“Harlie is amazing. I got some not so great news about my older dog the morning before I went out of town and Harlie has been supportive, communicative and attentive to my girl. She is wonderful! 10/10 recommend. And I am a picky dog mom.”
“Heather did an outstanding job taking care of our three dogs! She communicated with us daily, sending updates and pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Heather went above and beyond by also doing laundry and washing dishes. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Kimberly was great! She took excellent care of my pit bull. She was responsive and sent photos and updates just as I asked. I’ll definitely trust Kimberly again to watch my dog!”
“McKenzie took great care of my pets. I had been having a problem with my little poodle having digestive upset when I was away. I decided to try having someone stay at my house rather than coming twice a day. It worked - Bunny did not develop any problems and I am thankful to McKenzie for the companionship she provided!”
“JB does a wonderful job staying with our dog, Maddie. This was our second booking and it looked to be a playful week with a new adventure to the dog park. Our house was super clean when we arrived home, which was an added bonus. Definitely recommend and give 5 stars!”
“Hailey was amazing with our six wonderful dogs. She played in the pool with the three who just loves the pool and playing catch ! Lobo our husky just loves her and Sage enjoyed her company ! Will have her over again very soon.”
“Samuel is amazing. He took such good care of my babies and he was also able to do another day for us with short notice. I highly recommend him!”
About: i’ve been around animals my entire life, so it makes sense why i’d have so much experience and knowledge on caring for dogs and pets of any sort really. I’m currently available all throughout the week except thursday afternoons, i think this would fit my schedule best since i have a part time job Really there’s nothing much to it, if i’m in a clients home i simply follow and and all directions that were put out for me and follow all rules depending on the client and what there comfortable with. i’m very easy going and easy to talk to
“Lamaris always does a wonderful job with my pups, and always leaves the home clean and my dogs happy. He is great at responding to messages and following instructions. Would highly recommend!”
“Super friendly person and quick with her responses. I definitely feel like my cat is safe with her & I’m comfortable with her in my home while I’m gone. I’ll definitely be booking again :) !!!”
“Jasmine was very friendly and kind and did a great job keeping our dog and house sitting. I could tell from my dog’s body language when I came home that she felt safe and happy with Jasmine.”
About: I've taken care of dogs on and off my whole life. I love dogs and once had a beautiful Samoyed with one blue and brown eye. I'm currently working part - time so I'd have plenty of time for spending time with and taking care of animals. I'm pretty flexible and would enjoy it immensely. I would follow any instructions for your pet whether it be walking, playing, feeding or administering any medicine your fur baby might need as well as lots of love.
“Honey was absolutely amazing! She kept me informed and sent so many photos of our fur baby. She stayed only one day but we will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hi, My name is Dan, and I love animals. I have over 30 yrs. Of experience with cats, dogs, horses and rabbits, as I grew up on a farm. I am available to walk your dogs, feed your dogs, cats, or other animals, etc, on short term notice. I am patient, attentive, and if you are going to be gone, I ask that you book my services for twice a day. I am also willing to possibly house sit, as long as you understand that my own furry children would be coming along with me. I did grow up on a farm, the only animals I really don't feel comfortable with are rats or snakes. If I don't accept a booking, it is most likely due to a scheduling conflict or personality differences. Animals are just like people. It is stressful enough for them meeting new people, so if they or I look uncomfortable, I'd rather not accept the booking. I am non confrontational and it's never anything personal. Dog Walking: If you book for me to walk your dogs, please know that I can only handle one large, two medium, or three small dogs at the same time. I also do not mix multiple clients, so if I am walking your dog (s), then I am walking your dog (s)! Drop In Visits: Some people prefer twice a day, others once. I am willing to do either, provided that the cat (s)/ dog (s) in question have plenty of dry food, water, etc, available at all times. House sitting: Yes, I am available for house sitting! If you only need me for one night, I am available at the last minute for those who are in Lubbock, Texas. If you need me for more than 1 night, I will need a separate bedroom where I can keep my own two girls. As much as I love what I do, and would love to help you out, I can't just leave my own girls behind. My cats are house broken, fixed, and have traveled with me many times in the past. For extended stays of more than 5 days, I am willing to travel further than just here in Lubbock. There is no additional charge for extra animals on house sitting. I have my own two cats who take up all my time when I'm not out taking care of other people's animals, or otherwise working. I'm self employed so I can set my own schedule, as I do this and other gig jobs right now. The only time I'm usually not available is if I have already made prior commitments. I treat animals like they are children, because to me, they are. My own two are my favorite people in this world, but I love animals in general. I especially enjoy cats, friendly dogs, and giant rabbits. 😃 I like to treat each cat, dog, rabbit, etc, as the unique personality they are. Some cats, for example, are a little more standoffish than others. The best thing to do with them is to not push them. Nobody cat or human likes someone standing in front of them demanding attention ! Some dogs, for example, are very laid back and really just want to lay next to you and snuggle. Others are always ready to play! I am knowledgeable about safety, and when I am doing a drop in visit, I always keep an eye out for anything that doesn't look right. When I am dog walking, I like to go places that are less traveled, I keep my attention fully on them, and on everything going on around us. When I am with your animals, they are my first and only priority.
“So wonderful! Thank you so much for all the thoughtfulness and care”
“Eva was great! She was able to accommodate us at the last minute. All the animals loved her and she took excellent care of them and our home. We received daily updates with pics to put our mind at ease that they were happy and doing well. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: Proud pet dad with 20+ years of experience caring for animals. Currently parenting a sassy three-legged cat, four dogs—including a neurotic German Shepherd and three lovable, high-energy Pitbulls—and three spirited Quarter Horses. Skilled in reading body language and defusing tough situations, especially with dogs that don’t always see eye to eye. Animal harmony is my passion! I work full time from home and my schedule is flexible to whatever I want to do with my day which makes it easy. My only instances of not being available is if the wife is on a business trip I have 30 acres and three male dogs that do not always get along so we have a strict crate and bedroom rotation to keep everyone happy and safe at our home. It requires a lot of work so unique situations at home are not lost on me. I’m very passionate about working with my dogs I take them on three to four walks a day on our property and most of which are separated so I get 12k steps a day just looking after our crew. I have a remote job which allows me to be home with them. Thankfully this year my wife will also be remote which allows me some time to look after your pets with her being home more.
“Mary was a wonderful house sitter! She went out of her way to accommodate the dogs. Even the cat came out from behind the bed to see her and that never happens!”
About: Over 20 years in the Veterinary field and a pet owner my whole life. Farm girl and I love the fur babies! Can’t wait to meet you! I work part time and set my own hours. I Also have family help if needed. Animals are never left more than a couple hours without “out time”. Have small farm, completely fenced and own 2 amazing dogs. Lots of playroom. Kennels available if required. Space outside and inside for needs of animals!
About: I've worked on farms growing up, everything from dogs, and cats to chickens, horses and cows. I, myself own a husky, boxer and a cavalier, so I have experience ranging from vastly different breeds and sizes of dogs as well as energy levels. I raised puppies and kittens, as well has fostered and adopted dogs and cats. I've taken care of both senior dogs and cats, as well as more trouble maker types too. I work as an assistant for a DVM and have lots of experience going around my neighborhood taking care of their pets as well, this can be anything from letting them out periodically, walking/playing with dogs, feeding them, and administering medicine. I've pet sat ranging from anywhere between a weekend to a few weeks. I would love to extend my service to others as well, as pets are my passion. I am a part time college student with a lot of free time, so overnight pet care or play time visits 2-3 times a day are not a problem for me. I have myself 3 very friendly dogs, my cavalier spends her night in her crate, an elderly boxer as well as a fun loving husky, about 6, who loves dog parks, dog beaches and most of all, dogs. Everyone is very friendly, spayed/neutered and calm. Our cats are very use to dogs and typically spend most of their time outdoors. They have a large outdoor play area, safely fenced-checked often. Based off preference, they are easily separated and do not need to make contact if desired.

Adriana L.
“It cant be helped, but to recognize the true animal lover Adriana is. I have seen her care for her own animals in the most loving and considerate ways. It is for that reason that I have entrusted her to care for my own cats and dogs over many years. She is reliable and dependable, intelligent and with strong common sense. She is able to follow instructions with ease and seeks to do so. She is honest, trustworthy and easy to work with. She has stayed at my house and watched my cats for me while I was away and later when I got a dog - she watched him too over night and daily walks as well. I would highly recommend her for pet-sitting, drop-in visits, walks, playtime and simple errands. She is good natured and I have the utmost confidence in her caring for other animals.”

Nicholas F.
“Nicholas is exceptionally caring, kind, and attentive. He is not only capable but also genuinely dedicated to providing the care your pets need while you’re away. He has consistently cared for my challenging group of pets during my frequent work trips, handling their unique needs with ease. I’m deeply grateful knowing my pets are not just well looked after but truly loved and pampered in my absence.”
Mary B.
“Mary was a wonderful house sitter! She went out of her way to accommodate the dogs. Even the cat came out from behind the bed to see her and that never happens!”
Connie A.
“Connie has cared for my Standard Poodles and birds since November of 2022. There are very few people that I would trust to care for my animals. I trust her wholeheartedly. She has a key to my house and she comes over periodically when I am not able to let my dogs out during the day or occasionally late into the evenings. Connie treats my dogs and birds like they are her own. When we go out of town at the same time and she is not available to care for my animals, I take all of them with us on the trip. Her vet tech background make her even more valuable as a care giver as she can spot aliments and administer meds and medical care that other pet sitters and care givers may not have the knowledge or skills needed to properly care for sick or medicated animals. I am very careful with who I recommend in life- I whole heartedly trust and recommend Connie.”
