About: I am that person who just knows, where to scratch, what their favorite treat is, how to cuddle. Some how we fit instantly. I have personally owned and cared for puppies to senior dogs, along with ducks, chickens, horses, rabbits and small nocturnal animals. I work remotely, with a large fenced yard in a quite neighborhood. Currently I am pet free with lots of love to give to yours. My large yard is great for running and playing fetch. Because I have a pool I am cautious not to leave pets out alone. Because I work remotely I am able to continue with any routine set in place. Night cuddler no problem, crate sleeper that is ok too. I have plenty of space and time.

About: I have grown up with pets of all kinds. It wasn’t a farm but felt like it. From dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigs and a rabbit, I have had them all. I grew up in the country, lived in the city for 6 years, and now back to the country. Between my husband and I, we have 6 kids and 3 dogs.

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life including a pet rat. For some reason animals tend to like me and I like them as well. I have had to put down three pets in the last two years, very hard thing to do. I had 4 dogs and two cats, sadly down to one each. I’m retired and available anytime during the day. If there are some odd hours it can be discussed. If you pet needs me to walk them and or clean a litter box that will be no problem. I will be glad to send photos during my visit if needed. My yard is fully fenced with rod iron fencing, if the dog is small they might get out but doubtful. I prefer not to keep your pet at my house at this time.

“Melinda is totally amazing. She and her husband were so sweet, and cared for my pooch so well. He loved being in her fenced yard with the other dogs. He was so happy (and nice and tired) each day I went to pick him up, and it was clear he was not stressed in any way. The yard has plenty of shade for hot Texas days, and the home has concrete floors to help keep pets cool. They clearly take great care of their place and their pets. I highly, highly recommend Melinda and would not hesitate a moment to book her again.”

“I’m working on a systematic desensitization of one of my dogs and she was so patient with her! I also accidentally sent her to the wrong address and she still came to hang out with my creatures lol”
About: Hi, I’m Megan! I’ve cared for animals my entire life, volunteered at shelters, and worked as a kennel tech and vet assistant. I’m currently studying to become a vet and have plenty of free time as I’m off for the summer before I start vet school. I’m passionate about animals and offer reliable, loving care, whether it’s walking, administering medication, or just giving your pet attention. Your pet will be in great hands!

In your home I stick to your pet’s routine feeding, walks, and playtime, all while keeping everything tidy and sending updates to keep you in the loop.
“Was very helpful accepting my request last minute. Came here for a meet and greet and was very curious about any potential trial issues my dog may have while out on walks. Was very good at communicating when she was coming and when she arrived and even saved me when I accidentally overlooked that she was booked for ongoing walks and a payment was submitted that should not have gone through. Highly recommended from this customer. Hard to find someone willing to take on the challenges of walking a large breed Cane Corso like mine.”
About: I have had a love for dogs all my life. Last couple of years I have worked with dog rescues as a foster, that is how I found my dog. While working with the organization I took some classes with a dog training. I work from home but at times I do have to make trips outside of the house. I can normally plan my trips outside of the home. I have fenced in yard and crate for dogs that are custom to using one. I have 1 dog, foster gone wrong. I only have 1 dog so I can foster when needed.
About: Ever since I could remember, I have been raised in a household with multiple dogs. I was allowed to supervise them while my parents would go on vacations, which was always a blast. While working for Rover, I have gained much experience handling elderly animals, administering oral medications, and learning how to bond with even the most timid animals. I love working with dogs and cats since it is a rewarding experience. I have a flexible schedule and am available for visits between 5 AM and 9 PM on weekdays and weekends, offering reliable care for your pets. I am also very strict with frequent restroom breaks for the pets so they don't experience discomfort under my care. If needed, I can administer oral medications to both cats and dogs. In addition, I'm always careful with animals and their body language. Your pet must be feeling safe and comfortable with me, so I always encourage owners to meet with me for a meet and greet before I begin visits!

We go on walks tailored to their energy level, play fetch 🎾, practice basic training and commands, and enjoy interactive toys and mental stimulation games. On warm days, dogs can cool off in a kiddie pool or splash around with the hose 💦. My own dog is friendly, well-trained, and comfortable around other dogs, helping create a calm and positive environment. I also offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, so your pet can stay comfortable in their own home if that’s what they prefer. During visits, I make sure they’re fed, let out, played with, and given plenty of attention and care. Whether I’m boarding, walking, visiting, or house sitting, I focus on patience, consistency, and kindness so every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

I currently specialize in surgeries and anesthesiology (monitoring patients while under for surgery) but I also do general practice of day to day flow. I would treat your fur baby as my own...from cuddling on the couch, to curling up in our beds and long walks to get that energy out ! If boarding during week I still come home everyday at my lunch to give the babies an hour for freedom outside or lazy time inside. When out of the home we do have a soothing playlist to keep them calm and drown out the noise of busy life happening outside. Any questions or concerns please reach out ! I am offering with any paid bath while boarding anal glands expression as well (done the correct way..not the groomer way) Im blessed to be able to work just 3 minutes from my home. So when I have boarders I’m able to be home with them more. My husband andI have alternating schedules so pets are normally left alone no more than 3 hours during the week days. I do well with all breeds from the smallest fur baby to the biggest! My pets are more than pets they are family...so they are spoiled as they should be. I have a fenced back yard (privacy fence 6ft tall) I currently have 3 dogs of my own who go to work with me often so are use to new faces and smells. So no aggression from them at all! I have 3 cats who are all rescues...they range from bottle baby to 3 legged. We do walk any dogs staying with us for added exercise if needed. Plus my kids LOVE wrestling with the dogs and they are plenty worn out by night time

“Yvonne was amazing! After meeting Yvonne, I knew Teddy and Darby would have the best stay! During our trip, Yvonne kept us updated through messages and pictures. Leaving your pets is HARD, but Yvonne made stress free. She is caring, responds quickly, and loved our dogs like her own. Teddy and Darby can’t wait to come back!!”
“Koda absolutely loves staying with Erica & Robert! They update us daily and we feel safe and comfortable with him in their care. We are so thankful for them!”
“I just picked up my Buddy from Jennifer. He is still a puppy, & this was the first time for him to be boarded. He came home happy & relaxed. I couldn’t be more pleased. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ann was amazing!! My husband and I needed to board our baby for the first time but felt more comfortable finding an in-home pet sitter. We really appreciated Ann’s communication, especially the photos and videos of our boy having a great time. Thank you Ann 🤍”
“My puppy was so happy here and loved his stay. They were a wonderful family that was flexible and kept me updated constantly. It was a great experience all around for my boy and I am definitely rebooking with them in the future. HIGHLY recommend!”
“We had a wonderful experience! They truly made our dogs part of their family, and it was obvious they were loved and well cared for while we were away. We especially appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and messages—they gave us real peace of mind and let us enjoy our trip without worrying. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs, which says everything. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable pet sitters.”
“Brianne did a fantastic job with my overactive Cattle dog and geriatric Catahoula/Dane. She even took extra care for my pup who is afraid of storms ensuring the pup felt safe and comfortable. I have already rebooked two more stays with Brianne.”
“Courtney and her family were SO good with our girl! They welcomed her right into the family and took excellent care of her! I have no doubt we will use Courtney again to care for Ellie Mae.”
“Yogi had the best time! Rachel sent photos and videos of Yogi playing and having fun with her little ones. When we need a rover in the future, we will definitely use Rachel again!”
“Rhonda is a warm and caring dog lover! She was very attentive to my puppy's needs and was prompt in communicating any answers to the questions I asked her. My puppy came home in a great mood and I could tell she had a wonderful day at Rhonda's house, playing with her dog and napping and being silly.”
“Makae is truly the only sitter I have booked with ever since I found her. She take great care of my babies and treat them as her own so that is always a great feeling ❤️”
“Mary & Bob were so sweet, had amazing communication, and were exactly what we were looking for for our baby! We will definitely be booking them in the future. They took amazing care of our dog.”
