“Marinna was an amazing sitter! She was attentive towards the cats and spent lots of time with them. She made sure all their special needs were addressed like meds and special diets and was available to answer my questions while I was away from home. I would definitely rebook with her. Thanks, Marinna!”
“Brigitte peeped in on my babies while I was traveling. I was happy to know they were looked after by a cat lover, she said all my boyz even the skittish one came to visit. So happy to have Brigitte checking in on them.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had many dogs and some cats as well. I can train puppies, have lots of patience with them, and can love on them all day long. I have 2 dogs. Someone is always home, so pups are never unattended. We have a 11 year old daughter as well who loves animals and loves to help care for them. We have 3 acres of land, and a log home. We have a cable to hook up dogs who like to wander, but can allow dogs to run loose if they are well trained.
“I had an issue with another pet sitter and Jess stepped in last minute and took over. She really went above and beyond. She cared for my cat and her communication was outstanding. She really helped me feel better after losing trust in another sitter and even went so far as to do some light cleaning in my house that she had not been asked to do. Jess is an outstanding pet sitter. I will use her again, and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pets. Thank you Jess! You saved the day!”
“Lillian recently did drop in visits over the weekend to care for our cats; She was incredibly attentive, ensuring that our one cat felt comfortable even during nervous moments. She kept the litter and food spaces clean and tidy, she provided regular updates and followed through on all our agreed-upon plans. It’s clear that she cares about pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for drop in pet care.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of all different breeds and sizes since I was young. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to let their furry friends out for potty breaks, walk them, feed them, and even stay with them in their homes while they are away. I am currently working full time at a dairy farm/farm store until I head back to college this fall. I can be with them before and after work. My hours differ day to day but we can make it work! I can care for your animals in whatever way you need. If they are not able to free roam in your yard, I am willing to leash walk them. I will play with them for as long as they want and I will make sure they are fed on whatever schedule you currently have set for them.

“Angi and Dave were wonderful! They watched our dog, Mya, for 4 nights while we were away. As soon as we dropped her off, we knew she was in great hands. They took great care of her and provided us with updates. We will definitely request them again in the future :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and sizes since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to do anything their pet needs while they’re away. In the future I’m looking to take a dog training course and slow transition into that as a full time job. Every morning I wake up and immediately tend to the dogs and let them outside to use the bathroom and play around, then we come Inside to eat breakfast to start the day. We go outside about 3x daily to potty and play. I have a big privacy fenced in yard for play time. I have 4 dogs of my own. However I typically do not let them converse with my boarding dogs unless known that they are friendly.
About: I have had dog(s) since I was 9 years old, so I am extremely familiar with the amount of care and commitment it takes to look after them. I have a very flexible schedule, so I will have plenty of time to play with and walk your pups or care for your cats! I provide drop-in services and pet sitting in your home. Boarding at my home can be discussed if needed - I have 2 dogs and a fenced in yard.
“Maggie is a great find!!! She is new to TX but done Rover in her previous state. I used her to do a dog walk at the park and my dogs had a great time. They were very excited to meet her and they listened to her. I often need a house sitter and we are going to book her this weekend. I highly recommend Maggie.”
About: I grew up on a farm with a ton of animals. We had 10 plus cats and 6 dogs. I’m also experienced with dogs with disabilities I have 3 cats at home and regularly visit my parents to help with the animals there as well. I like being around dogs just don’t have the space myself. I’m very good at caring for the pets. I can walk, brush, wash, or even just play with them. I take good care of the 3 cats I have at home.
About: Hello! My name is Kayla, and I have over 7 years of experience caring for animals professionally, aside from caring for own companion animals for about 15 years. I currently work as a welfare specialist at an animal sanctuary, but have worked in four different animal rescue and care spaces. Along with my extensive knowledge and experience with animal care, I also practice positive reinforcement training and have worked with several different species to provide cognitive enrichment as well as training behaviors for cooperative care. I would love to offer your companion some extra support while you're busy. So I hope you reach out to me for your care needs! I work full time, usually Monday to Friday, but can flex my hours if needed. Best times for walks and drop ins are Monday-Friday after 3pm and anytime on the weekends. I can board or sit any day of the week. My philosophy of care is to support our companions' natural and preferred behaviors in a way that protects their safety. Essentially, I let dogs be dogs. I do not believe in punishment, and will not use aversive tools such as shock, choke, and prong collars. If these are the tools that you use in your home, I will use my own harness or collar while caring for your companion. I believe in providing our companions with agency and understanding, not fear and restriction.
“Kiki was kind, friendly, thoughtful and provided EXCELLENT care of our 2 cats in our home while we were away for over a week. She kept us informed and went above and beyond in letting us know how they were doing! She gave us the peace of mind that comes from being fully confident that she was going to be there for our pets. Check her out for your pet sitting needs. Kiki is the REAL DEAL ❤️”

In addition to occasionally walking our pup and getting her to her grooming appointments on time, Sari does a phenomenal job boarding our dog.

Sari is great with communication and updates us on how our pup is doing while we are away, and even sends the occasional photo!

Our dog loves Sari so much that we have a hard time getting her to come back home with us after her walks or appointments!”
