“This weekend was a new adventure. This week they met a new friend Loki, who could of been Echo's distant cousin by looks. They had a great weekend playing and running around. They even helped Justin plant a tree. Thank you again!!!”
“Jennifer & her family have been amazing with looking after our girl Yara, and making her feel right at home in their house. She has been flexible with drop off & pick up times, and also keeping us well informed with pics and videos. She has also been accommodating to our dog’s particular behavior needs (food aggression) and adjusted so everyone stays safe and comfortable! We already have more dates on the calendar with her and will be booking more!”
“Eliza goes above and beyond! The dogs were happy and active with the other dogs staying there. Eliza has a doggy door from the living room to the backyard, so I am sure the dogs made good use of it!”
“Tracy was amazing with our dog who can be very anxious. This was the first time ever that we have picked him up from boarding that he was completely calm and didn’t seem stressed at all. Tracy sent pictures and communicated all weekend. I would recommend Tracy to anyone. Our little guy was treated with care and love just like he was one of their own.”
“Bailee’s communication is phenomenal! She responds fairly quick and gave us constant picture updates of our fur baby’s progress. Ozzy seemed to have made himself at home and had fun there because he came back sleepy, which is good for us! :)”
“Just simply outstanding. Jerry was very welcoming as soon as I pulled up for the initial meeting and introduction. He made the boys feel at home, introduced them to his dogs and made me feel very comfortable in leaving my dogs with him. Great pictures every day and updates just sealed the deal. I will be back. Thank you Jerry.”
“Jessica was amazing! She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. He was so happy and comfortable with her that I don’t think he even missed me! 😂🐾 I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 💕”
“Shelby and her family were wonderful when watching Ranger! While she kept him, she provided us with updates and pictures showing that he was in great hands and well-loved!”
“We LOVE Lexi! I can’t count the amount of times our pups have stayed with her. We have a senior dog and a hyper mutt but both come home super happy and well taken care of. Lexi sends plenty of pictures throughout their time with her and keeps us updated during their stay. We’ll continue to send our pups to Lexi as long as she’ll have us!”
“Linda was fantastic with our dog! She and her husband were the friendliest people and welcomed our pup into their home like he was their own. They took such good care of him and provided updates on his care while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for somewhere to board their pets.”
“This was my first time leaving our dog with a sitter and she was great! Rocky was nervous but Isabel was patient and loving with him. My kids really enjoyed getting pictures of him and seeing him doing well. Would book again. Thank you.”

“Monica gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for 9 days on a cruise. Chance had trouble sleeping and she helped calm him down with essential oils. We are grateful for her and her boys...I can tell that Chance was well loved while we were away. I highly recommend her! We received updates and pics the whole time as well!”

“Aleisa did a great job with our 2 cats and house sitting at our home. They were happy and healthy when we got home and everything was nice and tidy in our house. Thank you Aleisa. See you again.”
About: Over the past 5 years we had cats come to our home, found them on roads, and found them around my old high school. We have 8 kitties, 1 outside , 7 inside. I have cleaned 6 of the 8 cats myself when we rescued them, I am currently in college so I was not around when we rescued the 2 newest kitties. I took 5 of them to the vet and administered flea and worm medicine to them. Some of them also had eye/ear problems and I would take care of them by giving them eye/ear drops with no problem (I gave them treats so they would feel better!)

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. Also I’be work at different vet clinics through my life.so I have the experience to take care of your animals in best way possible. I’m currently a bather at my clinic so if baths and nail trims is something you want added on that is something I can do for you as well. I do work during the week but have weekends off and if it close to work during the week I can stop by during my breaks to play and let them out to potty. I have my own furry babies that are super friendly to play with if you want that environment or they can have my divided attention.

About: I have always loved cats, and had always been around them in some capacity growing up; Had outside cats, inside cats, befriended neighborhood cats and fed strays. I knew at a very young age that cats were just different and you needed to earn their trust and respect at their pace. I started working professionally with cats at my first veterinary job back in 2008, and it made me love them so much more. My first cat I adopted as an adult was a 16 year old tabby named Lincoln who was about to be euthanized for being bullied by the other 9 young cats at home. I said "absolutely not!" And I took him home, loved him, learned so much more about cats and he lived to be about 20 years old. I started working with rescues, with TNR projects, raising litters of kittens. I am just passionate about them. I'm patient, I understand their behavior and their language. I'm comfortable administering medications in any form (oral, injectable, etc.). Im comfortable caring for healthy cats, as well as those with special needs, and of course hospice kitties as well. I'm also always happy and ready to help with kittens. I have a deep understanding of feline medicine and will always be passionate about feline health.
“Relocating from Los Angeles to Tyler for my residency at UT Tyler was stressful, and I was especially worried about leaving my fur babies, Luna P and Washington, with a sitter during the holidays for a whole week. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Raul. He kept me updated throughout the week with pictures and thoughtful texts, even asking for specific details to ensure he was meeting my pets' needs. Raul was on top of everything, and it was clear he truly cared about my bbs. Washington, who is very shy and nervous around strangers, warmed up to Raul by day three and was even playing with him! Knowing my pets were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my time with family, without any worries. I highly recommend Raul. He is trustworthy, responsible, and reliable—qualities I truly appreciated during such a busy and stressful time.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the energy and presence I bring around animals. I’m naturally calm, patient, and attentive, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable pretty quickly, even if they’re shy or anxious. I’ve spent a lot of time around animals and genuinely enjoy being with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just sitting with them and keeping them company. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, so I can adjust how I care for them based on their personality. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and staying active. I structure my schedule so I have the time and flexibility to give each pet the attention and care they need. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. Whether I’m in your home or caring for them day-to-day, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: I have had a dog or cat in my life for over 5 decades. My parents raised dogs and taught me early in life how to care for pets. My heart has always belonged to some sort of pet from rabbits, guinea pigs to dogs and cats. Big dogs, smaller dogs and everything in between. I have loved them all. I am confident in my love and ability to care for all pets and appreciate my time with them. I feel pets are an essential part of my every day life. I am a Doggie Mama to 3 Basset hounds and a Rat Terrier who thinks he is a Basset hound. Our life is really blessed and very good and we wouldn't change a thing.
About: I’ve fostered several stray cats and kittens over the years and currently have two male cats of my own. I’ve also completed drop-in visits for cats through other pet care platforms, giving me experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, routines, and needs. Through fostering and pet sitting, I’ve learned how to work with social cats, shy cats, former strays, and cats that simply prefer to do things on their own terms. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, keeping litter boxes clean, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm environment while their owners are away. One thing I’ve learned from years of caring for cats is that it’s a cat’s world and we’re just living in it. Every cat is different, and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust, respect their boundaries, and provide care that matches their individual personality.
About: I've had cats since I was very young. I had a brief hiatus from cats in my 20s when I had dogs that weren't super friendly to cats, but I now have two adorable cats that I love very much! Would love to spend some time making friends with and caring for your cats.
About: I have been grooming cats (and dogs) for the last six years, so I do have experience with all kinds of temperaments. My orange tabby Geoffrey Saucer is an event all in himself. I try to keep my presence in your home as calm and unintrusive as possible, I know how finicky some cats can be about change!

“Dena has a love for dogs i wish more people had! She took care of my puppy for his first visit to somewhere else besides his home and i couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. She should definitely be considered for any dog as a sitter”

About: Hi! My name is Lexie. i have two dogs, Astro and Stark. Those two boys are what got me into the pet care environment. Searching for a sitter or dog walker for them made me realize I would only want the BEST for my two boys. So I decided to become one myself. I have years of experience with dogs, cats, birds, horses, goats, chickens, exotics including hedgehogs, snakes, guinea pigs, fish and many more. I am a freelance dog trainer and groom my own dogs so if your pooch needs a little spiffy up while you’re gone don’t worry! I worked in animal rescue for many years and now do dog sports so I have experience with nearly every breed of dog imaginable. My own dogs are very high energy and need both mental stimulation and physical exercise so that’s why I also offer dog walking services. Contact me if you have ANY questions or want to meet me before booking an appointment. I’ll be happy to oblige. I am usually at home caring for the dogs! I am a dog trainer so I am available to play with the dogs and let them out most of the day. I have 1 acre fenced in. If your dog is an escape artist like mine, they will be leash walked or supervised in the backyard. I do utilize a crate if you provide it. If you prefer your dog to not be in one that is respected!
“Monica was prompt, helpful, and accommodating when i needed a last minute dog sitter. My dog, Honey Bear, hung out with her in her home, where Monica treated HB like one of her own pups. HB was only there for the afternoon, but i’m happy Monica was able to watch her while i had business in Longview! I would work with her again in the future, and suggest that you do, too!”

I am intentional about not overbooking so each pet receives the quality care, patience, and one-on-one attention they deserve.

For grooming services, I use a gentle, low-stress approach, allowing pets to feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I take my time and adjust based on each pet’s behavior and needs.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, she is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. My dog is always well taken care of, happy, and clearly loved while I’m away.I received regular updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pet, but she exceeded all expectations. I will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone dependable and compassionate!”

“Shelby is a wonderful pet sitter who took great care of our furry girl. We had a great first impression when we met her. Amora is usually shy and doesn’t interact much, but I was surprised when I heard that she was playing with Shelby’s kids. I’m so glad that Amora’s first experience went smoothly. I will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have been a dog lover since my first dog followed me home at the age of 6 (and he was a full size Doberman of all things). I currently have a German Shepherd, Pit bull Mix, Husky Mix, Chihuahua Mix and an Orange Tabby so I'm used to animals of all sizes and temperaments. My poor Pit Mix has allergies, my GSD has hip dysplasia and my Chihuahua has a heart condition, so I'm well versed in special needs! I do research constantly and spend lots of time talking to our vet about how I can make their lives, and mine, easier. I'd love to put all that knowledge to work for your fur babies! I know CPR for dogs and even keep a doggie first aid kit in my car! Just in case. I do my best to make sure my presence is felt as little as possible in your home but that your baby gets all the attention they need and deserve! I'm currently dog and cat grooming only on Fridays and Saturdays. So usually Sun-Thurs its just me and my pets living our best lives. I have a two acre property that we constantly explore and we love to go swimming at the nearby lake! I do my best to be as unintrusive as possible when in you're home! Letting me know their favorite toys and activities do make things easier for us to bond! I have a fully fenced in half acre with another acre and a half we can explore while leashed! There are cows, chickens and other animals on the farm next door so there's plenty of sights (and smells)!
“Luke was a perfect fit to my new furry baby!!! Took plenty of pic and it was only for 1 day!! Loved it.

About: Hey! My name is Stefanie and I have been taking care of animals for almost my entire life. I have experience with both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets for you. I hold myself to the same standards that I would expect from my own pet sitters. I can handle animals of all shapes and sizes, even your giant breeds! I have experience in the veterinary field and have cared for pets with all types of dietary restrictions, medical needs, and temperaments - so if your pet needs some special attention, I'm your gal! I have had dogs for almost my entire life. As a child my family had a Lhasa Apso, and he lived a long and happy life with us. I have had pets of my own since 2014, and all my pups are seniors now - they have a special place in my heart! I also have two sweet young cats and would love to check on your feline kiddos. I am a full time mother so I am readily available for drop in visits, overnights, and walks. Please note that my infant son will be with me during all visits. I will of course assume responsibility for my kiddo being safe around your pets, but please be mindful of your pets' temperament with children when booking! My ideal scenario when caring for your pets is to adopt their current routine - I find that keeps them the happiest while their people are away. I'm happy to visit on whatever schedule is best for you, and I'm happy to do overnights as needed.
About: Former zookeeper with 12 years of experience. I grew up riding horses before I could walk and having a variety of dogs and reptiles and birds as pets. I am comfortable taking care of most domestic, exotic and farm animals. I can give oral and basic injectable medications. I am currently working part time remotely so my schedule is very wide open. I am generally a night owl but I enjoy early morning walks as well. I currently live in an rv park close to Lake Cherokee. I am comfortable taking care of your babies in my space; however, it is an RV so space is very limited and I have no fenced in area. As for your home, I enjoy providing quality peace of mind that both your space and your pets will be extremely well looked after.
About: I've taken care of larger and small dogs for since I was 12. I am very reliable and dedicated. I want to ensure a great experience for both owner and pet. My schedule is extremely flexible so I will have plently of availability to walk and care for your fur babies! I am excited to walk and care for your pups! I know how to crate and take care of animals. My previous lab was very young and had an autoimmune condition so I have alot of experience with taking care of dogs.

About: I have been a dog lover since my first dog followed me home at the age of 6 (and he was a full size Doberman of all things). I currently have a German Shepherd, Pit bull Mix, Husky Mix, Chihuahua Mix and an Orange Tabby so I'm used to animals of all sizes and temperaments. My poor Pit Mix has allergies, my GSD has hip dysplasia and my Chihuahua has a heart condition, so I'm well versed in special needs! I do research constantly and spend lots of time talking to our vet about how I can make their lives, and mine, easier. I'd love to put all that knowledge to work for your fur babies! I know CPR for dogs and even keep a doggie first aid kit in my car! Just in case. I do my best to make sure my presence is felt as little as possible in your home but that your baby gets all the attention they need and deserve! I'm currently dog and cat grooming only on Fridays and Saturdays. So usually Sun-Thurs its just me and my pets living our best lives. I have a two acre property that we constantly explore and we love to go swimming at the nearby lake! I do my best to be as unintrusive as possible when in you're home! Letting me know their favorite toys and activities do make things easier for us to bond! I have a fully fenced in half acre with another acre and a half we can explore while leashed! There are cows, chickens and other animals on the farm next door so there's plenty of sights (and smells)!

Everyone needs someone special to take care of their loved pets. Let me help you take that worry off your shoulders. I can’t wait to meet your beautiful fur baby!!

Nothing beats a homebody loving on your fur babies. I love to love on your babies. There are many days spent playing fetch! I have a fenced environment perfect for time spent outdoors. You can trust me to treat your fur baby like my own.
About: Hi, I’m Alyviah! I’m 24, a veteran, and a lifelong animal lover. My crew includes two mini schnauzers, two cats, and a banana ball python, so caring for different personalities and species is part of my everyday life. I’ve had dogs big and small throughout my life. For the past 4 years, I’ve provided walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and boarding for dogs, cats, and reptiles. I’ve also rescued and fostered stray animals and volunteered with local adoption centers. Life can be unpredictable, so I’d love to help when you need an extra hand. I would love to create new memories with your furry, feathered, and scaly babies and hopefully become your go-to gal! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days, including weekends, allowing me to provide reliable care when needed. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and following their routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and make their time away from their owner as stress-free as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. I also believe communication is important, so I like to provide updates and photos when possible. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.
“Genesis did so amazing taking care of Tigger & Holstein while we were away! She made sure to get ample pictures and our big guy loved seeing her! Will absolutely be using her again in the future💙💙”
About: Growing up I have always been an animal lover. At my house we have always had all types of animals dogs, cats, pigs etc etc. I am very good with all types of animals and I will treat your dog with the same amount of kindness and love you would treat your dog. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with a stranger especially in this day and age where people can be really scary and not trusty worthy- which is why if you trust me you won’t be let down! your fur baby will be in good hands :) I don’t think of it as a job it makes my heart happy knowing that i can help you ease your mind and help take one thing off your plate when traveling :) I currently work part time at the olive garden in longview but I pretty much am able to make my own schedules so i can be available whenever I am needed :) I live on property that is gated so your animal will not be able to run out. I have 4 other dogs that are very well behaved and love to meet and play with new animals however if that doesn’t fit for your dog i also do have secluded areas where they can be kept away from other dogs.
About: I have had animals and have pet sat my whole life ! I am committed to ensuring your babies are taken care / loved for during any occasion ! 💙 I currently work at Walmart part time, but am always open to caring for your babies without any hesitation. 🥰My schedule comes out a month in advance so lmk & we’ll get them taken care of ! I have a very big fenced in yard along with four dogs of my own (which are all females ages 1 and a half - almost 3 yrs old.) I would love to make your pet feel at home & comfortable whether that be here or there ! 😊I can uphold many commitments of : feeding, walking, potty breaks, play time, baths, & so much more ! Your pet will feel as if you’ve never left!
About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.
