Top rated Nicholas house sitters

“Julie was fantastic! She was very communicative, took lots of pictures, and took excellent care of our fur babies while we were on vacation. We will definitely be booking her in the future!”


“Miles house sat for us for 5 nights. He communicated well, giving us lots of updates and photos. He took our dog on many long walks. Best of all, our house was exactly as we left it. 100% would book again.”


“Brittany does an amazing job taking care of our older german shepherd. She has pet sat for us many times now, and we have been more than happy every time. We truly feel our girl could not be in better hands, and that is coming from someone who does not like to leave our pup. We feel very at ease when she is left in Brittany's care, its easy to see her love for animals. Brittany is extremely reliable, she is very communicative/quick to respond, and has always been very flexible with our needs. Thank you Brittany for all the care and attention you give our girl. We are lucky to have found you, and appreciate everything you do for us.”


“Ashley was amazing, she watched my cat Phoebe at home for me and kept her happy and active. She also left a postcard and new toy before leaving which was super sweet. Would definitely book again.”


“Katalina was absolutely amazing with our two chihuahuas, Maci and Moose. She stayed in our home for six days and followed every part of our (very detailed) care plan exactly as we asked. Maci is our older dog with some allergy needs and Moose is a 4-month-old puppy who needs close supervision and structure, and Katalina handled both of them with patience, care, and attention. She kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a clean house, a happy puppy, and a very content Maci. It was clear both dogs were well cared for and loved throughout the entire stay. We would absolutely invite Katalina back in the future. She is responsible, trustworthy, and truly cared for our dogs as if they were her own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable pet sitter.”


“Linda was so great with our dog, Tex. She stayed overnight with him while we were on vacation and took him on walks. She sent us several photos of their time together. I will hire her again!”


“We booked a house sit with Lexi in the past and were so glad she was available again this weekend to take care of our home and our two dogs. The house was clean when we returned, the dogs were well taken care of, and she communicated often while we were away. We'll happily reach out to her again in the future!”


“Madison was fantastic! Our Max has separation issues and a sensitive personality. No, he really really does. Ok, he may be a little spoiled too. Madison kept him entertained with his ball and outside time and lots of snuggles. Max instantly fell in love with her. House was just like it was when she left. Will definitely use her for any future trips.”



“Steven was awesome! I have an older Yorkie and a small terrier mix that can be a handful. I felt totally comfortable leaving them and my home in his hands. My Yorkie's birthday was while I was gone and Steven celebrated it! My pups love him and he will get repeat business from me. 5 star all the way!”


About: I've been walking and pet sitting for almost 6 years now, so I'm very experienced and love to give animals all of my attention. I am also very responsible and pick up after animals when needed. I have owned dogs and cats my entire life and am able to give oral medication to animals. Overall, I am very experienced with animals and love caring for all types of animals, especially dogs and cats! I offer animal walks and sittings and would love to hang out and care for your furry friends. I love loving on them and will provide an excellent service for your animals that they will love and look forward to again and again. I also take care of plants if needed, just let me know! I currently work as a veterinary technician, so I'm around animals all the time. I am happy to care for your lovely animals on my days on and off! I am very attentive and follow pet parents' directions closely. Animals tend to warm up quickly to me as I like to get on their level to greet them as well as offering treats if it is okay with the pet parent.

About: Hi there! I’m Jailee, and I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from my own pets to those of friends, family, and clients. I have hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I’m confident handling everything from daily walks and potty breaks to feeding, administering medications, and providing lots of love and playtime. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics, fostered rescue pets, and even run my own small dachshund breeding program, so I know how to read animal body language and respond calmly in any situation. Whether your pup needs a high-energy walk or a quiet cuddle buddy, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. You can count on me to treat your pet like one of my own—with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I’m reliable, communicative, and always happy to send updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands! I’m currently enrolled in college courses online, which gives me a super flexible schedule and allows me to spend most of my time at home with my animals. Since I work from home and don’t have to commute, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. Your pets will never be left alone for long—I’m usually just a few steps away, whether I’m studying or relaxing with my own dogs. My routine revolves around animal care, so I’m happy to accommodate special feeding times, medication schedules, or extra play sessions. Weekdays and weekends are both open for bookings, and I’m especially available during mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. If you ever need last-minute help, feel free to reach out—I’ve got the flexibility to jump in when needed! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your animal will feel secure, loved, and well cared for. I have experience handling pets with medical needs, behavioral quirks, and separation anxiety, so I always pay close attention to body language and individual routines. I never leave pets unattended outside and always use secure leashes, crates, or gates as needed for their safety. My home is free of hazards and is kept tidy and stress-free to create a relaxing space for animals to decompress. You can count on me to treat your pets like family—with patience, kindness, and constant supervision. I also send regular updates with photos or videos so you can stay connected and confident while you’re away. Trust and transparency matter to me, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in responsible, experienced hands.

About: I’ve taken care of my own personal pets, neighborhood pets, family pets, and when I moved back to Texas four years ago I started working in veterinary clinics as I found my passion as a veterinary technician. I am in school for it as well as it being my job Monday-Friday, so your furbabies will be in safe and loving hands! I am also fear free and cat friendly professional certified. I work 7:30a-5:30p M-Th, so I’m unavailable during those times but am available in the afternoons and weekends to do any basic care you may need, feedings, walking, administering prescriptions or medications. In my own home if your pet is kennel trained, for their own safety at night or while I am gone at work or to the store, they would be safely placed in their kennel to avoid any issues. If they are not kennel trained they will be placed in a separate room without any other animals to avoid any issues. I will be with them as much as possible aside from my work schedule to ensure they are safe and happy, they’ll get their regular walks, feeding schedule and treats with plenty of play time and toys. At your home I will try my best with my work schedule to adhere to the schedule you leave me for your pets walks, feeding routine, etc. to ensure no additional stress is placed on them with you being gone.

About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and grew up with just about every pet you could think of. I have several years of experience walking dogs, pet sitting, and caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable giving medication, handling basic training, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m reliable, patient, and always keep owners updated while their pets are in my care! I am currently living at home for the summer before I go back to my job in France caring for children!! So I am available pretty much everyday! Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication, and keep the space clean. I also share updates and photos so owners feel at ease. My goal is to make every pet feel like family.

About: I love animals. I was employed at TAMU Veterinary school for over ten years. I have fostered dogs for Lone Star Shih Tzus. I am the neighborhood person to call when a stray animal is seen. I will bring the animal home, love, care and feed the animal until the owners can be found. If the owners can't be find, I always rehome! I am honest, dependable, genuine, caring and will care for your dog as part of my family. I have two fur babies now, GIGI is almost 16 years old and she is a Shih Tzu. Chloe was a rescue that found her forever home with me...her breed is Pekingese. I love animals and want to make caring for them a full time job! I am a substitute teacher. I do not work in the summer or during the holidays nor do I work when I have pets that I am caring for. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. The dog stay in the house with me, but we spend a lot of time outside releasing energy.

About: I have loved animals all my life. I just moved to Darlington and my best friends mom told me her 1 cat won't come near me etc...1st day I was here her cat came up to me and let me pet her and she comes out of the room often to get petted. I have had a beagle, german shepherd and 2 lab/rotweiler mixed over the years. I am currently seeking employment so am available everyday/any time until I get a full time job. Can come any day or time if needed. Give them all the love they need, make sure they have food, water and take them on walks/go to bathroom. Play with them as well.

About: Hi I'm Skylar, I have been petsitting since I was 6 with my mom. When I was 12, I started taking care of pets on my own I have cared for many dogs of an array of breeds of all sizes; I have had puppers that had very specific needs (medications, ice water, cuddles 247). And some that only needed some good love and attention while their family was away. I have also cared for many cats and other animals, including Guinea pigs, Flying squires, Rabbits, Fish, Frogs, and Snakes. All pets have different needs, routines, and levels of attention they are used to and comfortable with but no matter the animal, I will be there to take care of their needs and give them as much attention and love as they are comfy with. I will do my very best to keep your loved ones safe and happy and well cared for when you are not able to! I am free weekdays anytime before 5pm, I can also be available for a short drop in anytime after 5pm on weekdays and on weekends. I try to care for my client's pets the way I care for my own.

“Best dog sitter I’ve ever had. Sent me pictures and updates the whole time. 10/10”


Lauren B.
“Lived in the same county as this individual for quite some time, and as such, with her previous veterinary skills she has worked on both of my rescue German shepherds on numerous occasions. I could not suggest anybody better, more qualified or more passionate individu in place of Lauren. She loves dogs more than she loves most people, and I am quite sure that if she had a million dollars, the majority of it would be spent on sanctuary equipment and a plethora of rescues that make the Baja Boys ask "Who stole all our dogs?" If anybody out there wants their dog, watched or cared for by someone who would put her own personal safety in jeopardy in place of an animal, call this woman up and you will not be disappointed.”


Jailee G.
“As Jailee G.’s father, I’ve had the honor of watching her grow into one of the most compassionate, responsible, and driven young women I know—especially when it comes to animals. Jailee is currently a sophomore at Texas A&M University, pursuing her degree in veterinary medicine, a calling she’s been passionate about since childhood. What sets her apart is not just her love for animals, but her hands-on experience—she’s been working as a veterinary technician assistant and veterinary technician since she was just 14 years old. Now at 19, she brings over five years of real-world experience, along with a deep sense of care and professionalism, to every pet she works with. Whether she’s comforting a nervous pup, caring for a senior dog, or simply making sure a pet gets their daily exercise and affection, Jailee approaches every animal with kindness, patience, and knowledge. I’ve watched her rearrange her own schedule just to make sure a pet wasn’t alone or missed a walk. She has a calm, nurturing presence that animals gravitate toward and a strong work ethic that makes her incredibly dependable. Pet parents can have complete confidence knowing their furry family members are in loving, capable, and experienced hands with Jailee. I couldn’t be prouder to recommend her. — John G. (Proud Dad)”


Lauren A.
“Lauren is a natural when it comes to my finicky pets. They are very slow to trust but loved her instantly. She has the biggest heart for animals and is super knowledgeable and reliable. She's been watching my pets for years and I won't trust anyone else with my babies!”


Amy L.
“Amy takes amazing care of my old doggie Millie! (Papillon / 13yrs) I couldn’t ask for someone more dependable and kind. She’s attentive and has a natural connection with animals, which was so comforting to see firsthand. Millie always seems to get excited whenever she gets to spend time with Amy :) My favorite go-to pet sitter!”
