“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of Castiel, Crowley, and Lilith. She was caring, attentive, and clearly took the time to understand each of their personalities.

About: Hello! My family and I are absolute pet lovers, and we would be thrilled to welcome your furry friend into our home. We know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind. Separation anxiety is incredibly common, and having a dependable, loving caretaker makes all the difference. When your dog stays with us, they become a part of our family. As a registered dietitian, attention to detail and proper care are second nature to me. I apply those same high standards to your pet, ensuring fresh water is always available and no meals or schedules are ever missed. You can fully relax on your trip knowing they are in safe, caring, and structured hands. I am available 7 days/week from 8AM-7PM. I am a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is flexible for your pet's needs. I am never too busy to take care of your pet. I will make scheduled visits to your home to ensure your furry friend is fed and let outside. Your pet will feel more comfortable in their environment, and I won't miss or be late for a visit. I am open to taking in dogs, depending on the breed and personality.

“I’m so thankful to Isabella for taking such great care of my little baby girl, Kirana! This was our first time ever leaving her with anyone, so I was definitely nervous, but Isabella made the experience so reassuring. She kept me updated throughout the day, let me check in, and sent pictures/videos which I really appreciated. Kirana had such a good time and was very well cared for. You can tell Isabella genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I’m so happy we found her and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their fur baby! 🩷”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, which has given me many years of hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over time, I’ve learned how to understand dogs’ behaviors, needs, and routines, from feeding and exercise to basic care and attention. I’m comfortable handling energetic dogs, as well as those who may need a little extra patience or structure. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m home full-time, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling and consistent care throughout the day. I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, supervision, and companionship they need, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I’m experienced managing a multi-dog household, so I’m comfortable supervising and handling multiple dogs at once. I provide a clean, structured, and calm environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed. I always monitor interactions closely and make sure each dog gets the attention and care they need, whether that’s playtime, exercise, or quiet rest.
About: Hey there! My name is Gabby and live out in McGregor Tx. Just down the highway from Woodway. My daycare services are perfect for dogs that are not great in a large dog setting and need more personal one to one setting in which they can relax and enjoy their day away from their owners without all the pressure and stress of a multi dog play setting. I have a private backyard with access to long country walks and private walking trails. You can expect your dog to receive a lunch, walk, play time and tons of cuddles upon every stay. Boarders recieve Breakfast and Dinner (owner provided) as well as a snack. I offer regular dog walks and drop ins for the dogs unable to come over personally or who may not be the best in a group. Doggy walks will always be a minimum mile (unless specified otherwise by the owner) and Drop-ins will include poop cleanups, play time and light housework if desired. I can also offer some quick obedience lessons if desired which just includes the basic doggy mind push-ups, sit, down, stay, come repeated a few times. I use positive reinforcement with treats and verbal cues. Please let me know if your dog has any medical requirements, a special diet or any allergies. I'm able to administer any medications as needed. Also am able to do basic grooming (nails, bathing, genital area clean up, matts). As well as light housework (dishes, laundry, ect.) I'm currently a full time pet mama so my days are spent caring for my own little flock of animals. I currently have my own dog I've trained to be a successful hunting dog as well as fancy chickens that live in the coop in the back. I also have a wide variety of tanked pets including a Leopard Gecko, Texas Rat Snake, Hamster and Betta fish so exotic pet care is also something I can provide for any herp and aquarium owners out there thinking about how they could manage a vacation. I wake up around 5am everyday to walk my Terrier cross and let him stretch his legs first thing. We walk at least a mile before I come home and check on my Chickens, Leopard Gecko, Hamster and Snake. I feed and clean water dishes. Then go and clean the fish tank and use the water to water the garden.

She has her own bed setup (pillows and all) and she gets fed twice a day and gets many treats, hugs, kisses, and rubs. Binx is very spoiled as well.

About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
About: I would love to take care of your pet! I can accommodate whatever care requests needed! I have a comfy home and a golden doodle that would love a friend! I work from home so I have plenty of time to watch your pet, feed them on a schedule, walk them, and give them potty breaks.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was five years old, and neighbors trusted me with their pets as early as age 16. I continue to help friends and family by providing walks, playtime, and plenty of comfort and companionship for their pet. I have experience with pets of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and with dogs who have disabilities. Also small animals such as mice, hamsters, bunnies all the way up to Salcuta tortoise , I truly treat every pet like family and believe animals bring peace and joy to our lives. As I write this, I’m sitting for six dogs happily curled up at my feet and in my lap right where they belong. I currently work a shift schedule where I would be available after 2 pm or after 5 am. Hope to make this more of a full time job. Your welcome to contact me and I can let you know my schedule for the week. If needed I can ask off should I be needed for multiple days. In my home, I have a fenced yard that is perfect for both my dogs and my tortoise. I spoil my tortoise with delicious treats and ensure he stays warm in the winter. My dogs are like my kids; I take them for walks, give them treats, and shower them with love. When caring for a client's pet, I strictly follow their instructions. I provide treats if permitted, take them for walks as needed, and offer plenty of affection to ensure they feel loved. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment, helping them feel comfortable and at ease while their owners are away.

I have a fenced yard and friendly pups that can either be a part of the fun or not. I also have a crate if needed.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my personalized approach, attention to detail, and deep passion for animal care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that each pet receives consistent, loving attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their well-being with structured care and flexibility to meet their unique needs. I create a pet-friendly space with cozy bedding, toys, and designated play areas. • Routine & Structure: I maintain the pet’s regular feeding, potty, and exercise schedule to minimize stress. • Supervision & Socialization: I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and, if appropriate, social interaction with other pets. • Health & Hygiene: Fresh water, clean spaces, and any necessary grooming or medication administration are priorities.
