“Cathy is amazing and only person we know take such great care of our JaJa!”
About: I have fostered dogs in Oracle Arizona, trained collegues dogs, and watched their animals while on vacation! I simply love spending time with animals, they deserve the best treatment! Right now I am full time training and pet sitting. I can drive to you or meet somewhere conveinient, morning afternoon or evenings work. What is better than peace of mind while you are away? I treat every animal like I do my patients, as family; they are your fur babies afterall! I am comfortable with a variety of pet needs and environments, just ask!
“Aurora was so sweet and kind to our Chico! We will definitely use her again!!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is my genuine love for dogs, attention to detail, and commitment to making each pet feel safe, happy, and loved. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality, energy level, and needs—whether that means going on long walks, playing in the yard, or just offering calm companionship. Im currently a RN and work 3 shifts per week. Looking to fill my off days with a side hustle. The days I work very week by week and can have up to a week off at times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, consistent, and safe environment that helps pets feel secure while their owners are away. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine—feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medications—so there’s as little disruption as possible.
About: I have had a dog ever since I was 9. She has become very sick in the last couple years so I have gained a lot of experience so working with senior babies will be no problem. I also got my dog Milo two years ago. I have had him since he was 8 weeks! Due to this I am well versed in puppies and training. However, ever since I was 15 I fostered dogs and cats with my parents and took it on alone after I moved to college. I actually fostered a kitten from the time he was also very much a baby (8 weeks) and I love cats!! I have fostered rescue dogs that have had a history of trauma or reactivity so I am well versed in how to approach those situations as well. I will treat your fur baby as I would my own, with love and patience, I just graduated college and have a lot of free time so my schedule is pretty open! If I cannot make a time I will be sure to message you! I walk my dog milo everyday depending if its too hot for him outside or not. My dog Coco cannot do walks but I do administer medication to her twice a day including eyedrops and pain medication. Milo gets fed twice a day as well as Coco. Both my dogs are let free in the house daily however they are both kenel trained as needed. I understand everyone has different preferences for their animals so I am willing to work with your needs!
“We love Lexee!! Honestly cannot trust her enough with how well she cares and loves our puppy!”
“Meghan is by far the best day walker we’ve ever had. She is reliable, attentive and caring. I’m so happy to have her a part of my dog’s life.”
“Kendra, was great with our Chico. She was very punctual and loving, which we and Chico really appreciated. We felt very comfortable with Kendra taking care of Chico, we will definitely use her again soon.”
About: Hello! I’m a dedicated and responsible student currently saving to apply to medical school. I’m also a proud dog owner of three (two energetic 5-month-old Malteses and a Chihuahua). They are truly my family, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I care for all animals as if they were my own, and I’m committed to providing them with a safe, loving, and attentive environment. I am very good at time management and can make time to walk pets. Recently, I have been enjoying more of a pet’s company more than anything. I love making time for dogs. I treat them like family. I have a fenced backyard and they are free to roam around freely. I also have a crate if needed! Safety for pets always comes first. Also, my dogs have their own air conditioning.
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.
“Great photos and thank you so much for taking care of my baby girl!!!”
About: My life was pets—dogs, cats, turtles, bunnies—you name it! I love volunteering with animals and never say no to cuddles or long walks. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes, and I’ve administered medications both orally and topically. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities! I am open to the needs of you and your fur babies! I am a remote worker. A heads up and organized plan suits best! As a woman, I feel the need to have heightened security, whether that be cameras, multiple locks and full fencing. I am highly organized (and also pretty excited) to give my full attention to any at all for babies that I can home short term.
“Sarah is Awesome”
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 currently work-from-home exclusively and can manage varied schedules. I love taking any length walk according to your preference. 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.
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.

“Cathy is amazing and only person we know take such great care of our JaJa!”
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!”

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.”
