“Matt was great watching our dog Phoebe. We got lots of updates and photos of them playing. Phoebe was worn out from playing so much and so happy! Definitely using Matt again.”

“Cara is fantastic! Had a great vibe from her the moment we met. She kept my house neat and clean and my girls (dogs) LOVED her! They were so comfortable with her and happy at home with Cara that they weren’t that excited when I got home from vacation! Hire her—your pets (& house) will be in great hands.”

“I can't say enough about the amazing Livana!! Very professional, accommodating, very organized and very very good at sending updates and photos. Beautiful photos of my baby girl 💗💗💗 I would definitely recommend Livana🥰”

About: Hi, I’m Tate a lifelong animal lover with experience as unique as the pets I care for! I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, geese, and barn cats—and I’ve been a trusted sitter for everything from puppies to parrots, bottle babies to bearded dragons. I have a special heart for pets with extra needs, including those with anxiety, reactivity, or medical concerns. I’m experienced with insulin administration, glucose monitoring, and special meal prep—your pet’s routine is safe with me. While my husband was serving in the Air Force, I spent four years caring for military families’ pets near Dyess AFB while completing my college degree. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, chickens, exotics—you name it, I’ve probably cuddled it! I genuinely feel like I speak their language. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they’re at—with love, patience, and lots of care. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my routine—it’s something my routine feels incomplete without. After earning my degree in graphic design and moving across the country, I had to say goodbye to the fur family I sat for in Texas. That shift made me realize just how much joy and purpose pet sitting brought to my everyday life. These days, I work from home on flexible, self-paced art and design projects, which means I have the freedom to take breaks, make visits, and give pets the attention they deserve—whether it’s a midday walk, medication, or just some much-needed love. Caring for animals brings balance and warmth to my day, and I genuinely look forward to every tail wag, meow, chirp, or cuddle. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, my top priority is maintaining their usual routine and environment to minimize stress and keep them feeling safe and secure. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s playtime outside, quiet companionship, or extra TLC for pets who are shy or reactive. My approach is experience-focused—I’m not just there to check a box, but to make sure your pets are truly cared for and comforted while you’re away. I also believe in leaving your home as tidy (or better!) than you left it. I often vacuum or sweep, take out the trash, bring in mail, and keep up with litter boxes, enclosures, and yard clean-up. My goal is to provide total peace of mind—both for your pets and for you.
“Paige did a great job! She updated us very frequently on the status of our pups, with plenty of adorable pictures! She not only took great care of our dogs, but she also left our house in the same condition as when we left. We barely could tell anyone had been there!”

About: I’ve cared for three dogs; all different breeds and ages, I especially love pitbull breeds, I have experience with dogs with medical problems as well I work 3 12hr shifts/week and available the rest of the week, and am hours almost all daylight hours and can schedule ahead for longer boarding stays I have an open tile and vinyl first floor closed off from basement and upper floor ensuring constant supervision and a risk free environment for both cats and dogs

“Samm is 100% reliable. She’s great with animals. She’s an excellent communicator. She’s flexible in providing whatever services we think our pets need. I don’t know what we would do without her.”

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I am patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels loved and comfortable while their owner is away. I currently work full-time, but I am home by 4:00 pm during the week. I am available most weekends, so I can provide consistent drop-ins, walks, or playtime that fits your pet's routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have experience following detailed instructions and keeping pets on schedule with meals, walks, and medications if needed. In your home, I respect your space while making sure your pet feels secure and loved.
“This was our first time using Rover and what a great experience we, and especially our Libby, had with Stephanie. We had introductory meetings beforehand and Libby loved Stephanie right away. We received terrific pictures and lots of communication. Stephanie took great care of Libby and our home. It was truly a wonderful experience and we intend to reach out again when the next opportunity and need arises. Stephanie is a wonderful, caring, person and I highly recommend her.”

“So lucky we found Cindy! Cindy was the perfect dog sitter for my moody little guy. He was immediately taken with her and Cindy did a great job at getting Brownie to feel confortable with her. I was out of town for four days and felt very comfortable leaving Brownie with Cindy. I got regular text messages and pictures of Brownie updating me about their day. I’ll definitely reach out to Cindy again the next time we go out of town.”

“Ashlee took on a two dog household for a week long stay as a dog and house sitter and did an amazing job. She was great at communicating before the stay and throughout the stay, and she could problem solve little things to not disturb me on my trip. Ashlee provided the dogs with exercise above what was asked, she cleaned up the house before she left (including the not so fun task of picking up poop from the yard!), and she kept my mind at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to book!”
“This was the first time I’ve ever had a dog/house sitter, but I knew it was the right thing for Ranger. Cyndi was great! Kept in touch. Left my home cleaner than when I left it. And I know Ranger was happy, safe and well taken care of. I’ll definitely feel comfortable with this service in the future and Cyndi for sure!”

“We couldn't be happier with the job Kelsey did watching our 1 1/2 year old puppy, Alfie. She is warm & loving and extremely responsible. Kelsey moved into our home for 3 weeks and not only did she do a fabulous job with Alfie, she was clean & respectful of our home. We received lots of texts, pictures & videos which really helped to ease our anxiety over leaving Alfie for so long. He loved Kelsey so much that although he was overjoyed to see us, he was also depressed that Kelsey was gone. We will definately use Kelsey again without hesitation!”

No matter the setting, my goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet!
“Ronnie is such an amazing dog sitter! She came in and asked everything she could to get to know Duncan and even did a visit prior to our needed services! She went above and beyond to take care of Duncan and make sure he had everything he needed. Definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!”
