“Our Duke loves seeing Kallie and she does a great job. I appreciated her being on time, playing with him, feeding him, and loving him like we do. We will use her services again.”


“Kim is great!!! Love the communication, pictures and updates. This week we had a scheduling mixup and didn’t need her at the last minutes and within a couple minutes of letting her know, she had already changed the booking! Very pleased with what she does for us and most importantly, Presley!!!!!”

“Jennifer checked in on my two senior cats for a week and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. Both my cats are on medication and with their age I worry about them constantly. Jennifer was great, I was very comfortable leaving them in her hands. She was excellent with communication, send pictures and volunteered her time to come over once before we left town. Would be happy to hire her again!”

“Emoni is simply a wonderful caretaker for my dog. My dog comes from abuse and is super reactive, but she took to Emoni quickly and they became fast friends. My anxiety about finding someone who can care for my pups when I’m unavailable has been squelched and I’m so glad I found her. Highly recommend her to anyone needing pup care.”

About: I have been taking care of pets for a very long time. Bathing, brushing, soothing, walking, etc. I don't have much professional training experience for other people's pets, but if you tell me what I need to do when I have your pet in my care, then I will make sure it gets done. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I work full time so I am usually only available to board or day care on the weekends or when I take a break from work. I will update my schedule before hand though and we'll often be available on holidays. I can do dropins a few days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog. She loves other animals. If your pets are aggressive to other animals, then let me know. I will try to accommodate as much as possible by keeping them in a separate room.
“She came immediately during my last minute booking and went above and beyond for my pups! She’s a dog whisperer, I highly recommend her to anybody who needs pet services!”

“We were visiting Fredericksburg and needed someone to come our rental house one day and let our dogs out while we day-tripped out of town. Leslie was quick to respond to messages leading up to the pet sitting and did a great job with our two fur babies! She sent us great photos and was very informative with what happened during her stay. I would absolutely recommend Leslie for any Fredericksburg visitors who need a pet sitter for day visits.”

“Thank you Kara for taking care of Gabby! She loved her visits very much. She’s a happy girl! Appreciate your posting photos of her playing and walking. We’ll book with you again when we are here.”

“Lauren always does a wonderful job watching my cat, Minnie, when I’m out of town! Lauren is communicative, sends lots of photos, and makes sure Minnie is cared for when I’m gone.”

“Hayley did a great job with the drop-in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's was flexible with their schedule and great with our specific instructions. Would recommend and will use Hayley again.”

“5 STARS!!! Jennifer was AWESOME!!! I couldn’t have asked for better care for my dog! She went above and beyond to stay in touch with me and let me know how Waco was doing. She’s the best!!!”

“Becky went above and beyond, she was able to fit me into her schedule on short notice, and she came early and was patient with my pup, even as she was struggling to get used to a new sitter. Becky gave lots of treats and love to my fur baby, and communicated with me throughout the visit, to help ease my worries.”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Morgan! I am a stay at home mom of 5 active children. We’re an active family but I homeschool so my children are home with me all day. I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats and various other animals from the time I was very young! My family has always had many pets around our home and my children absolutely love all pets as their own. Pet care would fit right into our daily routine. I have many hands that can help with pet care and ensure that your pet is very spoiled and well loved while in my home. We will not board more than 2 pets at a time. If the two pets are from different homes they will not be left in the same room with each other when we leave our home. Your pets safety while in our care is of utmost importance to me. I can crate your pet as needed or not. Take your pet on walks and make sure they are given plenty of attention and love during their stay in our home.
About: I've had a strong passion for animals since I was very young, and I've spent years caring for them whenever I had the chance. Visiting zoos, animal shelters, and spending time with friends' pets eventually led me to start pet sitting and dog walking at a young age as well. Through over a decade of hands on experience, personal research, and owning reptiles, cats, and other small species, I've learned how to care for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, rodents, fish, and even insects and snails. I combine compassion, patience, and responsibility to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for according to their individual needs. I’m especially knowledgeable about cats and very familiar with canine body language. I also care for stray cats in my neighborhood, which has given me even more experience understanding animal behavior and building trust with shy or nervous pets. However, I’m committed to providing the same level of attentive care to every animal I work with. I’m comfortable with most ages, sizes, and species of pets, excluding bottle babies and giant dog breeds. Please let me know in advance if your pet has severe aggression, medical concerns, or special care instructions, and provide emergency contact information for a veterinarian or trusted person if needed. I can help with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, cleanup, litter boxes, and poop scooping. I understand that pet care can sometimes be messy, and I’m patient with accident-prone animals. Animal care is something I genuinely care deeply about, and I always strive to provide an experience that leaves both pets and owners feeling happy, comfortable, and confident. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! I’m currently available to provide care any day of the week, including holidays unless stated otherwise, just ask! While I prefer not to stay overnight with new clients right away, I’m happy to adapt by arriving early or staying later if needed. For regular clients and pets I’ve become more familiar with, we may be able to arrange longer consecutive stays or overnight care. I’m also pretty flexible and can usually adapt to last minute requests, so feel free to reach out and we can try to work something out. I’m always happy to provide updates and photos during visits if you’d like them as well. I will give my full attention and care to both your pet and your home. I’m willing to go above and beyond to keep your pet comfortable and your home clean and mess-free. I keep food dishes clean, toys picked up, and always make sure all doors, windows, and gates are properly locked and secured before leaving your home. I can carefully follow any special instructions provided, and I will care for your animals with the same love, patience, and attention to detail that I give to my own.
About: I am a prevet student at Brigham Young University. I hope to use this job as an opportunity to gain more hands on experience with pets. I have been caring for pets all my life and know that this is my calling. I am here to give your pet %110 percent of my care and attention. I am available every day of the week, and have the transportation necessary to be there for your pets whenever needed. My schedule is flexible and subject to change. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who can be kept separate from clients dogs if necessary. I can drive moderate distances to care for pets and can provide necessary exercise or care if instructed.
About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover who treats every pet like part of the family. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog or cat in someone else’s care, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine closely and send regular updates with photos so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. My focus is making sure your pet feels happy, secure, and loved the entire time they’re with me. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family member! I work full time at a school very close to my home. I'm off by 3:30 every day and depending on how close client is to my work, I can go during my lunch to care for pets. I have a fully fenced yard with a swimming pool which is great for the summer. I have a 4 year old labradoodle who loves to play and is very friendly.
