“Attentive boarding provided by Megan! Nine year old daschund/chihuahua rescue was treated like family. Excellent daily communication with pictures provided reassuring updates for this first-time Rover user. Highly recommend Megan for your special pet.”
“Zoey is super high energy and Mikayla & Stephen go above and beyond expectations to love her and keep her active and having fun! Zoey loves getting to play with their children and gets treated like one herself there! Thank you so much for helping me out with my wild girl! -Jack”
“Fantastic couple and animal family to leave your dog with. Roxy enjoyed herself. The daily pictures of Roxy and contact by Tracy put my mind at ease. Highly recommended and will be a repeat customer.”
“Paul was able to take in our dog in a last minute notice. He is a kind person and knows how to take care of a dog. Our dog was a little nervous when not home but he handled very well. If we would need a rover service in area again, we would come back to Paul.”
“We weren’t sure how to feel leaving our kitten with a stranger, but Arienne assured us he was in good hands. She took such good care of him and sent us updates each day. He seemed to have a lot of fun with her and her girls. We will definitely consider her again when we need to board Plinko!”
“Lezlie is great! Highly recommend! I had to extend my pups stay but Lezlie was so accommodating and easy to communicate with. My pup Mila has a blast and I will definitely have Lezlie watch her again!:)”
“Ashley is always our top choice for pet care. Our boys absolutely adore her—just hearing the familiar bumpy road lets them know exactly where they’re going. They’re always excited to see Ashley and her children, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy they are in her care. I especially appreciate the opportunity they have to interact with other dogs in a safe, loving environment. I never have to worry when they’re with her. Highly recommend!”
“Peyton was phenomenal! She was punctual with pick up and drop off!! We have a puppy and she was very attentive to his needs as well as his wants..She is highly recommended and we will use her services whenever she is needed!”
About: I have the ability to treat your fur babies just as I treat my own- like family. I'm a mom with a son who can be your dog's best stand in pal while you're away. I have a dog friendly vehicle that can take your babies to the park for a nice change of scenery. I also have experience walking larger dogs and puppies that pull on the leash. If your dogs got it, I can handle it! I have deshedding brushes and nail clippers for larger and smaller sized dog if your pup needs a little extra TLC between groomer visits. I also have harnesses in small-large sizes and all kinds leashes adequate for your dog's learning level for on leash walks. I've been around dogs my whole life and know what it takes to become a great, and trustworthy friend for your pup. My schedule is open mainly on the weekends and weekday evenings. Thank you for your consideration ☺️! I'm currently in school full time, so evenings are dedicated family and pet care time for play and dinner with extra potty breaks worked in as needed. Whether you have a yard or not, I am totally prepared for creating a fun and enriching visit for your animals. I have Medium and Large sized Chuck-It toys for fetch, ropes for tug-of-war, and also various types of cat toys for play time. I am capable of keeping your fur babies feeding and potty schedule as normal as possible to minimize their stress while you're away!
“MaryJane was fantastic taking care of our two small dogs for an extended boarding (3 weeks total). She often went pictures and videos to show they were doing well, and she communicated any concerns she had. Our dogs loved her and her family too! We will reach out again if we need dog sitting in the future :) Thank you very much!!”
About: I was 12 when I got my first dog, a cocker spaniel named Megara. My parents quickly put me in charge of her, and caring for her taught me to put another's needs before my own. She gave me lifelong lessons about the love and loyalty between a pet and their owner. Today I have an Old English Sheepdog named Delphi. Other owners at the dog park often comment on how sweet she is, and she has grown into a great older sister to our family dog, Luna (who lives with my family). Between the two of them, I am comfortable with large breeds and with the extra patience senior dogs need. I have also dog sat regularly for friends, so I am used to stepping into someone else's routine and keeping their dog on it. I am very outdoorsy on top of that, so your dog will get real walks, not a quick trip around the block. As a PhD student, I work from home most of the day. My time on campus is limited to a few classes, my TA hours, and a student association meeting every other week, so I am home and available far more than someone on a standard nine to five. That flexibility is a big part of why I got Delphi at the start of my PhD. She has always had someone around to take her out during the day, and I can offer your dog the same. Before any payments or booking, I would like to set up a meet and greet so I can see how your dog responds to me. It tells me a lot, whether they warm up right away or need space, and it means the first day is not the first time we have met. This doesn't have to be long but it is a nice first impression to the dog. In my home, your dog will not be alone. Delphi is here as company, and I introduce new dogs to her slowly and on neutral ground so the first meeting goes well for both of them (like a local dog park). I live in a quiet, secure apartment community with an on-site dog park and an open field next door, plus several trails within walking distance, so your dog gets real exercise rather than being cooped up all day. Delphi is not crate trained and has free run of the apartment, but I am happy to crate your dog if that is part of their routine. Just bring the crate and let me know the schedule you use. In your home, I stick to your dog's routine rather than imposing my own. I follow your feeding times, walk schedule, and house rules, keep dogs leashed anywhere that is not fenced, and send photo updates so you know how the day went. If anything seems off with your dog, I contact you right away, and I am prepared to drive them to a vet if it cannot wait.
“So thankful to Jessica for taking such good care of Blu! She sent pics and updates daily for us. She was very patient with him being nervous his first night. I know he played non stop with his new buddies. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs and I will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you so much from Dani & Blu!”
About: Animals have been my entire life and passion. I grew up caring for them and have extensive, hands-on experience handling all types of personalities, sizes, and needs. My background includes working on a ranch where I managed boarding operations and administered medical care for both large and small animals. I am deeply committed to animal welfare. I have also spent years volunteering with multiple city Trap-Neuter-Return/Release (TNR) programs, which taught me how to safely handle anxious or fearful animals with patience and respect. I love all animals and treat every guest like family. Your pet will be staying in a home that is truly optimized for their safety and well-being.I work from home full-time with a highly flexible schedule, which gives me 24/7 availability. I take frequent breaks throughout the day to play, walk, and monitor your pet, ensuring constant supervision. Thanks to my ranch and TNR background, I have expert handling skills and understand animal behavior well. I can comfortably handle high-energy or shy pets, and I am fully confident administering oral medications, injections, or following strict medical routines.Because I work from the comfort of my home, your pet will rarely be left alone. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. Whether your pet needs a high-energy day of fetch or a quiet, comfortable space to snooze next to my desk, I easily adapt to their specific schedule and habits. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. My schedule allows me to stay with your pet almost 24/7, ensuring they are rarely left alone. Throughout the workday, I have a set routine where I take three 15-minute breaks and one full 1-hour break. I use this time to focus completely on your pet by taking them on walks, playing, or giving them potty breaks. Because my job keeps me at my desk, your pet can sleep or relax right in the same room with me all day, or they can rest in a separate room if they prefer quiet time. On weekends and evenings, my schedule is completely open for longer walks, grooming, and extra socialization. I tailor my care entirely to the unique needs of each animal, whether they are staying with me or if I am visiting your home. Thanks to my experience working on a ranch and volunteering with city trap-neuter-return programs, I am highly skilled in reading animal behavior and handling fearful, anxious, or high-energy pets. I maintain strict safety protocols, double-check that all gates and doors are secure, and follow your exact feeding and exercise instructions. If your pet has medical needs, I am fully qualified to administer oral medications and injections safely. I keep a clean, stress-free environment and adapt the daily setup based on your preferences and what fits the specific service you book.
“Robert did a fantastic job of taking care of Lakshman during our Thanksgiving trip. Lakshman was not the easiest dog to take care of because he was recently rescued from the Aggieland Humane Society and still had some behavioral issues. Nonetheless, Robert was understanding of Lakshman's needs and kept me posted regularly during our trip. I highly recommend Robert to take care of your dog.”
“Makayla was a really good sitter!! Easy to communicate and be on time to be outside of the door to welcome my pet. Will be back every time I am out of the town.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded not just by animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all personalities, temperaments, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine love. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work outside the home, but I work close by where coming home at lunchtime to check on or check on furry friend it’s not a problem. I have a fenced in yard and I am very careful to keep the doors closed. I am responsible and aware of things going on around me.
“Gisela and her family were great with Winston. He felt at home and was comfortable during his stay. We hope to book with Gisela again next time we are in College Station!”

“I am so grateful to Cody Lynn for caring for my two Chihuahuas and providing great support! Right from our first meeting I knew Cody is a lover of fur babies and that my girls would be in great hands! Cody asked great questions about personality, specific care requirements, their needs as older pups, and the best way to love them well. Her updates were timely and detailed, the pics she shared gave me such assurance knowing my girls were in good hands and well cared for - thank you Cody Lynn!!!❤️”
“I absolutely love and Cherish you, Rosa. My cat is not the easiest. She can be stand-offish, and no catsitter before Rosa has ever been able to make contact. But Bambi became Rosa's best friend in 2 days (I am still in shock and awe). The best at the job!!!”
About: I have had a passion for animal care since I was young and have only grown in experience with time. I previously worked in an animal shelter and have experience handling high-energy puppies to couch-potato seniors. I would foster older dogs while working there and am adept at creating a comfortable space for pups that struggle with changes. I look forward to getting to know your dog and personalizing their care to their needs. I am available anytime during weekends. During weekdays, I am free in the mornings and afternoons, with plenty of time to give your pup the individual attention they need. I am happy to provide whatever care is necessary to keep them healthy and happy in their home. I am available for visits to provide feeding, water, exercise, and that dose of attention that every pup needs. During visits, I'll provide updates and photos so that you can be sure they are getting the attention and care they deserve

“Silas was absolutely great! It was my first time leaving my cat with someone else, and he sent pictures everyday which made me feel a lot better. He was ultra-accomodating of my weird time constraints as well, and in general was a joy to interact with. My cat came back happy and healthy like I never left.”

About: I am an A&M graduate! I have always grown up with all kinds of pets in my house and have always been an animal lover. I have been helping family and friends care for dogs, cats, rodents, fish, reptiles and farm animals for many years. I grew up involved in FFA raising pigs and cattle and have a pet ball python, two dogs and a cat myself. I hope to be a trusted caregiver for your pet babies! I am currently a stay at home wife (and pet mom) looking to bring in some extra income and available at all times to care for your pets!

“Peyton did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of Bohdi! From the moment we connected, Peyton was professional, attentive, and clearly loves animals. Bohdi can be a bit particular at times, but Peyton handled everything with patience and care, making sure he felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication—it gave me complete peace of mind knowing Bohdi was in such good hands. It’s clear Peyton goes above and beyond, not just meeting expectations but truly caring for pets as if they were their own. When I returned, Bohdi was relaxed, well cared for, and clearly had a great experience. I would absolutely trust Peyton again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of many sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including my own and those of friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and administering medications if needed. I focus on keeping dogs safe, active, and happy while maintaining their usual routines so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I am a grad student in pharmacy school. However, I surprisingly have a lot of time on my hands. My weekends are usually free and I’m usually home studying during the week so I have plenty of time to love and care for your furry friends! I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where your dog will feel safe and comfortable. I follow each dog’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.

In the mean time, I have the opportunity to walk for fitness for myself, and to take care of your pet walking them too for you. The neighborhood I live in is a safe neighborhood. I hardly read on KBTX about any crime in the area. Also, there is plenty of sidewalks throughout the neighborhood to walk on and no one bothers you while walking.

About: Hi! My name is Gemma, and I am currently a student at Texas A&M University majoring in Ecology and Conservation Biology with a concentration in Zoology. I plan to attend vet school and become a conservation veterinarian in the future. I have had cats my entire life and have experience caring for dogs as well, so I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I also volunteer with local animal organizations including LAPS and Paws and Claws, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for animals of different personalities and needs. I truly love animals and would be so excited to care for your fur babies like they are my own! During the summer, I have lots of free time and flexibility for pet care.

About: I grew up on a small farm, so got to see the full cycle or life across many species. As a teen, I was the go-to pet sitter amongst my mom's co-workers. I've cared for the usual, like dogs and cats, as well as amphibians, crustaceans, birds and livestock! Professionally, I worked as a dog groomer, and enjoyed that job like no other! I have experience in caring for senior pets on strict medication regimens as well as wound-care. It would be my pleasure to get to know you and your fur-babies, and to provide your pets with the same level of love, care and structure that I give to my own dog and cats at home. I'm a student and mom, and am fortunate to have a good community around me who make taking care of pets possible. I live in walking distance of campus, so can drop in on boarded friends in between classes. My school schedule is broken into nice chunks, allowing me a few hours in between each class to do drop-ins or hang out with my pet-sitting clients. We live in a home with a spacious back yard that is fully fenced. I have one medium sized dog, who can either play with your pup, or be kept separated, depending on your dog's preferences. In your home, I will ensure your pet is given the same level of love and care I give to my own, but from the comfort of their environment. If you are ok with going on walks in your neighborhood then you can bet we'll be pounding the street while your pet is in my care! I'll stick to parks/neighborhoods your pet is familiar with, unless you would prefer the get exposure to new areas.
“My pups love their weekly walk with Kristen! She was super accommodating letting our cautious dog get to know her. He picks his people, and by the end of our first session he was saying she was in the club! She gets them nice and tired so they can nap while we are at work.”
“Liana was so good with Oreo! She took time to make sure he was comfortable and worked with him when he was scared. She also gave updates on how he was doing/how the visit went! I definitely would recommend her!”

My expertise spans the entire spectrum of canine and feline diversity, encompassing dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Rest assured, I possess the knowledge, skills, and compassion required to administer the care that each fur baby deserves.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes ever since I was young, and as I got older, my love for them continued to grow. This passion was instrumental in deciding my future as I am currently studying at Texas A&M and finishing up my degree in Animal Science. I want to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and plan on applying to the Texas A&M Veterinary School in 2026. I have worked in two veterinary clinics, one of which was AHAA accredited and provided overnight boarding for both cats and dogs. Outside of my time in clinics, I have also studied in laboratories that were at the cutting edge of veterinary medicine. Although not as relevant to this service, I also have experience in exotic pet care, including lagamorphs, rodents, arthropods, and wildlife. My unique experiences have provided me not only with a vast of knowledge of animal medicine, but an understanding of animal communication and husbandry as well. I know that pets are held very close to our hearts, and if I am given the privilege to watch yours, I will use my knowledge, and, most importantly, my compassion to give them the love and care they deserve while your away. While I am currently in college, my work load this semester is very light as I near the end of my degree - only 8 hours a week. When I’m not at class, I’m at home and will be able to give your pet the attention they need. I am very flexible and am willing to watch your pet in my two story condo or in your very own home! My only mission is to make your pet most comfortable, and I will do whatever I can to make it so. I understand that every pet is different, and am more than happy to accommodate for all. My goal is to limit their schedule changes to create as little stress as possible while you’re gone. Whatever walking or feeding schedule you provide will be the one that I adopt when caring for your babies!

I have a fenced backyard that your pet can run around and have fun without escaping. I also have security cameras to keep a watchful eye.
About: I have been pet sitting going on four years, but I grew up around animals my entire life. I had the pleasure of growing up with Belgian Malinois, so big dogs do not scare me! My pet sitting experience is vast from anxious pet sitting, specifically for fireworks, reactive pet sitting, senior pet sitting, puppy/kitten pet sitting, multi-pet household sitting, pets with disabilities, holiday sitting, and extended stay pet sitting. I also was a feline foster all throughout college, and was able to find loving homes to more than 21 cats, even picked myself up a foster fail along the way. I absolutely hate when I have to leave my animal for any reason, and finding a pet sitter who will love my pet as if she is their own is extremely important to me, so I understand the need for quality pet care you can trust! I believe we have a responsibility to our furry friends to try and provide the best life possible, and with hiring me, I will ensure nothing but the best care for your babies! I am a PhD student at TAMU, which requires me to have to stay local! That also ensures me a flexible schedule for whatever your pet care wants may entail. I am available every day, weekends especially. I absolutely love animals, I have not known a home without a pet of some kind. My care for your pets will be as laid back or hands on as you would prefer. Growing up with animals that required a more hands on approach, meant that my life has catered around the needs of animals, and you can expect that same quality of care to be extended to your animals. In my personal experience, sending pictures of your furry friends to you are the best way to ensure a peace of mind while you are away. I plan to keep detailed logs of my visits, whether that be a walk, or a drop in, and especially on home stays.
About: Hi, I'm Callie! I've cared for dogs pretty much all of my life. I love going on walks, playing fetch and running around with them, or just showing them love! I would love to care for your furry friends! I'm a college student, so my schedule is pretty flexible/open! I can rearrange my schedule to work with your necessities! I can come morning, afternoon, and evening any day. I will feed and make sure your pet has water, take them on a walk if they are active, or play with them inside depending on what you prefer! I will make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for!
About: I am a lover of dogs and animals. Growing up with a Bernese Mountain dog fostered my love for dogs. Sage, our dog lived to be 14 years old (guess we did something right) but after she passed away, I missed interacting with the animal kingdom. I took care of my friend's animals including fish, cats, birds, you name it, and even worked on a farm taking care of bunnies and chickens! Most recently I house sat for a month for a rescue cat with abandonment issues. I love all animals and their unique personalities and wish I had time to have a pet of my own but am currently in graduate school for dance. So someday! But in the meantime, I would love to help you and your four-legged furry companions! Thanks!

“Attentive boarding provided by Megan! Nine year old daschund/chihuahua rescue was treated like family. Excellent daily communication with pictures provided reassuring updates for this first-time Rover user. Highly recommend Megan for your special pet.”
“Zoey is super high energy and Mikayla & Stephen go above and beyond expectations to love her and keep her active and having fun! Zoey loves getting to play with their children and gets treated like one herself there! Thank you so much for helping me out with my wild girl! -Jack”
“Fantastic couple and animal family to leave your dog with. Roxy enjoyed herself. The daily pictures of Roxy and contact by Tracy put my mind at ease. Highly recommended and will be a repeat customer.”
“Paul was able to take in our dog in a last minute notice. He is a kind person and knows how to take care of a dog. Our dog was a little nervous when not home but he handled very well. If we would need a rover service in area again, we would come back to Paul.”
“We weren’t sure how to feel leaving our kitten with a stranger, but Arienne assured us he was in good hands. She took such good care of him and sent us updates each day. He seemed to have a lot of fun with her and her girls. We will definitely consider her again when we need to board Plinko!”
“Lezlie is great! Highly recommend! I had to extend my pups stay but Lezlie was so accommodating and easy to communicate with. My pup Mila has a blast and I will definitely have Lezlie watch her again!:)”
“Ashley is always our top choice for pet care. Our boys absolutely adore her—just hearing the familiar bumpy road lets them know exactly where they’re going. They’re always excited to see Ashley and her children, and it’s clear how comfortable and happy they are in her care. I especially appreciate the opportunity they have to interact with other dogs in a safe, loving environment. I never have to worry when they’re with her. Highly recommend!”
About: I was 12 when I got my first dog, a cocker spaniel named Megara. My parents quickly put me in charge of her, and caring for her taught me to put another's needs before my own. She gave me lifelong lessons about the love and loyalty between a pet and their owner. Today I have an Old English Sheepdog named Delphi. Other owners at the dog park often comment on how sweet she is, and she has grown into a great older sister to our family dog, Luna (who lives with my family). Between the two of them, I am comfortable with large breeds and with the extra patience senior dogs need. I have also dog sat regularly for friends, so I am used to stepping into someone else's routine and keeping their dog on it. I am very outdoorsy on top of that, so your dog will get real walks, not a quick trip around the block. As a PhD student, I work from home most of the day. My time on campus is limited to a few classes, my TA hours, and a student association meeting every other week, so I am home and available far more than someone on a standard nine to five. That flexibility is a big part of why I got Delphi at the start of my PhD. She has always had someone around to take her out during the day, and I can offer your dog the same. Before any payments or booking, I would like to set up a meet and greet so I can see how your dog responds to me. It tells me a lot, whether they warm up right away or need space, and it means the first day is not the first time we have met. This doesn't have to be long but it is a nice first impression to the dog. In my home, your dog will not be alone. Delphi is here as company, and I introduce new dogs to her slowly and on neutral ground so the first meeting goes well for both of them (like a local dog park). I live in a quiet, secure apartment community with an on-site dog park and an open field next door, plus several trails within walking distance, so your dog gets real exercise rather than being cooped up all day. Delphi is not crate trained and has free run of the apartment, but I am happy to crate your dog if that is part of their routine. Just bring the crate and let me know the schedule you use. In your home, I stick to your dog's routine rather than imposing my own. I follow your feeding times, walk schedule, and house rules, keep dogs leashed anywhere that is not fenced, and send photo updates so you know how the day went. If anything seems off with your dog, I contact you right away, and I am prepared to drive them to a vet if it cannot wait.
“So thankful to Jessica for taking such good care of Blu! She sent pics and updates daily for us. She was very patient with him being nervous his first night. I know he played non stop with his new buddies. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs and I will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you so much from Dani & Blu!”
About: Animals have been my entire life and passion. I grew up caring for them and have extensive, hands-on experience handling all types of personalities, sizes, and needs. My background includes working on a ranch where I managed boarding operations and administered medical care for both large and small animals. I am deeply committed to animal welfare. I have also spent years volunteering with multiple city Trap-Neuter-Return/Release (TNR) programs, which taught me how to safely handle anxious or fearful animals with patience and respect. I love all animals and treat every guest like family. Your pet will be staying in a home that is truly optimized for their safety and well-being.I work from home full-time with a highly flexible schedule, which gives me 24/7 availability. I take frequent breaks throughout the day to play, walk, and monitor your pet, ensuring constant supervision. Thanks to my ranch and TNR background, I have expert handling skills and understand animal behavior well. I can comfortably handle high-energy or shy pets, and I am fully confident administering oral medications, injections, or following strict medical routines.Because I work from the comfort of my home, your pet will rarely be left alone. Our daily routine includes regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of mental stimulation. Whether your pet needs a high-energy day of fetch or a quiet, comfortable space to snooze next to my desk, I easily adapt to their specific schedule and habits. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time. My schedule allows me to stay with your pet almost 24/7, ensuring they are rarely left alone. Throughout the workday, I have a set routine where I take three 15-minute breaks and one full 1-hour break. I use this time to focus completely on your pet by taking them on walks, playing, or giving them potty breaks. Because my job keeps me at my desk, your pet can sleep or relax right in the same room with me all day, or they can rest in a separate room if they prefer quiet time. On weekends and evenings, my schedule is completely open for longer walks, grooming, and extra socialization. I tailor my care entirely to the unique needs of each animal, whether they are staying with me or if I am visiting your home. Thanks to my experience working on a ranch and volunteering with city trap-neuter-return programs, I am highly skilled in reading animal behavior and handling fearful, anxious, or high-energy pets. I maintain strict safety protocols, double-check that all gates and doors are secure, and follow your exact feeding and exercise instructions. If your pet has medical needs, I am fully qualified to administer oral medications and injections safely. I keep a clean, stress-free environment and adapt the daily setup based on your preferences and what fits the specific service you book.
“Robert did a fantastic job of taking care of Lakshman during our Thanksgiving trip. Lakshman was not the easiest dog to take care of because he was recently rescued from the Aggieland Humane Society and still had some behavioral issues. Nonetheless, Robert was understanding of Lakshman's needs and kept me posted regularly during our trip. I highly recommend Robert to take care of your dog.”
“Makayla was a really good sitter!! Easy to communicate and be on time to be outside of the door to welcome my pet. Will be back every time I am out of the town.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded not just by animals. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all personalities, temperaments, and care needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own—with patience, attention, and genuine love. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work outside the home, but I work close by where coming home at lunchtime to check on or check on furry friend it’s not a problem. I have a fenced in yard and I am very careful to keep the doors closed. I am responsible and aware of things going on around me.
“Gisela and her family were great with Winston. He felt at home and was comfortable during his stay. We hope to book with Gisela again next time we are in College Station!”
“Jessica took excellent care of Zeus (my 85lb lab) over the week of Christmas. She sent me pictures and videos of him every day. I could tell he was happy and comfortable in her home from the videos. And he enjoyed playing with her 3 dogs and sharing toys. I can't recommend her enough! And we certainly plan to use her services again the next time we go out of town.”
“Joy gave my fur-baby all the care and snuggles he needed while we were away. I had complete trust in her abilities and she went above and beyond to keep my little guy engaged and happy.”
“I couldn't have asked for a better puppy sitter for Duck! He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, and I had complete peace of mind knowing he was being treated like family while I was away (all of the cute pics helped!). I highly recommend Noor to anyone looking for someone who is dependable, caring, and truly loves dogs.”
