Austin Pet And House Sitters

"When a friend wasn't able to watch my dog at the last minute before a business trip, I consulted Angie's List to find a pet/house sitter. Because it was the last minute, many companies were unable to help me, but Joelyn was able to fit me into her schedule. I immediately liked Joelyn and felt comfortable leaving my pet (and house) in her care. During ...more the trip (and after returning home), I was quite impressed by Joelyn services, which exceeded all of my expectations. Joelyn maintained regular communication with me via text messaging throughout the trip, and also kept a detailed daily log of activity/tasks for my review when I returned home. My dog was happy and healthy upon my return, and my home was exactly as I left it. Price wasn't important to me when I booked

services, but I am certain that Joelyn's rates are significantly lower than other companies in the area. Without hesitation, I would use this company in the future; I would also recommend their services to anyone."

"Do make certain that all shots are up to date and that you have the record. She takes a copy and keeps it on file. Do bring the food and water dish--I forgot once--this is for your pet's comfort. Your animal will be happy as they are fed twice a day, have others to play with and get to exercise both in and out doors. It is as if they are at home ...more not kept in cages and let out for a few minutes to play. She loves animals which is obvious and they enjoy being at her place. This time I dropped my dog off in the morning and picked him up in the evening. Previously, I have left him for the weekend and while he is always happy to see me, he is also happy to return the next time. He loves to play with other dogs and does not have that opportunity at home."

"I worry about my pets like any parent would their kids and I couldn't find anyone that I could trust or treated my animals as their own, and not a job. came to my home and met my 4 legged kids, they loved her so much and I could see she was an animal lover. After spending time and answering a lot of questions, she put my mind ...more at ease. She was always available to answer my calls when I started missing my pets and even sent me pictures of them playing so I wouldn't worry. I was very, very happy with her service and I will use her every time I need a pet sitter. "

"We have about three dozen potted plants on our decks and patios. The plants require daily watering, by hand. In the past, when we've been away, we've relied on family and neighbors, with mixed results. Before our recent trip, we decided to try . We are glad that we did."

"I have a hard time leaving my animals with anyone besides my parents. I want my babies to be taken care of by someone who loves them. loved my pooch so I was completely confident leaving him with her. She is the only non-family member to receive that honor. When my dog died and her services were no longer needed, ...more continued her care of us and our dog; she sent us a note, and she left us a card and a picture frame. She's one of the great ones."

" is a terrific pet ; she is caring and has bonded with our dog. She is punctual and responsible. She also always keeps an eye out for the house, takes in a paper if there's one in the driveway, or checks to make sure the mail is taken inside from the mailbox."

"The experience was great. They came out in advance and met the pets and walked through the procedures. They brought a couple of people. There was more than just one person who knew the pets and knew how to handle them."

"we've been using for about 5 years to take care of our cats when we go on vacation. She's wonderful! Not only does she feed them and clean their litter boxes, she plays with them and makes sure they get attention while we're gone. We can relax when we're on vacation knowing our cats and our house are in great hands."
