About: I’ve cared for and helped care for dogs since I was a young boy. I’ve been fortunate to have best friends that were labs, shih tzus, dachshunds, hound dogs, and terriers! There hasn’t been a dog yet that I didn’t like. I love their different personalities and quirks. My schedule is very flexible so I can be available most times of the day. I can drop in visit, walk, or run you pups! I live in an apartment and walk my two dogs multiple times a day. We also hike on the weekend to explore the beauty of nature. We visit many different parks to change up our routine! I try to keep it interesting for my furry friends!

About: Coming from the swamp lands of south Texas, I have had a love and great respect for all animals (including reptiles, insects and other non-human nature life) since a young child. My goal is to always leave our children feeling happy and loved. I have cared for dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, turtles, fish, injured wildlife (when permitted as allowed by law) and most likely any other critters that might come to mind. My goal is to fill in for happiness gaps and take care of othwr basic needs when mom/dad has to take care of other life essentials. I like taking animals out (my reptiles go outside for nature slithers), I have also administered medications as needed to pets I have cared for. I can't day I have done everything, but I am willing to hear your pets needs and try to fit. I am currently freelancing, so my schedule is very fluid. I do not have any specific times, day or night that I am not available. Pets that I have kept in my home are treated as closely to thier home roitune as possible. I ask the pet owner to give me details and we try to replicate for the pets comfort. For pet visits in the client's home I ask for clients written and verbal instructions to follow. I always like to give feedback as pets are different with all people and environments and sometimes we find things that enhance the lives of the pets even more.


“Emily is wonderful. She is very patient - she was gracious about my anxieties and I felt confident that she would take great care of our dogs. We have one senior who needs extra care and Emily wasn't phased at all by the potential for some extra work and/or clean up. When we returned the dogs were relaxed and although they were happy to see us they weren't as hyper about it as I expected, which told me they weren't stressed. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her for any pet visits or overnight petsitting.”


“Kathryn is very friendly, punctual, and does a great job communicating with her customers! Our dogs were in great hands and were given the best care during her stay. I highly recommend Kathryn for all your pet sitting needs!”

I organize my schedule to accommodate their needs, making sure they are well-cared for and happy. This routine not only helps keep them healthy but also provides me with a structured break from other tasks, offering moments of joy and relaxation. For my own pets, I follow a consistent routine that includes feeding them at regular times, providing fresh water, taking them for walks or play sessions, and ensuring they receive proper grooming and veterinary care. I also spend quality time with them to strengthen our bond and monitor their health and behavior closely. When caring for clients' pets in their homes, I adhere to the specific instructions provided by the pet owners. This usually involves feeding according to their schedule, maintaining their usual exercise routine, administering any required medications, and providing companionship. I make sure to respect the clients' homes and follow any house rules, ensuring their pets feel comfortable and safe in their familiar environment.

Austin W.
“Austin was great with our dogs! We have 2 high energy GSPs and he really helped tire them out when we didn’t have the time to! He took them on long walks and threw tennis balls with them regularly! He’s great, super loving with our fur babies, and very responsible! He was our go to guy until he moved!”


Desiree N.
“I can’t imagine a more trustworthy, loving, and responsible person to care for my pets than Desiree. From the very first interaction, her calm energy and genuine love for animals were impossible to miss. She treats every pet like her own—paying close attention to their individual needs, quirks, and routines. Desiree goes above and beyond just the basics. Whether it’s a long walk, an extra cuddle, or a quick check-in text to ease your mind, she puts care into every detail. My pets not only feel safe with her—they adore her. It’s rare to find someone so dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with the same love and respect you do, Desiree is the one. She’s more than a caretaker—she’s a trusted companion to your furry and non furry family.”
