About: The obvious reason, I LOVE DOGS and being around ALL animals . every dog has a unique personality which makes all of them special and all dogs have something different to offer pet lovers. I also love to be outdoors playing and walking them. I walk a lot any way, might as well have a furry companion. I can pretty much set my own schedule (within reason). I also don't have any obligations, other than my husband. I feel like this would feel a void in my life and help give to purpose. I like to use hand commands but verbal is fine also I have been a pet owner for quite sometimes, no current pets, some very high energy, some old and arthritic and on medication I perfer smaller dogs if they come to my house. The house is mostly empty, it’s just me and my husband. I have also sat for cats, turtles, lizards, goats horses and all types of pasture animals. Big or small, I do it all. I’m retired airline employee, so, I’m pretty flexible with my time and schedule. We currently don’t have any pets because we enjoy our travel time. If we’re not traveling you can always catch me on someone’s ranch helping out with their critters. I really prefer watching the animals at the clients home because that’s where they feel most comfortable. I don’t mind bringing the pets to my home, if they are on the smaller side. Of course, if it’s something on the bigger side, ie, like livestock, I would be at the client’s home.

“This is the second time I have used Brittany. The first meeting we had to see if she was a fit, she brought a checklist and asked great questions. I appreciated the attention to detail. This was the first time my nearly 13 year old Labrador had been apart from me for a full week. He did great, but it was only because of her commitment to take care of him.”


About: Ive lived around dogs and farm animals my entire life, friends of family will often adk me to dog sit & or check up on their dogs when they are out late etc. Love to help! I am currently working part time, so i have all the time to help out your furry friends while you’re busy! My schedule is pretty flexible so just reach out. :) I currently take care of 2 dogs, both of them majoritively residing inside. I live on a cattle farm where we have a lot of land for them to run around.

About: My name is Lindsey and I am 22 yrs old. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past eight years, I’ve started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I also offer a house cleaning service on the side :) If interested, please get in touch. Usually use Venmo as payment, if that is something you’re comfortable with My schedule currently is very open. I am only cleaning a couple houses a week and enrolled in as a part-time student. I am accepting day-of requests, however, it’s in my better favor if notified about a 3 days-a week in advance. I have a cat of my own who stays inside. As I would love to offer your pet to stay at my home, I unfortunately live in a lease that doesn’t allow dogs. I am only able to offer drop-in visits, and willing to stay with the pet if needed.

“Once again Megan T. delivered excellent service. She was punctual, and the dogs adore her. She is a young teacher earning extra dollars on breaks and weekends. So whenever your regular walker isn't available on a weekend, please give this lady a try!”


“Barbara has been on time every day and so prompt with her responses! My goldendoodle loves her already. She really takes the time to make sure that my dog gets the most out of her walks plus some playtime with her toys. I didn’t want to bother Barbara with sending pictures every day but she does it anyway and it’s so lovely! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, fun, and trustworthy sitter :)”


About: I have one year experience working at a boarding and daycare facility! I also have past volunteer experience at my local Humane Society where I provided treats and blankets for the dogs. I grew up with my 12 and 7 year old labs and they are my best friends. I love getting to know new animals and making them feel comfortable with someone other than their owner! I would love to spend my free time caring for animals and making families feel more secure with who is treating their pets! I’m fairly flexible with scheduling. I am very easy going but can also be stern when needed. I would be very excited to let animals be themselves in their home and ensure that they are safe but also still enjoying their time with me!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life . I love taking them for walks , or just cuddling on the couch . I’ve been around all ages puppies as well as the elderly ones. I do work a full time job , but have the flexibility to spend lunch breaks with the pets and my mornings and evenings are open . I have a fenced yard and two small dogs of my own . Can crate if necessary. Safety is always the goal no matter what.

About: I have never cat sat before but I am willing to take the learning curve and expand my work experience. I do take pride in going out of my way for past clients to make the service given pleasant and smooth. Many if not all visits will be before the very start of my day and towards the end as well. I can do two visits a day no problem and if close enough I could sign out during lunch to do a day visit if location is close enough. In my home our pets roam freely around the 40 acres that we live on. We do have a small fenced in area that could be used. But willing to take pets on walks across the property.

About: I have cared for animals of all sizes and kinds my whole life. I have been dog/cat/horse sitting for many years and am comfortable taking care of all animals. I grew up on a farm taking care of rescue horses, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. I currently have two percious dogs, Shelley and Watson. Both are rescues and my best friends. My favorite activity is playing with them in our yard and going on road trips together. I am available to walk and play with your pets as well as house sit if needed. I will check on your pet regularly and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I am a school teacher so my summer schedule is very flexible. Please consider me for all your pet needs!

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds growing up including dogs, livestock and small exotics. Since high school I have worked on and off as a veterinary assistant/technician until the last year when I made it my full time career. Now, I enjoy my work as a small animal ER technician where I am trained to identify and respond to pet emergencies. In college, I trained service dogs and really enjoyed learning more in-depth training. I’ve also worked as an animal caretaker throughout school, taking care of many different exotic bird species. I currently work Friday thru Sunday with variable availability during those times. I am completely free Monday thru Thursday which allows me to spend a lot of time with pets! I have a large fenced in yard and offer a very open pet-friendly home. I have two dogs to also provide an enriching play time and keep company! I am trained to identify and respond to emergencies quickly and efficiently including training in pet CPR.

About: I have worked at a vet as a kennel assistant, I fed and watered the animals and even know how to give them oral medications and have experience bathing and brushing them and cleaning and disinfecting kennels, as well as working with aggressive dogs. I grew up on a farm and have always taken care of animals. I also love to exercise so going for a walk with dogs would be a blast. I personally have 3 dogs and 2 cats, I rescued one of my dogs from an abusive home and she now has a better life. I've always been interested in helping animals and hope you will qualify me to take care of your pets, if you allow me a chance I won't let you or your pets down.

About: As a kid, I’d do research for my dogs to train them on my own. I’m now in a training dogs for the blind organization at A&M. I’m currently enrolled at Texas A&M majoring in animal science. I’m in a training group for dogs for the blind that meets every week and I get the opportunity to sit dogs and eventually will train one on my own. I also volunteer each week with Courtney Cares at A&M which is working around horses. I do as much volunteer opportunities for exotic animals aswell. My dogs are all crate trained and have a safe environment. If left out of the crate, I make sure anything that can harm them is put away. If the dog is kinda crazy then I make sure to not let them out of sight especially around other dogs. My dogs get fed twice a day with many treats for skills in the middle.

About: As someone deeply passionate about mental wellness and intentional living, I bring a calming, grounded energy to every pet I care for. Animals are incredibly intuitive, and I always meet them with patience, love, and respect for their unique personalities and needs. Whether it's peaceful walks, cozy companionship, or extra attention for anxious pets, I create a soothing environment that helps them feel safe and cared for while you're away. Your pets are family—and I treat them with the same heart-centered care I give in every part of my life. Pet care naturally fits into my daily life because it aligns with how I already move through the world—with intention, compassion, and calm. I prioritize routines that support emotional well-being, and spending time with animals brings a grounding, joyful rhythm to my day. Whether I’m working on my candle and apothecary projects or out for a walk, I find caring for pets adds purpose and peace to my routine. It’s not just a side job—it’s something I truly value and make space for with presence and heart. When caring for pets in a client’s home, safety and respect are always my top priorities. I follow any routines or instructions closely, making sure pets feel secure and supported in their familiar space. I take time to get to know each animal’s personality and boundaries, and I always double-check doors, gates, and food instructions to prevent accidents. I treat every home with care—tidying up after myself, respecting privacy, and creating a calm, consistent environment that helps pets feel at ease while their humans are away.

About: I’ve worked previously in the animal rescue field. I have experience with medication schedules, administration, grooming, nail trimming, and specialized diet/food schedules. I’ve also cared for many dogs after major surgeries. I’ve also been pet sitting since my early teens and would love to meet your pets! I work 100% remotely with a fully flexible schedule and boss! As long as my laptop connects to the internet, I can be wherever I want. I live on a 1.5 acre farm, which is currently unfenced. My dogs are off leash trained, fully vetted, and on all preventative medications they require. If you are uncomfortable with allowing your dog off leash on my property, I have leashes, moveable stake leashes, and access to plenty of water sources outside.


About: What to say... I LOVE dogs/animals. I can't remember not having a dog as a pet and as an adult have always had at least one Scottie (Briar was my third Scottie). I have had the opportunity to have multiple animals as "family members" in my household for years. Now retired, I find myself with more time on my hands. In addition, a few years back my Cairn Terrier (Ferris) passed away - Briar became lonely, so we used Rover to find a few new playmates on occasion; he loved to play. The yard is a park like setting completely fenced in an awesome neighborhood with Landstrom Park just up the road which is a great place to walk your pets. I have the time, experience, passion and patience to care, putting an owner's mind at ease that "All is Well" with their furry family members. Since this description about me, Briar passed away; he was 14. March 16, 2005 - March 26, 2019. The place is now called Camp Briar in his honor. I work from home. So I am able to provide care for your fur babies in a fairly constant manner. Pets are never left unattended. Care is constant and consistent. I have a fenced-in yard that they have constant access to. They get lots of playtime and downtime when needed.

“We have trusted Heidi with our dog and chickens for over ten years. She goes above and beyond when it comes to our pets care. She is good about giving our dog his medications and always ensures our chickens are fed and cared for, even going so far as cleaning their coop without us even asking.

It is hard leaving our pets, but it is so comforting knowing we have Heidi looking after them.”

“Mr. Coulter is an animal lover so my mind was immediately put at ease leaving my fur babies in his care.
