“Megan watched our fur children for 5 days. She stayed overnight with them and cared for them in our home. She kept us up to date to let us know that they were doing well and eating well. She also took care of our home and watered my plants. We are very grateful to have found someone that we can trust with our dogs. She is very knowledgeable about animals and asked great questions! It is a huge relief to know that they are safe and well taken care of. Thanks so much Megan!!”


About: I am a sophomore at Tarleton as an Animal Science major! I grew up around horses, dogs, and cats so I have a pretty good knowledge and a big love for all of them! I will also feed horses! I am currently a student with very open availability. I spend most of my off time at home with horses and playing my with own dogs! I have an open yard, but I do have a fenced in area in the back. I have open space for play and I love playing outside with animals. Animals are allowed on my furniture, but I can keep them off per request.

“Hayden was wonderful. All my pets loved her and looked happy & content in all the pics she sent me. I will use her again and highly recommend her for taking excellent care of of your pets.”


“Harleigh is an absolute gem! She cared for all five of our animals with so much love and attention, and even looked after our home while we were away. I usually have a lot of anxiety when leaving my dogs, but with Harleigh, I felt completely at ease—I didn’t feel the need to check in even once. She went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for her care. Highly, highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was six years old, starting with my childhood dog. As an adult, I’ve had the joy of caring for my own pets, including three dogs, two rats, several fish, and even chickens. My experience goes beyond my own pets—I’ve also looked after animals for neighbors, family, and friends, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in giving every pet the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time as a Door Dasher and Uber Eats delivery driver. So I'll have plenty of time to play and attend to your pups at anytime of the day or night. I'm available for boarding your pets on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm. I live in a house on 10 acres of land so I have plenty of yard for your pups to run around. I also have 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. Also, if I need to kennel your dog, we do keep a large kennel in the house. We do allow the dogs on the furniture. We also have a bunch of dog toys and dog treats that we get from a monthly membership we pay for.
