About: I have been pet sitting - house sitting for over 27 years and have had a client for 11 years. I love all dogs and also provide other services while pet-housesitting, such as mail sorting, package signing / receiving (picking up), watering plants, providing rides to and from airport and more. I have experience with puppies and aging dogs, including one blind dog. I was the owner of a male black lab age 12, Bear RIP 5/10/18. I tell the dogs I am their Auntie! I respect your home, vehicles, yard, belongings, neighborhoods and of course your animals. I have lost a few dogs due to cancer, so please select food and treats carefully. I am your best choice. I don't work outside the home so your pets will have my undivided attention. I am available 24 hours. I adjust to the pets routinesand follow your requests. I care for your pets in the same manner you request. I believe that keeping them on the same routine is important. I offer them love and acceptance.

About: Throughout my life, I have gained extensive experience in animal care, having owned and cared for a diverse range of animals, including newborn puppies and kittens, elderly and sick pets, as well as various breeds of dogs and cats. I have flexible availability to provide top-notch care for your pets, ensuring their needs and schedules are met with professionalism and compassion. No pet to big no pet to small As a responsible and compassionate pet sitter, I offer a secure metal fenced-in backyard where your fur babies can play safely. My affectionate dog and cat will keep your pets company. I am also happy to accommodate any special needs or requirements your pets may have.

About: I’ve been caring for pets ever since I was 12, started actually pet sitting at 15. Whether it’s energetic babies who need training & playtime or older pets who need a slower pace and a little extra care, I’m comfortable with it all. I always treat every pet like they’re my own! Im working part-time over the summer as a bartender so I will have lots of time & availability to take care of your pets! I’ll be in town majority of the time & will update my profile when I am away I have an unfenced yard but I am very active & will take your pets out for walks & potty religiously! There is one cat in my townhouse but he is very sweet and has gotten along with everyone he’s met :)

About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I started walking my neighbors dogs when I was 8 in exchange for a cookie! My experience grew when I got into high school. I began watching over my family's bulldog, chihuahua puppy, my younger siblings and the house when my parents would leave. They started recommending me their friends, and I would house sit with their furry friends as well!! As a college student, I have a lot of free time with my class schedule. Each class day is different, but I always have 3 hours before my next class. More specifically my classes are Monday and Wednesday:10-11:20 Tuesday and Thursday: 9:30-10:50 and 2:00-3:20 Friday, Saturday and Sunday: Completely free!!! I am passionate about nurturing furry friends and for maintaining cozy spaces! Through daily walks, belly rubs, occasional treats, and lots of snuggles, I ensure that you pet feels like their favorite humans never left them! I also will be sure to keep all corners of the house clean, attend to the garden, and of course clean up after myself.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, a wide variety of animals, I have owned all of these animals and they have all thrived under my care. I currently have no other commitments, I can fit pet care very easily into my day to day, because I am a student it means that I have summer off and therefore can easily fit pet care into my routines. I have a fenced yard, but no pets anymore, I do watch a lot of my friends animals as well in my house, but I have had pets my whole life up until about 4 months ago.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Have cared for injured and premature animals in the past. From dogs with broken legs, just born kittens and hurt fletchlings. I have an interesting, ever changing work schedule I have to work around, but I am extremely flexible and committed around it, even for hours late at night. I care for all animals with kindness and patience. Will clean up after animals and make sure any changes in schedule/events are reported as soon possible.

“Chloe was awesome. Great help for our pups while we were out for the night. Thank you Chloe for looking after our boys!🐺❤️🐺❤️🐶”


About: I have personally owned dogs as well as an abundance of various animals my whole life. I grew up on a ranch where we owned 5 dogs on average at a time plus 50 other animals to care for. I currently own an Australian Shepard who is almost 3 years old as well as a 7mo old mut who was a stray I picked up. I am an equine chiropractor who travels around West Texas and surrounding areas. I will always make sure your dog is cared for, loved on, well exercised, and well fed. I am currently self employed so I create my own schedule. I am very flexible for weekdays or weekends. Adding more animals to my daily routine would make me very happy! I will always walk a clients backyard to make sure there are no gaps for their dog to escape out of and if there is I will fix it. I want to keep the dogs same routine while adding a little extra fun and exercise into the mix.

About: I've owned many different pets including dogs, cats, rodents, rabbits, and ferrets over the past 14 years - young and older pets alike! I am a licensed veterinary technician here in Texas (I was previously licensed in Nevada before moving to the Lubbock area) and as such, I am able to provide services such as medicating furbabies that need medications and providing transport to the veterinarian if necessary (either my place of employment or your own preferred clinic). Some of my own pets are on medication, so making sure your furbaby gets any medication they need will be no problem at all! Some of my pets also have special dietary needs, so you can have complete confidence that if your pet needs the same, all needs will be met. I work full-time during the week at a fairly busy veterinary hospital. As far as drop-in visits go, I am able to make morning and evening visits any day, and midday visits on a case-by-case basis. Drop-ins will be performed at the time requested UNLESS they fall in a time range where I will be working. In those cases, visits will be either early in the morning and/or in the evening after work. Daily pet care is a staple in my household since I have my own pets, many of which require medical care including special diets and medications. Any care requested by clients will be performed to the best of my ability. Whether it be simple feeding instructions or something more in-depth, rest assured that your pet's care is in very capable hands.

About: I have had all different types of animals growing up! From fish to pot belly pigs. Family, friends, and even neighbors allow me to take care of their babies when they need to get away!

I’ll be able to accommodate any needs that need to be met and schedules! I have 4 dogs of my own that are very friendly with others! They are crate and house trained, so if your fur baby needs to be kenneled I will be able to do that. I have a fence, and lots of room for the animals to play!

About: I have dog sat for 3 years previously, and worked as lead kennel technician for one year at a veterinary hospital. I love working and playing with all kinds of animals.
