“Corlena was so great for my dog and cat! She took this on with late notice and on a holidayy week, which we greatly appreciated. Our dog Loved her and was so grateful for her pop bys while we were away.”


About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet sitter and dog walker with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, especially senior pups. 🐶🐾 I currently work from Home and my schedule is pretty flexible so I can check on your babies frequently. Please give me an excuse to get me out of the House. My household ranges from a Chihuahua to a Doberman so im very comfortable with any size pet. My Senior Dog Kylie was just diagnosed with Diabetes so I am very comfortable with administering insulin and medication. I will treat your babies so good that they'll be begging you to go on another trip just so they can hang out with me. 😁

“Roxi took such good care of my girls! Happy pups - thank you so much!!”


“Breanna is awesome, our dog Amber really likes her and she does a great job of checking in with us. I definitely recommend her for your dog sitting services!”


About: I’ve recently lost both of my elderly pets (one dog Jax, one cat Oliver) & have adopted two extremely chill cats via my partner. While I’m not ready to get another dog since Jax’s passing, I am more than ready to love on others! I’ve loved animals my entire life. I’ve grown up with them and raised them. I understand how crucial it is to have someone trustworthy to take care of your babies & give them all the love they need and want. Right now I’m home alone with the cats while waiting for summer break to pass by. My partner is working full time and I’d love to love on your babies while I’m home cleaning, doing homework, or finding little activities to fill my day. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of grass. It is routinely treated for ants. I have wood floors that get swept constantly and clean my cats’ litter boxes every day.

About: I worked at a boarding company in Austin and was able to learn a lot about dog and cat behaviors. I worked there for 2 years! After going to college I continued my dog boarding experience and worked for another dog app company. I can visit homes, walk dogs daily, feed cats, and can even stay at homes! Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. I love animals and am so excited to take care of more soon! I am currently a full time student at ACU, but am able to work in the late afternoon, nights and weekends!! I and willing to work around my school schedule! I will not be able to offer dog and cat boarding services in my home, as I live in an apartment an I am in school.

“Chasidee is a great cat sitter! She is dependable and went above and beyond our expectations. Our cats loved her visits, getting love from her, and all the nice treats she gave. We will definitely be using Chasidee again and recommend her highly.”


“Stacy was a great pet-sitter! She took amazing care of my dog, Roger, and I could tell because she sent lots of photos and updates on him. Roger wasn’t anxious at all when I returned home so I know he was well taken care of and loved. It meant a lot to me to know my dog felt safe and had company when I was away. Thank you, Stacy!”


About: I’ve taken care of my own 2 boxers since they were puppies, and now there are 7 years old and still energetic! I have pet sat for various neighbors and families. I’m available for overnights or drop in visits. I am currently attending nursing school at Texas Tech! I am available Monday-Sunday which includes drop in visits. I do attend class during the week, but I am available to give care in between my classes. I provide your pet with stays at the comfort of their own home. I know how stressed and overwhelmed pets can get by being in a new environment. I want to make sure your pet is always well cared for and comfortable.

About: Leave your pets with someone that cares! I have a remote job so I can devote a lot of attention to your fur baby! I have had several animals in my family growing up. I have a strong understanding for pets and their behavior because of raising them when I was you g. I will take them at any age and I am very flexible with the schedule. I have a medium size backyard and two parks to take walks right beside me. I will be your pet’s favorite sitter. I have a flexible job and kids that love to play with pets. If you are looking to have a sitter that loves pets, that would be me! I have a fenced yard and the ability to have pets sleep inside each night. I am home during the day and night time so your pet will remain safe.

About: I have 8 years of experience with caring for animals and have been volunteering/ owning pets of my own since I was young! I understand that your pets are your family member and am willing to accommodate to their every need. In the past I have walked dogs of all sizes, with and without pulling issues. I also have house sat for multiple people and can provide references upon request. I am a very active person and have no problem going on multiple walks/ play dates a day. I have experience with both young and older animals, and also some knowledge in regards to animal first aid as well. Each day, I take the time to walk/ play/ adventure with my dog, Raider. We would love to have your animal tag along with us!! :) I enjoy all types of physical activity, especially hiking! I would love to play, bathe, and simply hang out with your animals! Whether your dog is high energy or a couch potato, I can match their needs!

“Mia was very attentive and extremely nice to communicate with. She goes above and beyond. Your fur babies are in the best hands possible with Mia!”


About: I love taking care of other peoples animals and would love to take care of y’all’s! I have experience with dogs and cats. I am a registered nurse and have experience with medicine so if you have medicine requirements I can do that. I currently work 3 nights at my job so the other days I’m free to work any of the other days. I’m flexible. Thank you! My pets are my babies so I am with them most of the day. I spend a lot of one on one time with them!

About: I am thankful to have grown up in a home with many animals. Over the past 22 years, I have loved and had the opportunity to take ownership of about 8 dogs and 2 cats. They have all been lovely and I could not have imagined my childhood without them being apart of it. I have been fortunate enough to have friends at school that are pet owners and have been given the opportunity to build relationships with their dogs, and even get to care for them when they have been away. This has given me the chance to still connect with dogs, while being away at college. I thought, why not try to make this an even bigger opportunity and try to meet more dogs right where I’m at! We currently have 4 dogs at home and I have had the pleasure of walking and spending time with each of them when I visit home on the weekends or am home for holiday breaks. Every dog we have owned has been very unique, so I’ve learned how to tailor my care taking methods to each one of their individual needs. From our high energy pups who love to chase tennis balls to older dogs who enjoy a leisurely stroll, I’ve realized that every one of our furry friends is special in their own way and deserve intentional care and love! Feeding time, special treats, doggie cuddles, and bath time when necessary are always my top priority for your furry friend to ensure they are comfortable and feeling fully loved while in my care. Safety is always my top priority! I always make sure that safe leashes (harnesses preferred) are used and proper walking etiquette is performed to ensure a positive and stress-free experience for your precious pet! As well as your pets maintaining hydration in this hot Texas heat. I am currently working a part-time job Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00am-12:00pm, as well as performing as a full-time student at Texas A&M University. My week days are available early mornings before work and classes begin, along with afternoons in between classes for potty breaks, toy time, and special treats and later evenings for walks and end of the day care. Thursday through Sundays are typically my most flexible days and would be the most suited for pet boarding in your home, or my home. The weekends are consistently my most available days for any type of pet or home care. As a trusted pet sitter, I have provided care for countless dogs while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure in their own environment, which is why I offer in-home pet sitting services. During visits, I ensure your dog receives the love and attention they need, following their regular feeding and exercise routines to maintain stability and reduce stress during your absence. I also have experience administering medication with my own dogs at home and would be happy to help in doing so with your dog. Please let me know in advance if their are any special instructions for this service. My goal is to give all of my clients a peace of mind knowing your furry friend is truly in good hands.

“We short notice went of town and 1st time using this app, Erin was so wonderful and loving to our fur baby! Went above and beyond. Wonderful experience thank you so much!”


About: I have cared and trained my 2 family dogs for the past 8 years! We love to go on daily walks, visits to the park, and play ball. I also bathe and clean them as needed. I have helped neighbors and friends numerous times to care of their pets and houses when they are on vacation. I recently graduated with my bachelor's degree in Psychology and am waiting to start a master's program in Occupation therapy in August! I have a ton of free time and will surely be accommodate for your furry loved ones! Given that I have pets of my own, I highly value and respect any degree concern that you may have and will be sure to alleviate that to the best of my ability. I will treat your loved family member as my own and make sure that they are given the attention they deserve. I will always be easily reachable to communicate with any pictures, requests, or needs while your pet is in my care.

“Our two low maintenance but high attention need dogs were well taken care of and Ashlee was so helpful to grab mail/packages and keep an eye on our house in general. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since the age of 12. I was always first the person my extended family would ask to watch their pets whenever they went on a vacation or needed extra help. I am most familiar with hunting/sporting breeds, but I am open to meeting all kinds of dogs! I am currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty open. I will be available Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, as well as some evenings. I am more than willing to come over to help let your pup out, feed them, play with them, and help assist with any other tasks if needed. I am a fairly active person and I enjoy going on long walks with my dog, Remy, and hopefully in the future your dog as well!

“Thank you, Charlie! Sincerely. Our home is a handful and a half with the pets we have but he handled it professionally, was personable, thorough, and attentive. I would highly recommend him to anyone!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds for about 3 years now. I would love the opportunity to get to know your best friend!! I am a college student and on the weekends i would love to spend time with your pets and it allows for me to do homework at a later date also. Right now I have a pet back home that my family is taking care of but as of my clients pets i want them to be loved and know that they will always be taken care of.

Jacob G.Star Sitter
“When we went on out of the country, he stayed at our house and cared for our 3 dogs and 2 cats. He fed them, walked and bathed them. We were so surprised when we got home, even the house was clean! He is our go-to when we go out of town or when we are busy so take them out.”


Alicia G.
“We are the proud “parents” of Edgar, a curly labradoodle that just turned 5, but is still a goofy active puppy by all appearances. He loves his ball and his humans. One of his favorite humans is ALICIA GONZALEZ. When Alicia takes care of Edgar, he knows his tummy will be rubbed, his ball will be thrown (over and over and over again), and his life will be good. Alicia adores dogs and they adore her back, basking in the attention she showers on them. She is reliable and responsible so you can rest assured that when you are away, your pet will be living large. Just be careful they might start to like her best!”

“Jenna has been a great dog walker and dog sitter. She has been a great caregiver to my Goldendoodle Ocean who is quite wild but Jenna has found a way to keep him tame and has also taught him to behave better so when I walk him he is tamer.

Finn and Daisy are always ridiculously happy to see her. We know she does more than just take care of their basic needs. She takes the time to pay with them and just be their person while we are away. I appreciate the extra time and care that was necessary as Daisy got older. Khloe is a great choice as your go to pet sitter.”
