You were a blessing!”

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 ❤️❤️”
“Elizabeth took such good care of my 2 kitties! I received regular updates including photos and videos. Missy and Winky are usually slow to warm up, but Elizabeth had them relaxed in no time. By the end of their stay, they were all best friends. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth to other pet parents.”

“Angela was a pleasure to speak to and she put our family at ease while our pup Ollie was in her care. Correspondence was great before his boarding and she sent plenty of videos and pictures during his 4 night stay. She wanted to know lots of details to make our pup's stay a smooth transition. She took him on walks and played with him a lot too. You can tell she really loves dogs and enjoyed his stay as much as he did! We undoubtedly will use her again and recommend her to anyone needing dog care.”
“Robin was amazing with my new puppy Teddy, He is only 9 weeks old, so I was really nervous leaving him. She made me feel so comfortable and took really good care of him while I was getting everything situated.

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!”

We decided that we wanted to start traveling again and we found Abbey close to the cruise ports of Galveston, we went down early for a meet and greet and then the next day dropped them off and they were totally comfortable with her. She sent multiple messages with pictures and gave daily updates which we were so happy to receive. We have already told her that the girls will be back for sure. Thank you Abbey for loving the girls!!”

About: I’ve had cats (feral barn and indoor) since I was a child so I have a lifetime of experience. I’ve also worked at a pet resort and handled all sorts of cats including diabetic and cranky ones that hate everyone but their owner so I’ve got a good amount of patience. I’ll take care of your pets like I’d want someone to take care of my two fur babies.
“Kathleen is amazing! She was warm and loving towards my babies. I felt so comfortable that she was taking great care of my boy while we were away. I loved how accessible she was and that she would send me pictures of my baby every day. This was my first experience using this app and I have been raving about it to all my friends with pets. I would highly recommend both Kathleen and Rover. To actually feel comfortable leaving my fur babies while on vacation is priceless.”
“Madeline was a great sitter. She watched my cat and rabbit for 3 days and was perfect! I told her all she needed to do was feed them but she went out of her way every single visit to sit on the floor with my babies and make them feel loved. The care she gave them was excellent I could not recommend her enough.”
“Sarah was a perfect pet sitter! She did drop in visits for our 2 cats and a bunny. She went above and beyond with the litter and took awesome photos that set our mind at ease! Will rebook for sure!”
“Talisa was amazing with my cats. She took such great care of them and from the pictures she sent it seems like they absolutely adore her! Great communication and always on time. Highly recommend!”
“Andrea did a wonderful job watching my babies while I was out of state for work. I have two kitties and require love and affection once a day to check in on them and ensure food and water is full and fresh. She also was able to help move my cats to my room when a sudden leak occurred causing maintenance needing to replace my whole tub while i was gone! 😅 Andrea was easy to reach and more than willing to help out!! Will definitely become a repeat customer!”
“Tessa thank you so much for always taking care of Benny. He loves you! We appreciate the updates and cutest pictures you send. For anyone reading this, 100% recommend Tessa. She is THE BEST.”
About: I know how stressful it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're part of my own family. I am a certified Vet Asst with a lifetime of pet experience. After years of caring for pets, I've learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels understood. I currently have 3 dogs and 8 cats, including a few fosters. Pet care is my full-time job, so I am available throughout the day. During each visit, your pet will get more than just the basics. They'll get attention, playtime, enrichment, and the care they're used to receiving at home. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away. I don't just see pets as another booking on my calendar. I see them as family members who deserve patience, attention, and care.
“Evan was fantastic! Super kind, detailed in her daily assessment of my cat, and left my place just as she found it. My cat really enjoyed his time with her as well!!! Super thankful for Evan!”
“Rena was great. Tucker my kitty just loved her. She is reliable and attentive to him and followed the instructions I left. When I met Rena, we talked cats and she is definitely a cat lover, Tucker could tell. I highly recommend her to watch over your fur babies. I will definitely call her again when I have to go out of town.”
About: i’ve had cats and dogs my whole life so i have plenty experience with both smaller and larger breeds. i currently have an australian shepherd/cattle dog mix, named Apollo. he is an epileptic baby so im also familiar with administering medications, not so much injectable medications though. i also have experience with guinea pigs and hamsters. all pets require love and patience. i’m currently working part-time and studying full-time. my schedules varies week to week but i am sure that we can work something out that fits both your pets needs as well as my own. i will care for you pet(s) however you need or request. i just ask that you give me detailed direction and guidance for what’s typical for your fur baby and any specialized care they may need.
“Elizabeth is wonderful. She took very care of my cat Grayson. He was timid at first but she was able to win him over a little bit. It's obvious by her care that she loves animals, especially cats! She kept me informed of her visits and sent pictures so I knew he was doing great. I will have her take care of Grayson again and I know I won't have to worry about him!”
About: Hi. Our first dog when I was 6, aLab. An Irish Setter joined the family about 7 years later. Since then more dogs and then during the last 5 years some casual cats. I do some driving for my two sons, school, work, and such but the rest of my days are mine. Early AMs not a problem and preferably not later than 10PM. I am currently only offering dog walking and check in visits. Mentally healthy dogs like me. I'm also pretty good connecting with not-so-mentally-healthy dogs. I'm pretty empathic.
“We love Katy! I have a special needs cat and she handled him with no problem (other than a little cat wrangling him from a few hiding spots!) She responded and communicated with us very well and I can't give enough stars. Thank you Katy!!!”
About: I have always had cats. I am very understanding of their character and can easily figure out what a cat needs or doesn’t. Cats I have owned have been leash trained by myself and have allowed me to cut their hair with clippers. So I understand the personality of each cat.
“Tanya has been excellent with my two cats while I'm away. I come home to clean litterboxes and full feed bowls and water fountains. She does a good job keeping me apprised of her daily visits, and has managed to send daily photos even of the one rather hyperactive cat who is seldom still enough to capture. I appreciate her attention to detail and will always give her first pick when I need care for my "girls".”

“Ariel was the best! Not only did she answer and accept my last minute request at 2:00 a.m. for the same day at 10:00 a.m. in MINUTES, when plans changed, and I asked for my 5 month old puppy to stay for an extra hour and a half, she was more than willing. She provided constant updates and photos throughout the day, and kept my boy entertained (he was exhausted that night- haha). She is truly a life saver. Thank you endlessly, Ariel. Truly!

About: I take care of other people’s pets like I would want someone to take care of my two fur babies! I’ve worked with cats, dogs, lizards, and exotic birds. I was a keeper at a wildlife ranch and have also worked at a pet resort so I have experience with a little bit of everything, and there’s nothing that can surprise me! I’m currently unemployed but applying for jobs, I love animals and have a passion for working with them so I will make time for the clients that need help. I have experience crating/kenneling cats and dogs and have worked with a diverse range of breeds as well so I understand needs look differently for every animal.

About: What sets me apart is the love and care I bring to every pet I look after. I’ve always had a special connection with dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and unique way of showing affection. From energetic pups who love long walks and playtime to older dogs who prefer a little extra patience and cuddles, I enjoy getting to know what makes each pet feel happy and comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy the little things—from a happy tail wag at the door to cozy cuddle time. My goal isn’t simply to “watch” your pet; it’s to make them feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, but I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays and have full availability on weekends.

Your pet’s happiness and comfort are important to me, and I’ll treat them like family while you’re away. I provide loving, respectful care in your home while keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s safety, and will keep you updated so you can feel confident they’re happy and well cared for.

I've been working in pet care for 20 years and owned and cared for dogs, cats, rats, chinchillas, reptiles, lizards, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, amphibians, and birds my whole life. I'm experienced and always happy to meet new pets! I am well disciplined, experienced, and motivated. I can't wait to meet your pet, I work full-time at UTMB during the week but am very flexible with my time. Let me know what you need and I will try to make it work. I own 3 cats and 2 dogs myself, and foster for Lifelines of Galveston County. I provide attentive and loving care, ensuring pets have fresh food, clean water, regular exercise, and affection.

About: I've taken care of 4 big dogs at the same time for more than a week and stayed the night. I still take care of them to this day. I have also taken care of cats and cleaned the litter box included. My last experience I've had was puppy sitting and I had up to 6 English bulldogs plus the parents I took care of. Took them to vet appointments as well. At this point no pet is too much for me! I do have a part time job as a preschool teacher, I work a normal Mon-Fri. I am available all Monday-Sunday. I do have my own transportation so if I stay the night while sitting I have a way to work and back. I always make sure to ask different question to guarantee safety for both the owner and the pet. I personally only have 3 cats and I live in an apartment so they are indoor cats. That's how I keep my babies safe.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was 8 years old and have cared for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, from small to large dogs, and I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs. My experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and responsive to animals, whether that means keeping up with an energetic dog, giving extra care to a shy pet, or maintaining a consistent routine. I truly enjoy being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m a full-time online college student, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and consistent care. As a single mom to a 9-month-old, I spend most of my time at home, so I’m already in a routine that supports being present, reliable, and responsive to pets’ needs throughout the day. Pet sitting and drop-ins align well with my lifestyle, allowing me to balance school, parenting, and caring for animals without conflicting with a traditional work schedule. I’m able to incorporate feeding, playtime, litter care, and companionship into my day while maintaining a calm and structured environment. This also gives me the opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy—caring for animals—while earning income in a way that fits my current responsibilities. I take the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet very seriously. I follow each client’s instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, litter care, medication if needed, and any specific care guidelines. I approach each pet with patience and respect, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect. I keep spaces clean and tidy, follow all house rules, and ensure doors, gates, and entry points are securely handled. I am mindful of security and privacy at all times, and I leave the home as I found it or better. My goal is to provide reliable, trustworthy care so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for and raising dogs for over 10 years, and I currently have a rescue poodle named Zeke who I’ve had for 3 years. He’s spoiled with homemade meals, gets two walks a day, and plenty of playtime chasing balls. I treat every dog I care for like family—because that’s what they are. My goal isn’t just to walk your dog, but to make sure they have fun, feel safe, and enjoy their time out. I’m attentive, experienced, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether your pup is high-energy or needs gentle care, I’ll tailor the experience to what they need most. Currently, I’m in between jobs, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule to care for your pup throughout the week. I’m available most days, mornings or evenings—just not Sundays, as I observe the day for church and rest. Your dog will always get my full attention when they’re with me! When I walk your dog, their safety and happiness are my top priorities. I use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid high-traffic areas, and pay close attention to each dog’s pace, energy level, and comfort. Whether it’s a slow sniff-around-the-block or a playful, active walk, I tailor the experience to your pup’s needs and treat them like family every step of the way.
About: With 21 years of military service, I bring a unique blend of commitment, discipline, and attention to detail to every aspect of my life. I grew up as part of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), where I gained extensive hands-on experience in raising pets. This foundation in animal care has shaped my practical approach to dog and cat husbandry. Currently, I maintain a diverse array of animals, including a black lab that I personally trained for duck hunting, a cat I’ve leash-trained to go on walks, a turtle, and a small-scale quail farm. My experience has taught me the importance of precision and organization, which I apply to managing my pets, ensuring everything is in top shape and that the animals receive the best care possible. I finish my workday in the early afternoon on weekdays, and I prioritize your pet during my free time. Your pet’s care will always be my top focus. I’m also available for early morning visits to accommodate your schedule. I treat our pets like family. Without children of our own, our 'fur babies' are everything to us. I care for every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give to my own pets.
About: I can take care of multiple pets from all sizes and ages! I will try my best to give them the best experiences and love! I do work long shifts with a slight inconsistent schedule. I'll do my best to find the right days for the services. It does not stop me in trying to get the opportunities to help those in such necessities! Puppy owners, I have kennels! I have three loving dogs that are friendly towards each other in all ages and sizes! I own medium size home with a good sizeable yard.
About: With a bustling household featuring two energetic dogs and four charming cats, my pet care experience is a delightful whirlwind of furry affection and joyful chaos. From the morning cuddle sessions to evening playtime antics, I’ve mastered the art of juggling the diverse needs and personalities of your furry family members. Whether it's administering medication with finesse or deciphering the nuanced purrs and barks that fill your home, you're a seasoned pet caregiver who approaches each day with boundless love and dedication. My home is a haven where tails wag and whiskers twitch, where every paw print tells a story of shared adventures and unconditional companionship. I currently work part time with most of my availability being in the afternoon but more than willing to working anything out in the mornings. I have open availability on Saturdays and Sundays! Caring for pets in a client's home involves several key elements to ensure their well-being and happiness: 1. **Feeding and Watering**: Provide regular, scheduled meals tailored to each pet's dietary needs. Ensure fresh water is always available. 2. **Exercise and Play**: Engage pets in stimulating activities and play sessions to keep them mentally and physically active. This might include walks, playtime with toys, or interactive games. 3. **Grooming**: Brushing, bathing (if necessary), and grooming pets to maintain their coat health and cleanliness. This also includes nail trimming, ear cleaning, and dental care. 4. **Medication Administration (if needed)**: Administer any medications as prescribed by a veterinarian, ensuring accurate dosage and timing. 5. **Litter Box Maintenance (for cats)**: Regularly clean and maintain litter boxes to ensure a hygienic environment for cats. 6. **Monitoring Health**: Keep an eye out for any signs of illness or discomfort and promptly notify the owner if any concerns arise. 7. **Safety and Security**: Ensure that the home environment is pet-proofed and free from hazards. This includes securing gates, removing toxic plants or substances, and ensuring fences are intact for outdoor areas. 8. **Affection and Attention**: Provide plenty of love, attention, and affection to the pets to keep them feeling secure and happy while their owners are away. 9. **Communication with Owners**: Maintain open and transparent communication with pet owners, providing updates on their pets' well-being and any notable behaviors or events. 10. **Emergency Preparedness**: Be prepared to handle any emergencies or unexpected situations that may arise, including having access to emergency vet care if needed. Overall, the goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment where pets feel loved and cared for in the absence of their owners.
“Alyssa is fantastic with our mini Aussie! He took a while to warm up, but Alyssa was so patient with him and took the time to let him get comfortable. She sent us tons of pics of him during their walk. Absolutely recommend Alyssa—she is wonderful!!!”
About: I’m 35 years old and I have always had pets. I have rescued many animals. I have rescued orphaned litters of kittens that had to be bottle feed every 2 hours. I have rescued puppies from very toxic homes. I have rescued lots of animals from very bad situations. I will care for your pets the same as I care for my own kids and pets! Does your fur baby have special needs? Do they need medications? Do you have multiple fur babies? Even better! A lot of people do not understand the stress our animals can go through we separated from their families. I want to make your furry family members as comfortable as possible when you can’t be there with them. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets!

“Abbey loved our girls and made them family while they were there. We have 2 sister Snorkies who are very spoiled and since Covid we have not left them with anyone. We decided that we wanted to start traveling again and we found Abbey close to the cruise ports of Galveston, we went down early for a meet and greet and then the next day dropped them off and they were totally comfortable with her. She sent multiple messages with pictures and gave daily updates which we were so happy to receive. We have already told her that the girls will be back for sure. Thank you Abbey for loving the girls!!”
