“Christa did an amazing job with both my guinea pigs. She followed my instructions and everything was cleaned and organized when I got back. She left the sweetest notes and took pictures of them so I know they were cared for. I’m really happy with how everything turned out”

“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!”

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.
“Ciera was truly amazing while I was away! They kept me updated with photos of my cats every day, which really put my mind at ease. They and their girlfriend even took time to play with the cats, making sure they stayed happy and engaged while I was gone. They went above and beyond by cleaning up messes (such as when a large plant got knocked over). I honestly hadn’t expected all they did, but I really appreciate them!”

“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!”

“Marjorie was great with Queso, our 15-year-old cat. She took care of Queso when we were out of town, letting her get her daily purr-time in. Queso has found a new buddy!”

About: I have been around animals all my life and will ask to pet any animal I see! I have watched many of my friends animals and have spoiled them tremendously! I go to Texas Tech and I have class on the weekdays till around 1 pm! I am free on most weekends for all day! I currently live in a dorm but I am happy to take them anywhere needed and can walk around campus or your home if needed!
About: Hi I’m Ella! I’ve been taking care of pets since I’ve been able to walk. I will take care of other pets to the best of my abilities. I’m currently a college student however, I have a bunch of free time and I’m looking forward to taking care of other pets to the best of my abilities. My pets are back in my hometown. I don’t have any pets here in Lubbock. I will take care of pets at my clients home. I will use pet supplies based on what’s in my clients home. If needed, I will purchase pet supplies to help take care of the pets.
“Zoe did a fantastic job taking care of our baby!! We will definitely hire her again. Our dog loved her and was the most happy and well cared for that she has ever been when we’ve been out of town.”

“Emma was such an outstanding dog sitter for me while I was out of town. She did everything I asked her too, really cared for my dogs, and my dogs really loved her. She was willing to do anything to meet my dogs’ needs. She even dropped in an extra time because one of my dogs had escaped from the backyard, and I asked her if she could let the dog back in and was at my house in no time to let the dog back in. I cannot not thank Emma enough and so glad that I found her.”

About: I grew up taking care of animals from horses, to dogs, to cats, and even litters of puppies! Whether it’s day to day care or a pet who needs some extra attention, I’m confident in my abilities! I’m currently a full time graduate student at Tech, which leaves me the perfect schedule to work with your pets needs! This means whether you’re looking for daily walks or more extensive care, I’m available! I have confidence and experience working with large dogs - including my own! I also have experience with nervous pets who might need a more personal experience.
About: I have almost 2 years of clinical experience in a veterinary hospital. As well as having my Certified Veterinary Assistant(CVA) license. I am currently studying animal science and plan on going to vet school. I am currently going to school full time but my schedule allows for plenty of time in the morning and afternoon for your wonderful pets. I currently live in a dorm so I will not be doing any boarding at this time. I believe when taking care of an animal it is best to keep their routine. I strive to take care of animals in the way their owners do.
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.
“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!”
