In-Home Dog Sitting in Austin, TX
Your Dog Stays Home, On Their Own Schedule
Premier Pet TLC's insured, bonded and CPR certified sitters walk, feed and care for your dog in your Austin home, from 15 minute visits to overnight stays. You meet your sitter first and get photos after every visit.
WHY CHOOSE PREMIER PET TLC
Why Is In-Home Dog Sitting Better Than Boarding?
Dogs do best on a steady routine. At home, your dog keeps the same walks, meals, potty breaks and bed, and avoids the crowded kennels where illnesses like kennel cough spread.
Same schedule: walks, meals and medication happen at the times your dog expects.
Less stress: familiar rooms, smells and yard help nervous dogs stay calm.
Fewer germs: no shared space with dozens of other dogs.
A home that looks lived in: someone is coming and going while you are away.
Does your dog get anxious alone or sleep in a crate? Ask about more visits a day or overnight care from 9:30pm to 6:30am at your meet-and-greet.
