“Christina was wonderful. She really cares about our dogs. We received texts when she arrived/finished and texted us photos during the visit as well. It was a great experience.”


“Relocating from Los Angeles to Tyler for my residency at UT Tyler was stressful, and I was especially worried about leaving my fur babies, Luna P and Washington, with a sitter during the holidays for a whole week. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Raul. He kept me updated throughout the week with pictures and thoughtful texts, even asking for specific details to ensure he was meeting my pets' needs. Raul was on top of everything, and it was clear he truly cared about my bbs. Washington, who is very shy and nervous around strangers, warmed up to Raul by day three and was even playing with him! Knowing my pets were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time with family, without any worries. I highly recommend Raul. He is trustworthy, responsible, and reliable—qualities I truly appreciated during such a busy and stressful time.”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat, and bearded dragon. I also spent a year working at a kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with pups and kitties of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat your pet like family. When I’m not caring for animals, I love playing video games, writing, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) friend! I’m currently a full-time homemaker, which means I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! It’s always been my dream to open up an animal rescue, so this is just another great step in that direction! I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets when going on vacation or a needed trip somewhere, but I can promise you’ll be leaving them in good hands, and that you’ll receive frequent pictures, updates, and anything else to ease your mind!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 13. From taking care of neighbors dogs and cats to raising my own cows and pigs, I have experience with every animal under the sun. I now work in the veterinary industry so I can identify any problematic symptoms while your pet is in my care. I will strive to make your baby happy and comfortable as long as I am responsible for them! I only work part time, so I have flexibility in my schedule. I am available all day on Sunday and after 2 on Saturdays. After 3 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and after 5 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am comfortable accommodating your pet in any way they need, from going on walks in the neighborhood to administering medicines daily. Let me know what your baby needs, and I will get it done!

“Carly was fantastic! I was initially a bit nervous about leaving in the morning and having her come by later in the day, but she handled everything with professionalism and care. It was clear from the start that she’s resourceful, smart, considerate, and truly loves animals. I now feel like my pets have a second ‘mom’ who I can trust to be there when I can’t. Look no further—you’ve found the perfect pet sitter!”


About: I have taken care of pets more than half my life. I am willing to take care of them however you need. They will get the care as if they were my own. I truly love animals! I am off for the summer and I am very flexible. I am available whenever is needed. I prefer to watch your pet at your house but I am also flexible with that. The dog will be able to be out all the time. We are at home all the time. Your dog will be treated very well in our home!

“Aleisa is such a pleasure to work with. Friendly and engaging. Puts Wendy’s timid personality first when interacting. Definitely makes time to make us feel comfortable with leaving and Wendy feel safe when we are gone. So grateful to have found her.”

“Kenda did a great job taking care of our kitties and communicating with questions or issues. Every was left in order and was sure to keep track of the kitties! Will request again!”


“Megan took great care of our cat, Tiny. We got so many adorable pictures throughout the week and it was clear that Tiny got all of the attention she needed, (which is really impressive because she is not like most cats. She needs a LOT of attention. Like a lot). Will definitely be booking Megan again!!”


“Micah did an amazing job looking after Jefferson! I received prompt check ins and updates with photos as well!! I love the communication that was provided! This is the second time I have used Micah and will continue to request him! He is very trustworthy and I am so grateful!!”


“This was my first time using Rover and Kaylun was great with my dog MJ! She came by for daily drop-in visits while my family was on vacation and was always very communicative. She also came by beforehand for a quick meet and greet with MJ, which made us all feel more comfortable. I highly recommend her and would hire again!”


About: We have a passion for animals. We have a large fenced yard. We have an extremely pet friendly home and we are very attentive. If you trust us with your pets, you can be assured they will be treated like they were our own. They will have no shortage of love and attention and fun. We have always had dogs. We have a long haired Daschund and a little Chihuahua mix who are spoiled rotten. We work full time but have very flexible jobs and we work close to home so we can be very flexible with your pets schedule. We are an open book and can be contacted whenever you need us. We like to take pictures and would be happy to show you how much fun your pets are having while you are away.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and got on of my own when I was in college. Growing up around and with dogs has been something that I love about about my up bringing. Dogs add so much to a family and are life long companions. Getting puppy while a full time college student and having a part time job was hard, but taught me how to manage my time and make my dog training efficient. Now she is almost 4 and is my best friend. Leaving town and having someone watch your best friend can be nerve racking, but I am here to love your furry friend like my own! I believe in efficient play time and enrichment for your animals to help make your time apart not so difficult. As a teacher, I am only busy from 7:30 - 5 each day. Some weekends I may be gone traveling, but I would love to check in on your furry friend when I can! Sometimes pets can be unpredictable and it is important that you stay calm and let them warm up to you. It is important to me to build that trust on the first visit to ensure the animal feels safe.

About: I have so much energy for walks and training puppies I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 15 Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, training and bathe their pets I have a mariachi band and we just work on Saturdays, we have a big indoor space and 2 large outdoor spaces for the animals I like to play ball with the dogs in the fenced-in yard at least twice a day to expend their energy. I like to have meal times and also a little training in case it's a puppy, I always have fresh water and toys

“She worked with me with my 3 puppers, and was able to drop in without meeting them ahead and made them feel so safe and happy. One of my little ones has bad anxiety and I’m so grateful to her that she came and saw them in the middle of my long shift and gave them an outside break to play!”


About: My husband and I love animals! We are patient and well-equipped to care for your pet! We like to pay close attention to what animals need, so we will be able to follow your specific guidelines and schedules. We have a fenced backyard where they can play, but they will be inside with air conditioning most of the day unless otherwise requested by you. We have 3 dogs that love making new friends and will love to meet and play with your pup! We can provide treats and can adapt to your specific training needs (treats for good behavior, or anything else you do with your pup). We can feed/water per your pup's normal schedule (good for younger pups). They will have plenty of play time, or quiet time- depending on your request. We are very excited to meet and care for your family! We have two toddlers who love animals and love to be outside. Caring for our pets is a top priority on a daily basis. Apart from the occasional errand or play date, we like to stay home and relax. We have a large fenced yard with plenty of room to roam. We have room inside to crate your pet if needed or they can roam the house with the other pups!

About: I've taken care of dogs professionally as a dog walker, bather and daycare attendant for the past 7 years. I've worked with seniors, puppies, disabled and special needs dogs. I understand how to care for anxious dogs and make sure they're well taken care of while they're parents are away. Working with pets is my full-time gig, so I'll have plenty of time to hang out with your dogs and make sure they get all the attention they deserve. I like to spend a lot of time with the dogs that I'm sitting. I give them my full attention by playing inside and outside (if there's a backyard), taking them on long walks and just hanging out in their presence.

About: Pets ranging from horses to fish, I have personally owned and/or cared for. I am a certified TVMA veterinary technician and I have a college Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Science from A&M. My passion for animals if lovingly strong and will always be so. I’ve been told I have a gentle hand and a soft heart and I would hope you would agree after allowing me to care of your precious four legged fur babies. I like a detailed listed and/or demonstration of how you like your pets or plants taken care of. Thank you for taking your time and I look forward to meeting you and your pets. I am currently working at Lindale Animal Hospital in Lindale TX. I am full time and my work hours are the same as the clinic. The clinic is closed on Wednesday and the weekends. I wouldn’t mind driving out of the way to or from work. I am flexible and will try to best fit your schedule and preferences when described. I try to care for the animals as close to the owner as possible. Meaningful time spent with them, treats if allowed, and frequent potty breaks and walks. My animals are definitely spoiled (maybe too much!) but always loved and well fed. All the animals in my care are closely watched and if anything worrisome occurs, the owner will be informed and we would take moves forward according to the owner.
