“Maddie is extremely organized, responsive, and seems to really enjoy spending time with our pup. We’re so happy to have found her and will definitely be using her again!”


“Alicia took great care of my pups while I was out of town and was extremely flexible when I needed to extend care due to my trip home being delayed. Will absolutely use Alicia again in the future!”

“John is an incredible patient and thoughtful care taker. My dog can be a handful and very high energy and John has been able to attend to all of his needs. Definitely using him as often as I can!”

“We got so lucky finding Allie! I needed a last minute sitter and took to Rover to find one. Allie was so responsive and was able to set up a meet & greet that same day. Skye is usually anxious when meeting new people, but warmed up to Allie instantly - which is always a good sign for me. I was immediately put at ease and felt the trust established. Allie was on top of it and took such good care of Skye. It was so nice to receive such intentional Rover Cards with pictures of Skye every day. I would recommend Allie to anyone looking for a pet sitter in South Austin and will definitely be reaching out again!”

“Aryanna took such great care of our kitties! She leaves very detailed information about her visits, takes pictures and videos, and is punctual. 100% recommend!”

“Thanks as always, Raven! I feel so much better better going out of town knowing you’ll take care of my babies. I especially love the description of the visit and photos!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of every breed, age, temperament, and healthcare needs since I was 10! I’m very comfortable providing special care for each dog’s needs. I have plenty of available time during the day to spend with your pup! I am flexible and open to requests via message. I’m happy to do long walks and overnight stays at my house. We have a cozy fenced in yard where your beloved baby can enjoy the sun, shade, and time with our small dog, Daisy! Shes very laid back, and loves other dogs.

“Christine was an absolute delight to communicate with, and we trust her implicitly with caring for our pet dog and cat, both are senior animals who require medication and special attention. Christine was quick to respond to our inquiries, and left thorough notes for each visit. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs pet care assistance.”
“Booked last minute and they were so responsive and flexible with the scheduling. Sent great pictures and can tell our dog was in excellent hands with Jillian and Clayton. Will absolutely book again!!”

“Misha is an amazing communicator and cat whisperer! He looked after our boys for the long weekend and continuously sent updates. He made sure they had everything they needed which put us at ease. Highly recommend hiring him!”

“Amazing sitter, she did so well with our dogs. Took extremely good care of them even cleaned up the little mess they had made. Definitely would recommend and use again.”

“Elizabeth was great!! Super communicative and friendly, plus the coordination was very easy. She took such great care of my cat, provided detailed updates for each check in and sent the cutest pictures of all time! 10/10 cannot recommend her enough!!”

“Antonio had great communication from the start. He came over to see our place and meet Zoey before our vacation. I felt very comfortable with his help. He even brought in a package on our porch for us that had arrived late. We will definitely use him again as Zoey seemed like a very happy cat when we got home.”

“Taylor was Vespa’s favorite sitter - and I got plenty of great pics to show how content Vespa was during the sitting. Taylor stayed the full 30 min for each stay, if not a little longer, and Vespa seemed to get all of the exercise she needed. You can tell Taylor really loves animals - 10/10”

“Lilian did a fantastic job with our dog Thor! She was super sweet and always sent us the cutest pictures of them together when she would go let him out! I can’t recommend her enough!”

“I definitely recommend Dale for peace of mind when leaving your furry friends. He took excellent care of my senior fur baby and even got my nervous cat to warm up. He sent great photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond tidying their litter and eating areas. I would absolutely have Dale back to care for my guys!”

“Samantha did a fantastic job of caring for our cat Piper, while we were away for 5 days! Piper appeared to really connect with Samantha, and clearly the feeling was mutual. The photos and messages showed us that Piper was exercised, entertained, engaged in play, and very much loved on when Samantha dropped in! Two-way messaging with Samantha was easy and gave us incredible peace of mind. We'd hire her again!”

“Mia was an excellent sitter for my fur baby. Sent pics and communicated very well during the booking. I felt that my dog was in good hands and will definitely rebook with her for my next vacation.”

Laura has been amazing with my pups. She is thorough and hilarious with her communication, and sends plenty of pics while I have been away. My dogs are not the easiest to deal with, yet she handles them with grace and care. Will absolutely use her again in the future!

Antonio had great communication from the start. He came over to see our place and meet Zoey before our vacation. I felt very comfortable with his help. He even brought in a package on our porch for us that had arrived late. We will definitely use him again as Zoey seemed like a very happy cat when we got home.

Reliable, punctual, and great communication! We had a fantastic experience with this drop-in visit! Lauren arrived exactly on time, which gave us total peace of mind. We loved getting the photo updates while we were away, and she left everything perfectly clean and tidy. Our pup was so well taken care of—we will definitely be booking with Lauren again!

Robert not only took the best care of my cats but he went above and beyond to clean up their messes around the house as well. I feel like my house is cleaner than when I left it lol! I always have anxiety when leaving my cats for a long time on vacation but I was so at ease this time. He cared for my cats like I would my own and was AMAZING! Thank you!

Raven is a wonderful sitter! While watching our kitten , Zelda, Raven was very communicative, sent lots of photos, and followed care instructions perfectly. Our kitty was well cared for while we were away and clearly bonded with Raven. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend!
