“Marjorie was amazing with my kitties! They were relaxed around her and that was a true sign to me that she was a real animal lover! She was very prompt with her responses and I can tell that she is a wonderful human too! Would highly recommend entrusting her to take care of your fur babies!”
“Ciera looked after our kitties (drop-ins) again when we were travelling and did an amazing job! She takes good care of the cats, makes sure everyone eats, and that the litter boxes stay clean. We'll definitely book her again. :)”
About: I am an animal lover at heart and have taken care of all pup age ranges for most of my life. I have two dogs of my own and a fenced in backyard! I have experience with some basic manners, potty training and medication administration. Let me be your furry friends’ home away from home! I am currently a stay at home mom with a lot of time on my hands! I would love nothing more than to fill my time with furry friends! I have a fenced in backyard in a safe and quiet neighborhood and two fur babies to give your pet playtime and company! Pets are allowed on the furniture and we have a safe, pet friendly home!
“Maddilynn did an excellent job watching over Kiwi again! She has quickly become Kiwi’s favorite. Maddilynn sent such great photos of the cat warming up to her and having a great time all around. She also helped us come up with an emergency plan when an unexpected storm hit town. Though we didn’t have to use it, it was such a huge relief to know while we were across the country that Kiwi was safe and had somebody looking out for her. I’m sure Kiwi is looking forward to the next time we can book Maddilynn!”
“So incredibly grateful for these two! They were able to check on my puppy last minute no problem! They sent me lots of photos, communicated well and spent lots of time playing with my fur baby! Forever thankful for them!”
“Zoe did awesome with my two dogs and came through on a short notice. They enjoyed her company and let her get far better pictures of them than I have been able to! She will take good care of your pets and is trustworthy!”
About: I currently work as an animal caretaker for TTU, and I have worked at a vet clinic as well as a doggy daycare in the past. I have experience with animals of all different shapes, sizes, ages, behaviors, and quirks. I love what I do and I love all the little friends I’ve made along the way. I am able to administer medication, bathe, and whatever else may be needed. I’m more than grateful to have the opportunity to look after people’s loved ones. I work full time at TTU 8a-5p every week day. I am free to drop in before work, during my lunch hour, and anytime after I’m off. My schedule is flexible enough to meet your needs. I understand every animal has their own needs. I am happy to abide by the rules you set in place or the habits of your babies to keep them happy and healthy while in my care.
About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember due to my family being a large animal/pet family! I regularly care for and walk my friends and neighbors animals! I am a college student with a ton of down time and free time in general. I am always free after 12pm and usually only have classes for at most 3 hours in the mornings! I believe pets and animals in general should be treated the same way you would treat someone’s child! I am very flexible with care plans and very respectful of everyone’s pets! I have my own animal baby and would be very upset if he was treated with nothing but respect and love!
“Hailey has been amazing both times she has watched our cats! She is super accommodating and kind and took great care of them while we were gone.”
About: I have worked at an animal hospital since 2022, where I was responsible for taking care of animals that had boarded, which included tasks like walking them, cleaning their cages/runs, feeding them, bathing and making sure they weren’t too stressed. It could fit pretty easily into my schedule as I adapt pretty well to different circumstances so if I needed to be at a place at an unusual time I wouldn’t mind. I would respect the owners home and clean up any accident that their pet could have made and take out their animal based on how often they needed to be taken out and make sure they weren’t displaying any abnormal behavior.
“Bev’s first visit Louie went very well! I look forward to booking more visits with her as Louie is a special behavioral needs pup. I am hopeful he will bond with Bev.”
“We greatly appreciate everything that Daniel did for our cats while we were away. He took great care of them and sent us photos every day so we knew they were ok. We would definitely use Daniel again!”
About: I've had many dogs ranging from senior to puppy and love them all with their different quirks. All animals require something different and am willing to jump in to whatever they need! I am currently a freshman at TTU in the Pre-veterinary track. Outside of my set class schedule I am free to whenever you need me! I love walking dogs and playing with them. Whatever you ask such as crating I am more than willing to take care of. I do not mind I will listen to what your pet needs and make it happen.
About: I have been pet sitting for 5+ years, I have experience with animals of all ages and all sizes, and I am comfortable with multiple animals at once. I promise to love on and take care of your babies like you do! I just finished school and am job hunting, so I have lots of time to love on your fur babies!! I can come to you any time during the day/week and walk, feed, or overnight sit your pets! I will spend lots of time playing with, walking, feeding, and caring for your pets each visit I make. I am passionate about animals getting the proper amount of time spent with them while owners are away, so you don't need to worry about me just dropping in and doing the bare minimum then leaving, and that's a promise!
About: Throughout my life, I have gained extensive experience in animal care, having owned and cared for a diverse range of animals, including newborn puppies and kittens, elderly and sick pets, as well as various breeds of dogs and cats. I have flexible availability to provide top-notch care for your pets, ensuring their needs and schedules are met with professionalism and compassion. No pet to big no pet to small As a responsible and compassionate pet sitter, I offer a secure metal fenced-in backyard where your fur babies can play safely. My affectionate dog and cat will keep your pets company. I am also happy to accommodate any special needs or requirements your pets may have.
About: If it's love they want, I give and if it's to be left alone, I can control myself, I promise! I do not have training experience but I have cared for many animals in need of special care in the past. I am a mother of three and they are all in school most part of the day. Activities and school events will arise, however, I will never let it interfere with my responsibilities. Should I care for your fur babies at my home and leave for drop off and pick ups, I am more than happy to use my small traveling kennels or use theirs if traveling is safe for them. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule has more so become a routine rather anything else and so should there be a minor change I will give notice with ample time. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your pet if needed but, at the moment, I do only have one small kennel and a small traveling kennel as well. I do not invite your pets to get on furniture but I also do not turn away cuddles and snuggle, and kisses on any piece of furniture. My oldest is 15, followed by middle child who is 11. My youngest is 4 but he is the most loving and gentle kid because he has grown with Chihuahuas and has learned that not all pets should be played with in any way not invited.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have been caring for pets professionally for over 8 years. From daily walks to overnight stays, I treat every pet like family—offering consistent, compassionate care that suits their individual needs. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and always aim to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m currently on break from being a full time student at Texas Tech University looking for some work this summer. I have a full availability and can tend to your pets needs all day long! My strongest pet care services are: feeding, walking, brushing, playing, and providing medications. I am very flexible and am open to other needs beyond this list.
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies! It’s truly appreciated!”
“I have cameras throughout my house and so I occasionally was able to look in on Owen. I could see that he genuinely cared about my cats and gave them lots of attention. I gave him instructions about the house, and he followed them to the T. I would definitely hire him again.”

Christa S.
“Christa is the best dog person I know. I don’t think she’s met a dog she doesn’t love. We have two, a golden and an old cantankerous Pom. She’s so patient with the Pom and is more than capable of managing both. She has watched the dogs and the house while we’re out of town and is always conscientious and thoughtful, sending regular updates with pictures. She is our first pick any time we need someone to watch the house or the dogs.”

Knowing they were in her hands gave me complete peace of mind. Kinley is responsible, attentive, and treats each of my dogs like her own. She also sent me pictures and called me anytime I was missing my babies extra. I’m truly grateful for her and would trust her with them any time.”
