Let’s make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away! Based in South Austin, I offer part-time availability in the mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I’m dependable, communicative, and always happy to send photos and updates to keep you in the loop while you’re away. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs around the house , but with my 2 year old shih tzu is the one who is going to be around the house the most .

“Rockstar cat sitter - 3 kitties for a whole month! ————— Best. Kitty. Sitter. We. Have. Ever. Had. When we went on a massive month-long road trip, Danielle was our amazing lifeline to our (three!) much-loved kitties. She sent pictures every day, played laser dot, gave treats, and even came up with the idea to play YouTube videos during the day so our boys wouldn’t be lonely! No surprise that some of those kitty pics turned into selfies, as our little guys fell in love with her. Danielle communicated with us every step of the way, was very gracious about her rates, giving us a “bundle” deal for our 3 kitties. She is upbeat, dependable, and a true cat lover. We have since gotten the chance to meet her own cats, and we’re so tickled to find that she spoils hers as much as we spoil ours! Your kitties will love her, and you will, too!”


About: You know that person at the party who prefers to hang out with the dog in the corner? Well, she makes the perfect dog sitter. I have had the priviledge to take care of many breeds and sizes over the years - while I'm particularly fond of the large and extra large gentle giants, it brings me joy to take care of any loving dog. I personally have two dogs with their own sets of challenges: one is a 95-pound old lady with hip issues, who I often have to help into the car or onto the couch; the other is a very reactive dog who I have to be extra careful with on walks. I can't wait to get to take care of your dog(s) - I know the toll it takes to trust a stranger with your furry loved one and I will care for them as fiercly as I care for my own. I am lucky to have a flexible enough full-time job that I can take care of dogs when I don't have any meetings. With enough notice, I can easily schedule around your needs. I believe that a dog tells us their boundaries. If you feel your dog needs to be left in their crate or does better hanging out on the couch when they are alone, I will make sure to follow your strict instructions.

“Madison went way above and beyond when caring for our doggo. We can’t wait to book her again in the future because we know she’ll take such good care of him and send us updates that put us at ease. Thank you!”

West Gate pet parents share their Rover experiences
Julia was absolutely incredible, she truly went above and beyond to take care of my little ones while I was away. Her communication is perfect, she sent tons of pictures and updated me if my cats got sick or if anything went wrong during the stay, which I really appreciated.

Taylor did a fantastic job checking in on my cats while I was out of town. She was prompt, sent great updates, and was so respectful of my house. After a recent move, I was very nervous about finding a new sitter and am very grateful that we found Taylor.

Rebecca was amazing and my cat was so comfortable around her. She always provided many pictures and updates during each one of her drop ins. I felt more than comfortable leaving my cat in her care and will definitely boom Rebecca again!

Anna is amazing! She took such good care of Leonardo while I was away, sent me tons of cute updates and I could tell he was in great hands. Came home to a happy kitty!!

Ariana was here everyday when she said she would be, she sent photos and I always felt confidant that she was taking the best care of my fur baby!

Perri always takes such good care of my kitty but this time we have 2. One’s just a baby with specific care instructions and Perri was so accommodating and flexible. I knew I could trust her during my weekend away. She’s amazing!

Ashlyn was dependable, reliable, and truly was a huge help during my time away from home, looking after my cat. She took a huge weight off my shoulders to know that my kitty has reliably been taken care of while I've been away. Also my cat liked her!

Terra was amazing with our cat! She followed all the instructions perfectly, shared great updates after each visit, and clearly gave him lots of love and attention. He seemed super comfortable and happy the whole time, and we really appreciated the photos, thoughtful notes, and playtime. We’d absolutely book with her again!

Best cat sitter ever. Took amazing care of my cat like he was her own. Really attentive and caring highly recommend if anyone in the area is looking for a sitter.

I trust my kitties are in good hands with Emily! She does a great job communicating with me and has been so graciously flexible when needed. She is my go-to whenever I need a sitter and I highly recommend her.

Amazing! Been on this app for years, but Madeline shines brighter than most! A thousand thank yous for watching my fur baby!

LaShanda is amazing and takes great care of the pups. Appreciate her great communication and detail on her visits!

Merlyn did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. She sent me cute photos and detailed sweet reports to keep me updated. Also, she watered my plants too. I knew my cat was being well cared for. Thanks so much, Merlyn.😊
