About: The obvious reason, I LOVE DOGS and being around ALL animals . every dog has a unique personality which makes all of them special and all dogs have something different to offer pet lovers. I also love to be outdoors playing and walking them. I walk a lot any way, might as well have a furry companion. I can pretty much set my own schedule (within reason). I also don't have any obligations, other than my husband. I feel like this would feel a void in my life and help give to purpose. I like to use hand commands but verbal is fine also I have been a pet owner for quite sometimes, no current pets, some very high energy, some old and arthritic and on medication I perfer smaller dogs if they come to my house. The house is mostly empty, it’s just me and my husband. I have also sat for cats, turtles, lizards, goats horses and all types of pasture animals. Big or small, I do it all. I’m retired airline employee, so, I’m pretty flexible with my time and schedule. We currently don’t have any pets because we enjoy our travel time. If we’re not traveling you can always catch me on someone’s ranch helping out with their critters. I really prefer watching the animals at the clients home because that’s where they feel most comfortable. I don’t mind bringing the pets to my home, if they are on the smaller side. Of course, if it’s something on the bigger side, ie, like livestock, I would be at the client’s home.

“Brittany is always SO quick to respond, willing to be flexible, and wonderful to work with. I’ve booked walks with her probably 20+ times, and my pup & I both are happily returning customers! Thank you Brittany!!!”

About: My name is Lindsey and I am 22 yrs old. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past eight years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I also offer a house cleaning service on the side :) If interested, please get in touch. Usually use Venmo as payment, if that is something you’re comfortable with My schedule currently is very open. I am only cleaning a couple houses a week and enrolled in as a part-time student. I am accepting day-of requests, however, it’s in my better favor if notified about a 3 days-a week in advance. I have a cat of my own who stays inside. As I would love to offer your pet to stay at my home, I unfortunately live in a lease that doesn’t allow dogs. I am only able to offer drop-in visits, and willing to stay with the pet if needed.

About: I’ve cared for my own dog, T-Bone, for over 5 years and understand the daily needs of dogs of all ages. I also have experience walking and pet-sitting for friends and neighbors. In addition, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped walk dogs, clean kennels, and comfort animals in a high-stress environment. That hands-on experience taught me how to handle dogs with a wide range of temperaments and needs—including shy rescues, excitable puppies, and older dogs. I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a part-time job with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine. Since I already care for my own dog daily, walks and pet care naturally fit into my everyday life. Whether it’s a quick midday walk or an evening stroll, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the attention and exercise they need! When I’m caring for a dog, their safety and comfort come first. I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, avoid high-traffic or overly crowded areas, and never take on more dogs than I can safely handle at once. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, energy level, and triggers so I can tailor the walk to their needs. In a client’s home, I treat the space with care and respect, making sure pets are calm, happy, and safe while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you always know your pet is in good hands!

“Once again Megan T. delivered excellent service. She was punctual, and the dogs adore her. She is a young teacher earning extra dollars on breaks and weekends. So whenever your regular walker isn't available on a weekend, please give this lady a try!”

“Thank you so much!”

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!

“Buster and I love Lezlie! It's been such a great piece of mind to know that he's getting some exercise and a potty break when I am stuck at work all day. She always gives good updates after their walks, and it brightens my day! Thanks Lezlie!”

About: I have trained puppies before and even helped deliver them I've also helped deliver kittens as well I love all kinds of animals and pets I have pet sitter over the night before and never got a complaint from the owners I love animals energy and they love mine animals and pets are like my best friends in the world. I can work on any day at any time of the week and I can work on holidays also weekends at any time I'm always available I will feed,walk,and even play with them my yard is fenced in I will give all my love and attention to the pets and I will make sure to keep the owner updated about their pet at all times if needed be

About: I have been taking care of animals pretty much my whole life! I grew up with 2 cats, and later on two dogs. My very fist dog Max was a shelter rescue so my family and I got to nurture and love on him, truly taught me the compassion and kindness that is needed when working with any animal. Several years later we adopted Runner as puppy, so I understand the struggles of training a puppy and navigating their energetic personalities. Today Runner is much, much older.. he is a senior dog, he is much less energetic but still enjoys peaceful strolls in the park and lots of cuddles and treats. While Runner was still young, he would go on long runs with me, so if you have a very energetic dog I am more than willing to go runs with him or her. I have pet sit for several of my neighbors, friends and family, each with their own special instructions but I enjoy every second of it. I cannot wait to meet all of your furry friends. I am currently a full time student at Texas A&M University, studying Neuroscience on the pre medical track. I am on summer break, so my schedule is pretty much all free! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walking, and playtime, and ensure they have plenty of love and attention. I keep the home clean and secure, using only pet-friendly products and monitoring for hazards. Communication is key—I’ll provide regular updates to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and happy, so they feel right at home in my care! As a pet owner myself I understand the level of trust needed to allow someone else to care for our pets.

About: I have never cat sat before but I am willing to take the learning curve and expand my work experience. I do take pride in going out of my way for past clients to make the service given pleasant and smooth. Many if not all visits will be before the very start of my day and towards the end as well. I can do two visits a day no problem and if close enough I could sign out during lunch to do a day visit if location is close enough. In my home our pets roam freely around the 40 acres that we live on. We do have a small fenced in area that could be used. But willing to take pets on walks across the property.

“Katie did GREAT with Gracie. They played fetch, tug of war, and Gracie was happy to see her the second day. Such a nice help!!”

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.
