In-Home Pet Sitting in Downtown Austin, TX

Your dog knows exactly when dinner is. Granted, he doesn’t know what a clock is, and he cannot read the numbers on your microwave, but at 5:45 PM he will begin reminding you that dinner is coming. If you have the temerity to let the clock strike six before you get food in that bowl, he will make a sound like air coming out of a balloon, slowly.

Your cat thinks this is “cringe.” She eats when she feels like it, which is usually at 3 AM under cover of complete darkness, as one does. She has spent most of the afternoon watching pedestrians from the window of your downtown apartment and judging their fashion choices.

Neither animal has much interest in your schedule. But you’ve got to fly out of AUS early tomorrow and you have a conference to attend. They still expect their meals and walks on time regardless of whether you have enough time during the layover to get into the airline lounge.

That's where Woofie's® of Austin Hill Country comes in. Our Downtown Austin pet sitting services bring professional care to your home. That means your pets can keep their routines even when you can't be there.

Pet Sitting That Works With Downtown Apartment Living

Downtown Austin is a wonderful place to live with pets. You have access to the Lady Bird Lake trails, neighborhood sidewalks, and all sorts of interesting sights and smells. For the dogs, anyway. Your cat is probably satisfied with the windowsill.

But city life does make pet care a little more complicated. You have to tell folks where to park or how to get through the lobby. And then your dog might have to go down the stairs because it’s not like a fifth floor apartment has a back door to a backyard.

Our pet sitters can work with your building's access requirements and your pet's routine. During a visit, we can handle feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, and litter box care. If your pet takes medication, we'll discuss the instructions in advance.

You’ll be able to schedule visits around what your pets need. That might mean a lunchtime walk for an energetic dog or an evening feeding for your cat. It might mean multiple visits. We adjust to the pets.

Keep Your Pet's Routine Right Where It Belongs

Some pets take changes in stride. Some…do not.

Your terrier may very well have spent six solid years sleeping under the same coffee table. Your cat might refuse to drink water from any bowl other than a ceramic one beside the refrigerator. When you arrange in-home pet sitting, you don’t have to uproot any of these comforting behaviors that your pets have adopted to feel stable in the world.

One of the lovely things about this is that your pets stay in a familiar environment. Their bed is still there and it smells like home. That already makes being looked after by someone new easier. Then from there, our pet sitters learn the important details after an initial consultation with you. And they follow through and give you updates while you’re away.

Overnight Pet Sitting for Longer Trips

Sometimes you need more than a few visits. Maybe you're leaving for a weekend wedding. Maybe you're visiting family for several days. Or maybe a work trip has you away from home overnight, and your dog doesn't do especially well by himself after dark.

Woofie's® of Austin Hill Country offers in-home overnight pet sitting from approximately 7 PM to 7 AM. Your sitter stays at your home to provide evening and morning care, companionship, and attention according to your pet's instructions.

This can work really well for pets who need company overnight or who find a change of surroundings difficult. Your cat, presumably, will continue pretending nothing unusual is happening, which is probably for the best.

Why Downtown Austin Pet Parents Choose Woofie's®

Hiring someone to take care of your pets is no small act of trust. And letting them into your home is an even bigger one. That’s why Woofie's® pet care professionals undergo background checks, and it’s why we learn your pet's needs before service begins too.

While you’re out, we can even take care of small tasks like bringing in the mail or watering plants. Most importantly, we’re there to follow through on the daily details that matter to your pets. That includes making sure your dog gets a little time in the sun and everyone gets the attention they’re used to.
