If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and great with pets, I cannot recommend Jayden enough. 5 stars”

“Arshawna is a great sitter and Millie took to her easily. Millie is particular when it comes to people but Arshawna won her over right away. Millie has seperation anxiety and there was no sign of it when staying with Arshawna. She sent pics regularly and even a couple of videos of Millie. Millie even chose to sleep at the foot of Arshawna's bed. I am impressed how nuturing she is and how quickly she was able to make Millie feel at ease. Arshawna is the best.”

“Rowan & her family are amazing. It is clear how much they love animals & treat them like family. My dog loves getting to see her & play with her dog.

“Desiree is an awesome sitter! My dog is terrified of thunderstorms, and she took wonderful care of him during a weekend of intense storms. She sent me lots of pictures. I was nervous about how he would do with someone he didn’t know, but he fit right in and loved it!”

About: I have 3 german shepherd that I have taken care of since they were puppies. I love the way dogs can interact with people and the love they are willing to offer. I am able to do CPR on dogs if ever needed. I am compassionate and caring because thats all they need. Each dog may be different but they all share a common feeling which is wanting love and care. I connect with them fast. If there are any special needs as far as the walks or when coming to check on them let me know. It will be my great pleasure to play and walk your dog because it's what I love doing. As my heading describes, they are the only ones that can see your true heart.
“This was our first time with Lilianais, and she did not disappoint! She was punctual and courteous in communication with us about our kitties while we were away from home. Definitely recommend!”
“Angel was very sweet and understanding. I had gotten a bonus last minute and was able to fly home for Christmas but no one was willing to watch my kitty for me. She stepped up and made sure she was taken care of and even eased my worries of leaving my kitty alone for the first time. I definitely recommend her!”
“Robin is the best pet sitter/walker we have ever had. She is thoughtful and thorough and all our pets love her. She takes excellent pictures and we feel so much better when she checks in on our pets.”
“Tania did a wonderful job stopping in on the cats. She cleaned out litter boxes, gave them pets, administered eye drops, and played with them. She went above and beyond and it was much appreciated. Would definitely book again.”
“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. I especially appreciated how patient she was with Crowley, who is a rescue and still getting used to humans. By the end of the stay, she had earned his confidence, which says a lot about her calm and compassionate approach with animals. I felt comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands, and I will definitely consider booking her again in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Maya D. Is by far the best dog caretaker I have ever worked with. She truly loves helping animals and cares for mine so well. She handles medication and temperaments like a boss. When I had two male dogs that needed to be separated at all times and still be taken out and cared for she did not hesitate to help and not once was there contact or concerns. These are the best words that I have and they are still not enough! Thank you so much Maya.”

I'll definitely request her services again!”

I also take them on walks for their health and enjoyment and I give them baths on a regular basis, along with occasional check-ups with the veterinarian. I have a large fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I also have 2 crates at my house that guest dogs can use, one small and one large.

I am open to taking in dogs, depending on the breed and personality.

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.

I operate under a strict safety-first protocol tailored entirely to your home environment. Upon arrival, I perform a thorough security walk-through to ensure all perimeters, doors, and gates are locked and safe.Leveraging my extensive veterinary background, I expertly manage precise medication schedules, maintain clear client updates with photos, and closely monitor animal behavior to ensure a secure, stress-free experience."
About: I love all animals. I’ve both taken care of and owned all size, age, and breeds. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I am currently working from my home and are afforded the opportunity and flexibility to watch, care for, and/or board your pets at all times! 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: I have been in the veterinary setting since I was sixteen and I've been a veterinary technician for a couple years now! I am now focusing on the most important thing in life which is family and I would love to take care of your fur babies when you need it! I am a certified forehead kisser and a great conversationalist with the non-speaking, I do not discriminate on personality and/or breed. I am confident in my ability to make your fur baby feel comfortable in my presence and I can't wait to meet you! I am available early mornings to afternoons until about 3pm-5pm! (Open to longer days depending on your schedule) Weekend availability when needed. As of right now, I am not offering any overnight stays. Before taking care of your pet, I would love to meet them and also have you show me around your home and/or list out any specifications or requirements. (written out instructions are definitely a preference to have on hand!) If you feel comfortable having the pet at my home, I do live in a gated community with plenty of area for walks and outside time! My home is currently run by a cat named James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser (bonus points if you know who that is) and he could not care less about dogs so he'll just deliver the constant side eye. I am very comfortable administering medicine if needed (including injections) I do require some form of flea and tick prevention - whether that be Nexgard, Seresto collar, or essential oils.
“Apphia did a wonderful job! She communicated very well & offered or did things for my two fur babies that I didn’t even ask for. She was very intuitive & got to know their personalities, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend her :)”
About: Caring for dogs has always been something I enjoy. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every dog feel comfortable and happy. As a pet owner myself for the last 3 years, I understand how important routines, exercise, and affection are, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! You can expect plenty of updates and photos for a peace of mind. I offer walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding. I currently have open availability and am at home full-time! I’m currently available with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. I have a fenced yard and a friendly 3-year-old dog, Ace, to keep your pup company. I can easily separate dogs if needed and will always prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort.

“Arshawna is a great sitter and Millie took to her easily. Millie is particular when it comes to people but Arshawna won her over right away. Millie has seperation anxiety and there was no sign of it when staying with Arshawna. She sent pics regularly and even a couple of videos of Millie. Millie even chose to sleep at the foot of Arshawna's bed. I am impressed how nuturing she is and how quickly she was able to make Millie feel at ease. Arshawna is the best.”
“Rose was great! She kept me updated daily while she watched our Luna. Luna enjoyed her time with Rose and her dogs. Her other dogs were very friendly and Luna got to play to her heart's content. Highly recommend Rose for watching your pups! We'll be using her again in the future.”
“Rowan & her family are amazing. It is clear how much they love animals & treat them like family. My dog loves getting to see her & play with her dog. She takes great care of them (I think JoJo likes her better than me sometimes, lol). Finding a caregiver as competent & kind as Rowan is a rare thing that I value tremendously.”
“Desiree is an awesome sitter! My dog is terrified of thunderstorms, and she took wonderful care of him during a weekend of intense storms. She sent me lots of pictures. I was nervous about how he would do with someone he didn’t know, but he fit right in and loved it!”

“She was great and worked with me through last minute plan changes and the extension of my animals stay. She even made a trip to the store the get more food when they ran out. She sent pictures of my cats cuddling with her, from which I gathered she was really kind to them and they liked her. I cannot recommend her enough, she was truly the best.”
“I am always a little uneasy leaving my dog, but Angel will definitely be my go to. She took amazing care of Boddie! She kept me updated with pictures and text. Boddie had the best time with her. Thank you Angel for taking suck good care of him!!!”
“If you're looking for a sitter who will treat your dogs like family, Elle is the one. We booked her to watch our two pups, Remy and Nala, and from start to finish she went above and beyond in every way. She sent us thoughtful, detailed messages about how the dogs were doing, and reading them made being away so much easier. She told us about Remy going wild in the sprinklers with her kids (he got so excited it was hilarious) and how he played "ice cream man" in the playhouse. Even our more timid one, Nala, worked up the courage at her own pace to fit in throughout the week. Everyday they had a new adventure and I loved reading about it. Elle clearly has a gift with animals. She was communicative, warm, and so attentive to their personalities. We felt totally comfortable knowing they were in her care. We can't recommend Elle enough and will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you for loving our babies like your own!”
“Our regular boarding facility did not have availability last minute for our 2 dogs, so we contacted Ashley. She was able to schedule a meet and greet the next day and board them that weekend. She was great at sending pictures of our dogs during their stay. Ashley's did a great job caring for our dogs and I would recommend her to anyone looking for boarding service.”
