“Denali did such a wonderful job house sitting for our 3 large pups and our kitty. She sent updates and pictures daily and we returned to a clean home and happy fur babies. I was actually able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were being taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Denali and hope to book her again in the future.”

“Pam took good care of my babies and my house. Charlie is usually very vocal with new people but didn’t even bark when she arrived. The photos she sent me showed how relaxed they were while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her and use her again.”

“Christopher was outstanding! He was very attentive and playful with my dog and was sure to take care of her since is an older dog. He took her on her walks and checked in throughout his stay. He even washed and dried the linens before I arrived home! Very thoughtful! Have already booked Christopher again.”

“Magdalena did an outstanding job taking care of Charlie for us as well as house sitting! We will be using her services again and definitely recommend her to anyone else looking for someone to take care of their pets.”

“Kaley was a life saver! We had originally booked another sitter, but had to find a new one in the middle of our booking due to an incident that happened. We were out of state, so not only was Kaley willing and able to take our dogs on such short notice, but she even went and picked them up herself from the other sitter. She sent me photo updates daily, and even sent us home with a little gift! She was so sweet and easy to work with, we will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve been pet and house sitting for several years, and I truly love what I do. I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience supporting pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making them feel safe and happy. I offer drop‑in visits, and dog walks perfect for pups who need potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or a good stretch during the day! Each visit is tailored to your dog’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ve also spent years housesitting, and I understand how important it is to have someone you trust in your home. Keeping dogs in their familiar home environment allows them to stay in their routine, feel secure, and experience far less stress while their pawrent is away! I treat every home with the same respect and care I give my own, and I keep pet parents updated daily so they can relax knowing everything is handled. I also offer professional bath and brush services as an optional add‑on for dogs up to 50 lbs, perfect for pups who could use a little extra pampering. It’s a great way to come home to a clean, fresh dog after your trip. Your dog’s comfort, routine, and happiness are always my top priorities! I’m here to make your time away as smooth and stress‑free as possible — for both you and your pet. Pet care is part of my daily schedule. I plan my walks, drop‑ins, and housesitting around each pet’s routine so they stay comfortable and stress‑free in their own home. I care for pets in their own home, follow their routine, crate as needed, and always use the correct harness or walking equipment exactly how you prefer to keep your dog safe on walks.

About: I treat every pet like family! 🐾 I have experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I focus on making every stay fun, safe, loving, and stress-free. Whether your pup loves playtime, cuddles, walks, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel right at home! 💛 I’m home most of the time, so your dog will get plenty of supervision, care, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day! I do work short 4–6 hour shifts on Sundays, but otherwise my schedule revolves around making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and right at home while you’re away. 🐾💛 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first! 🐾 I provide a loving, clean, and stress-free environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I always follow each pet’s routine and any instructions closely to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away! 💛
About: I am new to professional pet sitting but I have watched dogs for my family members as well as fed cattle and cats for my grandparents while they were away. I currently work at a middle school as a paraprofessional and have summers off. During the school year I am available after 5 on the weekdays and all day on weekends. I will keep pets clean and fed as well as provide any needed services while they’re in my care. That includes grooming, walking, and even cleaning up after them.
About: I have my B.S. In Animal Science and have been a care taker of all species and breeds of animals. I also train many large breeds of dogs. I own my own Agriculture Management and Consulting Business so my schedule is relatively free. I definitely have enough time to take any "puppy" on an adventure or make sure they're safe at home. I have a large backyard and a open concept home. I give respect and space to all animals to help generate a loving and fun environment.
About: I've lived with dogs since I was born. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs, cats and other animals while they are on vacation. In high school, I took a class where we learned how to bathe dogs and clip their nails. I am currently at a student at West Texas A&M University. I am available for weekday mornings and evenings and all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hey there – my name is Rachel, and I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I am an experienced sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures with dogs. Some people have told me I’m a dog whisperer at times… I have yet to prove them wrong. I will love on your pooch with everything I have. I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to living in the dorms at West Texas A&M University I am not available to have any pets.
“I really appreciated that Shilee really cared about our pups while we were away visiting relatives. It is so nice to have peace of mind when you can't bring your dogs along. I couldn't have asked for a better dogsitter than Shilee, would have her watch my dogs again!”

“Abby did a phenomenal job taking care of our Great Dane and Chihuahua. She sent photos and communicated regularly. Lola and Zoey absolutely loved her. I will definitely use Abby again.”
