“Alice was great! She stayed for one night with my two dogs, and sent updates and pictures. It was our first time away with our dogs and we were able to relax knowing they were in good hands. 10/10 recommend her! We will def using her in the future.”

“Candice did a great job with our doggos!! They were so tuckered out by how much she played with them. Candice sent regular updates of our pups while we were gone. Definitely will be using her again in the future ?”


About: What sets me apart is my six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, combined with formal animal hospital training. My passion began when I got my first puppy, whom I personally trained in potty training and basic commands such as sit, spin, and catch. Over time, I also gained experience managing multiple dogs in a household, learning how to balance different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. During these times, I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, medication administration, and general companionship. I plan my day to prioritize pets’ needs, ensuring they get consistent care, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I currently provide pet care exclusively at my clients' homes because I already have pets at my own residence, and I'm not permitted to bring in more. While at my clients' homes, I tailor my care for their dogs based on their specific preferences. Regular updates on their pets are a priority for me, and I always communicate promptly with clients if I have any questions regarding their pets.
About: I personally have two dogs, several cats and a pet pig. I care for them/bathe them and gave them their shots/vaccinations that were needed. I take them to the vet when they aren’t feeling well. I work at a car dealership. My schedule is usually Monday-Friday from 9am-7pm & Saturday 9am-6pm, but can vary depending on my last customer I get. I will play with your pets whenever they would like to, I can help potty train them as well. I can try to teach tricks if they do not already know any. I will feed them the proper amount of food when it is time.

“Sol watched our dogs this weekend and did an amazing job. He stayed with them the whole time, kept up with all their walks, and handled their meds perfectly. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a clean house, which says a lot about the care and attention he gave them. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We’d absolutely trust Sol to watch them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dog sitter.”

“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.”

About: Since I was a teen I've taken care of my neighbors' dogs and cats every now and then. I've house sat and done drop in visits so I have plenty of experience. I did a birds and small mammals internship at the Waco zoo in summer of 2023 so I have a bit of exotic animal care experience if it is needed. I'm working full time right now but so far the shifts aren't super long so I have time to feed and take out any pets that I need to take care of. I take very good care of any pets I need to. I pay attention to my own, and others. I will love on them, give you updates, and check in with any questions I have so I can provide the best care possible.
