“Claudia was great and reliable with my 3 month old kitten, she loves cats and she is so kind☺️ I was grateful that she was able to check on my kitten when I was traveling”


“I had to leave town on short notice, and I'm so thankful Lindsey was able to squeeze us in! She came over for a quick meet and greet, and I could tell right away she was a calm person who would be great with my shy timid little girl... and she was! She sent photos and kept me updated on how she was doing... I'll DEFINITELY reach out to Lindsey again!”


“Andria was amazing!!! I had a few issues and last minute changes and she worked with me no matter what! it’s hard to leave my baby and I can tell how much fun he had with her. She definitely gave me a peace of mind and always sent pictures. I recommend her 100% if you want someone trustworthy and loving to your baby! Andria thank you again! will definitely be re booking”


“This was our first time hiring a sitter for drop-in pet minding, and Karen made it an incredibly comfortable and low-stress experience. Daily check-ins complete with pictures and a little report kept us smiling and looking forward to the next day, so we could see more cute pet pics. Karen even caught a problem with our pool that we were able to inform our landlord of so he could take care of it while we're out of country - she really just went above and beyond, and we're so grateful for her work 🥰 We'll be hiring her again in the future, and I promise you won't regret doing the same!”


“Addison was awesome! She had great communication, friendly, and sent lots of pictures and videos of Joji having a blast so I had no worries. Joji loved her and I would definitely recommend Addison to anyone looking to book with her!”


“Courtney did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Smores, while we were away in Austin. She was incredibly accommodating and took the appointment on short notice, which we truly appreciated. Courtney even came over the night before to meet Smores, which gave us peace of mind. Her communication throughout was excellent, and she came over twice to let Smores out as planned. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely call on her again in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Rebecca went above and begin with my cat Bowie! She even configured a way for me to drop my keys off with her in a lockbox. And she cleaned his food bowl without being asked. Will 100% be using her again”


“Morgen was great with our dogs! She was prompt, responsive, and took great care of our dogs! Highly recommend her to those looking for someone to help with their animals! We will be reaching out to her again if needed!”


“Our cats appeared well cared for by Jenny when we came back home from a recent trip. She kept us updated of her daily visits and shared pictures. Will surely look to Jenny for help when we travel out of town next!”


“We had the absolute best experience with Myranda while we were away in Italy for two weeks. She took such wonderful care of our two cats, Brakes and Basil. From the very beginning, she was responsive, communicative, and totally on top of everything—which made it so much easier for us to relax and enjoy our trip. Brakes can both be a little particular and tend to hide (as cats can do sometimes), but Myranda clearly took the time to get to know them, and it really showed. She gave them so much love and attention, and it was obvious they felt safe and happy with her. We loved getting all the updates and photos—it really meant a lot to see them so content while we were away. We came home to two very well-cared-for and chatty cats and a tidy home. I truly can’t recommend her enough. She’s kind, trustworthy, and clearly has a real heart for animals. We’d be thrilled to have her watch Brakes and Basil again in the future.”


“Jessica fulfilled a last minute request for me to drop in on Bella. She was responsive and provided excellent service. She also provided several pictures. I would use her again!”


“Katherine & Sudeep took care of my two cats and exceeded my expectations! I usually count on friends and neighbors who fly in & out within a few minutes and often leave the crusty, dirty cat food dishes for me clean upon return. From the meet & greet, I was already impressed with their focus on getting to know my "girls," finding out my routines & concerns, and letting me know what they needed from me. Sudeep is the declared cat whisperer and within seconds of walking in the door, he was down on the floor with my younger flirty feline. My shy girl warmed up to them quickly, easily evidenced by the fun photos I received each day. They spent time on the floor cuddling, brushing, feeding treats and making great friends. The litterbox was changed often and there were no messes for me to clean up upon my return. Katherine & Sudeep make a great, reliable team and I will happily pay for their help the next time--their quality is worth my peace of mind.”


“Ashley was good with our cats and dog, and was always easy to reach! Her communication was great and she sent pictures, too. I will definitely book Ashley again. Thank you, Ashley!”


About: I have always been an animal lover but I really started getting into taking care of animals in high school. My first job was at Country Friends Vet Clinic. During that time I got my CVA 1 certification(certified veterinary assistant) and I ended up working for them until I graduated high school(an amazing 2 1/2 years!). During my high school years I adopted two cockatiels named Ollie and Speckles. They became my bestest little friends. It was then that I realized I loved taking care of pets. My senior year of high school I also ended up adopting a Leopard Gecko I named Hikari! She loves watching top gun😂. I then moved out to college and got my Bachelor’s Degree while working as an Operating Room technician at Texas A&M Small Animal Hospital. I also recently(Nov. 2024) earned my RECOVER Basic Life Support Certification. It was in college that I got my first pup, Atreides. She was my soul dog and I loved her to bits. Three years later I adopted my Belgian Malinos, Azula, to give her a friend. I also found out that I love training dogs and so I spend most of my free time seeing what crazy things I can teach my pups! After Atreides passed, I adopted another German Shepherd in honor of her, a puppy named Ashoka. She is my little shadow and always makes sure I’m taken care of. All of this is to say I have tons of experience with high energy pups and I don’t forget the small animals! I am a full time college student so during the school year I might have a little more limited of a schedule but if I’m free I’ll definitely be able to swing by to check on your fur babies! I will also have more time on weekends to care for your pets. I am a big fan of always having something stimulating for your pet to do! Whether that is playing with toys, doing enrichment toys, or training basic obedience I like to make sure I am doing something exciting with your pet! With all that play I always remember to provide water in this Texas heat. While taking care of your fur babies I will feed, walk, play and clean up after them so you don’t have to worry when you are away! I also love exotics!(I have two cockatiels and a leopard gecko)

“Devin made my time away from my dogs more bearable. she checked in every-time she went to check on them and even went the extra mile to buy them dog food before they ran out. My dogs seemed to have enjoyed her, we will definitely be rebooking her in the future!”


“Naomi is so good with my dogs! I can tell they are comfortable with her! Thanks you Naomi for making my dogs and their parents feel so comfortable with your services!”


“Andrea was great with Jax. She checked in often and provided great feedback on her time with him and clarified everything to ensure his needs were met. I can tell he enjoyed his time with her and I will definitely be re-booking with Andrea in the future.”


About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13 I’ve taken care for my family and neighbors, I have my own fur baby’s myself, I grew up with small and big dogs and cats. I love all fur babies <3 Im currently working part time so my schedule can be flexible if I can be noticed a week early and can organize my schedules e In my clients home, I can follow and understand if they have a routine to follow and care for specific instructions, I can keep the fur baby daily routine consistent and play with them and/ or take on walks etc. feed them the same amount I am told to. I love giving pets and love and all sorts of affection if they need it, I am very wary of any signs of unusual behavior and will notify if anything seems off and most importantly treat your home with respect.
