“We booked a house sit with Lexi in the past and were so glad she was available again this weekend to take care of our home and our two dogs. The house was clean when we returned, the dogs were well taken care of, and she communicated often while we were away. We'll happily reach out to her again in the future!”


“Awesome fur baby care!! Brittany and her sister took great care of our two large labradoodles while we were away. Highly recommend!! So happy we found them here in CS!”


About: I have experience in taking care of many types of animals including livestock! Not only am I familiar with horses and chickens, I have also been responsible for tending to the medical needs of pets. These medical needs include receiving oral medication, topical treatments, protective wrappings, and assistance with mobility. Besides at-home care, I enjoy dog walking and regularly walk my own dog two miles. Currently, I am working as an intern so weekends and afternoons on weekdays work best. By Mid-August, I will be a student in College Station and will update accordingly. I intend to care for pets by the instructions specified by the client. Your pets are your family, so their safety and health are my priority.

About: From couch-cuddling cats to hay-loving horses, I’ve cared for animals big and small my whole life! I’ve helped diabetic pets, senior pups with arthritis, and even hand-fed guinea pigs and bunnies. Whether it’s belly rubs, insulin shots, or watering your plants while you’re away, I’ve got it covered — with lots of love and care every step of the way. Your pets are family, and I treat them like it! Pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule! I work part-time at my local H-E-B, so I’m available most mornings before my shift and fully free in the evenings after 5:30 — perfect for dinner-time walks, playtime, or even a late trip to the dog park. On my days off, I love spending time outside and can take your pup for a fun park adventure. My schedule is super flexible, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority! Whether I’m in your home or they’re staying with me, I create a calm, secure environment where they can feel relaxed and loved. I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible — including feeding times, walks, play, and any medications they may need. I always keep a clean space, never leave pets unattended outdoors, and make sure they have plenty of fresh water, love, and attention. You can count on me to treat your pets like family and your home with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: I have had dogs and other small animals since childhood. I also have a background in emergency medicine that can come in handy. I’m also currently working from home and have an extremely flexible schedule I work part time from home or can take my work with me. Making it easy to walk dogs and spend time with them throughout the day. I usually get in 3-5 miles daily. Making it easy to get dogs exercised. I have a fenced yard with one dog who is an incredible “host”. Not minding company. I also have the ability to rotate animals safely inside and out of the home if they are not happy together.

“Ashley was amazing, she watched my cat Phoebe at home for me and kept her happy and active. She also left a postcard and new toy before leaving which was super sweet. Would definitely book again.”


“Katalina was absolutely amazing with our two chihuahuas, Maci and Moose. She stayed in our home for six days and followed every part of our (very detailed) care plan exactly as we asked. Maci is our older dog with some allergy needs and Moose is a 4-month-old puppy who needs close supervision and structure, and Katalina handled both of them with patience, care, and attention. She kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a clean house, a happy puppy, and a very content Maci. It was clear both dogs were well cared for and loved throughout the entire stay. We would absolutely invite Katalina back in the future. She is responsible, trustworthy, and truly cared for our dogs as if they were her own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter.”


About: I have taken care of many cats included barn cats. I had a cat in college with my roommates that we picked up as a stray! Pet care is just part of my everyday life. I work Monday through Friday 8–5, but before work my dogs always get to run and play outside to start their day. After work, we go for a walk every evening and spend time playing, training, or just relaxing together. On weekends I have more flexibility, so we get extra time outdoors and lots of snuggles inside. I also keep up with the little things each week—like brushing, washing bowls, and freshening up bedding—so they stay happy and comfortable. Caring for my pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’d love to give your pets the same love and routine that I give mine. I have two female dogs who love to run, play fetch, and play in the water. They do sleep in kennels at night. They are energetic and would love to play with your pup!


About: I currently have a flexible job right now and would love to supplement my income by being around dogs! I love to run and enjoy keeping dogs entertained! I've had dogs my entire life, so I am comfortable with all sizes and demeanors. You can bet that I'll be exploring some trails with my newly befriended K9 companions! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I am more than open about anything you need to know! Flexible schedule, early mornings, and some weekend hours are all open to me. I will travel farther than my 20mile zone if its the right situation. Thanks for taking the time to read my profile, hopefully we can make this work! Cheers and have a good day! The ability to step away and go spend quality time with animals helps balance out my perspective on life’s constant grind. I treat them all with equal respect for the help they provide me in return. I respectfully acknowledge that for home sitting I am entering their space. I stick to the rituals and routines that are already established. Additionally, I provide attention to any companionship they require like walks, fetch, belly rubs; all the fun activities they enjoy!

About: Hi there! I’m Jailee, and I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from my own pets to those of friends, family, and clients.

Whether your dog stays here with me or take care of your dogs at your house, they will be treated just like my own. I am retired so I take my 2 year old black lab to the dog park off University Drive every day for upwards of 4 hours weather permitting so he can receive the necessary playtime and mental stimulation. My dog understands basic obedience commands and is has short training sessions daily for mental stimulation. Furthermore, he is crate trained as well and well socialized.

Jailee G.
“As Jailee G.’s father, I’ve had the honor of watching her grow into one of the most compassionate, responsible, and driven young women I know—especially when it comes to animals. Jailee is currently a sophomore at Texas A&M University, pursuing her degree in veterinary medicine, a calling she’s been passionate about since childhood. What sets her apart is not just her love for animals, but her hands-on experience—she’s been working as a veterinary technician assistant and veterinary technician since she was just 14 years old. Now at 19, she brings over five years of real-world experience, along with a deep sense of care and professionalism, to every pet she works with. Whether she’s comforting a nervous pup, caring for a senior dog, or simply making sure a pet gets their daily exercise and affection, Jailee approaches every animal with kindness, patience, and knowledge. I’ve watched her rearrange her own schedule just to make sure a pet wasn’t alone or missed a walk. She has a calm, nurturing presence that animals gravitate toward and a strong work ethic that makes her incredibly dependable. Pet parents can have complete confidence knowing their furry family members are in loving, capable, and experienced hands with Jailee. I couldn’t be prouder to recommend her. — John G. (Proud Dad)”


Paul B.
“I have a sweet baby boy named Ryder that Paul has watched multiple times. Ryder and Blaze absolutely love to play together and I love the pictures I get. Ryder always gets super excited and hyped when he realizes he is going to “Uncle” Paul’s. I couldn’t recommend a sitter more (like fr book with him) and I’m so grateful I’ve found him. I usually get nervous but everything is always smooth, and Paul understands my worries.”
