“Our dog had an amazing time boarding with this family. We had a lot of updated pictures, she loved playing with Winnie, and we could tell that she was super comfortable with Aislyn and Carson as she was always cuddling with them. We really appreciated them allowing her on furniture including bed. It was like she never left home. 😊 Thank you!”
“Haylie was great with our three little, energetic dogs. She was punctual and a great communicator. Haylie kept them busy, and sent photos. She checked in with questions and updates, and also kept them happy. They were smiling and enjoying their time, as you could see in the photos. I felt confident leaving the dogs with Haylie, and would certainly use her services again. Thank you!”

“Thank you so much for caring for Mabel while I had to travel out of town. I’m so happy she was with someone that loved and cared for her.

I’m really thankful for her and would definitely recommend as she treats each dog as her own. Me and Teddy will definitely see her again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since middle school, and absolutely love taking care of other people’s pets! I recently graduated and live in an apartment, so I don’t have pets of my own right now, so caring for others pets has been a great way to get my fix of hanging out with sweet animals. My childhood dog is a 15 year old greyhound-lab mix, and he lives with my grandma, so I love visiting him :) I also fostered a tabby while I was in college, and loved having a cat to take care of in school! I work full time remotely, so I can hang out at your place all day with your pets while you’re away. Happy to stay overnight or pop in for the day, as well as take them on walks, clean litter, or whatever is needed. I have a full time job, but it’s work from home, so my availability is entirely flexible! I can stay over at your place during the day while I work, and take frequent breaks to play w your pets, take dogs on walks, etc. At your home, I will make sure to follow all steps provided by the client to ensure their pet is getting the best care. Since the client knows best, I will follow their instructions first, but if the pet needs special attention, I will let the client know first to give them a heads up and ensure the pet is taken care of in a safe and timely manner. All pets will receive plenty of cuddles across the board, though :)
About: As a family very familiar with farms I've been around a multitude of animals from large livestock, goats to rabbits, cats and dogs from a very young age. I absolutely adore going above and beyond for your pet! Every animal I interact with is going to get the same premium treatment my pets do. I worked in a vet office as a veterinary technical assistant during my senior year as well. I am currently a student going to Texas A&M Galveston for my Bachelor's and Masters degrees, I plan to go fly planes into hurricanes for data collection! I have classes late into the day Tuesday and Wednesdays but besides that I am very available for early mornings before 10 and afternoons after 130! weekends are on a case by case basis. I live in a dorm but am more than happy to take your fur baby to the park or stay in your home and the safe environment they know!
“I had such a great experience with my Skylar! She took amazing care of my pup while I was away and made me feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much and helped me relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid attention to all the little details. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”

Taking care of them every day has given me tons of experience with all kinds of personalities, routines, and special needs.

I make sure every pet is well looked after, loved, and secure while their owners are away

About: I have taken care of many cats in my animal sitting career and have one myself. My cat suffers from anxiety and needs special attention so I have experience in that area.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with a family dog, so caring for pets has always been part of my daily life. Throughout high school, I also worked at a boarding kennel where I gained hands-on experience caring for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities of dogs. During that time I helped with feeding schedules, cleaning, administering basic care, and making sure every dog got the attention and exercise they needed. Whether your dog needs walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, my goal is to make them feel comfortable and keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I manage an Airbnb property and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and plenty of attention. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or their own home. In both environments, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I grew up caring for my own cats and dogs and have also enjoyed being entrusted to care for the fur babies of others when they're unable to. This has included general companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, and administering topical and oral medications. Currently, I'm earning certifications in animal care, health, behavior, and wellness (including CPR and treatment of minor injuries) to be able to provide the best care possible! Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors to take into consideration. My goal is to keep them happy and safe.
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and fish since I was young. I also have previous veterinary and emergency veterinary assistant experience. I’m an experienced aquarist, plant and garden caregiver, and have hand-raised baby birds. I adore guinea pigs, chickens, lizards too so no worries if you have multiple pets. I take great care of them all!
About: I’ve had cats since I was a little girl. They are actually more striking to me than dogs! They’re so sweet and can be shy, but I love getting to know their individual personalities!! I’m looking forward to providing excellent service that comforts you as your spend your time taking on life!

About: Growing up, my home was filled with animals of all kinds from small to large dogs including Dachshund, Husky, and medium to large mixed breed dogs, as well as an outdoor cat, fish, hermit crabs, lizards, and birds. I have been a lifelong animal caretaker and feel very comfortable with a wide range of species and temperaments. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my cockatiel who lived to be over 14 1/2 years old under my care. In my teens, I also trained in horseback riding and learned foundational horse care. With dogs, I have experience in structured obedience training up to the intermediate level as well as introducing agility based skills and enrichment work. Currently, I provide consistent care for a senior 19 year old dog in my home alongside a younger high energy Dachshund. This has given me ongoing real world experience balancing senior comfort care with active dogs in a calm and stable home environment. My approach is calm, attentive, and highly individualized. I prioritize each pet’s emotional state, routine stability, and safety with an emphasis on low stress handling and clear communication. My goal is to provide care that feels grounded, consistent, and deeply trustworthy so you can feel fully at ease while you are away. I appreciate detailed information about each pet’s routine, preferences, and behavioral tendencies. This includes separation anxiety, reactivity including leash or sound, fear responses, or any sensitivities. These details allow me to provide the highest level of tailored care. Rates listed are general starting estimates and may vary depending on level of care required, number of pets, schedule, and travel distance. Premium or extended care needs including last minute bookings, extended radius travel, or continuous supervision up to about 8 hours can be accommodated and quoted based on your specific situation. My current schedule is pretty flexible. For drop-ins I'm typically available after 8 am until 9 pm in the evenings. I can do drop ins, walks, and/or doggy day/night sitting. I am happy to give your animals my undivided attention as I walk them or play with them at your residence. I'm very clean, considerate, and attuned to animals. I stay highly communicative and am happy to take lots of photos for updates.

I have worked with many trainers (classes and private) and feel confident in my dog training skills. I am informed on dog behaviors and signals. I care deeply about making sure a dog is comfortable and happy! I am currently in school where I have class for half a day, Monday - Thursday. This means I home quite a bit. My boyfriend is also in school, and he has close to an opposite schedule where he is gone in the afternoons but home in the morning. Our dog is rarely left for more than 2 hours by herself. We have a fenced in backyard. We have a golden retriever and super friendly cat to keep furbabies company. Both of them are good with other cats and dogs. We have plenty of dog toys, balls, ropes, frisbees, anything you could imagine. Our animals are welcome on our furniture with us, so lots of time for snuggles.

Our pets are just one part of our lives, but we are their whole lives, and I believe that is a gift, and means that taking care of pets is an honor. I grew up with dogs, cats, and even the occasional snake or two, and am familiar with animals at every stage of life. I am also used to a wide variety of energy levels and sizes, and have cared for small dogs, big dogs, house hippos, and tiny tornadoes (I also recognize that sometimes tiny tornadoes come in cat-form). I am very comfortable walking and playing with large, energetic dogs, and can provide them all the stimulation and engagement that they need. I am also familiar with the unique needs of cats, and have never had a period in my life when I did not have at least one cat as a pet. I am completely at ease with litter box care, playtime, and snuggle time. I am also very comfortable caring for geriatric animals, and animals that require medication. Throughout my life, I have cared for many pets, both cats and dogs, at the end of their lives, and even currently have a 20+ year old cat that requires some extra attention. I understand that older animals are special cases, and they deserve all the attention and care we can give them in their twilight years. I will care for your animals like my own, and will love the opportunity to make a new furry friend! I am currently an adjunct professor, and I have my own archaeological nonprofit, but this means my schedule is mostly up to me. This gives me ample time to spend with your pets, as well as flexibility to fit into your schedule. I will care for your animals in your home according to their routine and your expectations. I understand how important routine is, and how important environment is for pets to feel safe and secure.
About: Hey Y’all! As a full time student in Galveston, work is hard to find but I would love the opportunity to care for your dog(s) while you are out of town enjoying summer! I have open availability just let me know what days you need help and I’ll be there! I am a full time physical therapy student. Pet care fits in my schedule when I am not in class. I have set my pricing to accommodate the various needs of owners. 30 minute walks/drop ins are priced at $20 an hour. This includes feeding/watering your pet if needed! This option is best if your pet can handle being home by themselves but still needs a few check-ins throughout your time away for feeding and potty breaks. (I have had previous clients do one morning and one night drop in, i have had clients do morning, after school, and night visits, and i have had clients request i visit their house every 4-5 hours- this gives you autonomy in how often you want your pets to be visited and the time frames in which i visit!) Overnight stays are priced at $100 per 24 hours. This price was determined based on my drop in price. When staying in your home, I will be providing your pet with ample attention to include 3-5 walks per day ($20x5). This pricing allows flexibility for those who want their pet to have my undivided attention while they are away, or for those who only need the necessities covered to still pay a reasonable price for their care needs. I am open to negotiation for non-busy weekdays/weekends but I do also have to value my time and effort! When I care for a pet in their home, I like to be consistent as possible with how their owner treats them. The pet is in the comfort of their own home, so they should be allowed to be comfortable and do the things they usually do. This involves talking with the owner about what is allowed (can dogs be on the couch, do dogs sleep in the bed) and what does the dog like to do for fun (bath time, fetch, walks, being petted).
About: I grew up caring for my own cats and dogs and have also enjoyed being entrusted to care for the fur babies of others when they’re unable to. This has included general companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, and administering oral medications. I have experience with breeds of all sizes and ages, but do especially well with smaller breeds. Currently, I’m earning certifications in animal care, health, behavior, and wellness (including CPR and treatment of minor injuries) to be able to provide the best care possible! A work-from-home schedule affords me the flexibility to attend to your pet care needs. You can contact me in advance to inquire about availability and schedule services. A free 15-minute meet & greet is required for first-time clients. I prefer to care for pets in the client’s home; however, if a visit to my home is necessary for periods of time longer than an hour, it is recommended that the client provide materials like food, leash, toys, pet bed, and a carrier/crate, if used.
About: I have taken care and helped rehabilitate animals since I was young. My mom and I have helped kittens we rescued find homes and also may have kept a few haha. I love animals of all sorts, I have a cat, a bunny, and my brother’s dog we care for as he is out of state. I promise you your pets will be cared for and you can rely on me. I am a senior at PNG High School trying to make extra money before college. Aside from school I have a part time job so my schedule varies but is also flexible. I am willing to do what ever is asked of me, whether it’s take your pets on a short walk or take them to a park my car is big enough for animals to ride in. While you’re away you wouldn’t have to stress because your pets will be in great hands.
“Meghan was genuinely excited to interact with my dog, which was reassuring to see. My dog was very comfortable around her and she enjoyed her walk. I will definitely hire Meghan again to walk my dog.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a cat, so caring for animals has always been a part of my daily routine.

I pay attention to their behavior and needs so I can keep them happy and comfortable. I truly enjoy being around animals and treating them like my own.

Monday – Friday: Open availability Weekends: Open / depends on dates Flexible with times and short notice bookings Open to mornings, afternoons, evenings, and occasional weekends depending on needs and scheduling availability. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routine feeding them on time, going on walks, playing with them, and giving them plenty of attention. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and not stressed while you’re away. I pay attention to their behavior and needs so I can adjust and make them feel at ease. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I try to keep things calm and familiar so they feel right at home. I treat every pet like my own and genuinely enjoy making sure they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve been the primary caregiver for my own dog for 11 years, handling daily walks, feeding, grooming, medications, and vet visits. I’ve also cared for family members’ and friends dogs with a variety of needs, ages, and personalities. In addition, I’m an active member of Texas A&M LEIAS, a women’s organization founded on leadership, academics, and service with a strong focus on animal rescue. This involvement has strengthened my sense of responsibility, patience, and commitment to providing attentive, compassionate pet care. As a college student, I’m very organized with my time, and pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around classes to ensure pets receive consistent walks, feedings, playtime, and attention. I’m committed to maintaining each pet’s normal routine and can be flexible to accommodate specific needs, whether that’s daily check-ins, extended care, or overnight stays. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep pets secure, and monitor behavior and health closely. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I strive to create a calm, structured, and loving environment. My involvement in LEIAS and animal rescue–focused service has reinforced the importance of accountability, compassion, and treating every pet with the same care I’d want for my own.
About: I have a flexible schedule and genuinely love spending my time around sweet dogs and other animals! I already enjoy going on walks, so I’d love to have your pup along for some company. Whether they love playing fetch, getting belly rubs, exploring on a walk, or going for a light jog, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I have experience overnight sitting for both big and small dogs and am comfortable with feeding, fresh water, medications, and following any special instructions you leave for me. I know every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll make sure yours gets plenty of attention, affection, and care while they’re with me. I’m also a cat lover, so I’m happy to help with cat sitting and drop-ins too! 🐾 I’m flexible, attentive, and quick to respond, so feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I am a student with no other priorities! I would love to develop a consistent and personal routine you and your pet can rely on! Safety and secured animals and property are extremely important to my service to you as a pet sitter. I will make sure you and your pet feel safe and secured when I come to assist you guys!

“Our boy loved going to Jennifers!! While he was there we got daily updates and pictures. He came home very well taken care of and very calm. We will be repeat clients for sure!”
“Our dog had an amazing time boarding with this family. We had a lot of updated pictures, she loved playing with Winnie, and we could tell that she was super comfortable with Aislyn and Carson as she was always cuddling with them. We really appreciated them allowing her on furniture including bed. It was like she never left home. 😊 Thank you!”
“Haylie was great with our three little, energetic dogs. She was punctual and a great communicator. Haylie kept them busy, and sent photos. She checked in with questions and updates, and also kept them happy. They were smiling and enjoying their time, as you could see in the photos. I felt confident leaving the dogs with Haylie, and would certainly use her services again. Thank you!”
“Max got attached to Ms Heather during his stay, which is exactly what we hoped to see. He was happy to be home but in great spirits. So nice to have a safe and friendly environment to leave him in while out of town.”
About: As a family very familiar with farms I've been around a multitude of animals from large livestock, goats to rabbits, cats and dogs from a very young age. I absolutely adore going above and beyond for your pet! Every animal I interact with is going to get the same premium treatment my pets do. I worked in a vet office as a veterinary technical assistant during my senior year as well. I am currently a student going to Texas A&M Galveston for my Bachelor's and Masters degrees, I plan to go fly planes into hurricanes for data collection! I have classes late into the day Tuesday and Wednesdays but besides that I am very available for early mornings before 10 and afternoons after 130! weekends are on a case by case basis. I live in a dorm but am more than happy to take your fur baby to the park or stay in your home and the safe environment they know!
“I had such a great experience with my Skylar! She took amazing care of my pup while I was away and made me feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much and helped me relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid attention to all the little details. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”
About: Available most days. Currently have a part time job typically with mid day hours. I’m available to do walks, stop in visits, and possibly boarding and doggy day care. Please let me know any special accommodations/requests your little ones need. Right now I work part time. I have availability throughout my work days, and I'm very available in the evenings. I accept cats as well. So just let me know if there’s a specific time you need me, and I will try and work it out. I can bring your pet into my home, I am in a small condo. I do not have any pets of my own. I don’t have a fenced in yard but can take nice walks or drive to the park.
“Miguel was very friendly and took care of my doggy like if he were his own. Located was very convenient, just a couple blocks from the beach. I will definitely consider him next time I am in town”
“She was so good with my boy!! My dog is a lil toot but she had no problem catering to his special perks! She frequently sent me pictures and updates which made me feel 10x better being miles away! My dog felt very comfortable and safe at her house and he was always was able to exert his puppy energy! Highly recommended her as a reliable sitter ❤️❤️”
“Flor was awesome! Very accommodating, well communicated and very patient when it came to my dogs needs. Will definitely book with her again when we’re back in town.”
“We appreciated having updates on our Mavs. All the videos and pictures gave us peace and assurance that our little guy was being loved and cared for. We will continue to have Elizabeth watch our pup.”

“Abby had great communication and sent me daily updates of our pups while I was out of time! Thank you for taking care of Paisley and Moose aka my monster (he’s sweet, but a high energy chocolate lab that can be a lot sometimes, especially if he thinks he can get away with murder 🙄).”
“Mia was very flexible and took care of my two animals, treating them as royalty. I had to extend my request a bit longer and she was able to accommodate. Received multiple updates during their stay as well as pictures, so I could definitely tell they were in great hands. Hands down, one of the best pet sitters I have dealt with since using this platform. THANK YOU, Mia B!!!”
“Angelo is a wonderful Pet Sitter (from a human perspective). He is communicative with daily pictures and very responsive to questions. His home, yard, and set up are perfect for pets. He follows all of your requests even when you forget to send the brush. He doesn't take too many pets at once. He doesn't force them into cages. My dog came home happy and tired, which is a good thing because she was active. I only wish pets could speak and tell us about their experience! Angelo sends a sweet note and homemade treats home with the dog too! I will definitely go back to Angelo.”
“Was amazing! My dog was extremely comfortable at Michelle’s and looked very happy! Received photos the entire time, she even put a little Fourth of July hat on him that is my new wallpaper. Very responsive 👍 Would definitely booked with her again.”
