About: I adore taking care of pets! I’ve owned just about every animals myself including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets, a hedgehog, and have taken care of farm animals my entire life. I have deep love for animals and would love to have another dog of my own some day soon. For now I enjoy regularly pet-sitting for friends. In the past I have previously run a pet feeding business over the summers. I’m experienced in feeding, walking, and caring for all types of pets and would love to take care of yours! I am currently working partime with weekends off. I am home until 3pm every day and back by 6pm with nothing but time on my hands. I have a great neighborhood for walking and a nice yard to play in. I am a very hands on caretaker. I usually go on morning and evening walks with my friends and play lots of fetch and tug of war. I don’t mind the little one playing inside with me at all. I have other roommates that love pets just as much as me, however I do like to crate the dogs while I am gone to prevent accidents. I have a great environment for your loved ones!

About: I’ve pay attention to dogs personalities and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Nothing more brings me joy than a happy pet! I can teach dogs tricks especially if they’re food motivated it’s fun to see how clever they are. I’m working part-time unfortunately right now I can’t house any dogs unless they are smaller/lapdogs. I am willing to housesit and have a vehicle to provide guaranteed transport. I live next to a park that’s friendly for dogs and I’m available to walk them just about anytime. To care in your home I’m willing to go to dog parks or long walks in the neighbor to reach their needs.

Everything went great while we were away, and happy and healthy when we returned! Krista came over in advance to meet the pets and learn the routines - we left detailed notes but it helps to be able to talk and answer questions in person. She sent daily pics and came to do extra checks a couple of times. Our trip plans came together quickly and depended on finding a reliable sitter during spring break week, so also really appreciated that she stepped in to help us out. Would love to book her again.

Savannah was great with our girls while we are out of town! They were a little disappointed for us to come home I think ? Definitely recommended! She kept in touch with us through our trip and I was at ease knowing she was with them!

About: Hi, I grew up on a 10 acre farmer taking care of everything from chickens to horses. I also worked full time in a mixed animal vet clinic for 8 months before becoming a Texas Tech student. I am studying animal sciences to continue my passion for taking care of animals. While being a student here I have been managing and taking care of a property containing horses, dogs, cattle, and goats. I also have a spunky corgi-wiener dog mix as well as a horse here at Tech. I am very familiar with animal care and will work to provide the best care for your pets! I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work around your schedule. I do have animals of my own and a job feeding horses so taking care of animals is apart of my daily routine. I live in a 4 bedroom apartment with plenty of space! Both my roommates are dog lovers and don't mind having a dog around and my complex is dog friendly with a dog park attached to it. My dog does not live with me full time so if your dog is not friendly with other dogs he has another space he can be. But if your dog likes to have another dog around "Coyote" love a good playmate. Regarding staying at clients houses I will be very respectful of your space and cleanup after myself.

This was our first time with a pet sitter and chloe was fabulous with our dog- she sent updates throughout, left our home cleaner than she found it, and was so flexible when our plans changed last minute. We would have no hesitations to book with her again.

About: I provide attentive, compassionate care for pets of all kinds, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, and maintaining a clean environment. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to adjust my approach to meet their individual needs—whether that means high-energy exercise, gentle care for older pets, or extra patience with shy animals. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and occasional weekend visits as needed. I’m organized and good at planning ahead, which allows me to reliably fit pet care into my day while still giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. I provide attentive and respectful care in both my home and my clients’ homes, always prioritizing the pet’s comfort, routine, and safety. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain consistency with feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special needs.
