Our experience

10+ years

I've been a dog owner most of my life and not long ago lost both my yorkies :( They had a rare disease where their bodies didn't hold on to protein, so I ended up feeding them 4 times a day the last few years of their lives - not to

Sara & Earl are amazing sitters. They treated our pups as if they were their own. They took great care of both them and our house. We would highly recommend

Sara was great! She took some extra time to come and meet our family prior to our trip. She sent pictures during our time away and kept in touch.

Sara and Earl were great hosts. They went me updates on my animals twice daily. I felt comfortable that my animals were in good hands. I also let them borrow

Sara and Earl are a dynamic duo! Very communicative and easygoing, Sara sent us pictures and videos almost daily of our kitty Merlin, and I could tell that

I leaned on Sara countless times when I had to travel for work and leave my beloved kitties and dog Champ behind. We lived in the same apartment complex and had witnessed how good she was with her own dogs, and sure enough - she brought that same level of care to my babies and always made sure I knew how they were doing with pics and texts. Not only that, but she was also really good about paying attention to my plants - which let’s face it, in Austin heat can’t be ignored for long! The best part was that I always knew when I got home, I wouldn’t have to clean up any messes. The litter box was freshly changed and my babies were healthy and happy. There is no doubt in my mind that you can trust Sara with your most precious possessions and focus on enjoying your trip instead of worrying. She is exceptionally organized, makes good, thoughtful decisions, is reliable, neat, conscientious and was loved by my four-leggers!!!! You will just LOVE her.

About Sara & Earl

Howdy! My husband and I met, fell in love, married and made a life in Austin with our two 4-legged fur babies and life was grand... Then, after hitting 14 years of age - we lost both our babies and it seemed the right time to pack up

Why we want to house sit

We return stateside now and again and always head back to Austin to see loved ones. While family and friends have graciously offered their homes, we don't feel comfortable being such a burden. Instead, we'd MUCH rather be of SERVICE to
