True Pet Care LLC is a women-owned small business with a mission to provide the best pet sitting care in Round Rock and surrounding areas. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that the best care is being given to your best friends. Our service is very trustworthy and reliable and we take our pet sitting business very seriously.

True quality pet care begins with great customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is only possible with honest personal attention and transparent open communication between the pet sitter and the pet owners. True pet care is about compassion and understanding.

General policies and pet safety

Pet safety is the number one priority for us. This means a number of things:
  1. We are very particular about the clients and environments we choose to service.
  2. During our first meet and greet meeting you’ll be asked to complete and/or sign detailed Pet Owner, Pet information, Emergency and Vet information, Legal agreement and detailed service request forms.
  3. We will ensure your pet will never be left without sufficient food, water, medication, potty breaks and required loving attention for a period of time that exceeds what is necessary to insure a safe.
  4. If you ran out of food or water for your pet, we will cover this; but these extra costs will be passed to you.
  5. You must provide sufficient medications (when applicable) to insure pet safety.
  6. You must book sufficient visits a day to insure your pet gets the attention, breaks, fresh water and food and medications. For example, if you are gone the whole day for more than 12 hours, this would mean a minimum is 2 visits. You must book at least one visit a day for us to provide food, water and provide the needed attention that your pet needs.
  7. We reserve the right to add visits to further reduce the time your dog is left unattended without access to go potty outside. If the pet is repeatedly unable to accommodate the schedule you have chosen, we will add the required number of visits.
  8. For cats, we require you book sufficient visits to insure that they can receive food, water and have their litter box cleaned at least every other day.  This policy applies even if you have an automatic feeding or watering system, because we must still check to insure their health and safety during your absence.
  9. Same applies to other kinds of pets — we require you book sufficient visits to insure their safety.
