About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all personalities, temperaments, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine love. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work outside the home, but I work close by where coming home at lunchtime to check on your furry friend it’s not a problem. I have a fenced in yard and I am very careful to keep the doors closed. I am responsible and aware of things going on around me.
“Great experience! Peyton was very flexible and accommodating coordinating the booking and Milo was very happy upon picking him up and had a great time! She sent updates over the stay and photos to help keep me updated on Milo. Definitely would rebook and recommend!”
About: I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter with previous experience caring for pets and house sitting. I’ve been around animals my whole life and understand the importance of following routines, being attentive, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own dog and am used to planning my day around feeding, walks, and making sure pets get the attention they need. My schedule is flexible, and I’m very responsible about showing up on time and following the routine each owner provides. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m also very respectful of the home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. Most importantly, I give each pet plenty of attention, patience, and care.
About: So, I usually volunteer at animal shelters so my experience taking care of dogs comes mostly from that, and I want to be a veterinarian so I’ve also had some experience with shadowing, and can usually see when things are wrong. I will say I’ve never done dog sitting but I’ve had a dog before and currently a cat, so I do know how to take care of animals. Hello, I’m currently home for summer, and I have pretty much every day free besides volunteering at a shelter in the morning from 9-11. Most of the time I have the dog, I’ll most likely spend walking them. I do love doing dog walks, but I’ll also always make sure they’re well fed, and well cared for, and always have water.
“Kayla did an amazing job!! Bailey came home so worn out and happy, couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker! She sent me pictures throughout the stay and made sure my pup was taken care of!! 10/10 recommend”
About: Growing up we have always had pets. We have always had dogs, but we have also had cats, and even goats. This has given me experience caring for pets of many kind. I have cared my own dog since he was a puppy, giving me the experience necessary to care for your puppies. I work 48-72 hours at a time. On my off days I will be around all day to take give your dog a full day of attention I provide the attentive care necessary to keep your pet safe. I have plenty of experience walking pets on leash, and taking care of pets.
“So thankful to Jessica for taking such good care of Blu! She sent pics and updates daily for us. She was very patient with him being nervous his first night. I know he played non stop with his new buddies. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs and I will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you so much from Dani & Blu!”
About: Animals have been my entire life and passion. I grew up caring for them and have extensive, hands-on experience handling all types of personalities, sizes, and needs. My background includes working on a ranch where I managed boarding operations and administered medical care for both large and small animals. I am deeply committed to animal welfare. I have also spent years volunteering with multiple city Trap-Neuter-Return/Release (TNR) programs, which taught me how to safely handle anxious or fearful animals with patience and respect. I love all animals and treat every guest like family. Your pet will be staying in a home that is truly optimized for their safety and well-being.I work from home full-time with a highly flexible schedule, which gives me 24/7 availability. I take frequent breaks throughout the day to play, walk, and monitor your pet, ensuring constant supervision. Thanks to my ranch and TNR background, I have expert handling skills and understand animal behavior well. I can comfortably handle high-energy or shy pets, and I am fully confident administering oral medications, injections, or following strict medical routines.Because I work from the comfort of my home, your pet will rarely be left alone. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. Whether your pet needs a high-energy day of fetch or a quiet, comfortable space to snooze next to my desk, I easily adapt to their specific schedule and habits. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. My schedule allows me to stay with your pet almost 24/7, ensuring they are rarely left alone. Throughout the workday, I have a set routine where I take three 15-minute breaks and one full 1-hour break. I use this time to focus completely on your pet by taking them on walks, playing, or giving them potty breaks. Because my job keeps me at my desk, your pet can sleep or relax right in the same room with me all day, or they can rest in a separate room if they prefer quiet time. On weekends and evenings, my schedule is completely open for longer walks, grooming, and extra socialization. I tailor my care entirely to the unique needs of each animal, whether they are staying with me or if I am visiting your home. Thanks to my experience working on a ranch and volunteering with city trap-neuter-return programs, I am highly skilled in reading animal behavior and handling fearful, anxious, or high-energy pets. I maintain strict safety protocols, double-check that all gates and doors are secure, and follow your exact feeding and exercise instructions. If your pet has medical needs, I am fully qualified to administer oral medications and injections safely. I keep a clean, stress-free environment and adapt the daily setup based on your preferences and what fits the specific service you book.

“Peyton did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of Bohdi! From the moment we connected, Peyton was professional, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Bohdi can be a bit particular at times, but Peyton handled everything with patience and care, making sure he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication—it gave me complete peace of mind knowing Bohdi was in such good hands. It’s clear Peyton goes above and beyond, not just meeting expectations but truly caring for pets as if they were their own. When I returned, Bohdi was relaxed, well cared for, and clearly had a great experience.

About: I am an experienced pet owner and have been around dogs, cats, and horses my whole life. As a pet owner I know how great it is to not have to worry about pet care when I am traveling and leave my fur babies home with a pet sitter. I want my clients to have that same feeling and know their pet is getting the best care when left with me. I am not currently working and have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby. I love to walk and am available for neighborhood walks or can take your pet to a park. Your pet’s safety and happiness is my top priority.

About: I have loved dogs since I was old enough to learn what they are. I have been around dogs since I was a kid. I helped my parents raise a puppy for my grandmother when I was younger. During COVID I spent my time raising my family dog. During my adult life I have volunteered at the Aggieland Humane Society and enjoyed my time there. I love meeting new dogs, taking care of animals and helping people with their pets. For this summer I am only focusing on my online college courses, so I have an empty schedule that I am hoping to fill with meeting dogs. I approach dogs gently, and let them set the tone for our meeting. If the dog does not want me to pet them, I will only do what I need to so that I can take them on a walk. If a dog is energetic, I will play with them in the backyard or a large area. I also am good at following directions and will enjoy completing the directions the owner has left.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all personalities, temperaments, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine love. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work outside the home, but I work close by where coming home at lunchtime to check on your furry friend it’s not a problem. I have a fenced in yard and I am very careful to keep the doors closed. I am responsible and aware of things going on around me.
About: So, I usually volunteer at animal shelters so my experience taking care of dogs comes mostly from that, and I want to be a veterinarian so I’ve also had some experience with shadowing, and can usually see when things are wrong. I will say I’ve never done dog sitting but I’ve had a dog before and currently a cat, so I do know how to take care of animals. Hello, I’m currently home for summer, and I have pretty much every day free besides volunteering at a shelter in the morning from 9-11. Most of the time I have the dog, I’ll most likely spend walking them. I do love doing dog walks, but I’ll also always make sure they’re well fed, and well cared for, and always have water.
“Kayla did an amazing job!! Bailey came home so worn out and happy, couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker! She sent me pictures throughout the stay and made sure my pup was taken care of!! 10/10 recommend”
About: Growing up we have always had pets. We have always had dogs, but we have also had cats, and even goats. This has given me experience caring for pets of many kind. I have cared my own dog since he was a puppy, giving me the experience necessary to care for your puppies. I work 48-72 hours at a time. On my off days I will be around all day to take give your dog a full day of attention I provide the attentive care necessary to keep your pet safe. I have plenty of experience walking pets on leash, and taking care of pets.
“So thankful to Jessica for taking such good care of Blu! She sent pics and updates daily for us. She was very patient with him being nervous his first night. I know he played non stop with his new buddies. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs and I will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you so much from Dani & Blu!”
About: Animals have been my entire life and passion. I grew up caring for them and have extensive, hands-on experience handling all types of personalities, sizes, and needs. My background includes working on a ranch where I managed boarding operations and administered medical care for both large and small animals. I am deeply committed to animal welfare. I have also spent years volunteering with multiple city Trap-Neuter-Return/Release (TNR) programs, which taught me how to safely handle anxious or fearful animals with patience and respect. I love all animals and treat every guest like family. Your pet will be staying in a home that is truly optimized for their safety and well-being.I work from home full-time with a highly flexible schedule, which gives me 24/7 availability. I take frequent breaks throughout the day to play, walk, and monitor your pet, ensuring constant supervision. Thanks to my ranch and TNR background, I have expert handling skills and understand animal behavior well. I can comfortably handle high-energy or shy pets, and I am fully confident administering oral medications, injections, or following strict medical routines.Because I work from the comfort of my home, your pet will rarely be left alone. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. Whether your pet needs a high-energy day of fetch or a quiet, comfortable space to snooze next to my desk, I easily adapt to their specific schedule and habits. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. My schedule allows me to stay with your pet almost 24/7, ensuring they are rarely left alone. Throughout the workday, I have a set routine where I take three 15-minute breaks and one full 1-hour break. I use this time to focus completely on your pet by taking them on walks, playing, or giving them potty breaks. Because my job keeps me at my desk, your pet can sleep or relax right in the same room with me all day, or they can rest in a separate room if they prefer quiet time. On weekends and evenings, my schedule is completely open for longer walks, grooming, and extra socialization. I tailor my care entirely to the unique needs of each animal, whether they are staying with me or if I am visiting your home. Thanks to my experience working on a ranch and volunteering with city trap-neuter-return programs, I am highly skilled in reading animal behavior and handling fearful, anxious, or high-energy pets. I maintain strict safety protocols, double-check that all gates and doors are secure, and follow your exact feeding and exercise instructions. If your pet has medical needs, I am fully qualified to administer oral medications and injections safely. I keep a clean, stress-free environment and adapt the daily setup based on your preferences and what fits the specific service you book.
“She had great communication throughout the entire stay and was incredibly flexible, which made everything so easy! It was obvious that she genuinely cared about my babies and wanted them to feel comfortable.”
About: I’ve had pets for 6 years now. I got my first Ragdoll cat in 2020, then raised a black Labrador from a puppy in 2021. We spent a lot of time together and went on a lot of trips, so he’s pretty used to new places and changes. My friends used to call my pets “travel pets.” In 2024, I also got a Siamese cat. I’m very used to having pets around all the time and spending long hours with them. I really enjoy being with animals. Being around pets makes me happy and gives me a lot of energy, and I’m more than happy to spend time just hanging out with them, playing, walking, or keeping them company. I’m a PhD student at Texas A&M, and I mostly work from home since my work is computer-based. I don’t need to go into an office except for occasional meetings, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I usually like to take pets out first thing after I wake up, and during the day I have plenty of breaks where I’m happy to spend time playing with them or just hanging out. I’m around most of the day, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I often watch my friends’ pets, especially when they go home for holidays or travel, so I’m used to caring for pets that are new to me. I’m pretty good at getting pets to feel comfortable quickly, and I always take things slow and let them set the pace. I keep my place clean and calm, and I’m careful about safety and routines. I want pets to feel safe and relaxed, not stressed.
About: I was 12 when I got my first dog, a cocker spaniel named Megara. My parents quickly put me in charge of her, and caring for her taught me to put another's needs before my own. She gave me lifelong lessons about the love and loyalty between a pet and their owner. Today I have an Old English Sheepdog named Delphi. Other owners at the dog park often comment on how sweet she is, and she has grown into a great older sister to our family dog, Luna (who lives with my family). Between the two of them, I am comfortable with large breeds and with the extra patience senior dogs need. I have also dog sat regularly for friends, so I am used to stepping into someone else's routine and keeping their dog on it. I am very outdoorsy on top of that, so your dog will get real walks, not a quick trip around the block. As a PhD student, I work from home most of the day. My time on campus is limited to a few classes, my TA hours, and a student association meeting every other week, so I am home and available far more than someone on a standard nine to five. That flexibility is a big part of why I got Delphi at the start of my PhD. She has always had someone around to take her out during the day, and I can offer your dog the same. Before any payments or booking, I would like to set up a meet and greet so I can see how your dog responds to me. It tells me a lot, whether they warm up right away or need space, and it means the first day is not the first time we have met. This doesn't have to be long but it is a nice first impression to the dog. In my home, your dog will not be alone. Delphi is here as company, and I introduce new dogs to her slowly and on neutral ground so the first meeting goes well for both of them (like a local dog park). I live in a quiet, secure apartment community with an on-site dog park and an open field next door, plus several trails within walking distance, so your dog gets real exercise rather than being cooped up all day. Delphi is not crate trained and has free run of the apartment, but I am happy to crate your dog if that is part of their routine. Just bring the crate and let me know the schedule you use. In your home, I stick to your dog's routine rather than imposing my own. I follow your feeding times, walk schedule, and house rules, keep dogs leashed anywhere that is not fenced, and send photo updates so you know how the day went. If anything seems off with your dog, I contact you right away, and I am prepared to drive them to a vet if it cannot wait.
