“Marsha is wonderful! She took on our 5 kitties while we were out of town for a few days and she was very dependable and communicative. We received regular updates and pictures with every visit and the kitties were very well cared for. 🩷 I would definitely recommend Marsha!”


“Melissa was great with our two cats. She provided updates and pictures every visit and kept the house clean. She also made sure the cats had water and enough litter, and put out extra water when she noticed that our water fountain wasn’t working properly. She kept us very up to date and made us feel safe on our international trip that our house and pets were well taken care of. She was very easy to work with and made adjustments to their food when requested. Thank you Melissa! We would love to have you back for future visits with our kitties!”


“Friendly, Trustworthy, and always showed up on time. Great communication. Caelea went above and beyond. This was our first time using Caelea to pet sit and we have already booked our future dates.”

I’ve got hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and helping puppies learn the ropes, from potty training to basic commands, all with a gentle, reward-based approach. I’m all about building trust, creating routines, and making sure your pup feels safe, stimulated, and adored (because they are).

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. We grew up on a farm with 3 dogs and loved them to death. We love all dogs, all sizes. We own 2.5 acres where dogs can run and play and have an extra large utility room for grooming. Our family includes my wife and myself, our three kids and Scout, our furry baby rescue from Houston. She loves to play in the water and run with friends. I work from home so I get lots of time to play ball, walk, run and care for your furry loved one. I most enjoy throwing tennis balls and watching the dogs play chase. We have spent more money than we would like to admit, in order to best care for pups in our care. We have a 1200 sq/ft dog house with A/C, water, toys, large play area and kennels of various sizes. We are committed to providing commercial equipment to put safety as a top priority, while still offering the quality of care provided through residential boarding. We look forward to meeting dogs of all sizes and breeds. Hope our doggy retreat is as fun for your dog as it will be for us.

“Susan was an actual God send for me and my babies!!! She was absolutely amazing with my three dogs and went out of her way to make sure they were taken care of.

About: Genuine Love & Experience with All Pets: I’m not just here to “watch” your pet—I treat them like family. With hands-on experience in caring for dogs and cats, I know how to read body language, handle different energy levels, and keep tails wagging all day long. Calm, Reliable, and Patient: Whether your pet is shy, high-energy, or has special needs, I adapt to their personality and routine to make sure they feel safe and happy. Constant Communication: I keep pet parents updated with regular photos, videos, and notes—so you’ll never feel far from your fur baby. Flexible, Clean, and Respectful: Need a last-minute booking? I’ll do my best to accommodate. I also take pride in respecting your home and leaving it cleaner than I found it. Trained Eye for Safety: I’m always alert and careful, whether it’s during walks, feeding time, or play. I’ll never put your pet in a risky situation. Caring for pets is the heart of my daily routine. I plan my day around your pet’s needs—from early morning potty breaks and feedings to playtime, walks, and bedtime cuddles. Because I work with pets full-time, I have the flexibility to give each pet my full attention without rushing. Whether it’s sticking to a senior dog’s medicine schedule, providing high-energy pups with long walks, or giving anxious pets extra comfort and calm, I adjust my day to fit their routine—not the other way around. Your pet’s happiness and well-being come first, always. When caring for pets in their own space, I aim to blend in with their daily routine. I keep their environment clean, stick to feeding and potty schedules, and offer lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I respect your home like it’s my own—tidy, secure, and trustworthy. I also send regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

We usually like to feed 3 meals a day. We also love going to the dog park everyday to get his energy out.

About: As someone deeply passionate about mental wellness and intentional living, I bring a calming, grounded energy to every pet I care for. Animals are incredibly intuitive, and I always meet them with patience, love, and respect for their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's peaceful walks, cozy companionship, or extra attention for anxious pets, I create a soothing environment that helps them feel safe and cared for while you're away. Your pets are family—and I treat them with the same heart-centered care I give in every part of my life. Pet care naturally fits into my daily life because it aligns with how I already move through the world—with intention, compassion, and calm. I prioritize routines that support emotional well-being, and spending time with animals brings a grounding, joyful rhythm to my day. Whether I’m working on my candle and apothecary projects or out for a walk, I find caring for pets adds purpose and peace to my routine. It’s not just a side job—it’s something I truly value and make space for with presence and heart. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety and respect are always my top priorities. I follow any routines or instructions closely, making sure pets feel secure and supported in their familiar space. I take time to get to know each animal’s personality and boundaries, and I always double-check doors, gates, and food instructions to prevent accidents. I treat every home with care—tidying up after myself, respecting privacy, and creating a calm, consistent environment that helps pets feel at ease while their humans are away.

About: I grew up with dogs in the family, and I absolutely loved caring for them. I've also committed to many dog-watching/house-sitting jobs! Having that previous responsibility, not only can I care well for your dogs, but I can assure they will be well loved and happily played with! I'm currently working full time, but am so open to flexibility. My schedule changes weekly, which can be hard to create a routine, but any time not spent working, I would love to hang out with your dogs! My top priority in care is going to be safety, meaning I will keep close watch on them in whatever setting your home offers, whether that be outside on a leash, in a backyard, or in the house. There will also be enjoyment of time, making sure your dog is being played with/companioned (I believe if my presence in necessary, we should be having a grand time together!) Along with these things, I will guarantee normal rituals as you wish, such as feeding instructions or bathroom breaks!

About: I've been a dedicated pet caregiver for a lifetime, having owned both cats and dogs since childhood. I have provided trusted pet care for neighbors and friends while they were away, ensuring their pets felt safe and loved. In addition, I gained professional experience subcontracting for a friend's pet-sitting business in New Orleans. I am well-versed in caring for senior animals, including those requiring medication management, and I understand the patience and attention they need. My passion for animals and reliable care make me a trusted choice for pet owners. I'm currently working part-time and looking to eventually expand to full time so I have plenty of availability and time to care for your pets while you travel. I will dutifully follow to the letter any care instructions you have for your pet. I know how important it is to maintain routines for pets to feel loved and looked after.

About: As an owner of two dogs I know how important is to know they are okay when we need to be out of the house. I personally take my dogs to work so I can take care of them during the day, I also make sure they take a walk or play at least once a day. I’m currently working from 8-5 from Tuesday to Saturday so I have time to take walks in the afternoon, pet seating after 5 pm & visit you baby during the day every 3-4 hrs. Currently im not offering pet sitting at my own house since I have 2 dogs and my yard is not fenced. However I do offer pet sitting at the comfort of your house which most of the time is better for your fur baby since is a place they know and feel safe.
