We’d love to have Teresa and Stephen back. They came the evening before. We spent time together walking our dogs, playing fetch, and enjoyed great conversation over dinner. They took great care of Chewie, Solo, and our home. We appreciate the communication, photos, and care they provided. We highly recommend this lovely couple.

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.
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Ally was great! We got to meet for a few minutes before I headed out and I felt super reassured that both Goose and my home were in good hands. My cat is picky when it comes to strangers, but he was comfy in Ally’s lap right away the first night! She communicated well and sent cute pictures while I was away. My home was clean and Goose was happy when o got back. I highly recommend Ally as a sitter and she’s welcomed back anytime!
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.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
strongly recommend Christine and Phil to housesit for your kitty. Our pets, Babbles and Cousin Eddy, and property, were in very good hands while we where away for two weeks. They had a fair amount entailed with two cats on different food and needs. Cousin Eddy, or Edoardo, is a barn cat we recently adopted. Eddy is very sweet and stays outside but hangs out the side door wanting to be petted and fed; Bubbles is an indoor cat. Both cats were spoiled by Christine and Phil! Christine and Phil were also very caring and attentive with the needs of our Airbnb guests. During the time we were away they kept us updated daily (including photos of the cats). When we came home, our house was perfect, with lovely fresh flowers, notes for us, and our cats had been well-cared-for. They are wonderful house sitters, and we highly recommend them. They were Five-star sitters of our house and cats!
If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!

Cubbie had the best time. She spent 3 weeks, while we went on a road trip. Always sent me pics and videos. Great people to care for your doggie!!!!
Our pet, with separation anxiety, had a four day stay with Liv Kennels. She was well taken care of and was given a stuffed friend to ease her nerves during a rain storm. We were sent videos and photos of our pet enjoying the outdoors and interacting with other pets. Liv kennels is priced very reasonably. We were very happy with Liv Kennels and the care of our pet. Will most definitely take our pet back when the opposite arises.
Amazing owners,when we got our puppy we needed help with training her and liv kennels offered dog obedience school and when we got our sweet girl back she was like a whole new puppy. If we ever have any questions the owners are quick to respond and help us out. Overall we love our healthy sweet babygirl and couldn’t be any happier. Thank you liv kennels.
A solid, hidden gem!… I highly recommend Liv Kennels- They’re amazing people with beautiful dogs that have the best, wonderful temperaments. It’s clear they truly care about each one as if it is their own. They continue to be available for help or advice LONG after you take your pup home. True lovers of the breed, they certainly set the bar high. Would definitely do business with them again!
Liv Kennels took very good care of my Roxy. They sent me videos and pictures of my dog going for walks and interacting with her family. Her price is very reasonable, I am very happy with Liv Kennels. I am already making plans with her for a future Roxy stay.
I got the sweetest, most handsome male pup from Christine at Liv Kennels. From the time the pups were born Christine kept me informed on the progress of my baby pup with pictures, videos and messages. Liv Kennels goes the extra mile to make sure the up are taken care of and that they go to a living forever home.
Our basset hound Toby loved his stay and Liv Kennels kept us updated with texts and videos throughout our day during his visit. And they even recommend dog food since our pup has been very picky eater. Definitely recommend Liv Kennels for your fur baby.
We had a great experience with Liv kennels. Thanks to them we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our dog Maxx. They kept us informed on a how he was doing on a daily basis. They even sent us videos during his playtime . Great place and will be back soon. Highly recommend.
Boarded my two dogs. They did a fantastic job with my very shy and under-socialized rescue boxer mix. Would definitely use again. Christine was very accommodating and sent regular pics and videos of all the fun my dogs had.
Recently got a pup from them, best people you can deal with. Always kept me updated with pictures, and how he was doing. Looking forward to doing more business with them in the future!
My 2 dogs Daphne & Lily stayed with Sandy Oaks twice already, and they love it. The second time they went running to the door, went inside and through the gate without even a second glance. I felt shunned, LOL But they loved being there. They are definitely well taken care of and so spoiled by the staff. The staff is super nice and friendly to deal with as well, kind, compassionate and understanding. The facility is very nice and its such a relief to know my babies are well cared for when I am out of town. As you can see they are very spoiled. Thank you Sandy Oaks
The city was going to turn off the power from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. where we live and I had to be at work all day my baby would have been in the heat all day. I called Sandy Oaks and they worked him in. I read the reviews and I had some people highly recommend them and I strongly agree with them when I picked up my baby he was in such good spirits and was sad when we drove away. Not only will he be going back once a week for daycare he will be spending 10 days of boarding with them. I highly recommend them they were wonderful with my baby. Thank you Sandy Oaks for taking good care of my baby.
Been taking my two big dogs once a week for doggy day care for years. They're always happy to get there and worn out when they come home. Great folks!
We dropped our dog off here while on vacation in Port A. The staff really loves dogs and the price is very affordable. I recommend rather then paying hotel fees, Elle had her own little vacation while we had ours.
My two labs stayed for the first time over this recent holiday weekend at Sandy Oaks. I was impressed with the grounds and setting. Having the outdoor dog pond was a big plus because my dogs LOVE swimming and cooling off in the water. It was like they were at summer camp. The proprietors were extremely friendly and I felt comfortable leaving my “boys” in their care. It was very nice to schedule a bath prior to picking them up , clean smelling dogs is a real treat. I will schedule a repeat stay at Sandy Oaks for my next trip. Joanne
Our dogs had a wonderful time at Sandy Oaks. They came home from boarding tired and happy. The staff was friendly, caring and helpful. The facility was clean and dog-friendly. We are so glad to have found a place we can feel good about entrusting our pets to when we have to go out of town!
Amazing place to board your dog. The staff is awesome and they have very competitive prices. My dog Huey, loves to go swimming there. This has become our main place to board our pup.
This is the place where we typically leave our dogs when we have to travel and can't take them with us. We left them 4-5 times there already and always had a positive stay until this last time. We left them on a Thursday and picked them up on a Monday, when my wife arrived to pick them up as she was paying and leaving a tip (because we try to always tip when we can) and they didn't mention anything to her while she was doing that, they waited until she was done and then they said "full disclosure" and explained how one of our dogs was bleeding on Friday but nothing to be afraid of, maybe because of dry skin or something. Of course, accidents happen, this isn't the real issue but why didn't they call or anything on Friday or even Saturday?, why they waited 3 days to tell us something?. When we got home we looked at the wound which was obviously not healed and we washed it and put some bandage to see the vet the next day. At the vet he mentioned how the wound is "severely infected" and he needed urgent treatment, antibiotics, etc etc. As we wait for our dog to heal, we hope it is not anything major but a lot of questions come to mind: why did they downplay the wound? did they even washed it or looked at it?, we do not expect them to treat them like a vet would, we do not expect for accidents not to happen but at least let us know and we can cover the cost to take him to a vet or we can do something about it, if our dog would've stayed longer what would happen?, infection could've been way worse. Unfortunately we cannot trust this place anymore and we will not come back.
Recently, my two dogs had one of the best experiences here. Both are rescue dogs. Micco gets very stressed and has anxiety problems. He's never really been around other dogs as well so he's not a social butterfly to say. I also have a 12 year old small dog that is more to himself. After a couple of days of daycare and then boarding they were sooo happy and was ready to go back for more. I definitely, recommend this place for your dog. It changed mine for the better especially after being turned down from other local daycare/boarding places. Thanks for all you guys have done in caring for my two kids!
So grateful for this kennel!! I live on the road and finding good kennels is pretty tough in every area. The reviews for Sandy Oaks stood out from the rest of the other doggy daycares and they lived up to the expectations! Their facility was clean and they let my pup play in the pool every day. When I dropped her off for the first time, the staff was very gentle with introducing themselves to my dog and that alone just gave me piece of mind that they treat their animals well.
Absolutely wonderful choice for our dog when we have to be out of town; they always take the best care of her like she is their own! They are extremely welcoming and professional, you can see this is what they love to do and not just a business! They have always been exceptional in accommodating us and just recently got our girl in at the last minute when we lost power from a tropical storm for a whole week. They sent us daily videos of her exploring the grounds and completely enjoying herself, it makes us feel so much better whenever we have to leave her! Highly recommended!!
We absolutely love Ingleside Kennels. Ricardo looks after our 3 Pet Fur Babies with such great care. He also sends us regular videos and pictures while we are on vacation so we can see them and know they are happy. We highly recommend them for your Animal Boarding.
Ricardo was awesome! He was able to get our dog in on a last minute petcation and he loved it! Ricardo keeps us updated with videos and photos throughout the whole stay. Our dog, Coors, was happy when we picked him up. Definitely recommend bringing your pup! Coors will be back!
Ingleside Kennels truly deserves more than 5 stars. Our dogs, our babies, were welcomed by Richardo with warm loving arms. While they were on their petcation we received videos and were able to communicate with ease which in turn made my trip to see my family that much more enjoyable. I knew my babies were in caring arms. The facility is spacious and well taken care of. I definitely will be bringing my babies back to stay with Richardo whenever I decide to go out of town l. I highly recommend Ingleside Kennels!
Leaving my fur babies at Ingleside Kennel was the first time I was really at ease and could enjoy my vacation! Ricardo LOVES what he does and it shows! Great communication from the start and through my trip. I received videos and pictures of my dogs through my trip! We will be back for SURE!🐾🐶🦴
Awesome kennel! The owner sent us videos of our pup enjoying herself and getting exercise. Our dog didn’t come home with the “crazy eyes” she has come home with from being cooped up at other kennels. They took great care of her and we will definitely use this place again!
This was my first ever experience boarding one of my dogs. He had a 7 night “Petcation”. I am certain he loved every moment of it! Ricardo was nothing short amazing, compassionate and caring with my little pal. He took beautiful pictures of him daily and would send me videos everyday that we were apart. I received updates when they were on walks, photos by the pond, and videos playing near the peacocks. My mind was completely at ease and I knew that our puppy was in the best of hands, being cared for and most importantly; loved. I would recommend Ingleside Kennels and Ricardo to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. This is more than a “kennel”, it’s a home away from home for your best friend.
I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! I had such an amazing experience with Ricardo at Ingleside Kennels! I needed someone to look over my pup for the Christmas holidays and I am so lucky I found this wonderful place! Ricardo made sure to communicate with me every day - sending me photos and videos of my pup! I felt very comfortable asking him questions and letting him know what would be best for my pup! I also loved that they welcomed Choco a nice welcome sign at drop off! And to top it off Ricardo sent him home with a very thoughtful and generous Christmas gift! 🐶 I will definitely be back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thank you so much Ricardo! We love you!! 🐶🐾💙
Ricardo is amazing with all of our fur babies. We are repeat customers and all my dogs when dropping them off never look back in fear when we use Ingleside Kennels for vacations unlike others we have used locally in the past. Clean facilities and lives onsite. Highly recommend!
We had such an amazing experience with Ricardo! I have been searching for a good place to leave my fur baby and I have finally found the perfect place!! You can trust that your fur baby will be well taken care of, they also send pictures and videos daily which I loved!! We will definitely be back! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
