Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Hillcrest

About: I’ve always had a special connection with animals and love caring for them. I was raised by a veterinary technician and accompanied my mom to the vet clinic when I was a toddler. She was always fostering dogs and I loved the looks on peoples faces when I told them I lived with 20 dogs at one point. I followed in her foot steps and worked at vet clinics throughout my high school and college years with the goal to become a veterinarian. I stopped at a bachelors in biology for my goals have changed, but my love for animals has never changed. I currently work for a vaccine clinic and pet sit for friends/family often carrying the knowledge my mom and other veterinary coworkers have taught me. I have experience in recognizing animal emotions and abnormal behavior. I can respond efficiently to emergencies. I can administer medications and adhere to special guidelines when it comes to disabled or senior pets. Having lived in a multi pet home, I can keep pets separated if needed for safety. My dog was not friendly with other animals, so know what it’s like to pay attention to environment on walks, etc. I don’t mind cleaning up often, accidents happen. I recently lost my baby to kidney disease. I miss having her around but am not ready for another dog. I would love to care for other pets! I work part time: Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays 9am-1pm and Saturdays 8am-3pm. I would love to spend my free time loving and caring for animals. I loved spoiling my dog and others with lots of love. My dog shared a bed with me, using a blanket and pillow like a human. She always got a bite of my food, if safe, and was never low on treats. She often got a new toy, for she destroyed them quick. I enjoyed sitting outside with her so she could sunbathe. For more activity, I took her on walks around the neighborhood or nearby trails. A car ride for a pup cup is something I don’t mind doing. When caring for family/friends pets I always ensure to give extra loving and patience, for they are probably wondering where their owners are.

“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”

“April is the best pet sitter you could ask for. Professional, prompt and she pampers my pets. I think my pets look forward to me being out of town just so they can see her!”

“Ericka did an amazing job looking after our 3 kitties! She is clearly very experienced, loves animals, was very communicative and took great pics. Our kitties are normally really shy and she was able to get them to eat and come out. Very happy with Ericka and will hook again!”

“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my cat for two weeks. I was worried about leaving my kitty alone for that long but everything turned out fine. The daily updates and pictures I received reassured me that my cat was in good hands. I won’t hesitate to use Karen’s services again.”

“Eric is definitely my No.1 sitter choice! He was caring and followed all the instructions we left for him. He communicated throughout his visits. I would highly recommend Eric to watch your fur buddies!!!!”

About: My parents bred/showed dogs all my life so I grew up with dogs in all stages of life around and also have experience training and showing. I have a 2 yr old dog who does agility and diving. I'd love the opportunity to hang out with your pet. Im not currently working as I am disabled but am looking for something to help me be more active. I'll have plenty of time to hang with your pet. Im available pretty much any time with some notice. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I will respect your home and am big on following whatever directions you have for me for their care.

“Olivia was wonderful. She arrived on time. Made sure my fur babies were well cared for. I highly recommend Olivia and I will use her again.”

“Taylor was the absolute sweetest and best caretaker for my Sunnie! She made sure to track every walk with Sunnie, gave a detailed explanation for every trip made, and made sure to send pictures. She took the best care of Sunnie and gave her all the cuddles. Made my trip so stress-free not having to worry about my dog, or message her to make sure everything was going okay because she was doing that without me asking! Need a Rover sitter, book her!”

“I’ve booked Alexandria multiple times and I completely trust her with my kitties! She’s so patient with them and never hesitates to ask questions when needed. We will continue to book her to drop in and check in on our fue babies 🥰”

“Hollie took care of our dog and our foster puppy. She sent lots of pictures and videos, and it looks like fun was had by all. Hollie is an incredible dog sitter! Thanks!”

“This was our second time booking Sam, and once again, he was fantastic. He’s incredibly reliable and took great care of our dog, Roberta, while we were away for a quick weekend trip. I was especially nervous this time because our longtime dog, Noah, recently passed away, and this was Roberta’s first time being left alone. Sam was thoughtful and attentive—he sent lots of adorable photos that showed she was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of playtime. One thing that really stood out was that he left a kind little personal message on our doorbell camera before leaving. It was such a simple gesture but meant a lot. It showed us how much he genuinely cares. Sam treats our home and our pets with respect and kindness. He’s great with animals, communicates well, and gives us real peace of mind. We trust him completely, Roberta adores him, we look forward to the next time soon! Thank you again Sam! :)”

“Kristin D. provided excellent care for our dogs during our absence. Being first-time leave-at-home pet owners, we were initially hesitant, but Kristin diligently sent us regular photo updates, which greatly reassured us. We are highly satisfied with her service and intend to engage her again in the future.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jessica took such wonderful care of our cat during drop-in visits and truly went above and beyond what we expected. Her communication was exceptional she sent updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. You could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”

About: I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters so I know how to handle cats and dogs and tend to their needs. I have babysat dogs for my family, family friends and neighbors. I’ve gone to check in on their puppies. I am a full time student in school to be a Veterinarian. I have taken care of many different animals such as dogs, cats, ferrets, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep’s, goats and reptiles. I have my certification to give intramuscular, intravenous, and subcutaneous injections to fulfill your pets needs. I am a full time college student. I only go to school two days out of the week during the morning time. So I will be able to stay home the rest of the time to care for your babies. We wake up let the dogs outside, let them back in to eat and then go back outside sometimes we will play outside will the ball. Our older dogs like to stay inside.

“Allison was great! I booked her very last minute, and she still made time to come over to do a greet and meet. She’s clearly a dog lover, and our pups instantly fell in love with her. And very affordable rates! 10/10 would rebook in the future!”

About: I have experience taking care of family, neighbors, and friends pets. This includes cats, dogs, exotic animals, fish, and farm animals. Your pet's well being is my first priority! I just finished up a veterinary assistant school program. I am preparing to move to college station in 2 months. In the meantime I am volunteering at animal rescues, serving my local cat population, and volunteering at a bat refuge. Even then, I have an excess amount of free time. When I am in a clients home I respect a pet's space by reading their body langauge. I honor their basic needs and make sure that they get some quality time and love. If a pet has any special needs I am more than happy to accommodate. I love to learn new things!

About: I’ve been the resident dog sitter in my friend group for the last decade. I typically stay in their homes so the animals can stay in their own comfortable environment! I love taking them on walks or just laying around the house together! Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I work from home so if I am sitting at yours, all I need is a WiFi connection and I can be present and attentive! I live in an apartment but have a schedule which allows for regular playtime and potty breaks! If I stay at your house you also may see some clean counters and organized fridge (bit of a tidy upper :))

About: I have always been the go-to person for many of my family and friends to go and feed the dogs or hang out with them. I grew up with dogs and always understood cues on when to give space or when they needed something! I adopted my dog almost two years ago and immediately started dog walking with her and later did basic training. At the moment, I work part-time from 1:00-6:30pm. My mornings are free during the week and I try to stay available for weekends. I am more likely to accept a new request with at least a week advanced notice, I will try to be flexible if that is not possible. In other pet owners home, I will make sure to follow any guided directions or precautions in order to ensure trust and safety in the home environment. In my home, I keep areas clean and free of anything harmful to dogs. I throw toys away that are damaged or could cause harm because of damage. I give lots of enrichment through feeding games, training inside and outside, and toys that allow her to use her brain! I make sure she eats well and drinks plenty of water while getting lots of outside time!

“Sarah took such great care of our cat Phoebe! Daily I received texts and pictures. I definitely would use Sarah’s services again if I need a responsible caregiver for our animals.”
