“Porter was welcomed into Ashley’s home like family and we appreciated the daily picture and update while we were abroad! He absolutely loved the daily walk and dog company.”
“Nia has been amazing! She’s very communicative and responsive. We scheduled a meet and greet before our trip, and since she has a dog as well, we were able to make sure the dogs got along and they did great together. She also has a large dog park right outside her home, which is perfect for an active dog. We’ll definitely consider booking with her again for our next trip.”
“Lynn was great! Sent periodic photos and was so pleasant the entire time, starting from before drop off to drop off. It sounds like my dog also got along with hers and her family! Would rebook with her again if I needed dog sitting.”
“For the first time, our medium size Goldendoodle stayed a week with Melissa & family. Melissa kept us updated with many photos & texts which we appreciated! Our pup seemed to enjoy his time with them. She was easy to reach, took good care of our pup, provided playtime & walks. He seemed to be in excellent care—Thanks Melissa!”

“Maegan and her daughter were fabulous! I was worried my dog might be a lot to handle. Maegan assured me she was familiar with the breed I have. Updates and pictures were sent. I could see my dog was attaching herself to Maegan’s daughter. And I knew she was getting a lot of attention. It was great!”
“Sangi had a blast with Tracy! This is the 1st time that he’s actually eaten from the beginning. Usually he’s with a sitter for a couple of days before he eats. Tracy sent lots of updates and pictures which eased our minds so much. Tracy has a sweet little furbaby named Holly who got along with Sangi. Highly recommend Tracy for pup sitting.”

“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!”
“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!”
“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: From kittens to fragile seniors, I love them all. I can assist with any tasks including, feedings, litter box duties, play time, and medications. Let me know what your furry babies favorite activities are.
“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.”
“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.”
“Errin is the best!! She loves on and cares for my kitties as if they were her own. I never worry when we leave our kitties in her care. Two of my kitties meet her at the door and supervise her while she's there...lol. In September she squeezed me in, on short notice, to attend a family funeral. That shows how exceptional she is. I wouldn't use any other sitter unless she wasn't available and I needed one in an emergency. I'm a customer for as long as I have kitties and I hope she never stops doing what she loves...taking care of pets!!”
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.
“Angel was very sweet and understanding. I had gotten a bonus last minute and was able to fly home for Christmas but no one was willing to watch my kitty for me. She stepped up and made sure she was taken care of and even eased my worries of leaving my kitty alone for the first time. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of cats for 8 years, I have one who has a little more needs than others because of her asthma and she is my entire world currently! I know my way around a shy or a mean cat, and I am not scared of doing heavy cleaning tasks to ensure a clean home and most importantly, a healthy kitty.
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.
“Ella did everything we asked and more. She was great at communicating with us daily and was patient and persistent in wooing our shy outside kitties. We'll definitely have her house/pet sit for us again!”
“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.”

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!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Joppa
“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.

“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: At Fur & Feathers, every pet receives personalized care, whether they have paws or feathers. I provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight boarding in a safe, loving environment where your pets feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. 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.
“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!”

“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!”
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.
“Susan S. is amazing! The backyard is big and spacious, my pup was happy to go to doggy day care at Susan’s. He typically tries to leave with me when using commercial boarding. Susan is professional, communicative and was able to accommodate a couple late mornings. Highly recommend! Loved the daily photos.”
About: I’m an animal lover, especially dogs and cats. I’ve dog sat for my family many times. I am available almost always as I work from home your pet won’t be left alone.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and truly treat every pet as if they were my own. Growing up, my family always had multiple dogs, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities, sizes, and energy levels. As an adult, I currently have four dogs of my own, which has given me extensive hands-on experience with daily care, exercise needs, and behavior. I’ve also interned and worked in veterinary clinics, as well as dog boarding and daycare facilities, where I gained experience handling dogs safely, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and providing attentive, compassionate care. Friends and family have trusted me for years to feed, walk, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for, and I always aim to provide dependable service, clear communication, and lots of love and attention. I’m currently available for drop-in visits and dog walks. I’m happy to provide dependable care, exercise, and attention to keep your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away. In my home, my pets are family, and their care is a top priority. They have a consistent daily routine that includes regular exercise, structured feeding times, enrichment, and plenty of affection and attention. I pay close attention to their behavior, health, and individual personalities so I can meet their specific needs and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I provide that same level of attentive, personalized care to every pet I look after. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine including feeding schedules, walk times, medications, training cues, and any special instructions because maintaining familiarity helps reduce stress while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including shy dogs, seniors, high-energy pups, and those who need extra patience or gentle handling. My goal is to make your pet feel secure, loved, and well cared for in your absence, while giving you peace of mind through dependable service and thoughtful updates. You can trust that your pet will be treated with the same care, respect, and attention I give my own.

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.

“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!”

“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!”
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.
