“Travis is awesome. Anybody would be lucky to have him taking care of their pets. He was so friendly and sent lots of pictures and updates and I could tell my boys really liked him”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs received while we were away. Abraham was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. They sent regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our dogs were home happy, healthy, and well-exercised. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust to take care of our furry family member. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve boarded and taken care of dogs and cats for over 5 years. I love animals and have a Frenchie that is my full time family . I will treat your pet like family and how I would want mine to be treated . They will get daily play time to roam and will be fed according to a schedule or schedule provided by owner. They will be in for a treat with plenty of loves and hugs. I have worked for a vet clinic for 5 years treating animals as well as providing grooming and other health care needs I am available to be with your pet at all hours . I take time out to take the pets to dog parks or out for a daily walk in the neighborhood. I have a fenced large yard for your fur baby to roam.I can crate your dog if needed. I can provide dog food for a few or you can bring your own if they have a certain brand they eat. Pets will get fed morning , noon and evening and take at least 3 to 6 potty breaks or more as needed. Please bring a leash and bed/kennel for your pet.

About: Hi there! I’ve been a devoted dog mom for 19 years, including caring for a large breed pup for over a decade. I’m deeply attuned to the emotional and physical needs of animals — from energetic young dogs to gentle geriatric pets who need a slower pace and extra love. I’m skilled at reading body language and anticipating what your pet might need before they even ask for it. I believe that every dog and cat deserves care that is calm, responsive, and full of affection. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own — I’m neat, thoughtful, and follow all care instructions closely. I’m also quick to communicate and always happy to send updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Whether we’re snuggling on the couch, going for a walk, or sharing quiet company, your pet’s well-being and emotional comfort are my top priorities. I'm available every day from 7 am to 10 pm with some exceptions based on client needs. Please feel free to ask for any needs outside of these hours. As a lifelong dog lover, my first priority is always your pup’s safety and well-being. I keep dogs leashed at all times when outdoors and closely follow regular feeding schedules while monitoring for healthy water intake. I believe every dog deserves exercise and stimulation that fits their body, energy level, and comfort. Whether it’s a short walk, backyard play, or quiet companionship, I tailor the experience to meet their individual needs. I always ask about medications, allergies, and health routines up front. I'm also well-versed in foods that are harmful to dogs and never offer people food — only what you've approved. You can trust that your dog will be cared for with attentiveness, consistency, and deep respect for your preferences. Their safety and comfort come first.

“Such a pleasant experience. Atticus gets such bad separation anxiety and she took him on walks and helped keep him happy. He didn’t turn his back to me and pout like he normally does after trips, lol. The house was in great condition after, as well.”


“We were away from home for three weeks and Jasmine took good care of Sylvester our pet cat during our absence.She was very considerate and flexible with her times. Very grateful that she took good care of Sylvester and kept him healthy. Sylvester also bonded with her very quickly which is rare as he takes time to trust people. Thanks a lot Jasmine for making our long trip possible without any worries. We would highly recommend Jasmine to anyone, she is very reliable, trustworthy and considerate person.”

About: Yo hablo español! 🐶When it comes to pet sitting, I believe it’s all about making pets feel like they’re at home, even when their owners are away. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and over the years, I’ve learned how to understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s an elderly dog who needs some quiet time or an energetic dog that loves long walks, I make sure they get the attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. What truly sets me apart is the genuine bond I build with each pet—I treat them like they’re part of my family. I’m also really mindful of routines, whether it’s feeding, or just the little things that make a pet’s day feel normal. For me, it’s not just about watching over them; it’s about ensuring they’re safe, loved, and at ease until their owners return. 👫🏻I live with my reptile loving husband, I would gladly take care of your furry friend, especially on the weekends. We have a rescue mixed chocolate lab and corgi. They are small but have a lot of energy and enjoy playing with other friends. We also have a princess Guinea pig, Pebbles, who enjoys her personal space and daily fresh snacks. As a full-time special education teacher, routines are a big part of my life, and that structure naturally extends to how I care for pets. In the evenings and on weekends, when I'm not in the classroom, I'm spending time with my own fur babies—taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure each one gets the love and attention they need. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. It helps me slow down after a busy day and brings me so much joy. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I stick to set routines and always make time to connect with each pet on a personal level. Whether I’m caring for my own pets or someone else’s, I treat them all like family. 🏠 I do offer house sitting services, however I have a family as well that also need my attention and care that I can only do 12 hour schedule (e.g. 7am -7pm). At this time, I will not be able to do overnight stays. I’ve been taking care of dogs for my family ever since I was in college, so looking after pets feels completely natural to me. I take a lot of pride in keeping a clean, safe, and cozy home for our animal babies, and I bring that same care into any client’s home too. I treat every pet like they’re my own — making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, keeping their space clean, or just giving them lots of attention and playtime, I’m all about making sure they’re happy and safe.

About: I have loved animals all of my life! In a perfect world, I would have been a vet, but that wasn't in the cards so I have made it my mission to just love on as many animals as I can. I have been a dog dad for five years to a Corgi and a mini Pinscher. Also, one of the most famous dogs in the country, Reveille from Texas A&M was in my room for a semester in college. I get off work at 3 M-F and anytime after 5 can be pet time. Conversely, on the weekends it can be ALL PETS, ALL THE TIME! I am wide open. The "pets" in my home are given free range but they usually nestle wherever I happen to be. He eats before I do and outside time at least three times a day is a MUST! As far as dealing with other people's animals I will treat the animal as the parent specifies but to make sure to infuse as much love and attention that I can. I believe that we truly don't deserve them, and so for the short time that we are allotted with them they should be cherished.
