About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat, and bearded dragon. I also spent a year working at a kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with pups and kitties of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat your pet like family. When I’m not caring for animals, I love playing video games, writing, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) friend! I’m currently a full-time homemaker, which means I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! It’s always been my dream to open up an animal rescue, so this is just another great step in that direction! I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets when going on vacation or a needed trip somewhere, but I can promise you’ll be leaving them in good hands, and that you’ll receive frequent pictures, updates, and anything else to ease your mind!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 13. From taking care of neighbors dogs and cats to raising my own cows and pigs, I have experience with every animal under the sun. I now work in the veterinary industry so I can identify any problematic symptoms while your pet is in my care. I will strive to make your baby happy and comfortable as long as I am responsible for them! I only work part time, so I have flexibility in my schedule. I am available all day on Sunday and after 2 on Saturdays. After 3 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and after 5 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am comfortable accommodating your pet in any way they need, from going on walks in the neighborhood to administering medicines daily. Let me know what your baby needs, and I will get it done!

“Relocating from Los Angeles to Tyler for my residency at UT Tyler was stressful, and I was especially worried about leaving my fur babies, Luna P and Washington, with a sitter during the holidays for a whole week. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Raul. He kept me updated throughout the week with pictures and thoughtful texts, even asking for specific details to ensure he was meeting my pets' needs. Raul was on top of everything, and it was clear he truly cared about my bbs. Washington, who is very shy and nervous around strangers, warmed up to Raul by day three and was even playing with him! Knowing my pets were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time with family, without any worries. I highly recommend Raul. He is trustworthy, responsible, and reliable—qualities I truly appreciated during such a busy and stressful time.”


“Aleisa is such a pleasure to work with. Friendly and engaging. Puts Wendy’s timid personality first when interacting. Definitely makes time to make us feel comfortable with leaving and Wendy feel safe when we are gone. So grateful to have found her.”

About: I have experience as a pet caretaker for both dogs and cats, including overnight stays and drop-in visits. I have been pet sitting for about 6 years now, and it was also one of my first jobs.

About: Hi there! I have over 6 years of experience training service dogs for a nonprofit organization, and I currently run my own professional dog training company.

With my background, you can be confident your furry family member is in capable, compassionate hands. I treat every dog like my own—because they deserve nothing less! As a professional dog trainer, I work from home and manage my own schedule, allowing me to offer a high level of flexibility. I’m available for last-minute bookings and can easily accommodate your needs, even on short notice. I strive to create an environment that’s tailored to your dog’s unique needs. Whether they thrive in a calm, quiet setting or enjoy socializing and playing with my friendly dogs, I ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at home. Dogs of all ages and temperaments are welcome here—there’s a place for everyone.

“Chole is doing a great job with our two big dogs that bark a lot at strangers. They have not scared her away yet. Chole seems to have even-keeled personality that suits her well to take care of dogs. We plan on having her watch our dogs this weekend.”


“Sarah is the absolute BEST!! We had a family emergency and we had to extend our pet care several times! She was super easy to work with our craziness at the time. And she took amazing care of the doggies! Highly recommend her! Fantastic communication!”
