About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was six years old, starting with my childhood dog. As an adult, I’ve had the joy of caring for my own pets, including three dogs, two rats, several fish, and even chickens. My experience goes beyond my own pets—I’ve also looked after animals for neighbors, family, and friends, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in giving every pet the best care possible. I'm currently working part-time as a Door Dasher and Uber Eats delivery driver. So I'll have plenty of time to play and attend to your pups at anytime of the day or night. I'm available for boarding your pets on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm. I live in a house on 10 acres of land so I have plenty of yard for your pups to run around. I also have 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. Also, if I need to kennel your dog, we do keep a large kennel in the house. We do allow the dogs on the furniture. We also have a bunch of dog toys and dog treats that we get from a monthly membership we pay for.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 10 years! I have had two family dogs and over 12 cats. I currently have two cats that live with me in college and they are my pride and joy. Growing up, I was the go-to girl for walking and taking care of dogs and cats as well as boarding. I have boarded big dogs to small dogs and all cats. I love to go on walks and spend time with animals to get to know them. I am currently a biology major at tarleton and planning to go to vet school in 2024. I have a huge passion for animals big and small. I am flexible and reliant and willing to whatever it takes to make you and your pet happy and satisfied. Thank you for taking the time to read and I hope to meet you soon:) I have a mostly open schedule, I work part time at HEB and I got to school fun time. Nonetheless, I always will make time for ur pets and am flexible. I am open to board on any day of the week. I’m my home, I currently have two cats who I make sure are treated the very best. They get lots of toys to play and cuddles throughout the day. With dogs, I will meet and exceed your requests for what is asked. And make sure your fur babies are in loving and caring hands:)
About: ***Updated 01/06/2025 I was born/raised with large dogs. I have experience from puppy-aged to senior dog-aged. I have 25+ years experience with equine/farm stock. I’ve been pet/farm/house-sitting for 13 years. Have puppy/dog training experience, including rescue/abused dogs. I’ve cared for multiple animals including, but not limited to: dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, pigs, chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, and cattle, rats, mice, and Guinea pigs. I am self-employed and work remotely, so I can arrange my schedule as needed for services. I can work anywhere I have wi-fi! I'm also able to leave the house spur-of-the-moment for last-minute bookings. I do have a cardiac alert & mobility assistance service dog, so if he's allowed to come house-sit with me, just let me know. If not, he will happily stay at home with my husband. If he's with me during drop-ins, he stays in the truck for everyone's safety, so no need to worry about that! I treat anyone’s pets better than my own to ensure top care! I am used to intricate feeding/medication schedules for all types of animals. My husband and I rent a house on a cattle ranch. We have a large fenced-in yard away from livestock and our horses. We have doggy gates throughout our home, so if dogs need to be separated during feeding, sleeping, etc. I am able to do that. I have dog crates available (large & small), if you don't want to bring your own. If I come to your home, I will follow any and all expectations and follow-up if something is unclear. I want my visits to be as close to what your pets are used to. I only board dogs from one household at a time, so you don't need to worry about your dogs being with any other dogs but our 2.

“Rachel was so wonderful with our cats while we were away. We really appreciated all the updates and communication. We had some unexpected maintenance work in our living room and she helped accommodate the kitties so they were comfortable and safe. We would love to work with Rachel again in the future.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 2 years and have three cats of my own, so I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers their space, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.
“Highly recommend Abigail! She was very responsive and respectful. Our girls really enjoyed their time with her. Abigail should be your first choice when caring for your pets. 😊👍🏻”
“Couldn’t be more pleased with Bethany’s care of my cats. First time to use Rover & it won’t be the last. She is reliable & honest. Cats liked her right away. Truly appreciate 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.”
About: I’m a cat owner myself, so I really understand how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your pets. I’m used to different personalities clingy, shy, playful, and everything in between and I know how much routine and comfort matter to them. I pay close attention to the details: feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleanliness, and keeping their space calm and consistent. I don’t mind the less glamorous parts either, like deep cleaning litter boxes and making sure everything stays tidy and fresh. I’m also patient with cats who need time to warm up and don’t push interaction—they come around when they’re ready. My goal is always to make your cat feel safe, relaxed, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.
About: I am a dog loving patient person who enjoys long walks. I have volunteered with the SPCA and have been around teacup Chihuahuas to big and active dogs such as Shepherds, Great Danes, and high energy Greyhounds and Catahoulas. I have owned and taken care of several big dogs most of my life to include: a Shepherd, Black Labs, a couple Dachshunds and a full-blooded Catahoula; so I understand the rigours of the exercise that they need. I am available almost anytime, except for the hours of church. Give me a shout and if you would prefer to meet me before entrusting your faithful companion or baby to my care, I would be happy to meet up with you and rover to see how we click.
About: I went to college to be a Vet and although I ended up in sales I definitely learned the basics on how to take care of your pet. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from energetic puppies who need structure and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. My background as a vet student also means you can trust me to be consistent, communicative, and professional. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! 🐾 I’m pivoting from sales into marketing and, while job-hunting, I love spending my time caring for dogs. With a flexible schedule, I can give your pup all the walks, playtime, and snuggles they need. 💕 follow your pet’s routine to keep them happy and stress-free—feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles included. 🐾 I’ll also keep things tidy and send photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. 💕

About: I’ve had all sorts of animals all my life! I absolutely love all furry creatures. Right now I have two small dogs, their names are Dolly and Bear. They are my whole world! I promise if you trust me with your furry friend I would treat him/her with the upmost respect and give them such great care. I work from home so I am able to spend 100% of my time caring and watching over your best friend. I love to snuggle, play and just hangout with all animals. I live on 18 acres so there is so much space for your furry friend to run and play! I always make sure they have fresh water out there. I make sure to always keep an eye on my animals at all times!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I make it a priority to help them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is doing well. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and needs, including puppies/kittens that require extra patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or additional attention and gentle care. I have experience handling feeding schedules, playtime, walks, crate routines, and helping reinforce basic training habits for younger pets. I’m also attentive to behavior changes and make safety my top priority at all times. My goal is to make sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and stress-free while giving you peace of mind. As a college student who works part time, pet care fits well into my routine because I’m used to managing my time responsibly and staying organized. I make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, playtime, and any needed routines throughout the day. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and my flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable and attentive care while balancing school and work. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes, give medications if needed, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. I also keep the home clean and secure while providing regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away. In my own home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I pay close attention to their behavior and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime for younger pets or gentle care and quiet space for senior animals. My experience in a veterinary clinic has also helped me stay attentive to pets’ health, safety, and overall wellbeing at all times.

“Norman seemed very content when I picked him up, no issues, he was in good spirits, this is a reflection that he was a good match for Cecilia and her family. We went home and had a yogurt cream cone, his favorite treat.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 14. I’ve always helped out neighbors, family and friends, and just about anyone who needs their pet cared for.

I have seen and dealt with it all! I genuinely love animals so taking care of pets is what I enjoy doing! If you are looking for someone you can trust to care for and love on your animal… I’m your girl! I work part-time and go to college but I am available most mornings and evenings as my classes fall from 11-3. I work either the morning shift or evening shift too, but I live 5 minutes from my work, so the commute isn’t a worry. I am very up front and honest with my availability and I am always willing to work with the customer. I do not have a fenced yard, but I love going on walks so your dog would be walked at least 6 times a day. I am able to comply with any instructions given to me from the pet owners as well. I understand everyone and every dog has different needs. I am able to crate your dog if needed and always double check that I lock all doors before leaving a pet owners house.

I have a fenced in back yard, and female Labrador that is very friendly with other dogs.

My dog enjoys playtime outside and fetching the frisbee, so I am skilled in playing with dogs and keeping them active.
About: I've had pets throughout my entire life - both cats and dogs. I currently have 5 dogs of my own. Recently, I led a dog rescue in South Korea and volunteered almost all of time for two years to saving dogs and cats there.

I will work to build trust with your pet and ensure I take care of them the way that you would so you can feel that your pets are in trusted, loving hands. For dog-walking, I will ensure I follow all instructions from you, the owner, to ensure we have a fun, safe walk!
