Hey everyone, Denise is the pet sitter you want for your pet babies! My dog Daisy was so excited to go to her home each day. Before we even got the truck stopped she would jump down to the floorboard ready to get out! Denise is so accommodating and we just felt safe leaving Daisy with her. You won’t be disappointed!

About: Hello my name is Paige R. I’m a 22 year old college student at Texas State university. I have so much love for animals! I have been dog walking and sitting for a long time! I have had a lot of different animals through out my life, I’m very experienced with basically every type of animal. I am very responsible and trustworthy, I know it can be nerve wracking to trust a stranger with your fur baby. I can assure you there is nothing to worry about with me, your animal will be in great hands with me! If you are in need of an animal sitter, dog walker, etc. please reach out to me I would be more than happy to help you out and would love to get to spend time with your animals!! Can’t wait to meet yall’s babies! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily/weekly routine! I currently don’t have a job so I have plenty of time to care for animals. I do have classes Monday through Friday, but they’re flexible so I’m still free for those days. I live in a two bedroom apartment, my cat is friendly to dogs and other cats but can be separated if needed. My cat eats on routine schedule and has a catio connected to a window he can go out on to enjoy outside without being able to get away and while being kept safe. I don’t have a yard for a dog to play in but have a big patio and can walk your dog as much as needed.

About: I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve been around animals since I was 5 years old, growing up caring for ranch animals, dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I live a very active lifestyle. I’m an avid runner and extremely into fitness, so staying consistent, disciplined, and energetic is already a huge part of who I am. Taking care of animals naturally goes hand in hand with that lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being outdoors, going on walks, staying active, and keeping pets engaged and happy. I take animal safety and comfort very seriously both inside and outside of my home. I have a fully fenced patio area that provides pets with a secure outdoor space for fresh air, playtime, and exercise while staying safe at all times. I also have two dogs of my own who are very friendly, socialized, and used to being around other animals. However, I understand that every pet has different comfort levels and needs, so my dogs can always be safely crated or separated if necessary to ensure visiting pets feel comfortable and stress-free.

Yan was a great Dogsitter for my Theo. Yan sent several photos throughout the day and I could tell Theo was enjoying his stay and play dates with the other dogs. I definitely will use her servíces again, if she’ll have us back. ☺️

Stephanie was amazing! I was super nervous about leaving my puppy for the first time ever, especially because we were coming in from out of town for the weekend and not super familiar with the area. Stephanie helped ease my nerves with how knowledgeable she is! She kept me updated throughout my furbaby’s stay with videos and pictures! We will definitely be using her again when we come back into town! 10 out of 10!

Super sweet and accommodating with my dog. I had an unexpected trip to the ER and she came over to pick up my dog and watch her. She also has adorable pups that played with my dog and she always came back tired and ready to crash

About: I grew up with a lot of pets so I have always been taking care of animals since I was little, and I love it! I am currently an online college student, so I am home basically all day! This allows me to be able to spend a lot of my time with fur babies! I have two cats of my own that I care for dearly. They are always running around and playing with all their toys and their cat condo. I love going on walks so I would take dogs out on walks regular. I also have a fenced dog park at my apartment that has plenty of space for them to run around in! I have always cared about pets dearly!

About: I love animals. I've had 2 dogs at all times for the last 22yrs. and a few cats. I live in a large 2 bdrm Apt with my 3 sweet Chihuahuas. I am a dog person and this is a dog house. Plenty of room for a few more to play with. My dogs are friendly. We have a dog park on the property. There are only small dogs here as it is a Senior Living. I will walk your dogs around the complex and they can safely play in dog park area. I'm retired for now and spend all my time with my dogs. Your pet will have all our attention. I am open and flexible to any special request you might have. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend. I’m a full time dog Mom. When I wake up I am dressed and out the door walking with them. Then we. One home and eat breakfast. Playtime for a few hours inside and we go out again. I am very interactive with my dogs and any dogs I am sitting for. I have a large 2 bedroom apartment without the clutter so they can run around and out on patio. Outside for walks and at the dog playground.

About: I have extensive experience caring for bunnies, cats, and dogs. My knowledge spans feeding, walking, administering medication, and providing a nurturing environment for all pets. I’m especially skilled at handling sensitive or nervous animals, as well as keeping them active and entertained. I always ensure pets feel safe and loved when they’re in my care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I have more time to dedicate to your pet than someone with a full-time job. I have the flexibility to care for your pets during weekdays and weekends. This allows me to offer personalized, loving care and ensure your pets are never without attention. I provide personalized, loving care in a safe and comfortable environment—whether in my home or yours. I’m able to adjust to last-minute changes and follow all care instructions to ensure your pet feels secure and loved. Your pet will receive the attention they deserve while you’re away.

About: I have extensive experience in caring for animals. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I'm here to provide personalized and loving care for your furry companions. With me as your pet sitter, you can relax knowing your pets are in capable and caring hands while you're away. Let's chat and see how I can help make your pets feel happy and well-loved! I’m a RN who works from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies. I typically try to go for walks in the mornings before it gets too hot outside. I have a 2 year old spayed friendly Frenchie girl who is very well socialized and loves to play! We live in a one story home, with a fenced in yard and a doggy park nearby.
