“Elizabeth is absolutely incredible! She was able to take my Dio in for the winter holidays last second, and he had a blast the entire time (her amazing daily photography showed proof of that). Would absolutely recommend!”
“We were a little anxious leaving our Charlee with a sitter for 2 weeks. Nancy put us at ease with daily reports of how he was doing and photos of him. I would not hesitate leaving him with her again. She was amazing.”
“Alex and Sherissa are a very nice couple. They helped us out with accepting a last minute request for boarding and daycare. They asked us about there feeding times, sleeping habits and what they like to do for fun. We were very comfortable trusting them with our 2 dogs. I highly recommend them for your family needs. 10 STARS”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up caring for three family dogs—one small dog and two medium-sized dogs. As a dedicated dog lover, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have dog sat two Vizsla dogs, a male and a female, and was responsible for their daily care, feeding, exercise, and supervision. I also cared for them while the female was in heat, which taught me the importance of being attentive, patient, and responsible in more demanding situations. I also helped in the delivery and care of the females six puppies. At 22 years old, I am dependable, caring, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I will treat your dog with the same love and attention I would give my own. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I’m available weekdays and weekends to love and care and play with your pups. Onboarding included. I live in a 1,000 square foot bottom floor apartment. There are a couple grassy areas for potty time and lots of long walking trails that my daughter and I like to venture on daily. I keep a clean and clutter free home as well and will follow whatever dietary plan you have for your canine friend.
“We found Nikol last minute and left our Daisy with her for about ten days. She has been so wonderful to our dog and loved on her so much, we’re so thankful for her and her family! Daisy loves being around kids and other dogs, so it was a bonus that she was able to play with them suturing her stay. Definitely recommend Nikol for boarding and other services. Thank you Nikol!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my parents dog ever since we got them, including my sister’s pet remi, she’s a sweetheart, I’ve fed and watered them and taken them outside, I’d play with them and occasionally take them out on a walk, my brother took out his dog and while I don’t have a dog, remi feels like my dog, so I took her out walks if we have time, I just love dogs and would take care of them if I have the chance too. I am currently working at stripes but need to find a better job soon, the job pays well, but the people are….uh nice? But sometimes they don’t really care about stuff sometimes, my trainer didn’t really train me so the manager had to, and plus, i can stay up all night, and wake up in the noon. Or go to sleep early and wake up early, so my schedule is okayish I have a apartment now instead of a home since my parents are getting divorced, so I’m staying with my mom, and our home is nice and safe and simple, we have a dog place where poeple can walk there dogs to, so they can poop and pee, plus, I take my dog there too, and I think remi needs a play date ever since my brothers dog died, so this will be nice for her too.
About: I was raised on a farm and a lifelong pet owner myself. I’ve watched pets for friends. And have given them my full attention and devotion! I have plenty of free time! I do not work at the moment now that school is out. My availability is extremely flexible! ☺️ ❤️ I have a dachshund named Josey and we go for walks daily, we also leash her and walk around the yard. I’d be happy to do the same for any pup coming our way.
About: I have years of experience personally, and professionally caring for dogs, from energetic puppies, to senior dogs. I love taking them for walks, giving them love and affection, and making them feel as comfortable as possible while their parents are away! I’ll love them like my own 😊 I can’t wait to become your pet’s next best friend! I’m currently working part time, only evenings Wednesday-Saturday. I usually work about 4 hours. So whether you need someone to check in on your pup while you’re at work during the day, or are going on vacation I can ensure your dog will get to play, get exercise, and get plenty of love while I’m with them! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I can do daily visits before 5:00 pm and if boarding/ sitting I'm never gone for more than four hours for work in the evening just a few days a week!

“I’m so glad I chose Brianna as our pet sitter! She takes excellent care of our cat and goes above & beyond to help—even took the trash bin out and checked the mail while we were away. She is very warm and friendly and truly loves animals. You can tell 😊. She replies promptly and is very trustworthy and reliable. Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was 8 and I started volunteering at our local veterinary clinic. I have cared for 3 litters of puppies and always owned 3 or more dogs. Ive had senior rescues that need constant medical attention and full bred spoiled ones so I’ve experienced it all. I like to keep my dogs on a good feeding schedule and love giving baths and taking on frequent walks. Ever since I was little I’ve been petsitting every dog I got the chance to and loved every minute of it. I don’t work weekends and only have morning class during the week. I have plenty of time to spend with the dogs and love taking them out places when the weather is nice. My schedule is pretty flexible. I have 4 dogs but only keep one in my apartment at a time so I have room for yours!! I rotate mine weekly. When they are not at my apartment they stay at my parents house. Here at my apartment I have a large kennel but the dogs just stay out in my bedroom even while I’m gone. They love napping on the bed and play in the living room all day long. We love going out to the dog park and getting pup cups. I take my dogs almost all places they are welcome.
“Michael was a great sitter! He agreed to watch my cat for a weekend trip. My husband ended up finding two baby kittens that we took in to foster. I reached out to Michael last minute to see if he could watch them as well, and he agreed . He kept me updated and was super friendly! I definitely recommend him and will definitely use him again as well!”

“Elizabeth is very attentive and passionate about taking care of animals! My dogs first experience at a doggy day care was spent with Elizabeth and it was such a positive experience. Highly recommend Elizabeth if you need someone to watch your furry friend :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Big, small, and many different breeds. I’ve trained my own dogs with positive reinforcement, raised puppies, and even fostered. I own a small local business which allows me a lot of flexibility on a day to day basis to care for pets in my home. I’m available weekdays, weekends, nights. I have a fenced yard, I offer crates if needed, and I have one friendly fur baby to keep yours company and offer a playful environment.
“Nikol was lovely. I needed someone to watch marmalade for a few hours and she was wonderful. She sent updates and pictures on how marmalade was doing and kept her happy and safe. I would 100% trust her with marmalade again.”

“Areli took great care of our high-energy Australian Shepherd. She provided a bunch of engaging enrichment activities for him and sent plenty of pictures and updates along the way. He came home happily tired out and ready for bed! Will definitely be using Areli's services again!”

“Nancy provided a very comfortable home for your animal to feel safe and secure while they are away from you! The backyard allows plenty of room for play and relaxing! We had great communication! Pickup and drop off are a breeze and she makes sure your dog is priority when welcoming them into the home around her precious pups! Couldn’t recommend more!!”
About: Twenty years ago I became a foster mom to a cat and my love for animals began. Since then I became the mother to fifteen stray cats, numerous chickens and even a tortoise decided to call me mom. But I never thought my heart could be so full until I became mom to three beautiful Australian Shepherds. They are my life! I speak fluent woof and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my dogs and yours. I was in education for sixteen years when I decided my life needed a little furry entertainment so I started a new chapter and turned my five year part time pet gig into a professional business called Tina’s Paw Prints. I started with drop in visits and expanded to boarding and doggy daycare in my home! So I will always be available for your pets! All dogs are free to roam my house and large backyard. If your pet sleeps in a crate then they’ll be in a crate at night, otherwise they’ll be free to sleep wherever they choose.

About: I’ve always known I loved animals ever since I was 8. I remember I would revive baby birds that have fallen out of nest, bottle feed kittens that have been neglected by their mom, and always being told no, when I wanted to bring a stray dog in….except for when it was a ferret. 😃 Fast forward, and now I am the proud owner of my beautiful girl Daphne Doo, and my two handsome cats Mew and (what a coincidence) …Rover. Daphne is 2 and is trained to catch, shake, sit, and lay. She loves long walks on the beach and the occasional visit to the Unidad dog park. Both Rover (age 6) and Mew (age 5) are trained to demand food, speak loud at night, and of course, knock things over. Mew used to be trained to walk on a leash until he became too lazy. Over the years of my childhood and having 3 pets I have come accustomed to giving medicine, grooming, cleaning vomit, giving baths, trimming nails, and of course, lots of cuddles. I occasionally dog sit for a few friends, they love it because it’s cheaper than kenneling at the vet. They know their fur baby can roam and not be locked up in a cage…..plus…I give free cuddles. I currently work full time at my Salon. I have full control of booking my own schedule. This way I can ensure not to overbook and make sure I’m home and available to care for your fur baby. I occasionally visit family on the weekends, so weekends might not always be available. All my animals are indoor, but at times they like to go outside. I have a 6ft fence with any possible escapes covered. I also have a Vivint camera for the front yard and backyard. This comes in handy in case I ever need to check on them during their short visit outside. As far as care for your pet, I am good with directions and appreciate specific directions and feeding information.

About: I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel loved and cared for at all times. I’m used to being patient, organized, and caring for others every day I currently work part-time as a teacher aide, so pet care fits perfectly into my schedule and helps fill my free time doing something I truly enjoy. I pay close attention to their needs, behavior, and routines to help them feel at home. In a client’s home, I would respect their rules and routines carefully to make sure their pets stay comfortable

About: I have always had dogs and cats in my home. I love dogs and as a child always wanted to help my mom feed the dogs and take them for walks. Your fur baby is my fur baby too! I am currently working part time, and have a flexible schedule that can fit most people’s needs. I am willing to work with any kind of schedule! Depending on your home, I will adapt to the environment. Any time your fur baby is outside, so will I! It is important that they are monitored to ensure their safety!
“Kelsey came in clutch at the very last minute when I really needed her. It makes my heart smile to know that my blue heeler was doing some reciprocal healing as well! Highly recommend. ♥️”
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, alpacas, emus, chickens, ferrets, bunnies, turkeys, ponies, cows, and much more for more than half of my life. I have always lived on an exotic farm where animals and their safety were our top priority. Moving here to San Angelo with my two fur babies has made me miss all of my babies back home. I am currently a students at ASU meaning that I am available morning, early afternoon, and late nights. I also work at the mall as a manager and I typically leave around 7-8pm I am not able to care for your babies in home because I have two pets of my own. However at your home I will be able to take care of your pets with respect, love, and safety. I will respect your personal items, never put your pets in any danger, and will follow all of your guidelines.
