“Casey was great at communicating all the way from when we were looking for someone to pet sit all the way through her stay. She would send us pictures of the kitty crew. 😺 She stayed the night at our home while we were away. Would definitely use Casey again!”

“When I had to extend the stay because of unforeseen circumstances, Kari jumped right in and covered, brought dog toys, and kept my house and babies safe. I’ll use her every time I need someone. She’s fantastic.”

About: I have owned dogs all my life, little ones to large dogs. I enjoy what dogs have to offer us humans and their own unique personalities. I will walk your dog, take them to the dog park or just come and hang out with them so they are not alone all day. I know how some dogs have issues with separation anxiety and I would like to help with that. I want their humans to feel more at ease while their away at work or vacation. Resorts can be stressful for some fur babies. I have experience working in veterinary clinics and pet resorts. I am able to give meds to the pet if needed. I'm available any time during the day and most weekends. If you have questions, please feel free to email me or call! Currently working full time but that doesn’t take away from taking care of your fur babies. I am able to drop in visits or in house sitting. I would prefer staying at the clients home. It is less stressful on the pet. I have a full house so may be uncomfortable for them.
“Enya was great! I was super nervous because I've never left my pups with someone I didn't know, but she came over ahead of time to meet the dogs, and during the entire stay kept me updated. I am so happy we hired her, and I will definitely be using her again! Absolutely best experience know my dogs were well loved and taken care of while I was away.”

“Kelley is so wonderful with Atlas! We loved the progress reports, and we appreciated her updates and perspectives on Atlas since his neuter. We love when she brings her dog to play with Atlas, so she doesn't have to be away from her baby while she watches ours. We truly appreciated her coordination with the second Rover sitter and the handoff of Atlas while we were away. We received regular photos and updates, always feel confident in her arrival/departure times and her communication, and she leaves the sweetest "welcome home" notes. As always, can't wait to book her again!”


About: I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science. I have 6+ years experience in a veterinary hospital setting caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. Animals are a true gift and I believe they all have a unique and special way of communicating with us. Through energy, body language, vocalization and behaviors. If we take the time to slow down and understand each animal for who they are, we can learn so much! I truly look forward to getting to know your fur babies and treating them as my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! Plenty of time for walks, snuggles and backyard playtime. I am home most weekends and can accommodate extended stays or last minute pet care needs. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room indoors for your pets to relax. I have 1 neutered male dog named Floki that is very well behaved and will love the company of your pets.
“Alex was a great pet sitter over the holidays. She was a good communicator and helped with all the things around the house that needed to be done. Our two cats and dog were well taken care of.”

“Bailey was absolutely fantastic! She came to our rescue at the last minute and took great care of our babies. We were in such a rush, and I don't think I prepared her as well as I should have, but she handled everything like a pro. We truly appreciated her help. Thank you so much, Bailey!”

About: I’ve always had an abundance of dogs and cats all throughout my life. I’ve always had large breed dogs, but I am no stranger to small breeds as well! I’ve had puppies and senior dogs, so I have experience kind of all across the board. I have four kittens that I raised and bottle fed, as well as senior cats. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was 13. I also have experience as a veterinary technician! I am comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I will love your pets like they’re my own, and I am very accommodating to your schedule! I am also open to horse care as well! I do not have horses of my own, but I have a few clients that I feed for, so equine care could be discussed if needed 😊 I am starting nursing school in August, but until then I am completely free to take care of your pets. Once I start school, my schedule will change slightly, but I will still be available! I, unfortunately, cannot offer boarding, but I am more than happy to offer house sitting, overnight care, and drop in visits during the day as needed. Whatever your pet needs, I am willing to do it! I can stick to a strict feeding and medication schedule if needed. I will play with your pets, or just have a lazy day if couch potato is more their style! If your pets go out at certain times, get crated, or have to be separated for feeding, I can do it. If your pet is a bit skittish with new people, I will take the time to have them get comfortable with me and avoid stressing them out in an already stressful situation. They will be in great hands 🩷

“Dawn was so sweet and very attentive to Max’s need and personality. We were were so comfortable leaving him in her care. We will definitely be contacting Dawn again!! Thank you?❤️”

“Kelly was awesome! I can't even say enough good things about her! She stayed with our 3 basset hounds while we went out of town for a week. She is great at communicating and kept in touch with pictures and videos while we were gone. She took great care of our home and dogs while we were on vacation, and took away our worry of having to leave our babies. We arrived home to happy pets and a clean home! We will definitely be using her for our future pet sitting needs!”

“We cannot say enough good things about Dani. We are retired and this was the first time leaving our pup with a sitter (at home sitting). Dani made this process for us so awesome, she sent so many daily pics of all the things she did with Sky. So being on our 5-day trip we had no worries if our pup was taken care of. I cannot recommended Dani enough for any of your pup sitting, her care of Sky was a comfort we could not put a price on, she was a blessing and we will be using her many more times in the future.”
