About: Feeding, entertaining, and walking pets. Friends and family have trusted me in caring for their pets like my own when needed. I have had pets of all kinds growing up and have a passion for caring for dogs, cats and small animals such as guinea pigs. I currently work full time Monday through Thursday in the human services field as a case manager. My schedule is flexible and I am available every weekend. I currently have two cats who are my best friends. I have grown up around dogs and have dog sat for many years for friends and family. Walking and pop ins are the best part of my day.
“Caroline was great. Let me know when she got there and what she did. Sent me plenty of photos and let me know when she left. Mercury is very happy I will definitely use her agoin.”

“Thanks so much to Charisma for stopping by to let Indigo out & feed him! My first time using the drop-in option on Rover. Great communication, quick replies, & she kept me updated on Indigo with pictures & followed up with me when she left! I will definitely be using her again in the future! 😊”

“Deborah provided excellent consistent service to check in on my 2 cats while I was on vacation for a weeks. Deborah provided great communication and detail about each visit. I will look forward to booking her in the future. Thanks”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life and over that span of time have been held responsible for over 25 dogs and cats with neighbors coming back for care. I’m currently working part-time hours since I’m a full-time college student but in my spare time I would love to take care of your pets. I can maintain a safe environment , removing any hazards and ensuring door and gates are closed. As well as keeping you updated on your pets well-being and giving your pet lots of love:)

About: With over 30 years of trusted pet sitting experience, I provide loving, reliable care rooted in a deep belief that animals are a true gift—offering unconditional love, loyalty, and joy just by being themselves. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for a 4-year-old Ragdoll cat who is truly part of the family, and her needs are woven into each day—feeding, playtime, grooming, and quiet companionship. Weekly routines include maintaining a clean, comfortable environment and ensuring she feels safe, loved, and engaged. This consistent, attentive care reflects how I treat every pet: like a cherished family member who deserves patience, affection, and genuine connection. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, whether in my home or a client’s home. In my home, pets are treated like family—given a calm, safe environment with structured feeding times, play, enrichment, and plenty of affection and supervision. I maintain a clean space and keep their routine as close to home as possible to reduce stress. In a client’s home, I focus on consistency and respect for the pet’s familiar environment. I follow detailed care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, litter or yard maintenance, exercise, and companionship. I also provide regular updates for peace of mind. With over 30 years of experience, my approach is always patient, attentive, and rooted in genuine love for animals, ensuring they feel secure and cared for at all times.
“I cannot recommend Wen enough. My husband and I were gone for a few days, and Wen came in twice a day to feed our 2 cats. He fed them and played with them and sent photos of them looking very content. He cleaned the litter box and he did some additional chores around the house. He even encountered an unexpected crisis and he was able to avert that without a problem. We missed them terribly, but we were comforted by the fact that Wen was taking such good care of them.”

About: My very first job was working with dogs. I’ve always had a passion for the fur babies! I have a 5 year old pit bull who absolutely loves making new pup friends and a 12 year old daughter who adores all animals! I work Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm but make sure your fur baby is tended to before and after work just as I do my own :) I have a fenced in yard which helps make sure they have lots of space for running around. During the daytime hours while I’m away, the dogs are kept safe in separated areas of the house but are always left with a comfy bed, food and toys. The dogs have free roam of the house during the day and are either kenneled (if crate trained) or separated when not being watched directly. Dogs are let out in the fenced in yard multiple times a day and are given tons of attention :)
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I am loving and have compassion. Every time I meet a new dog they can sense the good energy from me. ( I can’t update my schedule timing but it’s Monday- Friday 5-10pm) and Saturday-Sunday ( 9am-10pm) I am currently working full-time. I can come by and take care of the dogs or cats for however long after 11am as well as do drops in. I can care for pets at my clients house by maintaining a boundary in where the dogs or cats are supposed to be. As well as set up a little place where they can be at so I can watch them and play.
About: Hello, I've trained several dogs from puppies in basic skills and know the best way to connect with most dogs is through play. I have experience with some medical care for temporary conditions and dogs with anxious dispositions. I'm a big guy so I'm not intimidated by larger dogs and will get down on the floor so smaller dogs aren't nervous. I currently work fully remote from home and have a generally flexible schedule to allow breaks for walks or visits. I'm generally up by 6:30 am each day, but have no issues getting up earlier depending on your pet's schedule. From my house I typically walk the neighborhoods near Greenacre or head over to Bliss park. I can also make late stops up to ~ 11 pm as I know sometimes that overnight without a break can be too much for your pet. I have a large double yard with the majority being fenced/blocked but there are several open areas near the driveway and side of the house. There is a two-story house with wood floors. Depending on your pet's preferences and schedule I would keep them with me in my room. I have a 40 lb mixed rescue dog who is very sweet and timid. Depending on preference we would keep them completely separate but she will likely check them out and then hide under a bed most of the time anyway ;) She has never shown any aggression or had any issues with other dogs.
About: I have been walking and caring for my own personal animals - 2 dogs, cat, bird, hamsters since I was 5 years old. I also have been dog sitting and walking for numerous neighbors and friends in the area. I work during the day a full-time job. I am available early in the morning and after 4:00pm during the week. I am available on the weekends anytime of the day. I have a fenced in backyard that my 4 year old Brittany Spaniel, Maggie loves to run around and play ball. It is completely fenced in so she can't get out. I love to be outside playing with my dog and bring her on 3+ walks a day around town and at the local park.
About: I’ve been in love with cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! Five years ago, we adopted the sweetest perpetually tiny black Kitty named “Kitty”. I grew up with 3 dogs and 6 cats throughout my childhood. Friends and family know they can trust me to walk, feed and love up on their kitties and puppers. I live in an apartment with my 13-year-old child who is an animal lover that quite literally won’t hurt an ant--we save worms and swoon over dogs on our daily walks. We also live with our beloved 5-year-old cat, Kitty. She can take some time to get used to other animals, but is not aggressive. Kitty will happily retreat to her snuggle spot under a bed or inside the linen closet (I swear, she loves it 😹). I will gladly pop in on your fur baby while you’re away for cuddles, play, walks or feeding. If you’d like pic or video updates, I can make that happen! I'm also available for daily care in my apartment, though it is small so I can only accommodate one pup at a time. I'm happy to offer extended housesitting at your home, and can also care for plants, and additional pets. I’m currently on summer break from work, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I’m available during typical working hours and beyond. I live in a beautiful large complex with a dog park. I go for a daily early morning walk around Lady Bird Lake, and would love for your pup to join!
“Saktah is an amazing choice for anyone looking for pet care. She's incredibly timely with updates and great pictures to let you know your pets are safe and secure when you are away. We have one older cat with medication requirements and another with a special diet. Saktah took care of everything and then some! Her photos, videos and messages about your pets are second to none. Would use her again and recommend to anyone wanting the best for their pets. A++”
