Jennifer was awesome. My cat is not one to go to anyone he is quite aloof with strangers and she was able to pet him and give him love. She had the same effect on my dog who she met when she stopped by for the keys, he took to her immediately which is something he never does. She certainly is an animal person and I will contract her services again in the future and would definitely recommend her to anyone!

This is Katie’s first time taking care of our cat and she did an excellent job! She was always on time (even early), great at communicating, and my cat always seemed very happy in her updates! We will definitely be contacting her again for our next trip!

About: I’m a single mother working as a home health nurse. Who could use the extra income. I’m very reliable and very loving to animals. I know how to care for a furry friend, because they are like family and they mean so much to me. I feel like this is perfect for me because I’ll be able to spend more time with my daughter and be a better mother and to give her everything she ever needs and wants. I’m going to love your furry friend just as much as you do and more. I won’t hurt or disrespect you animal and I’ll be very interject with them. I hope I get to spend time with you babies and give them all the love. P

Clifton, Lufkin, TX, 75904

About: I have been in the dog world since I was 9 years old — I worked with shelter dogs with foster care, medical treatment, and dog training with dogs from puppies to senior age. I raised Toy Fox Terriers for dog shows (like you see on TV) and sports! I care for my two Toy Fox Terriers, one who is a show dog and sports dog and the other who is a service dog. I follow all of the guidelines and rules that pet clients give to me. I make sure that there’s no open doors without a leash on or a gated yard, no food or destructible items are left unattended, pay attention to schedules, and closely monitor for any health issues or concerns that might arise!

Kellie had great communication from beginning to end. She is dedicated and was great with Miss Kitty. And she was available last minute over the holiday. It was so nice to not worry about my fur baby while we were out of town. I would definitely recommend her for future stays.

About: Not only have been a pet owner for my whole life (cats and dogs both), many of my friends and family members have trusted me to provide care or pet sitting to their furry friends throughout the year a well because they know I genuinely enjoy animals and will care for them well. I have open and flexible scheduling opportunities as I am looking to work into full time pet-care, if you have a need, I can likely make it work any day or time. For in-home pet care, I am set up with a safe indoor environment for small dogs. At the moment I cannot care for large/outside dogs within my home but am happy to visit your home multiple times in a day to care for your animals.

Our neighbor's German Shepherd came to our yard through the hole he dug and started attacking my dogs when Ashley let them out to take a potty break. Ashley handled the situation perfectly and protected my four fur babies. She is always so communicative, reliable, responsible, and professional! We feel very lucky to have her!

I have so much love for them and see them as Gods gift to us. Bella has made me want to share my love for her with other animals as well :) I currently work full time at Memorial Hermann but on my days off I’d love to meet you and your pet! I can’t wait to show them the compassion and love that you show them daily! I will be in my apartment on my days off most of the day. I can crate your dog if need be and can provide emotional support while also giving them potty breaks and walking them as needed.

Diboll, TX, 75941

About: I have experience with police K9 trainers and aiding/assisting in the delivery of 2 separate litters of puppies. Ive pet sat for friends who have small dogs, large dogs, puppies, and cats. I’m willing to help with whatever your furry friend needs to live a happy healthy life! Currently working on going back to college full time, but that will not be until Spring. I have my own pets to care for so I’d like to stay home between the hours of 5pm to 7am. Other than that, I’m free whenever needed! If my client does not have a fenced in yard, I have no problem leashing and walking all sized dogs. (I have experience with horses so big dogs are no problem). If your dog needs enrichment I have no problem taking them on a trip to the dog park if that’s something my client is comfortable with. If medication is needed for your pet, I have no problem helping administer said medications. I’m very time oriented so medicine administration will not be missed. I can also insist in basic training (sit, lay down, stay, leave it, etc) if needed. I have no problem with high energy pets and will help with playtime/exercise to calm that energy.

I always enjoy Kathryn being around Marley, she is truly amazing on what she does. You can see the love she has for dogs. I was comfortable knowing that she will do a few drop ins with Marley while we were at Disneyland. I totally recommend her. Can’t wait for the next one, Marley loves you!

Jennifer was absolutely amazing with Lufkin! From the moment they started playing ball, it was clear he was having the time of his life. Lufkin definitely kept her on her toes with his dramatic running flips that gave her a few mini heart attacks—but that’s just part of his charm! 😂 Despite his antics, Jennifer handled everything with so much care, patience, and love. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Lufkin stayed happy, tired, and clearly adored. Best experience ever—Lufkin rates Jennifer a solid 100 out of 10!
