About: Hi! I'm Rodney, and I have 4 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, including training puppies and providing special care for senior dogs. With 2 years of grooming experience, I can also help with baths, nail trims, and general grooming. I’m passionate about offering loving, reliable care for pets of all ages and sizes, and I’d love to help keep your furry friends happy and healthy! I currently am available 24/7 for all pets care needs! And home 100% of the time for boardings and available at the drop of a dime! I have a fenced in backyard that your furry friend can run around in and 2 little ones for them to chase all day! I can also put your pet in a crate if requested to!

About: I’ve cared for many pets of various sizes and breeds over the years for neighbors and friends, even for some who went overseas for several months at a time. I am a teacher and I have a lot of spare time. My husband also works from home. We are flexible and can meet your boarding needs. I have secure, air conditioned kennels on a 1 acre ranch to meet all your pet’s needs for comfort and exercise. Doggy pools, splash pad, and toys included!

About: *HOUSE SITTING TEMPORARILY STOPPED* I am still open to short stay house sitting requests and repeat customers, if I am available. Please send a Day Care request to inquire for now. I've owned and cared for all different kinds of pets my whole life. I've watched family and friends' pets ever since I was a teen, from dogs and cats to fish and hermit crabs. I personally have more animals than I do friends! 😂 I am new to Texas and thought I'd extend my love to my community and their pets since I'm no longer living near friends and family. I know what it's like to put your trust in a stranger to take care of your pet babies, I'd like to be your peace of mind and know your pet is in good, loving hands!❤️ I currently work from home Mon-Sat, integrating pet care into my daily routine is a task I have mastered by now! My work schedule is very flexible and mobile which allows me to provide consistent companionship and attention to my furry friends throughout the day. I take multiple breaks to enjoy walks, playtime, and cuddles, ensuring they feel loved and engaged while I tackle my tasks. The safety and care of your pet is VERY important to me. All walks are leashed and dedicated to your pet(s) only. Any off leash play will be in my secure, fenced yard or yours. Interactions with other pets will be avoided for safety unless intructed otherwise by you. You can trust that while I'm in your home I do not allow guests, I am a non-smoker and I'm willing to do a little extra such as checking mail, watering plants, etc at your request.

“So glad we found Mariah! She’s such a responsible pet sitter and love how responsive she is while we are away. It’s always reassuring to know our pup is in excellent hands.”

About: I use to work as a pet handler and will give your loved one the care they deserve; a special service I can provide is giving medicine if needed, not only do I work with dogs but I also work with cats. If you have any concerns feel free to ask questions and I will always do my best to answer them. I have pets myself. When I’m not working I’m with them. They need constant attention and I’m happy to give it. Plus potty breaks. 😂 I will make sure to maintain professionalism at all times especially if you allow me into your home to watch your baby. All I ask is you provide me with a clear list of instructions you’d like me to get done. I’ll even water your plants.

About: As a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, I understand the importance of providing reliable, compassionate care. I’m committed to making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away. Weekend Availability: Weekend availability only when I can bring my 8-year-old daughter along. She is gentle, well-behaved, and loves animals too I currently work from home and am pretty flexible M-F. Weekend Availability: Weekend availability only when I can bring my 8-year-old daughter along. She is gentle, well-behaved, and loves animals too. I am happy to follow any specific instructions you may provide. I provide a safe, calm environment and ensure plenty of supervision, love, and playtime.

About: I’m a Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT) with nearly 10 years in the field. That means I bring not only love and reliability, but also the medical knowledge to recognize when something isn’t right, safely administer medications, and keep your pet on track even after surgery or during recovery. I’ve seen how stressful boarding facilities can be, it’s constant barking, less oversight, and pets often coming home sick or anxious. My in-home care keeps your pet in their familiar environment, on their routine, and monitored by someone trained to notice the small details others may miss. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior cat, or a post-op patient, I treat every pet like my own and give you peace of mind while you’re away. Throughout the end of this year I will have more availability for pet care during the week and on weekends. I just need a few days notice. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s needs. As a Licensed Veterinary Technician, I love spending this extra time with animals and making sure they get the attention and care they deserve. When I care for pets, I follow their usual routine to keep them happy and comfortable. I take time to build trust—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship—and I always provide updates so you know how they’re doing. While I don’t usually offer overnight stays, I’m happy to arrange extended daytime visits or customized schedules to fit your pet’s needs. For established clients, I can revisit overnight options on a case-by-case basis

“Elle does a great job letting Pico out & walking him each day...she sends pics & gives the route & time they are out....we're using her again next week.”

About: Hello! I've taken care of dogs for the past 15 years with my own dogs included. I love dogs as if they're my own children (if I had any,) with compassion, love, nurturing, and play time! I will always send photos of your babies because I know the feeling of missing them while away, and updates knowing they're well taken care of can ease those feelings. I want you to be comfortable know they're getting the best care with me. I work full time from home so caring for my pets is a full time job as well! They're never left alone for long periods of time. We have routine potty breaks, snack breaks, and walks! Vitamin D is great for us all. I have a 3 bedroom home with a fenced in yard that is regularly maintained for land mines. All pets are welcome on the couch and in bed and no area is off limits. My home is safe space for all pets. 🥹❤️

About: I have years of experience with rescue dogs in various states of health. All of my dogs have been rescues from a senior who just needed a home for her last months (which turned into two wonderful years) to puppies born in a shelter and everything in between. I love the puppy cuddles but have a firm guiding personality which dogs seem to respect. I have my own two dogs - a senior I rescued at 3 month old who has been all over the country and even to Guam with me and a new rescue puppy. We do walk on the morning, in the afternoon, and the evening plus they have full access to the backyard anytime they need it through the dog door. My 5 year old loves playing with the dogs throughout the day as well. I stay at home with my children so the dogs always have someone with them unless I need to run a quick errand. I have a fenced yard and two well behaved (the puppy is learning) friendly puppies. My dogs are kennel trained and my senior dog prefers laying in hers unless treats are being handed out. The puppy gallops around like the kids and enjoys fetch. I would treat your dogs like my own with any special requests honored.

“Thanks for being amazing to Mia. She loves the company!”

About: I personally have three cats, including two Persians and one plain ol' domestic short-hair. I've had Persians for over seven years now and I'm very familiar with their diets and grooming needs. I also have experience with kittens, adults, elderly, and sick pets. I am currently working full time so I can watch your pets in the evenings during the week and Sunday evenings as well. I can also run any pet related errands during the week as well. I am a punctual pet owner and I will treat all pets the same as I would my own. I value health and safety first but I also like to have fun and take plenty of pictures!

About: I have had many pets over my lifetime. I hate to see animals abused or neglected. It takes so little to give them joy and it's so rewarding to see them happy. I have taken in rescues and received such love and loyalty, which is so rewarding. We all usually have a favorite breed that we just love to see and enjoy. My favorite is the Doberman Pinscher. I do believe they are truly the Cadillac of dogs. While I love this breed, I will rescue any dog cat that needs help. Humans are the animals voice and we need to take care of all that need us. I offer love and empathy to all pets. I offer a safe haven when needed. I'm retired, but keep busy! I have 4 dogs, 1 cat, chickens. Chores never end! I have time for a few more pets to love on! Dropping in on your pets, I know to be detail oriented, such as checking doors, windows, gate latches so no unknown escapes occur. Make sure water is clean and fresh, meds given as needed, and correct food routines followed.

About: I love and accept all animals! I have owned quite a variety of pets my entire life growing up. From owning and caring for, fish, reptiles, dogs, cats, horses and birds. I have worked at Animal Defense League, Lucy’s Doggy Daycare, VCA Becker Animal hospital, and Herbst Veterinary Hospital. Since having worked and been employed at these facilities, I’ve gained plenty of experience and knowledge with animal handling and caretaking. I have experience with pets who have medical needs and require treatment or specific handling and care. I have experience with giving oral, topical, and injectable medications. Pet CPR certified. I have my own transportation and am very flexible. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me! Thanks I’m currently working part time and have plenty of flexibility throughout the week, weekend, and holidays. Whatever is needed for the client and the pet(s). I am very cautious with all breeds and trained with handling. I always treat clients pets as my own and make sure they receive the best care possible.

About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. I have two dogs myself and give them the whole world. I have 16 years of experience of dog walking and pet sitting. I also use to work at a vet clinic, and was a dog groomer at a salon, so I have lots of experience from little to XL dogs 🐕 . I would love to come meet you and your fur babies! 🐾🐶 I'm currently am looking to fill my schedule to full time. So I have lots of time to play with your pups and give them the love and attention they deserve! I have two fur babies of my own that are the sweetest and love to play with others, but right now I currently am not offering in home boarding at my house.

I am a certified animal lover and have experience taking care of all sorts of pets including, fish, birds, cats, and special needs animals. I used to clean homes where I would watch clients on pets on the side as well. I am currently an at home full time online college student, so I would be able to be around all day to play and entertain your babies! I have a small dog run, on top of that I have 3 acres of room to entertain. I do have two dogs of my own that are very friendly, but I have the ability to crate other animals or if preferred keep them inside a separate large part of the house that my animals don’t have access to. :)

About: I’ve grown up with Dogs and Cats all my life. Each animal life is important to me personally! Each animal life deserves love and care!

When I travel, I find it important to build relationships with other pets too! Building a pet’s trust is as important as building peoples trust.

About: I got my first dog at 5 and was taught from an early age the value of a pet. They are truly family and I try to treat every furry friend like they are my own. All of my pets besides my first dog have been rescues and I am familiar with different types of personalities a dog may have. I love getting to know their quirks, likes, and dislikes. I hope we can get to know each other! When I'm not working with pets I work as a bridal consultant. I don't work long hours so I can visit a pet before or after hours as well as my days off! I am never too tired for a furry friend. If I come into your home to take care of your pet you can assume I will have some treats, a leash, and a brush available! I am tidy and will assure your home will be respected by me.

About: Hello! 👋 I moved over from Scotland last year and I am wanting to spread my wings and get to know the area. I love living here. It’s so beautiful! Dogs have been part of my life since I was a boy. Always helping out with my granny who had a Beautiful Kerry Blue - Yogi. It’s been since then I have took care of many family pets - A Miniature schnauzer, Irish wolf hound, Jack Russel, cockapoo and a Labrador. As part of my last role in Scotland I helped to get dogs into colleges to help relive anxiety through pets. It was amazing seeing the students faces light up when the dogs came through the door. Right now I help my sister who has 4 dogs. so there is always something to do. I love animals, especially dogs. They are just so amazing and we are lucky to have them. Can’t wait to meet yours :D I am quite flexible during the weekdays - I am available weekdays Mon-Fri, 9am-4pm. I am also available to do stay overs. Weekends are negotiable When meeting a new dog I let them come to me so they can get to trust me and build on that. Also being very mindful of what the owner expects of me. All dogs have their own personality and are use to thier own people, places and things. Someone new coming into the mix takes time and patience for the dog to adjust but I have found that when you are open towards the dog they are happy to meet you there on thier own terms.
