Brittany does an amazing job taking care of our older german shepherd. She has pet sat for us many times now, and we have been more than happy every time. We truly feel our girl could not be in better hands, and that is coming from someone who does not like to leave our pup. We feel very at ease when she is left in Brittany's care, its easy to see her love for animals. Brittany is extremely reliable, she is very communicative/quick to respond, and has always been very flexible with our needs. Thank you Brittany for all the care and attention you give our girl. We are lucky to have found you, and appreciate everything you do for us.

Mace is an absolute godsend! Suga was diagnosed with diabetes 4 days before we were due to leave on a week long vacation. Twice a day shots added to an already extensive medication routine and Mace handled it all with no problems including a vet visit for a glucose curve test! Mace came out several times before we left to make sure Suga was comfortable with him and so he could watch the feeding/medication process. Kept us well-informed on Suga each day and took great care of the house and plants. We and Suga couldn’t have been happier and we all highly recommend Mace!

About: Howdy! I’m a PhD student in medical entomology who brings a calm, detail-oriented approach to pet care. For the past three years, I’ve fostered dogs with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and senior pups who need a little extra patience and TLC. From medication schedules to enrichment and daily walks, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away 🥰 While my PhD keeps me busy, finding time to walk, play, and care for your pet is something I truly look forward to and see as a refreshing and rewarding part of my routine. My schedule allows for consistent morning and evening care, and I’m intentional about making time for walks, enrichment, and quality attention. My fish keep me company for now, so you can bet your dog will have my full attention! I’m intentional about building trust so your dog still feels at home while you’re away.

Crystal is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Within 10 seconds of our first meet and greet, I could tell Apollo felt safe with her. She takes such good care of him, gives him all the love, and sends the cutest photo updates. I know I’m leaving him in the best care when she’s watching him. Can’t recommend her enough!!

Betty stayed with our 3 dogs over the long weekend and did a wonderful job. She was very attentive to my instructions for the dogs care and the pups were happy and relaxed when we got home. We will definitely ask Betty to stay with our pups again!

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 spent my childhood taking care of God's creatures and at 24, I graduated College with honors as a Veterinary Technician. From Farm Animals to Ranch Animals to Companion Animals & Exotics, I love all creatures great and small and have the medical and technical experience to care for them. I am currently making my way across the United States from Houston to Washington State and am looking for places to house- and pet-sit along the way. I have a 30 lb Australian Shepherd named Hazel and a 5lb domestic short-haired Caliby named Blueprint, a caring heart and a desire to take time to appreciate the journey north. I have an energetic, friendly Australian Shepherd mix who loves toys, running and meeting new friends. She is comfortable being lose, but also has a crate for the times when her new friends are a little shy or don't care for new pets. My cat enjoys her time inside her HUGE kennel and, unless invited by other cats, prefers to keep to herself. I travel with a pet first-aid kit, work remotely and have all the time in the world to care for my new pet friends on my journey.

About: I've taken care of many dogs ever since I was 8. My grandparents owned a medium sized dog breeding company so I would spend my time feeding, bathing, walking, nurturing, and playing with dogs and pups. I did this for many years. As of right now I am free at any time of the day/week from Sun up to Sun down allowing me to be contacted and or take care of animals at any time. I have a fenced in yard in which my dog runs around freely whenever she wants to go out and is allowed inside at all times. I take good care of any animal wether it be a dog, cat, ferret, snake, etc. and always check in with the owners if anything were to happen. I'm also very patient and caring for all animals alike.

Lauren took care of our three cats, bearded dragon, and two dogs. One of our cats takes daily medication, one has cancer, and our dogs are fairly high maintence and energetic. Lauren was super communicative, sent lots of pictures, and put up with my slightly crazy dog owner antics 😅 She stayed at our home for a week and it was just as clean as it was when we left. She followed my booklet of instructions (sorry girl 😅) and was quick to contact me with any questions or problems. I am a nervous freak about leaving my animals and she did a great job. I was at ease with her watching them and 100% will have her back.

About: I have owned and cared from a hamster to a horse. I also have worked with exotic animals ranging from livestock to reptiles. I would be honored to care for your zoo as if they were my own. I work remotely so I am able to be available at various times. I currently am available on a three week rotation and can provide dates for the full year if needed. I wont treat your home like my own. I will treat your home with much more care and respect because it is not my home, It is your home and I'm being trusted to be there with your loved ones while away and I will do so.
