Pet Loving Travelers
Cindy was amazing with our two cats - she sent us videos and photos every day and was attentive to their behavior (such as Meg tending to steal Liz’s food and Liz’s peculiarity about not eating in the same spot twice)! As a house guest, she was easy to host and left the house in amazing condition. I do hope she had a good time on her petsitting holiday as we did on our trip, knowing our pets had the company of a loving & caring individual. This was our first experience with housesitting and I cannot imagine a better start to this journey than we had with Cindy!

Caring, reliable, trustworthy pet whisperer
I didn’t get the opportunity to meet Kelli and Warren, but after being back just a couple of days I’ve already had a few neighbors mention to me how warm, personable and kind they are! Based on our video chats, texts, and the care provided I definitely agree. If Kelli and Warren apply for a sit at your home, I couldn’t recommend them more. Clear and consistent communication, friendly, very caring for pets. I returned to a very clean home with clear info on what had been done etc. Here comes the over and above part. As a housesitter on this site as well as a pet parent, I’ve had good and not so good experiences in other peoples homes. I usually feel really good about the exchange I offer, between my home, the location, and what a sweet dog I have, (although of course I’m biased.) But this time was a bit of a different story. Mid way through the sit I told Kelli I was going to extend my trip, and asked what time she’d be leaving so I could post for the additional days and coordinate with my boyfriend to clean and prepare for next sitter. Kelli instead offered to stay through the extension which made things easy! Then, a few hours later texts me “btw, we’ve been seeing some roaches” I’m of course mortified. I had seen some in my apartment previously and management had sent someone to spray and I thought it was all taken care of. Turns out that wasn’t the case, they were back with a vengeance and suddenly alongside Nico updates I was receiving roach updates as well. I told Kelli they could end the sit early, my bf could handle my dog and I would totally understand, but they opted to stay. Maintenance came to spray again while I was gone, and now I’m back and they are doing a multi unit attack, but what a nightmare! Kelli and Warren cleaned, took all of the dishes out of the cabinets to wash them, bought traps and just went over and above. TLDR: Great housesitters, can adapt in crisis, go over and above, and take dog great photos! 100/10 can recommend. Hopefully you still had some good times in Austin, and know that many of my neighbors would love to have y’all return to Austin just to hang out!

Responsible couple will put you at ease by taking care of your loved ones
Julie and Michael were a pleasure. We enjoyed getting to know this couple and we hope they will have an opportunity to sit for us again. Both Junior and Sheba were rather shy with them but eventually warmed up. I would recommend going forward that communication and pics be forwarded more frequently. Pet parents like to see their babies. Plants and kitties were in good health and I appreciated the good care. House was immaculate when we returned. Many thanks.

Marnie cared for our home and pets on two separate occasions. She was an excellent communicator and left our home spotless. She was very pleasant, personable and has good sense with animals including large breed dogs like ours. We’d welcome her back in a heartbeat!

Hi! My name is Taylor, and I would love the opPAWtunity to meet your needs! :)
Taylor was great! She sent me pictures of Chica everyday and gave her lots of TLC.
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Summer was a very top-quality pet sitter and house sitter. She not only took excellent care of all four pets (three cats and a dog) but even achieved a very close bond with one of the cats. She went over and above the call of duty with our dog, who developed a serious skin condition while we were gone. We're so grateful that Summer was able to identify there was a problem, took the dog to the vet several times, and ended up having to apply topical medication and give pills and even keep the dog dressed in a t-shirt, which she did flawlessly. She communicated with us frequently, sending photos and updates, and the house was spotless when we returned, even cleaner than when we had left. She did an amazing job, knew how to handle any situation, always had a very upbeat and positive attitude, and we really enjoyed getting to know her right before we left and right after we returned. We would very very highly recommend Summer in all respects!
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.

We have left our Oakley with the Ruff-Inn Pet Lodge several times! Each time we pull up - our sweet girls leaps out of our car and heads straight to the gate to run and play. It’s such a good feeling knowing she’ll be loved on, taken care of, and allowed to run and play while we are away, rather than sit in a small kennel all day. 1,000% recommend!!
I can't remember the owner's name to save my life but she is absolutely amazing! Are two year old boxer never likes going to boarding houses or kennels but when we take him to the Roof Inn he is trying to tear through the car door to get out and go inside and play! The first time we picked him up from there he looks like he actually put on weight any other time we taking him anywhere else he lost a bunch of weight that says enough in and of itself.
Awesome place , our fur babies love it here. We always know they are well taken care of and enjoying their time at the inn, so that we may rest easy when they can't be with us. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend for your fur babies.
Our dog loves to hang out at Ruff-Inn Pet Lodge! Miss Amy does a great job with him and he doesn’t even care to tell us bye when we drop him off. The process for drop off and pick up is super easy and Amy is wonderful to work with.
Best quality pet care you can get in the area! Amy is top notch. My dogs love coming here! Amy does her very best to accommodate all of our needs. I am 100% worry free when I drop my dogs off here!
This is the best place to take your dog!! Amy is great! She loves all her dogs and mine comes home exhausted from playing and running and making friends!! I highly recommend Ruff Inn!!!!
My Kylo absolutely loves going to the Ruff-Inn Pet Lodge. Very clean and spacious. Miss Amy is awesome with her guests. There's no looking back when Kylo walks thru that gate! Peace of mind when you leave your pets at the Ruff-Inn.
This is seriously the best place! Ms. Amy is so great with all the dogs and takes great care of them. Will drop off to you too if needed… seriously the greatest place and she handles my high maintenance girl beautifully ❤️
Fantastic facility, people and amenities! The family is very welcoming and treats my dog as there own! The facility is clean, ALWAYS! and the amenities include a fire hydrant, pond with a bridge to the island if they dont like the water, toys galore and much more!
Harper loved her first stay at Ruff-Inn! I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby there. I would definitely recommend!
I brought my dog here hoping he would have some fun with other dogs and get some outdoor exercise since there are no dog parks in Alice TX and it was not worth it, I won't be returning. This place is disgusting, it's just small warehouse with a circle playpen inside with a few toys scattered around the floor. They don't take your dogs outside so the entire place smells like urine and it's dark with no windows. There are no activities for the dogs to do or play on like a normal dog daycare even though they have a large outdoor yard they do not use it so your dog is either locked up or stuck inside a playpen. Whoever owns this place is clearly not a dog lover. Do NOT recommend.
I thought long and hard about leaving a review but if it saves a life then here we go. If you value your dog don’t leave it here. Boarding your pet is an 8 to 5 job for them. Your pet will stay in a kennel and be only let out a couple of times a day. My dogs eat twice a day. They were only feeding them once a day every time I would pick up my Pets it always came with a vet bill. There was something always wrong anything from cough, to rashes and even injuries. Once I brought up a complaint and was told “Oh that’s not that bad we have a dog back there that just chewed off its toe” like it was an everyday thing! Find somewhere else to leave your pet. Trust me.
My mom loves this place, always asks me to drop off our dog for a bath. Our Maggie is usually very shy but the workers there treat her very patiently, Bruni and Mya make her feel comfortable :) And she always comes back smelling amazing, she's gotten used to her baths now and is much more open to play with other dogs. Definitely will keep coming ❤️
Great staff and wonderful facility. Patric and his crew really care about the animals and have a good working relationship w pet parents and their charges. Really appreciate the fact the staff enjoy animals and it shows . Peace of mind knowing that our pets are well cared for on any occasion when we need pet boarding. Our blue heeler gets along w no one: he bonded wonderfully w patric and that was remarkable. We give 5 stars plus!
I recently left my pet at VIPet Boarding for a couple of days and I must say I am pretty dissatisfied with how service was conducted. I made a reservation for my pet days before their scheduled stay to assure that he would have a kennel. I gave dates of when drop off would be and when pick up would be. After picking him up and reviewing my receipt online (because I was told I couldn't get a print out and it would be emailed to me) I noticed that there were unknown charges added to my account. I had Christmas/New Years charges added, when my pet was not kenneled during this time. When I called to question the charge, I was placed on hold for over 10 min. and hung up due to no answer. Once they finally returned my phone call, they stated that holiday rates start way before the holidays. Upon looking at the VIPet Website, I do understand it says that an additional fee will be added for Holidays but it is not specific on time frame. This is very misleading for customers and leads to additional fees being added without them knowing. Also, I called to ask if they could add a bath to my pet prior to me picking up my pet and they stated to me that they wouldn't be able to do it until the following day after 10am and never mentioned a late check-out fee that was also added to my bill. Again, very misleading and should of been mentioned or stated online about late check-out fees. Very disappointed in service as I had to end up paying additional fees I was unaware of. Wish this would of been avoided by having them tell me about added fees or having them clearly stated online. I will be thinking twice about leaving my pet over at VIPet Boarding again....
The 1st time I took my dog the there we left him for a week seems good then I boarded him again this passed weekend he was not bathed like I had instructed the lady there made a comment when I picked up my dog and said "oh good I can clean his kennel" I thought that was strange when I got my dog to put him in the car his head a poop all over his head and all over his button like hi was sitting on it he stunk so bag worse then what had dropped him off I just took him home and bathed him myself that's because when I dropped him off I gave them a compliment on how good he smelled and for days. Yeah I was so disappointed this 2nd time 😔
Very clean establishment, the younger girl and with the longer hair and the man helped my German shepherd come back smelling good and with her nails trimmed perfect at a good price will be for sure taking my dog Keira back. 5 stars to her for the amazing service and job.
I absolutely love this place. The staff is fabulous and they did a great job on grooming my dogs that were visiting from Europe.
This is such an awesome place for our pups. There is nothing like this around here. Super convenient. Great people.
Took my dog for a bath return to me wet and still smelling.never will I go again.
