“Monica was an awesome cat sitter. She was super communitive, did everything to make sure my pets were taken care of, and they loved her! I would recommend this sitter to anyone looking.”

About: Hi there! My name is Haylie and I’m a nursing student at UTMB. I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of nine amazing pups of all different breeds and sizes. Taking care of them every day has given me tons of experience with all kinds of personalities, routines, and special needs. I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. Since I was unable to bring my dogs to school with me, I’d love to help take care of others! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I’ll treat your pets like part of my own family! As a nursing student, I’ve learned how to balance responsibility, care, and time management — skills that carry over perfectly into pet sitting. I usually finish my classes around 4 p.m. most days, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is well looked after, loved, and secure while their owners are away
“Sarah was great! She was very attentive to my instructions and was consistent in her communication. Whenever potential problems came up she was good about contacting me for my input and we were able to figure things out. Would definitely recommend her services for peace of mind about your fur babies while away! ^_^”

About: I’ve had my dog for 13 years. She’s been with me since kindergarten and it has been my duty to walk, feed, and clean her for most of those years. As she gets older, her care routine has become more vigorous but I’d do anything for my old girl! I keep her on diets and do as much as I can to help her exercise while still living in an apartment. With my college class schedule, I’m am busy every weekday morning but have many breaks between classes. I have a lot of free time that I usually take up with studying or working out but I am looking to fill that time with quality pet time. With whatever the client demands or recommends, I fully intend to respect and follow each rule and take no liberties. I only walk pets with leashes to protect themselves and other animals.

“Hannah was great! Needed a sitter last minute due to issues with previous and she was quick to respond and take over. Very timely and diligent. Kitties loved her and would 1000% book her again.”

About: I have 2 senior dogs and 2 young cats at home. I know from personal experience every animal has their own needs, differences, and personalities. Your animal will be taken care of as not just a pet, but a friend! They deserve as much love as they would get if you were there! I am free mostly on weekends as weekdays I am a full time student at Texas A&M University at Galveston. But the earlier you message me the more I am able to move my schedule around. I live on a safe and pet friendly campus. I am an active person so walks, runs, and playing are all on the table! Indoor activities for shy pets are also great as I have plenty of homework!
About: I grew up with a family dog named Cookie and I have always been around pets my whole life and have watched over friends and family’s pets, and neighbors! Currently I do not have any pets. My schedule is flexible. I am a student at UTMB. My weekday schedule is primarily at school & weekends off but am available most days of the week! I enjoy playing with pets and cuddling up with them on my couch. I live in a gated community with a dog park nearby to walk your pets around!
About: T.ender L.oving C.are of your babies while you are away: long or short-term, drop-ins, one-time, or regular care. Overnights, daily, weekly, monthly, anxiety issues, senior care, special needs — all okay! I’ve had cats, dogs, and fish since I was young. I also have previous veterinary and emergency veterinary assistant experience. I’m an experienced aquarist, plant and garden caregiver, and have hand-raised baby birds. I adore fish, guinea pigs, chickens, reptiles and amphibians too, so no worries if you have multiple pets because I take excellent care of them all! My own babies include: Hestia my newest adopted kitty, 6 pond goldfish and 1 pleco, 4 chickens, a bunch of plants, and I dabble in aquaponics (growing fish and plants together). I’m mature, responsible, detailed, and trustworthy. Taking clients now until my schedule is filled. Hope to see you soon! Feeding, care, play, and love — all day every day! We’ll probably listen to some music and do some howling too! We’ll take field trips to the beach as often as possible. HOUSE SITTING: I have deep respect for my client’s pets and home as I am also a property owner and property manager. I’m mature and professional and I listen carefully to important client instructions. I assure excellent care. ONSITE: 4 apartments formerly Airbnb rentals now used as pet accommodations — and a huge, fenced in backyard. We have lots of room for plenty of pets that won’t be in contact with one another (so no worries about getting along with others). All pets must have current vaccinations and must be on prescription flea/tic meds.
“Laura was amazing with our pets! She kept ups notified and followed all of our instructions as well as kept the house as clean as we left it. Will definitely book with Laura again.”
About: I've been around animals for my whole life, and have been taking care of other people's animals for at least half of it. I have pet sit before for both dogs and cats, and my main priority is always to keep the animals healthy and happy! Whether you need a hand for a day or help all week, I'm down to do everything from taking pets to vet appointments, going on walks, feeding and bathing, giving medications, and (of course) picking up poop, whether it's in the grass or in a litter box! I am in college but have a relatively flexible schedule and can easily do drop-ins and give walks most of the day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Will update schedule during winter break! I live in an apartment created in the lower level of a house and would need to have permission from the landlord to be able to host animals there (in addition to my own dog). I am always willing to go to a client's house! I have my own car and am able to take your pets anywhere they need to go!
About: I live in a lovely gated community with a great street for dog walking. I would also be happy to walk your dog on the seawall or on the beach and will even send you pictures of your pup throughout the day! I love dogs of all sizes and will treat them as if they were my own. I am open to both hosting your dog and/or going to your home to walk, dog-sit or house sit. I am a very reliable and responsible person and will always treat your animals and home with the utmost respect. I hope that you would choose me to take care of your fur babies and look forward to spoiling them with snuggles and long walks on the beach. Even timid rescue dogs take to me, as I feel that animals can sense good energy. :)
“Jillian was great with my two dogs, and even my cat who hides from people came up and greeted her. Very nice and she kept my dogs on their routine. Definitely recommend her and will book her again in the future.”


About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with a family dog, so caring for pets has always been part of my daily life. Throughout high school, I also worked at a boarding kennel where I gained hands-on experience caring for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities of dogs. During that time I helped with feeding schedules, cleaning, administering basic care, and making sure every dog got the attention and exercise they needed. Whether your dog needs walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, my goal is to make them feel comfortable and keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I manage an Airbnb property and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and plenty of attention. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or their own home. In both environments, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have always had pets growing up, anywhere from birds and pigs to dogs and cats. I love them all. I currently have 3 cats who are my children. Don't be worried, I'm also a dog person! I intend on going back to school next fall, and just left my last job, so my schedule is very flexible. Almost any time of any day is available. I will follow all rules set forth regarding your best interest for your pets. If I am ever to board, I have a fully fenced in yard and plenty of love to give.
About: I’ve grown up with all types of dogs in my house and around me! I started caring for pets that aren’t mine at the ripe age of 13 and have never stopped! I’m looking forward to meeting and getting to know your fur friend! Pets are a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. As a part-time barista, my schedule is very flexible, which allows me to plan my day around their needs. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles, I prioritize making sure each pet feels cared for, loved, and happy throughout the day. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel safe and relaxed. I’ll make sure they have plenty of space to roam, comfortable spots to rest, and, of course, lots of attention and affection. If your pet has a special routine, I’ll follow it closely to help them feel right at home. In your home, I treat your space and your pet with the utmost care and respect. I stick to your established routines, from feeding schedules to walk times, and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. Whether at my place or yours, my priority is ensuring your pet feels loved and well cared for.

Galveston cat parents share their Rover experiences
Knowing we have somebody who takes such great care of our cats allows us to go on trips without worrying. We really appreciate Cathy. She puts up with all of our strange requests for our cats, and also takes great care of our plants and other things. She is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Meghan was absolutely wonderful with drop-ins for my elderly cat while I was away. I was super nervous about leaving my cat with someone new after a difficult year with her health, but Meghan was super warm, communicative, and consistently on-schedule with everything going just as planned. 10/10 will absolutely book with her again. Thank you!!!

Jillian dropped in to take care of our three cats, including one senior cat who needs to have dailly meds. She was such a wonderful sitter, and not only spent quality time with our cats, but kept us updated and informed on what was going on with them. She is so great-we will definitely be booking with Jillian again! Thank you, Jillian!

Aurora was wonderful! She dropped-in to check on our cats while we were out of town and for every visit I got plenty of pictures and could tell the cats really enjoyed her presence. She also left the house in great shape. Overall, I would say Aurora was reliable and great with our cats!
