About: As a kid, I helped care for our family cats and learned early what it means to be responsible for animals. In high school and college, I started overnight dog sitting for my aunt, which helped me build confidence and consistency in caring for pets in someone else’s home. As an adult, I’ve continued pet sitting for three main families, becoming someone they regularly rely on for trustworthy, attentive care. I’m calm, dependable, and comfortable with routine care, overnight stays, and making sure pets feel safe and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine since I work part time and have a flexible schedule. I already spend a lot of my day being active with my own dog—we typically go on 2–3 mile walks daily, which I really enjoy. I love being outdoors and keeping pets engaged and exercised, but I’m just as happy providing calm, relaxed care for pets who prefer a slower pace or more cuddles and downtime. My routine naturally revolves around making sure animals feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after. We have a large, secure, privacy-fenced yard where dogs can safely spend time outside, and our neighborhood is quiet and safe for walks. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and making sure pets are comfortable and stress-free in my care. I’m also very happy to care for pets in their own home—whether that’s letting dogs out for potty breaks, going on walks in their favorite areas, feeding meals and treats, or spending time giving cats attention and cuddles. I follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel secure and cared for in their familiar environment.

“Sean was amazing with Harley! He communicated/gave me updates the whole time he had Harley and sent pictures. He took great care of him and made sure he got his daily walks and exercise. I will deff keep Sean as my primary dog sitter now!”

About: I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I take pride in providing patient, compassionate, and reliable care. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and currently care for my own dog every day. Through years of helping friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve gained experience feeding, walking, playing with, and providing companionship for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and will follow your pet’s routine exactly as instructed. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’ve also worked in an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience with feeding, cleaning, exercising, socializing, and safely handling animals in a variety of situations. I am a freelancer, which allows me to work from home and set my own schedule. I have a flexible routine and can accommodate dog walking and drop-in visits during the day and evening, with the exception of late-night hours. I plan to start offering boarding services once I move into a home with a fenced backyard. I am currently living in an apartment, so I focus on providing pets with a safe, calm, and comfortable environment through attentive care, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. For drop-in visits and walks at a client’s home, I make sure to follow their routines, respect their space, and provide updates so they feel confident their pets are in good hands. I prioritize safety by paying attention to each pet’s needs, keeping them secure, and creating a stress-free experience

About: I am currently earning my master’s in Veterinary Sciences before I start vet school in August. Previously I worked providing animal care to A&M’s research and teaching animals for 3 years while in undergrad. Here I improved my skills at providing specialized care, following specific directions, and assisted vet staff with treatments and medication. I served as President for the A&M Animal Welfare & Behavior club where I improved my knowledge to care for animals of all behaviors. Whether scared, aggressive, high-energy or somewhere in between I look forward to meeting all personalities and helping them be fear-free and comfortable. I have experience with a wide variety of species, highlighted below: Exotics- I help a leadership role in A&M’s Zoological Society where I gained hands-on experiences Reptiles and amphibians- I volunteered with a reptile rescue group cleaning enclosures and feeding 4-H & FFA projects– I showed livestock for many years and have experience with goats, hogs, rabbits, steers and poultry Fish- I worked at a TPWD fish hatchery and have had personal freshwater aquariums. I am comfortable with daily maintenance and care, water changes, and emergency treatments. Equine- I provided daily care and treatment for the horses at A&M’s veterinary medical park. I assisted with a mare-foal research project as well. Livestock – I earned my bachelor's in animal science from Texas A&M with a minor in poultry science. Welfare - While away from your pet, I have plenty of enrichment toys to keep them entertained & active Plants & Gardens – No need to worry about your horticulture while away from home, I have previous experience with house plants and gardens. Previous work experience at an arboretum Photography- I participated in photography projects through 4-H so I will do my best to send you pictures of your pet having fun while you’re away! Pet care is the first thing I do every morning and often the way I end my day. In between, I spend most of my time as a student learning about veterinary medicine and animal husbandry. As needed, I take study breaks to exercise animals in my care. When treatments/specialized care is relevant a prioritize it into my schedule. As a safety precaution for my personal dogs, I have chosen not to offer services at my home. For dogs that might be a flight risk, I have tracking collars that can be used as well as harnesses for extra restraint. I prefer training and exercising animals in an environment they are familiar with but will adjust depending on walk duration and proximity to busy roads. My first dog and most recent loss, was hit by a car at home by a distracted family member. Knowing the pain this causes, I practice extreme caution when it comes to removing animals from a fenced yard. Different homes have different rules so I will make sure to accommodate specifics for your pets regarding indoor/outdoor animals, treats, kenneling, tv time, and being on furniture. I believe our homes are indicative of our hard work/accomplishments in life, it is an honor to be trusted with your pet and home, I will treat both with respect. I have landscaping/lawn care experience, which I am happy to offer while you are away for an extended time.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 4 years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I absolutely love animals and always make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention and cuddles! I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you can feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I’m available throughout the week and possibly weekends for walks, check-ins, or just keeping them company when you’re away. I always make sure pets are comfortable and taken care of. I’m good about following whatever routine you have for them, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or anything else they’re used to. I know that each pet is different, so whatever works for them also works for me:)
