Ashley H.

About: My name is Toni and I am a Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine Alumna and I hold a Bachelor's and Master's in Veterinary Science. I am certified in Dog Behavior and Training, Animal Training and Pet Sitting, Animal Care, Veterinary Support, Animal Physical Therapy, and CPR. I've been working in pet care for 20 years and owned and cared for dogs, cats, rats, chinchillas, reptiles, lizards, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, amphibians, and birds my whole life. I'm experienced and always happy to meet new pets! I am well disciplined, experienced, and motivated. I can't wait to meet your pet, I work full-time at UTMB during the week but am very flexible with my time. Let me know what you need and I will try to make it work. I own 3 cats and 2 dogs myself, and foster for Lifelines of Galveston County. I provide attentive and loving care, ensuring pets have fresh food, clean water, regular exercise, and affection. I monitor their health, maintain a clean environment, and address their unique needs.

About: I have hands on experience with dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve raised a puppy from the early training stages through adulthood, giving me a strong understanding of routines, patience, and positive reinforcement. As a pet parent myself to three cats and one dog, I know how important it is to provide attentive, loving, and reliable care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible work schedule with my full time job and can meet the needs of your family. I am available during the weekdays and weekends. I respect their routines and environment to keep things as familiar and stress free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely and take the time to understand each pet’s personality and preferences. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are safe, happy, and treated like family while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for and raising dogs for over 10 years, and I currently have a rescue poodle named Zeke who I’ve had for 3 years. He’s spoiled with homemade meals, gets two walks a day, and plenty of playtime chasing balls. I treat every dog I care for like family—because that’s what they are. My goal isn’t just to walk your dog, but to make sure they have fun, feel safe, and enjoy their time out. I’m attentive, experienced, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether your pup is high-energy or needs gentle care, I’ll tailor the experience to what they need most. Currently, I’m in between jobs, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule to care for your pup throughout the week. I’m available most days, mornings or evenings—just not Sundays, as I observe the day for church and rest. Your dog will always get my full attention when they’re with me! When I walk your dog, their safety and happiness are my top priorities. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid high-traffic areas, and pay close attention to each dog’s pace, energy level, and comfort. Whether it’s a slow sniff-around-the-block or a playful, active walk, I tailor the experience to your pup’s needs and treat them like family every step of the way.

About: I have had many animals throughout my life. I have also cared for friends’ animals when they go out of town. Your fur babies will be well cared for with me! I am a stay at home mom to teenage boys, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am home all day most every day, so you can rest assured your pet is getting one on one attention every day of their stay! I have a fenced yard and a 9-pen boarding facility at my home. Each pen has access to a private, fenced potty area and your dog can either participate in group play or have private one-on-one play if they are more shy.

About: I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're part of my own family. I am a certified Vet Asst with a lifetime of pet experience. After years of caring for pets, I've learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels understood. I currently have 3 dogs and 8 cats, including a few fosters. Pet care is my full-time job, so I am available throughout the day. During each visit, your pet will get more than just the basics. They'll get attention, playtime, enrichment, and the care they're used to receiving at home. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I don't just see pets as another booking on my calendar. I see them as family members who deserve patience, attention, and care.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8 years old and have cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, from small to large dogs, and I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. My experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to animals, whether that means keeping up with an energetic dog, giving extra care to a shy pet, or maintaining a consistent routine. I truly enjoy being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m a full-time online college student, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and consistent care. As a single mom to a 9-month-old, I spend most of my time at home, so I’m already in a routine that supports being present, reliable, and responsive to pets’ needs throughout the day. Pet sitting and drop-ins align well with my lifestyle, allowing me to balance school, parenting, and caring for animals without conflicting with a traditional work schedule. I’m able to incorporate feeding, playtime, litter care, and companionship into my day while maintaining a calm and structured environment. This also gives me the opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals—while earning income in a way that fits my current responsibilities. I take the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet very seriously. I follow each client’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, litter care, medication if needed, and any specific care guidelines. I approach each pet with patience and respect, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect. I keep spaces clean and tidy, follow all house rules, and ensure doors, gates, and entry points are securely handled. I am mindful of security and privacy at all times, and I leave the home as I found it or better. My goal is to provide reliable, trustworthy care so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

I know being away from your pet can be anxiety educing, so whatever you need to feel comfortable, I want to help.
