“Emma was so amazing with my girls! I was very hesitant to bring on a new sitter in the middle of a medical shit-show for my oldest dog. Emma showed up at 5:45 AM (That already earns her a 'you're amazing!' in my book) and stayed with my two younger girls so that I could take my oldest one for specialized care at a vet teaching hospital. She didn't mind that I didn't know when I'd get back. She didn't mind that I'm a complete hot mess express. The girls absolutely loved her, and I loved that the first thing she did at our meet and greet was play with them. When my middle girl didn't want to eat while I was gone, she even tried hand-feeding her. Emma is the MVP, and I know I will be using her many times in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of indoor and outdoor dogs/cats I have had multiple pets I am an animal lover and super attentive to details and will make sure your pet has all the needs and love while you’re away. I am great at playing fetch and I am great at making sure your pet is happy before our departure. Not a single worry in the world! Happy healthy fur baby! Snow, Rain or shine I would love to be a fit for you and your fur baby(s) I am a homemaker, I have 2 children under 3 and I have available hours throughout the week M-F to travel and walk/stay/play with your animal(s) to fit your pet family’s needs. I have a special place in my heart for animals and I hope that I can be the best fit for your family! I live in a very quite neighborhood everyone is respectful and I have a large backyard with open area to fetch or take a nice stroll, I also have the option to have your pet safely secure if they just want to sun bathe or get some fresh air.

About: While I enjoy all animals, cats are my favorite. I have loved and cared for countless cats requiring various levels of care from kittens to seniors. I have experience administering shots and medications, personalized feeding, cleaning, and even birthing. I have studied and researched cat behaviors since I could read. I love each fur baby like they are my own. I'm the friend that always has cat food in their car or leaves the party to sit with the cat that's hiding in the closet. I work full-time, but I have all evenings and weekends free to spend time with your pets. If nearby, I can make quick trips during the day. I can dedicate as much time as needed during weekends. I am also able to keep cats at my home if preferred for more interaction time and socialization with my two friendly kitties. Dog (or cat) walks are limited to evenings or weekends. Must have a leash/harness. I let the animals take charge for the most part. I find that they will tell you what they need, and it is up to you to interpret them. Structure can be important, but following their lead and understanding their instincts can save you time and energy. I also try to be firm when it comes to meals and treats. (sometimes a challenge!) Health and longevity are most important to me.
About: I've loved and cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities since I was 13 years old. Over the past 7 years, I've built real experience with puppies, seniors, large breeds, and dogs with special needs or medications — giving each one the patience and attention they deserve. Whether I'm walking, dropping in, or house sitting, your dog is always in caring, capable hands. Neighbors and families have trusted me to treat their pets like my own, and that's a responsibility I take to heart. Multi-dog households are no problem — the more, the merrier! Being home from college means I have a flexible, wide-open schedule throughout the day — and I couldn't think of a better way to fill it than caring for pets! Morning, midday, or afternoon, I'll work around whatever fits you best. Consistency matters, and I'm committed to showing up reliably every time. Your pet's safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Before every visit I confirm how often you'd like updates so there are never any surprises. Your home and your furry family member will always be treated with total respect. Fair warning though — I love taking photos, so expect plenty of cute snapshots sent straight to your phone. Happy pet, happy owner — that's always the goal!

About: I have always loved having pets, especially since I grew up with two of them in my household. One of them was a Cane Corso and the other was a Chihuahua Terrier mix. Additionally, my grandmother has three tiny dogs that I have had the pleasure of growing up with. My love for animals, especially dogs, has inspired me to pursue a career as a zoologist. In fact, I even took vet classes while attending Duncanville High School. I have a balanced schedule that allows me to take care of my pets. As a student athlete and animal enthusiast, I'm currently home full time having recently graduated from college. I have a fenced back yard and a open front yard. As far as dog waking, I live in a circular community which make it very easy to walk around, yet get a exercise as well

About: Vet nurse 10+ years. CPR Certified. The best quality care for your furry family members. I am trained and qualified to ensure that your pet has everything they want and need. I actively work at several veterinary hospitals in the area. I make my own schedule so I can be flexible. My professional career is directly related to pet care so it’s a huge part of my life. I take pet care very seriously. I love animals and treat them with compassion and respect. If they have an accident or make a mess I clean it and make sure they always have clean, dry, and comfortable bedding. Food and water bowls are filled and cleaned regularly. I will be as involved or uninvolved as they need to be. I let them show me what degree of interaction they’re comfortable with and I meet there where they’re at. If they are a lone wolf but still like to hang out from a distance that’s fine. Over the course of my career, I’ve been trained for almost every scenario regarding cats and dogs in almost any imaginable situation. With my emergency and critical care background I am always passively monitoring their vitals, general condition, and i will respond quickly, calmly, and appropriately should an issue or emergency arise. There is no better option for your pets care.
About: I have had my dog millie for 8 years now, which i begged for ever since middle school. I have trained her and she knows all the tricks, so i have experience in training especially when young. She is a vizsla poodle mix and if you know anything about vizslas is that they are very high energy dogs. She has been on many adventures with me and i am always down for some walks. Many family members have relied on me to care for their pups while away on vacations. I have been bathing/grooming my dog myself ever since i’ve had her so i am comfortable with bathing dogs and strong enough to bathe larger dogs. I have also cared for reptiles and have taken care of bearded dragons and leopard geckos if you need other animals cared for as well. I am currently working part time at a dental office as an assistant. I have Fridays plus weekends completely available as well as evenings on week days. My boss takes frequent trips so i also have a lot of free time during those days. I have a vizsla poodle mix that is 8 years old whom i have cared for since she was 6 months old. We also have another vizsla to keep her company and the play often. I have a fenced in backyard and have trained mine to potty on command (it’s routinely at this point). I do not have crates in my home so you will have to bring one if that is preferred. We have gates in the house to keep the puppers away from wandering around at night so there is an option to separate.
About: I love animals of all kinds. I have had cats and dogs my whole life as well as help watch my neighbors pets while they are gone. Let me take great care of your pet while you're away! My schedule varies, sometimes I travel for work but when I am home I work from home so pet sitting is very flexible and easy for me. I can accomodate last minute bookings also. I have a large yard for pets to get excersice and I live in the country.

About: I quickly form bonds of mutual respect with the pets I care for, I have a degree in veterinary science and use it frequently to provide the best care possible. My weekdays are always available, Friday through Sunday is typically my time off but on occasion, I will have limited availability on those provided days.
