About: Caring for pets is incredibly rewarding. Their happiness makes every effort worth it, and the love they give in return is truly special. I have cared for multiple pets including senior pets! I am currently a full-time student at Texas A&M but I will make time for you and your pet! Just let me know when I’m needed!! My weekends are usually free as well! I am very responsible and have great time management skills!! I know every pet is different, so every pet requires different needs. I make it my priority to make sure I will be able to provide those needs so your furry friends stay comfortable! I have a fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs and cats! I am available to crate your dog if needed.
“I’m super grateful to Reagan for taking such great care of my cats while I was out of town!

About: I have cared for animals of all sizes from show animals for FFA to caring for reptiles of all kinds. I have been a animal lover since childhood growing up with large dog breed like English mastiffs and various animals like cats, bearded dragons, and rabbits! I’m currently preparing for college and my schedule is wide open to do check-ins or even sit with your animals for extended periods of time. I offer all services to fit your animals needs such as check-ins, walks, and even overnight stays if needed for your animals. I am mindful of all instructions especially when it comes to animals on a special diet, and I am experienced in giving medications.
About: My family got our first puppy when I was only four years old, and for the last six years, I have taken care of three family dogs in addition to three cats. After living with so many animals for such a long time, I certainly know the do’s and don’t’s of pet care. I am very attentive and thorough in everything I do, especially when it comes to caring for another living being, and I will love your pets like they were my own and care for them the same way. I am a full time college student, but with classes out for the summer, I am free practically all day every day! I can provide plenty of attention for your pet without worrying about how much time it will take. I can pay as much attention to your pet as you need me to. If your dog is low energy and prefers to lay around all day, I can stay by their side and take them for bathroom breaks as often as needed. On the other hand, if your dog loves to play and run outside, I can certainly keep them entertained all day long, as well. I will be sure to follow any special instructions you have for your pet, including dietary needs, medications, specific behaviors, and anything else.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of pets' individual needs and my calm, patient approach—especially with puppies and senior animals. I have hands-on experience with basic puppy training, including crate training, housebreaking, and leash manners. I also specialize in senior pet care, from administering medications to providing gentle exercise and comfort tailored to their age and health conditions. Pet parents often tell me they feel at ease knowing I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in their pet’s well-being. I treat every animal like my own—whether it’s keeping a high-energy puppy engaged with structured play or ensuring an older dog feels safe and relaxed in their routine. Additionally, I stay in close communication with owners, sending regular updates and photos, so they always feel connected. My goal is to provide not just care, but peace of mind. I am currently on my summer break so I am free for most of July and August! Once school starts I won’t be able to board many animals because I will be gone but I would still be available to walk animals or go over to a house and feed/let out your pet! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is always to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In My Home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and rest. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or medication—so they feel secure and at ease. I provide plenty of mental stimulation through toys, training games, and cuddles, and I make sure they get the right amount of exercise based on their energy level and age. Pets are never left alone for long periods, and I always maintain a clean, supervised environment. In My Client’s Home: I respect the home as much as I do the pet. I maintain the pet’s usual schedule to help minimize stress while their owner is away. That includes sticking to walk times, feeding routines, administering medications, and giving them the attention and affection they’re used to. I also keep the home tidy, water plants if needed, bring in mail, and send regular updates with photos and notes to keep clients fully informed. No matter the location, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with love, patience, and consistent care.
“McKinney was terrific. This was my first time using Rover and hiring someone I didn’t know. She was very nice and obviously caring from the moment I met her. She was contracted to visit three times a day and was prompt with every single visit. I received photos from each visit and through our outdoor cameras could see that she happily interacted with my dogs while she was there. And the best part was my house was spotless when I returned after seven days! With a German Shepherd that is impossible without some intervention on her part. I would happily hire her again.”
“I used Ben’s services for the first time recently to watch both my cat and my house. He did a fantastic job and went well above expectations. As I believe others have said, in addition to taking care of my cat, which was the top priority, he left the house super clean and tidy, washed the sheets, cleaned up the dishes. I highly recommend him.”
“Chris was great with Bella! She was so happy to see him! We found Chris to be extremely dependable -- he always showed up right on time and responded right away. We highy recommend Chris.”
About: I have a dog of my own, a mini Australian shepherd that I got as a puppy. I have watched over my parents dogs and friends cat and bunny. I have most evenings and weekends off and I am available to help. I love all animals and want to be able to help out others. I usually go to the person’s house and care for them. My best friend’s dog couldn’t sleep alone so when they were out of town I would stay over to take better care of her.

Julianna B.
“Julianna is one of the most qualified people I know for animal caregiving because of her genuine heart, and her incredible skill to listen to both pets and people. She has more experience than most from caring for domestic pets to farm animals. Her ability to consistently put her all into the task at hand is truly admirable! She hardly considers pet caregiving as work because of her obvious compassion for animals!”
