House Sitting in Bertram

“Jessica took very good care of my boys while I was out of the state for several weeks. I’ve never been away from them for so long before so I was very nervous but after a few days of checking on them and getting pictures, I knew they were in good hands with Jessica.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was ten. I have always had both in my household. I have experience caring for puppies and older dogs alike, as well as kittens and adult cats. I’m currently working part-time to focus on my academics. I’m a full-time student at Texas A&M, but am eager to fit in work whenever I’m available! Though my schedule fluctuates throughout the year, I’m currently available everyday after 2pm. Tuesdays can vary, but I’m usually flexible! I’ve watched pets in client’s households over intermediate periods of time on numerous occasions. I am comfortable crating, walking, and feeding (including special dietary needs), as well as other household tasks such as collecting mail, basic housekeeping, and plant care.

“Mira was marvelous! She loved on my pets and cared for my home that exceeded my expectations. She communicated well and put my mind at ease while we were on vacation. So glad to have found her!”

“Errin was amazing from start to finish. She came over before we left for our trip twice just to let our pups get familiar with her. She kept us updated everyday we were gone with pictures and meal updates. We felt extremely comfortable letting her stay in our home overnight for the week and would absolutely use her again for our non-pup travels. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Mandy went above and beyond for us. We contacted her to pet sit last minute, after another Rover sitter canceled 12 hours before we left for an international trip. She was understanding, accommodating, and so sweet with our pets. We would not hesitate to hire her again. Thank you, you’re the best Mandy!!”

“Kayla is wonderful blueberry and peaches absolutely loved her. She she was very careful and paid attention to all the little details that had to do with our fur babies. She treated them special and liked her own, gave them lots of loving which they really needed because they have been through some things lately. We just appreciate her so much. She is definitely an asset to this service. She’s also very understanding about any little changes, and kept our house nice and tidy for our return, which was super awesome.”

Starlo B.

“So happy Erin was available to watch my babies! She is patient and kind . My dogs can behave like gangsters when they are around someone new. Erin won them over and they have made a new friend. I’m grateful she was here for us.”

I’ve worked with pets of all temperaments—whether they’re energetic and playful or more reserved—and I’m comfortable providing care for animals with special needs or medical conditions. In addition to my veterinary experience, I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for clients who visit our veterinary hospital, which has given me the opportunity to care for a variety of fur babies in their own homes. I also have experience with exotic animals, having worked at a botanical garden where I cared for a wide range of species. From reptiles to birds and small mammals, I’m familiar with the unique needs and care requirements of different types of animals. Whether you have a cat, dog, or exotic pet, I am fully prepared to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re away. I have my own fur babies, so I truly understand the trust and love that goes into finding someone to care for your pets.

I offer flexible and open availability for all your pet sitting needs! Whether you need someone for a few hours, overnight stays, or extended care, I am happy to accommodate. As a pet lover with a background in veterinary medicine, I prioritize the well-being of your pets and can be available on short notice. My schedule is open to fit your needs, so feel free to reach out for any day or time that works best for you and your fur babies! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

I believe that safety and trust are the foundation of great pet care. I’ll make sure your pet is always secure in their surroundings, keeping doors and gates closed, providing supervision during outdoor time, and ensuring they are never left alone in unsafe situations. I also make sure to follow any special instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained while you’re away, from feeding times to favorite toys or special cuddles. I treat your home as I would my own, respecting your space and keeping everything neat and tidy. I also offer updates and check-ins to keep you informed and help ease your mind while you’re away. With my experience and genuine love for animals, you can trust that your pet is in the best hands, enjoying their time at home while you’re gone.

About: I've been working as a dog groomer for the past two years, but had to pause that to focus on my health. I've volunteered walking dogs in animal shelters, and as a child mucked horse barns and brushed/washed horses in exchange for riding lessons. 😂 I've loved animals my entire life. I was raised in a family of 2-6 dogs (it increased frequently) and will admit only here that I loved them more than I loved my sister! I'm currently coming out of treatment and unemployed, so I have plenty of time to watch your furry friends! My only obligations are a weekly monday appointment and a biweekly friday appointment. I have a very nice, soft voice for any frightened pups, and am told I'm a bit of an animal whisperer. I will do my very best to connect with your animals and individualize my care in any way I can!

“Always love being able to leave and know my dogs are in the absolute best hands! If we are able to book with Madchen, we always do. Our dogs truly love her and our home is always tidier than when we left, which is such a blessing. We’re so thankful to have found Madchen!”

“Treka was fantastic with our dogs this weekend. She was really responsive and did a great job with all three of them. We appreciated having her stay at our house, she was very respectful of everything and even went above and beyond to bring in some packages in case of rain. We were very grateful Treka was able to watch our dogs for us.”

“Bonnie is very experienced and did an excellent job at taking care of my dog and her puppies for the day. She sent photos and updates which was appreciated. My dog loved her right away. Would definitely book with Bonnie again!”

About: My family has owned hunting dogs for years, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels. I’ve helped with training, reinforcing good behavior, daily walks, exercise, feeding, and plenty of affection. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and safety when caring for pets. Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures or just wants extra cuddles and attention, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available at almost any time, as I don’t start school until August! I can stay over night on most weekends, but just check with me to be sure! I have a portable crate that can take small-medium dogs or cats on adventures! I can do walks, clean up, playtime, sleepovers and lots of cuddles!

“Ella did such a great job - she watched our dog on short notice and was very responsive and kind the whole weekend. Will definitely reach out again in the future because we came home to a clean house and happy pup!”

About: I started as a little kid taking care of my family dogs.As I got older I watched my grandparents dogs over night.Now I have dog name Summer "Animals aren't just a job for me – they're my entire world! Every day is an adventure filled with wagging tails, purring companions, and the joy of understanding what makes our furry friends tick. My home is often buzzing with happy pets, and I truly believe that living alongside them teaches us so much. This daily immersion in the world of pets means I bring not just experience, but a deep, personal understanding and endless patience to every animal I care for." "When I'm caring for your pets in your home, their safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. I'm meticulous about following your specific instructions, maintaining routines, and ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for your furry family members. You can trust me to treat your home with the utmost respect and to provide vigilant, loving care so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away."

“This was our first visit with Billy. I gave a long list of concerns about our 95lb coonhound and Huskypoo that likes to run away. He came back to walk the dogs later that night and walked into a mess that our pups had created. I'll spare the details, but Billy promptly contacted me that he had 3 dead chickens to clean up (2 inside the house). He didn't call me freaking out, and in turn I would freak out. He text me the info and we talked. He asked for a broom to clean them up. A BROOM?? Billy went went wayyy over the top for us and cleaned up and removed 3 dead chickens before we even got home. I've got a ton of respect for the way he handled the situation and our pups. Needless to say, Billy is our dude now. Thanks, Billy!”

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, growing up in a home full of pets, which sparked my passion for caring for them. I spent four years working in the veterinary field, gaining hands-on experience and deepening my love for animal care. During that time, I worked as a kennel technician for two years and as a veterinary technician assistant for another two years, providing attentive, compassionate care to pets of all shapes and sizes. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me plenty of free time during the week to dedicate to pet care. I’m able to provide consistent attention, companionship, and care for pets on a regular basis, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a friendly 7-year-old dog who loves companionship and playtime! I also have a huge fenced yard, perfect for pets to safely run and enjoy the outdoors.
