About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I was a little girl. Friends and Family know my passion and heart for fur babies. I’m currently a Stay at Home Mom. I love animals and I’m open and available to take care of your fur babies seven days a week. I also work PT at Fuzzy Friends Rescue in Waco! My schedule is very flexible and I’m always willing to work around your needs. My passion is to help animals anyway that I can. It is truly my First Love :) I also started fostering animals from The Human Society of Central Texas which is truly amazing blessing to do. If either my job or fostering interferes with the dates you are needing I am very flexible and I will adjust to your needs. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs. My yard is fenced in around my house and I also have 3 acres of land I can walk your dogs. I also can easily crate your animals if that helps. I am available to pickup and drop off your animals at your house. I am also flexible most days.

About: I have raised, bottle fed, and trained all sorts of animals for my entire life. Being surrounded by these loving creatures is what makes me the happiest. I have experienced owning, and being fully responsible for dogs, cats, horses, birds, lizards, snakes, spiders, and more. I am a mother of one Boxer, Lana. I take training and nurturing animals very seriously, because in my eyes, they are children and deserve the 1 on 1 time just as much as we do. I hope I get the opportunity to take care of your baby! I am a full time student at TSTC and work part time as a server on the weekends. During the week, I have plenty of time after classes to spend time with your furry friend. I am also available certain times on the weekend, depending on my work schedule. Safety is my #1 concern, especially when it comes to animals. Every furry friend should feel safe and loved. I always give every animal the opportunity to introduce themselves to me (vice versa) at a pace that is comfortable to them. I like to determine the animal’s demeanor so that I am able to care for them to my greatest ability. From there, I am typically able to proceed with enrichment activities, exercising and cuddling with our friend.

“Brittany was awesome!! This was our first time using Rover and we were nervous about leaving our girls, but Brittany made it a great experience. She kept us up to date with pictures and comments. She even went above and beyond and brought our packages inside for us. 10/10 recommend. Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I've had cats for most of my life and volunteered at animal shelters for over 5 years. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility and even did some training with the dogs there! I deeply care for the dogs I serve and have been around dogs of all sizes and personalities! I have also worked with service dogs, anxious pets, and small animals/exotics! I currently work from home and part time as a barista and have an open schedule to fit in visits! I typically do 3 visits for each day you're gone, and include playtime and a walk for each visit! I will follow your daily schedule as closely as I possibly can! Pets are monitored closely and positive reinforcement techniques are used! I'm MORE than happy to provide photo + video updates/answer phone calls if you want to check in on your pet! I want you to have absolute peace of mind while you're gone!

About: I have a genuine love for animals/pets. I believe that the unconditional love our pets give us is a precious gift. It is a privilege to experience such a special bond. I consider my fur baby, family. I understand the expectations of providing care for such a precious part of people’s lives & I will do my best to ensure the best, personable care possible. ♥️ My current schedule is very flexible. With adequate notice, I will be available to provide weekly service's; such as walking, pet sitting, feeding & other pet care as requested. I do well with all size dogs; however, if your dog is large or aggressive, I would rather not take them on walks. I would be comfortable with letting them outside to play in a fenced yard! I can provide requested services for walking and pet sitting. Best if at the pet owner’s home if pet sitting. I have a precious little dog that I adopted 15-years-ago; however, he does not like sharing his time!

About: I have cared for pets and people for many years. I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits & chickens, and I dream of someday having my own homestead. I have years of experience as a care taker for children & the elderly, but if I'm being honest I much prefer the company of pets over people! I've fostered feral cats and rescued runaway dogs. There is something so pure about the love of an animal. I have a daughter (3 years old now) who loves animals so much and gets so excited every time she gets to meet a doggie or kitty, so she truly loves coming along with me for these jobs! My schedule is very flexible at this time: I'm available for daytime visits and overnight care to spend time with and love on your fur-babies! 😻 I have a great deal of respect when visiting others homes. I always take special care to leave it cleaner than I found it and tidy up any messes as needed. A clean home is a happy home! Bedding in the crate needs to be laundered or litter box needs to be cleaned out? No problem! I can also water plants, take in the mail, put trash cans out, pickup packages from the porch, load the dishwasher or whatever may be needed! I want to be of service to you and your pet as much as I can during my time in your home. References available upon request.

About: I own 3 dogs and a cat along with a few other small pets. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and love all breeds. My husband and I own a high fence exotic deer business, being around all different animals/ pets is a normal thing. I’m looking for something to do when the kids are at school so I figured why not do something I love and make a little extra money too. I care for all my animals I own and help my friends/ family with theirs when needed. I personally won’t be caring for clients pets in my home. I can offer services to come to your home and play/ walk your dogs or cats for you.

About: I’m not just a sitter—I live the pet life every day. Between my three dogs, a pig, and a few ducks, I’m used to energy, mess, and all the personality that comes with it. Big dogs, little dogs, sweet pups, stubborn ones—I’ve handled them all. I’ve got six acres for safe running and exploring, plus plenty of time for cuddles when it’s calm. I’ll keep you updated honestly, because I know how it feels to wonder what your pet’s up to. Around here, your dog’s not just watched—they’re part of the crew. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. With dogs of my own, I’m outside and active multiple times a day, so adding your pup into the mix is natural. I work flexible hours and spend most of my time at home, which means I can give plenty of attention, exercise, and check-ins without rushing Caring for pets in my home is simple. If i go outside , we all go outside. If I come inside we all come inside. We all eat breakfast snacks and dinner at the same time. This isn’t something that’s inconvenient or difficult to us. This is our life on the farm.

About: I love all dogs, every shape size and personality. I have over 20 years experience taking care dogs cats and even farm animals. I would be very happy to help walk, feed and play with your animal. I specialize in caring for dogs with special needs such as epilepsy. I do work from home so my schedule is very open for feedings, walks, and play time. I am the proud "parent" of an 18 year old Long Haired dachshund mix who suffers from epilepsy so I know all the ins and outs of caring for a sick pup. I am also the mother two tow very energetic Aussie doodles. If your dog needs a little extra TLC I might be the girl to help. Please feel free to contact me for more information. I work from home and my schedule is flexible! I am an early riser and love walking. Taking care of dogs would only bring more joy to my day. I understand how stressful it can be for our animals when their owners are away. I am very patient with animals during this time as I know it can be overwhelming to have someone new taking care of them. I love to tailor the animals care to each specific animal based on their needs, emotional and physical.

About: I went to college to be a Vet and although I ended up in sales I definitely learned the basics on how to take care of your pet. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from energetic puppies who need structure and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. My background as a vet student also means you can trust me to be consistent, communicative, and professional. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! 🐾 I’m pivoting from sales into marketing and, while job-hunting, I love spending my time caring for dogs. With a flexible schedule, I can give your pup all the walks, playtime, and snuggles they need. 💕 follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free—feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles included. 🐾 I’ll also keep things tidy and send photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. 💕

About: Our fur babies and fur children are more than mere pets, they're valued members of the family and deserve the dedicated love, honor and respect which they bestow upon us. These traits I've learned from the beloved dogs I've had the pleasure to interact with from youth to now with my Siberian Husky, King Shepherd, and Labrador-Collie puppy. Overnight sitting is best for our pets in their known environment to ease the development of separation anxiety and to provide the appropriate level of comfort with affectionate support and encouraging companionship. By learning the necessary fitness & nutritional values from my mom to engage in a healthy lifestyle for ourselves, our furry family members require the same for their health and stamina to be maintained. I ensure properly safe walks full of scenic beauty filled with pleasant scents to peak curiosity along with free play at the dog park if requested. For daily check-in, to determine the welfare of the pets, I throughly provide clean, fresh water, food, affection, ensure clean bedding, (extra fee for washing if required) short walks and minor play, check everything is in order and health status and mood is excellent. My priority is the fur puppies, fur children, fur adults and fur elders are happy, content, safe, healthy physically, mentally and emotionally prior to departure until I return to them as often as requested and required. It would be my pleasure to assist in the your pets welfare so you can rest at ease until you've returned home to their loving licks. Available Mon-Sun, (Varies upon booking) Holidays: Please book two weeks in advance Last minute sittings, walks, check-in available based on booking schedule. Additional small charge may apply due upon request. My schedule is flexible since I drive for Doordash and Grubhub on my free time. I am available for all days for your booking needs. Pets welfare is essential in their known environment and adherence to the normal life structure set by the owner. I currently do not offer any boarding services.

I’m also training under a professional dog behaviorist, giving me valuable skills in understanding body language and providing positive, stress-free care. I currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pets. While my schedule varies, I’m available 3–4 days a week and would love to spend that time with your fur babies! I provide reliable, compassionate care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I maintain your pet’s routine, keep your home clean and secure, and always respect your privacy—creating a calm, familiar environment for your pets.
