“Emma was so amazing with my girls! I was very hesitant to bring on a new sitter in the middle of a medical shit-show for my oldest dog. Emma showed up at 5:45 AM (That already earns her a 'you're amazing!' in my book) and stayed with my two younger girls so that I could take my oldest one for specialized care at a vet teaching hospital. She didn't mind that I didn't know when I'd get back. She didn't mind that I'm a complete hot mess express. The girls absolutely loved her, and I loved that the first thing she did at our meet and greet was play with them. When my middle girl didn't want to eat while I was gone, she even tried hand-feeding her. Emma is the MVP, and I know I will be using her many times in the future.”


About: While I enjoy all animals, cats are my favorite. I have loved and cared for countless cats requiring various levels of care from kittens to seniors. I have experience administering shots and medications, personalized feeding, cleaning, and even birthing. I have studied and researched cat behaviors since I could read. I love each fur baby like they are my own. I'm the friend that always has cat food in their car or leaves the party to sit with the cat that's hiding in the closet. I work full-time, but I have all evenings and weekends free to spend time with your pets. If nearby, I can make quick trips during the day. I can dedicate as much time as needed during weekends. I am also able to keep cats at my home if preferred for more interaction time and socialization with my two friendly kitties. Dog (or cat) walks are limited to evenings or weekends. Must have a leash/harness. I let the animals take charge for the most part. I find that they will tell you what they need, and it is up to you to interpret them. Structure can be important, but following their lead and understanding their instincts can save you time and energy. I also try to be firm when it comes to meals and treats. (sometimes a challenge!) Health and longevity are most important to me.
“This is the second time we have had Desi watch our pit bull and my dog loves her! Desi follows her medication schedule and sends me lovely pictures throughout the day! We will always have her watch my girl!”

About: I've loved and cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities since I was 13 years old. Over the past 7 years, I've built real experience with puppies, seniors, large breeds, and dogs with special needs or medications — giving each one the patience and attention they deserve. Whether I'm walking, dropping in, or house sitting, your dog is always in caring, capable hands. Neighbors and families have trusted me to treat their pets like my own, and that's a responsibility I take to heart. Multi-dog households are no problem — the more, the merrier! Being home from college means I have a flexible, wide-open schedule throughout the day — and I couldn't think of a better way to fill it than caring for pets! Morning, midday, or afternoon, I'll work around whatever fits you best. Consistency matters, and I'm committed to showing up reliably every time. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Before every visit I confirm how often you'd like updates so there are never any surprises. Your home and your furry family member will always be treated with total respect. Fair warning though — I love taking photos, so expect plenty of cute snapshots sent straight to your phone. Happy pet, happy owner — that's always the goal!
About: I have always loved having pets, especially since I grew up with two of them in my household. One of them was a Cane Corso and the other was a Chihuahua Terrier mix. Additionally, my grandmother has three tiny dogs that I have had the pleasure of growing up with. My love for animals, especially dogs, has inspired me to pursue a career as a zoologist. In fact, I even took vet classes while attending Duncanville High School. I have a balanced schedule that allows me to take care of my pets. As a student athlete and animal enthusiast, I'm currently home full time having recently graduated from college. I have a fenced back yard and a open front yard. As far as dog waking, I live in a circular community which make it very easy to walk around, yet get a exercise as well
About: Hi! I’m Katy, and I would love to care for your pets while you’re away. I’m a full-time music therapist, which means patience, attentiveness, and compassion are a big part of my everyday life. I bring that same calm and caring approach to every animal I look after. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know they’re doing well. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away! I am available every day. Usually will check-in during mornings and evenings on weekdays. I am available all day for weekends. I am very thorough and flexible. Please message me so I can fit your exact schedule! I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and have a calm and safe environment. I also keep the home tidy and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is doing well.
About: I am truly fascinated about animals of all kinds, especially the “weird” ones! Growing up in North Carolina, I naturally had a passion for the outdoors, and the creatures who inhabit it. I quickly learned to have respect for these animals and have always wanted to learn more. I have years of personal experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, and freshwater fish, but I am comfortable with many other species as I also have experience as an exotic veterinary assistant. I will always listen to every comment or concern, and make sure I am 100% available for all of your animal’s needs! I will always personally conduct a “history” with you, about your pet(s) before any booking! I feel like it is important to note certain information so I can look for any changes during our time together. I always log eating, drinking, defecation, and behaviors so I can ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Lastly, I understand that I am being entrusted with your animal’s care, and I take that very seriously. If there is ever a slight cause for concern, you will be contacted immediately! I am working part-time on Fridays and Saturdays currently. Please refer to my calendar for more details! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s)! I always approach animals with care and ease. I am never forceful or yell, and try to be as attentive to their needs as possible!
About: Vet nurse 10+ years. CPR Certified. The best quality care for your furry family members. I am trained and qualified to ensure that your pet has everything they want and need. I actively work at several veterinary hospitals in the area. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible. My professional career is directly related to pet care so it’s a huge part of my life. I take pet care very seriously. I love animals and treat them with compassion and respect. If they have an accident or make a mess I clean it and make sure they always have clean, dry, and comfortable bedding. Food and water bowls are filled and cleaned regularly. I will be as involved or uninvolved as they need to be. I let them show me what degree of interaction they’re comfortable with and I meet there where they’re at. If they are a lone wolf but still like to hang out from a distance that’s fine. Over the course of my career, I’ve been trained for almost every scenario regarding cats and dogs in almost any imaginable situation. With my emergency and critical care background I am always passively monitoring their vitals, general condition, and i will respond quickly, calmly, and appropriately should an issue or emergency arise. There is no better option for your pets care.
