“I could not be happier with Dusty and the way she took care of our fur babies. She went above and beyond and even accommodated us when our plans changed. I wouldn't hesitate to use Dusty again !”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat, and bearded dragon. I also spent a year working at a kennel, where I gained hands-on experience with pups and kitties of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feedings, or just a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat your pet like family. When I’m not caring for animals, I love playing video games, writing, and spending time with my husband. I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly!) friend! I’m currently a full-time homemaker, which means I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! It’s always been my dream to open up an animal rescue, so this is just another great step in that direction! I understand the anxiety of leaving your pets when going on vacation or a needed trip somewhere, but I can promise you’ll be leaving them in good hands, and that you’ll receive frequent pictures, updates, and anything else to ease your mind!

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 13. From taking care of neighbors dogs and cats to raising my own cows and pigs, I have experience with every animal under the sun. I now work in the veterinary industry so I can identify any problematic symptoms while your pet is in my care. I will strive to make your baby happy and comfortable as long as I am responsible for them! I only work part time, so I have flexibility in my schedule. I am available all day on Sunday and after 2 on Saturdays. After 3 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and after 5 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am comfortable accommodating your pet in any way they need, from going on walks in the neighborhood to administering medicines daily. Let me know what your baby needs, and I will get it done!
About: I've always had animals in my life. Dogs, cats, chickens, cows, horses. All the fur babies!!. I love each and every animals different personalities. They will be taken care of like they are my own. I am currently working full time during the week in Tyler and available after 6. Weekend sitting or local drop ins are what I can offer right now.

We have a fenced in yard for them to run and play. I work during the week so I could do evening time activities and all day during the weekend.

About: I have taken care of pets more than half my life. I am willing to take care of them however you need. They will get the care as if they were my own. I truly love animals! I am off for the summer and I am very flexible. I am available whenever is needed. I prefer to watch your pet at your house but I am also flexible with that. The dog will be able to be out all the time. We are at home all the time. Your dog will be treated very well in our home!

“When my senior tripawd, Sarge, developed a vestibular issue a week before our trip I wasn't at all sure I'd be able to leave him, particularly with a new petsitter! But Samantha kept in contact to see how he was doing and offered to come by again two days before we left to see how he was feeling and what we were doing to help him. I don't know if it was her presence or the treats she brought but that was the first real meal he'd managed in a week! She managed his meds, balance issues, and lackluster appetite like a pro while still keeping our little Poot girl spoiled and happy! She found so many creative ways to build up Sarge's appetite. I got plenty of updates and she didn't hesitate to ask about any concerns. I still didn't expect to see Sarge so happy and well on his way to recovery. And Poot had a marvelous time with a human who properly appreciates her cuddles! I've been a petsitter for over 15 years and I know how hard it can be, especially with older or ill kiddos. But Samantha was amazing! She worked so hard to make sure my pups were healthy and happy (and thoroughly spoiled!). Her experience and abilities are outstanding. I've really enjoyed working with her and it's such a relief to have a trustworthy petsitter again!”


About: I have had animals my entire life! They are my best friends! I have always had a passion for animals! Animals are so special to this world! I am currently working at a hospital full time. I am looking for some extra money to go to school. And would love to meet your pets! I have a big yard to play and have fun in! I have 3 dogs that live to make friends and play!! I have kennels for the ones that are crate trained.

About: Though this is my first dog sitting job I have grown up with multiple dogs and love animals so much! I’m willing to watch over any sort of dog as I love all breeds:) I am able to train dogs fairly easy and am willing to help with whatever needs your animal has. I currently run an at home baking business that allows me to watch over my dogs and any other animals at all times. I’m an active person myself so I love to take dogs on multiple walks every day. My pets are my best friends and I treat them with love and respect. Every animal I take care of will be loved and never treated horribly.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, etc. From Great Danes, to miniature dachshunds, you name it! I love dogs of all kinds and I can’t wait to hang out with your pup! I am available Monday through Friday during the day, ask me about any other dates you might need and I can try to fit it in! I care for others pets the same way I would care for my own - in a safe, trusting and loving environment. I live in a smoke free home by myself, so they will get my undivided attention.

“Andrea did a very good job of house sitting my dog for the weekend. Since she works at a Vet clinic she has experience with dogs in many things. I fully trusted her & will be using her to sit with Buster again!”


“BK, Coco & Abby loved their weekend with Jewel. She is so good with them & our house was in very good order when we got home. It is so nice to be able to leave for a weekend & be very confident that our fur kids are in such good hands & well taken care of. We will def have Jewel back whenever her schedule allows. Thanks Jewel.”


About: Neighbors and friends have asked me to pet sit several times in my life, and I have had the pleasure of owning dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and even lizards over the course of my life. I own two lovely birds and one sweet, amazing dog named Suzy. I love animals and am excited to work in a field I love helping to care for dogs and improve their health through regular exercise. Currently I work as a custodian from 7am to 3pm, so I have plenty of time otherwise to help walk your dog or pet sit during the week. I will travel to your home to take your dogs on a walk, make sure they have fresh water, and possibly feed them depending on your schedule. I'll be glad to bring some treats and help your pets get quality exercise and exploration time in your neighborhood.

About: I'm a recently retired Veteran now enjoying time with my family. I have experience with many animals ranging from horses to dogs/cats. I'm currently homesteading in Wills Point with animals of my own (Dogs, Cats, Bunnies, Chickens, Goats, etc.) I'm trusted, attentive, and reliable. Any animal regardless of environment. I work my property throughout the day which provides me with a flexible schedule to care for your animals and ensure they are looked after properly. I have a fenced yard to care for your pet and dogs of my own to keep them company. If you'd prefer them to be crated that is available.

About: Hi! I’m Matt, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to four wonderful dogs—from a gentle Great Dane to a spirited little Chiweenie. Living with such a fun and diverse pack has given me a deep understanding of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. But my heart doesn’t stop at dogs—I’ve also had the joy of sharing my life with cats, and I truly enjoy working with them too. Whether your cat is outgoing, shy, playful, or independent, I know how to earn their trust and make them feel safe and loved in your absence. Whether you have a couch-loving kitty, a high-energy pup, or a full fur family, I bring calm, caring, and attentive support tailored to your pet’s needs. What you can expect from me: Consistent, on-time care with thoughtful updates and plenty of photos Genuine affection, one-on-one attention, and enrichment activities Experience handling pets with unique routines, medication needs, or senior care A calm and respectful presence in your home, plus basic household tasks as needed I know how hard it can be to leave your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own—because that’s what I’d want for mine. Whether you’re away for the weekend or an extended trip, I’ll make sure your pets are happy, well cared for, and loved. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to connect and see how I can help! My furry fuzz balls are my family. I’m already up early feeding, walking, and playing with my own four dogs, and I make time throughout the day to check in, interact, and keep them comfortable. Because animals are already such an important part of my everyday routine, caring for your pets fits right in. Whether it’s morning drop-ins, midday play breaks, or evening check-ins, I structure my schedule around what your pets need most. I’m organized, flexible, and always make sure each visit is calm, unrushed, and full of attention—just like I would want for my own pets. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine and environment to reduce stress and keep them happy, loved and secure. I follow your instructions closely—from feeding and medication schedules to favorite toys, walking routes, and cuddle preferences—so your pet gets consistent, personalized care. Each visit is more than just a check-in. I take time to connect with your pet, offer affection, play, and enrichment, and keep an eye on their behavior and well-being. I’m calm, respectful, and tidy in your space, and I always keep you updated with photos and notes so you feel confident and connected while you're away.

“Heather did an excellent job watching my pups! She went above and beyond taking care of them and my house. I just moved into a new home and she even helped clean/unpack some and it was truly appreciated! I would definitely use her again and trust she would do a great job!”


“Jessica was great! It's not easy letting a perfect stranger house-sit for you but Jessica did great and totally put my mind at ease. She was great with my 3 babies and I would definitely use her again.”


About: I have had dogs my whole life and got on of my own when I was in college. Growing up around and with dogs has been something that I love about about my up bringing. Dogs add so much to a family and are life long companions. Getting puppy while a full time college student and having a part time job was hard, but taught me how to manage my time and make my dog training efficient. Now she is almost 4 and is my best friend. Leaving town and having someone watch your best friend can be nerve racking, but I am here to love your furry friend like my own! I believe in efficient play time and enrichment for your animals to help make your time apart not so difficult. As a teacher, I am only busy from 7:30 - 5 each day. Some weekends I may be gone traveling, but I would love to check in on your furry friend when I can! Sometimes pets can be unpredictable and it is important that you stay calm and let them warm up to you. It is important to me to build that trust on the first visit to ensure the animal feels safe.

About: hello! I was a veterinary technician for 3 years, and for the past year I've been using my skills for dog walking, pet sitting, as well as I'm in the process of becoming a dog trainer. My baseline standard of care is not just as I'd treat my own, but better. Your pets would be treated with the love necessary for you to feel comfortable while away. I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to drop in and ensure your pets are well taken care of and happy. I ensure that all instructions and/or medications are followed, pets remain safe and healthy, and I regularly communicate how they're doing and/or if there are any concerns.
