“5 stars isn't enough! Dorothy was absolutely fantastic with our three dogs, a Yorkie, a Husky, and a German Shepherd, during our 4-day trip. Managing three different personalities is no small task, but her regular updates and photos kept our minds completely at ease while away from home. When we picked up the doggos, we could easily tell that they had been genuinely loved and well cared for. Dorothy treats your pets like her own, and we will definitely be booking with her again. Very highly recommended!”

She sent regular updates with photos which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying. My dog was happy, healthy, and clearly very well taken care of. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thank you, Arshawna, for your fantastic care and dedication! Highly recommended!”

“Roshonda was absolutely amazing with my dog. She took exceptional care of him and truly went above and beyond. She surprised him with the sweetest gift bag full of snacks, took beautiful photos that I will cherish forever, and treated him with so much love and attention. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. He was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. Roshonda is thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely loves dogs.

“Krysta took good care of my 2 cats for a full week and even took care of watering my plants for me! She sent updates on any changes that might have occurred between visits; I always knew that my animals were safe and well taken care of. So glad she was here to take care of them while I was away.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life. As an adult, I’ve adopted a cat and dog from a local animal shelter and hope to foster in the near future. I will work my day job M-F so will spend my weekends taking care of furry friends. Occasionally, I will make my weekdays available when I have the opportunity to do so. I have taken care of neighbor’s pets for years while they are gone on vacation and have gone above and beyond in taking their dogs for walks and providing them with necessary attention. With cats, I have also cleaned litter boxes, played with them, and provided several updates for their parents.
About: I have always had several dogs in my home growing up, am a dog lover at heart, and miss my pups. I work in Waco so I am available anywhere between Waco and temple!

About: I’ve taken care of many pets from small dogs to big dogs. My sister works in the vet field and has came home with a million rescue dogs to take care. I learned how each dog/ breed is unique and that each provides different care which is important. I’m currently a SAHM! So I give pets a lot of playtime. Try to take them on daily walks around 6 with the family :) I have a fenced backyard so dogs can go out and enjoy themselves. Since I have a kid, everything in my home is child proof, so they will both be safe from getting hurt

I have plenty of time to love on your fur babies. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I have a fenced yard and one friendly pup and a homeschooled daughter to keep your fur babies company.

I play with them to get their attention in and take them on walks at least once a day !im the only person in house and a fully fenced back yard. Plenty of space to run outside when needed but they will be inside if not playing or using bathroom breaks

About: While I’ve been around dogs for over 10 years, most of my hands-on care experience comes from being a full-time mama—which means I’m no stranger to routines, messes, or giving lots of love and attention! I also work full-time from home, so your pup won’t be left alone and will get plenty of care, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. What really sets me apart is that we live a low-tox lifestyle—so my home is a clean, pet-safe space free of harsh chemicals and full of love. Your dog will be treated like family here, surrounded by sweet kids, fresh air, and a relaxed, playful environment. Whether they need a walk, a nap buddy, or a consistent routine, I’ve got it covered—just like I do for my own little crew. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to be with your pup all day.

About: Hey there! My name is Gabby and live out in McGregor Tx. Just down the highway from Woodway. My daycare services are perfect for dogs that are not great in a large dog setting and need more personal one to one setting in which they can relax and enjoy their day away from their owners without all the pressure and stress of a multi dog play setting. I have a private backyard with access to long country walks and private walking trails. You can expect your dog to receive a lunch, walk, play time and tons of cuddles upon every stay. Boarders recieve Breakfast and Dinner (owner provided) as well as a snack. I offer regular dog walks and drop ins for the dogs unable to come over personally or who may not be the best in a group. Doggy walks will always be a minimum mile (unless specified otherwise by the owner) and Drop-ins will include poop cleanups, play time and light housework if desired. I can also offer some quick obedience lessons if desired which just includes the basic doggy mind push-ups, sit, down, stay, come repeated a few times. I use positive reinforcement with treats and verbal cues. Please let me know if your dog has any medical requirements, a special diet or any allergies. I'm able to administer any medications as needed. Also am able to do basic grooming (nails, bathing, genital area clean up, matts). As well as light housework (dishes, laundry, ect.) I'm currently a full time pet mama so my days are spent caring for my own little flock of animals. I currently have my own dog I've trained to be a successful hunting dog as well as fancy chickens that live in the coop in the back. I also have a wide variety of tanked pets including a Leopard Gecko, Texas Rat Snake, Hamster and Betta fish so exotic pet care is also something I can provide for any herp and aquarium owners out there thinking about how they could manage a vacation. I wake up around 5am everyday to walk my Terrier cross and let him stretch his legs first thing. We walk at least a mile before I come home and check on my Chickens, Leopard Gecko, Hamster and Snake. I feed and clean water dishes. Then go and clean the fish tank and use the water to water the garden.

About: **Took a couple years off after re-locating from Washington state because we were renters. We are now home owners again and offering services!** Experienced, reliable, and passionate about pet care. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes and offer drop-in visits, walks, potty breaks, feeding, medication administration, and personalized care based on your pet’s needs. I’m currently focusing on doggy daycare, drop-ins and walks and look forward to providing safe, loving care while you’re away. Your pet will be treated like family! For those interested in doggy daycare and boarding (I will be opening up my boarding services in August), my home offers a fully fenced yard on an acre! Plenty of room for your pup to follow their nose safely, get their zoomies out, chase a ball or simply just lay outside and soak up some sunshine ☀️
About: I have taken care of many animals since a very young age. I am from the south so I’ve taken care of everything from cats and dogs to horses and donkeys. I love all animals no matter the kind or size, I do not discriminate. I fully believe to treat your fur babies like you would your own children so I can assure you they will be spoiled and cared for by me! I am a stay at home wife and I am home everyday of the week unless I am grocery shopping or a doctors appointment. My husbands in the army and he has to leave at times and I haven’t made many friends since I’ve been here so a couple of furry friends would be amazing to have around. My pets are very well taken care of. I have a cat named Binx and a dog named June. They are both very chill and relaxed. June is an old girl and she is spoiled. She has her own bed setup (pillows and all) and she gets fed twice a day and gets many treats, hugs, kisses, and rubs. Binx is very spoiled as well. She is relaxed around other dogs but mostly hides and sleeps for most of the day. She gets fed plenty and she is always trying to play with her dad. She is declawed so don’t worry about your pups or cats getting hurt by our babies! I will take great care of other animals like I do mine.
“Last-minute booking with her and she kept me updated about Coco the whole time! After daycare, Coco came home and went straight to nap—she must’ve had such a fun, playful day. Definitely booking with her again ❤️”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. My experience ranges from newborn puppies/kitties to senior animals as well. When I was 16, I was working at a ranch as a dog/puppy tech handler. I helped clean, groom, and train miniature Australian Shepherds. As well as I handled mama dogs and their babies! While there, I also fed a feral colony and acquainted myself with some of the barn animals (Horses, cows, bulls). Over the years, I have fostered and bottle-fed various litters of puppies and kittens. Now I own 5 cats and 2 dogs. I am comfortable with big or small animals! I look forward to caring for y'all! Currently, I am taking courses for medical coding/billing for AAPC. So my classes are every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 pm to 8 pm. But other than that timeframe, I am completely flexible! I do prefer to be able to go to the client's home as I feel that is what most pets are more comfortable with. Whether you have cameras or not, it is not a problem. Any type of special latches, gates, key codes, etc. Is not a problem either. Animals hold a very special place in my heart, so rest assured, your baby will be my baby.

“My baby boy LOVEEESSS Suzanne! She always brings him treats and goes on mile long walks that he absolutely enjoys. She is like a part of our family and we are blessed to have her.”

About: I am a stay at home homesteader that has three rescue doggos that live inside and a guardian livestock dog that spends her days taking care of the farm. We have hatched, raised and spend our days giving all the snacks to almost 50 chickens, 17 guineas, and 6 ducks. We have 2 goats one of which is about to give us a third. I know how hard it can be the travel with peace of mind without your babies with you, and I’d love to be able to help people enjoy your time away from home. Being able to set my own schedule while caring for other animals will allow me the ability to still care for my own animals without pulling time from them. I will do my very best to keep your fur babies routines exactly the same, and love and care for them like I love and care for my own babies.
About: I am Deaf & love animals. We have 4 pets. 2 dogs (Faye & Bella - sweet girls!), & 2 cats (Mister & Garfield - our boys!) I am willing to house sit any animals of any sizes/kind. I also know how to give dogs oral medications and such. I am willing to travel about 50 miles from my house to the location for services. Check out the calendar for my availability. Thank you for looking at my profile. If you have any questions, please contact me at anytime! Available anytime but would like to know ahead of time so I can accommodate with my schedule since I work from home running 3 businesses. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that are freely roaming around my house. If necessary, I can come to your place if you’re more comfortable with that.

About: I consider myself the perfect caregiver. Flexible schedule, lots of love, high energy. With references! I have been dog/house sitting for friends regularly for a few years, and a pet enthusiast/caregiver my entire life! I have experience with multiple types of animals. I am a part-time stylist looking to fill my extra time getting paid for something I love to do. My two Siamese cats, Pixie & Dusty, are pretty low maintenance. They have dry food/water dispensers and get wet food as a “treat” at dinner time. My Great Dane puppy, Memphis, needs a little bit more of my time. If I stay over at your house, I need to make sure my dog is kenneled by 8pm, and let out the next morning no later than 6:30am. My schedule is very flexible otherwise! At client’s homes I always follow instructions carefully. I prefer to have a few notes of written instructions to reference. Instructions can be printed out or sent to my phone. My animals are pretty low-maintenance, so if I end up sitting locally at a clients home, it’s not a lot of trouble. I don’t mind sleeping/cuddling with your furbaby at night. ❤️

I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thank you, Arshawna, for your fantastic care and dedication! Highly recommended!”

“Roshonda was absolutely amazing with my dog. She took exceptional care of him and truly went above and beyond. She surprised him with the sweetest gift bag full of snacks, took beautiful photos that I will cherish forever, and treated him with so much love and attention. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. He was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. Roshonda is thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely loves dogs. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding dog sitter.”

“Andrea was fantastic! She was reliable, caring, and really connected with my pet. I felt completely at ease, knowing my furry friend was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her!"”

“Jessica was always responsive while my Tucker stayed with her, she sent me updates and photos, I would definitely recommend her for your sitter needs. She was very considerate of my request, and drop off and pick up was easy”

“Rachunda took excellent care of my baby. When I got there to pick her up her tail was just a wagging and that lets me know Minkah was comfortable with her surroundings. She was also playful with the other dogs. 10/10 would recommend her to friends and family. I will also use her again for my pet sitter.”

“Heather was amazing ! She was extremely accommodating. I was able to book a boarding last minute due to a last minute flight . The first day my babyboy was freaking out being in a new environment and she did everything possible to make him feel comfortable and updating me along the entire way. She also sent vids and a great amount of pictures i loved. I would highly recommend to book with heather. I think she did amazing caring for my dog knowing she had other dogs she was already sitting for !”

“Excellent communication!! Quick and thorough responses. I got lots of photos and an update each day. My dog was happy and playing when I picked her up. I would definitely book with Angie again!”
