About: I love your dog like my own. I provide a clean and safe environment with a structured schedule. I send daily photos with updates on how they are adjusting. I have taken care of dogs for most of my life and I'm a loving dog mom to my senior pup Ella. I've handled big dogs and little does, hounds, mastiff, you name it. From energetic to couch potato, I haven't found a pup I couldn't handle. Love them all ❤️ I work a structured schedule from 7-3 every weekday with weekends off. I potty and feed before work and hurry back to care for the pup after-work. I keep a clean, well-kept home with nothing out for dogs to eat or swallow. I have lifeproof flooring so they can roam freely with easy cleaning in case of accidents. I have a fenced in backyard for potty, playtime, or basking in the sun (as my dog loves to do). I live in a safe quiet neighborhood with little to no traffic and can provide daily walks, administrate medication, or any special requests you may have!

About: I’ve grown up my whole life with pets and have yet to meet one animal I don’t fall in love with. In my adult life I have personally had two dogs of my own, one with serious medical issues and one rescue who I’ve worked with through their trauma. Because of this experience I feel very confident in taking care of your pet too! I currently work part time so I have a great availability to accommodate your schedule. All I need is a little heads up and I will be there! I know that every animal is different so I am more than willing to talk with you about what your specific pets needs are and work from there.

“I don’t have the most user friendly dog. She is scared of strangers and slow to warm. She is a boxer pit and can be intimidating. I am always nervous about her with strangers. She was rescued from a bad bad situation and has come so far from when we got her. Amelia was amazingly patient and genuine with her. She sent me a picture and Annie looked so relaxed with her! I am definitely rebooking with them because they are so great with my big little scaredy-cat dog!”


“Calissa was great with our two pups! She arrived on time and took them out, let them play and also cleaned up an accident! It was a last minute request but she responded super quick!! We can’t wait to use her again!! Thank you so much Calissa!!”


About: Growing up on a farm in Arkansas, I was always around and taking care of animals. I've sat for multiple families so they can go enjoy travel, graduations, and events without having to worry about their fur babies. I do work full-time, but evenings and weekends I'm usually available! If your fur baby needs attention during the day, I'm able to swing over and make sure they're cared for. Keeping routines has always been a priority for me for any pet I'm around. This makes them feel safe and have less anxiety. This also lets their little personality shine!

About: I have over a decade of dog care experience. I have worked with senior dogs, physically disabled dogs, and all kinds of dog behavior. I have the ability to go on multi-mile walks or just snuggle for hours. Your dog is boss when they’re in my care, and I’ll do anything in my power to make them more comfortable. If you have a very specific schedule or your dog needs medicine at a specific time, I’m your sitter. My work allows me to have very flexible time, and I am never late. Please allow me the opportunity to make your pet parent life a little easier! I work from home full-time, and I have tons of flexibility in my schedule. I can board animals 24/7, and I’m available for at home check-ins whenever your schedule requires. If your dog boards with me, they will have access to my couch/bed, my apartment’s dog park, and miles of local trails. If your cat boards with me, they will have access to my cat tree, scratching posts, and all the hiding holes they could wish for. Your animal will be safe in my controlled environment, they will always be within eye sight, and they will have all the attention they could want. I pride myself on safety, and your animal will have the best care when they’re with me!

About: With experience in veterinary medicine, I’ve learned how to care for pets who need extra attention and a gentle touch. I’m confident, compassionate, and skilled at handling even the most sensitive furry friends. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or extra care, I’m here to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I provide pet care in a safe, peaceful environment where your furry friend can feel right at home. I even have fish that many pets enjoy watching—it’s a little extra entertainment to help them feel relaxed and engaged while you're away

About: I am a canine enrichment coordinator at a boarding facility and I teach basic and intermediate manners training classes. I have a degree in behavior science and I'm hoping to complete my KPA training certification in the near future. Ask about enrichment and basic training add-ons! I work as a full-time enrichment coordinator and dog trainer. As such, I have restricted availability. In general I am free Monday, Tuesday, and Friday evenings and all day on Saturdays. I am available for dog walking, check-in visits, and house sitting. I can also offer enrichment and basic training services as add-ons. Let's talk about some enrichment strategies to help your dog live a happy and full life!

“I'm so glad I had Ashley look after my cat Charlie while I was away! She's very responsive and her check-ins gave me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her or book her again.”


“Abbigail took care of my kitten (Astro) while I was in Houston for a wedding. She checked in on him, fed him, cleaned his litter box and played with him while I was gone to make him feel less lonely. I appreciate the work that she did taking care of him and appreciate the extra check in she did!”


About: I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals! I have had many pets and have a Giant Schnauzer at this time. . I am responsible and will take my time with your fur baby! I have experience, caring for big and small animals, as well as challenging animals. I would absolutely love to help you! I feel our fur babies are our family and I know how important it is to be genuine and caring to yours. I'm currently working a schedule that I have some flexibility with. I am able to change my schedule most days and would love to try to work a few hours of caring for your babies into my day. I use positive reinforcement, awareness, and confindence. I provide my pets and your pets, safety and love. I have experience in training dogs. I have found Positivity and reinforcement often works best!

“Sierra has been an excellent dog sitter. She is so communicative and positive interactions with our dog mean a lot to us. We will definitely be using her in the future for our dog sitting needs.”


About: I have cared for various breeds of dogs, cats, fish, lizards, and more, with an emphasis on maintaining a strong connection with the pet. I know that pets often want companionship when their family is away, yet I acknowledge that, like us, they need their space at times. I have cared for my own dog and cat since they were a puppy and kitten, so I know how to care for younger pets. I am a college student so I will have time to care for your furry friends during the night and weekends. I will be able to stay flexible in order to suit the times a pet would need a sitter. I take my own dogs out on walks, to go potty, and to simply have fun multiple times a day. And I will do the same with your dogs. When cats are wanting to shed some energy I am always happy to play with them and give them exactly what they need, that includes my cats and those who I have pet sat for before.

About: I began caring for animals when I was 14, working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic all through high school. I walked, fed, and cleaned up after dogs of all sizes, and I regularly assisted with basic veterinary care. Now at 32, my love for animals is just as strong... and I hold 17 years of experience as a trusted pet sitter and caregiver for friends, family, and clients. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priorities. I work to build a trusting relationship with every animal and their people, and I treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own. Here’s what I offer during overnight, in-home stays: 🐶 Daily photo and video updates to keep you connected while you're away 🛁 Pampering sessions with gentle brushing, cuddle time, and enrichment-based play 🍓 Fun, personalized activities (with permission!), including fruit tastings, doggy ice cream, treat puzzles, and sensory enrichment 💊 Medication administration and dietary support, backed by 4 years of hands-on vet clinic experience 🏠 Light home care like plant watering, mail collection, and tidying up, so you come home to a peaceful space Whether you’re gone for one night or ten, your pets will get one-on-one attention, enrichment, and loving care — not just basic tasks. My services are priced to reflect the high level of presence and commitment I bring to each stay. If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and totally obsessed with making your pet feel safe and loved, I’d be honored to be your sitter. I work during the week from 7 am to 3:30 pm, so I wake up at 5:30 am to care for pets before taking off for my work day. I'm also available on my late morning lunch breaks to run home and care for/let out pets for potty breaks. My work days end in the afternoon which is helpful for pet care. I do have hobbies such as going to the gym and playing with my band. These practices/visits/any appointments range from 1-2 hours, and come AFTER pet care! I am also off work Sundays and Mondays, so more time for pets! I offer care for animals in the clients home only, and I am competent in regards to learning each pet's routine, preferences, needs for support, schedule, etc. Your pets will receive care in their own homes and I am flexible in regards to catering to their specific needs. Safety and trust is the most important thing, and I love to provide text updates and photos of each pet and our adventures together. With your consent, I offer different services such as a fruit tastings with the dogs, and dog safe ice cream treats! I can also brush their coats out and brush their teeth. Its a pampered experience for your pets!

“Malia was easy to work with and send beautiful photos of Koko! She also cared for our leopard gecko and fish. My kitty is lonely and needs love daily and Malia was “purr”fect. I would definitely hire again!”


“We needed someone to pick up our pup and drop her off at another boarding location due to places getting booked so quickly over the holidays, and Angela was a life saver. Very communicative, sent pictures of our pup, and overall just a wonderful experience. Thank you Angela!”

Mack did an amazing job of spending lots of quality time with her, sending me lots of cute pictures, and making sure she was very well cared for.
