Apple is celebrating her 4th birthday today, so of course we had to spoil her with a new toy! She also got a special treat from the boys. We love when we get to celebrate birthdays with our clients!

The bestest dog ever is back! Apple was our second client when we started this pet sitting gig a year and a half ago and she is also our longest stay ever staying for a whole month last summer. Her owners said she was sad and depressed when she went home last time because she loves our house so much!

Did you know your pet could be microchipped for free if you live in Leander? If you live somewhere else, check with your local animal services to see if they have a similar program!

Fur-iday Feel Good Story!
Meet Chichi, the cute Shih Tzu. She has been lost for just over 3 years! Her owner had to evacuate another state due to a hurricane and came to Texas with her family and Chichi. She left Chichi for a short period of time with a friend to care for her and she got lost. Nathalia, the owner, spent years looking for Chichi. One day Chichi was found emaciated and with injuries, by a good Samaritan. He cared for her, not knowing she had a microchip. Yesterday, he was speaking with Animal Services and they offered to scan Chichi for a microchip. Chichi's owner was contacted and they were finally reunited!

Leander Animal Services offers free microchips for pets residing in the City of Leander. Contact Leander Animal Services at 512-528-2800, for more information.

We love happy customers! Merlin started coming to us in July and has already visited us 3 times. He’s such a big sweetheart and we can’t wait to see him again!

Your furry friend will love their vacation with us! We offer family-style boarding in our home, so your dog can relax and have fun while you're away. We'll take your dog for walks, play fetch in the yard, and give them all the love and attention they deserve. We'll even send you updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing.

Who’s with us?

Need a pet sitter while you travel? Sit, Stay, Slager offers family style boarding, and only accepts 1 client at a time, so your dog is treated like they would be at home! We also can do drop in visits to your house, which is a great option if you have cats and other animals, or if your pups prefer to stay at their own place.

A little about us: We have 2 boys (8 and almost 2) who absolutely adore animals. My husband works from home (you may have seen him riding around on his OneWheel), and I work part time at a preschool during the school year. So aside from an occasional family outing, there is pretty much always someone at home. We have a fenced in back yard, and we love playing outside (more so when it’s not 105* 🥵). We have 1 cat, who is super chill as long as the dog doesn’t try to eat her. 😅

We would love to set up a meet and greet and get to know you and your furry pals! August is starting to fill up for boarding, but we have plenty of drop in spots still open.

We love our kitty clients! We know that cats can be a little more independent than dogs, but they still need love and attention when their humans are away.

We'll come to your home and take care of everything your cat needs, and make sure they are happy and loved while you are away!

When the toddler and the dog both listen to “sit” 😅

I heard it was so of course I had to share some favorite selfies with our furry friends!

We are celebrating a birthday here today! Apple turned 3 years old and we are so lucky to get to celebrate her big day with her.

Don’t tell the other dogs, but she is one of our favorites 😉🤫

Cabo for the weekend? Yes please! This sweet girl just got dropped off and we love her already.

Good info on how often you should wash your pup’s stuff! I’ll post a link in the comments for some tips on how to clean them effectively too.

Whew, that was a busy weekend! We had multiple drop ins stacked, so of course there was lots of sniff time with all the pets when we arrived. Not counting our own kitty, we cared for 4 dogs and 7 cats this weekend.

Does your dog like to jump on the trampoline? This was one of Leo’s favorite activities when he stayed with us. (And our 8 year old son thought it was the best thing ever!)

Did you know we don’t just take care of dogs? We can provide drop in visits for your cats, too! And they are sure to get lots of loving from one of the boys.

Who can relate?

Did you know that some flowers and plants are harmful to your pets? Check those Valentine’s Day bouquets, and make sure you put them in a safe area if any of these are in them! Then check the comments for a link that goes into more detail about each one.

The big game is starting soon! Who are you rooting for?

Alex is with us for the weekend, and we just adore him! He loves playing ball and going for walks. He is so big and fluffy and makes a great cuddle partner! 😍

Hi! I’m Desiree, one of the people behind Sit. Stay. Slager. I have been an animal lover all my life and have cared for everything from dogs and cats, to birds and bunnies! I work part time at a school, and when I’m not at work I enjoy spending time outside. I’d love the chance to meet your pup(s) and get to love on them!
