“I'm so glad Lindsey was able to hang out with my little miss again: she updated me when she was a little sick, and was kind enough to take care of it! Greatly appreciated and will book again.”


“Connie, as always, was fantastic! Very reliable, kind, attentive and especially patient with my very active (and loving!) pups. I will continue to use her services as long as she is available.”


“Ericka did an amazing job looking after our 3 kitties! She is clearly very experienced, loves animals, was very communicative and took great pics. Our kitties are normally really shy and she was able to get them to eat and come out. Very happy with Ericka and will hook again!”


“Lauren was fantastic with the animals and made sure they both got attention. She even went the extra mile with them, such as cleaning litter boxes and taking out the trash. I will definitely be using her again if available.”

About: I used to take care of my sister’s pets, when she needed the extra help a few years ago. I would take them out on walks, give them their food, and just give them some loving until she would come back from trips or work. I have a puppy and kitten of my own and love training them, and snuggling them! Excited to meet your pets! I currently am working part-time, so that gives me a lot of flexibility and time to be able to spend quality time with your pets. I have a friendly dog who would be able to keep your fur baby company, but I do have separate areas in case anyone needs space! I never leave my pets unsupervised, to make sure they don’t hurt themselves or break any furniture. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly and has an exercise area that is fenced! I would love to send as many updates of your pets,that you may need to help ease any worries.

“Jessica was AWESOME and came through for me on a short notice! She was punctual and sweet! Quick response and easy to communicate with! My pup was taken good care of and got the much needed exercise! Will continue to book with her!!!”


“Miguel was great with my puppy! We had a meet and greet beforehand which was a great idea. Everything was very smooth and he sent a lot of pictures and videos! He communicates very well and played so much with my puppy. It was so nice to see my puppy so happy ! :) Thank you Miguel!”


About: I have grown up with dogs and cats and have developed the deep love and understanding of pet care. I have learned how to recognize the subtle signs of an animals needs, which help me provide the best care possible. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know that their pets are in safe hands, which is why I always communicate regularly and provide updates. You can always count on me to show up and provide a nurturing environment. I am excited to extend care and attention to other furry friends! I am currently a student at the University of The Incarnate Word. I am typically available from 12 to 6 pm however, could also do very early in the morning. When I am caring for pets in a client’s home my priority is to create a safe, comfortable and trusting environment. I follow any specific instructions from the pet owner regarding food, exercise, and behavior, maintaining consistency to reduce any anxiety. I will always make sure that the pet has access to freshwater and plenty of affection. I focus on maintaining a calm and protective environment so both the pet and owner feel at ease knowing they are in trustworthy hands.

“Mel was seriously so amazing in taking care of my kitties Orca & Ellie. We are so grateful! Lots of attention to detail and that in itself translates to being so caring and loving to my babies. Thank you SO much!! We appreciate you!”


“Second time Olalys helped me with my cats and a neighborhood dog while I was on vacation. I felt very confident with my pets being in their care and am grateful for their help.”


“Angelica is the absolute best sitter we have had to take care of both my dog and cat. I can tell they adore her and she goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well taken care of.”


“Erin is AMAZING! She’s very reliable and all around a great pet sitter!! My cat Binx (who is sassy and cautious of other people) warmed up to her right away! My dog Romeo enjoyed their walks and couch cuddles! I will definitely have Erin watch Romeo&Binx again! :)”


About: I’ve been a devoted animal lover since childhood, practically growing up with a wagging tail and a purring chorus by my side. For over 15 years, my own dog was my shadow, my confidant, and my greatest teacher in unconditional love. It has been my proudest experience to had been his caretaker for so long, and in that time, I learned so much on how to keep him safe and happy. My experience goes beyond just my own pets —I’ve become the beloved “aunt” to all my friends’ and family’s pets, the one they trust to spoil, cuddle, and tend to their furry companions as if they were my own. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or singing silly songs to a curious cat, I make sure every pet feels safe, cherished, and just a little extra adored. When it comes to pets, I always make time—though my availability is limited. I know how much they mean to the people who love them, so I do my best to create a schedule that allows me to provide the care and attention they deserve. While I may not always have endless hours, the time I do have is filled with love, belly rubs, and plenty of tail wags. When I bought my house, my top priority was simple: “Will my dog be happy here?” With a large, fenced yard perfect for zoomies and sunbathing, I made sure they had a safe and joyful space for pets. But I also know that for many pets, there’s no place like their own cozy spot. That’s why I’m more than happy to care for them in their home if that’s what their owners prefer—because feeling safe, comfortable, and loved is what matters most.

About: I not only have two dogs and a cat myself back home, but I also have been dog and cat sitting in my community for nearly a decade. I’m a native Texan who isn’t scared of walking in this heat either! I am an archaeologist who has long breaks from work where I can dedicate days or weeks to pet sitting. I’m available week days and weekends with very flexible timing. Just like any other family member, your pets will be treated with the upmost care and respect. I am happy to provide their specialized care and keep them cared for until y’all come back home to them!

She is extremely responsible in maintaining her daily routines with her pets and shows them all the love and affection in the world.

Even with pets that she does not own, she is caring and compassionate with all animals she meets. I would trust her fully with any animal in the room.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Maria as a pet caregiver. She has taken care of our four furbabies with the kind of attention, love, and dedication that gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. Each of our dogs has their own unique personality and needs, and Maria has always gone above and beyond to care for them as if they were her own. We never have to worry when they’re with her!”


Ella B.
“Ella cared for our elderly dogs countless times while we traveled. While I asked her to visit twice per day, she often came three or four times per day to check on our old girls. Once I forgot to show her how to open our driveway gate, but Ella was undeterred! She climbed right over and got our girls their food, bathroom breaks, and scratches. Responsible, responsive, trustworthy, and kind - you won't worry one bit about your home or pets while they are in Ella's care!”
