Top rated Ellinger pet sitters

“Amy is amazing. She spends time with our kitties and keeps them company. She knows how to approach them as a “newbie” to them and make them feel at ease. Her report cards are much appreciated and I found myself looking forward to the pictures. We didn’t have a care in the world with her as our fur baby sitter.”


“Marsha was amazing. Her photos and comments after each check-in gave me so much reassurance while I was away. I would not hesitate to put my cat in her capable and wonderful hands again. I am so thankful.”


“Garrett is a trust worthy sitter. He is very good at following instructions. Garret took the time to meet the dogs ahead of time and they were left in good hands. Recommend and will book again.”


“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.”



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.

About: I have been around dogs for 41 years and taken care of them for over 36. I've also worked with and cared for cats, goats, horses, pigs, chickens and some other exotic animals here and there. I have experience in training dogs both on and off leash with e-collars. I also have a dog and indoor/outdoor cat and have trained them to get along and perform jobs.I I am a work from home entrepreneur with 1 acre who also works with a local farm on 20 acres, so there is always plenty of space and time to take care of animals. I have a half acre fenced yard with a standard 4' fence so as long as your doggo isn't tiny or able to jump fences they'll be able to stay outside longer if they like. Otherwise I can monitor them or walk them around the property. I have en elderly dog who may play with your dog(s) or who may keep to himself. I have an outdoor cat that takes care of snakes, bugs and rodents who also comes in the house sometimes. I have access to 1 or 2 small to medium crates, &/or if you prefer to provide a crate, I can crate your dog as well. If dogs are well trained and well behaved, I also have access to a 20 acre farm in the neighborhood so we can go there for exercise.

Hes now almost 1 year old! i offer pets safe environment wether they want to be alone or want to play they have my 100% attention!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from Irish Wolfhounds to different breeds I have found at animal shelters I love to play with animals and give them the love and support they need. I have fostered dogs for the past 2 years as well. I currently work full time at the Sheriff Department, my schedule is pretty flexible to work with. I do work during the day so I am available overnight anytime. I have a fenced yard and a year old puppy who loves to play with other dogs! I have a 7 yr old son who loves helping out with our dogs. They are both crate trained, potty trained, loves playing fetch and we adopted T-Rex from brenham animal shelter and Kelso from a non profit organization that I use to foster for.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, been pet sitting cats and dogs since I was 15. Also experienced in caring for seniors and pets with special needs. I am currently on a break from my full time job so I am available pretty much 24/7. I love pets so I have no problem being at the ready any time for your furry friend. I am partial to treating pets as human members of my own family but I am also perfectly comfortable following any rules you have. Given free rein I will spoil any furry friend I am put in charge of.

About: I’ve always had animals from a young age from small bunnies to big horses. We have an excellent relationship with Welch Veterinary Clinic and Hartland Grooming if you want us to take your dog for a doggy spa day. My 16 year old daughter, Brittan and I spend time to take care of our pets and we love your pets like our very own! We live on a farm, we have four friendly dogs for playmates. We take the dogs on walks on the back roads, lots of playtime, and snuggles at night. We have a small crate for small dogs, and a small room area for big dogs and also a fenced in yard and outdoor kennel.

About: My entire life we have always had pets. I am a huge pet lover. Growing up I don’t think there was a time we ever didn’t have a dog. Now currently I own an almost 5 year old german shepherd and 2 cats. I would do anything for my pets and would love to be there for yours. I currently do work full time so feedings and walks would be the easiest for me schedule wise. But anytime I do have the free time I would love to pet sit for you! I am such a big animal person I would love to play with them go on walks/ runs, do some training, and make sure they get plenty of food and treats!

About: As a kid, I’d do research for my dogs to train them on my own. I’m now in a training dogs for the blind organization at A&M. I’m currently enrolled at Texas A&M majoring in animal science. I’m in a training group for dogs for the blind that meets every week and I get the opportunity to sit dogs and eventually will train one on my own. I also volunteer each week with Courtney Cares at A&M which is working around horses. I do as much volunteer opportunities for exotic animals aswell. My dogs are all crate trained and have a safe environment. If left out of the crate, I make sure anything that can harm them is put away. If the dog is kinda crazy then I make sure to not let them out of sight especially around other dogs. My dogs get fed twice a day with many treats for skills in the middle.

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: Hi there! I am a passionate dog lover living in the countryside with my two playful Mini Australian Shepherds. My pups love exploring the great outdoors, from playing with the cows to riding around with us in the Can-Am. At the end of the day, you'll find us all snuggled up on the couch. While I can’t add any more dogs to our family full-time, I'd love to share our home, time, and love with your furry friends. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets and we’ll treat your dog as one of our own. With years of experience raising and caring for dogs, I'm comfortable with all breeds and personalities. Whether your pup needs exercise, attention, or just a cozy spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home with us. Let me know how I can help make your life (and your dog's!) a little brighter. 🐾 I work full-time from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but spend several days a week working from home. I'm home most weekends working outside on our property. I live on a 40-acre property with a fence, but have an open yard and a pool. I keep our dogs nearby the house when outside, and put them on leashes when taking walks up the driveway.

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!
