About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

“Ann was very accommodating and understanding with taking care of my doggy, sent me plenty of pictures and even made sure to give her extra attention when she could tell she needed it! I will definitely be contacting her in the future and i definitely recommend her. Thanks again Ann :)”


“Madeline was awesome and very helpful watching our two dogs! Very professional, communicative and friendly. We would definitely book with her again! Thank you Madeline!”


“Jamie was great and I will definitely use her again. She provided timely updates and pictures. I used her for drop in visits and had no problem trusting her in my home or with my small zoo :)”


About: I've owned pets my entire life. I've cared for all of my pets through senior ages, including managing many variations of care/medications, with compassion. I'm looking forward to helping care for others pets since I no longer have one of my own. Being a hands on dog mom for so many years, I understand how difficult it can be to find a trustworthy care taker to match my care expectations, so I'm hopeful to help others that experience the same for their own fur family member. I work from home 3 days a week, so I'm home 5 out of 7 days. I work 4 miles from my home so can make frequent visits on the 2 days I'm in office. I have no other pets or children in the home. I can care for your pet(s) as if they are in your own home. I can provide frequent bathroom breaks, walks, and medication administration.

“Great sitter, the dogs really opened up to him. Took extra care of my other dog when he notices he had a slight ear infection. Would def book again.”


About: When I was in freshman year of high school I used to help out my next door neighbor by walking his dog because he used to work night shift alot and sleep in so I'd help him out, and he ended up tellin other people in my apartment and I started helping out more people with cats and dogs so I've been working with animals, then when I moved to Texas withh my aunt who's a dog breeder I feed and watch puppies and dogs on a daily now. I work mainly mornings as a bartender so I'm unavailable til 4 unless I'm off but I can walk your dog when I get off and feed them if yaou are away! I make your dog feel loved and appreciated, they will be my best friend. I always have treats on me (unless you don't want me too) but I will help them warm up to me pretty quickly.

“Justin was super responsive and kept us up to date on our cats with photos and feedback on every visit. He is warm and friendly and the cats seem to like him. We will definitely book with him again in future. Thanks Justin!”


“Wendy was a cheeful, reliable sitter that took extra care with my pets. She easily handled feeding our pet parakeets in addition to our cats. I would highly recommend her.”


About: Over the years, I’ve rescued and trained several puppies, helping them find loving homes. My experience with animals began in childhood, where I cared for multiple pets who lived long, happy lives. This lifelong connection with animals has given me the skills and dedication to provide exceptional care. I am currently available at all times, including early mornings, late nights, and any day of the week. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended pet care, or last-minute needs, I can adjust to your schedule and provide reliable, attentive service. My flexibility ensures your pet gets the care they need, whenever they need it. I have a strong understanding of animal behavior and body language, allowing me to anticipate their needs and reactions in various situations. I also have the necessary tools and equipment to maintain control and ensure the safety of all parties at all times, providing a secure and stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners.

About: I’ve grown up with at least two dogs in my family at a time and am a huge animal lover. I’ve helped train my cousins dog and made it my mission to be able to identify as many breeds of dogs as I could by the time I was 10. The youngest pet I’ve been with is a few month old puppy and the oldest a being a nine year old cat and an eleven year old dog I recently started a new job, so my availabilities are somewhat limited. I’m available all day Mondays, Tuesdays until 5pm, after 5 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and then unavailable anytime after 5pm on Fridays and Saturdays and unavailable until 10pm on Sundays At home, I live with two Aussie shepherds, two cats and a poodle mix, with roommates, so I cannot sit in my own home. In a clients home, I will care for the pet in accordance to any instruction given. Beyond that, there will be lots of love and playtime, and constant bathroom breaks as well as general outside time and walks.

“Anna is amazing. I have the grumpiest cat alive and the other is really skittish. After 4 days, Anna had won them over. She is reliable, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I highly recommend her. I will definitely book her from now on anytime we need a sitter!”
