“Belinda shows love and kindness making her home our fur baby's home. Cindy has separation anxiety and when we get her back she shows she misses us but not that she was uncomfortable. That is all we ask, that she is loved and we know or feel we know that she was.”
“Cindy was super awesome and accommodating. My pup was a handful but she was patient and handled her with love and kindness. Thanks again! Will keep you marked for future care.”
“Our dogs recently stayed with David and his family. We highly recommend them. We have 3 large dogs and one which has seizures and Addison’s disease. During their stay we received updates and photos that we really appreciated. We were comforted by the fact that His wife is a vet tech and in the event that our dog had a seizure she would know how to intervene if needed. We would not hesitate to board them with David and his family again.”
“Karimar is an exceptional dog sitter. My bichon has health concerns, partly due to age, and she stayed in constant contact with me and provided so much love and care. She is a treasure.”
“Danielle was awesome with scheduling a last minute stay. She took care of Apollo and shared photos of his visit. Apollo is is older, and she provided that extra care he needs. We will definitely contact her again.”

“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!”
“She was absolutely wonderful and treated Beau like one of her own. We felt completely at ease knowing he was so loved and well cared for. We would 100% book with her again!”
“Judith is patient with Kevin and sends videos of him to me while he’s there. I never worry about him when he is with her because I know her care is the best.”
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Stefani! We loved receiving frequent pictures while we were out of town and she had no hesitation ensuring our dog received her medication! Thank you Stefani, see you soon!”
“Amanda was so flexible, accommodating and competent. Our pup was well taken care of with Amanda. Her detail recap of the stay was informative especially since our dog has some medical issues. We will definitely request in the future and recommend Amanda!!”
“Paige was very welcoming and it was obvious that Luc felt right at home from the start. Paige sent updates on how things were going. She also sent photos of luc playing with the other dogs and relaxing on the couch! Definitely will use Paige again!”
“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!!”

About: Hello! I’m Desiree. I'm 21 years old. I have one dog named Athena. I love animals, and I am a certified vet assistant. I would love to keep your animals company and take them on walks or to the park! I’m currently enrolled in online college, so I have plenty of time in the morning and evening to take care of your babies. I can work with you to find the best possible schedule for you and your animals I have a puppy who is highly anxious and can be slightly reactive. I have learned about pets' behavior and how to ensure an animal is relaxed and happy. I will ensure your animal is well cared for to your standards and routine.
About: I provide more than just basic care—I offer personalized attention, experience, and a genuine love for dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my background in both helping your puppy and senior dog care, allowing me to adapt to the unique needs of each dog I care for. Whether it’s helping a young pup learn basic commands and good leash manners, or ensuring an older dog stays comfortable, safe, and loved, I approach every visit with patience, compassion, and consistency. I’m also confident handling dogs with special medical or dietary needs. Your dog isn’t just a client—they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I treat each one with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening drop-ins. I limit the number of clients I take at one time so I can give each dog the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Being a pet sitter and walker isn’t just a side gig—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and cared for. In my home, I make sure the space is free of hazards, fully enclosed, and suited to the pet’s size, energy level, and needs. I provide plenty of mental stimulation, safe toys, and cozy spots to relax. If pets have special routines or restrictions, I stick to them closely. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, leash rules, or household routines. I maintain clear communication, send updates and photos, and treat their home with the same care I give their pet. Above all, I aim to build trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care.
About: Over the years, I've cared for dogs/cats of all sizes, breeds, and personalities-from playful puppies to seniors needing a gentler touch. I'm patient, adaptable, and always take the time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have plenty of experience administering medication, whether it's pills, drops, or special routines. I make sure it's done safely, calmly, and without stress for your fur baby. When your pet is with me, they'll get love, attention, and care as if they were my own. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. Dogs especially make my world brighter, and I love being the person they can count on for walks, cuddles, and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, love, or just company while you're away, I'm here to make them feel at home. I absolutely cannot wait to meet your fur baby💚🐾 I'm currently working full-time from 7:30- 4:30, but I am a morning person, and I don't mind using my lunch break to take them out to potty in case you're not able to. After work and weekends are mainly where my free time is. Unfortunately, I'm unable to offer these boarding services. My significant other is highly allergic to dander. I'm so glad Rover also has the option to walk or drop in visits. if they were to make a mess while your were gone i will always pick up or clean as if the mess was never there.
About: I have two dogs of my own and I dog sit for friends and family. We have a small home but give plenty of out door fun all day long for those energetic puppies Weekends are mainly open for us. We would rather stay home with our pups then going out. If we do go anywhere our dogs are kennel trained. We will soon have a fenced yard but for now we use leashes for outdoor walks, runs and lots of play time to get that energy out of the puppies. Our dogs have their own futon and lots of toys to keep them busy indoors as well.
About: Since I was a teen I've taken care of my neighbors' dogs and cats every now and then. I've house sat and done drop in visits so I have plenty of experience. I did a birds and small mammals internship at the Waco zoo in summer of 2023 so I have a bit of exotic animal care experience if it is needed. I'm working full time right now but so far the shifts aren't super long so I have time to feed and take out any pets that I need to take care of. I take very good care of any pets I need to. I pay attention to my own, and others. I will love on them, give you updates, and check in with any questions I have so I can provide the best care possible.
About: I have had the pleasure of caring for many different cats of all personalities including my own two tabby cats. I also have professional experience caring for a felines through my work in animal training. I am comfortable with tasks such as cleaning litter boxes, adhering to feeding schedules, providing medications if needed, and providing enrichment to keep your pets engaged.
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.
About: I’ve had experience with cats since I was 7 years old. I had 3 cats in my life and 1 as of now that I love and adore so much. My nickname is actually kitty or Sammy kitty since I was little because I’m obsessed with cats! I will be so happy to take care of yours as well!
About: I am currently employed as a dog groomer and I have experience as a vet tech! I have had my two dogs for 8 years and I also have pet cats. I have been involved in the rescue community for years, saving dogs and cats and having them sent up north for adoptions. I have the patience required to care for all kinds of animals! I work as a dog groomer during the day, and I can bring my dogs to work with me because we have kennels separating each dog. I am off all day on Sundays. I am extremely patient when it comes to caring for my pets and others’ pets. I am extremely skilled caring for aggressive and timid dogs. One of my dogs has arthritis and hip dysplasia, so he is on constant medication and steroid injections. My other Pomeranian has urinary problems and anxiety, especially around any loud noises, so I have to be extremely patient when she wakes up at all hours of the morning when she is having an anxiety attack. One of my cats also has an enlarged heart, so he is on medication everyday for the rest of his life. But, I wouldn’t change them for anything in the world. Their traits and quirkiness makes them each special in their own way and I look forward to taking care of your pets and learning their different personalities! I work as a dog groomer during the day, so I am allowed to take my pets or my boarding dogs with me to work. We do not allow the dogs to interact for safety reasons, so each dog has their own large kennel. This way your fur babies are not left home alone all day, everyday. I have a fenced yard and friendly pets. I have a two bedroom home with a large living room area. If your dogs are not good with other dogs or cats, I can keep my pets in a separate room while giving your pups the space that they require to feel comfortable and safe. We allow our pets on the bed, so if your pup likes cuddles- there’s plenty to go around! I keep my pets as well as my boarding dogs on a strict schedule when it comes to eating and meds because consistency is key! I try to send pictures and videos every few days so that my clients can have peace of mind while their pups are being boarded and enjoy their trip! I also have cameras all over the inside and outside of my home so that if I am away I can constantly check on my pets and yours.
“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.”
“Autumn is amazing. She was diligent, thoughtful, informative, and we had complete trust that our pets were well cared for. I would highly recommend her to anybody! She would be the first person I check with next time we need someone.”

“Mary is the Best! Ella loved her stay and so did I. She kept us informed and was super supportive when we were running late. I definitely recommend her! 🐾♥️”
“I can’t say enough great things about Susana! She took care of my 5 month old German Shepherd puppy, Pipo, and truly went above and beyond. What impressed me most was how attentive she was. No matter the time, Susana kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Whether it was playtime, mealtime, or just Pipo relaxing, she made sure I knew he was happy and well cared for. On top of that, her dog Zeus was incredibly friendly and welcoming! It was heartwarming to see how well Pipo and Zeus got along. They played together like they’d been best friends forever. It’s clear that Susana creates a loving and safe environment for all dogs in her care. I’m incredibly grateful for her kindness and dedication, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative, Susana is the one to trust!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. From Dachshunds to Great Danes and every stray in between, I've owned fostered and adopted over 30 dogs of all sizes and different levels of need. My services include daily dog walks, hikes or runs for our high-energy clients (your preference), basic grooming (bathing and nail trimming) and obedience training. I understand your dogs aren't pets - they're people/ family and I'll treat them as such. "A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won't be too bad." - Robert Wagner "I work hard everyday so that my dog can have a better life." - Unknown "My Dog Does this thing where she just exist and makes my life better" -Unknown
“Brooke was awesome. She was so friendly and accommodating. She texted me throughout the day to tell me about how my dog was doing and sent pictures. Will be sure to work with her again.”
“Monica is great!!! Took amazing care of our 4 month old puppy. He was always happy to see her. Monica sent us pictures and updates, she is outstanding and we will be seeing her again!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and several years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’m attentive, patient, and treat every fur baby like my own. I’m comfortable adapting to the care your pet needs and the routine you prefer. I understand it can be stressful to be away from your babies, and some may need a little extra love. As a pet owner myself, I want you to feel confident, secure, and worry-free knowing your loved one is well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily prioritize pet care throughout my day. I’m able to plan my routine around your pet’s needs and provide consistent attention. I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. In my home, I provide a calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and crates available if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their routine, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have cared for many different types of animals since the young age of 6 or 7. I have always had much empathy, patience and understanding for them. We cared for stray dogs, cats and a hurt hummingbird as a child. Christie was our family dog when I was a teen that was a beautiful Collie who I cared for till I moved away for college. Since then, I have cared for many dogs, birds, lizards and cats. I have educated myself greatly on the topics of pet care, behavior, training, feeding and more. I have served as a foster mom in DFW and currently assist Ay Chihuahua Rescue group in fostering and holding adoption & educational events. I also support foster families in their needs for our group. My hope one day is to have a big farm in the country where I can foster many more animals especially seniors in the short years that they have left. I am a retired Texas school educator who runs a small Etsy Shop from home. I am free to care for pets most of the day as needed and boarding on occasion. I have no obligations except my current two small dogs. I ensure pets have their potty breaks on a frequent basis to avoid accidents. I ensure they eat the right amount & quality of food for both meals. I walk my dogs even though we have a fenced backyard so that they can explore, smell the outdoors and be stimulated by all of the sights and sounds of nature. I am very patient, understanding, kind and considerate of all animals especially rescues and those that need more training, discipline and positive reinforcement. I have had pets my entire life from birds as a young girl to a turtle to cats and dogs. I care about all animals and understand their body language and try to be attuned to their thinking so as to not bring fear or aggravate any stresses they may have. As a young girl, I grew up in a neighborhood with many stray dogs and learned from an early age how to read their body and how to move my own body to not scare or threaten an animal. I am also a foster Mom to other foster Moms that need a vacation or break. Caring for pets brings joy, fun and satisfaction to my life and could not envision a life without pets.
About: When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they have a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of space to roam and play. I maintain a regular feeding schedule, provide fresh water at all times, and administer any necessary medications as directed by the owner. Additionally, I engage in interactive playtime and provide daily walks or outdoor activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. When caring for pets in a my home, I prioritize their comfort and well-being by following the owner's instructions closely. I maintain their usual routines to minimize stress and ensure they feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I communicate regularly with the owner and , providing updates on their pet's activities and any concerns that may arise. Overall, my goal is to provide the same level of love and care that I would want for my own pets. We love animals, We have one dog of our own that we rescued from the pound, We want your furbaby to have lots of fun with us and our furbaby while visiting us Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine, especially since I work from home. Take, for example, my rescued one-year-old dog named Miley. In the morning, I start the day with a walk and dog park to ensure she gets her exercise .Throughout the day, I schedule plenty of play sessions and training exercises to keep her mentally stimulated and reinforce good behavior. , I am always giving her attention and cuddles to maintain our bond. In addition to regular walks, I also take Miley to the dog park twice a day where she can socialize and burn off extra energy. she has her own group of doggy friends and is always ready to meet more friends .Additionally, I often host dog parties for Miley and her friends, providing a fun and safe environment for them to play and interact.

“Cindy was great with a quick response to take Woodfords booking last minute. Unfortunately he had to undergo emergency surgery (unrelated to her care) and I had to cancel, but Cindy’s immediate confirmation and response time was great and I hope to book with her again when Woodfords feeling better.”
“Excellent experience with Lauren. She was so communicative throughout my dogs visit with her by sending many pics. She was also very accommodating taking a last minute reservation. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Jennifer was amazing! She took Raider into her home very last minute and made sure he had a great experience. The constant picture and video updates were the cherry on top!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently own a miniature schnauzer, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love they need. 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.
“Melinda is wonderful, kind, caring and flexible. We feel so safe leaving our dog Dale with her and her family, and he loves being there. We will continue to visit Melinda in the future!”

About: My experience has never stopped me from striving to be the best I can be. I’ve had animals in my home for over 15 years, cherishing every moment of it. I'm a stay at home house wife..and caring for your pets is no inconvenience for me.. your pets are very important to me and that they are properly taken care of.. My dog Pinky is never out of sight and my cats are indoor. I will never let out my cats because to many bugs outside..
“Sol is amazing with our dogs—we genuinely look forward to his visits. He’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. Our dogs get so excited every time he comes by, which says everything. We feel totally comfortable knowing they’re in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Karen was able to come within short notice having never met my dogs before. She was absolutely wonderful with them. We plan on rebooking in the future! Thank you again!”
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely understand how important pets are to their families because I’m a pet parent myself. I currently care for two dogs of my own—Apollo, a 4-year-old Siberian Husky, and Milo, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu—which has given me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, patience, and attention. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I will adapt to their needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I am dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet owners informed through regular updates and photos. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I strive to provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. My experience with both a high-energy Husky and a small companion breed has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, supervision, and positive interactions. Above all, I provide a safe, loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. Right now, pet care fits into my schedule primarily on weekends. I am starting with weekend availability so I can dedicate my full attention and energy to each pet I care for without conflicting weekday commitments. This allows me to provide reliable walks, drop-ins, or overnight care while ensuring pets receive consistent attention and supervision. On weekends, I have the flexibility to plan my time around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific routines each pet needs. I make it a priority to follow the owner’s instructions closely so pets stay comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away. As I grow on Rover, I plan to gradually expand my availability into weekdays as well. My goal is to eventually offer more flexible scheduling while still maintaining the same level of care, communication, and dependability that I provide on weekends. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home. I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication needs, and any house rules to keep the pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment. I ensure doors are properly closed and locked, pets are always supervised during visits, and I stay attentive to anything that could affect their safety or comfort. I focus on building trust with each pet by being patient, gentle, and allowing them to adjust at their own pace. I also keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and notes so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as they would with their own family.
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 over 8 years of training and care giving experience in over 20 different species of animals ranging from livestock to dolphins. My life has always involved animals. Growing up we had at one point 20 pets (chickens to an iguana). I continued and expanded my animal experience when I decided to pursue a Bachelors degree in Animal Science from Texas A&M-Kingsville. Equipped with my formal education, I started a career at the Texas State Aquarium where I learned how to train an array of species using operant conditioning focusing on obtaining desired behaviors through positive reinforcement. When I left the aquarium I branched out to the veterinarian side of the industry. Finally, I made it back to training and decided to focus on dogs because they are such an integrated aspect of our day to day lives. Now, after a years of calling South Texas home, I was delivered to the island of Oahu. I currently work as a marine observer, taking my love for animals to the ocean. I collect data for conservation and mitigation. When I’m not out at sea, I want bring love and fun into your pets life. Being around God’s gentle creatures is truly where my heart sings!!! I understand that our pets are not just an animal that lives with us but they are family! Their well-being is a priority. Consistent exercise and compassionate caregiving will create a happy, healthy pet! LET ME ADD TO YOUR HOME-LIFE OF HAPPINESS! ❤️ I will assist you in caring for your pets from exercise to training (using positive reinforcement), grooming, and/or pet sitting! I have a very unique and adventurous job that takes me off land for 14-28 days at a time. I’m a marine observer. But when I am in between voyages, I am completely free to live life anyway. I am able to accommodate nearly any schedule. My services are ideal for pet owners that need someone for a day or a few weeks at a time. I consider caring for your pet a premium service and you both deserve premium actions. With this in mind, you and your pets comfort are number one priority. If you decide that a hike is something that is good, hiking we will go. But if your pet requires different, lower activity needs, a relaxing walk in the neighborhood is in call. I can also offer obedience training for you pet.

About: I’ve taken care of mostly all types of pets possible. I’m experienced in walking,feeding,bathing and much more. I’ve had serval pets that I’ve taken care of for years. It would be a pleasure to take care of yours next! Full open availability! I can work anytime and days of the weeks including holidays with advanced notice. At least 2 day notice would be great! I will follow any instructions and rules you have for your pets. I will give any medication or special diet food that are required for your fur babies. I will take great care of your pets like their were my own.
About: I provide more than just basic care—I offer personalized attention, experience, and a genuine love for dogs of all ages and needs. What sets me apart is my background in both helping your puppy and senior dog care, allowing me to adapt to the unique needs of each dog I care for. Whether it’s helping a young pup learn basic commands and good leash manners, or ensuring an older dog stays comfortable, safe, and loved, I approach every visit with patience, compassion, and consistency. I’m also confident handling dogs with special medical or dietary needs. Your dog isn’t just a client—they’re part of the family while they’re with me. I treat each one with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily life. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening drop-ins. I limit the number of clients I take at one time so I can give each dog the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Being a pet sitter and walker isn’t just a side gig—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize in my routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and cared for. In my home, I make sure the space is free of hazards, fully enclosed, and suited to the pet’s size, energy level, and needs. I provide plenty of mental stimulation, safe toys, and cozy spots to relax. If pets have special routines or restrictions, I stick to them closely. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, leash rules, or household routines. I maintain clear communication, send updates and photos, and treat their home with the same care I give their pet. Above all, I aim to build trust through reliability, transparency, and genuine care.
About: Since I was a teen I've taken care of my neighbors' dogs and cats every now and then. I've house sat and done drop in visits so I have plenty of experience. I did a birds and small mammals internship at the Waco zoo in summer of 2023 so I have a bit of exotic animal care experience if it is needed. I'm working full time right now but so far the shifts aren't super long so I have time to feed and take out any pets that I need to take care of. I take very good care of any pets I need to. I pay attention to my own, and others. I will love on them, give you updates, and check in with any questions I have so I can provide the best care possible.
About: I love taking care of babies. Dogs make me happy. I have 2 of my own, but my love won't let me have anymore. This way I can love more. I've never seen a dog as just "a dog". My Border Collie saved me as much as I saved her. I think dogs bring a "peace" to their human. I've saved quite a lot, I use to find them, and if I couldn't find their human, I'd give them a home, show them love and then get to work finding the perfect home. I want to be able to spread love to as many pups as I can. If I'm tending to your baby. It's important that you know I'll love them and treat them as my own.
About: I have 4 years of experience with both cats and dogs! I have volunteered in vet clinics and shelters, as well as being vet technician. I have a dog named Draco who is 8 months, a dog named chip who is 2, and a cat named Cheddar who just turned 1! I can’t wait to give you and your pets the help they need! I have a part-time job as a server so I will have to work around my schedule with my job to help you out. I am free on Mondays and Wednesday as those are the days I don’t work but other days I mainly work nights. I’m willing to fix you into my schedule in a way that’s best for you! I make sure to always put the pets first. I have a routine of feeding and taking the animals on walks. I am willing to follow whichever routine you have set for your pets and guarantee their safety.
“Lillian is the BEST! We have used her many times for boarding and dog walking and she provides 10 out of 10 service. Ollie loves her and is super excited when he gets to see her. She also is great at accommodating late bookings. You will love her! Thank you Lillian”
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 two dogs of my own and I dog sit for friends and family. We have a small home but give plenty of out door fun all day long for those energetic puppies Weekends are mainly open for us. We would rather stay home with our pups then going out. If we do go anywhere our dogs are kennel trained. We will soon have a fenced yard but for now we use leashes for outdoor walks, runs and lots of play time to get that energy out of the puppies. Our dogs have their own futon and lots of toys to keep them busy indoors as well.
About: I am currently employed as a dog groomer and I have experience as a vet tech! I have had my two dogs for 8 years and I also have pet cats. I have been involved in the rescue community for years, saving dogs and cats and having them sent up north for adoptions. I have the patience required to care for all kinds of animals! I work as a dog groomer during the day, and I can bring my dogs to work with me because we have kennels separating each dog. I am off all day on Sundays. I am extremely patient when it comes to caring for my pets and others’ pets. I am extremely skilled caring for aggressive and timid dogs. One of my dogs has arthritis and hip dysplasia, so he is on constant medication and steroid injections. My other Pomeranian has urinary problems and anxiety, especially around any loud noises, so I have to be extremely patient when she wakes up at all hours of the morning when she is having an anxiety attack. One of my cats also has an enlarged heart, so he is on medication everyday for the rest of his life. But, I wouldn’t change them for anything in the world. Their traits and quirkiness makes them each special in their own way and I look forward to taking care of your pets and learning their different personalities! I work as a dog groomer during the day, so I am allowed to take my pets or my boarding dogs with me to work. We do not allow the dogs to interact for safety reasons, so each dog has their own large kennel. This way your fur babies are not left home alone all day, everyday. I have a fenced yard and friendly pets. I have a two bedroom home with a large living room area. If your dogs are not good with other dogs or cats, I can keep my pets in a separate room while giving your pups the space that they require to feel comfortable and safe. We allow our pets on the bed, so if your pup likes cuddles- there’s plenty to go around! I keep my pets as well as my boarding dogs on a strict schedule when it comes to eating and meds because consistency is key! I try to send pictures and videos every few days so that my clients can have peace of mind while their pups are being boarded and enjoy their trip! I also have cameras all over the inside and outside of my home so that if I am away I can constantly check on my pets and yours.
About: I always volunteer at local rescues and since I was a little girl I have always wanted a dog but have never been able to get one due to my mom being allergic so any chance I get I’m always pet sitting for family friends and coworkers and neighbors and I volunteer because taking care of them makes me feel as though they are my pets 🥰 I have a part time job that takes up just a little time in my day the rest I have so much free time and I love to be productive and active when I have free time. I would prefer taking care of the pets in the clients home just because it is more convenient for me because my mom is allergic to animals and so that doesn’t work out for me and I think it is more for the owner because they don’t have to pack anything or worry about bringing me anything for there pet.
About: I’ve always have had a huge heart for all animals since I was a kid. Now that we have adopted our baby I got to quit my job and stayhome.But I would love to do something I actually love and that is taking care of fur babies. I have 5 dogs and 1 cat ranging from pitbull, American Bully, miniature pincher, and two Frenchies. They are definitely spoiled for sure. I am available anytime except for overnight visits. My fur babies are very gentle with our son and he will learn to love animals as well.. I have a fenced backyard that our fur babies get to enjoy sunbathing in playing as much as they like. I will not be bringing any animals to our home just for the safety of not knowing how my dogs would like other dogs in their yard..

“Cindy was super awesome and accommodating. My pup was a handful but she was patient and handled her with love and kindness. Thanks again! Will keep you marked for future care.”
“Our dogs recently stayed with David and his family. We highly recommend them. We have 3 large dogs and one which has seizures and Addison’s disease. During their stay we received updates and photos that we really appreciated. We were comforted by the fact that His wife is a vet tech and in the event that our dog had a seizure she would know how to intervene if needed. We would not hesitate to board them with David and his family again.”

“Ford was very well taken care of and cared for during his stay. I will definitely have to return Ford here again in the future, I greatly appreciate everything.”
“If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and absolutely fantastic dog sitter, look no further! I recently left my 3 month old puppy with Jennifer S. and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she truly cares for animals. She took the time to learn about specific needs, and routines, which put my mind at ease right away. Throughout the stay, she provided regular updates, including photos about what my puppy had been up to—walks, playtime, and all the cuddles! It’s obvious that my puppy was well cared for and I think she was not happy to leave her new friends. Jennifer S. treats her clients’ pets as if they were her own, which is so reassuring. If you need someone who’s trustworthy, experienced, and goes the extra mile, I highly recommend Jennifer S.”

Soy mejor con mi español, ella fue muy linda persona conmigo y con mi Fiona, tuvo mucha diversión y se veían muy contenta siempre que me mandaba videos, sin duda volvería a dejar a Fiona con ella. No lo dudes Brooke es tu mejor opción.”
“Susana is awesome! I just moved to the area and needed a last minute sitter for my dog Kona. He stayed with her the entire day while I had to travel for work. She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. I could tell Kona was being well cared for and having a great time with Susana. When I realized I was going to be a little later than the original pick up time I messaged her and she was very accommodating and understanding. I will definitely be using her in the future and recommend her to others!”
