About: I have lots of experience with different types of animals. We have three inside kitties that were rescued when they were still bottle feeding. Two years ago we lost our 19 year old Labrador to old age. And the year before that we lost our 16 year old chow chow to old age. I will feed, water, walk and clean up after the babies. I am a full time convenience store manager for TXB. I Rover on the side to help my youngest daughter pay for college. She is currently earning her masters degree and I want to be able to help as much as possible. I am available most evenings after 6p. During the summer I am available all day Friday and Saturday. During the winter I am available all day Saturday and Sunday. I do not wish to care for anyone’s fur babies in my home. It would stress my kitties and I will not put them through any stress. I will take very good care of your fur babies in your home. I will follow all instructions given for their care and do my best to make the visit as comfortable as possible for the babies.


About: Currently a licensed veterinary technician. Can administer meds, which will help owners of older dogs feel more at ease, and notice signs of illness/distress easily. I own three friendly corgis. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with them out in the yard. Always available to house sit and keep pets at my house, It is very rare for me to say no. We have our lower yard fenced for dogs to run and play. I'm into cuddling with dogs on my couch, but if you don't allow your dogs on your furniture, I won't allow them on mine either. I am also comfortable and experienced in watching a variety of animals. I have watched horses, cows, sheep, goats, bunnies, reptiles, chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, hamsters, and hedgehogs. I can host most caged exotics in my home and a different rate that can be discussed at booking. I do prefer payment via cash, check, or venmo. Have a great day! I work full time at a veterinary clinic but my home is very close to it. I come home on lunch everyday to let out my animals. I’m usually up quite early on days off so they’ll have maximum snuggle time I do my best to care for pets in their homes just like their people would, so they will be less stressed with their people gone

“Amy spent extra time getting to know Auggie (rambunctious mini schnauzer) so that he would be comfortable during her visits. They got on after some introduction and Amy quickly engaged with and showed love for our fur baby in the way we were hoping. She was very responsible and communicative while we were away for the day. Amy sent messages and pictures after each visit and Auggie was clearly very happy and well taken care of. We will absolutely be booking her services again.”

Carla G.
“Your pets would be missing out if you don’t choose Carla to care for them. Carla cared for my dogs and cats for over 10 years. Carla is the most competent person I know and trust with my animals. Carla walked and cared for my scared abused rescue who was too fearful to walk on the street and be around any noise. It’s as if Carla loved her back to life helping her break free of her fears. My baby’s inner energetic self was eventually released thanks to Cara! Besides showering my animals with love, Carla taught me so many training and feeding tips.”

“Valerie has been an animal lover since she was little. She started riding horses when she was in elementary school. Her love for horses took her to the rodeo scene where she was a champion barrel racer. She was also involved in her high school FFA program. She has always had dogs and loves them like they are her actual children. Just recently, she and her family have recently acquired chickens and goats to raise. Any family would be lucky to have Valerie look after their pets; she will definitely be attentive and make sure nothing happens!”
