About: Animals are my absolute passion, and I treat every single pet I meet with care! I have two years of experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I get to spend my days providing loving care and treatment to dogs and cats. Through my work managing clinic kennels and overnight boarding, I’ve learned exactly how to keep our furry friends safe, and happy while their owners are away. I truly love all animals and am currently working toward my lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian. I am fully comfortable administering medications, providing fun, energetic walks, and making sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime. You can always trust that I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care while watching over your fur baby’s. I’m currently a college student with plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pets! I am available every day before 8:00 AM for early visits, free most afternoons and evenings, and fully open on weekends. I also have plenty of breaks between classes throughout the week for drop-ins. I can easily stop by up to three times a day, and I’m always happy to work around my class times to match your pet’s routine! I always like get to know the pet before hand so they can get familiar with me. I am happy to play and run around with dogs, or just relax and pet them. My goal is to have a comfortable and happy pet.

“Lauren did a great job taking care of our fur babies! I can tell they enjoyed their time with Lauren and that she loved watching them! She sent pics and communicated so well. We will definitely ask her to watch our girls again!”

About: I have loved dogs ever since I could remember, I feel like being able to trust your sitter is going to care for your beloved pet is so important, and that's the service I provide I am currently not working just a student so I have the time to take care of your pet, my schedule does vary depending on the week but I will always communicate and do my best to accommodate. I currently am unable to board any dogs at this time, but hopefully later on in the year this will change and I will be more available to board

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.

About: I adopted my cat, Stella, 2 years ago and she is my baby. I love cats and caring for animals. My house is suited for cats and I have personal experience with owning and working with them!

About: I grew up with cats and love them! I’ve pet sat many cats and cats of all types of personalities. I love both dogs and cats but understand that cats appreciate a much different and calmer energy that dogs typically do.

“Landry did great! She was on time and my girls loved her! Didn’t have any problems and absolutely recommend her!”

“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.”

“Patrick & Claudette were great. They have a beautiful home & fantastic back yard that Rosie & Frisco loved to run around in. They took good care of our fur babies so we didn’t have to worry about them while we were on our trip. Highly recommend them if you’re need of a pet sitter in this area!”

About: I’ve always lived with an animal and enjoy taking care and playing with pets. Growing up, I assisted with caretaking for our 3 dogs and I currently own a cat, Stella, who is my baby. I’m currently a grad student at Tarleton with mostly online classes so I have plenty of time to play and care for your pet! I only have classes on Monday and Tuesday and they only last 4 hours each so I have a flexible schedule! I have a sweet cat and we live in a tiny home right outside of Stephenville. I own plenty of cat and dog toys, and have access to a small fenced yard for dogs.

About: As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust. I have a Goldendoodle, two Poodles, and three cats, and I’ve been pet sitting for 2 years. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats and provide reliable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Caring for animals is something I do every day. Between my dogs and cats, I’m already used to feeding, exercising, playing with, and looking after pets. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they’re well cared for. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow their regular routine, provide fresh food and water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention to keep them happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away!

About: Your precious dogs will have lots of fun at our place seeing the sights and being walked on a leash all over the horse ranch. Seeing goats, steers, jack rabbits and having a large area to run and play are a big plus. We also have dog proof fenced in areas that they can have free time to play in also!! Lots of fun at Lugo Ranch! We look forward to meeting you and getting to know your pet and becoming your home away from home when our services are needed. We have other optional services such as crate training assistance, bathing, vet appt transportation, and various other services - if you're interested in anything like this don't hesitate to ask! We're happy to help!

“Hailey was amazing with our dog! She was easy to coordinate with and eager to take care of Luna. Hailey kept in touch and even sent pictures. We felt like our dog went on vacation at the same time we did. Hailey took her on walks and played with her. Hailey was a great find and we will definitely use her again!!”

About: Hi! My name is Alicia and I’ve been caring for animals professionally and personally for my whole life. I have 6 years of experience as a veterinary technician, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs—including giving medications, monitoring for health issues, and providing extra TLC when needed. At home, I have two wonderful dogs and a cat who keep life fun and full of love. I’ve also spent the last 3 years fostering pets, helping them feel safe and happy while they wait for their forever homes. I truly love animals and treat every pet I care for like one of my own. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, some playtime, or a cozy place to stay, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like family. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pets, and I’m here to provide peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time from 8 AM to 5 PM, but I’m available for early morning, evening, and weekend care. I’m happy to do drop-ins before and after work and can provide overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. With years of experience as a vet tech and a foster, I’m used to managing pet routines around a busy schedule—and I always make sure your pet gets the attention and love they deserve. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them in your home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and cuddles—because I know consistency is key to helping them feel at ease. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have three friendly dogs and a cat, and we have a fully fenced yard that gives everyone plenty of safe space to play and explore. I always supervise outdoor time and monitor interactions to ensure everyone gets along and feels secure. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs, including crating, separate feeding areas, or quiet spaces for shy pets. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and keep things clean and secure. I’ll send regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.
