Pet sitting

In-home care that keeps the familiar routine, with real-time photo updates.

Pets do best when life stays familiar. In-home pet sitting keeps your pet in their own space, on their own routine, with a trusted sitter who knows their quirks.

You get real-time photo updates, so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.

Pet sitting with Armful Pet in South Austin, TX means your sitter comes to your home. Your dog, cat, small pet or exotic pet keeps the bed, the bowls, the smells and the schedule they already know, which matters most for nervous pets, seniors and homes with more than one animal.

Every sitter is background-checked, and one trusted sitter looks after your pet, so the face at the door is the same each time. Your sitter follows your pet’s routine in your home, as you describe it to us.

Pet sitting is quoted after a short conversation about your pet and your schedule, because every home is different. New clients start with a meet & greet before the first visit, so your pet and sitter know each other before you leave.
