“Marjorie is amazing with her genuine care and quality time she spends with our fur babies as well as doing what she says she will. Which we should shout from the rafters these days. Highly, highly recommend!!!!!”


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!

“Ciera is great! She’s patient with my moody doberman and doesn’t mind my mouthy schnauzer. It had been a while between visits, and Ziva was clearly excited to see her again! Thank you again for the specialized care you gave my pups!”


“Great at communicating. Reliable. The animals all seem to be no worse for the wear from the family being away. :-) Thank you for taking care of our furries!”


“Katherine was super polite and I could tell she was a dog lover. My pup instantly liked her and they got along all weekend. She even brought her a toy and stayed a little longer to play with her. Will definitely use Katherine from now on.”


“I needed Cassidy’s help last minute, and she was so responsive and helped me out in a lurch! She sent pictures, and Ginsburg had so much fun!”


“This was my first time using Rover and my first time leaving my fur baby with anyone except for family. I was super apprehensive with leaving him with a stranger. However, Maddilynn made it easy. She provided lots of photos, reassuring messages, and updated report cards will definitely be using her for any trips in the future.”


“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!”


“Jennifer was great with our 3 large dogs! I was looking for someone with experience with dogs that can be rowdy/sometimes intimidating and was so nervous looking for someone new to introduce our dogs to but Jennifer was a perfect match and our dogs loved her. She was great at communication too. Her experience with large breed dogs made me feel very confident and will definitely use her again!”


“Christa did a great job and our cat was very happy and comfortable around her.”



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.”


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.

“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: 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.

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies! It’s truly appreciated!”


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.

About: Since I was a kid I took care of the pets in my family and have been trusted by friends to help care for theirs when they’ve gone out of town. I have done training with my dogs so I understand dog behavior. I am a college student at Texas Tech and am off for the summer so I have availability any time and any day of the week for the rest of the summer! For my dogs I set up a loving and safe environment for them so they can roam freely. I spend plenty of time ensuring they are happy and healthy.

“Alexandra went ABOVE AND BEYOND! She babysat our puppy who can be a mess! Alexandra was very accommodating and very flexible. We had some issues that were unexpected and she helped out so much taking care of our baby. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else watching Toffee (:”

Time spent with dogs is primetime for him, but he's great with cats, rodents, reptiles ... you name it. Compassionate, kind, attentive and hospitable all describe very well how Owen interacts with animals. Add to that the fact that he is a remarkably responsible young man, and you have someone who I'm happy to have take care of any or all of my animals.”
