Pet Sitting & Cat Care

Personalized pet sitting and cat care specifically tailored to your pet’s needs

We are pet owners ourselves. The Happy Tails Team understands how incredibly important it is to know your fur baby is safe and in excellent care when you are away! This is why we offer customized daily and overnight pet-sitting services and send daily updates.

Pet sitting isn’t rocket science, but we take it very seriously – we are entering your home and caring for a cherished family member.  This is a responsibility we do not take lightly.  All of our sitters have had a background check and we have been a member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters since 2013.  You can trust that your pet will receive excellent and reliable care when with the GT Team.

We care for a variety of animals like: pigs, goats, horses, birds, rabbits as well as dogs and cats.

Austin's Trusted Pet Care Services

Pet Sitting

 When we pet sit you will get an update after every visit with pictures of your cutie patootie! We also bring in the mail & packages and can water your plants too.  Many times we will mix in our Dog Walking Service so your dog gets exercise too. Dogs tend to get several visits/day and cats usually get one to two visits/day.

Cat Sitting Visits

Because Home Is Where Cats Are Happiest

Whether you’re away for a weekend or an extended vacation, you shouldn’t have to spend your trip wondering if your cat is okay.

Our professional cat sitting visits allow your feline friend to stay where they feel safest and most comfortable—at home. We’ll provide fresh food and water, scoop the litter box, administer medications if needed, and, of course, offer plenty of affection (on your cat’s terms, of course!).

Some cats greet us at the door. Others prefer a quiet conversation from across the room before deciding we’re worthy of their company. We happily meet each cat where they are, respecting their unique personality and routine.
With thoughtful updates and photos after every visit, you’ll know your beloved companion is happy, healthy, and receiving the same kindness and attention we’d give our own pets.

So go ahead—enjoy your vacation, focus on your business trip, or be fully present with family. We’ll care for the one waiting patiently at home, giving you the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’re in loving, dependable hands.

Overnight Pet Sitting & House Sitting

We normally arrive at 7 PM and are there for a minimum of 24 hours. This can be extended – the overnight pet-sitting schedule will be customized to fit your needs. Visits during the day are separate and a la carte. When submitting your pet-sitting request please let us know if you want daily visits or overnight sitting and how many visits per day you need for your fur baby.

Short Pee + TLC Sitting Visit

This short and sweet pet sitting visit is often added on to other services. We let your dog out to pee and love them with back scratches and belly rubs.

This visit is perfect for puppy potty training and or house-training, especially when added to a dog walking or aerobic play schedule. It is imperative to have a puppy on a schedule that gives them lots of opportunities to go potty outside. This sets them up for success and the rule of thumb is that a dog can hold it one hour for every month old they are. A schedule with dog walks and potty breaks gives the puppy exercise, socialization, and opportunities to pee outside.

This pet sitting service is also perfect for the sweet senior dog who may not be up for a full walk and may have some incontinence issues. We love giving the special seniors a little extra love whenever we can.

The Game Time Dog Services Team is here to help for all stages of life.

Senior Companion Visits

Senior sweethearts hold a special place in our hearts. These gentle visits are all about comfort, companionship, and a little extra TLC. We’ll refresh their water, tend to their basic needs, and most importantly, spend time giving them the attention, affection, and love they deserve.

Because sometimes what an old friend needs most is simply a good friend by their side.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pet Sitting & Cat Care

Do you provide pet sitting while clients are out of town?

Absolutely!

We provide professional in-home pet sitting so your pets can remain in the environment where they’re most comfortable — their own home.

Depending on your pets’ needs, visits can include meals, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, litter box care, medication when appropriate, play, enrichment, affection, and general home care.

How often do you visit cats?

For the health and safety of the cats in our care, we require at least one visit every 24 hours while you’re away.

Even independent cats can become ill, accidentally become trapped somewhere in the home, spill their water, experience litter box issues, or have another unexpected problem.

A daily visit allows us to confirm that your cat is safe, eating, drinking, and behaving normally — while also providing fresh food and water, litter box care, enrichment, and some human companionship.

Do you care for senior pets or pets with special routines?

Absolutely. We understand that senior pets and pets with special needs often thrive on familiarity and consistency.

We’ll carefully review your pet’s normal routine, mobility considerations, feeding instructions, medications we are able to administer, and any other important details during onboarding.

If your pet requires specialized medical care beyond what our team can safely provide, we’ll always be upfront about it.

What if my pet has an accident in the house?

Pet accidents happen! Normal cleanup is part of caring for your pet, and we’re not going to leave a mess sitting there waiting for you.

If an accident requires extensive cleanup that falls outside the normal scope or time of the scheduled visit, an additional fee will apply.
