He really went above and beyond taking care my outdoor plants without me asking since it was going to freeze in Austin while we were gone, very much appreciated.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. My family has always had dogs, and now I have one of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s providing love and attention, sticking to routines, or handling special care needs, I bring a calm, confident presence and a genuine love for animals to everything I do. I am mostly an online student at UT so I have plenty of time to play with your furry friends!! Since most of my coursework can be completed on my own time, I’m able to plan my study sessions around pet sitting responsibilities—whether that’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening feedings. This flexibility means I can be fully present and attentive to each pet's needs without feeling rushed. Caring for animals also provides a great balance to my academic life. It's something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed, exercised, and given lots of love and attention. I also keep the space clean—tidying up food areas, litter boxes, or any messes. As an animal owner myself, communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to keep owners at ease while they’re away.

“Melondy was extremely communicative and thoughtful during her stay with Layla. She made sure she came over right on time, sent me regular updates on how Layla was doing and followed the pet care instructions to the letter. Additionally she was respectful of our space and left the house spotless! I would absolutely book again!”

About: As a UT Austin student, I’m responsible, reliable, and organized. I genuinely love animals and understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. I’m attentive to details, follow instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. As a student, I currently have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. This allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship. I’m committed to being reliable, responsive, and making sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve while you’re away !! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I always follow care instructions carefully, maintain a clean and respectful environment, and prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and sticking to their normal routine while you’re away.

“Woody took great care of our scaredy pup Bella. Bella can be challenged when new people come into her life. Woody took steps to help Bella with this and was able to gain her trust. We hope highly recommend Woody for your pet's care.”

“Mo was really great with my dog, Bandit. Bandit is a Pomeranian with a lot of “agency” and Mo was a great person to have here for a dog that can be difficult at times. I know Bandit loved Mo as when I changed the sheets on his bed, Bandit immediately jumped on the sheets as he missed Mo!”

Cynthia S.

“Our dog does not like people other than my wife really. But she took to Christine on day one and was climbing into her lap that night. It is such a relief to know someone who gets along with our dog is taking care of them. Would definitely hire again!”

About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have always had a deep love for dogs, cats, and other pets. As an Environmental Science student at the University of Texas, I've studied animal behavior and developed a better understanding of how animals communicate, learn, and interact with people. In addition, I volunteer with Austin Pets Alive!, where I've gained hands-on experience working with dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and backgrounds. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants companionship and attention, I'm committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care while you're away. I am currently taking summer classes, so my availability during weekdays is part-time. I am completely available on weekends :) MW: Available after 2:30PM TThF: Available after 11:30AM When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and maintaining their normal routine. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I carefully follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and household rules. During walks, I use secure leashing practices, stay aware of my surroundings, and ensure pets are safe around other animals and potential hazards. I strive to build trust with both pets and owners by providing dependable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention and affection while their family is away.

“Dina was wonderful with my pets. She provided lots of photos and updates throughout the visit and left our house nice and clean! Highly recommend her!”

Sarah R.

“I can't recommend Jewel highly enough. She stayed at my house to take care of my dog while I was out of town for 10 days and she really went above and beyond with everything. It's great to know I have someone I can trust when I travel and I'll be absolutely be reaching out to Jewel again for help in the future, and recommending her to family and friends!”

“Paige was an amazing dog sitter!! She took such wonderful care of Piper, and was amazing about sending pictures and updates throughout the day. I will absolutely reach out to Paige again for any future dog sitting or walking!”
