Doggy Day Care West Gate

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors, and I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medication, and giving each dog the attention they need. I treat every pup like family. I’m home full-time, which means your dog will have my full attention throughout the day. From regular walks and playtime to feeding and cuddle breaks, I’ll be there to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. You can relax knowing they’re never left alone for long and are getting plenty of care and companionship. I live in a pet-free home with a fenced yard, providing a quiet and safe space for your dog to relax and play. Your dog will get my full attention, daily exercise, and lots of love while you're away.

“Marissa was very attentive to our puppy. She went out if her way to talke extra care of her, gave her medicine and always walked her and sent us picttires. She was very responsible and easy to work with”

“Denise is a great and prompt communicator and super appreciate how flexible she was. My pup has Sep anx which requires someone home at all times and it was super appreciated that she could accommodate his needs!”

“Rachel and Justin are nothing short of phenomenal! Leaving my puppy Queenie in their care was the best decision I made. They treated her like a member of their own family, going above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well-cared for. Their flexibility and warm welcome immediately eased any nerves I had about leaving her with strangers. Queenie not only loved spending time with them but also adored their fur children and their son. I couldn’t be happier with the love and attention they provided. I’ll definitely be choosing Rachel and Justin again in the future for their exceptional care and genuine love for dogs!”

About: I have experience watching dogs of all ages and sizes in NY and now Texas. I understand needs of dogs whether that be sensitive to noises, separation anxiety, etc - I’ve seen it all. Especially with my own six pound Chihuahua! Experience in administering medicine and training, I can help you and accommodate for anything you may need. I have tons of love to give and will provide an easy and calming experience for you and your family. I work from home and am able to give your pet 24/7 attention. Walks can be given every hour and the dog park at least once a day, if your dog likes dog parks. I am available every day and very flexible with scheduling. I live alone in a quiet house with a fenced backyard so there’s plenty of space for your furry friend to get comfortable. I also have a very friendly chihuahua that will be with me for any dog boarding. Your dog may sleep on the furniture or in a crate, whatever you prefer. I can administer medicine (no shots) and live within walking distance of a vet that I know personally, so this is the perfect place in case of any emergencies.

“Katherine is truly the WORLDS BEST DOGSITTER, providing exceptional care that my dogs absolutely adored. Even my chihuahua, who typically takes time to warm up to new people, felt comfortable and happy in her presence. Katherine consistently sent delightful pictures and updates, ensuring we felt connected and reassured about our pets’ well-being. Adding a unique touch, she even engaged them in fun art projects, creating memorable keepsakes from their stay. We will definitely be booking Katherine again for our dogsitting needs. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a caring and creative dogsitter! 🐾”

“Bassam was absolutely wonderful with Lady Guienvere. It’s so refreshing to find a sitter who is just as enchanted with my fur baby as I am. He was attentive, gentle, and clearly cared deeply for her comfort and happiness. I truly appreciated the care he showed my little one, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.”

“Emma was the perfect host! My dogs were well taken of through out their visit. Emma was very flexible with the timing and worked to accommodate our needs! My girls loved their walks and everything was first class! Emma is my Austin connection! Thanks, Emma! Lucy Lou and Lilly Bug Love you!💕🐶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

“I feel blessed to have found these two marvelous humans to take care of our dog, Peppa. This was her (Peppa's) first petsitting and it couldn't have gone smoother. Amanda and Jared are real pros, super kind, plus they were so sweet to keep us in the loop with pictures of Peppa having a good time and relaxing during her stay. When we picked her up, she was perfectly calm and happy. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, we'll definitely be back! Thank you SO MUCH, Amanda and Jared!!”

“Perfect for our high-energy pup! Great communication, simple drop off/pick up, and lots of play time. Our dog came home happy and tired both days 🙂”

Sydney W.

“They were fabulous!!! My dog Inez loved playing with their pup Willy and I got several pics and videos throughout the day. She seemed very tired and content when she got home! Extra special thanks to Katherine because our flight coming back was delayed several times and she was so nice being flexible with having to change pickup time. Would definitely recommended!!”

Mackenzie C.

“Greatest dog sitter ever. Our girl felt welcome by Magdalena and her dog and had a good time. Took walks, got to play and sleep. Magdelena was very flexible and understanding and even provided food when we couldn't pick our dog up at the agreed upon time. Would definitely recommend and use again in the future.”

About: I have always had animals around me since birth. Dogs and Cats mostly but some turtles and frogs over the years too:) I work from home and currently have 2 dogs (Big Lab and Little terrier) and a kitty cat. I am excited to branch out from sitting for my friends and family's fur babies to meeting other local playmates. I am very attentive to each personality and want to make sure each is comfortable and has fun. My large South Austin yard is fully fenced, and my boys love to make new friends. My cat Lucy tends to nap and avoid dog visitors- unless tuna is involved, LOL. All animals are allowed on the furniture and bed, but I do own a large crate if that is the preferred routine. Working from home allows me to available for potty breaks, company and play time. I would only be away from the house to run short errands. I am happy to discuss any pick up/drop off schedules. I have a large fenced yard in South Austin. My boys come and go as they please to the backyard for play or to potty. My little dog, Uncle Randy, is known to wander if he sniffs an opportunity, so I regularly check the privacy fence to make sure it is secure. Baloo (my big lab) will want to play with guests after a good sniff but normally gets distracted shortly after by his tennis ball. Uncle Randy (my Rat Terrier/ Chihuahua) barks at new guests but then tends to ignore them and wants more snuggles. My boys are best friends and snuggle up every night. I have never had an emergency while sitting other people's pets but I know the closest/best South Austin ER vet clinics from my 20years of living in this neighborhood.

“She takes care of my deaf and partially blind puppy--what more can I say?! He gets lots of walks with her and thrives on her one-on-one attention. I know it's a good day when he comes home tired, which is very hard to accomplish with him. :) I was worried about him being in an apartment, but they go outside so often, it really isn't an issue for him. Vivien is attentive, responsive, and extremely patient with my high energy (and sometimes high needs) puppy. Thanks Vivien!”
