About: I have one year experience working at a boarding and daycare facility! I also have past volunteer experience at my local Humane Society where I provided treats and blankets for the dogs. I grew up with my 12 and 7 year old labs and they are my best friends. I love getting to know new animals and making them feel comfortable with someone other than their owner! I would love to spend my free time caring for animals and making families feel more secure with who is treating their pets! I’m fairly flexible with scheduling. I am very easy going but can also be stern when needed. I would be very excited to let animals be themselves in their home and ensure that they are safe but also still enjoying their time with me!
“As an ER veterinary technician and and Rover pets that are myself, my standards and expectations for the pet sitter of my own pets is high. Not only did Kristin meet those standards,, succeeded them. I got plenty of pictures, updates and communication fromher all throughout the week. Needless to say we will be using Christine again.”
“Jenise watched my three cats for a week while I was traveling for Christmas. She sent plenty of photos and eased my mind that my fur babies were properly taken care of! When I came home all the cats had food and the litter boxes were clean! I can’t recommend Jenise enough - 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Growing up, I was raised with both dogs and cats. I learned the significance of their body language and social cues, which helped me in training and building a bond with them. This early experience shaped my approach to understanding animal behavior. I have experience with all ages and breeds of fur babies as well. I’m currently perusing a higher education which allows me to have an open and available schedule! I have two school aged children who are gone throughout the day as well. Regardless of service type, your fur baby will be treated like family with lots of love, scratches and cuddles. We love the lazy pets that don’t mind being couch bums but we also enjoy the energetic babies that enjoy chasing a ball or going for walks.
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. We grew up on a farm with 3 dogs and loved them to death. We love all dogs, all sizes. We own 2.5 acres where dogs can run and play and have an extra large utility room for grooming. Our family includes my wife and myself, our three kids and Scout, our furry baby rescue from Houston. She loves to play in the water and run with friends. I work from home so I get lots of time to play ball, walk, run and care for your furry loved one. I most enjoy throwing tennis balls and watching the dogs play chase. We have spent more money than we would like to admit, in order to best care for pups in our care. We have a 1200 sq/ft dog house with A/C, water, toys, large play area and kennels of various sizes. We are committed to providing commercial equipment to put safety as a top priority, while still offering the quality of care provided through residential boarding. We look forward to meeting dogs of all sizes and breeds. Hope our doggy retreat is as fun for your dog as it will be for us.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life . I love taking them for walks , or just cuddling on the couch . I’ve been around all ages puppies as well as the elderly ones. I do work a full time job , but have the flexibility to spend lunch breaks with the pets and my mornings and evenings are open . I have a fenced yard and two small dogs of my own . Can crate if necessary. Safety is always the goal no matter what.
About: I have cared for many neighborhood dogs, providing walks, feeding, and playtime while their owners are away. I have three dogs and several cats of my own, so I am very comfortable around animals and understand their needs. I love making sure pets feel safe, loved, and happy while in my care. I am currently going to college here in college station. This semester I am doing all online classes so this would fit my schedule perfectly. I would rather be at their house since I still live at home. But if needed and if I feel comfortable I would be fine going to the clients home
About: As a kid, I’d do research for my dogs to train them on my own. I’m now in a training dogs for the blind organization at A&M. I’m currently enrolled at Texas A&M majoring in animal science. I’m in a training group for dogs for the blind that meets every week and I get the opportunity to sit dogs and eventually will train one on my own. I also volunteer each week with Courtney Cares at A&M which is working around horses. I do as much volunteer opportunities for exotic animals aswell. My dogs are all crate trained and have a safe environment. If left out of the crate, I make sure anything that can harm them is put away. If the dog is kinda crazy then I make sure to not let them out of sight especially around other dogs. My dogs get fed twice a day with many treats for skills in the middle.
About: As someone deeply passionate about mental wellness and intentional living, I bring a calming, grounded energy to every pet I care for. Animals are incredibly intuitive, and I always meet them with patience, love, and respect for their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's peaceful walks, cozy companionship, or extra attention for anxious pets, I create a soothing environment that helps them feel safe and cared for while you're away. Your pets are family—and I treat them with the same heart-centered care I give in every part of my life. Pet care naturally fits into my daily life because it aligns with how I already move through the world—with intention, compassion, and calm. I prioritize routines that support emotional well-being, and spending time with animals brings a grounding, joyful rhythm to my day. Whether I’m working on my candle and apothecary projects or out for a walk, I find caring for pets adds purpose and peace to my routine. It’s not just a side job—it’s something I truly value and make space for with presence and heart. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety and respect are always my top priorities. I follow any routines or instructions closely, making sure pets feel secure and supported in their familiar space. I take time to get to know each animal’s personality and boundaries, and I always double-check doors, gates, and food instructions to prevent accidents. I treat every home with care—tidying up after myself, respecting privacy, and creating a calm, consistent environment that helps pets feel at ease while their humans are away.

Roy & Bethany D.Star Sitter
“Mr. D. is a very professional and focused person with the expertise and skillset that vastly exceeds the typical pet sitter or dog walker. He is not merely punctual, but early, never late. I would feel very comfortable with my dog and cat in his care.”
Heidi S.
“We have trusted Heidi with our dog and chickens for over ten years. She goes above and beyond when it comes to our pets care. She is good about giving our dog his medications and always ensures our chickens are fed and cared for, even going so far as cleaning their coop without us even asking. We can tell she loves and truly cares about our pets. She send pictures and videos which always makes us so happy to see. It is hard leaving our pets, but it is so comforting knowing we have Heidi looking after them.”
