“Excellent care, communication, and it was clear she loved on our three girls well while we were gone! She wasn’t afraid to ask clarifying questions and she made sure everything was taken care of.”

“Connor was an amazing care giver for our Lily Mae. She is a pup who loves attention and thinks she is a lap dog (at 50 lbs) and he gave her all the love she needed and more. He sent lots of pictures and was so good at communicating with us. The house was just as we left it. We appreciate all of this!”

“This is the second time sitting for Cosmo and she continues to take great care of him, while keeping me updated on his day to day activities. She’s quickly becoming a regular for Cosmo”

“Maria was fantastic! We left on a weeklong trip and Maria not only took such great care of our pups, but she went above and beyond to spoil them. We appreciate the constant communication and feeling like we could leave out fur babies in great hands! Thank you for everything and we look forward to our next booking with you!”


“Jane is caring, thoughtful, and our 3 fur kids were well-taken care of. The house was very clean, and she kept me updated via text messages throughout her stay. She really loves animals and we felt very comfortable with her in our home. She is a wonderful, trustworthy dog sitter!”

“We used Arisha for the first time this past weekend for staying at our home with our beloved fur baby as a trial before we went on a longer vacation. My experience was nothing but positive. She was on time. Communicated regularly. Sent photos and left our house as we had left it. I look forward to using her again and have already booked with her. Highly recommend.”

“Our review is based on our meet and greet with Michelle. Because of an unforeseen personal situation, we were not able to move forward with this booking. We believe Michelle would be a fabulous sitter and hope she will be given that opportunity.”

About: As a previous pet hotel employee, I can say that animal caretaking is one of my favorite things to do. I grew up with numerous pets in my household and providing for them was part of my daily chores. I also had pets in my college home and I was always happy to help feed, play with and take care of those pets. I briefly took care of my families adopted dog, Atlas, before he went to live full time on the family farm. During that time, I was responsible for all care. Including lots of walks and tummy rubs! I work from home full time so my schedule is very flexible! I am able to take breaks in between meetings to let them go potty, give them so play time and more. I have a fenced in yard so your dog would be free to run around outside! I also have a backyard camera for extra security.
“Tom is a gem and we were lucky to find him after our relocation to East Texas. We left our home knowing that our babies were in good hands. Tom was respectful of our property and we were very comfortable being away. It was a fantastic experience.”

“Adrian was so amazing with our two pups! Our sweet babies can get very anxious but he kept them so calm and happy while we were away. He sends THE BEST pictures of your babies to update you. We will definitely be booking with him again.”

“Amy was a great sitter for our Dixie girl. She sent pictures and communicated very well. She also watered our plans and left our home perfectly clean. We extended our time away by a day at the last minute and Amy was willing to stay and accommodate our plans. We look forward to having her again!”

“Amy was fantastic! She sent pictures of the cats and updated me regularly on them. Absolutely would recommend her for pet sitting and will book her again on my next trip. Nothing is better than having peace of mind that my pets are cared for when I'm out of town.”
“The boys absolutely LOVED her and I also got lots of comfort with cute videos and pictures of the boys! Scooby says 100/10 best play mate and Prince says 100/10 best snuggles! Thank you!!”


About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds, cats, and other pets ever since I was a kid. I have always been around them and I love them! I am currently working full time but I will still have plenty of time in between work to care for your pets on weekdays and weekends! I will follow your pet’s routine closely, making sure they’re fed, walked, exercised, and cared for as instructed. I provide lots of attention and gentle care, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable at all times.
“Brittany was amazing! She was very patient and attentive with our anxious rescues. She communicated we me a ton and sent lots of pictures/video updates. I had great peace of mind leaving my dogs in her care and will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Brittany!!”

About: I have owned multiple dogs since birth and know how to train, care for, and love all animals! I am trained to walk multiple dogs as well as bathe and feed them. I will be obtaining a part time job, however as of right now I am completely free for the summer and available all week long I have one very friendly bulldog named Daisy and have an excessive amount of beds, toys and treats to cater to the dogs needs, as well as a grassy backyard.

Mercedes was absolutely incredible as our house and dog sitter. From the moment we left, we felt at ease knowing everything was in capable hands. She took amazing care of our home and our dogs. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it. Mercedes kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which meant so much and really helped us relax while we were away. We had a great experience and will 100% be asking Mercedes again in the future. Highly recommend her.
