A more personal alternative to high-volume pet care
Pet Nannies of Austin is a small, relationship-focused pet care company built on continuity, careful screening, and clear communication.
Why we built Pet Nannies of Austin.
Choosing someone to care for your pets—and your home—is a meaningful decision. Whether you're leaving town for a weekend or planning an extended trip, you deserve to feel confident that everything at home is being handled with care, consistency, and good judgment.
I created Pet Nannies of Austin to offer a more personal alternative to high-volume pet care. Our work is centered on relationships: we take the time to understand each pet's personality, routine, preferences, medical needs, and comfort level, so their care feels familiar rather than disruptive. We intentionally remain a small team, and whenever possible, your pet is matched with the same trusted caregiver so they can build a genuine bond—rather than meeting someone new every visit.

What sets us apart
Consistent caregivers
We make every reasonable effort to assign a familiar caregiver, so your pet builds real trust over repeated visits.
Personalized routines
Care plans are based on your pet's normal schedule, temperament, and needs—not a generic template.
Detailed updates
Photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing while you're away.
Experience with a range of needs
We work with puppies, senior pets, and pets with medications, special needs, or separation-related anxiety.
Respectful home care
Basic agreed household oversight—mail, trash, lights, plants—while you're away, alongside your pet's care.
Direct owner involvement
A small-team model with clear accountability, not an app-based marketplace of unfamiliar sitters.
Built for real households
Our clients include busy professionals, frequent travelers, families with multiple pets, senior-pet households, puppies, and pets with medical, behavioral, or separation-related needs. Every care plan is customized to the pet, the schedule, the location, and the level of supervision required.
Who cares for your pet
Pet Nannies of Austin caregivers are trained, background-checked, insured, bonded, and Pet First Aid/CPR-certified. We believe excellent pet care requires more than affection—it requires reliability, observation, clear communication, good judgment, and the ability to respond calmly when plans change.
Protecting your pet, your home, and your peace of mind
Pet Nannies of Austin maintains active general liability and bonding coverage through Pet Care Insurance (PCI), subject to policy terms, limits, exclusions, and deductibles. Coverage generally does not extend to pre-existing conditions, natural causes, third-party interference, natural disasters, or events outside our reasonable control. Policy details are available on request.
Locally owned and operated
Pet Nannies of Austin is a locally owned Austin pet care company. We aim to preserve each pet's normal routine while maintaining clear communication and professional household standards throughout our service area. See our Service Area page for coverage details.
