“I would give Heather 10 stars if it were possible! We’ve boarded our dog on several occasions and it’s always been a tough experience because she doesn’t eat very well and has seemed depressed while we’re gone. Our experience with Heather was the complete opposite; our dog was content and happy the entire time, something we didn’t think was possible while boarding 😅. Heather was very communicative and sent photos and videos of our dog every day while we were away. Her facility is also very clean and well kept, and feels warm and inviting as opposed to the large dog crates we’re accustomed to with other boarders. Heather obviously loves dogs and we were so grateful that she took such good care of our dog while we were gone for 10 days. I can’t recommend her and her services highly enough, this was hand down the BEST boarding experience we and our dog have ever had.”
“She was so good with my boy!! My dog is a lil toot but she had no problem catering to his special perks! She frequently sent me pictures and updates which made me feel 10x better being miles away! My dog felt very comfortable and safe at her house and he was always was able to exert his puppy energy! Highly recommended her as a reliable sitter ❤️❤️”
“I had such a great experience with my Skylar! She took amazing care of my pup while I was away and made me feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much and helped me relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid attention to all the little details. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”
“Our dog had an amazing time boarding with this family. We had a lot of updated pictures, she loved playing with Winnie, and we could tell that she was super comfortable with Aislyn and Carson as she was always cuddling with them. We really appreciated them allowing her on furniture including bed. It was like she never left home. 😊 Thank you!”
“We can't say enough good things about Jennifer! We are a repeat customer and she would be my top choice to watch my dog at any moment. We are so grateful that she took our dog leading up to the holidays. We could enjoy our trip knowing that our pet was in the best of hands!”
“This was our first time leaving our little dog with someone we didn’t know. Robin was fantastic, we went on a cruise and she sent an update within a couple our on how our little girl was doing along with pictures. And updated us again before we got back really put us at ease. Will definitely use her again, highly recommend.”
“Michelle was perfect to watch my puppy all week! She was so kind and sweet to my dog. She would even send photos of her everyday while we were gone and is very communicative. 10/10!”
“We used Kelly to watch our little Cassie for 5 nights. Each day Kelly sent pictures and videos. She helped us feel at ease being away from her and we knew Cassie was safe and having a blast! The icing on top was the beautiful gift Kelly put together for Cassie when she left. Thanks Kelly for such wonderful service. We will definitely be using you again soon!”
“Flor was awesome! Very accommodating, well communicated and very patient when it came to my dogs needs. Will definitely book with her again when we’re back in town.”
About: As a family very familiar with farms I've been around a multitude of animals from large livestock, goats to rabbits, cats and dogs from a very young age. I absolutely adore going above and beyond for your pet! Every animal I interact with is going to get the same premium treatment my pets do. I worked in a vet office as a veterinary technical assistant during my senior year as well. I am currently a student going to Texas A&M Galveston for my Bachelor's and Masters degrees, I plan to go fly planes into hurricanes for data collection! I have classes late into the day Tuesday and Wednesdays but besides that I am very available for early mornings before 10 and afternoons after 130! weekends are on a case by case basis. I live in a dorm but am more than happy to take your fur baby to the park or stay in your home and the safe environment they know!
“Elizabeth was amazing with our girls. She spoiled them rotten and kept us updated with pictures and videos. We were put at ease knowing the girls were having such a good time and being loved so well! We will definitely be rebooking with her!”
“Nya was the perfect sitter for our dog and cat while we went away for the weekend! From the beginning, she was extremely communicative and kept us updated with photos throughout their stay. Within the first hour we received a photo of our pup with the biggest smile on his face! We had more than enough peace of mind that they were in great hands. Thanks Nya!”
“Michelle is absolutely the best! She took amazing care of my fur baby and kept me updated with frequent messages and pictures. I could tell he was being loved and spoiled the entire time. He honestly didn’t even want to come home! I’d recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet. She’s truly one of a kind! 🐾❤️”
“Mia was very flexible and took care of my two animals, treating them as royalty. I had to extend my request a bit longer and she was able to accommodate. Received multiple updates during their stay as well as pictures, so I could definitely tell they were in great hands. Hands down, one of the best pet sitters I have dealt with since using this platform. THANK YOU, Mia B!!!”
“Angelo has become my first choice for a sitter for my boys. I don't worry about them at all when they stay with him. He is fantastic at staying in touch and I feel like he takes his responsibility seriously while enjoying the time he spends with his charges. Thank you, Angelo!!!”
“Shelby was so great with our doggo. She provided lots of picture updates and also general updates on how things were going which was so nice to have while we were away for peace of mind. Would highly recommend Shelby to take care of your pets and hope to have our dog spend time with her again next time!”
“Brownie’s stay with Caitlyn was fabulous! It was our first time to leave her with anyone, and she can be an anxious dog. But when we visited before the stay, we could see that the home’s vibe is very relaxed, and they said she was snuggly with them, and good with the other dogs. We really appreciate such good care!”

About: I’ve been around animals since the age of 8 and have cared for cats, dogs, and small animals throughout my life.

About: Hi there! My name is Haylie and I’m a nursing student at UTMB. I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud owner of nine amazing pups of all different breeds and sizes. Taking care of them every day has given me tons of experience with all kinds of personalities, routines, and special needs. I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. Since I was unable to bring my dogs to school with me, I’d love to help take care of others! Whether it’s playtime, walks, or snuggles, I’ll treat your pets like part of my own family! As a nursing student, I’ve learned how to balance responsibility, care, and time management — skills that carry over perfectly into pet sitting. I usually finish my classes around 4 p.m. most days, which gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is well looked after, loved, and secure while their owners are away

I would also be happy to walk your dog on the seawall or on the beach and will even send you pictures of your pup throughout the day!

I am a very reliable and responsible person and will always treat your animals and home with the utmost respect. I hope that you would choose me to take care of your fur babies and look forward to spoiling them with snuggles and long walks on the beach. Even timid rescue dogs take to me, as I feel that animals can sense good energy. :)
About: Let me be honest, years ago, I would have never considered myself a cat person. Then, my sister approached me to adopt her 8 year old calico and the rest is history. I feel in love with Doonie and we became the best of friends. She was the sweetest, and sometimes, most loving creature on the planet, and other times she just wanted to do her own thing and I can completely understand that. Simply, I can relate. Ha! Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their feline friends over the years. I easily adapt to the kitty and can be as hands on as he or she needs, but I can also read them well enough to understand when they do not want to be bothered. Following feeding instructions and cleaning a litter box will never be an issue. If administering medications is necessary, I have experience with this as well.
“Michelle was very easy to work with. She sent us a few pictures of our cat which helped reassure us she was safe and being loved on. We met Michelle outside her apartment for drop off and pick up.”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I grew up with a family dog, so caring for pets has always been part of my daily life. Throughout high school, I also worked at a boarding kennel where I gained hands-on experience caring for many different breeds, sizes, and personalities of dogs. During that time I helped with feeding schedules, cleaning, administering basic care, and making sure every dog got the attention and exercise they needed. Whether your dog needs walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, my goal is to make them feel comfortable and keep their routine as normal as possible. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I manage an Airbnb property and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, and plenty of attention. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or their own home. In both environments, I prioritize safety, communication, and consistency. I provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“This was my first time leaving our pup Salem, and Aislyn made the experience so easy and stress-free 🥹 She was super kind, sent lots of pictures and updates, and kept me reassured the whole time.

““We came to visit Galveston and decided to leave our furry baby with Lindsay for half a day. We were very happy with her care. Lindsay is very kind and friendly, and you can tell how sweet and loving she is with dogs. We would definitely leave her with her again.””
“Nya is amazing! I was in town for a week for work and needed help with my sweet, smart, & slightly skittish little dog. She watched him for 3 of my longest & busiest work days. She responded quickly to messages. It became clear from our conversations that she takes training seriously (with her own pup) and understands the value of exercise & play in building trust and giving my pup a full and joyous day. Nya is so sweet & patient, which is exactly what my pup needed. If I’m ever back in the West Palm Beach areas Nya will be my first call. I highly recommend her!”

I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, from small to large dogs, and I understand that each pet has their own personality and needs.

I truly enjoy being around animals and treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

I am mindful of security and privacy at all times, and I leave the home as I found it or better. My goal is to provide reliable, trustworthy care so pet parents feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins to ensure pets get the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I make sure each visit is unhurried and focused on your pet’s needs. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I respect your space while maintaining your pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, and behavior. I stay alert on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure pets are always secure.
About: I’ve raised young pups from bottle, have fostered and adopted, and we now have four rowdy but sweet dogs in our home! I frequently pet sit other family’s and friend’s pets, and I’ve also worked at a doggy boarding/day facility for years, where my own lab was used to assess other dog’s temperaments. I have experience handling small to large dogs in 15+ groups, plus administering medication and longer boarding stays. I offer OVERNIGHT care from 11pm to 11 am, and can offer additional daytime services on Mondays and Tuesdays only. If you work untraditional hours and would like peace of mind for you, and exceptional care for your loved ones, we may be a good fit! I have experience on handling dogs of various sizes, temperaments, and play styles. Everyone’s safety is very important to me and your dog’s experience is my top priority so I’ll do my best to accommodate their individual needs and likes :)
About: Hi. Our first dog when I was 6, aLab. An Irish Setter joined the family about 7 years later. Since then more dogs and then during the last 5 years some casual cats. I do some driving for my two sons, school, work, and such but the rest of my days are mine. Early AMs not a problem and preferably not later than 10PM. I am currently only offering dog walking and check in visits. Mentally healthy dogs like me. I'm also pretty good connecting with not-so-mentally-healthy dogs. I'm pretty empathic.

“I would give Heather 10 stars if it were possible! We’ve boarded our dog on several occasions and it’s always been a tough experience because she doesn’t eat very well and has seemed depressed while we’re gone. Our experience with Heather was the complete opposite; our dog was content and happy the entire time, something we didn’t think was possible while boarding 😅. Heather was very communicative and sent photos and videos of our dog every day while we were away. Her facility is also very clean and well kept, and feels warm and inviting as opposed to the large dog crates we’re accustomed to with other boarders. Heather obviously loves dogs and we were so grateful that she took such good care of our dog while we were gone for 10 days. I can’t recommend her and her services highly enough, this was hand down the BEST boarding experience we and our dog have ever had.”
“She was so good with my boy!! My dog is a lil toot but she had no problem catering to his special perks! She frequently sent me pictures and updates which made me feel 10x better being miles away! My dog felt very comfortable and safe at her house and he was always was able to exert his puppy energy! Highly recommended her as a reliable sitter ❤️❤️”
“I had such a great experience with my Skylar! She took amazing care of my pup while I was away and made me feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant so much and helped me relax knowing he was happy and well looked after. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and paid attention to all the little details. I’d absolutely trust her again in a heartbeat — highly recommend!”
“Our dog had an amazing time boarding with this family. We had a lot of updated pictures, she loved playing with Winnie, and we could tell that she was super comfortable with Aislyn and Carson as she was always cuddling with them. We really appreciated them allowing her on furniture including bed. It was like she never left home. 😊 Thank you!”
“We can't say enough good things about Jennifer! We are a repeat customer and she would be my top choice to watch my dog at any moment. We are so grateful that she took our dog leading up to the holidays. We could enjoy our trip knowing that our pet was in the best of hands!”
“Flor was awesome! Very accommodating, well communicated and very patient when it came to my dogs needs. Will definitely book with her again when we’re back in town.”
About: As a family very familiar with farms I've been around a multitude of animals from large livestock, goats to rabbits, cats and dogs from a very young age. I absolutely adore going above and beyond for your pet! Every animal I interact with is going to get the same premium treatment my pets do. I worked in a vet office as a veterinary technical assistant during my senior year as well. I am currently a student going to Texas A&M Galveston for my Bachelor's and Masters degrees, I plan to go fly planes into hurricanes for data collection! I have classes late into the day Tuesday and Wednesdays but besides that I am very available for early mornings before 10 and afternoons after 130! weekends are on a case by case basis. I live in a dorm but am more than happy to take your fur baby to the park or stay in your home and the safe environment they know!
“Elizabeth was amazing with our girls. She spoiled them rotten and kept us updated with pictures and videos. We were put at ease knowing the girls were having such a good time and being loved so well! We will definitely be rebooking with her!”
“Nya was the perfect sitter for our dog and cat while we went away for the weekend! From the beginning, she was extremely communicative and kept us updated with photos throughout their stay. Within the first hour we received a photo of our pup with the biggest smile on his face! We had more than enough peace of mind that they were in great hands. Thanks Nya!”
“Michelle is absolutely the best! She took amazing care of my fur baby and kept me updated with frequent messages and pictures. I could tell he was being loved and spoiled the entire time. He honestly didn’t even want to come home! I’d recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet. She’s truly one of a kind! 🐾❤️”
“Mia was very flexible and took care of my two animals, treating them as royalty. I had to extend my request a bit longer and she was able to accommodate. Received multiple updates during their stay as well as pictures, so I could definitely tell they were in great hands. Hands down, one of the best pet sitters I have dealt with since using this platform. THANK YOU, Mia B!!!”
“Angelo has become my first choice for a sitter for my boys. I don't worry about them at all when they stay with him. He is fantastic at staying in touch and I feel like he takes his responsibility seriously while enjoying the time he spends with his charges. Thank you, Angelo!!!”
“Shelby was so great with our doggo. She provided lots of picture updates and also general updates on how things were going which was so nice to have while we were away for peace of mind. Would highly recommend Shelby to take care of your pets and hope to have our dog spend time with her again next time!”
“Thank you for the last minute help taking in our pups, Ashley did an awesome job our dogs seemed to get along with her dog and family, and looked happy and relaxed. We appreciated the consistent and open communication! Thanks again!”
