“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.”

About: I'm an animal lover raised on a farm with lifelong experience caring for dogs, cats and more- pets have always been part of my life. I've worked in veterinary clinics and provided pet sitting for several years, gaining hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and needs. I'm also experienced in administering medications, including injection such as insulin, with a focus on safe handling and maintaining pet's health and comfort. My schedule is currently open during normal business hours, and I’m flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs throughout the day. Whether your pets require regular walks, midday visits, or multiple check-ins, I’m available to provide consistent, reliable care. I’m using this opportunity to supplement my income during the current government shutdown, and I’m committed to working around your schedule to ensure your pets receive attention, companionship, and care whenever they need it. I provide reliable, detail-oriented pet care within your own home and neighborhood, ensuring your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar surroundings. Keeping them in their own environment helps reduce stress and supports their natural routines. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important consistency and care are. You can trust me to follow instructions closely, respect your home, and provide a safe, positive experience where your pets feel most at ease.
“I’m super grateful to Reagan for taking such great care of my cats while I was out of town! She followed all care instructions perfectly, spent real quality time with them, and sent detailed updates with lots of adorable photos. I could tell my cats were in great hands and they really enjoyed her company. I highly recommend Reagan and will definitely be booking with her again!!”

About: I've taken care of friends and friends of friends' dogs for a decade now. I walk, play, bathe and feed furry friends with ease and comfort for all parties involved. I've taken care of large dogs, tiny dogs not much bigger than my hand and senior dogs. Every dog is different and I try to cater to their personality as best as I can. Tell me all the things about your doggo and we'll have a lovely time together! I rather generously assert a "good boy" and "good girl!" I predominantly work from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet whether it's daily or spaced out throughout the week. In your home, I will follow the instructions you lay out for me to create the best care for your pet. In my home, alongside your care instructions, I live in a large house with a large fenced in yard so your pet will have plenty of space to roam around. I currently have 3 easy-going and friendly cats and I'm comfortable introducing the animals and ensuring a harmonious household.
“My cat Cookie loved hanging out with Madison! She kept me updated on everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their fur baby!”
About: Howdy! My name is Chrissy and I am a between jobs Counseling Psychologist (PhD)! I've cared for animals my entire life (F38) and I am passionate about loving all creatures! If I had not gone with Psychology, I'd deffinitey have been a vet! I'm currently in the process of interviewing at Texas A&M to be a Psychologist in their student health center! However, onboarding at major universities can often take months! I am pursuing temporary income by engaging with my second passion, animals! My care of your animals will always be centered on your instructions. Just as I am in therapy, I believe you are the only expert on your fur children so I will follow your lead! I do have a fair bit of knowledge about interacting with animals as well and again, similar to my approach as a therapist, I allow the animal to lead and tell me what it needs or wants on its own terms!
“Ashley is so amazing! She took pictures of my babies everyday and gave updates on their behavior. I felt safe with her in my home and confident that my girls would be taken of it. It made time away so much enjoyable knowing she was taking care of everything! Will 100% be booking again.”

“Brittany was quite helpful to me on my trip; she was highly organized and came to my house before to the drop-off visit to inquire about my pets. During the visits, she arrived at my house at the previously agreed-upon hour and messaged me images of my pets every day. With her in charge, I felt quite confident about my kitties. Overall, I strongly recommend her for pet care while traveling.”

“Jonathan communicates very well, is punctual, responsible, and plays wonderfully with Luna. He is trustworthy, and Luna had a great time. I’ll definitely book him again and highly recommend him.”

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.
“Makayla was wonderful & so sweet! I needed a sitter on very short notice for in-home boarding of my cat & she was super quick to respond & coordinate plans for dropping off. Really easy communication, never had a problem getting ahold of her for an update here & there & took great care of my kitty who was a bit stressed at the time from being in the middle of a move. Would 100% rebook & recommend! ?”
About: I’ve had a genuine love for animals for as long as i can remember and have hands-on experience with pets of all ages. I’m even open to exotic pets like turtles, fish, hamsters and even snakes! I have experience managing high-energy animals, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I’m comfortable with administering medications, keeping routines consistent, and ensuring every pet feels safe and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time and going to school full-time but have a very open schedule on M,W,F and the weekends! I work no more than 5 hours at a time and have classes for no longer than 4-5 hours at a time as well. This allows for plenty of time between classes and work to check on the animals and provide whatever care is necessary. I provide attentive, safe, and loving care for pets in the client’s home. This includes feeding according to their schedule, providing fresh water, giving attention and playtime, administering medications if needed, and maintaining a clean and comfortable environment. I also love providing updates to the owner by sending texts and pictures to ensure peace of mind while you’re away!!
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, so classes can take up a lot of my time on week days. On weekends though, I am completely free! Mondays and Wednesdays are my busiest days, but I have plenty of time in the afternoon on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I am happy to work around my schedule to provide what you need. 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.
“No complaints. Javeon was very nice and friendly when we first met to go over everything. Dogs seemed happy to see her from the photos she sent during her visit. Would book with her again.”
“Ashley watched our cat overnight and was very understanding of our needs. We recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will respect boundaries and communicate efficiently! ?”
