“We were really glad to have found Heather! She was able to accommodate our dog a few notice before we stayed in Galveston. Her woof lodge was only a short distance from where we were staying so that was a plus. Thank you for taking care of our girl.”
“I would give 10 stars if I could. Michelle is truly an angel. She took such good care of our "girl" and went way above and beyond. A million thank yous for all you did for our Chanel.”
“I had such a great experience with my Skylar! She took amazing care of my pup while I was away and made me feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much and helped me relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid attention to all the little details. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”

About: I grew up on a farm, so I have a broad knowledge of many different animals. I currently have two of my own dogs that are both working breeds. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy to care for your pets when you’re not there. I do work a full-time 8-5 job. I can offer morning and evening visits. I can also offer boarding services for different types of pets. I have two friendly dogs that love to play and make new friends. One of them can be a little shy so I have experience working with dogs who aren’t sure of new environments. My two can also be crated if needed
About: Growing up we have always had pets. We have always had dogs, but we have also had cats, and even goats. This has given me experience caring for pets of many kind. I have cared my own dog since he was a puppy, giving me the experience necessary to care for your puppies. I am currently a student at TAMUG Monday -Friday. I have many breaks during the day to come home and take care of the pets. I provide the attentive care necessary to keep your pet safe. I have plenty of experience walking pets on leash, and taking care of pets in a city environment. I know what is necessary to keep your pet safe while they are in my care.
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.

“Heidi was excellent. She treated Gizmo like we was in his own home. They went for walks, played and in general she let Gizmo feel safe and secure as if he was home. Thank you Heidi as we were so worried to leave him for that many days.”

About: Hi there! My name is Michael (pronounced Michelle) but I go by Niki! As a lifelong animal lover and beachside mama with a heart as big as a Great Dane, I go beyond basic dog sitting. I treat your fur baby like family—because they are. From belly rubs to pup-approved playlists, each visit is personalized, playful, and filled with love. Whether it’s morning zoomies, sunset strolls, or calming snuggles while you’re away, I create a safe, cozy, and joyful experience tailored to your pet’s unique personality. Your dog doesn’t just get a sitter—they get a best friend, a routine they can count on, and a home-away-from-home feeling every time. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s woven into my daily life. As a mama with a flexible schedule, I’m up early and out walking when the world’s still quiet (and perfect for peaceful pup strolls). This isn’t just a job for me—it’s like a calling, a joy, and a part of who I am every single day. I have a big fenced in yard and a friendly, full of energy mini dachshund to keep your fur baby company! I can also easily crate your fur baby, if you request it.

Cheyanne C.
“Cheyanne speaks the language of animals more than anyone that I know. Growing up she has always had dogs and the more the merrier. Additionally, she helped out on a goat farm as a teen and had to add a goat to the mix at home. She can handle any situation that comes up and has a vast knowledge of pet care from life experience. Although caring for others pets is clearly an important job, not only will Cheyanne take it seriously, she will enjoy being with your pets immensely. She is responsible, honest and a caring, sensitive person who will love on your pets. She has stayed with our pack of three dogs on numerous occasions (as well as caring for our five goats) and we always felt that the animals were sorry when we returned home!”
