“Alyssa was amazing for my dog and me. Highly recommend. I had a last minute business trip and she was able to drop in to save the evening and walk Louie while I was out of town. And it was her first walk with us. She knew just what to ask during the meet and greet and then again right before the walk to make it be a success for her, me and most importantly Louie! Thx!!!!”
“Alyssa provided excellent service and communication during our booking. She was flexible when needed and accommodating as well. We will definitely look to rebook the next time we go out of town.”
About: Hi! I’m Caroline, a lifelong pet lover with years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all personalities. I understand that every pet has their own unique quirks, routines, and needs, and I pride myself on providing loving, reliable, and attentive care that keeps them comfortable while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, medication, or just quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to suit your pet’s preferences. I also offer regular updates and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe and happy. I treat every pet like my own with patience, respect, and lots of affection. Let me know how I can help! I currently work in biotech at an office job during the day Monday - Friday so I am available to stop by early mornings (5-7am) or after work (3-10pm). I am available any time on weekends! At your home, I will be respectful of your space and the way you cater to your pet and their needs. I want to build a relationship to get to know you and your pet and will treat them as if they were my own!
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog since I was 10 years old, which has given me years of hands-on experience with daily pet care and responsibility. I genuinely love working with animals and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I offer dog sitting, walks, and drop-in visits, and I always tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog like my own. I also have experience caring for dogs with health conditions and understand the importance of being gentle, patient, and attentive—especially with older dogs or those needing extra care. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! 🐶✨ I’m currently looking for new jobs, so likely this is going to be only until I find a new job, but I hope I get to meet new people and have fun walking dogs in need! I have made sure my dog does not jump high because her legs are weak and has health conditions so I am very understanding if the dog has any health issues and may be older.
“Leanne is such a wonderful sitter for my cat Ellie! She looks after her with so much care and love. I used to feel much more anxious leaving Ellie but now I always know she is in good hands with Leanne.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life. I love dogs and any animal in general. I have experience with puppies, rescues, senior dogs, and pet sat for a lot of friends and family. Thankfully no bad experiences. I would love to help keep your pet safe and happy. I work from home, my dog is always with me. The backyard is great for going potty and playing. The neighborhood is nice to go on walks. My backyard is not fenced but they won't be left unwatched outside. As long as the dogs are friendly there will be no issues at home.
About: Hi, I’m Shira. I’ve always been the person who ends up spending time with the dog wherever I go. I’ve helped friends and family with their pets for years, from daily walks to weekend care, and I really enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. Whether your dog loves long, active walks or prefers a slower pace with plenty of sniffing, I’m happy to match their routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your dog like my own. I’ll keep you updated and make sure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. Feel free to reach out. I’d love to meet you and your dog. I intentionally keep my schedule flexible so I can provide dependable walks and drop-ins throughout the week. I value consistency and punctuality, and I make sure each visit gets my full attention so your pet’s routine and comfort always come first. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize safety, routine, and respect for your space. I follow instructions carefully, secure all doors and gates, and stay attentive during walks and visits. I provide updates and photos so you feel completely comfortable, and I always leave your home exactly as I found it.
“Niusha looked after our cat while we were away for the holiday and we were very happy to see the many photos and videos that she shared of our kitty - he was clearly very well loved and taken care of!”
“Our cat Nell loves Claudia! Claudia agreed to stop in and check in on Nell a week before our trip, pretty much at the last minute and we are so grateful. She is easy to communicate with and takes great care of Nell.”
“Jordan IS a cat whisperer!! Our little boy 🐈⬛ is pretty spicy with new people, but he warmed to Jordan upon their first meeting without any issue. We are so grateful to have found someone that helps Naxos feel safe and comfortable when we are away; it gives us such peace of mind!”
About: Plenty of experience with all types of pets! I have been around dogs and cats all of my life and I currently own an AMAZING corgi named Macy. I am very comfortable around all dogs whether they are small or large. I love dogs and will definitely take wayyyy too many pictures of your fur babies. Your pets are your children and I am more than equipped to meet their needs. I lived with 4 dogs before so I’m very used to watching more than 1. Keeping your pets happy is my priority!!! I typically work 8-5pm at Texas a&m and I’m free outside of that! Depending on how close you were I could potentially let the dogs out at lunch. Your pets typically feel most comfortable in their own environment so while I can’t keep them at my house with my current housing restrictions I am more than willing to house sit so that they can feel at ease while you are away.
“We have asked Adriana to take care of our dog regularly when we leave town, and we never have to worry about him while we are away. We are thankful to have someone so trustworthy and communicative while we're gone! She surprises him with some of his favorite toys, even though she doesn't have to do that! We recommend her to anyone needing someone to take care of their pets.”

“Kylie stopped in to bring my dog Patsy out when I had to work longer shifts at work. She was a great communicator and I felt very comfortable having her care for Patsy.

Katie took wonderful care of my puppy, Mabel, over the past few months. She walked her regularly several days a week and was always communicative. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Mabel was in such good hands. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring dog walker.
Lucy was very receptive to what my cat needed. She came for 1 visit while I was out of state. She provided a meal, checked water, checked my cats litter, and sent a few photos. I also got a few screen shots from my apartments camera and saw that Lucy even brushed Zelish and played with her which was really nice. I felt happy knowing my cat was well taken care of.
Grace did a great job taking care of my senior cat Dagny. She is still very active, although shy, yet Grace was able to make friends with Dagny, treated her and even got to groom a bit. She followed my particular feeding instructions perfectly, and kept water filled and litter clean. Grace has quick response communication, and shared some great pics of my girl during her visit. I highly recommend Grace for her care and professionalism.
Kelly is excellent with our puppy! She is patient and had no problem following our long list of instructions /explanation of our pup’s quirks and training commands. He loves seeing her every week and we appreciate the help and reliability during our work week!
Keaton was so great! He was timely, responsible, communicative, and so sweet with our two cats. I was anxious about leaving them for a few days but not only did they totally warm up to Keaton, he fully took care of every task. I was actually able to enjoy vacation! I got updates with videos and pictures and knew our cats were well cared for. Couldn't ask for anything more!
