“Our dog had a health flair up right before her vacation at Kristina’s and Kristina took such great care of her while we were gone. We could see how happy our dog was when Kristina sent us daily updates. We are so happy to have found Kristina. We will definitely book with her again.”

“Sherron took such amazing care of our sweet pup! She gave nice updates that made us feel great about how she was doing and allowed us to have a stress free trip knowing she was in great hands! We felt like Nala was treated as one of her own and taken on walks and given scratchies and lots of love/attention! We would highly recommend Sherron as a safe place for your fur babies to stay!!”

“Again Melissa and her family took great care of my Oldman Dublin. I never have to worry about him and she always keeps me updated with photos. He loves spending time at their place.”

“As usual, very responsive. Billy was able to accommodate Bree for an extra week when we were stuck outside the country due to flight cancellations caused by Iran war. Very thankful for such an amazing experience.”

“Lynn and family loved on my out of practice/un-social girl and she came home actually wanting more interaction with more pups! We’re a fan and she’ll be a regular to come and enjoy some time away from home and have some interaction with other pups and humans to enjoy her need for socialization. Thank you for letting her warm up to the thought of being part of another pack for the week!”

“We loved Nia!! She sent us so many updates and pictures , and took amazing care of our dog! I highly recommend her and will use her in the future for sure! She was so cute with our dog and took him on many walks. Thank you!!”

“Jose and Danny were wonderful with Waco! They took great care of him over the weekend and kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. Waco seemed very happy and comfortable with them. They were both kind, attentive, and clearly love dogs. We would definitely trust Jose and Danny with Waco again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring and reliable pet sitters!”

“Our 2 girls had a great time at Manny’s for boarding. Manny was professional from our first meeting and was well organized and answered all of our questions. During the stay, Manny sent us daily updates proactively with pictures, which gave us peace of mind that the girls were doing good. He also took care of my dog’s eye drops daily with no issues, which was a relief. Looking forward to our next booking!”

“I’ve left my dog with Chaiochih multiple times, and I’ve always had a wonderful experience. She is reliable, caring, and takes great care of my dog. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her, knowing she is in good hands. It’s clear that Chaiochih genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and I really appreciate the attention and care she provides. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter!”

“Courtney and her family were really awesome with Caramel while I was traveling for the weekend. They provided her lots of cuddles and hugs. Courtney shared some photos of Caramel over the weekend and that was nice to see my pup happy and well-adjusted. Caramel ran around the backyard with their golden retriever, and she even got to use the kiddie pool in the backyard. When I picked up Caramel, everything was gathered together and she got a treat bag to take home! I would definitely book with Courtney again in the future!”

“Our dog, Baxter, enjoyed his day of play at Susan’s house. The setup was great, wonderful large backyard. Baxter is one of those guys that just doesn’t like going to a kennel (shakes like a leaf). We felt completely comfortable leaving him and have already booked additional stays. Thanks, Susan for taking great care of him.”

“Guiselle and her family took great care of Simba. Communication was excellent and I received regular updates and photos. Simba came home happy. I highly recommend Guiselle and will definitely book with her again.”

“I would highly recommend Swetha, she was professional and gave us frequent updates on how our dog was doing. It was a relief to see how well adjusted our dog was at her place with the whole family.”

“April is an amazing sitter! Teddy had so much fun staying with her and her family. They took care of him like their own. She sent plenty of pictures. I could tell Teddy did not want to leave when I picked him up. I would definitely use April for my future pet sitting needs!”

“Royce is truly a gem. She is so kind with my cats and was kind enough to wash dishes in the sink despite that not at all being her responsibility. She is just vsry thoughtful. Thank you so much for being the best to my furbabies!”

“Kristen did such an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were away. Our plans changed slightly and she was very accommodating and responsive to help however needed, which we appreciated so much. Will use her anytime we can and highly recommend, thank you!”

“I have large guardian breeds, and finding someone I trust with them isn't something I take lightly. Kate has consistently exceeded every expectation. She's calm, confident, responsible, and has a natural ability to connect with dogs that can be intimidating to most people. What truly sets her apart is her proactive communication. I never have to wonder how things are going because she's already sent an update, photo, or thoughtful note before the question even crosses my mind. She treats communication the same way she treats pet care—with attention, professionalism, and genuine care. Kate has that rare combination of reliability and intuition. She notices the little things, anticipates needs, and makes both pets and owners feel completely at ease. Whether it's managing routines, handling strong personalities, or simply showing up consistently and dependably, she does it all with grace. My dogs don't hand out trust easily, and neither do I. Kate earned both. If Rover had a Hall of Fame, she'd be in it.”

“With Tristen, all relief that my little’s were safe and sound and attended to meant the world to me. I was free to be the mother of the groom and focused on my son, his bride and the different events in their ceremonially weekend 💗 Thank you Tristen, and for the photos too.”
“Errin has taken care of our house and pets several times and is friendly, responsible, and loving to our animals! She always sends pictures and takes her time while she’s visiting with them. I can relax and not worry about them when I know Errin is coming!”

I use a calendar so you will never have to worry about me forgetting to take care of your baby's I will always follow owner instructions ,I will keep in contact with them. I am going to school to be a vet assistant that will help in emergency situations.
“Marina was fantastic with our crew of five cats! She was incredibly communicative throughout the sit, sending regular updates with photos that put our minds at ease every day. She gave all the kitties their regular outside cube time and even kept our fish thriving. What really stood out was how she won over our most particular cat, which is not an easy feat and speaks to her patience and genuine care. We’d trust Marina with our cats (and fish!) again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”

“Chelsey is amazing. She is kind, professional, and our dog Maggie loved her immediately. Chelsey took the time to get to know our dog, her play and food habits, and she makes sure Maggie is loved for the entire visit. My fiance and I loved meeting Chelsey so we booked weekly recurring visits to help Maggie have more fun when we are at work.”


“Billy was great with our two cats! We live more in the country, and he took the time to come see our house setup before we left. He was very understanding when a few issues arose from our end, and he provided great updates during his visits. We would definitely use him again!”


About: As a cat mom of two, I have hands-on experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and of course giving plenty of attention and cuddles when they want them. I also understand that some cats need their own space and time to feel comfortable with a new person. I’ll always follow your cat’s routine and your instructions to help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. If your cat becomes sick or needs medical attention, I’m also willing to take them to the vet when needed and with your permission.
About: As a dedicated animal lover, I stand out with my deep understanding of canine/human interaction, and I offer personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. I am an expert handler of various breeds, administering medication, and creating a stress-free environment for your pet. With a genuine love for dogs and a knack for anticipating their needs, I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I have two dogs of my own, Rocky, a 5.5 yr old Belgian Malinois, and Lola, a 3 yr old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Your pet will have all of the fun they can handle and will leave with 3 new best friends! I work from home 5 days a week and have incredible flexibility. I am home most of the of the time and when I am not, I am usually not too far away for too long. I can provide breaks and all the attention your pet needs almost anytime needed. I have 2 dogs to help keep your pups happy. Lola is the friendliest girl with lots of energy and an unrelenting desire to make new friends everywhere she goes. Rocky, is a retired police k9 who has the perfect balance of energy and calmness to welcome any new pup into our home. I routinely let them outside to play and use the restroom at a minimum of once every 2 hours. My pets are allowed anywhere in the house. It is two stories with multiple rooms so there are always places for them to have space if they need it. There are plenty of beds, toys, and friends to play with while they are here! I do have two large kennels that I never use, but if your pet prefers to sleep in a kennel in its own space, I am happy to provide that for them. Otherwise, they will be free to relax wherever they would like.

About: First and foremost, I’m a huge cat lover and animal advocate! Cats have always held a special place in my heart, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and comfort level. I have over 10 years of experience as a Veterinary Technician and 5 years of experience as an Animal Control Officer, giving me extensive experience caring for and safely handling cats in many different situations. I’m experienced with medication administration, senior and special-needs cats, monitoring changes in behavior or health, and working with shy, fearful, or difficult-to-handle cats. I know that some cats need lots of attention and affection, while others prefer to have their space and come to you on their own terms. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll provide loving, patient, and knowledgeable care—and give you peace of mind knowing your feline family member is in experienced hands. 🐾❤️ I’d love the opportunity to spoil your kitty while you’re away!
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life, growing up in a home full of pets, which sparked my passion for caring for them. I spent four years working in the veterinary field, gaining hands-on experience and deepening my love for animal care. During that time, I worked as a kennel technician for two years and as a veterinary technician assistant for another two years, providing attentive, compassionate care to pets of all shapes and sizes. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which gives me plenty of free time during the week to dedicate to pet care. I’m able to provide consistent attention, companionship, and care for pets on a regular basis, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I have a friendly 7-year-old dog who loves companionship and playtime! I also have a huge fenced yard, perfect for pets to safely run and enjoy the outdoors.

About: I have professional veterinary technician experience, giving me a strong understanding of animal care, behavior, and medication administration. I also have previous experience caring for households with multiple cats, including cats that require daily oral medications. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications reliably, and providing attentive, individualized care to each pet.

“Billy was great with our dog. Was awesome with updating us how he was doing during his stay. we appreciate him being an amazing sitter for our baby! And also not to mention going beyond with caring for Dolemite. We will definitely be going back to him when we come back through Texas. Love Billy and also Dolemite made a life time friend with Billy”

“Tristan is fantastic! She is attentive and always supervising. She provided me great feedback on how my pup was doing. She has even taught me about dog body language and communication through the videos she sent. I highly recommend Tristan!”


“Nicole was very good. Our girls had fun as we saw from the pictures and videos. Very much appreciated the last minute accomodations! We would definitely use Nicole again!”


About: You’re looking at a resident family dog sitter 🫡 and we now have the space to help others! For years, I’ve been the default in helping watch family and friend’s animals. I am so excited to now have lots of space since we’ve always had lots of love to give! I work full time from home, so our mornings are pretty slow around here. Once my littles are up for the day, my two dogs (Mabel & Daisy - Brittany Spaniels) go for their morning “run” where I let them out on the main property to get some energy out and good sniffing in. Once my kids are at school for the day, the dogs come in as the heat kicks up. The doggy door stays open all day for them to come in and out as needed (except when weather does not allow). By evening time, we let them out on the main property for a second run of the day. Our girls are kennel trained and head to bed when we do! Other than that, we play when we can during my work breaks or when they bring me a ball to toss around! My property is fully fenced in. We have a gate that stays closed unless we are coming and going. Our backyard has a front section where there is a big shady part, and a fenced pool. The back section of the backyard is more open with lots more room to run. If it’s too hot or raining I will close up the doggy door for my girls. Food and water also stay inside for them!
About: Hi! I’m Ashley, the owner and head trainer at Ashley’s K9 Training. Dogs are truly my life and passion. I run a home-based training and boarding small business on our property in Bertram, Texas. I specialize in behavior modification, obedience, puppy development, and service dog training, so caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs is something I do every single day. Dogs staying with me aren’t just kenneled and rotated like traditional boarding facilities. They’re part of a home environment where they receive enrichment, outdoor time, supervised safe play (when appropriate), and plenty of attention throughout the day. I focus heavily on safe, calm energy and good manners so dogs feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy while they’re here. I’ve worked with everything from young puppies to reactive dogs, high-drive working breeds, and service dog prospects. Because of my training background, I’m also very comfortable managing dogs that need a little extra structure or guidance. Outside of training/boarding, I’m a mom to a sweet little girl and we’re a big animal loving family. Our home is full of Australian Shepherds, foster dogs, horses, and plenty of time spent outside. We spend most of our days outdoors with the animals playing in the yard and soaking up fresh air. Animals have always been a huge part of our lives, and we love welcoming new dogs into our home. My goal is always to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where your dog can feel right at home. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 I own a full service dog training small business that offers play days, day training, boarding, board and training, private one-on-one training sessions. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly as it is my full time job. Pets are under 24 hr supervision. The property is completely fenced. Dogs will receive proper mental and physical exercise throughout the day (based on their breed, age, energy level, etc.). I do crate all dogs for decompression time throughout the day and for sleeping time. Dogs will be allowed to socialize and play with other animals on the property unless otherwise specified or showing reactivity or aggression. We will sent pics/videos if requested during their stay with us.

My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable here and for you to feel confident leaving your dog with me. I’ve been around dogs for many years and truly enjoy caring for them. I understand that each dog is unique, so I keep things simple, comfortable, and as close as possible to what they’re used to at home. I have experience with senior dogs and special-needs pets, and with administering both oral and injectable medications. When your dog stays with me, they’ll receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, supervised yard time, playtime, and moments to relax. I also send photo and message updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate your dog’s routine. I aim to keep feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and medication schedules as close as possible to what they're used to at home. For boarding, dogs get regular outdoor time in the fenced yard, attention throughout the day, and a relaxed space to rest. . I maintain a clean, non-smoking home with a fenced backyard where dogs can play outside safely. Before a stay, I like to learn about your dog, including their feeding schedule, sleeping habits, medications, and interactions with other dogs. I introduce dogs slowly and pay close attention to how each dog is feeling. I don’t force dogs to interact if they prefer to have their own space. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages during their stay.
“Lynn was amazing! Firstly she was able to accommodate a last minute doggy daycare request. This was our first time with Lynn and she kept me up to date the whole day with pictures and updates on Teddy. She even made sure to check with me before adding broth to his lunch. A+++! He had a FANTASTIC time and I could not be more grateful. Thank you Lynn!”


“Gunja was absolutely wonderful with Churro! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. She was caring, attentive, and treated Churro like he was her own. We also loved that he had Milo around for company. They got along so well! 🐶 Gunja kept us updated throughout his stay and sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Churro was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with him and would absolutely leave Churro with Gunja and Milo again. Highly recommend!”

“Chiaochih was wonderful with our 4 month old puppy! She sent updates regularly throughout the day, let me know how much our puppy ate and how she was doing. She was very attentive to our puppy and sent pics of her playing! Our puppy came home every day happy and tired- the best type of puppy! Would HIGHLY recommend!!”

“I could tell Odie was very comfortable and loved being at Susan’s for doggy day care after the first day. He was happy at pick up and the next day he jumped out the car when I dropped him off. Susan takes great care of Odie and I know he gets lots of loving and exercise! Naps in the car on the way home. Will definitely book with Susan again.”

“Trey was awesome and took very good care of my pet. He was responsive and accommodating, sent me pictures and videos of my pet. I’m happy with the overall boarding experience.”

About: I grew up with dogs (primarily a German Shepherd mix and Lhasa Apso) and cared for my own mixed breed at age 19. Took her to dog training school (Triple Crown Academy) where I learned quite a bit of everything from the best (Jessy Gabriel, Rob Dunn and Dave Kroyer). Upon graduation, I worked for a small business in Dallas, training in-kennel, private lessons, leading group classes and overseeing daycare dogs. Moved to Austin area and took a desk job to keep business hours that were conducive to raising children, but still love dogs. My GSD mix lived 16 years, and now we have a German Shepherd named Mila. I still love to help others with their dog needs, please tell me how I can be of service. :) I am working from home so every break or day off, I am constantly giving my dog attention. She loves to play fetch so I can do that or spend time petting your dog. Whatever makes them happy! I have a fenced yard and kids who love to walk with me while I take dog(s) out for walks. We give each guest attention and love while they stay with us or while I visit them in your home. I am currently working from home all hours of the 40 hour work week. I take a morning break, lunch break and afternoon break to spend time with my dog and can spend time with yours during that time too. I have a fenced yard and make sure that I am with them when outside. I can throw a ball/toy or simply watch them walk around and enjoy the time outside.
About: Experienced family based pet sitters. We have years of experience doing long and short term pet sits for friends all over the country. Now we want to bring those services to our own home. We have cared for senior dogs, puppies, farm animals, administered medication and cooked special food for special diets. We treat each pet like part of the family with personalized attention, playtime, and cuddles so they feel comfortable and cared for. I like to keep my home tidy and minimal to provide a safe environment. I will be gladly send pictures and videos of them to help keep your mind at ease while your away. I am home during the day so i will be around to give them my full attention. I work late evening outside the home for a few hours but my husband is home, so your pet will never be alone. I have no pets of my own. Your pet will have the whole house to themselves to freely lounge around and play in the fully fenced backyard making for a more comfortable stay for them. They will enjoy the very calm and friendly neighborhood on their daily walks.
About: Hi! I’m Chelsea — proud dog mom to Gouda (a goofy mini golden doodle) and Noodle (a sassy miniature dachshund). Around here, dog care is a family affair — my 8- and 10-year-olds help with walks, cuddles, and making sure every pup feels like part of the pack. Every guest goes home with a custom bandanna sewn by my kids (yes, they take orders — future entrepreneurs in the making 😂). Our home is warm, playful, and full of tail wags, belly rubs, and lots of laughter. Whether your pup’s a snuggler or a zoomie expert, they’ll fit right in with our crew! I work fully remote, so your pup will never be left home alone wondering where the snacks went. I’m here all day for walks, snuggles, potty breaks, and the occasional deep conversation about who’s a good boy (it’s always them). I also know that separation anxiety is real — for both pups and humans — so I send frequent photos and videos to keep you in the loop. Expect daily updates featuring tail wags, nap poses, and occasional cameos from my kids or my own dogs, Noodle and Gouda (a.k.a. the welcoming committee). Our home is a ranch style home with a fenced in yard in the back. Unless otherwise requested, your pets will have full roaming abilities of our home, just like our own babies. Our home is safety proofed and free from any dangers.
About: My husband handled and trained military dogs. We love and care for our dogs as part of the family and we will do the same for you! My husband and I are retired so our time is very flexible. We can be available most days of the week with at least a days notice. We have a fenced backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. We won’t crate your pup unless you request it. We are also happy to walk you dogs upon request.

“Nicole has been fantastic to work with. Our fur baby is such an important part of the family, we are always cautious of whoever is caring for her. Nicole is not only very kind & professional, but also reliable and flexible. She administers our pups medications, spends quality time playing/walking her, and also has been kind enough to clean her up if she happens to get dirty. Our dog loves her! I can’t rave about her enough, we are so grateful to have found her! 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 20 years. I’ve watched multiple friends and family dogs for them. I’m an animal lover. I just prefer dogs because I’m allergic to cats, even though I own two outside. I’ve worked with rescuers and fosters to help out in the community. This side job would fill my heart just loving your fur baby. I have 5 animals, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a chameleon. They are spoiled babies. I have to make sure they are taken care of on a daily basis. I would love them! I would play with them, walk them, feed them, whatever needed. In my home my animals are spoiled on a daily basis.

About: I’m very passionate about pets. I have a few of my own! I would say I connect with pets more than humans, they are so much more calmer and fun to play with. They make life so much more easier and God’s blessings. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine due to my availability is very open. I love animals so much and it brightens my day to be with them. I would treat anyone’s pet like it was my own! I love getting my steps in and I believe a pet should be healthy and active as well. So tons of walks will be done! I can chill or play with them for hours. As well as feeding of course and if they need a bath!
“I hit a home run with Shima! I have an 8th month old German shorthair pointer with high exercise demands daily. Shima was looking to gain knowledge in this field and has been walking, running and training my pup for a month now 2-3 times a week. She does an exceptional job with him and is patient to his needs! Working with a GSP can be one of the toughest breeds to work with. I come home and my pup (Troy Aikman) is happy and relaxed! I work a lot during the week so it is relieving to know he is in such good hands. I would highly recommend Shima for your needs. Troy lights up with energy when she shows up! Thank you Shima!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marina has been an amazing pet sitter for Benny! She is incredibly flexible with scheduling, communicates consistently, and always keeps us updated while we’re away. Most importantly, she takes wonderful care of Benny and treats him like he’s her own. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands. We highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”


“Book her she is the best!! She treated my dog with love and care as if he was her own! She sent pictures, sends updates, plays with the fur babies. I recommend and will book again for my next vacation”

About: A safe, clean home away from home, where every dog is treated like family. With lots of love, personalized attention, and help from my loyal German Shepherd, assistant, Lucy, your pup will feel right at home! But sets me apart from others is I can help crate dogs, potty train, to giving them their meds and walking them with a ginger lead for those elderly ones. I am currently working less than part-time. And for me, there’s no better way to spend that free time than with dogs. I also include them in my daily tasks. Every Dog’s comfort level is respected. I have both large and small crates available for dogs who are crate trained or whose owners prefer scheduled crate time (up to 90 minutes per day). I also use an indoor playpen and separate areas within the home to create healthy boundaries. Allow for quiet rest periods and ensure all dogs remain comfortable and safe. My goal is to provide personalized care, maintain each dog routine as closely as possible, and create a calm, loving environment, where pets feel secure, happy and part of the family while you’re away. It might be cliché, but I treat every dog as if it was my own.
About: With 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I have a deep understanding of animal care, from cats and dogs to exotic species. I’ve worked with pets of all temperaments—whether they’re energetic and playful or more reserved—and I’m comfortable providing care for animals with special needs or medical conditions. In addition to my veterinary experience, I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting for clients who visit our veterinary hospital, which has given me the opportunity to care for a variety of fur babies in their own homes. I also have experience with exotic animals, having worked at a botanical garden where I cared for a wide range of species. From reptiles to birds and small mammals, I’m familiar with the unique needs and care requirements of different types of animals. Whether you have a cat, dog, or exotic pet, I am fully prepared to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets while you’re away. I have my own fur babies, so I truly understand the trust and love that goes into finding someone to care for your pets. Whether your pets need medications, extra attention, or just a familiar face to keep them company, I’m here to ensure they’re in the best hands possible. I offer flexible and open availability for all your pet sitting needs! Whether you need someone for a few hours, overnight stays, or extended care, I am happy to accommodate. As a pet lover with a background in veterinary medicine, I prioritize the well-being of your pets and can be available on short notice. My schedule is open to fit your needs, so feel free to reach out for any day or time that works best for you and your fur babies! When caring for your pet in their own home, my top priority is ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful, which is why I strive to create a calm and familiar environment for them. With my experience as a veterinary technician, I am equipped to handle all aspects of pet care, from following specific routines to administering medications if needed. I believe that safety and trust are the foundation of great pet care. I’ll make sure your pet is always secure in their surroundings, keeping doors and gates closed, providing supervision during outdoor time, and ensuring they are never left alone in unsafe situations. I also make sure to follow any special instructions you provide to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained while you’re away, from feeding times to favorite toys or special cuddles. I treat your home as I would my own, respecting your space and keeping everything neat and tidy. I also offer updates and check-ins to keep you informed and help ease your mind while you’re away. With my experience and genuine love for animals, you can trust that your pet is in the best hands, enjoying their time at home while you’re gone.
About: I’ve loved all animals for as long as I can remember. I wanted to be a veterinarian growing up but when I couldn’t reach that goal I became a vet tech instead. After being a tech for 8 years I decided to start my own pet supply business. When I’m not meeting pets at events I love to walk and spend time helping people take the best care of their pets possible. I work full time running my fun traveling pet boutique, in my off time I love to dog walk for exercise and to help Other pet parents that don’t always have the time. I treat every single pet I meet like they are my own. Trust me she’s nothing but spoiled and loved 🥰 I can administer meds, give all the head rubs and belly scratches needed and show all the care for your special furry family member. Every pet deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.

About: I’ve grown up training dogs, learning about their behaviors, and researching the best ways to care for them. They’re my all- time favorite animals, so I love spending my time with them :) I live on a few acres in Liberty Hill, with a few intact male dogs on the property; along with poultry, livestock, and other livestock guardian dogs. I currently work in the mornings, so my own dogs are let outside to play in my yard while I am out. They’re not destructive or escapees, so they have the special privileges now :) I have a very large fenced in yard with lots of toys and extra space outside to walk, with the entire property fenced. There are a few intact male dogs, so I don’t accept any intact male dogs for safety reasons. I have two extra crates to use if necessary while I am running an errand.

About: Hi! I’m basically the kind of person who will ask to pet your dog before I ask your name. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny Chihuahuas to Huskies and Anatolian Shepherds, and I genuinely love getting to know what makes each pup unique. Whether your dog is super energetic, shy and nervous, obsessed with playing, or just wants a cozy nap buddy, I’m happy to match their vibe. I also have experience with fearful/anxious dogs, including pups who get nervous during storms or around new people, so patience and making animals feel safe always comes first for me. I work from home, which means your pet gets lots of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my own family 🐶🐾💛 I am full-time work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your pet attention, cuddles, potty breaks and walks throughout the day! I have a fenced in back yard, allow pets on my furniture and beds, and a very dog friendly neighborhood for walks! Prefer to have pets at my home but willing to do short stay overnights or stop in visits at clients homes.
About: Ive head pets my whole life and I am also a mom so I have a lot of patience dealing with teaching and watching over others. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can watch pets at any time. With time and organization I can watch your pets when needed. I prefer for the pets to be in the owners home and I can take care of them. If needed can also provide a safe space in my own home
About: As a dedicated animal lover, I stand out with my deep understanding of canine/human interaction, and I offer personalized care tailored to each dog's needs. I am an expert handler of various breeds, administering medication, and creating a stress-free environment for your pet. With a genuine love for dogs and a knack for anticipating their needs, I ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I have two dogs of my own, Rocky, a 5.5 yr old Belgian Malinois, and Lola, a 3 yr old Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix. Your pet will have all of the fun they can handle and will leave with 3 new best friends! I work from home 5 days a week and have incredible flexibility. I am home most of the of the time and when I am not, I am usually not too far away for too long. I can provide breaks and all the attention your pet needs almost anytime needed. I have 2 dogs to help keep your pups happy. Lola is the friendliest girl with lots of energy and an unrelenting desire to make new friends everywhere she goes. Rocky, is a retired police k9 who has the perfect balance of energy and calmness to welcome any new pup into our home. I routinely let them outside to play and use the restroom at a minimum of once every 2 hours. My pets are allowed anywhere in the house. It is two stories with multiple rooms so there are always places for them to have space if they need it. There are plenty of beds, toys, and friends to play with while they are here! I do have two large kennels that I never use, but if your pet prefers to sleep in a kennel in its own space, I am happy to provide that for them. Otherwise, they will be free to relax wherever they would like.

About: You’re looking at a resident family dog sitter 🫡 and we now have the space to help others! For years, I’ve been the default in helping watch family and friend’s animals. I am so excited to now have lots of space since we’ve always had lots of love to give! I work full time from home, so our mornings are pretty slow around here. Once my littles are up for the day, my two dogs (Mabel & Daisy - Brittany Spaniels) go for their morning “run” where I let them out on the main property to get some energy out and good sniffing in. Once my kids are at school for the day, the dogs come in as the heat kicks up. The doggy door stays open all day for them to come in and out as needed (except when weather does not allow). By evening time, we let them out on the main property for a second run of the day. Our girls are kennel trained and head to bed when we do! Other than that, we play when we can during my work breaks or when they bring me a ball to toss around! My property is fully fenced in. We have a gate that stays closed unless we are coming and going. Our backyard has a front section where there is a big shady part, and a fenced pool. The back section of the backyard is more open with lots more room to run. If it’s too hot or raining I will close up the doggy door for my girls. Food and water also stay inside for them!
