House Sitting West Lake Hills

“We are so grateful for Rasika! She was WONDERFUL with Marley, spending so much quality time and really making her her priority, which gave us all the comfort and peace while we were away. She was also so willing to do what she could to accommodate us when we had an unexpected family event that resulted in us needing her a few days sooner. Couldn’t ask for more! ♥️”

Nicole M.

“Kind to our boy & attentive to his needs. She was even so sweet as to leave the TV on for him while he waited for us to come home. Thank you! 🙏”

“As always, Amanda was wonderful with our dogs. She dealt with very hot days and walked our dogs accordingly, accommodated very finicky eating habits, and even cleaned up after a late-night throw up situation. She was communicative, came for a meet-and-greet before the booking (even though she's met them before, which was greatly appreciated), and sent lovely photos. Will definitely book again!”

“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!”

“Woody was a phenomenal dog/house sitter. Four paws up and two tail wags in a circle! 10/10 recommended. They took great care of our bougie senior babies.”

“Marsha is a regular sitter and is just great. She really connects with dogs and obviously enjoys their company. She takes long greenbelt walks with Tani-dog, tires her out playing fetch, and somehow has figured out how to trick her into giving her the ball, which is virtually impossible. She also keeps the house spotless. Thanks again, Marsha.”

“Adam was great at taking care of all our dogs and made sure they were looked after and taken care of! Very communicative and a reassurance for us as we were out.”

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was a young child. Always having dogs and cats of my own to care for, my friends and family have always relied on me to sit their fur babies when they are away. Recently I pet sat for a litter of puppies and a momma doggie. I had to make specialty food gruel for the puppies and monitor momma to make sure she was healthy. I helped the puppies nurse and always made sure they had fresh bedding (since they poop all over). I also had to care for another male dog in the same house and make sure he was kept away from the room that the momma and puppies were in. It was such an amazing experience and I would love to do it again. I also volunteer at the Austin Animal Shelter (Austin Pets Alive), where I work in the parvovirus unit working with extremely sick puppies. I administer oral medication, clean up their poop, do daily feedings and have experinece in IV treatments. I also volunteer in the cat unit helping sick and injured cat rehabilitate giving oral and IV medication, cleaning wounds and feedings. My belated kitty, Morrisis, was a senior cat, who in his later years, became paralyzed from the waist down. I did daily physical therapy with him, built him specialized litter boxes and a set of wheels to get around with. I also had to clean his wounds and poop off of his rear end, since he no longer had control of his bladder. I administered CBD to help with pain management. There is a special place in my heart for sick animals and I give them just as much love as every animal deserves, which is all of my love. I my free time, I foster stray cats in my neighborhood, taking them to their first vet appointments, getting shots and managing any sickness they may have. I foster them myself until I can find a suitable forever home for them. My work schedule is typically 10am-3-30pm. This allows me to drop in for visits and walks before my full time job, as well as multiple times afterwards. On my days off I am more than happy to house sit, or take care of your fur babies in your house for a couple days. I will post my schedule 2 weeks in advance. When I am in my clients home, I allow supervised playtime outside and will keep your pup entertained. In the heat of Texas summers I will minimize outside play time and play with your pup more inside so they do not get over heated, unless you request otherwise. I do multi-daily walks around the neighborhood to stretch your pups legs. I keep a close inventory on any medications the animal may have and stick to the correct time for administering medication/ wound treatment. Meal time is usually on a schedule, unless you free feed, and I will always make sure there is cold fresh water available for your fur babies (cats and dogs alike). For kitties, I will engage them in playtime and try to get out their zoomies so they do not tear up furniture, unless they are sick or injured.

“Brooke was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home for a little over two weeks while caring for our 23-year-old cat, Chloe, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Coming home to such a happy, relaxed kitty was the greatest gift. It was obvious Chloe was loved, well cared for, and never felt neglected while we were away. Brooke also took exceptional care of our home—it was absolutely immaculate when we returned. She sent thoughtful daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing everything was in great hands. Brooke is trustworthy, kind, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We would hire her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable house and pet sitter!”

“Paula was an outstanding cat sitter for our 14 year old Lola. She spent a lot of time with her, administered her medication and gave Lola her favorite treatment - a good brushing. Lola was calm and content when we returned from three nights away. I highly recommend Paula is you need an attentive and caring cat sitter.”

Terri K.

“Jordan is a wonderful pet sitter! Great communication, kept us posted with lots of photos. Took great care or our house, too. But most importantly, our dogs loved him! Definitely would book again.”

Mandy S.

“Melissa was amazing with my dog and pup! She sent regular updates and photos, and it was clear they were both happy and well cared for. I came home to relaxed, content dogs—which says it all. I especially appreciated how comfortable I felt leaving my dog with medical needs in her care while I was on vacation. Melissa was reliable, communicative, and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She went above and beyond and even took in my mail and packages. She left the house as neat and tidy as when she arrived. Would absolutely book her again! Highly recommend!”

“Mary is awesome! She's very communicative and gives our dogs the extra attention they need while we're away. She's very reliable and really came through when my travel plans home were cancelled unexpectedly and she was able to extend her stay for an extra day.”

About: I've loved animals my entire life and grew up with a Boxer, Labrador Retriever, and Bernese Mountain Dog, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I regularly help care for my boyfriend's French bulldog and have also pet sat (including cats and rats) for friends and family. I'm also detail-oriented and attentive to animal behavior, with over seven years of experience working with rodents in a research setting.

I'm available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm happy to send regular photo and video updates while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, so I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and any other preferences to help them feel comfortable!

“Jena is the best! Not only does our dog love her, she leaves the house in perfect condition, brings in all packages, and also helped by bringing in our trash cans. We highly recommend her!”

Annie H.

“Melissa was GREAT! She was so helpful, friendly, and always responsive. She sent us pictures of our pets while we were away. (Which helped because we missed them so much!) We came home to a happy household. She was so good, we have booked her for our next trip! Thanks Melissa!”

Jessica J.

“Matthew was absolutely incredible and I will definitely be using him as our go to sitter moving forward. Our two dogs loved him and we dog daily updates/videos. He gave them good walks and was great with medicine for our older dog as well. We came back to a home cleaner than we left it too! Highly recommend him.”

Logan S.

“Willow did a great job house sitting for us and watching our 2 dogs and 2 cats, they all loved her and she performed all duties we asked + gave lots of play time and walks. We will definitely book with her again!”
