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: Having grown up with dogs since childhood, and now living with two dogs and a bunny, I have several years experience of being responsible and caring for pets! My family's Great Dane is extremely high maintenance with allergies, so I am able to administer medication or provide any additional needs. I am currently a college student attending university here, so I will have a large amount of time dedicated to caring for your pets! The majority of my time is spent supervising my bunny while working on homework for class and giving some extra love to my other two dogs at home! Caring for pets in your home, it is my goal to maintain your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, providing ample exercise, play time, and walks as needed, including their current bedtime routine. While you’re away I will make it a priority to provide frequent updates on all the fun we’re having!! I’m also happy to provide extra services like retrieving the mail and watering plants as needed:)

“Lexi was great! I work a job where I have to travel for awhile and my husband works late hours. She was so helpful to make sure sully got taken out and was able to go to the bathroom. Sully is still a puppy and he’s a lot to deal with so we were very appreciative that Lexi was willing to work with him.”

About: I have a 12yr old dog of my own (in the photo) who is an absolute joy. I would love to bring joy and exercise to your pups life while I work through grad school!

I’m also willing to just spend time around older dogs like my own who need companionship. I live in a very safe neighborhood and am willing to walk here. I am used to keeping animals leashed, watching for tourists, and being conscious about the weather changes.

I’m available for boarding on weekdays, and weekends. ( I normally don’t board on Sunday but if you guys need me to I will ...)

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, with love, patience, and attention to detail. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra care. I’m comfortable giving medications, following special diets, and keeping up with unique routines. What sets me apart is how intentional I am, I pay attention to the little things and always make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am currently a nursing student at Galveston College. I structure my study time in a way that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday checkins, or evening hangouts, I’m able to be present and consistent for your pet, and I genuinely enjoy the break and joy they bring to my routine. In my client’s home, I make sure to respect their space while keeping their pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I follow any instructions closely, feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and even favorite toys or habits. I like to keep things calm, consistent, and low stress for the pets.

Michael L.
“In my community of around 1600 homes, Michael is k own as the “Dog Whisperer”. He is a frequent visitor to the dog park. Upon his arrival, all of the dogs run over to greet him. In turn, he gives each a loving scritch and a few kind words. He has been fostering dogs with 5 being adopted out after he has trained them to obey basic commands. His love of animals extends to all critters. With his degree in medicine, he has stitched up wounds when the doggie play gets out of hand. He is vigilant about feeding, playing with and walking his dog several times a day, starting at 6 am. You’d be lucky to have Michael care for your pets!”

I would book her for pet sitting again without hesitation.”

Maci V.

“She is great with our dogs”


Kristen T.
“Kristen and I had the opportunity to watch four dogs for 7 months. We both had to share, feeding them taking them outside, Showing them we love them. One dog needed extra care with meds and cream but she did that more that I did. Kristen actually worked with a animal clinic as a vet assistant so she knows what not to give dogs and to give meds when the dog needed it when they hated the taste. She is a fellow dog mommy to her adorable dog. She is trustworthy, caring and goes above and beyond to making your dog feel at home while your away.”

Meghan was an absolute ANGEL! I had an emergency hospital stay and she stepped right in and took care of my fur baby last minute. It made me feel so much better to know she was loving in him just as I would have been. I will be using her quite often moving forward. She’s amazing !
