“Ingrid was great. She happened to be in our area so offered to pick up our dog since she was near by. Bailey slept with her in the bed too. Right where he’s used to sleeping.”

“This was our second time leaving Digger with Tisha, and we couldn't be more pleased. It's such a comfort to know that our fur baby is being loved and cared for when we take a trip and aren't able to bring him along. The pics she sends are great! We can tell he's having his own little vacation, and loves being around her dogs. The best part is seeing how he acts when he gets home. He falls right back into his normal routine. That makes me know he was treated right. We will definitely be using Tisha when we have to leave our Diggado behind!”
“Lillian is truly AMAZING! Ollie loves her so much that he didn’t want to leave. She was very accommodating and even had a meet up before so Ollie could meet her. 10 out of 10 service. We will be using Lillian for now on. Thank you Lillian!!”

I also have experience pet sitting for others, caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently attending school online, which allows me to be home full-time and provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Because of this, I have very open and flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Your pet will never be left alone and will receive complete supervision, playtime, and care during their stay. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get exercise, as well as a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys having company. I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and happy. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer they be crated at certain times, I’m more than happy to accommodate that. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

“Ingrid spent a lot of time interacting with my four dogs at every visit. She made sure they had plenty of outside playtime. One was a newly rescued stray that although lovable was quite a handful. She was completely unfazed. The dogs finished every visit with her happy and relaxed. She took care of the cats also and even my shy kitty warmed up to her. I will definitely use Ingrid again for our next trip.”
“Nana O. Did a great job checking in on our sweet Sadie while we were out of town! It made our travels super peaceful knowing we could depend on her to check in while we were gone! Highly recommend her and will book with her on future occasions!”

We can tell quimby enjoyed his stay because he was calm throughout the journey back home. To summarize, we highly recommend regina and her family for any petcare needs and we would love to send quimby to them again. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve cared for cats both at home and in a clinical setting, gaining hands-on experience with feeding, grooming, and maintaining clean, safe environments. I’m comfortable administering medications when needed and monitoring health indicators like temperature or behavior changes. I have a genuine love for cats and take extra care with things like deep-cleaning litter boxes and keeping their spaces comfortable and stress-free. What sets me apart is my combination of personal experience, veterinary practicum training, and passion for providing individualized care—making sure each cat feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away.

“Christiane was a great help watching Carly and Llama for a couple hours for us on fairly short notice. They had a great time after a long car ride and got along well with her dogs. If I'm ever in the area and need help with the dogs, She will be the first person I reach out to.”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets and I love what I do. Meeting new animals and being able to give a sense of peace to the owners while they are away is fulfilling. I like helping anyway that I can. I work at a Vet clinic so I see animals every day already so spending time with more animals is an added bonus. I work at a veterinary clinic full time. I work 10 hour shifts 4 times a week. Always off on Sundays. Rotate shifts on Saturdays. As long as you’re comfortable with my hours then I’ll make the pet sitting experience fun and enjoyable. I slowly approach the animals that are new to me to give them time to get used to me before they meet me. I like to gain a bonding experience by either going out for a walk with them or playing with a favorite toy of theirs to gain respect.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, etc! I’m a huge believer that they’re like family! I had a dog of my own for most of my life that was blind and diabetic, so I’m familiar with taking care of dogs of old age and medical care. I currently work as a flight attendant as well so my schedule varies week to week! I typically have spans on days on/off that make it easy for me to take care of your pets for several days! I live in an apartment that has sidewalks and grass all around, it’s a pet friendly complex:) I have no other pets or children that affect the environment. I’m also nearby a jogging trail that I love to take pets on for walks!
About: I have been passionate about animals all my life as well as a dedicated pet parent. Currently sharing a home with my boy Pecos Bill a German shepherd/husky mix. I have gained experience in understanding animal behaviors, managing dietary needs, administering medication, and training through caring for my own pets throughout life. I love being around pets due to their playful spirits and heartwarming loyalty, finding joy and satisfaction in providing a loving environment and ensuring pets feel safe and loved. I am typically available during the day, I am a mom with school age kids so as long as I can work around their school I’m available! By prioritizing the pet's physical and emotional well-being, and by maintaining open communication with the pet owner is how I will provide a positive and safe experience for both pet and owner.
About: I’ve had many pets since I was little and have grown up loving animals. I am very comfortable around animals and know how to take care of them.

I will always get to know your pet first and then make sure they are fed and taken out.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup is a playful puppy still learning the ropes or a senior dog needing extra love and patience, I’ve got the experience and heart to meet their unique needs. 🐶 Special Skills: Experienced in basic puppy training, crate acclimation, and potty routines Gentle, attentive care for senior dogs — including medication reminders, slow walks, and extra cuddles Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels Can administer oral medications and special diets Daily updates and photos so you feel connected every step of the way! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a long work trip, you can rest easy knowing your best friend is in caring, capable hands. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! 🐕💛 Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine — not an add-on, but something I genuinely look forward to. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning potty breaks, mid-day walks, or calm evening cuddle time. I plan my schedule to make sure each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and presence they need — especially important for puppies who need structure or senior dogs who need a gentle pace. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. I prioritize their well-being as I would a family member’s, and I’m always tuned in to changes in behavior, mood, or energy that might need a little extra attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. 🐾 In My Home: I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spaces for naps, indoor play, and supervised outdoor time (if applicable). I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets personal attention. I follow your feeding and potty schedule, administer any needed meds, and send daily updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and relaxed. 🐾 In Your Home: I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet. I keep things tidy, stick to your dog’s normal routine — walks, feeding, bedtime rituals — and make sure your pet feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or do other light tasks while you're away. Every pet is different, so I always ask detailed questions before a booking to learn their habits, quirks, and what makes them feel safe and loved.
About: I have been pet sitting for many years. My clients are always super pleased with my care giving. I have two dogs in my home that are spoiled rotten. My love for animals began at a very young age. Caring for animals is my specialty. I am very flexible with dates and times. I will clean up after the pups and take care as if they were my own. I have worked at a kennel as the only employee caring and cleaning up after 100+ dogs so don't worry if you have a crazy pup or a dog that needs medication or special care, I am capable of any type of care needed. I have seen it all! My main goal is to gain trust with my clients and ensure clients to hire me again! My schedule is very flexible. I am currently a stay at home mom which allows me to watch and care for your pets around the clock. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly golden retriever pup. My house also allows enough space to separate my pup if there were to be any concerns. Also have children who respect and are caring towards all animals.

About: What sets me apart is my six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, combined with formal animal hospital training. My passion began when I got my first puppy, whom I personally trained in potty training and basic commands such as sit, spin, and catch. Over time, I also gained experience managing multiple dogs in a household, learning how to balance different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. During these times, I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, medication administration, and general companionship. I plan my day to prioritize pets’ needs, ensuring they get consistent care, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I currently provide pet care exclusively at my clients' homes because I already have pets at my own residence, and I'm not permitted to bring in more. While at my clients' homes, I tailor my care for their dogs based on their specific preferences. Regular updates on their pets are a priority for me, and I always communicate promptly with clients if I have any questions regarding their pets.
About: I have been taking care of animals full-time through another app for the past three years. I have dozens of reviews I can share from that app. I love animals. I used to have my own cat and dogs when I was younger. I've also lived with people who have had pets. Even some people who had up to four cats and four dogs at a time. However, I promised myself that I wouldn't get my own animal again until I have a house of my own. Until that time, I look forward to giving your dear pets all the attention they deserve. I have many great reviews on the TrustedHousesitters app that I am happy to share with you. I look forward to being able to give you peace of mind about your animals. I know from first-hand experience with watching other people's animals, that pets usually prefer to stay in their home environment while their owners are away. So they will miss you, but this is the next best thing. :) I make my own schedule. I am very flexible. Possibly able to take last-minute requests. Please feel free to let me know what works best for you. The more communication the better. If possible, I prefer to meet you and your pet in person beforehand. To iron out any details and also so your pet will have met me.

“Megan was amazing! She watched our pups over Thanksgiving last minute & took great care of them. She kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Ingrid was great. She happened to be in our area so offered to pick up our dog since she was near by. Bailey slept with her in the bed too. Right where he’s used to sleeping.”
“Karimar was great! She provided frequent photos and communication. Our pup was well cared for, got a walk, got treats, etc., just like at home. I know she was much more comfortable and less stressed than at a boarding facility. Will book again for sure!”
“Amanda is fantastic. Molly always comes home exhausted from playing so hard during her time there. Also Amanda always stays in contact with keeping us informed as to how Molly is doing during her stay. This always puts us at ease knowing she is being taken care of and happy.”
“Delelah is a wonderful dog sitter, my dog Digby was so happy there and she gave me cute little daily updates on how things were going with him. Will absolutely use her services again :)”
“Stefani was a great help ! We were in town and totally forgot the Texas State Aquarium didn’t allow pets. She took Lola into her home while we were at the aquarium. Kept me updated. When back in town and needing a sitter will definitely book again! Thank you once again!”
“Such an amazing sitter! She is carrying, reliable, and communicative! Left my sweet girl here for the second time, and once again had a wonderful experience!”
“Cheyenne & David were wonderful with my little Koda! They kept me updated with lots of happy pictures. Very thankful and would love to use them again next time!”
“We are very lucky and fortunate to know Mrs. Gina and to have her as our #1 dog sitter choice. She is an excellent dog caregiver and always communicate sending us videos and photos of our dog. We highly recommend Gina to take care of your loving four legged babies when need it an above and beyond dog sitter.”
“This was our second time leaving Digger with Tisha, and we couldn't be more pleased. It's such a comfort to know that our fur baby is being loved and cared for when we take a trip and aren't able to bring him along. The pics she sends are great! We can tell he's having his own little vacation, and loves being around her dogs. The best part is seeing how he acts when he gets home. He falls right back into his normal routine. That makes me know he was treated right. We will definitely be using Tisha when we have to leave our Diggado behind!”
“Lillian is truly AMAZING! Ollie loves her so much that he didn’t want to leave. She was very accommodating and even had a meet up before so Ollie could meet her. 10 out of 10 service. We will be using Lillian for now on. Thank you Lillian!!”
“Our fur babies were excited to see us but pouted by the door when we got them home. I think they wanted to go back and play with Paige’s pups. We did not worry at all about them during their stay. We will definitely use Paige again when the need arises. Thank you so much.”
“Tetiana was great! Vera loved meeting with her, her husband, and Wanda (and her dog brought out the puppy play in my 9-year old dog). We can tell she had a great time staying with them, was well cared for, and very responsive with pictures and communication. We hope to book another stay again soon!”
“Esmeralda was great with our puppy, will definitely recommend her to all of our friends and family. She made our pup feel loved and at home. Thank you Esmeralda”
“Lauryn was amazing! She took the best care of Stormi. I was updated frequently with pictures which I appreciated so much. It was nice to go on vacation and know that my fur baby was happy and taken care of. Will definitely be recommending her to everyone I know and will be personally rebooking anytime I go out of town!”
About: Welcome! My name is Kirsten and I am a resident of Portland Tx! I’m originally from Austin where I began my animal care journey. I owned my own animal care service business in Austin for about 4 years taking care of dogs and cats from north all the way down to south Austin. I’ve loved every minute of meeting all kinds of personalities from all pets and giving them the love and attention they need. I’m happy to do a meet and greet with your fur baby. Look forward to meeting you! Pet care is a consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently work full-time as a dental assistant, and I am preparing to transition into dental hygiene school soon. Because I already manage a structured schedule, I’m very organized with my time and make pet care a priority. My routine allows me to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention. I love to take pups on walks In the neighborhood, play with their favorite toys and give them lots of rubs! If there are activities you prefer I would more than happy to add them to our daily activities. :)
