House Sitting in Brownsville

“Our kitty got sick while we were gone. A person’s worst fear. Wendy gave her loving care like the pro she is. We can’t speak highly enough of her!”

“Lauren stayed with my cat and dog for two weeks and they loved her! Jasper looked for her in the house after she left- he misses her! They stayed busy and active and I received a lot of pictures and updates. Lauren is incredibly thoughtful and conscientious. Knowing she was here with the babes gave me such peace of mind on my trip. She is amazing!”

“Kayla is great with all of my critters. She is super conscientious and reliable. I always feel confident that my babies will be well cared for and happy in her care.”

“Kelly is absolutely amazing! She cared for our pets and home during a family trip to Ireland. I was very nervous about leaving our dog as she can get a little anxious around people outside of our family, but Kelly put my mind at ease during our pre-trip “meet and greet.” She was kind and nurturing in her interactions with our pets and very thorough in her questions about their routines and care. My husband and I had been planning this trip with our family for two years and knowing that our furry family members would be well-cared for in our absence was a huge stress relief! While we were away, Kelly sent us daily updates and photos which clearly showed that our pets were happy and content. She also went above and beyond in caring for our home and I am pretty sure the guest bedroom was cleaner when we got back than when we left. I cannot recommend her highly enough - it felt like we had a trusted family friend caring for our pets and home.”

About: Caring for animals has also been a significant part of my life. I have cared for my family's pets since I was a little girl, feeding, watering, giving them treats, playing with them, and cleaning up after dogs and cats. For at least three years, I helped my neighbor’s dogs by letting them out, feeding and watering them, practicing their tricks during treat time, and caring for their puppy. I love getting the opportunity to help with and spend time with animals! I am currently a college student and am not available until after 4pm on Thursdays. I am free for walks, sitting, and check-ins after 4pm on thursdays, and anytime in the day every other day of the week, unless otherwise stated in my calendar. For house/pet sitting, I am able to do so any day of the week! My biggest priority is to care for the pets however the owner wants me to. I let them out to potty, give them food, water, and treats, play with them, lay with them when they are feeling snuggly, and go for a walk with dogs. I always respect the pets and their home.

“Brandy stayed with our pets for 8 days while we were on vacation. She was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and kind. She worked with our high energy dog on commands and training, which Basil really loves! She also took her for daily walks and offered her plenty of exercise. Brandy checked in with us daily with photos and updates about her care. She took care of our plants and made sure our hens were healthy and happy. She clearly went out of her way to give the best possible care- I cannot recommend her enough!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the care that MaKenna gave to our fur babies while away on an overseas trip. She always checked in daily letting us know how they were doing and sent photos which always made it easier on us while we were away. She went above and beyond leaving our home spotless too. My GSD has a very sensitive GI and she followed her diet regimen to a T. I highly recommend her to watch and care for your fur babies. Thank you, MaKenna!!!”

About: I am an animal lover, I only have 2 pets in my home right now, but I would have a cat rescue if I was able. Experience with all ages of pets. My schedule is flexible as I work from home. I prefer to walk in the morning or evening, to avoid heat stress, but I am able to work around your schedule I have an 8yr old St. Benard who is a gental giant and a 8ish year old cat that's my baby. A fenced large yard.

“Rachel is fantastic! She responded quickly from my first inquiry. We have two large and overly friendly spoiled rotten labs. She is experienced with large dogs and is able to walk them with ease! She gives them lots of attention. One of our dogs is needy and a bit anxious and he is very comfortable with her. She sends updates and pics to relieve my anxiety too! Highly recommend Rachel!!!”

“Jennifer was professional and an excellent caregiver for my pets. My dog, who can be standoffish, allowed Jenn to rub her belly and chest, a sure sign of trust. Also, my skittish cat came out to play with Jenn and that only usualy happens with close family members. Two of my pets take meds and Jenn did this with no issue. I will happily ask her back to care for my pets and house.”

“Paula was so great with our pup. From the minute we met her, we knew she would be a great fit. She was polite, responsive, and sent great photos and videos of our dog while we were away. She was respectful of our home and flexible when our plans changed slightly. Highly recommend. We’ve already booked her for second weekend!”

About: Animals have always been a passion of mine. I am highly knowledgeable about dog care, behavior, and overall well-being. I have experience helping whelp puppies and have cared for and trained dogs throughout every stage of life, from puppies to seniors. I currently have a senior dog myself, giving me firsthand experience with the special attention older pets need. In addition to dogs, I have farm experience caring for horses, pigs, chickens, and other animals. I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same love and attention I give my own animals. Let’s plan a day for me to come do a meet and greet :) I currently work full time, but I am transitioning to part-time in the near future to dedicate even more time to pet care. Until then, I am available on weekends and am committed to providing dependable, attentive care to every pet I look after. As my schedule becomes more flexible, I look forward to expanding my availability and spending even more time doing what I love most—caring for animals. Pet care is a true passion of mine, and I am dedicated to making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I strive to provide a calm, loving, and stress-free environment, caring for pets in the comfort of their own home. I understand that many pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, and I am committed to maintaining their routines and giving them the individualized attention they deserve. With experience caring for animals of all ages, I am attentive, patient, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Building trust with both pets and their owners is incredibly important to me, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and compassionate.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small for 8 years. I have some experience training puppies and adult dogs as well. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, over all take great care of their furry friends for weeks before. I have always had a love for furbabies, I always volunteered at the rescue shelters as much as I could. Im currently enrolled in college, however after class hours and in between I spend all my time taking care of my fur babies at home. I am not currently working which gives me plenty of time to play and care for your loved pups/kitties. I have a big yard and 2 playful pups to keep your furry friends company. I have a couple crates so that if needed they can have down time away from each other to ensure I can prioritize the care given to your loved ones.

“Megan sat for our dog for 2 weeks and she kept us up to date and how our dog was doing. She will be our sitter from now on. She’s one of the best that we had.”

About: I have cared for dogs for about 10 years now since having my own when I was a kid and constantly being around them and entertaining them to the fullest and ensuring they are happy, healthy and comfortable as their lives go on. All of the duties being walking, feeding, playing, and entertaining the dog throughout the whole day. I am skilled with being patient, kind, assertive and playful with each and every type of dog. I work full-time at a 24hr vet hospital so I am constantly around dogs & cats! My schedule is Tuesday-Friday so I will be fully available on Saturday-Mondays! I hope to get the opportunity to meet your fur babies! :) I’m currently working full-time, Tuesday-Fridays & am available on Saturday-Monday throughout the day! I work at a vet hospital & have 1 dog of my own so I am constantly around pups all day long! I am the one who is mainly feeding, picking up after, playing & walking my dog. I enjoy relaxing and just simply hanging out with her as well!

“Hannah did a great job! My dogs Lilly and Tiger loved her! Thank you Hannah!”

About: At this point in my life, I have cared for almost any domestic, exotic or farm animal that one can run into! Time spent working with snakes and spiders in a reptile shop, working on farms with cattle, goats and chickens, and caring for everyones furry companions like cats, dogs and rodents in homes has left me feeling well prepared to handle whatever critters come our way. My remaining pet is Sharkbait, a 9 year old heeler mix, who has been the everywhere and everything dog with me for the last 8+ years. She has met all of the above animals in her time and is the ultimate friend to all. As a retired service animal, she is kind and intuitive while responding calmly to reactive animals she meets. This makes her the perfect travel companion and buddy for all your babies and she will always be with me on sitting and walking jobs as she and I like to stay very active, walking anywhere from 2-6 miles daily together. Lets chat about your animals specific needs and background! Being active is a huge part of my day and I love making sure your animals are included in that! Walks to the park and jogs around the block are my favorite way to keep your pets focus while expending that pent up energy. For homebody pets I love a good puzzle or snuffle toy to keep their minds working in their safe space. Meet and greets together as a family are priority so that when you're out of town or at work, your pet(s) can trust Sharkbait and I are there to support them. Any candid tips and tricks around behaviors or routines are welcomed.

“Manika is the best! She was super attentive and is a real natural with pets. Her communication was always prompt and responsive, and she and my dog became fast friends. She left the house in pristine condition -- even cleaner than I'd left it! I will not hesitate to hire her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Jaedyn, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets. Growing up, my family fostered over 10 dogs over the years, which gave me experience with different breeds, temperaments, and care needs from an early age. I’ve also cared for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, and other small animals throughout my life. One of my biggest passions was raising, breeding, and showing rabbits through 4-H, where I learned the importance of consistent care, attention to health, and understanding animal behavior. I currently volunteer part-time in a psychology research lab, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My schedule is very flexible. I currently volunteer part-time in a psychology research lab, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. Because I have a flexible routine, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of companionship. I aim to provide pets with consistency and attention so they can stay comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before care begins. Whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, or behavioral quirks, I believe clear communication helps create the best experience for everyone. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved pet. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Having cared for animals my entire life—from foster dogs to rabbits, cats, and small pets—I’m comfortable adapting to a wide variety of temperaments and care needs. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where your pet can feel secure and loved.
