Pet Sitting Windsor Road

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 and disabled 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 usually 5 hours a day. This allows me to do Drop In services and walks before my full time job, as well as multiple times afterwards. Throughout the week or weekend I am more than happy to house sit and give lots of attention and care to your fur babies morning, afternoon, evening and over night. I am also a private chef, so for my house sitting clients I offer ready to eat meals prepared for any dietary restrictions, for you to pop in the oven as is, and eat in less than 30 minutes. This is an additional service I provide to alleviate the worry and stress of feeding yourself when you get home from a long day(s) of travel. You can inquire about this service during our meet and greet. Happily Serving and feeding the community of Austin.😊 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 2-3 walks a day depending on the dogs breed, age and anynhealth concerns. I'll take them around the neighborhood to stretch their legs or on a local hiking trail/ park if they are a more active dog. 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.

“Kody is excellent! He truly cares about the pet he is watching over and always give detailed report cards so you know exactly how your pup is doing 😊”

“Lily was very tentative and sweet to Maverick! I ended up staying out of town another day and she was so flexible! Maverick certainly enjoyed her visits! So refreshing!”

About: I've never met a dog or cat I can't win over. I meet them at their pace, never pushing unwanted interaction onto them. I have volunteered and fostered for multiple shelters. I have experience administering medicine, grooming, and bathing. Currently working part-time, so I'm relatively free to look after pets. I am also a morning person, and I don't mind getting up early to check in on and walk someone's baby, especially with how hot it is right now. I will follow your guidance on your dog or cat's care in your household to a T. I want to alleviate the stress an animal may feel meeting a new person by sticking to their usual routine.

“Sierra did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. We got lots of pictures of him playing and getting treats and pets. I will definitely be booking with Sierra again!”

“Jolene was fantastic, she helped me out last minute and took great pictures/updates! Not only that but she got my antisocial/shy kitties out of their comfort zone which is unheard of!! Thank you again Jolene!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have cared for my own dogs as well as those of family members and employers, giving me experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who require a calmer, more attentive approach. I am also familiar with caring for reactive dogs and understand the importance of being highly aware of surroundings, including other dogs, people, and environmental triggers. I recognize that the walking environment matters and adapt accordingly to help keep dogs comfortable, safe, and successful on their outings. Additionally, I understand that senior dogs often require closer attention to their behavior, routines, and changing needs. I am comfortable with dog walking, overnight sitting, maintaining routines, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I would want for my own pets. As a college student with a part-time babysitting job, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care throughout the week. I am available on weekends and on weekdays when I am off work. With the holidays approaching and no travel plans, I will be staying in the city and am excited to help care for pets whenever needed. Weekday Availability • Monday: available for dog walks in the evening Weekend Availability • Saturday: Available for dog walks throughout the day and evening, as well as overnight house sitting. • Sunday: Available for evening dog walks. Extended Availability • November 21-28: Available for longer house-sitting stays and daily dog walks. • December 15-January 11: Available for longer house-sitting stays and daily dog walks. I do my best to be flexible and accommodate pets’ routines whenever possible, so feel free to reach out about specific dates or scheduling needs. Before providing pet care in a client’s home, I always ask for detailed instructions regarding the pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, preferred activities, restricted areas, and any behavioral needs. Every pet and home is unique, so I make it a priority to follow the owner’s guidelines closely to maintain consistency and reduce stress for the pet. I also ensure pets are supervised, secure, and comfortable while in my care, and I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have cared for family and friends’ dogs and cats for 5 years. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, medication, and keeping pets on their usual routines. I’m patient with nervous pups and attentive with seniors, and I'm always down to send photos and updates! I’m a student with a flexible schedule - I'm available: M/W: 9:30am–12pm and after 2pm T/TH: 11am–12pm and after 2pm Fri–Sun: available all day Great for midday walks, drop-ins, and weekend sits! I’m happy to care for pets in my home or yours! I live in an apartment without a yard, but I’m just a few blocks from Shoal Creek/Pease Park, so there’s plenty of room for long walks and sniffing around. If your pet is more comfortable at home, I’ll stick to their routine, keep doors secure, and keep them leashed on walks. I’ll always have your vet and emergency contacts handy.

“Sydney watched Miso while we went away for a 6 day vacation. She took very good care of him and gave us great updates while we were away. She gave us a lot of peace of mind while Miso was alone. She is great at trying to get him to interact (he’s a little shy) and she went above and beyond and cleaned up a mess when Miso knocked his feeder over.”

“Addison did a great job with Archer! I got plenty of updates and photos from her while I was on a work trip, and I could tell he was having a great time during her drop ins. I’ll definitely rebook with her again!”

About: I grew up with animals and have been taking care of them for friends and family for as long as I can remember. Pets hold a very special place in my heart. From walking, feeding, bathing, training, and lots of cuddling. I aim to keep your pets filled with happiness while you are away. I have bottle fed kittens, potty trained puppy’s, and taught my late 80lb dog to walk off leash when all he wanted to do was chase squirrels. Taking care of pets comes natural and I want to give them as much love as they give to us. I work from home full time and am able to be at the ready for your pets at a moments notice. I go for long morning walks and cook at home. Easy going and flexible to help with all of your pet sitting needs. I take the utmost care of other peoples homes, items, and pets. Leaving homes better than I found them and pets as happy as they can be without their parents.

“Priscilla was reliable and friendly taking care of Ranger during our work week :)”

About: I’ve grown up around and with dogs and love them all. I’ve cared for them in many ways! :) Family members, friends and neighbors have always allowed me to help with their loving animals! I am currently a college student but my schedule is very flexibile and I am open to working with anyone on anything! I will always be honest with you and treat your pets like my own :) I can provide the best care to my abilities and I am open to any circumstances that may be necessary to provide comfortable care for you and your pets.

About: Hi!! I’m currently a nursing student at The University of Texas at Austin, and I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life. I’m originally from Marshall, TX, where I grew up in the country surrounded by dogs. Being raised in that environment taught me from a young age how much patience, attention, and care dogs need. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, along with experience volunteering and shadowing at veterinary clinics. I have a genuine passion for dogs and want every pup in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether your pup is energetic and adventurous or prefers to spend the day cuddling on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at! I am currently a nursing student so my schedule is pretty strict, but I would love to help out when I can!! Currently I am accepting occasional walks on the weekend and primarily Wednesday before 11:00 AM, all day Thursday, and all day Friday (except from 12:30-3:00). I currently live in an apartment in west campus, so I do not have a yard!! I am currently not taking on overnight or extended stays, and daycare would vary depending on the situation and the pup!!

“Payton was wonderful with our fur babies! She sent daily photo updates, followed every instruction, punctual and left the place spotless. Our cats were relaxed and happy when we got home. Highly recommend!”

Kewalee B.

“Evalise was an amazing help when I needed a last minute rover! She made sure to keep clear communications and asked questions. My dog loved her, didn’t get a report about her being anxious around her. Definitely will continue to use her rover services!”

Marco H.

“Sure thing! Here's a more laid-back review: --- I've been really happy and impressed with Bri as a sitter. Shes always on time, which is a huge relief for my schedule. What's even better is how quickly my dogs took to them. If you're looking for a chill and reliable dog walker, Bri is the way to go.”

Ericka G.

“I’m so happy we chose Sydney to take care of our cat! She responded promptly to any texts I sent her, followed the care instructions, and made me feel like I was leaving my cat in good hands. I’d love to work with Sydney in the future again!”
