Highly-rated overnight sitters - Theon
“Shane was a great sitter for our Jax! You can tell he really loves animals & he sends pictures throughout the stay! He responds quick and communicates well throughout the entire process. I will definitely take Jax to him again when the need arises!”
“Isabella was fantastic with our big nervous Great Dane! We loved the pictures and updates as he braved being around her own fur babies. I would absolutely trust her with your own, and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Andrew did a wonderful job sitting our two dogs. One of our dogs is elderly and needs regular diaper changing while our other dog took some time getting used to being away from us. Andrew provided frequent updates, photos, and videos. My elderly dog needed emergency medical care and Andrew didn’t hesitate in taking the dog to the vet where he received prompt treatment and recovered quickly. It’s easy to see that Andrew really loves dogs and enjoys looking after them. He has a calm, kind demeanor and was able to constructively handle a few difficult situations caused by my dogs. I would certainly have Andrew sit my dogs again. I trust Andrew and he treated our dogs as if they were his own.”
“Gracie spent 8 days with Lynn for the first time and seemed to really enjoy her visit. She was perfectly at ease with Lynn upon meeting her for the first time and came home relaxed and happy. We will use her again.”
“Heather has been such a great sitter for my dog. She is patient and understanding, especially since my dog has separation anxiety. She is super responsive, professional and friendly. I'm so glad I've found such a reliable person & family to watch Ridley while traveling.”
“Kelly V. is amazing. I knew my little girl would be safe with her the moment I stepped into her home. My dog suffers with separation anxiety and this was the first night she's been away from me in ten years. I had no idea how she would react. Kelly was calm and unfazed, and that helped my dog to feel relaxed. Kelly sent me lots of updates and photos. I'm so grateful to her and happy to have found a wonderful pet sitter!”
“Cathrin was wonderful! She took great care of Wylie and kept me updated throughout his stay. Despite his neediness, she made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Monse took great care of my puppy! I loved all of the photo updates that I received! My puppy looked so happy in all of them! Thank you for taking care Remi, It was less stressful being away knowing she was in good hands!”
“Jimmye Sue and Tom made my first experience with Rover an easy one! The communication and love they both put towards Melo was amazing and I was gifted a beautiful painting of my dog which I love. Best Rovers in the area, thank y’all again ?”
“Sherron was so sweet with our dog and very kind and accommodating. I can tell Skipper was well taken care of and happy in Sherron’s care. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Brittny is an amazing sitter! She’s super interactive, sends plenty of photos, and keeps me updated throughout my pup’s stay, so I always know how he’s doing. This is my third time booking with her, and my pit bull absolutely adores her. He always has a great time and I know he’s in excellent hands. Brittny is especially wonderful with bully breeds!”
“Het and Mukshutaben were wonderful with Sneakers. They communicated throughout his weekend stay and accepted to look after him on a short notice. Sneakers felt at ease and with comfort. I'll have to keep in them in mind for future stays. Thank you for treating Sneakers like your own.”
“Radha and Bart are absolutely the BEST. Rooney was so happy staying there and playing with their super chill big boy Snowy for the entire week. They provided us so many updates with photos and videos. We didn’t have to worry about him at all. Radha and Bart treated him like their own pup. They took him on walks multiple times during the day and gave him the sniffing time which our beagle loves. If you want your fur baby to be loved and get that feeling of home away home, go with Radha and Bart :)”
“Megan and her family did an amazing job watching our sweet pup! She was always quick to respond to messages and gave daily updates along with pictures. Our dog was so happy staying with them and he got all the love and attention he could want. I would strongly recommend her to anyone in the area.”

“We are very grateful to Ayden for his great help and professionalism! He took care of our kitten while we traveled for the holidays. He was always thoughtful, responsive and responsible!

She was kind, communicative and very thorough. Probably the best cat sitter I’ve used from this app! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services.”
“We’ve used Joanna several times and always feel so at ease when she feeds our cats! She sends us pictures and daily updates. Knowing Joanna is taking care of our boys helps us to be able to enjoy our time away. Thank you so much Joanna!”
“We highly recommend our pet sitter, Victoria! She took excellent care of our cats, Coco and Nala, over the past four days. She made sure they were fed, kept their litter box clean, gave them treats, and, most importantly, showered them with plenty of love and attention. She truly went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. Her communication was outstanding, and she regularly sent us pictures and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would gladly book her again!”
“Darla was awesome. She arrived timely to keep my cats feedings on schedule. She attempted to play with my cats, which they would have no part of. I am definitely using her again.”

I work full time and like to do this on the side since I dog sit sometimes for friends, family. My son LOVES cats and dogs and enjoys playing with them. His day is made anytime he sees a new pup when he comes home from school. I have a fenced yard and live in a neighborhood where we all look out for each other and our pets. Very friendly and small neighborhood.

About: Hello! I’m Magen, and I’m a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong passion for animal care. I spent over 10 years as a veterinary technician, and my family owns two boarding kennels in Texas (Lone Star Boarding Kennels and Steep Hollow Pet Lodge), where I’ve helped run daily operations. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s part of who I am. With professional vet-tech training, I’m experienced in: • Administering oral and injectable medications • Monitoring for subtle signs of illness (especially in cats) • Handling cats with all types of personalities—from timid to bold to wonderfully dramatic • Reading body language and recognizing stress signals My goal is always to keep your pets happy, calm, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I know how stressful it can be for cats to leave their kingdom and visit “The Carrier of Doom Destination,” so keeping them comfortable at home is something I genuinely love providing. A bit of my story: my first cat, Tommy, came into my life when I was only two years old, and he sparked my lifelong dedication to animal care. Working as a vet tech deepened that passion, and now I bring that experience to every home I sit for. I treat each cat as an individual with their own quirks, boundaries, and royal expectations. In addition to pet care, I’m responsible, tidy, and respectful of your home. I’ll keep you updated throughout the sit with pictures and messages so you always know your kitties are content. I’d be honored to care for your home and your beloved cats. (Disclaimer: I am not a veterinarian; please confirm medical advice with your pet’s vet.)

Perfect for high energy dogs - Theon
“Noodles had so much fun playing at Josh’s house! Communication was great and I always felt super comfortable. Loved getting the report card of how she did with lots more pics!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs for friends and family, including walks, feeding, and playtime. As a mom, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing, I treat every dog like part of my own family. I keep you updated, follow instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets the best care every time. As a full-time student and stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting outside. I’d love to spend that time walking and caring for dogs and cats I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away.
About: We have raised 3 different dogs together. Two of those furr babies required medical care and special diets, so we are always very attentive and careful with all pets needs! We recently lost our precious boy River, due to his liver disease and we miss his presence tremendously. So having other pets over truly helps keep us going and having a boost of morale. With that being said, we will give your pet 100% of our attention at all times. You can trust your pet will be supervised and cared for all day. At least one of us is always home to supervise when we are dog sitting so your pet is never alone. We have a small dog park at our complex for some outdoor fun time, and can provide daily walks as well to ensure they get more exercise! We have made our home safe for your dog keeping certain things out of reach. I can update you regularly with picture updates as well!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for quite a while! It started with trick training which turned into completely 6 months at a dog training school and earning a certificate in canine training and behavioral specialist. I am confident in handling and caring for the most difficult pups! From nervous and anxious dogs to high energy working dogs, I am willing to create a safe and effective boarding/care experience for them. My whole life revolves around my dogs so your pups will be loved and cared for during their stay. I have a schedule that allows me to fit any pet care needs. My dogs get tons of outside times, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day so whatever plan your pup needs we can accommodate! I am flexible on creating a system that works best for you pets. I can house dogs that are not good in crates and well as dogs that need to be crated. I have pet cameras throughout the home so I can keep watch at all times! We can come up with a system that works best for you pets! Whether that be multiple walks per day or a special feeding plan!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t live without them. My specialty is caring for senior (7+yrs old) dogs but I love all ages. I’m currently retired and very flexible with scheduling. I have volunteered regularly at a senior dog sanctuary for 4 years to onboard and train new volunteers. I have a fenced yard and only one small dog friendly Yorkie in residence. I used to work for a Christian ministry so very trustworthy.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience with medications and other special needs your pet may have. I love loving on dogs and love to enrich their time with bubbles or other activities like sniff and seek. The dogs will hang out with me, go on walks twice daily walks, play bubbles or play fetch, or swim if your dog is interested! We also love naps in our house and overall have a great time. I have a dog park and walking trail at my apartment. I have a dog wash and would be happy to bathe your dog before their return. I have a 4 year old golden retriever who is well-socialized and loves to make new friends. I also make homemade dog treats :)
“They were very flexible to watch our dog on a Sunday and flexible with tie time. They made our dog feel comfortable with them and followed instructions on feeding and potty breaks. We would use them again when in town.”
About: I've been a dog mom to multiple pups over the years. Plenty of time spoiling them and taking them out on adventures. Sadie and I love hiking and kayaking, or just strolling through the neighborhood. I currently work from home and make my own schedule, so I can easily adjust it to your needs. This leaves plenty of room to hang with my sweet dog and hopefully yours as well. I have a fenced yard and a sweet shorkie that would love play time with your sweet dog. I can keep them separated or allow them to play depending on your comfort level.
About: I’ve loved and cared for pets my entire life! Growing up, we always had multiple dogs in our home. We had a big family with our fur babies! Your fur babe will be in amazing hands with me 🫶 I’m currently at home full time and ready to watch your babies anytime you need. I’m flexible and adjustable to your needs! Im the person who will stop and ask to pet your dog. 😄 I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space for the fur babes to run around. I have a boxer who loves to play with other dogs and will keep your fur baby burning lots of energy.
About: We’re moving mid-June into our new home (officially homeowners, yay!), so because I don’t know when we’ll be settled, my availability is a little up in the air. We will be moving to East Georgetown (by Jonah), about a 15-minute drive from Taylor and a 10-minute drive from Hutto. We hope to still care for your pups after our transition into the new home. Lifelong dog owner with a decade of dog sitting and fostering experience, providing loving, reliable care while treating every pup like family in a safe, comfortable home. While you’re away, my dogs and I will make your pup feel comfortable with lots of love and play! I started out watching family members’ dogs as a teenager, then gradually began caring for my husband’s coworkers’ pups and others as word spread. Along the way, I realized how much I genuinely enjoy seeing new dogs interact with mine and how happy they are having friends around. It’s something I look forward to, and I am so excited to do it more often. My own pet’s care is part of my everyday life. I’m home all day with my own dogs, so your pup will always have company, attention, and lots of love. Caring for them is my full time job, which means I have all the time in the world to focus on making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home while you’re away. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play along with a doggy door for easy access, plus two friendly dogs who love having new companions around. I keep a close eye on all pups during playtime to make sure everyone is comfortable and getting along. I stick to your dog’s usual routine for feeding, potty breaks, and rest, and I’m happy to crate them if that’s part of their normal schedule. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and right at home the entire time they’re with me.
About: Hello fellow doggie owner! I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pet. I have been around doggies since I was three and my first one was a gorgeous doberman that was my play mate at that early age. I communicate with them using my empathy, learned doggie training lessons and leadership skills (even power breeds). We currently own a thirteen-year old Korean Jindo female called Luna. She was dumped on a park when she was a puppy and we rescued her literally from the street. She is a healthy happy senior doggie and loves to have other pups over for fun time! Our house sits on half-an acre of green lush areas with over a dozen trees that our doggie friends just love. Thank you for considering my services and I can't wait to welcome your doggie at my home! 🙏🏽💖 - Nelly C. I work part-time at home with a very flexible schedule, that allows me to take walks with Luna and enjoy our neighborhood. My daughter Maxine is also a doggie fan too! Our house sits on half-an acre of green lush areas with over a dozen trees that our doggie friends just love. Our neighborhood is super doggie friendly as most of the homes in our area have pets (even horses). Serenada is a really cute well-kept neighborhood north of downtown Georgetown and it is very well known for the homes lots being very spacious and filled with trees. Gorgeous lawns too for doggie's bathroom necessities! 💖 I am a business owner that has a flexible schedule which allows me to play with and take care of our furry guests. On the weekends, my family and I enjoy outdoors and to relax. I have a fenced half an acre back yard. Our neighbors have doggies too so they do not complain if we have doggies playing in our back yard. We also have a doggie plastic pool for summer splashes.
“Amanda was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of Bentley and sent some awesome photos of Bentley!! He looked so happy and came home exhausted so I know he had an awesome time! Thank you so much for watching our pup while we were out! I recommend her and will definitely book again next time we are in the area!!”
“Veronica was a wonderful sitter! She was super flexible with pick up and drop off. She was very warm and welcoming to my dog. House has a large yard to run and play, and her resident dog Stella is the perfect temperament. She kept me updated throughout the day with cute and fun things he did as well as pictures. Brady seemed to really enjoy his time and was one happy exhausted pup by the end of the day! I definitely plan to book again when I need to!”
About: As a kid I was taught responsibility by caring for our horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve had pets all my life! My mom’s cat almost died of a bacterial infection in her mouth and I’ve helped administer antibiotics to her until she got better. I had a cat who had kidney disease and needed to have IV fluids every week. My other cat had to be mouth fed with a syringe as well as monitored via thermometer up his butt. I have house and pet sit for friends and family that have multiple pets, most recently for a friend that had 6 dogs of all sizes! I am an active individual so walking will be a treat for them and me! :) I have given dogs and cats baths and also cared for dogs in heat. I have a very open and wide range of availability and I am available most days, including weekends and holidays as I rarely ever go out of town. It would be great to develop some long term relationships with new pets and their owners! Repeats are always great but not expected. I will do what I can to work with your schedule and the needs of you and your fur child. I will do my best to maintain consistency and high-level care when it comes to your pet. Each pet is different and I try to get to know each one individually in order to gain their trust and yours and provide the best care possible. Often times, I will send pictures to the pet owner, especially if it is a new client or a pet owner is out of town for an extended amount of time. I am easily reachable and try to communicate clearly about wants, needs, and scheduling. I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to providing a service, but it is not mandatory, especially for last minute bookings! We have a small yard in front and neighbors that will walk their dogs but they are all on leashes and well behaved. We live in a newer and safe community and I often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small park down the street which is nice too. We also have a fenced in backyard which can be seen from the inside of the house or the porch. We live in a one story house, but there are steps from the porch to the yard outback. My husband lives with me and has also grown up with cats and dogs. We currently have one male cat Santiago who gets along great with our male Chihuahua Juan Pablo and also got along great with my former senior Maine coon cat. He is a bit weary of strangers at first, but he will just hide until he gets to know you a bit and then you won’t be able to get him off of your lap. We have a gate in between the kitchen and the rest of the house so that the Chihuahua can have free rain to walk around and not have to be in his cage when we are not home. In the event that we have another animal in the house we can keep the Chihuahua in his cage. We also have two bedrooms and two baths that can be used to separate animals.The Chihuahua is very friendly and gets along great with the cat. He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.
“Susan S. is amazing! The backyard is big and spacious, my pup was happy to go to doggy day care at Susan’s. He typically tries to leave with me when using commercial boarding. Susan is professional, communicative and was able to accommodate a couple late mornings. Highly recommend! Loved the daily photos.”

“Josh just started walking my 9 year old pup. He took the time to do a meet and greet and get my old gal use to him. She was already so excited to see him today when for her first walk with him. He takes lots of pics and provides great information. He kind and gentle with animals and is so sweet! Thank you Josh!”

About: State pet adoption CEO hired me! Many years of experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, sugar gliders, and other pets. Reliable. Integrity matters! Fostering experience. #pickme Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply providing comfort and care, I make pets a priority and enjoy incorporating their needs into my everyday activities. The only time I’m not available os Sunday mornings (church-my husband’s a minister).

I provide lots of attention and companionship and do my best to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.
About: Since I was a young girl, I have always been fascinated by animals—particularly dogs. I begged my parents to get me my first pet—Jasper, a rescued Labrador retriever—at age 7. Taking care of Jasper was my main focus as well the odd assortment of fish and hamsters we had. When Jasper passed, and I graduated high school, my next door neighbor had a litter of golden retriever puppies. I was ready to have another animal, and that’s when Kensie came into my life. Kensie was my soul dog, and she passed away two years ago. We did everything together—going to dog parks around town, Zilker park, and even red bud (before the algae), and going to dog-friendly establishments in Austin. She was my best friend. Unfortunately, her last few months on earth were extremely challenging. I was up with her three to four times a night (sometimes more), administering multiple medications, and helping her stand/walk. When the time came to say goodbye, I could barely make the decision to let her go. I miss her so much, but because of my current living situation, don’t have the opportunity to get another dog. That’s where Rover comes in. I love animals, and am extremely responsible when it comes to taking care of someone’s pet. This will give me my ‘fix’ and also be a productive side hustle for me. It will be an honor to walk//watch your pet. I will give the very care and concern I gave my own pets. Not only have I had my own pets, but I have experience with a variety of breeds—including catahoulas and boxers. As mentioned above, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and administering medication. I’m currently in a transition phase in my life, and am looking for something productive and rewarding. I have pretty much limitless availability to cater to whatever your dog may need. At the moment, I can’t accept any dogs into my home, but if given the opportunity to stay at a client’s house, I would follow all instructions given while simultaneously respecting the space and showering your dog with love and attention.

About: Howdy! I’m Magen — a stay-at-home mom, lifelong animal lover, and former veterinary technician with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of every size, breed, and temperament. My family also owns and operates two boarding kennels in Texas, so I’ve spent years helping manage daily operations, from caring for energetic puppies to comforting anxious seniors. Whether your dog is a zoomie machine, a couch potato, a nervous rescue, or a confident social butterfly, I know how to meet them right where they are. I’m experienced in: ✔️ Administering oral & injectable medications ✔️ Senior dog care & mobility support ✔️ Puppies, potty training routines, and basic handling ✔️ Recognizing stress signals, discomfort, and early signs of illness ✔️ Working with shy, reactive, or high-energy dogs ✔️ Maintaining consistent routines to keep pups feeling safe One of my biggest strengths is reading canine body language. Dogs communicate constantly with their posture, ears, eyes, and movement, and understanding those signals lets me keep everyone safe, calm, and happy. It also helps me build trust with nervous pups and keep confident dogs engaged and well-exercised. A little about my background: My love for animals started early with my childhood pets, and it eventually led me into a career as a veterinary technician — a job I absolutely adored. Between vet clinics and my family’s boarding kennels, I’ve spent thousands of hours caring for dogs in every situation you can imagine. I bring that experience, patience, and compassion to every dog I look after. Whether your pup needs structured play, a calm presence, long walks, medication, or just someone to spoil them while you’re away, I’m here to help your dog feel safe, loved, and understood. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member. (Disclaimer: I am not a veterinarian; please confirm medical advice with your pet’s vet.) Since I am a stay at home Mom, Ill have plenty of time to care for your pets during the day while you are at work or away on vacation. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your routine to maintain comfort and consistency. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and understanding each animal’s unique needs. I watch body language closely, keep environments clean and secure, and provide gentle structure, enrichment, and affection so your pet feels relaxed and cared for while you’re away. With my veterinary technician background, I’m trained to notice early signs of stress or illness, and I treat every pet like family.
About: As a kid I was taught responsibility by caring for our horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve had pets all my life! My mom’s cat almost died of a bacterial infection in her mouth and I’ve helped administer antibiotics to her until she got better. I had a cat who had kidney disease and needed to have IV fluids every week. My other cat had to be mouth fed with a syringe as well as monitored via thermometer up his butt. I have house and pet sit for friends and family that have multiple pets, most recently for a friend that had 6 dogs of all sizes! I am an active individual so walking will be a treat for them and me! :) I have given dogs and cats baths and also cared for dogs in heat. I have a very open and wide range of availability and I am available most days, including weekends and holidays as I rarely ever go out of town. It would be great to develop some long term relationships with new pets and their owners! Repeats are always great but not expected. I will do what I can to work with your schedule and the needs of you and your fur child. I will do my best to maintain consistency and high-level care when it comes to your pet. Each pet is different and I try to get to know each one individually in order to gain their trust and yours and provide the best care possible. Often times, I will send pictures to the pet owner, especially if it is a new client or a pet owner is out of town for an extended amount of time. I am easily reachable and try to communicate clearly about wants, needs, and scheduling. I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to providing a service, but it is not mandatory, especially for last minute bookings! We have a small yard in front and neighbors that will walk their dogs but they are all on leashes and well behaved. We live in a newer and safe community and I often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small park down the street which is nice too. We also have a fenced in backyard which can be seen from the inside of the house or the porch. We live in a one story house, but there are steps from the porch to the yard outback. My husband lives with me and has also grown up with cats and dogs. We currently have one male cat Santiago who gets along great with our male Chihuahua Juan Pablo and also got along great with my former senior Maine coon cat. He is a bit weary of strangers at first, but he will just hide until he gets to know you a bit and then you won’t be able to get him off of your lap. We have a gate in between the kitchen and the rest of the house so that the Chihuahua can have free rain to walk around and not have to be in his cage when we are not home. In the event that we have another animal in the house we can keep the Chihuahua in his cage. We also have two bedrooms and two baths that can be used to separate animals.The Chihuahua is very friendly and gets along great with the cat. He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.
About: All God's Creatures Great and Small....gotta love them all . I have experience caring for sheep , chickens and exotics. 10 years experience working with Research Pet and Bird Hospital skills include... some surgeries, post operative care, feeding, walking, front desk, administration of meds, vaccines , 10 years experience working with Animal Rescue in Austin , skills include intensive care of sick and wounded animals, intensive research in best feeding and handling procedures including mandatory classes , bottlefeeding wild baby animals, and release, and 20 plus years experience loving and spoiling my own pets. I've raised squirrels from newborn to adult, several wild and exotic birds ,cared for dogs and cats, hamsters. Love ferrets!! I'm also a retired school teacher 17 years. I am a positive reward oriented caretaker. Loving and caring for animals has been my life's joy. I always consider the needs of the specific pet and the wishes of the owner. I love to spend time cuddling, feeding, playing , walking , grooming , and pampering my own pet and will do the same for yours. I am currently self employed so I have plenty of time to care for your pets needs. I offer drop in and walking services and I am very flexible. I will also house sit and I prefer 3- 4 day stays. When I’m house sitting I try to stay as close to the owners schedule as possible. I like to have an info sheet on when and what your pup eats, what time they go out for a walk or to play, whether they sleep on your bed or in a special bed for them, favorite toys or games they play with you. I try to fill their day with activities….munching Nyla bones, playing in a baby pool, PB Kong treats, playing ball outside, going on walks, watching Beverly Hills Chihuahua, rubdowns and grooming.The same activities apply to drop in visits . When I’m walking them , they have a leash or harness on , I’m weary of other dogs or animals in the neighborhood, I reinforce your special commands while walking, bring a water bottle for them, and bring treats . I am always watchful for any situation that would possibly be harmful.

“Heather has been such a great sitter for my dog. She is patient and understanding, especially since my dog has separation anxiety. She is super responsive, professional and friendly. I'm so glad I've found such a reliable person & family to watch Ridley while traveling.”
“Kelly V. is amazing. I knew my little girl would be safe with her the moment I stepped into her home. My dog suffers with separation anxiety and this was the first night she's been away from me in ten years. I had no idea how she would react. Kelly was calm and unfazed, and that helped my dog to feel relaxed. Kelly sent me lots of updates and photos. I'm so grateful to her and happy to have found a wonderful pet sitter!”
