About: I have extensive experience working with a wide range of animals, including wild, domestic, and farm species. My passion for animals runs deep, and I am genuinely dedicated to understanding their unique needs and providing them with the highest level of care. Whether it’s ensuring the well-being of pets, assisting with the rehabilitation of wild animals, or managing the health and safety of farm animals, I am committed to giving each one the attention and love they deserve. Caring for animals is not just a job for me; it’s a calling that I approach with great enthusiasm and responsibility. I love visiting other people’s pets and caring for them! I am currently a local artist and a SAHM! I have a 3 year old who also loves animals! My personal animals have a daily routine and their own bedroom. With clients though I make sure they give me a list of directions so I do not miss any specifics.
“BEST IN ABILENE!!!!! Alexis was absolutely AMAZING. I had to leave for a last minute family emergency and she was on it. She is very great at communicating and also sending pictures of my adorable frenchie. If you need someone to watch your dog please go to her!”
About: My rates reflect the level of care and experience I provide. I’ve worked in both an animal hospital and a boarding facility, and I have over 10 years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages. I’m trained to administer medications (including injections) and I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician. Your dog isn’t staying in a kennel they’re getting personalized attention in a safe home environment, along with knowledgeable care you won’t find in standard boarding. I’m also able to provide nail trims and ear cleanings for a small additional charge. My goal is to make sure your furbaby feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away😊 Pet care blends naturally into my everyday life because I’m home all day with my baby. We spend most of our time in the living room or outside, so having dogs around just feels like adding more family to our routine. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, snuggles, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Since I’m always home, I can really focus on making sure each pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable, just like they would with their own family! In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly, playful Labrador who loves having company. I also have a cat who thinks he’s a dog himself and adapts to other animals very fast! I focus on creating a calm, welcoming environment where each pet feels like part of the family. Dogs get regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep routines consistent so they feel secure, and I always monitor interactions to make sure every pet is happy and comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years now and have 4 dogs of my own! Love all animals and can also administer any medications your furry friend may need 🤍 Currently a SAHM so I have free time all the time and am very flexible with whatever hours you may or may not need! Available whenever and wherever I have a fenced in yard, 4 friendly dogs and a lot of toys and treats to spoil your loved ones! I treat every animal that comes into my home just like they’re my own 🤍
About: I treat every pet like family! From walks and playtime to cuddles and meals, I make sure your baby feels safe, happy, and loved. I’ll also send plenty of pictures to keep you updated! Once your pet is in my care, they’re treated like family! I make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, meals, and potty breaks. I’ll follow your routines closely and send lots of pictures so you know your baby is safe, happy, and loved! In my client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure doors and gates are secure. I keep their food and water fresh and give them plenty of attention while respecting their space.
About: I’ve been petsitting for my friends and neighbours since I was 12, including administering medication, cleaning messes, housekeeping, and most all other common tasks and chores. If there’s a task you need of me that I don’t have experience in, I’d be glad to learn. As of right now I’m still in school, but after graduation (end of May, roughly) I’ll be available nearly 24/7. It’ll be ideal for me not to be scheduled for boarding on Fridays, but I will, of course, if your schedule calls for it! I absolutely value the trust of my clients and the safety of their pets, and will always do everything I can for them to feel they can leave their home and the pets inside it safe and secure with me.
About: When I was younger I had my own business taking care of pets and house sitting. I’ve always had dogs in my family since I was born and sleep with them every night. I grow up with my pets and see them at all their lows and can handle any situation they throw at me. As of right now, I’m free from 1-3:30 and anytime after 5 from Monday - Thursday. Friday I’m caught up in football until the season ends. On the weekends I’m free all the time. I have a fenced yard and a perfect pet friend to stay by their side. My whole family enjoys dogs and they’re treated like family here.
About: I have been pet sitting for my parents and family friends since as early as early as I can remember. Anything you need I promise I have most likely helped out with it! I am currently a Nursing Student at Texas Tech Health Science Center here so I am a pretty busy person but when I’m not at school I have a pretty open schedule. I treat my pets like they are my family I think they deserve the same love, care, safety, and attention you would give anyone else in your life.
About: I have grown up with 3+ dogs in a household. Currently I am the primary caretaker for all three of my dogs and have one current senior pup as well! I have trained all my dogs and am attentive to their needs and behavior as well. I am current college student who has free afternoons and weekends. I would be able to let dogs out in between classes as well or walk them. At home, I consider taking care of my personal dogs apart of my daily routine as well. I have a fenced in yard and crates for all dogs as well as a baby gate that can separate the dogs at any time. At home I am consistently loving on the dogs and taking them outside to run around the yard as well as taking them on walks or drives.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
