About: I've had so so so many cats over the years and have been around cats as long as I can remember. My own cat is my age and we were born around the same time of year and he's still a very chipper pet. Grumpy old man sometimes but I love him. I've owned 3 cats at once and know how hard it can be to have multiple pets causing commotion. I dont mind cleaning up after them either. I have a mini carpet shampooer I do not mind taking with me if needed.

About: I'm an animal lover! I always had animals growing up; having cats & dogs. Also had a guinea pig, a chinchilla, several birds, a turtle, bunnies and bearded dragons. Our furbabies are like our children! I am a professional petsitter, fostering dogs & cats, training them and rescuing animals. Currently, I have 4 cats (mine) & 2 bearded dragons and 1 small dog (mom's). I have experiences with seniors and blind furbabies. I also have experiences dealing with flight risk, severe anxiety pets and oral medication as well as injections. **DROP-IN VISIT** I live in Taylor, I can travel to Hutto, Granger, southeast of GT, East of Round Rock, Thorndale and Coupland. **BOARDING - Requirements: * Non-aggressive/low/medium energy (must be ok with other pets) * 100% house-trained includes trained to not chew on household items * Current on all vaccinations and flea prevention * Male felines must be neutered I ask you to provide food and bedding for your furbabies because every pet is different, has different lifestyles and eating/sleeping habits, toys. I have plenty of bowls and plenty of crates (XS, S, M, L, XL & XXL) including a 3 tier crate (for cats) if needed. My schedule is flexible, I'm almost always home. If weather permits, I enjoy going out for long hikes or going to parks/neighborhood for walks. ** Boarding & Housesitting - I'm available 7 days a week. The potty break/meal schedule is flexible on my end. They can go out often for potty breaks, to explore, fetch, and enjoy the sun as they please. Also, will provide outdoor play with engagement of other pups and can do some training as well. ** Housesitting - I will spend the nights with them. Sometimes I will be away for a few hours unless you instruct me for a specific time, such as how long it is ok to leave your pets alone, I will follow your preference. They are welcome to tag along for the ride if they enjoy car rides. -- During my free time I volunteer as a pet rescue member with Trapping, Rescue and Pet Recovery Service (TRAPRS), a non-profit organization. I have been with TRAPRS since they were founded in 2019. When I'm scheduled to pet sit, I will not be available to do a rescue. Only time I'll be away is if someone is able to secure an animal, Ill be out for a quick scan for microchip or if I'm scheduled to drop-in to visit other clients' homes. (I want to be transparent about what I do). I know it can be stressful leaving your family member with a stranger, but you can be confident that your furbaby/ies will be treated as one of the family; given plenty of love, hugs, belly scratches, treats, play time and walks during their stay. I have a fenced yard for your pup(s) to explore, do their business, enjoy the fresh air & flirt with the sun, and play fetch. I will send photos and videos of your furbaby having a great time! You are welcome to reach out to check on them at any time. They will be in good paws!

“Brandon watched my 4 month old pup for the day and did a great job. As soon as I dropped her off she was running and playing. Brandon was easy to communicate with and the drop off and pick up was super simple. I’d definitely book Brandon again when I’m looking for someone to watch my husky pup.”

About: I'm a veterinary technician, I have 20 yrs experience in taking care of dogs and cats. I am CPR certified and I can administer medications if needed. Besides my medical background as a animal lover, I can offer great companionship to your best friend while your gone. I currently have a 7 month old Australian shepherd who loves to play and can also offer friendship. I've been taking care of my friends and family's pets while they go on vacation since I was 19 yrs old. I'm confident in my ability to take care of dogs. I'm currently not working and staying home with our kids and animals. I walk our dog in the morning then hang out the rest of the day, my kids play with our dog. I live on 5 acres but we have fenced off an area behind our house for our dog and goats. I have a plastic kid pool to help them stay cool in the summer. I typically feed my pets twice a day and a treat mid-day. My house can get pretty loud with my kids yell and screaming when then play. My kids are 10 yr (son) and 9 yrs(daughter) old, I have a husband who loves to play with the kids and dog, it can get a little crazy at our house. I also have a 7 month old mini Australian shepherd, she is a shy girl at first but then gets crazy when she decides she likes you. I have 5 cats some like dogs and some tolerate them and just judge. I also have 2 goats in the backyard, they are very nice but will give a warning if something happens that they don't like. All my pets have vaccines and have been dewormed.

About: Hi, I’m Farrah! I’m happy to offer my home as a cozy getaway for your furbaby, complete with plenty of walks, toys, attention, and endless pets while they wait for you to return. I have six years of pet care experience, including nearly two years as a kennel technician in a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I've cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets that need extra love. My experience also includes studies in small animal management, veterinary science, equine science, dog grooming and pet first aid. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I work from home full time, so your pets will have lots of attention throughout the day! Between multiple walks, playtime, cuddles, naps, and potty breaks whenever they need them, I make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re with me. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, have access to frequent walks (occasionally walks on nearby trails in the fall weather) and potty breaks, and are always supervised while in my care. I only take a small number of pets at a time so I can make sure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and stress free throughout their stay.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog owner and caregiver with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from small (3 lbs) to medium/large (up to 60 lbs), including puppies as young as 4 months and senior dogs requiring medication and extra care. I work fully remote, which means your dog will have consistent supervision and won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and a steady routine throughout the day. I live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a large fenced yard where your dog can safely play and relax. I’m very attentive to routines, comfort, and safety, and I treat every pet like my own. I also have experience preparing homemade dog treats, so I’m always mindful of what pets consume and their overall well-being. I have my own dog, Bo, who is almost 15 and still healthy, active, and loves to run and jump around — which I truly believe comes from consistent care, attention, and a loving environment. Your pet will be in a calm, loving, and structured environment while you’re away — with plenty of attention, care, and affection. I am a full time professional and working remotely. I walk my 14.5 yr old, 12lb furbaby 3-4 times daily and enjoy the spending the outdoors time with my Bo and make him new friends. I treat every pet like my own and focus on creating a safe, stress-free environment. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and has a large fenced yard for safe outdoor play. Pets are always supervised outside and never left unattended. Because I work from home, your pet will have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any medications or special care. If I’m in your home, I keep your pet’s routine consistent and your space respected. I also provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hi, I’m Britt! Caring for animals has always been a source of peace and joy for me. I’ve been fortunate to care for both people and pets ranging from infants to furry companionship,but there’s something special about the unconditional love and trust that animals offer. Over the years, I’ve gained experience through hands on pet care and volunteering at a local animal shelter, where I supported the well being of dogs, cats, and other rescues. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment for pets, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just giving them the attention they crave, I treat every animal as if they were my own. For me, it’s a passion that brings balance and happiness to my life. I’m excited to provide attentive, thoughtful care to your beloved pets!🐾✨ My daily and weekly schedule revolves around ensuring pets get the love and attention they need while balancing their routines with my own. Each day starts with feeding and hydration, followed by engaging activities like walks in the morning or exploring nearby parks. Throughout the week, I dedicate time to interactive games and mental stimulation, such as puzzles or sniffing activities for dogs, and playful toys for cats. I prioritize keeping track of each pet's unique needs—whether it’s medications, exercise preferences, or calming techniques for nervous pets. Home visits allow me to adapt to their environments, offering tailored care that mirrors their usual habits. My goal is to integrate their care into my routine seamlessly, balancing work and personal time with being their reliable companion. In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to their needs. I ensure they have plenty of space to relax and play, along with a cozy area for resting. Their feeding and exercise schedules will mirror their normal routine as closely as possible, and I'll provide enrichment activities like interactive toys or sniffing games to keep them happy and engaged. For pets who need a little extra attention, I offer calm reassurance and maintain a peaceful atmosphere to help them feel at ease. In the Client's Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and sense of familiarity. I’ll follow instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, and any special needs or medications. I also keep the home clean and tidy, ensuring that toys, bedding, and food areas are in good condition. If the pet enjoys walks, I’ll take them out exploring, providing physical activity and mental stimulation. My goal is to make pets feel secure and cared for, as if they were with a trusted friend.

I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages during their stay.

They clearly love dogs, and it really shows in the way they cared for him. Ozzy had such a great time that I could tell he missed them as soon as we got home. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they gave him!”
“I cannot express enough gratitude for the way my Felicity was cared for while I was away. From our very first interaction, I felt seen and understood. She immediately recognized that Felicity is not “just a pet” but truly a member of my family. Her warmth, respect, and attentiveness embraced both my emotions and Felicity’s needs, making me feel completely at peace while traveling. The care and love she gave Felicity went far beyond expectation ( exactly what my heart needed,) honoring her with the dignity, affection, and yhe love she deserves. Truly an incredible experience with someone I wholeheartedly trust. I feel as though I have found my baby’s forever caregiver. A second family I can trust whenever she needs care. ❤️ Don’t stress & book. Your baby will be in the best of hands ❤️”
