“Elizabeth took such amazing care of my dog (and my house) while I was away! She asked thoughtful questions when getting to know me and my dog, Kiki, and had great communication with me throughout my trip. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to care for their pet!”


“We love Victoria! She stayed in our home to take care of Buddy and Remmy. During that time, Victoria communicated well and was very respectful of my home. Buddy and Remmy enjoyed their time with her. I would most definitely recommend and would call on her again to take care of Buddy and Remmy.”



“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!”


“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.”



“Rachel was terrific! First time in years we left our pups with a non-family member and things went wonderfully! Received pictures and updates too!”


“Sidney was great! She was super communicative and sent multiple updates with pictures a day! It was great to keep up with my pups while we were away! She also left my home super tidy! We would have her back again!”


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


“Ana was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup with someone outside of the family and I could not have asked for a better person than Ana. Our Austin Pets Alive rescue can be tough to handle at times, but Ana worked with family members and communicated with us consistently throughout the stay to ensure the best possible outcome in every situation. Five stars honestly is not enough for her care. If you are nervous about leaving your pets and home, book Ana and know without a doubt everything will be more than okay.”


“Tiffany was fantastic! Our pug, Rita, was certainly loved on while we were away. She sent pics daily with an update. Our return flight was delayed and she was flexible and stayed longer than we had originally asked making a stressful travel day a lot easier. The house was super clean as well which was a bonus! We will definitely request Tiffany again!”


“Misha was super great and even came a few days earlier to meet and greet with the dogs. Was super communicative throughout the time I was away from my girls and made my trip a lot easier! Thanks Misha!!”


“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!”


“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!”


“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!”


“She is amazing. My animals were so happy and well taken care of when I came home. She kept me updated on how they were doing during my trip. She also left my apartment exactly how I left it. Definitely would love to have her care for my animals again.”


“Very satisfied with Cody house sitting watching my two high energy pups. He was easy to communicate with and answered all my questions with patience, giving me more confidence in everything. He sent lots of pictures and I could tell my pups were having the best time ever. It made traveling so much less stressful. He’s my new go to for this service. Would highly recommend!”


“Shanda is always so amazing with our dog Wilbur. She goes above and beyond to make sure he is happy and well cared for. I really appreciate how communicative she is. She asks great questions and shares regular updates with lots of photos/videos. We really can’t speak more highly of Shanda!”


“Very proactive about arrangements, very interested in what would work best for our dog and for our house. Very responsible - we knew our precious dog was in good hands!!”


“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!”


“Ronnie stayed in our house for two weeks caring for our dog Tani, and did an excellent job. She closely bonded with Tani-dog, even through the occasional presence of her nemesis (thunder). She sent regular updated pics--something that definitely makes the time apart easier--and left the house as she found it. We recommend Ronnie wholeheartedly!”


About: Hello, I go by Sol (They/He). I love meeting fur babies and getting to know them both their likes and dislikes. I also like making up little songs for them on the spot and will sing to them if they allow it. I have been caring for my own kitty for over 8 years but have had more experience in the last years with cute dogs, cute cats, and a lizard friend. If you welcome it, I will spam you with photos of your baby while you are gone. I am currently taking online classes and have a flexible working schedule. I can work with your schedule to ensure your fur baby has optimal potty breaks, scheduled meal time and lots of love and attention. We will play games and if they like it, I might sing them a little personalized song. If they like cuddles, I love cuddles! If they prefer some distance or are shy, I'll make sure they are safe and comfortable.

“Jarymar looked after my leopard gecko and cat for a week and took excellent care of them! They were incredibly caring and responsive, even sending me cute pictures periodically to keep me updated on how my pets were doing. It can be nerve-wracking trusting someone with keys to your home and with the well-being of your babies, but I felt completely at ease with Jarymar!”
