About: I have about 7 years of professional experience working with animals (medicating, bathing, kenneling, etc.) as well as growing up with at least one dog and cat in the house, I currently have 3 fur babies myself an English Bulldog named Kujo, a Domestic Shorthair names Ramen Noodles and a Domestic Medium hair named Nimbus. Along with my 3 babies I am also a Veterinary Technician. I am around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes 24/7 medicating and loving on while they are under my supervision! I am constantly snuggling and playing with my personal pets and I am the exact same way with the patients at my job. Just because the babies at work may not come home with me I always treat them as if they were my own.

Linda was so great with our dog, Tex. She stayed overnight with him while we were on vacation and took him on walks. She sent us several photos of their time together. I will hire her again!

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!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was about 7 years old. My family owns a ranch with all sorts of animals and I have always had a passion for caregiving. I’ve worked with daycare facilities, home boarding and even fostered dogs. I feel as though my experience has helped equipped me for any dog’s needs. I am full time dog mom. Here to assist with daycare, boarding, and drop-ins. I really enjoy spending time outdoors and running with the pups. Please schedule a meet and greet to best associate our pet and address your needs. I have a 3 year old male Wheaten Terrier who is head of the welcome committee. We love to play and run and share our toys with all friends. There’s a dog park that we attend daily and would love to have some friends join us. Our complex is dog friendly and in a gated community. Your dog is in the best hands with us!

About: I have a genuine love for animals! I do very well with potty training and walking even the most stubborn walkers. I can also give your pet all the cuddles they need! I am in between careers currently, so my availability is very flexible and open. I can commute anywhere in the Bryan/College Station area as well. I am more than willing to come house sit. I can do meet and greets with clients before hand so that we can establish a relationship and not just be strangers going straight in.

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.

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.

About: Hey there! My name is Rachel and I live with my husband, our 2 daughters, 3 doggies and 2 kitties. I have many years of experience with dogs because my family growing up has always had a house (and yard) full of them. I have also offered dog-sitting to neighbors and friends/family in the past. The more wagging tails the merrier! I would be happy to offer any home visits to check on your fur babies to walk, feed or even play with them. I will also offer in-home boarding to dogs of all sizes as long as they are not aggressive since I do have other animals and children. We have a fenced backyard and live on more than 70 acres of land where I can offer leashed walks and potty breaks. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting your little loves! <3 I am currently a full-time stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggies. I'm available most major holidays, weekdays and weekends. I allow the dogs that I may be boarding inside the house, and would stick to a strict potty/feeding schedule depending on each owner and pet. I believe every dog has their own personality, much like people, and need to be tended to differently.

About: I grew up rehabilitating and rehoming foster dogs with my family for various rescues in central Pennsylvania, focusing primarily on pit bulls and hounds. However, we welcomed all types of dogs, not just those breeds. Currently, I am learning basic obedience training from my grandfather (retired canine handler). As of right now, we are preparing a pup for duck season. In addition to my experience with dogs, I worked as a stable hand at a boarding barn, handling horses of all ages. While I can care for cats, it is not my preferred choice; however, I have done so in the past. I am currently working a flexible part-time job in the College Station area. I am available both during the day and at night, with the ability to stay for half the day to a full day. While I may step out for my shifts, I will be present in the evenings and overnight. I live on a ten-acre property where we have an in-ground fence. On hot days, when temperatures exceed 90 degrees, we only allow them outside for 10 to 15 minute intervals. During cold days, when temperatures drop below 40 degrees, we follow a similar schedule, adjusting the time based on each dog's comfort. When we're out of the house, we crate our dogs for peace of mind. Our pack of four is fed separately in their crates every morning; some receive additional meals in the evening. They are brushed daily and entertained outside whenever the weather permits. In summary, your dog, like my own, will be let outside, fed at the appropriate times, groomed, and loved on if welcomed. Additionally, I can take them for walks if the weather allows it, and it's requested.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young. Growing up my mother and I volunteered for dog rescue services. Doing that I cared for dogs big and small, old and young!! My family and friends often have me take care of their pets while they are away, so I’ve had plenty of experience! I currently go to school, so when school is in session there will be limited hours I can pet sit, however after school and on weekends, or summer I am free often! For the service of checking in on your dog at home, I can feed, water, play, and crate your pets whenever needed. I don’t mind doing anything that will help take the best care of your pet!

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 had pets since I was 5 years old, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. From feeding, walking, and playing to recognizing when they’re not feeling their best, I’ve learned how to give pets the love and attention they need. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or small animals, I treat every pet like they’re family! I work part time so whenever I’m not working I am completely free to play with your pets! I am flexible with my work times aswell so if your pets have specific feeding times/medication etc. I can make them work as well! I have a fenced in yard if you are wanted me to have him over at my house but if you are wanting your pets to stay at there home I will make sure to let them out frequently and do whatever instructions you leave me!
