“Absolutely AMAZING. I rarely trust anyone, ever. I never leave my fur babies with anyone I do not know and I feel like I have known Elizabeth my whole life. She is just THAT amazing!! She provided us with updates and lots of pictures which we sincerely appreciate since we have never left our fur babies for the holidays! 13 out of 10 would recommend and we cannot wait to use her again very soon! I mean, come on, she is the best of the best and if this review doesn’t get you wanting Elizabeth to watch your fur babies then what’s wrong with you!? We absolutely love her and so do Brady and Apollo! ???”


“Great sitter. Very detailed and followed directions as requested. Updates were great and left me very comfortable while I was away. Would highly recommend.”



“Christine was wonderful! This was our first time booking her services, and I would highly recommend her. From our first meet and greet, it was clear she had a lot of experience caring for animals. She was easy to talk to, had good communication during our time away, and went out of her way to care for our dog, Jovi (who can be a bit of a handful and hard to walk sometimes!). She even went out of her way to take him to his favorite park/trail one of the evenings. The coolest thing was finding out she had cared for Jovi when he was a puppy before we adopted him (we’ve had him since he was 1 year old). His previous owner had also contacted Christine for dog sitting, and she was able to look back through her pictures and find young puppy photos of our Jovi! It was totally meant to be! 😆 I highly recommend Christine for all of your animal care needs!”


“Brooke is amazing and commmnicated the entire time with updates while watching my three dogs during her house stay. Highly recommend booking her for your next vacation!”


“Sidney was responsible & took excellent care of our home and pups! She sent updates and took care of all tasks- we came home to a clean home & happy dogs”


“Dakota did an excellent job at taking care of our Italian greyhound and our small bird. She stayed at our place, and during all of these time she was outstanding at communication and care of our pets. Would definitely use Dakota again.”


“Ariana was really great with our boy! We will definitely use her again in the future.”


“Words cannot describe how grateful we are to Tiffany for all the care she showed to our dogs and cats. In the almost 10 days we were gone, she built strong relationships with a very tough crew. Our incredibly anxious 7 month old puppy warmed to her very quickly and our cat who rarely shows herself to anyone was snuggling on the bed with Tiffany by the end of her stay. We received lovely updates and photos on a regular basis and Tiffany was very quick to respond if we had any questions or concerns. Most importantly, and why I've waited to write this review, Tiffany encountered an incredibly difficult situation with our elderly dog and handled it with grace and care. Within a few days of us returning home, our sweet, ol' boy experienced an unexpected medical emergency. Tiffany was calm, collected, and quick to act, doing everything we would have done in her situation. Tiffany's care prevented our sweet boy from suffering, and by reaching out to members of our family who were in the Austin-area, allowed him to be surrounded by those who loved him at the end. The love and thoughtfulness she showed to our family in the aftermath of losing our ol' boy speaks volumes for Tiffany's character and passion for furry friends. Any person would be lucky to have Tiffany care for their pets!”


“We love having Ana stay at our house and watch our cats and dogs. She is the first sitter who has been able to get our shy kitty to come out and let her pet him - she is a cat whisperer! She always treats out home with a lot of respect and we come home to find everything just as we left it. She also takes the cutest pics of our crew to share with us while we're away. We couldn't be happier!”


“Natalia stayed with our cat, GSD and fish for 4 days. She was very attentive to their needs and took fantastic care of them! We will definitely use Natalia for future trips.”


“Taylor did a great job with my 2 cats. They both love attention and were both in great spirits when I returned. Taylor made sure to give plenty of updates with lots of pictures and videos so I knew my cats were happy!”


“Misha was incredible! He communicated so well, took both my dogs on their daily separate walks, and sent a ton of pictures. My dogs normally seem anxious when I get home from being out of town but they seemed so chill & I could tell they got plenty of attention and activity while I was gone. I will definitely be requesting to book with him again next time I need a sitter or drop in visits!”


“Laura was absolutely amazing! She is the first dog sitter I have used for one of my pups and I could not have felt more confident with her at my house. She constantly sent photos/ was understanding of my dogs needs and was always available to give me an update! I could not recommend her enough and hope to use her again soon!”


“Cody is really amazing. He is very friendly and caring. He instantly bonded with my dog and took really good care of her. He went above and beyond. His communication was top notch and he provided updates throughout the day. I highly recommend him as a dog sitter”


“Jenna exceeded our expectations! We asked more of her than a regular house stay; ultimately she watched over our home, one of our pups who is elderly, and many chickens! Her communication was consistent throughout and we felt like we were getting great updates along the way. We would hire her again and recommend her!”


“Shanda was so thoughtful to us and our pup. She came in during an emergency trip we needed to take and we could not ask for more. Her updates made us feel so comfortable. We knew Eve was safe and having a great time. Highly recommend her for any care because she will spoil your fur baby like a grandparent.”


“Daniel took exceptional care of our two dogs. He was very communicative, kind, and accommodating. I felt at ease from the moment we dropped them off, and Daniel continued to make me feel so throughout their stay. I highly, highly recommend him!”


“Taylor was AMAZING! Truly went above and beyond and this is the first time I’ve ever had someone watch my puppy. Will for sure be booking with her continuously. Thank you for also helping organize my apartment it was very much appreciated :-)”


About: *available for last-minute bookings* I welcome you to read my reviews to get the best idea of the service I provide and the experience you and your pet will have with me! I offer minimal away time giving your pet company during their stay with me. I can tend to their needs and make them feel right at home, in my place. With a nice secure backyard, and a calm, quiet and cozy home interior, they will be spending their time safe and comfortable! I am a great communicator, patient and gentle in dealing with animals. I am comfortable and confident with handling custom needs (medications, exercise schedules, treats) as needed. I have always viewed this service as an enjoyable experience, not just a job. Please get in touch with any questions or to book service. Thank you so much! I am able to be home with the pets in my care as much as needed. My focus during their stay is to help them (and their pet parent!) feel safe, comfortable and cared for the entire time. In my home, whether it be a daily or overnight stay, I put focus on the visiting pets and offer complete care and attention. If I am caring for an animal in a client's home, I follow any and all instructions, and make sure that the pet is comfortable with the visit and pet parents know their pets are being well cared for!

“Magaly was great! We contacted her last minute for her to house sit and take care of our dog. She was great and took great care of him. She was quick to respond when we checked in and sent us pictures of our sweet boy. . She also left our house very clean. We would definitely recommend her!”
