Dog Sitting Galveston

About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with dogs! I’m now living in Galveston while attending UTMB, and as a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel loved and cared for. I’m currently a full-time nursing student at UTMB with classes on Monday and Thursday. I’m living on the island and available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and most weekends. By learning about a specific pet and their needs you can know exactly what they want. My Golden Retriever knows everyday that he is going to get a walk and go to the dog park a couple times as well as get very spoiled. I would like to do the same thing with your animals while building a relationship with each one.

“Grace was a fantastic sitter and took wonderful care of my sweet Clementine! Having reliable care for my baby while I’m gone is a huge concern and with Grace at the helm I was able to enjoy my time away and know Clem had everything she needed and more. I can’t recommend Grace enough.”

About: I’ve been the primary caregiver for my own dog for 11 years, handling daily walks, feeding, grooming, medications, and vet visits. I’ve also cared for family members’ and friends dogs with a variety of needs, ages, and personalities. In addition, I’m an active member of Texas A&M LEIAS, a women’s organization founded on leadership, academics, and service with a strong focus on animal rescue. This involvement has strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, and commitment to providing attentive, compassionate pet care. As a college student, I’m very organized with my time, and pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around classes to ensure pets receive consistent walks, feedings, playtime, and attention. I’m committed to maintaining each pet’s normal routine and can be flexible to accommodate specific needs, whether that’s daily check-ins, extended care, or overnight stays. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep pets secure, and monitor behavior and health closely. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I strive to create a calm, structured, and loving environment. My involvement in LEIAS and animal rescue–focused service has reinforced the importance of accountability, compassion, and treating every pet with the same care I’d want for my own.

About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs, from small to very large. I have experience with senior dogs and raised my own dog as a puppy. I can give medications as needed and live an active lifestyle so walks are a breeze! I’d love to help with your fur babies (also have cat, guinea pig, and chicken experience).

For in home service I follow the instructions of the owner to a T. I make sure to try and maintain the pets routines as best as I can. I treat your homes how I’d want mine treated!

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 grew up caring for my own cats and dogs and have also enjoyed being entrusted to care for the fur babies of others when they’re unable to. This has included general companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, and administering oral medications. I have experience with breeds of all sizes and ages, but do especially well with smaller breeds. Currently, I’m earning certifications in animal care, health, behavior, and wellness (including CPR and treatment of minor injuries) to be able to provide the best care possible! A work-from-home schedule affords me the flexibility to attend to your pet care needs. You can contact me in advance to inquire about availability and schedule services. A free 15-minute meet & greet is required for first-time clients. I prefer to care for pets in the client’s home; however, if a visit to my home is necessary for periods of time longer than an hour, it is recommended that the client provide materials like food, leash, toys, pet bed, and a carrier/crate, if used.

About: What sets me apart is the love and care I bring to every pet I look after. I’ve always had a special connection with dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and unique way of showing affection. From energetic pups who love long walks and playtime to older dogs who prefer a little extra patience and cuddles, I enjoy getting to know what makes each pet feel happy and comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy the little things—from a happy tail wag at the door to cozy cuddle time. My goal isn’t simply to “watch” your pet; it’s to make them feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, but I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays and have full availability on weekends. I truly enjoy spending my free time caring for pets, giving them plenty of love, attention, walks, and companionship. Your pet’s happiness and comfort are important to me, and I’ll treat them like family while you’re away. I provide loving, respectful care in your home while keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s safety, and will keep you updated so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for.

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.

About: As a family very familiar with farms I've been around a multitude of animals from large livestock, goats to rabbits, cats and dogs from a very young age. I absolutely adore going above and beyond for your pet! Every animal I interact with is going to get the same premium treatment my pets do. I worked in a vet office as a veterinary technical assistant during my senior year as well. I am currently a student going to Texas A&M Galveston for my Bachelor's and Masters degrees, I plan to go fly planes into hurricanes for data collection! I have classes late into the day Tuesday and Wednesdays but besides that I am very available for early mornings before 10 and afternoons after 130! weekends are on a case by case basis. I live in a dorm but am more than happy to take your fur baby to the park or stay in your home and the safe environment they know!

About: I have always loved dogs! I grew up with a king charles as my family dog. I now have a 3 year old golden retriever. I have worked with many trainers (classes and private) and feel confident in my dog training skills. I am informed on dog behaviors and signals. I care deeply about making sure a dog is comfortable and happy! I am currently in school where I have class for half a day, Monday - Thursday. This means I home quite a bit. My boyfriend is also in school, and he has close to an opposite schedule where he is gone in the afternoons but home in the morning. Our dog is rarely left for more than 2 hours by herself. We have a fenced in backyard. We have a golden retriever and super friendly cat to keep furbabies company. Both of them are good with other cats and dogs. We have plenty of dog toys, balls, ropes, frisbees, anything you could imagine. Our animals are welcome on our furniture with us, so lots of time for snuggles.

About: I have had many animals throughout my life. I have also cared for friends’ animals when they go out of town. Your fur babies will be well cared for with me! I am a stay at home mom to teenage boys, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am home all day most every day, so you can rest assured your pet is getting one on one attention every day of their stay! I have a fenced yard and a 9-pen boarding facility at my home. Each pen has access to a private, fenced potty area and your dog can either participate in group play or have private one-on-one play if they are more shy.

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.

About: I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're part of my own family. I am a certified Vet Asst with a lifetime of pet experience. After years of caring for pets, I've learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels understood. I currently have 3 dogs and 8 cats, including a few fosters. Pet care is my full-time job, so I am available throughout the day. During each visit, your pet will get more than just the basics. They'll get attention, playtime, enrichment, and the care they're used to receiving at home. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I don't just see pets as another booking on my calendar. I see them as family members who deserve patience, attention, and care.

About: Available most days. Currently have a part time job typically with mid day hours. I’m available to do walks, stop in visits, and possibly boarding and doggy day care. Please let me know any special accommodations/requests your little ones need. Right now I work part time. I have availability throughout my work days, and I'm very available in the evenings. I accept cats as well. So just let me know if there’s a specific time you need me, and I will try and work it out. I can bring your pet into my home, I am in a small condo. I do not have any pets of my own. I don’t have a fenced in yard but can take nice walks or drive to the park.

About: With 21 years of military service, I bring a unique blend of commitment, discipline, and attention to detail to every aspect of my life. I grew up as part of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), where I gained extensive hands-on experience in raising pets. This foundation in animal care has shaped my practical approach to dog and cat husbandry. Currently, I maintain a diverse array of animals, including a black lab that I personally trained for duck hunting, a cat I’ve leash-trained to go on walks, a turtle, and a small-scale quail farm. My experience has taught me the importance of precision and organization, which I apply to managing my pets, ensuring everything is in top shape and that the animals receive the best care possible. I finish my workday in the early afternoon on weekdays, and I prioritize your pet during my free time. Your pet’s care will always be my top focus. I’m also available for early morning visits to accommodate your schedule. I treat our pets like family. Without children of our own, our 'fur babies' are everything to us. I care for every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give to my own pets.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. We had two great danes and would baby sit any type of dog from Dotson, pit bulls, mastiffs, poodles, labs, shepherds, and many more. In the last 10 years I have been a lot more involved with handling and training of the dogs we have and baby sit. As well, I have experience with cats, fish, and birds. Needles to say, there is very little I don't feel comfortable taking care of. My days are very open and flexible . I go to college from 10:00am to 12:00am mon-thurs. Other than school I have a very flexible schedule. Any animal I take care of I will show the attention and care I would give to my 11 year old great dane. Not only will they get attentive care but all the fun they could wish for.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they are energetic puppies or calm senior pets. I also have experience with: * Puppy care and basic training reinforcement * Senior pet care and giving medication if needed * Keeping pets active with walks and playtime * Following feeding schedules and special instructions carefully * Providing regular updates and photos to owners for peace of mind I’m very responsible, clean, and attentive, and I always try to create a stress-free environment for both pets and their owners. I’m currently working part time, I work our 4 to 10 P.M., Thursday to Saturday, Sunday to Wednesday I’m Off, Also, in my free time I study psychology online, so I have a lot time to stay at home with your pets, and watch them. I care for pets by making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. In my client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and bedtime habits. I also keep the home clean and respect all house rules and instructions. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs to make sure they are happy and stress-free.
