“Tisha was wonderful with our boy Rip. From the time they met at their first meeting, I knew she was the one . Rip immediately liked her, now after her stay with him, I think he loves her! Even our feral cat who doesn’t let ANYONE go near him but us, let Tisha pet him the first time they met. I felt totally at ease being away, knowing my pup was well cared for. She played with him, cuddled with him and sent us a lot of fun pictures. Highly recommend ( but not when we need her!)”


About: Started helping dog/cat sitting as a side gig with my mother’s clients in high school. Just moved back to the Corpus/Portland area and looking to continue. Not only do I please my clients, but most importantly their pets! I grew a love caring for animals on our family ranch in West Texas. (Horses, Cows, Goats, Roosters, Dogs, Cats, + more) I am currently working part-time as a server. My schedule changes week to week, but besides that my lax school schedule makes me very flexible. My girlfriend and I are very active people. Playing at a park or going for a stroll is just as much fun for us as it is for your pet.
“Kirsten took great care of our two dogs in our home. I appreciated the picture updates and the great communication! She was also a very tidy house guest. We would definitely book with Kirsten again!”

“This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.”


“Just moved to the area for work and Arden was our hero when we needed someone for nine days! She took such incredible care of our pup and made us feel completely safe with me being new to this area and not knowing anyone. We came back from our trip to a happy puppy who played and was well loved during our time away. She will be our go to at all times! Mieka was crazy about her ❤️”

“Regina was so great with our puppy. She was very communicative, sent pictures and videos, and truly cared about our dog’s wellbeing. I would highly recommend her for your pet’s care.”

About: Came from a family of multiple large + small breed dogs (pitties, boxers, chihuahuas, I can handle just about anything!) Mother to 3 cats now. I worked at a dog boarding facility in Austin for 2 years. I love creatures of all kinds. I consider my approach to be gentle and intuitive, I'm good at reading animals body language. Experienced with working in high tension situations as well and acting on my toes accordingly for the safety of all! I work an 8-5 full time schedule Monday-Friday. After work + weekend visits are preferred, but can also drop by before work if needed. I treat your home with the respect and care I would my own. I'll keep it a safe and clean environment for your fur baby.
“Tyler was an amazing rover for Fen. She is high energy and requires a lot of attention. He took her on walks and played nonstop. I appreciate his flexibility and he left my home in great condition!”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own. A corgi, a Pomeranian and a toy maltipoo. They are my world and bring so much joy to me. I love meeting and getting to know and love others pets that they adore I am not working at the moment so my schedule is open and willing to come whenever is needed. I love meeting and playing with new furry friends I have 3 dogs they are very friendly. We have a huge backyard with a doggy door all the fences are secured. We love to play outside
“Samantha took such amazing care of our zoo! The dogs absolutely adored her and she was so patient with their energy and needy snuggles. The cats thought she was cool and even my super shy cat came out to visit with her which is huge. When we came home it was clear that she took amazing care of the babies, followed all of our requests and kept the house well cared for on top of it all. Best of all she provided consistent updates, pictures, and videos to ease this nervous momma.”

“Madalyn sent many pictures and my girls loved her - even my shy girl that takes a minute to warm up. She took her time with her and she was snuggling with her before we knew it!! She even helped to tidy up my home and wash the sheets and blankets before I arrived. She will be my go-to for any future trips!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and several years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every fur baby like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to the care your pet needs and the routine you prefer. I understand it can be stressful to be away from your babies, and some may need a little extra love. As a pet owner myself, I want you to feel confident, secure, and worry-free knowing your loved one is well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and provide consistent attention. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and crates available if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup is a playful puppy still learning the ropes or a senior dog needing extra love and patience, I’ve got the experience and heart to meet their unique needs. 🐶 Special Skills: Experienced in basic puppy training, crate acclimation, and potty routines Gentle, attentive care for senior dogs — including medication reminders, slow walks, and extra cuddles Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels Can administer oral medications and special diets Daily updates and photos so you feel connected every step of the way! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a long work trip, you can rest easy knowing your best friend is in caring, capable hands. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! 🐕💛 Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine — not an add-on, but something I genuinely look forward to. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning potty breaks, mid-day walks, or calm evening cuddle time. I plan my schedule to make sure each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and presence they need — especially important for puppies who need structure or senior dogs who need a gentle pace. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. I prioritize their well-being as I would a family member’s, and I’m always tuned in to changes in behavior, mood, or energy that might need a little extra attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. 🐾 In My Home: I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spaces for naps, indoor play, and supervised outdoor time (if applicable). I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets personal attention. I follow your feeding and potty schedule, administer any needed meds, and send daily updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and relaxed. 🐾 In Your Home: I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet. I keep things tidy, stick to your dog’s normal routine — walks, feeding, bedtime rituals — and make sure your pet feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or do other light tasks while you're away. Every pet is different, so I always ask detailed questions before a booking to learn their habits, quirks, and what makes them feel safe and loved.
“Jenna was great, arrived promptly.Communicated well. She took pictures, walked my teacups, gave them treats. I felt very comfortable leaving my teacup Yorkies w her. Would definitely ask her to pup sit again.”

“An absolutely wonderful lady that has amazing communication, will definitely be booking with her again. She is kind and patient with the animals and I couldn’t be happier with her service.”
