive and communicated frequently during the day. Thank you!”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was very young. I would house sit for my neighbors until I was old enough to volunteer. I volunteered at an animal shelter where I would bathe, train, and walk dogs. As well as play with the cats as well! I have a dog who I take on two walks a day and play with other pups when we can! I live in an apartment, but I can house a crate as well or block them off if needed. I also have a crate for my dog as well. As of now I am a chiropractor with flexible work hours.

About: Love pitties! Own one myself :) Get along and love all type of dogs. Had passion for fur babies from early age. Growing up I'd just bring stray dogs home. Skills: I train dogs, can give meds, have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I'm currently in between jobs therefore have full availability Mon-Thur during morning, daytime and evenings. I also could be available some weekends if we schedule ahead of time. I go off of your requirements. Safety first, if I'm walking your dog, I'm definitely putting it on the leash. I have lots of experience of caring for dogs. I'm good at training and giving commands. I grew up with Rottweiler, Amstaffs, German Shepherd and nuts. Personally own pitbulls for over a decade. My secret is love, treats and discipline.
About: I didn’t set out to become a dog sitter; it just happened naturally. A friend needed help with their dog, then a neighbor, then a coworker. Ten years later, I’m still doing it, and still loving every minute of it. What I’ve learned from caring for dozens of dogs over the years is that every single one is different. Some need a lot of stimulation and adventure. Some need calm reassurance and a gentle hand. I’ve worked with big dogs and tiny ones, young puppies and senior pups, social butterflies and dogs who take a while to warm up. The ones who take a while to warm up are honestly my favorites. I treat every home I enter and every dog I care for with the same respect and attention I’d want for my own. You’ll always know how your dog is doing. I send photos and updates throughout every visit because I know that’s what matters most when you’re away. My sweet spot is Wednesday evenings through the weekend, that’s when I’m most available and love filling my schedule with new pups! I’m flexible and quick to respond, so if you’re not sure whether I’m free, just message me. Chances are, I can make it work! Good news, I come to you! All of my services take place in your home, which means your pup never has to leave their safe space. I bring the love, you provide the couch. During house sits, your dog runs the show; furniture, bed, all of it is fair game. I’m there to make sure they feel like nothing has changed, just with a new best friend temporarily in charge. I handle medication, special routines, anxious personalities, and everything in between without batting an eye. Your home gets treated like my own tidy, respected, and exactly how you left it. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I know where the nearest 24-hour vets in Austin are and will always prioritize your dog’s safety. The bottom line? Your dog will be so comfortable they might not even miss you. Almost.
About: I'm Tabbatha. Been in Austin for 20+ years. I had my Golden retriever 14 years and miss him so much! I had him since he was a puppy and he got to nanny both my babies. I'll treat your dog like I would want someone to treat my dog- With love and patience. Animals are a treat to be around and they deserve our respect and attention. I am a stay at home mom with two sons who love dogs also. They will most-likely be with me, especially during daytime hours. We love being active, exercise, and being outdoors, so if your dog likes to run a bit, or play fetch for an hour, I've got you covered! I love big dogs and small dogs alike but have a soft spot for the big big dogs. 🐶 I am currently self employed and my kids enjoy being homeschooled for the time being. I have the flexibility to structure my days however works best for us and your doggo! We love having furry visitors at our place. We have comfy dog beds, space to play outside in the courtyard and lots of time for cuddles!
“Hunter is punctual. He made friends with Almond quickly. He took her on a good walk. He is willing to learn the skills Almond has learned from her trainer. He is helpful. I highly recommend Hunter.”
About: I’ve babysat and taken care of a blue heeler for the past few summers, but the kid is old enough now to take care of himself and his dog! I have a 10 yr old maltipoo who has a few medical conditions, so I’m great with giving medication along with food. I love to walk and try to walk at least 8 miles everyday, so I’d love to walk your dog! I currently don’t have a job, so I’m really available any time of the day. I’d be more than happy to stay for however long you’d like and play with them! Since my dog is little, I usually carry her outside just because of other animals that are sometimes out because she likes to chase them (foxes, deer, vultures). When I walk her, I’m very aware of cars passing by or other large dogs that might scare her.

“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!!”
“Grant, Ashley, and Finn are fantastic hosts. Blanca and Gigi were calm for their first meeting, and happy when we picked them up after their stay. Grant was super communicative, flexible, and helpful. We will definitely use them again when our little delinquents need a place to stay.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Erica took such thoughtful, attentive care of my two senior dogs, both of whom need daily medication and a little extra TLC. She was incredibly patient and gentle, making sure they got their meds on time and giving them all the cuddles they needed to feel at home. Her updates and photos gave me total peace of mind, and it was clear they were comfortable, relaxed, and well loved in her care. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can fully trust, especially for my older pups. Highly recommend and will definitely book with her again!”
“Malu and family are excellent caretakers. They made sure Odis was happy and active during his stay with walks and even a run! The house, yard and neighborhood set up are a dog’s (and dog owner’s) dream. Their dog Shadow makes for a great companion and Malu’s communication is spot on. You will not regret hiring Malu to care for your pet.”
“My puppy Stella had a great time with Stephanie and her dogs. Stephanie sent tons of pictures and videos of Stella playing at her amazing house! She has a pool which is perfect on hot days, Stella sure enjoyed it. I would definitely rebook and refer everyone to this sitter!”
“Nikki did a fantastic job taking care of our dog. Would HIGHLY recommend her. It was our first time leaving our 7mo old puppy so we weren’t sure how he would do. Nikki and her dogs took great care of him and he had a blast. Kept us updated with frequent photos and videos as well.”
“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!!!”

“Brandon and his family took wonderful care of our boys Bobby and Midnight. They provided videos and updates throughout their stay. When we came to pick them up from their doggy vacation they were happy as could be and we could tell they had been given the same level of care and affection they’re used to receiving at home. I’d let Brandon care for my pups again in a heartbeat.”
“Lily is an awesome sitter for Bailey. Obviously a dog lover (most important trait) but also has a great house and yard and playmates. Plus she’s friendly and responsive.”
“Carla and the family were simply the best - always communicating, sending updates and photos, while caring for our pup like he was one of their own. Norbert was cared for so well and enjoyed being loved while making new puppy friends! We felt so comfortable having him in such caring hands for our first Rover experience and know that future trips are possible with an extension of Norbert's family being grown to these wonderful peoples. Thanks for being awesome, Carla and family!”
About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated animal lover and proud dog mom to three pups of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. To me, animals aren’t just pets—they’re family. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every animal as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions you provide, because I know the little details matter. You can expect consistent updates, photos, and open communication so you always feel connected and at ease. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and give your pet a happy, stress-free experience. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 With three pups of my own, our home already runs on a pet-focused routine—morning and evening walks, scheduled meals, playtime, and lots of love in between. Your pet would fit right into a calm, consistent environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or yours. At home, your pet will be welcomed into a calm, pet-friendly environment alongside my three dogs. We follow a structured routine that includes regular walks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and plenty of affection. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and included—just like part of the family. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special preferences. I also keep your home tidy and respect your space while making sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they’re used to. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, communication, and trust. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. 🐾
“Absolutely adore Alex!! She took such incredible care of our dog, and it is so clear that she genuinely loves animals. Alex instantly connected with our dog which helped our pup feel right at home. She would talk so sweetly to him and sent us the best picture updates that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Great communication. She took care of our dogs like they were her own. She definitely has a gift for caretaking. This was my 2nd time using her services and I will book again”
“Mercedes took great care of our pup Mila. She was very responsive & sent photos of her everyday. Mila was immediately comfortable in her home and we picked her up very happy. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you again for loving on our pup!”
“Maura and Shawn took the best care of Sophie! They took her on multiple walks and played fetch with her in their yard as well as let her run around to her heart’s content. Maura also sent me multiple pictures and updates each day and I could tell Sophie was happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. I was able to enjoy my vacation because of them, thank you again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much for taking such great care of Max—your updates, kindness, and the way you made him feel at home meant the world to us. It was clear you truly connected with him and treated him like family. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re so grateful and would absolutely love to book with you again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a warm, reliable sitter!”
