About: I’ve owned dogs since I was born and these dogs have been all sizes from 5 pounds to 80 pounds. I currently take care of a dog everyday and I walk him for about 20 mins at a time. Then later in the day I feed and walk three dogs all at the same time these dogs vary from 5 to 70 pounds. I’m currently a student who is available to come walk, feed, and play with your dog/dogs any day of the week after 2pm. Due to having many dogs at my house. I can come and stay at your house and walk, play, and feed your dogs. Or I can just come and hang out with them during the day if that is what is needed this could be me playing with them or walking them feeding them.

Lauren seems to genuinely care for animals. It was a comfort to know my dogs were well cared for while we were away. She was responsive to my texts and I like that photos are sent during the visit. We will use her again.

Bianca did an amazing job. She takes great pics! She kept us informed and is a very nice and pleasant person! Our schedule was a little up in the air which meant there were daily updates on when we needed her. It was amazing to find someone who would work around our chaos! We are so glad we found her. & will definitely use her again

About: I love dogs and kittens equally, without comparing them and acknowledging their differences. I have had pets for as long as I can remember and they have always been an essential part of my life. For 34 years in my house there was always one to three pets and my love for them was so well known that my friends and family began to leave their furry babies in my care when they went on trips or vacations. I think this job is a great opportunity to do something I love, lovingly caring for animals that mean so much to their owners. I have time available usually after 4:00 pm and some weekends. Let me help you by giving your fur baby the love and care that he or she deserves. I am honest, assertive and patient. I believe that there is not a single way to care for an animal, each pet and owner have specific needs that must be considered

About: I love animals and I have a special place in my heart for dogs. I grew up on a ranch and have many years experience with animals. I spoil my dogs and every dog I have ever owned. I will love your dog as my own and spoil them as well. I have experience with special needs and senior dogs. There are currently 2 senior dogs in my home and they are both dog friendly and spayed and neutered. When your dog is in my home they will feel like part of the family. You will not have to worry about their well being nor safety while you are away. They will be well taken care of and loved. I have plenty of room to play and sleep.

About: I've always had pets growing up! I've been apart of PatriotPaws for 3yrs. now training service dogs and have watched family and friends pets whenever needed as well! I have bottle fed, trained, and raised my dog Maggie! I am also pursuing a career in veterinary medicine and hope to get accepted into veterinary school soon! I am currently looking for a job at a vet clinic so my hours may vary! I treat all animals as equals so I can ensure you that your fur baby will be treated the same! I am always overly cautious when it comes to caring for pets so I will always ask questions before assuming!

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.

About: I have been so fortunate to care for and love on many dogs from puppy age to senior, both big and small! My soul dog of 16 years dealt with heart issues the last few years of his life which gave me the skills to track, administer, and monitor his schedule as needed. I have also had pups who've dealt with stomach and skin issues, so i am experienced in that aspect as well. I have a very flexible daily schedule as I work from home and spend the day taking care of furry friends. This gives me ample opportunity to give your pets all of the love and care that they need while you are away! When caring for pets in your home, I always ensure that they stick as close to their normal routine as possible to ease their stress. It is important to create a stress-free environment and a calm relationship between myself and your furry fam!

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life and currently care for my own pups daily, so pet care is truly second nature to me. What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I provide—I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, including puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who may require a slower pace and extra patience. My experience includes daily walks, feeding, administering basic care, maintaining routines, and providing calm companionship to help pets feel safe and at home. I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and creating a low-stress environment for both pets and owners. My goal is always to ensure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I go to school during the day and am available weekday evenings after 4:30 PM, with open availability on weekends. During visits, your pet will have my full attention—no rushing, no shortcuts. I truly enjoy what I do and prioritize reliability, clear communication, and loving care. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and check-ins to ensure pets get exercise, companionship, and care. I follow routines, provide attention, and make sure every pet feels safe and happy.

About: I have experience dog sitting small and big dogs, and pet sitting for families I know, including caring for my bosses’ dogs and cat when they were away. I also grew up with a dog, so I understand how important it is to give pets love, attention, and a safe routine. I’m comfortable helping with feeding, walks, basic care and keeping owners updated while they’re away. I always make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions from the owner, because every dog has their own personality and needs. I currently work part time and remote, so my schedule is very flexible. I can help during the day and/or over night as needed I cannot bring pets home as I live in an apartment where no pets are allowed, but I can definitely go and stay at clients house as needed

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.
