House Sitting in Bay City

“Destiny and Marcus did a wonderful job taking care of my 4 animals while I went on vacation from a week. I recommend them to anyone who wants to have their animals cared for properly. Open communication is key with any sitter and they were amazing at listening and making my animals feel comfortable with them. I book with Destiny often whenever I need extra help walking my dog Lil’Heaven.”

About: Howdy! I'm Emily, an experienced animal caregiver living in a rural Texas community. At home, I currently care for two dogs, a cat, and a flock of chickens, so looking after animals is already part of my everyday routine. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person you leave your pets with. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away - basically stepping in as the "mom while mom is away." Animals have their own personalities and routines, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free for them. Whether that means playtime, a walk, sticking to feeding schedules, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I'm calm, dependable, and not easily rattled. I take animal care seriously, and I understand that pets are family. You can expect clear communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you know your pets are doing well while you're gone. Since I already care for multiple animals at home, I'm comfortable with a variety of temperaments and needs. From energetic dogs and independent cats: If they need patience, routine, or just a little extra lovin', I'm happy to provide it! I am available for visits, drop-ins, and walks from 7 A.M. - 7 P.M. Weekdays (excluding Tuesdays) and Weekends. While I may leave between visits to tend to my own pets or other clients, I make sure your pets receive reliable care, attention, and updates during each visit! Your pet's safety and comfort are of utmost priority. I always follow the care instructions you leave for your pets so they can stick to the routine they're used to. Because I care for my own animals at home, I understand how important it is to be attentive and responsible when someone else is caring for your pets. I keep a close eye on behavior, surroundings, and anything that might affect their well-being. If I ever notice something unusual or have a question, I won't hesitate to reach out. I believe good communication is part of good pet care, and I'd rather check in than make assumptions. I like to balance fun and affection with attentiveness. Pets should feel relaxed and loved, but also safe and supervised!

About: From a young age I loved being around animals, I started out helping my mom since she is a wildlife rehabilitation rescuer. I worked as a Veterinary Technician with small and large animal, and have been working as a receptionist in Veterinary Clinics for 7 years now. Animals bring a happiness to me that is indescribable and if you hire me as your pet sitter I promise that your fur babies will become a part of my family! I will treat them as my own, if you’d like to book please let me know. I like to do meet and greets before I do the job to meet your fur babies, you, and make sure that I have an understanding of the routine to best take care of them while your away! I am currently not working so I am doing pet sitting full time, I can pretty much do any date or time. Just let me know what works best for you. For pet sitting, I would do so in the comfort of your own home and where your pet feels the safest. I do not have a fenced in yard, so to make sure that the pet care is safe I feel it is best to provide it in your home.

About: I’ve had experience with many animals of different species for many years and can take care of all needs. I was a dog trainer and certified in dog and small animal wellness. I am currently a pet care specialist and do all that I can for all and their pets. I also have a degree in environmental science and pet wellness. I also like to applaud myself for customer service skills and being personable with everyone I meet. I will talk to you like I’ve known you forever and I strive to be someone those can be comfortable around. 😊 As a pet care specialist and pet owner myself, my schedule ranges from 8-9 am for spot cleaning and feeding, then around 12 I do pet checks, and around 5-6 is when I do final checks. For dogs, it follows the same structure with added enrichment and outside time in between. I have one dog and one puppy who spend time mostly outside and come in for breaks and food/snacks. I have a cat who eats twice a day and will occasionally be put in his stroller to go outside and enjoy the fresh air lol. And I have 2 guinea pigs who eat twice a day and will come out of their cage for enrichment and play time.

Safety is our first priority.

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life as I’ve always owned them. They truly are my best friend. I love them and they deserve the best care! I’m currently doing mostly just side gigs which gives me a lot of availability to be free through the week! I plan to do it as much as possible! They are treated just as humans are! Growing up they went on all of our trips with us and were always treated very well! It’s a blast having them!

About: I’ve take care of animals cats, dogs, bunnies, lizards etc since I was about 8. I loved babysitting for my neighbors and taking care of my animals. I’m currently working part time! I am available many different hours of the day, very excited to spend some down time with many pups and cats!! I love to treat my cat with some treats. I have one animal caging isn’t needed for him, he’s not aggressive very sweet and loving. I’m currently working part time, and is available mostly any day of time. I’ve very excited to need all the animals pups cats etc, so that I can share my love! I have one friendly cat I do not have fenced gates. However, the anima will be safe with me. I do live in an apartment.

“Thank you Hannah for taking care of our puppies while we were out of state. Was a short notice but Hannah still took care of our babies’ needs and kept us updated”

About: I have always loved pets. I have often pet sat for my friends or family. I owned my first dog at 13. I trained her myself as well as groom her myself. I would consider her my baby. Training my own dog has given me a better understanding of them and a greater respect for them. I recently adopted a new big puppy which has better equipped me for caring for dog's with various personalities since she required much different training than my older little dog. I enjoy getting to know pets with different personalities and loving on them. If you trust me with your pet, I will treat him/her as my own. Pet sitting works great with my schedule because I am a full time teacher so I have all summer to love on your pet while you are away. I am fully able to stay at your house if need be to pet sit. My roommate takes care of my two fur babies while I am away. Also, I am able to bring your pet to my apartment with my two dogs who love other animals. My apartment is next to a big park and has a huge dog park for exercise. I am flexible with the needs of my clients.

About: I've been dog-sitting family pets for years and have really enjoyed sitting cats and dogs on Trusted Housesitters. I love spending evenings in with furballs. I work remotely so I'm home all day. It's the ideal setup if you have pets that are used to having a human around throughout the day! Please get in touch to meet in person before booking! I like to visit with pets before doing sits to make sure they're comfortable with me before a stay. I am a fully remote worker, so when pets come stay with me, they won't have to be alone unless I need to run to the grocery store. I get up around 8 but can be up earlier if pets need to go out. My lunch break is flexible but usually around 12, and then I'm out of work around 6. I have no other pets while I'm sitting. There are no sidewalks in my area, so I can't take dogs on walks. I do have a fenced in backyard with enough space to play fetch--that'd be ideal for exercise!

“Wendy took great care of Layla and my home. She was communicative and I came home to a happy dog.”

About: From high-energy dogs to shy cats and senior pets, I adapt my care style to each animal’s unique needs. I’m proactive about leash control, home security, medication schedules, and recognizing early signs of discomfort or illness. As an audio engineer, I’m used to structured prep, attention to detail, and responsibility during live or studio work. Pet care slides right into that mindset. Feeding schedules, litter maintenance, medication timing, and check-ins are like session call times— I plan them, no excuses. My instinct to monitor levels and notice subtle changes translates perfectly to noticing shifts in a cat’s behavior, appetite, or mood. I care for pets with calm focus, consistency, and genuine respect for their routines. I’m attentive to the small details—behavior, appetite, comfort, and mood—so nothing goes unnoticed. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, while tailoring each visit to the individual pet’s needs and personality. I create a steady, stress-free experience where pets feel secure and owners feel complete peace of mind.

“Jalynn is wonderful! It was our first time having her pet sit and it was a long assignment almost two weeks over the Christmas holidays. She was so flexible and helpful and the pets were happy and well cared for. We are already planning to have her for our next vacation!”
