“Kayla was incredible! She spent a week with our pups. She left our home clean and our pups never skipped a beat from treats, cuddles, and loving. She even protected them from a crazy wind storm that happened while we were out of town. If you need someone for that will love your dogs like her own, it’s Kayla.”

About: I grew up with a Lab/Hound mix named Goofy, and I was largely responsible for her care throughout her life. I began watching dogs for other clients at 16 years old, so I have over four years of experience so far. I have experience with a wide variety of dog breeds/animals. Most of my experience lies in dogsitting, but I absolutely adore cats as well! I love all animals and strive to give the best care I can! I attend Texas State University in San Marcos, so I am in college for most of the year. However, I am on winter break currently from December 12-January 15. I switch my location back and forth depending on where I am currently living. I am free almost every single day at most hours, and try to be as flexible as I can. I have extensive experience staying at my clients' homes for extended periods of time to watch their animals. On top of sitting, I will also do any chores or basic house tasks that need to be completed while a client is away as part of my services. Overall, I take very good care of both the home and the animals to provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for your pets.

“Allyson was incredible — she sent so many pictures and videos (without me even asking!) multiple times a day, as well as written updates frequently. She took our dog on a hike with her and sent pics — our fur baby looked like such a happy girl! We were so grateful Allyson went above and beyond to take care of her and let her run out some energy. I felt so incredibly grateful that I could enjoy my weekend away knowing my pets were being taken care of and loved. Thank you Allyson!”

About: In all my years of living I have never *not* had an animal in the house. I've cared for old dogs, puppies, cats, kittens and strays! Needless to say I'm excited to meet and have fun with your pet no matter what you throw at me! I'm currently focusing on myself right now so I have all the time in the world to help you out with your lil guys. Any time, any day! I'm able to do just about anything for you just let me know exactly what you need! I like to take dogs out for a walk multiple times a day regardless if they have a yard to run in or not. I also have experience with dogs who don't like people/animals but let me know beforehand so I can avoid situations that stresses your pup out. <3

About: I've cared for pets of all kinds for a majority of my life! I've volunteered at the local animal shelters in every town I've lived in, fostered cats and dogs of all kinds, and have taken care of cats, dogs, chickens, fish, lizards, birds, and other exotics. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, administering medication in addition to all the basics of pet care. I'm available for all services Sunday through Thursday, but can only take drop-ins and walking requests on Friday and Saturday. If you want to schedule for a longer stay, I can open up those days with at least 3 days advance notice! While I can't offer my home to your pets, I am more than happy to give your pets all the love they deserve at a park or in your home!

“Katie did a beautiful job taking care of our 3 dogs with diverse personalities, energy levels and needs! Our oldest needed extra TLC and attention, including wound care for her paws and medications twice day. She’s almost 15, so the we were worried about the burden of responsibility and even the potential need for emergency care. Katie did not hesitate to meet all her needs, which made it possible for us to take a very special trip with our family. That’s why Katie has become our go-to house-sitter. She’s punctual, professional and caring! Thank you Katie!”

Kayla was an incredible sitter. We needed a last minute sitter and she immediately set up a time to meet the doggies. Once booked, she kept in constant communication and sent so many pictures and updates. Will book again.
