“We really like Alicia! Alicia is very responsive and easy to work with. They sent us a report after the visit with a video of our kitties and took care of everything we requested. We’ve already booked Alicia for house sitting next!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life. I had 2 dogs and a cockatiel growing up that I helped care for. After I became older I have owned dogs, rats, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I also foster small animals for a local rescue and have found fantastic homes for over 50 small animals. I work a few hours a day from home so I have plenty of time to interact and take care of your pets & fur babies. I'm available most days and nights. I am self-employed and work from home so I can take care of your pets needs at any time of the day since my schedule is flexible. I personally have 2 dogs, a rabbit, chickens and ducks at my home so there are plenty of things to help keep your pets occupied and happy. I also foster small animals for a rescue I help out with. My yard is unfenced, but I live on a quiet street and have an open area across from my home to play fetch or throw a frisbee with your dogs and mine. In regards to caring for pets in your own home I follow any directions you give me for food/treat schedules, how often they need to go outside, things your pets can and cannot do, etc.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various kinds since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Currently I work on a 10 month contract. Therefore I have summer off so I have plenty of time to provide pet care to those in need of such services. I am a very trustworthy person who has tremendous respect for other people’s property and belongings. I especially respect pets with their needs and desires.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had many dogs and some cats as well. I can train puppies, have lots of patience with them, and can love on them all day long. I have 2 dogs. Someone is always home, so pups are never unattended. We have a 11 year old daughter as well who loves animals and loves to help care for them. We have 3 acres of land, and a log home. We have a cable to hook up dogs who like to wander, but can allow dogs to run loose if they are well trained.
About: I attended Animal Science BOCES program for 2 years, graduating with my diploma. I am experienced with critters of all kinds from snakes to rabbits! I am comfortable with all sizes, shapes. I have a wide range of time where I am available for morning, afternoon and night walks/meetings. I only work part time so I generally have more time compared to full time workers. I am always very gentle, inviting with all animals. I typically let the pet come to me first, getting my scent and then proceed to give them lots of love.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and sizes since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to do anything their pet needs while they’re away. In the future I’m looking to take a dog training course and slow transition into that as a full time job. Every morning I wake up and immediately tend to the dogs and let them outside to use the bathroom and play around, then we come Inside to eat breakfast to start the day. We go outside about 3x daily to potty and play. I have a big privacy fenced in yard for play time. I have 4 dogs of my own. However I typically do not let them converse with my boarding dogs unless known that they are friendly.
“Maggie is a great find!!! She is new to TX but done Rover in her previous state. I used her to do a dog walk at the park and my dogs had a great time. They were very excited to meet her and they listened to her. I often need a house sitter and we are going to book her this weekend. I highly recommend Maggie.”
About: I have had dog(s) since I was 9 years old, so I am extremely familiar with the amount of care and commitment it takes to look after them. I have a very flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to play with and walk your pups or care for your cats! I provide drop-in services and pet sitting in your home. Boarding at my home can be discussed if needed - I have 2 dogs and a fenced in yard.
“Sophia is a very conscientious sitter! We have two rescued kittens and they have not been socialized with any one but us since we got them just over a month ago. She came into our home and our heart when she spent the time to bond with both of them. She took awesome photos of both of them so we really got to see that they were happy. She did all that we asked of her and even dealt with a few unexpected things!”
“Kiki was kind, friendly, thoughtful and provided EXCELLENT care of our 2 cats in our home while we were away for over a week. She kept us informed and went above and beyond in letting us know how they were doing! She gave us the peace of mind that comes from being fully confident that she was going to be there for our pets. Check her out for your pet sitting needs. Kiki is the REAL DEAL ❤️”

Sari H.
“Sari has been helping us with the care of our dog for just over one year now. In addition to occasionally walking our pup and getting her to her grooming appointments on time, Sari does a phenomenal job boarding our dog. We feel comfortable going out of town knowing that Sari will take good care of our little girl! Sari is great with communication and updates us on how our pup is doing while we are away, and even sends the occasional photo! She pays careful attention to our dog's diet and gives her lots of love and attention. Our dog loves Sari so much that we have a hard time getting her to come back home with us after her walks or appointments!”
