“Great, my puppy really enjoy his walks with Rebecca, she is professional and keeps the communication with me , she is helpful and willing to meet my expectations”


About: Sometimes I need to stretch & get some fresh air. Of course our pets are gonna need that too! I love walks & fur babies. A perfect combo :) I’m currently in school online. My free time is used up by baking or cooking or cleaning. I still have free time so what better way to use it than to take fur babies on walks! I think of our pets as humans. They’re loving, supportive, funny animals. They only show love so why not show it back. 🐾 🐾 🐾

“Jennifer is great! She works well with my dog & her needs. She always communicates well with me & is very loving to my dog :)”


About: With over 15 years of pet care experience and a proud dog mom myself, caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I’ve worked with pups of all sizes, temperaments, and needs, and nothing makes me happier than meeting new furry friends and giving them the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or just quality cuddle time, I treat every pet like family. I can’t wait to meet your baby! I have an incredibly flexible schedule being that I work for myself it allows me the availability to provide top notch care 24/7! Let’s chat! I have a fenced yard and my fur baby is incredibly friendly, I’ve never experienced an issue having other dogs around both my dog or kids.

About: Hi!! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up with dogs & started pet sitting for neighbors and friends when I was young. Being around animals has always felt like second nature, and I’ve loved caring for pets of all shapes and sizes over the years. Now, with a super flexible schedule, I’m excited to give your pet the attention, care, and love they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or just some extra playtime, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and well cared for every step of the way!! I’m currently a flight attendant, so my schedule is super flexible — giving me extra time to care for your pups!! I’m often available for last-minute walks, check-ins, or consistent weekly care — whatever your pet needs! When caring for pets in their own home, I always treat the space with the same respect and care I would my own. I understand how important it is to maintain routines, keep things tidy, and create a calm, stress-free environment for your pet while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just providing some comforting company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for — all while keeping your home secure and spotless!!

“I highly recommend Natalie for your dog walking needs! She was punctual and responsive and made me feel assured Daisy would get proper care while I was gone.”


“They are so amazing with last minute help!”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I helped raise our family dogs growing up and later cared for my senior dog, who needed daily medication and extra support with mobility. That experience taught me how to be patient, gentle, and attentive to changing needs. I'm confident administering meds, sticking to routines, and making sure pets feel safe, calm, and loved—no matter their age or energy level. My precious dog passed away recently, and I’m looking to fill that void by offering loving care to other pets. As a student, I have more free time during the summer than I’d like, so I’m excited to dedicate that time to helping care for your pets. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or simply spending time with them, I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit their needs and provide the attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or theirs, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. At my home, I will create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play and relax, and I'll ensure everything is secure with gates or barriers as needed. When sitting in your home, I respect your pet’s routine and follow any specific instructions to make them feel comfortable and loved. My focus is to provide a safe, familiar environment for your pet, whether it’s with their favorite toys, food, or a cozy sleeping spot. In both settings, I ensure your pet feels relaxed and well-cared for at all times.


About: My name is Nikki. I am full time Vet Tech. I will walk, run, play, and look after your fur babies while you can’t be around. Whether you like them walked on a leash, taken to a dog park, or just let them outside I’ll entertain them. I also do not mind keeping up your training on any puppy’s while you are away. I’m sorry i do not offer for pets to stay at my home, address because I have 2 dogs of my own, a Great Dane and a Weimaraner, and other dogs are not always fans of dogs in that size. But with that being said I do have plenty of big a little dog experience to looks after all size fur babies with no problems. I am also comfortable around senior and special needs patients. I only work 4 hours in the morning then I get a 1 hour lunch break ( can take up to 2 hours if needed) and then I work 4 additional hours before I am off for the day. I care for them as if they were my own, and try to provide them with as little disruption to their routine as possible while their people are away.

About: I have two dogs of my own. They are two French bulldogs who are 3 and 8 named Frank and Henry. I love and care for them very much as I grew up and live in an animal loving family. My schedule is very flexible. I work in aviation and have lots of time off in two week increments so when I am home I am available to do what I love to do I have lived in apartments and houses with my own animals. I can take of any sized dogs. I regularly feed, bathe and walk dogs. Any other treatments (eye drops, ointments, medicine, ect…) I am happy to do. We treat all animals as if they are our own

About: For the past 5 years, being the helpful caretaker for my family and friends fur babies became an unexpected and enjoyable hobby of mine! At this point in time I figured why not expand out? :) Pet care fits into my single mom life perfectly as I do have a lot of extra time to care for pets with my daughter who also enjoys the company! Your fur babies are welcomed into my home with care and respect. I do have a fenced, medium sized back yard and a safe environment inside my home. I want to know all of your babies special needs and requests!

About: Hi! I’m Michelle, a passionate animal lover and proud pet mom to a playful 5 year old Bengal cat and a sweet 4 year old French Bulldog. Caring for my own fur babies has taught me just how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets when you’re away or busy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for long walks, playing, or simply giving them love and attention. Every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Whether you’re looking for someone to check in, take your pup for a daily walk, or provide companionship while you’re away, I’d love to help keep your fur baby comfortable and loved. I treat every animal as if they were my own! Pet care fits perfectly in my weekend routine! I have so much time to check in or walk a furry friend. Its brightens up my week. I care for pets in my home by making sure they eat twice a day, get play time in, and cuddles. I would love to be there for your fur baby while you’re away.

About: Hi there! My name is Fabiola, and I’d be honored to care for your beloved pets. I’m currently looking for an extra source of income, and what better way than by doing something I genuinely love—spending time with animals! While I’ve never owned a dog of my own, I’ve had hands-on experience helping care for my roommate’s chihuahua, Juju, throughout college. I co-parented her while my roommate balanced a busy school and work schedule. In addition, I volunteered at Safe Haven Animal Shelter just outside of Lubbock during my time at Texas Tech, where I earned my bachelor’s degree. I’m attentive to dogs’ needs—whether it’s a potty break, a walk around the park, or just some quality playtime and affection. I understand that pets require love, patience, and attention, and I’m more than ready to give them the care they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! I currently work full time Monday - Thursday. I am free all day on Fridays and have limited availability on Saturdays afternoons ( mornings I’m available) I offer dog walking services and dog sitting services at your convenience! I do not plan to take the dogs to my own home (I believe dogs should be comfortable and feel safe in the environment they know well). During dog walks I will be willing to share my location!

Ali & Priscilla A.
“Ali loves animals he is the only person I know that will adopt any animal that needs a home and gives them food, shelter and a place of their own but most importantly he gives them love, Ali gives them the type of love that they never had so it encourages us like humans to step up and love the way he does. One time I was in need of a dog sitter and even made my dog a nice home of his own, my dog fell so in love that now I take him over every now and then. Most people would drive past a pet in need but not Ali, no sir he will make sure that pet makes it out to sniff another day. !”
