“Jennifer was wonderful to work with. She came to meet us and Yumi before our trip. She was prompt and responsive as well. Would definitely recommend her and hope to have her sit for Yumi again on our next trips!”


About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I helped raise and care for all kinds of animals including rabbits, cats, and dogs, learning hands-on responsibility and compassion from a young age. I bring decades of experience and have a special love for senior pets. Since 2011, I’ve rescued and cared for older dogs, giving them comfort, attention, and love in their final years. Two of my own cats lived to be 20, so I understand the dedication needed for long-term care. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet, I treat every animal like family. Friends and neighbors have trusted me for years to nurture, love, and care for their pets and I’d be honored to do the same for yours. I work part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate to your pet. This allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship tailored to each animal’s needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide attentive supervision, and maintain a calm, comfortable environment. With decades of experience — from ranch animals to senior dogs, cats, and small pets — I provide patient, loving, and reliable care that pet parents can trust.
About: I was raised learning how to train dogs in obedience. My dad showed Rottweilers, min pinchers, mastiff, bulldog, and Great Danes. I enjoy working with and being around dogs I work full time close to home. I let my dog out for a lunch walk and if needed I have a break that I can head home to let her out again. I have a very friendly dog (cavalier) who is welcoming and part of the family. She will show your pup around the house and be part of our family.
About: I am a calm assertive animal friend, that has over 20 years experience training, handling and caring for high energy and larger breeds. If you need someone you can rely on to safely handle your furry friend, look no further. My availability is open during the summer by appointment. Regular summer walks fill up quickly, due to hot afternoons, so I keep night time open as well on weekdays and weekends. If you have vacation plans let’s work together to get your pet taken care of so you can enjoy your time away I am available for drop in visits and, If you have a need for extended stays we can work together to create the perfect plan for your pet.
“Perla is amazing. She didn't miss a beat when I gave her the wrong house key. My cats warmed up to her right away. Her demeanor was so calm and lovely. I will certainly be contacting her in the future.”


About: Lifelong dog lover—experienced with pups from 10 to 250 lbs. Devoted, attentive, and reliable, I provide loving, top-tier care so your fur baby feels safe while you’re away. I work part-time remotely, giving me flexible availability to provide attentive, reliable care and plenty of quality time with your pet throughout the day. Thanks. In your home, I follow your care routine exactly—providing attentive, reliable care with plenty of love, playtime, and exercise to keep your pet happy and comfortable.
“Kelsey dropped in and cared for our cat while we were on a cruise. We were able to set up a meet and greet beforehand which gave us peace of mind. Kelsey sent a lot of pictures of our cat which we appreciated. Kelsey was very attentive to our cats needs, highly recommend!”

About: "I bring a professional, detail-oriented approach to pet care, backed by a commitment to reliability and safety. I don't just 'watch' your pet—I curate their day. Whether it's a high-energy park adventure or a consistent, disciplined walking routine, I prioritize your pet's specific temperament and needs. I treat every booking as a professional contract: you can count on punctuality, clear communication, and photo updates that give you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I approach every interaction with the professionalism you expect from a dedicated care expert." Growing up in Texas we had a family Ranch with all of the fun farm animals. I have been around several breeds of cats since I was 10. I also had a beautiful midnight main coon named Bling up until moving to Austin. I also had a Schnauzer terrier I found at the pound also when I was 10. Mitzi was from the Humane Society. I was volunteering and she never left my side all day I had to take her! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed, and play with their pets for years. What sets me apart is my patience and ability to bond with even the shyest felines. I understand cat body language and prioritize a stress-free environment. Whether it's high-energy play with a kitten or gentle companionship for a senior cat, I am observant, detail-oriented, and dedicated to making sure your furr baby feels safe and loved while you are away." I prioritize a secure and attentive environment for every dog I care for. While I don't have a yard at my home, I am an extremely active person and live near several wonderful local dog parks and scenic trails. I love taking my visitors on frequent outdoor adventures and long walks to ensure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. My home is a clean, organized, and stress-free space where your pet will be treated like family and given my full, undivided attention.
“Arianna again took great care of Baldwin while we were away. We loved the pictures and reports she sent. We knew she spent good time with him and all his needs were met. We will book her again in the future”

“Diana was awesome and took care of my cat Moka. Unfortunately Moka made a mess near her cat litter, but Diana cleaned it up and checked to make sure she was ok. She is also is very thorough and kept me up to date each time she came to see my cat.”


“Jessica did drop in visits with our sweet cat, Ralph for a week while we were out of town. Ralph is very much of a dog like kind of cat that gets lonely and needy for love and cuddles so it's always so hard leaving him. We could not ask for a better person to spend time with our little buddy! Jessica is such a sweet and kind person, I knew right away I had found a perfect match for us. This is going to sounds crazy, but our cat can pick up on "high strung" or "anxious" types of personalities so he isn't always as comfortable with those kinds of people.. we know from certain family members interacting with him lol! But Jessica is honestly such a sweet soul and mellow personality that I knew Ralph would instantly connect and feel comfortable with her & he totally did!! We will absolutely be asking Jessica to sit with him from now on whenever we need someone! She sent several pictures and gave updates, couldn't ask for anything better. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Ralph had someone loving on him while we were gone. We could not thank you enough, Jessica!”

About: Hi, my name is Brooke, I am a special education teacher who has had animals through out my life. I now live in a smaller apartment and I can’t have my own pets but I’d love to spend some of my free time over summer taking care of your pets. I grew up walking big dogs and walking neighbors dogs who are on the smaller size. I am reliable and trustworthy. I have pet sitted for friends and families, and over my years as a pet owner had to give medication to my own animals including shots, eye drops and oral medicine. I am a special education teacher in summer break and my schedule is pretty flexible. I am open during day and night hours and hoping to spend my extra time with some furry friends. I am respectful of others spaces and will do my best to make your pet comfortable while I am in their care. I want to make the time feel at ease and peaceful for pet owners and pets themselves.

Time and time again, Lilly has proven to be the absolute PERFECT person for taking care of my cat while I'm out of town. My cat adores and trusts Lilly. I adore and trust Lilly. Lilly's communication is spot-on, Lilly has stellar attention to detail, and Lilly went above and beyond by cleaning up cat boxes and cleaning up after my cat if he got into something or broke something. Lilly spent 16-days keeping me more at ease about travelling than I could ever imagine. If you don't select Lilly as your cat-sitter, you're doing yourself a disservice. !!!!Thank you!!!!

We couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much, Jennifer! This is the first time we have used this service and Jennifer was perfect. The animals loved her right away. She sent us photos every visit. We felt so secure that our pets were taken care of while we were away. We will definitely book Jennifer again if she’ll have us. We can’t thank you enough!!

Kelsey dropped in and cared for our cat while we were on a cruise. We were able to set up a meet and greet beforehand which gave us peace of mind. Kelsey sent a lot of pictures of our cat which we appreciated. Kelsey was very attentive to our cats needs, highly recommend!

Georgia really saved me at the last minute when I had to leave town for most of the day. I was able to book her late the night before, and she was happy to accommodate and drop in twice to check on my little guy. This was my first time booking a sitter for Otis, and I was nervous since he’s very selective about who he interacts with. He immediately took a liking to her and looked so comfortable, which put my mind at ease. She sent multiple pictures and kept me updated each time she visited. I’d absolutely recommend her and will definitely book her again!
