About: I’ve volunteered, fostered and transported animals with CAA/EBR shelter since 2012. Currently I’m volunteering at Barking Wishes, a senior dog sanctuary in Central. I have two rescue pups, 16 year old lab mix and 9 year old beagle mix. I’m recently retired and love spending time with animals. I’m recently retired so my schedule is open 7 days a week and most holidays. I’m willing to work with clients in order to care for their pet. I follow all instructions given by the owner. Depending on the client, I send at least 1 picture a day and give updates as requested.

About: I’ve always had cats and dogs since I could remember. I’ve trained and cared for many different pets. I was the designated dog sitter in my family! I only work part time so my schedule is pretty wide! I have animals myself so I know how to make time for fur babies. I have a large fenced in back yard and a dog of my own that loves other animals. I always keep my dog on a fixed harness and leash when walking.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for dogs and cats throughout my adult life, including beagles, miniature pinschers, German pinschers, and a variety of cats. Although I recently lost my beloved pets to old age and am not quite ready to adopt again, I deeply miss the companionship and joy animals bring. Pet sitting offers the perfect way for me to continue spending time with furry friends while helping others feel confident that their pets are in good hands. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and always punctual. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible. I am happy to visit a client's home to walk their pet and play with them at any time of the day. I am pleased to walk dogs and tend to their needs, such as medication or feeding. I’m also comfortable with cats as well. I do not currently offer in-home boarding.

About: Lauren and I have always had family pets since we were kids. As adults, we cared for our own pets and the pets of family and friends. We've cared for dogs of all sizes and ages and are aware of dietary restrictions that many pets have. We always ask questions to get to know you, your home, and your pets to ensure that we a re providing a safe, respectful sit for all involved. We live full time in a converted van that we've used to travel the US for the past year. We shoot media for music festivals and bounce from festival to festival! With the winter coming, we decided to settle down into our new favorite city. We can't wait to meet you and your pets! While caring for your pet, my wife and I will be home most of the day as we'll be working remotely. We are available for the majority of the day to attend to your pets needs including walks, play, snuggles, and feeding. We are used to morning and afternoon feeding and walks with dogs. We are typically up around 7 am so animals who are early risers are not a problem. If sitting in your home, know that we are clean, respectful, and recognize that we are guests in someone else's home and your home and animals will be treated as such.

I left for 3 weeks and needed a reliable, loving, caring person to take care of my two sweetheart fur babies who are about a medium size. Allison was always in touch about what was going on and gave thorough reports on how her visits went, which really helped me enjoy my vacation so much more. Allison quickly developed an outstanding relationship with Eli & Bagels to the point where they were wagging their tales anticipating her arrival! Could not be more pleased and appreciative for Allison! Would absolutely recommend her for any pets who are treated like sweet babies as I treat mine!!

About: I’ve always had dogs of my own learning responsibility at a young age. I used to work at a dog daycare and loved seeing their different personalities! Throughout the week this will be my full time job. I want to use my time to help others exercise their dogs. We can all admit sometimes it’s hard to take our lovable pets on daily walks and maintain their energy. I’m available to provide daily walks and check on your fur babies while you’re away! I have two large dogs at home that love their walks and car rides. I don’t think I can ever open a car door without them flying in right behind me. I’ve got a pretty good hold on their leash although if you have a large dog that pulls during walks I’d love to meet them before hand! I would rather stay away from dog parks to insure the safety of your pet avoiding any diseases or injuries. I have a fenced in yard and both my dogs have regular vet visits to insure the health of your dog in my yard.

About: Became a dog/cat bather for a grooming salon at the age of fifteen years old. I’ve had pets of all shapes and sizes and breeds my whole life. The maximum amount of animals I have taken care of has been 10 animals at once in my own home! Super familiar with tons of breeds and personalities of fur babies! I am a stay at home mother, so my schedule is super open and flexible! Great to do any sort of services at any time of day, or day of the week! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I walk my dogs on leashes every single day to go potty. My own animals are kennel trained, and very friendly. I live in the perfect neighborhood to take dogs on walks in!

About: I have been the go-to professional and friend for pet care and house-sitting for many. My goal is always to give your pet and home the same care and consideration I would my own. I have had pets since I can remember. My first pet was a jet black cat resembling the color of a raven. I learned and practiced numerous pet care tactics which allowed my cat to live a very fruitful life to 20 years old. I also had a delightful Bischon with a spunky personality that was always the life of the party. I am no stranger to large size or senior age pets, but am also well acquainted with service dogs. I have experience with pigs, fishes, snails, but my most favorite of all horses! I truly enjoy engaging with furry loved ones and giving them the tender care they obviously deserves! I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your fur baby lots of attentive care, playtime, and mental stimulation by providing activity throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard with ample space and love to go for strolls around the neighborhood and local parks. I love to play games and engage throughout the day.

Tenay is a skilled and enthusiastic dog walker who keeps in touch when caring for pets. She stayed with my pup for three days while I was out of town, and did a great job, even managing to get my "loves to nap" dog out for some long walks (which he needs). She sent photos and videos and I felt confident that he was Ok at all times.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was about 8. I love both dogs and cats. I walk my youngest dog almost everyday depending on the weather. I’m currently studying for a professional exam, so in between study hours I have tons of time to watch your fur babies run and play. I groom my youngest dog just about every night. Walk her twice a day. She gets breakfast and dinner and her bedtime is around 9 PM.

About: I’ll love and care for your baby as if it’s my own. I know how hard it is to find reliable pet care and be comfortable with it. I’m extremely picky on who I leave my baby with so I’ll make sure that they feel completely at home and that you fee comfortable leaving your fur baby with me! I absolutely love animals and would have an abundance of pets if I could. I have 3 kids, aged 12, 10 and 2 and I have an 8 month old Catahoula/ terrier mix. He’s great with other dogs and has no history of being aggressive with other animals. I am available if you need care on short notice also. Just shoot me a message and we can talk!! I am a stay at home mom and work part time on the weekends. So I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in back yard and a good neighborhood for walks! I always do everything in my power to make your pets feel safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, but I really gained hands on experience once I started college. I’m an Agricultural Science major on the pre-vet track at Southern University A&M College, so I’m around small animals and livestock almost every day. I also help care for the police and therapy dogs on campus through my internship, which has taught me a lot about behavior, patience, and safe handling. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me with their pets, and I treat every animal with the same care and attention I give the ones I work with at school. Majority of my classes are online this semester so pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and weekend care. I only care for pets in their own home. I actually prefer it because most pets feel safer and more relaxed in a space they already know. With my pre veterinary background, I pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and routine. I follow whatever schedule you already have in place and make sure they get the same care they are used to. I keep things calm, clean, and comforting so your pet feels secure while you are away. My goal is for you to feel at peace knowing your pet is being cared for by someone who truly understands animals and loves what they do.

About: I’m an assistant dog groomer who is around dogs pretty much all week. I could never get tired of how much joy they bring me just being themselves and making everyone’s day better by being the sweetest they can be. I’m just looking for something to do while I’m not needed at my job and I’m looking to start enjoying outside more. What could be better than to do that with a puppy? Quick checkups at home while they are unsupervised and maybe a walk, medication, food, whatever they need really. If anything is questionable or out of sorts I would alert the owner immediately.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Whenever family members or friends needed anyone to watch their dog I was the first person they’d call. I treat animals like people because they have feelings too. I’m currently looking for a new job so I'm free to do walks in the morning. I’m usually free in the evenings if ever needed to watch your pets at night. Whenever watching other people’s pet I usually ask how they want me to take care of them. Usually I try to keep my dog and the clients separated in the beginning.I’ll spend time with them equally then slowly work up to see how they do together. I usually walk Atticus around the neighborhood at the end of the day. I’ll walk him in the mornings and afternoon with him in the backyard.

About: I have cared for animals of my own for one 30 years or more. I also have taken care of my friends pets when they were traveling! This past January I lost my 16 year old Chihuahua. He had heart issues and went blind. I cared for and loved him to the end. I am a healer and found that energy given to animals creates trust, love and comfort! I am retired and have plenty of time to spend with fur babies! I do workout at the gym at least 3 mornings a week. I do want to pet sit in my home at this time. When owners are away the pets get lonely. I have a fenced yard to provide the safety of your animal.
