Our home

Our home is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with two separate living rooms, located on a lovely tree-lined street in the Northwest Hills neighborhood of Austin. It's a quiet, walkable area where you can stroll to coffee shops, the library, post office, and a grocery store along Far West Blvd. For anyone who likes to get outside, we're about a mile from the back entrance to the Bull Creek greenbelt trails, which are great for walking or hiking and our neighborhood is very walkable.

Out back, we have a large backyard with a deck and a hot tub, perfect for relaxing in the evenings. You'll have a comfortable bedroom to yourself with a connected bathroom with a double sink and walk-in shower.

favoriteWhat we love about our area

Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street, yet close to it all: 1 mi to Mopac, 15 min downtown, 12 min to Lady Bird Lake, Zilker & Barton Springs. Walk to coffee shops, library & grocery. Bus stop .2 mi away. Bull Creek trails a mile out. Best of both worlds!

Ziggy is our 4lb 6 year old Havanese. She is a chill little girl and my side-kick. She is healthy and not on any meds. She sleeps with my husband and I at night in our bed and starts at our feet and usually ends up at my back. She gets fed 2x a day based on when she tells us she is hungry and goes to the backdoor when she wants to go outside. She does about 10 tricks for a treat. She enjoys an occasional walk but is not walked daily as she is so small and we have a backyard for her to play in when she likes. She is an indoor dog though and doesn't usually spend much time in the backyard unless we are back there. She is a pretty quiet dog and will only bark or make her little growl sounds when she hears dogs outside or maybe squirrels in the backyard. She honestly mainly lies around. She can be roused to chase you around or to play with her Lambie. She is typically watched by our friends or family when we are away at our house or theirs.

Hayley's home was very comfortable and pleasant. Her dog Kosmo was a very precious pet to sit. If you're looking for a great place to stay while visiting Austin, I recommend a sit for this overly family!

I had a wonderful house sit for Haley and her family. The dogs were amazing to be with and adjusted well to having me in their home. The house is well cared for and the neighborhood was quiet but close to stores and activities. Haley left detailed instructions on the care of her dogs as well as resources in the local area of interest. We communicated easily by text while she was away and replies were quick despite the time differences and her travel schedule. Thank you Haley and family for a ...
