“Tamara did a great job watching our dog, Lacey. She had a house with plenty of space for her to run around both inside and outside. She obviously spoiled our dog because she looked absolutely happy in every photo Tamara sent :)”
“Paul is AMAZING! We met him at a neutral park first. My PJ liked him. Then we met Blaze, who is a very friendly pup. Paul sent pictures and was very responsive while I was gone. I will DEFINITELY call on him again!”
“She was amazing! She took great care of my dog and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated. She was so sweet, caring, and easy to communicate with. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Mary Jane was amazing with our mini Aussie. She made sure that our girl was comfortable with her surroundings and gave her so much attention. We were very pleased with the care, attention and communication we received from Mary Jane.”
“Edward was great! Kept us up to date on what Chance was doing and how he was doing with eating and drinking. I got multiple pictures of Chance looking comfortable and cozy during his stay.”
About: I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter with previous experience caring for pets and house sitting. I’ve been around animals my whole life and understand the importance of following routines, being attentive, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for my own dog and am used to planning my day around feeding, walks, and making sure pets get the attention they need. My schedule is flexible, and I’m very responsible about showing up on time and following the routine each owner provides. I know how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’m also very respectful of the home and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. Most importantly, I give each pet plenty of attention, patience, and care.
About: My whole life, my family has had cats, dogs, hampsters, bunnies- you name it! While away at college during the school year,I don’t get to see my furry friends as much anymore, so I love every opportunity I get to spend with animals! It would be my pleasure to give your pets the love and care that they deserve! I’m currently only enrolled in a few in person classes at TAMU, so my days are pretty much free meaning I have plenty of time for your pets! If you wish to have your pet stay in my home, I have a fully fenced yard and more than enough room for them in my home.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since sophomore year of high school and I feel pretty comfortable with any dog of any size! I would take very good care of each dog I encounter to ensure they are safe. I’m currently a college student at Texas A&M, so I am more flexible friday through sunday for dog sitting. As well as in the mornings on mondays, wednesday, and friday for dog walking. I always follow the owners instructions on how to best accommodate the dog. And in the clients house I make sure to maintain boundaries and ensure the dog is cared for and safe.
About: I am an experienced pet owner and have been around dogs, cats, and horses my whole life. As a pet owner I know how great it is to not have to worry about pet care when I am traveling and leave my fur babies home with a pet sitter. I want my clients to have that same feeling and know their pet is getting the best care when left with me. I am not currently working and have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby. I love to walk and am available for neighborhood walks or can take your pet to a park. Your pet’s safety and happiness is my top priority. I will go above and beyond expectations to make you and your pet repeat clients.
“Brooke did a great job taking care of sprout. She was very kind, caring, thoughtful, and communicative through the entire process. She and her husband made a a great effort to make me and sprout feel safe and comfortable. They sent pictures to keep me updated which really helped me feel at ease. They are honestly some of the nicest people I have ever met and they really care about animals. Sprout had a blast with their dog and it made me happy to know he had a fun vacation and made a new friend while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them and use them again if I need a dog sitter.”
“Olivia is absolutely amazing. She agreed to watch my dog last minute while I was out of town for a week, which I really appreciated. We did a quick meet and greet, and Chilli was immediately comfortable with her! She also showed me where Chilli would be staying, and her place is super clean and well kept. You can tell she has a lot of experience (she’s fostered many dogs), and it shows in how she cares for them. While I was away, she sent plenty of pictures and kept me updated, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I genuinely didn’t have to worry at all. I have no notes! I’ll definitely be using her again. Thanks, Liv!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little and have always had big dogs so im not afraid of them. I've pet sit for my friends and family many times and have had no issues at all even with their older dogs that need medicine at specific times or young puppies that are very acccident prone. Im a student but have found a lot of extra time on my hands that even my cat doesn't want to deal with. So im available for any job most weekdays. Im available after 3:30 Tuesdays and Thursdays for walks or playtime. And afternoons after 5 on Monday Wednesday and Fridays for any late night pet sitting. I have a fenced yard and a big living room with parks near me that are great for walks. For clients home im very adaptive and can keep pets occupied and cared for depending on the service.
About: Animals have been my entire life and passion. I grew up caring for them and have extensive, hands-on experience handling all types of personalities, sizes, and needs. My background includes working on a ranch where I managed boarding operations and administered medical care for both large and small animals. I am deeply committed to animal welfare. I have also spent years volunteering with multiple city Trap-Neuter-Return/Release (TNR) programs, which taught me how to safely handle anxious or fearful animals with patience and respect. I love all animals and treat every guest like family. Your pet will be staying in a home that is truly optimized for their safety and well-being.I work from home full-time with a highly flexible schedule, which gives me 24/7 availability. I take frequent breaks throughout the day to play, walk, and monitor your pet, ensuring constant supervision. Thanks to my ranch and TNR background, I have expert handling skills and understand animal behavior well. I can comfortably handle high-energy or shy pets, and I am fully confident administering oral medications, injections, or following strict medical routines.Because I work from the comfort of my home, your pet will rarely be left alone. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. Whether your pet needs a high-energy day of fetch or a quiet, comfortable space to snooze next to my desk, I easily adapt to their specific schedule and habits. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. My schedule allows me to stay with your pet almost 24/7, ensuring they are rarely left alone. Throughout the workday, I have a set routine where I take three 15-minute breaks and one full 1-hour break. I use this time to focus completely on your pet by taking them on walks, playing, or giving them potty breaks. Because my job keeps me at my desk, your pet can sleep or relax right in the same room with me all day, or they can rest in a separate room if they prefer quiet time. On weekends and evenings, my schedule is completely open for longer walks, grooming, and extra socialization. I tailor my care entirely to the unique needs of each animal, whether they are staying with me or if I am visiting your home. Thanks to my experience working on a ranch and volunteering with city trap-neuter-return programs, I am highly skilled in reading animal behavior and handling fearful, anxious, or high-energy pets. I maintain strict safety protocols, double-check that all gates and doors are secure, and follow your exact feeding and exercise instructions. If your pet has medical needs, I am fully qualified to administer oral medications and injections safely. I keep a clean, stress-free environment and adapt the daily setup based on your preferences and what fits the specific service you book.
About: I’ve had pets for 6 years now. I got my first Ragdoll cat in 2020, then raised a black Labrador from a puppy in 2021. We spent a lot of time together and went on a lot of trips, so he’s pretty used to new places and changes. My friends used to call my pets “travel pets.” In 2024, I also got a Siamese cat. I’m very used to having pets around all the time and spending long hours with them. I really enjoy being with animals. Being around pets makes me happy and gives me a lot of energy, and I’m more than happy to spend time just hanging out with them, playing, walking, or keeping them company. I’m a PhD student at Texas A&M, and I mostly work from home since my work is computer-based. I don’t need to go into an office except for occasional meetings, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I usually like to take pets out first thing after I wake up, and during the day I have plenty of breaks where I’m happy to spend time playing with them or just hanging out. I’m around most of the day, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I often watch my friends’ pets, especially when they go home for holidays or travel, so I’m used to caring for pets that are new to me. I’m pretty good at getting pets to feel comfortable quickly, and I always take things slow and let them set the pace. I keep my place clean and calm, and I’m careful about safety and routines. I want pets to feel safe and relaxed, not stressed.
About: I am very dedicated when it comes to taking care of dogs. I make sure each pet feels at home, comfortable, and loved. I enjoy playing with them, giving attention, and making sure they are happy and safe while their family is away. Right now, I have plenty of time to care for pets because I stay at home most of the time. My schedule is very flexible, so I can give full attention and care to each pet. I have a playpen that my dog, Nina, really enjoys for her sunbathing time. Pets can relax safely there and enjoy the fresh air. I also like to take them for walks since there’s a park close to my home. I make sure they get exercise, attention, and lots of love during their stay.
About: My mother was a vet ❤️ I have loved on a variety of animals to include exotic pets and much more since a young kid. I’m retired and currently in progress of building a Rescue Ranch i have close to 40 outdoor animals currently. I live out in the country with plenty of room. If you prefer indoors sitting I am definitely willing to accommodate. I can vouch that your fur babies will be taken care of like they were my very own. I am retired and home all day. I am currently building a Rescue Ranch so my schedule is very flexible. The only days or hours not available are Sunday for Church. I allow most pets inside or out. I do have a fence in property, also plenty of pasture space for larger animals or grazing if needed.
About: I have two Corgis myself! I have always had pets and taken care of animals. I also have previous vet care and pet setting experience. Right now Pet care is currently my full-time gig. Previously, I was working at home and could be fully attentive to our animal family members. My dogs are my children. I love animals and I treat other animals as if they were my own. I am extremely attentive and caring.

“Extremely professional!! Brittany and her sister saved me last minute and I am so glad I found them. They sent pictures during every visit and I knew my cat was in good hands after I met them.”
About: I have had a passion for animal care since I was young and have only grown in experience with time. I previously worked in an animal shelter and have experience handling high-energy puppies to couch-potato seniors. I would foster older dogs while working there and am adept at creating a comfortable space for pups that struggle with changes. I look forward to getting to know your dog and personalizing their care to their needs. I am available anytime during weekends. During weekdays, I am free in the mornings and afternoons, with plenty of time to give your pup the individual attention they need. I am happy to provide whatever care is necessary to keep them healthy and happy in their home. I am available for visits to provide feeding, water, exercise, and that dose of attention that every pup needs. During visits, I'll provide updates and photos so that you can be sure they are getting the attention and care they deserve
“No complaints. Javeon was very nice and friendly when we first met to go over everything. Dogs seemed happy to see her from the photos she sent during her visit. Would book with her again.”
About: I'm a farm girl that loves animals from dog and cats to farm animals in general; I have done it all. I have 7 beautiful fur babies of my own currently, 5 dogs 2 cats. We have chickens, cows and horses. I have experience with the youngins to the elderly. I can do about anything you need. I was a breeder in the past of mini-Dachshunds and Weimaraner's. I am a mother of 4 grown children with 6 grandbabies, my family loves the outdoors, showing in 4-H and equestrian events, sports, fishing, hiking and running a small family business. I would love to care for your pets with all the love and affection they deserve while your away. I currently work our family business with a flexible schedule, I am very organized with prepping and feeding schedules, as well as general cleaning to keep your pets safe. When caring for your pet or pets my goal is to keep them in their routine as much as possible, feeding, play time, walks, crating, potty breaks. Please let me know if there are behavior problems, or if special needs are an issue I am willing to work with you to accommodate.
“Cambria was very professional in everything she did. She took care of all our cats and brought in the packages that were by the gate. She kept in contact with us and sent us pictures of her arrival. She also stayed the appropriate amount of time. We will definitely book her again.”
“Brooke took care off our precious kitty baby, Luna for almost a week. We had a meet & greet prior to her stay & I was thrilled Luna wasn't weirded out, especially since she'd never stayed with other cats/dogs before & doesn't take to strangers very quickly. Brooke was even kind enough to pick Luna up from the vet's office where she was boarded for the first couple days of our vacation since she was unavailable for those 2 days. Brooke sent me updates as well as pictures which I really appreciated because we were 6 hours away & I was a bit concerned that Luna might not behave. Thankfully, everything went well & I'm more than happy to recommend Brooke to other furbaby parents. It was so nice to know that Luna had a safe place to stay with room to run & play while we were away. If Luna could talk (English anyway lol), I'm sure she'd say the same thing! Thanks so much Brooke (& your hubby as well-sorry I forgot his name).”
About: Hey there! Taking care of animals is a passion of mine. The unconditional love they give us is just a great feeling. So a little about me, I went to Tarleton State for Animal Science. I want the animals to be comfortable with me and in the environment. Animals deserve extra love and attention, specially when you’re busy all day or going out of town. I’ve worked as a veterinary technician with animals for 8+ years, as well as taking care of animals outside of work. I love all sorts of animals and think they deserve the same care as humans get! Dogs have feelings too! I believe animals need to go out a lot and get exercise as well as socializing. Dogs need just as much love as we need! I will always try to accommodate my schedule to make sure the fur babies have plenty of time to get some fresh air, potty break and some love during the day! When I care of clients fur babies, I always make sure to follow your guidelines with your babies. That being if they needed to be leash walked or they get to run free in the yard.

“This is the second time I have used Brittany. The first meeting we had to see if she was a fit, she brought a checklist and asked great questions. I appreciated the attention to detail. This was the first time my nearly 13 year old Labrador had been apart from me for a full week. He did great, but it was only because of her commitment to take care of him.”

I’m pretty good at getting pets to feel comfortable quickly, and I always take things slow and let them set the pace. I keep my place clean and calm, and I’m careful about safety and routines. I want pets to feel safe and relaxed, not stressed.
About: My mother was a vet ❤️ I have loved on a variety of animals to include exotic pets and much more since a young kid. I’m retired and currently in progress of building a Rescue Ranch i have close to 40 outdoor animals currently. I live out in the country with plenty of room. If you prefer indoors sitting I am definitely willing to accommodate. I can vouch that your fur babies will be taken care of like they were my very own. I am retired and home all day. I am currently building a Rescue Ranch so my schedule is very flexible. The only days or hours not available are Sunday for Church. I allow most pets inside or out. I do have a fence in property, also plenty of pasture space for larger animals or grazing if needed.
“Shyla was a great sitter for our pups over the weekend. She was kind & caring and gave plenty of updates to let us know how they were doing during the stay. We would most definitely use her again.”
