She sent plenty of updates and communicated very throughly. We will definitely use her again and recommend her with others.”
“Beverly has been so amazing and caring. Bailey def loved the stay and I loved to get pictures and videos each day.

So thankful for Beverly!!!”

“Olive stayed w/ Christina & her husband for 4 wks while we were out of the country and she LOVED IT! I received many pictures of Olive and updates. I trust Christina with my baby! I’ll definitely call on her again. Olive had lots of fun and was happy with her 2 dogs also! They are sweet people!”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Heather! She’s our go-to sitter whether we’re gone for the day or away for two weeks. We completely trust her with our precious fur baby, and it’s clear our dog feels right at home with her and her family. Thank you, Heather, for always keeping us updated with sweet pictures while we’re away. We’re so grateful for you! ❤️”
“Sarah responded quickly and concisely, was pleasant, and took great care of my dog. I almost felt bad taking the dog away from her 4 year old kid. Will book with Sarah again if she is available next time I need a dog sitter.”
About: I have been a dog lover since my first dog followed me home at the age of 6 (and he was a full size Doberman of all things). I currently have a German Shepherd, Pit bull Mix, Husky Mix, Chihuahua Mix and an Orange Tabby so I'm used to animals of all sizes and temperaments. My poor Pit Mix has allergies, my GSD has hip dysplasia and my Chihuahua has a heart condition, so I'm well versed in special needs! I do research constantly and spend lots of time talking to our vet about how I can make their lives, and mine, easier. I'd love to put all that knowledge to work for your fur babies! I know CPR for dogs and even keep a doggie first aid kit in my car! Just in case. I do my best to make sure my presence is felt as little as possible in your home but that your baby gets all the attention they need and deserve! I'm currently dog and cat grooming only on Fridays and Saturdays. So usually Sun-Thurs its just me and my pets living our best lives. I have a two acre property that we constantly explore and we love to go swimming at the nearby lake! I do my best to be as unintrusive as possible when in you're home! Letting me know their favorite toys and activities do make things easier for us to bond! I have a fully fenced in half acre with another acre and a half we can explore while leashed! There are cows, chickens and other animals on the farm next door so there's plenty of sights (and smells)!
“Jessica was amazing! She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. He was so happy and comfortable with her that I don’t think he even missed me! 😂🐾 I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 💕”
“I can’t recommend Destine enough! She took such amazing care of Penny and treated her like she was her own. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that Penny was happy, comfortable, and well loved. I was a little nervous leaving my cat, but she completely exceeded my expectations. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and currently own several, so I know exactly how to handle different personalities. I have experience with high-energy puppies who need patience and senior dogs who require extra gentle care and attention.

This leaves me with a very flexible schedule throughout the week to dedicate plenty of quality time and energy to your pets! I don't host pets in my own home, but I am more than happy to come to yours! I’m extremely respectful of other people's space and always make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment while you're away.

“I just wanted to take a moment to share how amazing Raul has been as Washington's cat sitter! While I've been away for work in Houston, Raul has gone above and beyond to make sure my cat is well taken care of. From regular updates to sending pictures of Washington looking happy and healthy, I can tell Raul truly cares. He’s reliable, attentive, and always makes sure to cater to Washington's unique needs. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that my bb is in such capable hands. I highly recommend Raul for anyone looking for a top notch sitter!”
About: I have had a dog or cat in my life for over 5 decades. My parents raised dogs and taught me early in life how to care for pets. My heart has always belonged to some sort of pet from rabbits, guinea pigs to dogs and cats. Big dogs, smaller dogs and everything in between. I have loved them all. I am confident in my love and ability to care for all pets and appreciate my time with them. I feel pets are an essential part of my every day life. I am a Doggie Mama to 3 Basset hounds and a Rat Terrier who thinks he is a Basset hound. Our life is really blessed and very good and we wouldn't change a thing.

About: Hey! My name is Stefanie and I have been taking care of animals for almost my entire life. I have experience with both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets for you. I hold myself to the same standards that I would expect from my own pet sitters. I can handle animals of all shapes and sizes, even your giant breeds! I have experience in the veterinary field and have cared for pets with all types of dietary restrictions, medical needs, and temperaments - so if your pet needs some special attention, I'm your gal! I have had dogs for almost my entire life. As a child my family had a Lhasa Apso, and he lived a long and happy life with us. I have had pets of my own since 2014, and all my pups are seniors now - they have a special place in my heart! I also have two sweet young cats and would love to check on your feline kiddos. I am a full time mother so I am readily available for drop in visits, overnights, and walks. Please note that my infant son will be with me during all visits. I will of course assume responsibility for my kiddo being safe around your pets, but please be mindful of your pets' temperament with children when booking! My ideal scenario when caring for your pets is to adopt their current routine - I find that keeps them the happiest while their people are away. I'm happy to visit on whatever schedule is best for you, and I'm happy to do overnights as needed.

Everyone needs someone special to take care of their loved pets. Let me help you take that worry off your shoulders. I can’t wait to meet your beautiful fur baby!! Let’s connect and have some fun with your pets. I work fully remote. This is great news because I can hang out with your fur babies as much as they’d like. Nothing beats a homebody loving on your fur babies. I love to love on your babies. There are many days spent playing fetch! I have a fenced environment perfect for time spent outdoors. You can trust me to treat your fur baby like my own.
About: Growing up I have always been an animal lover. At my house we have always had all types of animals dogs, cats, pigs etc etc. I am very good with all types of animals and I will treat your dog with the same amount of kindness and love you would treat your dog. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with a stranger especially in this day and age where people can be really scary and not trusty worthy- which is why if you trust me you won’t be let down! your fur baby will be in good hands :) I don’t think of it as a job it makes my heart happy knowing that i can help you ease your mind and help take one thing off your plate when traveling :) I currently work part time at the olive garden in longview but I pretty much am able to make my own schedules so i can be available whenever I am needed :) I live on property that is gated so your animal will not be able to run out. I have 4 other dogs that are very well behaved and love to meet and play with new animals however if that doesn’t fit for your dog i also do have secluded areas where they can be kept away from other dogs.
About: They will get a lot of love and they will see the joyful heart in there pet and they will see the difference in there behavior the only pet care I have had was my own and with friends and family most animals are like kids a little attention and a lot of love and getting their bellies full they usually are happy and content really not much more to say but they will be happy every one gets a long with everyone here and I will learn their ways and they will learn the do and the don'ts like I said before they are like kids they know good from bad they get a hold of a bad bay sitter they act out just like a kid would
About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.

“Julie is AWESOME! We were hesitant leaving our Belgian Mallinios/Border Collie mix with just anyone. Julie went above and beyond to have our pup feel at home and comfortable. She sent plenty of updates and communicated very throughly. We will definitely use her again and recommend her with others.”
“Beverly has been so amazing and caring. Bailey def loved the stay and I loved to get pictures and videos each day. It was such a relief knowing that she was in good hands and loved for while we were out of state. Would def recommend her and will def bring Bailey back if we need boarding again. So thankful for Beverly!!!”

“Bailee’s communication is phenomenal! She responds fairly quick and gave us constant picture updates of our fur baby’s progress. Ozzy seemed to have made himself at home and had fun there because he came back sleepy, which is good for us! :)”
“Olive stayed w/ Christina & her husband for 4 wks while we were out of the country and she LOVED IT! I received many pictures of Olive and updates. I trust Christina with my baby! I’ll definitely call on her again. Olive had lots of fun and was happy with her 2 dogs also! They are sweet people!”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about Heather! She’s our go-to sitter whether we’re gone for the day or away for two weeks. We completely trust her with our precious fur baby, and it’s clear our dog feels right at home with her and her family. Thank you, Heather, for always keeping us updated with sweet pictures while we’re away. We’re so grateful for you! ❤️”

“I can’t recommend Destine enough! She took such amazing care of Penny and treated her like she was her own. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that Penny was happy, comfortable, and well loved. I was a little nervous leaving my cat, but she completely exceeded my expectations. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”
“Susan was such a delight to work with. She sent updates, photos, and videos of our pups. She was always quick to reply and I felt that our pups were getting the best care while with her. I hate how some boarding facilities won't board them together so I was very happy that my pups were able to play together throughout the day and get lots of entertainment and fun activity with Susan. Will definitely book with her in the future.”
