“I am very impressed with Rebecca. She was friendly, respectful, and on time. Rebecca took time to visit with us prior to our trip to get to know everyone and their routines. She took excellent care of our dogs while visiting with and walking them multiple times. She communicated with us throughout, sent multiple pictures, and we came home to two very relaxed older dogs.”

About: I don't mind keeping in touch with texts or phone calls at all. I have no problem checking in with you in any way frequently through texts, calls, or emails (whatever method you prefer) to make sure you and your critter(s) are comfortable! I enjoy spending extra time with any animal and providing peace of mind. I can make sure your pet(s) is fed/watered, and even bathed if needed. I have no problem cleaning up after them as well. I would be available to take your pets to dog parks if you would like and would love to give them the attention they need. I have owned reptiles and other small pets so I’m prepared for most pets and enjoy taking care of them all. As a long-time pet owner I know just how important it is to have peace of mind and reassurance when you are away from your pet(s). Currently i work part-time. The days with most flexibility for me currently will be Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. This may change to more flexible hours in time. I am not currently house sitting or boarding however when I have I take pride in being respectful of yours and your pets home and space. It is no problem to keep things cleaner than i found them and make pet-care, comfort, and safety the top priority.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for years including my own, fosters, and family and friends’ pets. I have experience with all ages and sizes of both cats and dogs. I do have a 7 year old lab in my home who is very friendly and loves overnight doggie guests. I would love to learn more about how I can help you care for your pet! Note: I only book one client at a time for in-my-home services (day car/boarding). I accept multiple dogs from the same family, but will not book another client while I have your dog(s). I currently work full time with a flexible schedule during the week and am very available on weekends! I’d be happy to see how I can fit your loved ones care into my schedule! I have a fully fenced (6ft wood privacy) large yard. We also allow our dog and your on all furniture and beds if they’d like; they’re a member of the family. We do have a crate for security if that makes your pup feel more safe and sound when they’re away from their humans. Please let me know if there are any other accommodations or notes I’d need to know to best care for your pet!

I have been around animals my whole life & can assure you I will take great care of your animal babies! I’m a ‘25 high school graduate, looking to make extra cash for college while I currently train and work out daily to continue playing softball in college.

I am currently an elementary school teacher. During the school year I am available to take your pet out for potty breaks in the morning, 4:15, evening, and night. I am also available to walk pets in the evenings. I can service your pet in your household where they feel most at home. I can stay at your residence or check on them 4x a day and taking them for walks.

About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—including pregnant mamas and newborn pups—I bring more than just love to pet sitting. I’ve assisted in safe deliveries, cared for litters, and provided round-the-clock attention to dogs with special needs. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and training, so their good habits stay strong even while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, behavior reinforcement, or late-night check-ins, your pet will be cared for like they’re my own. I plan my day around the pets I care for. From morning walks to evening check-ins, their needs come first, and I always make sure to give them structure, love, and attention throughout the day. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort and routine are my top priority. I adapt to their personality and needs—whether that means active play, extra snuggles, or sticking to a specific training or feeding schedule. I always aim to provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment they can feel secure in.

About: I have grown up around all kinds if animals and helped with their care since I could remember. I have been pet sitting since I was in high school a d have cared for mostly dogs and cats, but have experience with reptiles and birds as well. My pooch is named Whiskey and I have trained him to be a therapy dog in our community and we volunteer weekly visiting schools, nursing homes, etc. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages. I raised a kitten from 9 days old once. I have experience giving pills and meds to both dogs and cats. I even used to volunteer with sea life giving IV fluids, feedings, meds, and rescue efforts. I work fully remotely, full time. I am available to walk pets in the mornings and evenings. If the pets are staying with me, I have a large fully fenced yard for your pups to play in with my dog. I have a large fenced yard and a fur baby who loves everyone, cats included. There is room in my hometown crate your pet if they are used to, or they are welcome to free roam. I work from home so the pets are rarely if ever left alone while in my care. I strive to keep a routine as close to what your pet is used to in terms of feeding and walking schedules. And of course your fur babies are allowed on all my furniture.

“Beth was amazing with my pups. I had one that needed some extra attention due to medical situations, one that was overly snippy and one that required excessive amounts of love and head rubs. First time trying rover and week definitely use her again! She kept me informed and had my pups happy and healthy waiting for me ❤️”

About: My name is Melissa, and I am a Pet Photographer, Animal Shelter Volunteer and Pet Mom! I have always had pets and I love all things fur and feather. I volunteer with local animal shelters and even provide professional photography services for abandoned pets in-shelter to assist with adoption and rescue. I understand the need for compassionate, yet affordable pet sitting services. This is why my base rate includes services for up to 3 pets before additional pet fees are charged. i am not limited on the type of pet I will care for and the three pets can be a combination of different species. Basic Canine Pet Care includes feedings, water and outdoor playtime and companionship. Basic Feline Services include feeding, water, litter box cleaning and gentle pets (if the King or Queen so desires). I can administer oral medication for no additional fee. Injections can be discussed during an in-person visit. I own a photography studio in Aransas Pass, The Empty Kennel Portrait Studio. Pet sitting fills my schedule between sessions, providing a well-rounded work-day experience. My visits will include a check-in text when I arrive, during our visit and when I depart the home. Your pet will be fed according to their feeding schedule, and we will engage in playtime. I will also assess your pet's behavior during our visit to ensure they are adjusting well to your absence. You will be advised of any abnormal behavior or potential medical concerns immediately. A walk-thru of the home is also conducted to look for any "accidents" such as feces, urine or damaged property. I also check your thermostat to ensure the home's central air unit is operating properly. I do offer pet walking and plant watering services, as an add-on to my basic pet sitting services. Upon departure, all entry doors are secured and double-checked to ensure they are locked.
