About Southpaw ATX

Pet care that actually feels like home

Hi, I'm Sarah. East Austin-based pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. I started Southpaw ATX because I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and at ease when their people are away.

I keep my client list intentionally small and serve a tight radius around East Austin, so every pet gets real attention, not a rushed visit.
