About: Hi! I’m Kensy a reliable and caring pet sitter based in South Austin. With years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, I treat every pet like family whether they need a long walk, cozy snuggles, or just someone to keep them company while you're away.

I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry loved one. 🐾 Services I Offer: Dog Walking Drop-In Visits (feeding, playtime, potty breaks) House Sitting (limited availability) Medication Administration (if needed) I’m available mornings, afternoons, and weekends and I’m always happy to accommodate your pet’s specific needs and routines. 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 .

“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”

“Kirren was absolutely wonderful! For the first time in years, I was able to go on vacation without feeling anxious about leaving my cat behind. My cat needs a lot of attention and twice-daily medication, so finding someone trustworthy was essential. Kirren went above and beyond—providing extra care, attention, and thoughtful updates that truly put me at ease. She was incredibly communicative, and to my surprise, my cat instantly took to her—something that’s never happened with a stranger before. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“I recently had the pleasure of booking Anthony as a dog sitter for my two pups, Shiloh and Noël, through Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Anthony was absolutely fantastic—professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. He took the time to understand Shiloh and Noël’s unique personalities and needs, ensuring they were comfortable and happy while I was away. Anthony kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. The dogs were clearly having a blast on their walks, and it was obvious they were getting plenty of love and attention. When I returned, Shiloh and Noël were relaxed, well-cared-for, and their tails were wagging like crazy! I highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter. He went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking him again. Thank you, Anthony, for taking such great care of my furry babies!”

“Brandy is an absolute gem! She’s ultra sweet and has such a charming and welcoming personality that instantly puts pets (and people) at ease. She really takes the time to understand my little guy’s unique personality and knows exactly how to approach and introduce herself in a calm, respectful way. Stacks adored her! Brandy was also extremely communicative and prompt throughout the entire process, which gave me total peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend her more highly—she’s a natural with animals and just a joy to work with! I feel so lucky to have found her!”

About: Hi, I’m Ashley. I work from home and offer thoughtful, low-stress care for both dogs and cats. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away — with a routine that’s calm, structured, and tailored to their needs. Every stay starts with a gentle welcome to help your pet ease into the space — including calming music and quiet downtime. Once they’re feeling settled and secure, we turn up the fun with play, affection, and plenty of personalized attention. In addition to boarding and daycare, I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking, with the same level of care and attention to what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m home full-time during the week, which gives me the flexibility to adapt to your pet’s routine — whether they need quiet rest, structured play, or extra attention during the day. I’m also happy to help with last-minute bookings whenever I can. I live in a two story townhome in a pet friendly complex, with a few go-to enrichment tools to keep pets mentally stimulated between walks or play time.

“Jeremy is the best! My dog loves him. He’s super consistent and friendly, clearly very knowledgeable about taking care of all kinds of doggos. Glad we found him!”

About: What sets me apart is how much I truly care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. As a former college athlete, I have the energy and consistency to keep up with high-energy dogs on long walks or play sessions, but I’m also patient and gentle with shy or senior pets who need a slower pace. I’ve helped care for both puppies learning routines and older dogs who need extra attention, whether that’s giving medication, sticking to a strict schedule, or offering lots of cuddles and comfort. I pay close attention to the little details, from sticking with feeding instructions to noticing changes in behavior, so you can have peace of mind that your pet is in good hands. Right now I’m in the middle of a job search, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my days because it keeps me active and gives me something meaningful to focus on while I apply and interview. I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings during the week, as well as most weekends. I treat the space with the same respect I would my own. I follow your instructions closely so your pet’s routine stays consistent and comfortable. That includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. Safety is always a priority. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on your pet during walks, and pay attention to their behavior so I can catch any changes quickly. I know how important trust is when you’re letting someone into your home, and I take that responsibility seriously by being reliable, communicative, and respectful.

About: Animals have been a big part of my life growing up and I love making connections with them. I did some pet sitting during high school and through college. I have two animals of my own and I love them so much. I work from home full time so I can provide exercise and play time often to make sure your animals are happy and healthy with my flexible schedule. I work from home and can bring my laptop anywhere. I need to be more active during my day instead of sitting and this would provide me a way to get moving! Mutually beneficial! I have a fob access secure apartment. I am surrounded by a lot of walkable areas and parks. my own animals are on a feeding schedule so I can easily follow others. Giving animals the stimulation they need is important to me.

About: In the spirit of helping thy neighbor, I’ve been taking care of furry friends since childhood. I’m physically strong, so strong dogs don’t bother me; and responsible & responsive. I’m a former babysitter and also a photographer, so you’ll get cute photo updates and know your pet is in safe hands. Reach out to me! 🩵 I’m available Monday-Friday mostly midday-evening! Ideally looking for a recurring walking role that will get me outdoors and keep me active during the workweek. I’m open to anything! Shoot me a message. My childhood dogs and foster dogs get luxury treatment: reliable morning & evening food routine, meals with fresh/canned chicken, medicine in pill pockets or cheese, and both inside and outside chill access. My house has a yard for outside enrichment and puzzle toys for inside enrichment. On walks, I award treats for exemplary behavior (if brought or provided). Dogs are treated really well, because they are our best friends.
