About: My experience includes house and dog sitting for my grandparents, who have 2 dogs, as well as my sister, who has 3 dogs. I also have grown up with pets in my house my entire life. I am currently a full-time college athlete who would love to help you with your pet. During the offseason, I am available most afternoons, nights, and weekends. I care for every pet with loving compassion offering snuggles and treats. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks. I have taught mine to sit, stay, lay down, rollover, shake, high five, and speak.
About: Over the years we have had trouble finding sitters besides the local vets office. We have preferred in home care and found it hard to find during important dates. We are a loving family with our own pets and small farm. Our family is very active and we can spend quality time with your babies making sure their every need is met while you are away. We have a fenced yard with many acres to enjoy. We will care for puppies as well as senior pets. I work from home and have for many years. Available all days of the week and holidays. We also have the availability for farm stays if needed for larger animals and livestock. We have a brand new home as well as a large barn. We offer medications if needed and prefer your babies be family friendly as we do have other animals and pets on premises.

“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.”

“Thank you so much Tisha and Wayne for coming to our house in San Antonio to stay while we were on vacation. You took great care of our girls as you always do. We are so glad you were willing to come to our house to watch the dogs. We really appreciate the fact that the girls could stay in their own place and have a lot of fun playing with their buddies too. Tisha and Wayne are such great people and we felt completely comfortable having them stay in our home while we were away. (this is the first time anyone has ever stayed at our house without us being there too.) We hope we can do this again in the future!! Love you both!”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets and I love what I do. Meeting new animals and being able to give a sense of peace to the owners while they are away is fulfilling. I like helping anyway that I can. I work at a Vet clinic so I see animals every day already so spending time with more animals is an added bonus. I work at a veterinary clinic full time. I work 10 hour shifts 4 times a week. Always off on Sundays. Rotate shifts on Saturdays. As long as you’re comfortable with my hours then I’ll make the pet sitting experience fun and enjoyable. I slowly approach the animals that are new to me to give them time to get used to me before they meet me. I like to gain a bonding experience by either going out for a walk with them or playing with a favorite toy of theirs to gain respect.
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.
“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.”


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: Hello, my name is Hannah. I have been a dog sitter for about five years now I have watched dogs all ages sizes and energy. I own three full-blooded golden retrievers so I am very well knowledgeable on dogs. I have also house set and done other chores around the home while dog sitting. I have a part time job and go to school full time. Pet care fits into my daily routine because it allows me to watch animals and house it while also studying and being able to go to school full-time I truly prefer to keep the animal in their original environment. It’s easier on the dog versus pulling them out of their comfort and moving them to a different environment.
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.
About: I absolutely love animals so dearly I’m great with young and hyper dogs or cats I am a cat mom to the most beautiful girl I would like to try to do pet care daily or if not than many times a week, I’m always down for going on a walk especially with a fur friend!! If I were to care for pets in my own home,I would make sure we have space to play and I do have a backyard that’s fenced , they will get lots of love:)
