About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors dogs for about 2 years. I currently have 2 cats and have had them for a year. I volunteered at a pet hospital where I observed operations. I am currently working part time so I will have time to to care for your pets during the mornings. I am free most days of the week. I have 2 cats who are very fond of dogs. They have a catio so they are usually on the balcony. For your dog I can easily make them a space to play as well.

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.

About: Hi! I’m a pet sitter and dog walker with a big heart and a full house—three dogs, two cats, and a whole lot of experience. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, because I’ve been on both sides. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat wants a cozy visit, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and a little bit spoiled. I’ll treat your pets like family—and yes, that includes plenty of playtime and picture updates! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I already spend each day walking, feeding, and loving on my own three dogs and two cats, so adding care for others’ pets fits right in. I work part-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to schedule walks, drop-ins, or extended visits throughout the day. Whether it’s morning strolls, mid-day check-ins, or evening feedings, I’m used to building my routine around the needs of animals. Honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. At home, my three dogs and two cats are used to a routine full of attention, exercise, and enrichment—and I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that means specific feeding times, medication, favorite walking routes, or bedtime rituals. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and preferences, so whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and mellow, they get care that suits them. Clean spaces, fresh water, lots of love, and regular updates come standard!

About: Hey Y’all! I will be home in Killeen for the holidays. As a full time student in Galveston, work is hard to find but I would love the opportunity to care for your dog(s) while you are out of town celebrating the holidays. I have open availability just let me know what days you need help and I’ll be there! I am a full time physical therapy student. Pet care fits in my schedule when I am not in class. My tentative schedule is Monday-Friday starting at 6PM and then open on the weekends. When I care for a pet in their home, I like to be consistent as possible with how their owner treats them. The pet is in the comfort of their own home, so they should be allowed to be comfortable and do the things they usually do. This involves talking with the owner about what is allowed (can dogs be on the couch, do dogs sleep in the bed) and what does the dog like to do for fun (bath time, fetch, walks, being petted). It’s important for the dog to feel seen.

“Meghan is the best. She is a true dog lover and shared a ton of pics and videos of the pups over her stay. She is proactive and a great communicator. Our dogs LOVE her and seemed so relaxed and happy with her. Book with Meghan, you won’t regret it.”


About: I have over 2 decades of pet care experience, and have had a wide variety of species as pets from the moment I was born, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, horses, rabbits, snakes, fish, and more. I also have a multitude of work and volunteer experience in animal-oriented positions, such as animal shelters, pet hotels, and even a ranch. My pets are family and mean the world to me, and I will do my utmost to ensure your pets are given the same love, dedication, devotion, and attention as I give mine. I have been raising animals for quite a long time, and have experience with the full cycle of life, all the way from assisting animals in giving birth to providing end-of-life care for senior pets. Whatever you need from me, please do not hesitate to reach out. I will only check in on the app once I have actually arrived at your house and will not check out until I have completely finished. I will have the walker tracker on so that you may see exactly where I take your pets on their walks. I guarantee I will always include pictures with every visit with your pets. I do have experience in a professional setting with administering medications to multiple different species of animal, in a variety of different methods (orally, injection, topical). AVAILIBILITY UPDATE: I have started a new job, and my hours are Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm in the La Porte area, less than 5 minutes away from King's BBQ. I will not be able to take care of your pets during these hours. But I am available before & after work those days, in addition to the whole weekend. Thanks for understanding! AVAILIBILITY UPDATE: I have started a new job, and my hours are Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm in the La Porte area, less than 5 minutes away from King's BBQ. I will not be able to take care of your pets during these hours. But I am available before & after work those days, in addition to the whole weekend. Thanks for understanding! While I do accept same-day bookings, I politely request that you try to provide a minimum of an hour's notice if possible (ideally, with the booking being completely finalized by both parties with still an hour before the appointment time). I do completely understand emergencies happen and will absolutely try my best to accommodate, but please keep in mind I do still have to drive to the location; so 30 mins notice is not going to be possible for me to make it to some areas, even if I was ready to start heading that way at that very instant. I also will not start driving to your location until the booking is completely finalized, and may cancel requests that have not been finalized if it gets to be less than 30 minutes until the appointment and I have not heard back from you. I'm more than happy to communicate and will try to find solutions that work best for the both of us, and will always be 100% up front and honest about whether or not I can realistically make it to the location by the requested time. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation! I am willing to make any accommodations you need for me to be able to take care of your pets in your own home, whether that be crating, frequent walks, playtime, administering medication, and so on. Whatever you need from me, please do not hesitate to reach out. I will only check in on the app once I have actually arrived at your house and will not check out until I have completely finished. I will have the walker tracker on during Dog Walking bookings so that you may see exactly where I take your pets on their walks. I guarantee I will always include pictures with every visit with your pets.

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.

6. Abygail P.
“Aby loves animals, and animals love her! Aby's character is very kind, joyful, and understanding and I swear that animals pick up on that instantly. She had found a litter of kittens at her job (summer camp at the time) and nursed them all due to the mother not coming back around, and adopted in one of the kittens. He's now over a year old and grown up into a big healthy cat, and is named Billy. He is one playful, sweet cat and she's raised him very well. (He's spoiled in the best way - a billion toys, fancy collars, and even a printed picture of aby is in his cat tower.) I know Billy feels loved and am 100% positive she will bring that love and care to all the little and big creatures around her!”
