“Susan was great! One of our girls has a pretty extensive medicine routine. Susan being there gave us the peace of mind we wouldn’t have found anywhere else. I assure you the next time we need help with our babies we’ll be calling on her.”


About: I have had experience raising cats and dogs since I was a young girl. My family dog when I was a little girl got a bad skin infection and I nursed him back to health with daily baths in oatmeal bath wash. I’ve raised kittens and puppies from 4-6 weeks old and even weened my 4 year old Dutch shepherd off of milk. I’m the kind of fur mom who finds an ingrown hair in her collie and gets him medicine to keep him in pristine condition. My love for animals is endless and I would love to treat your babies just as I treat mine! I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to come and take care of your pets! I look forward to showing you how devoted I am. In my client’s home, I will make sure there is nothing left dirty or stinky! I will feed your pets and offer them lots of love and take them on walks. I also follow a routine of supplements and medication for my dog’s so I am really good at following schedules that require strict needs. I know how important diet is and will only feed your pet provided food.

About: I have had pets my entire life and have had a full-time pet sitter for over 10-years during my professional athlete career, so I know first hand how important it is to have a pet sitter you can trust! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, who I love with every inch of my being. I have loved animals from as far back as I can remember and I've never met a pet I didn't already love! I have expert experience in multi dog/cat households of all shapes and sizes and experience in administrating medications and following strict food diets. I worked full-time in rescue for several years and spent many years volunteering before transitioning into my current role where I manage a business full-time. I currently work 7am-4pm, Monday-Friday but I am available to stay overnight during the week and full-time on the weekends. My schedule does change often so please reach out if you are interested in my services! I take a lot of pride in taking care of all pets and will honor your requests and wishes during my stay to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy during our time together. I am always ready for playtime and snuggles and I'm always happy to share a bed :) I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I currently manage a business in Dallas and work full-time but I am available to stay overnight at your home and full-time on the weekends. I take your pets safety as my top priority. I will follow all of your rules/requests and make sure your pet is happy and safe while in my care.

“Jessica did a wonderful job with our pups! She kept us updated and informed. Not to mention she spoiled our bully rotten.I would highly recommend her if you want your pets cared for to help you have a stress free time away from home.”


About: I've been around dogs and cats my whole life. I started caring for other people's pets when I was 12 yrs old, maybe younger. During highschool, I worked at a horse farm. During college, I worked at a local veterinary hospital for almost 10 years. I'm currently a stay-at-home momma to my almost 3yr old daughter and a wife. While she's in school for half days, I can care for your fur babies in the mornings and in the afternoons. We will play ball, go on walks, play tug-a-war, get lots of belly rubs and ear scratches, do some tricks for some yummy treats. If your pup gets scared of storms, I will make sure to stay with them until the storm passes or you return. I will lay with them to help calm them. They can sit on me if needed, whatever works for them to feel comfortable.

About: I’ve always worked with animals and had many of my own from snakes to dogs and horses! I’ve learned along the way with how to treat different personality types in animals and how to tend to their needs whether it be medical, high energy, or older pets. I can accommodate to any and all specific needs that the owners or fur babies may have. I am very confident in my skills with dogs and cats to make sure they are safe and comfortable in the end! I have 6 dogs of my own, so majority of my plans are made around them I try to fit them into most of the things I do on a daily basis. I always try to keep my pets happy and occupied so they get lots of energy out! I’m more than happy to take them out to play, go for walks, give them lots of love, feed them, give baths to keep them clean, or even just be a companion while the family is away.

“Jackson did wonderful with my dogs! I have a dachshund who isn’t the friendliest with strangers, but despite that, Jackson was able to take of him without any issues. He was very responsive every time I reached out and did everything that I asked of him.”


About: I have fully trained two puppies on my own. I have been pet sitting since high school to make extra money! I love animals and treat them how I would my own child. I am currently in trade school and I have classes for a couple hours each morning. I am mostly always free anytime other than that. I keep pets on their regular feeding and restroom schedules, depending on the owners instructions. I like to make sure pets feel very at home and safe with me.

About: I’ve worked with all kinds of animals from playful puppies and shy rescues to senior pets who need extra care and patience. I started out volunteering at animal shelters, then gained hands-on experience as a vet assistant and kennel tech, where I helped with feeding, meds, and basic care for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also helped on my uncle’s farm, caring for everything from livestock to barn cats. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and treat every animal like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently in college and part of a sorority, but I still have plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. My class schedule is flexible, and I plan ahead to make sure every pet gets the attention they need. I’m available most mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I always make time for walks, playtime, and check-ins. Pet care is something I love, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I make sure their space is clean, secure, and calm. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and preferred walking routes. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for. I also send regular updates and photos to keep you in the loop and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t around a pet! I’ve been taking care of animals of all sizes ever since our family Rottweiler back in the 2000s. From energetic Dobermans to loyal shepherds (yes, I’ve got those too!), I have a natural bond with dogs of all breeds. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I love making sure pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. With me, your furry family member will be treated like one of my own! I also love training them too! I am currently enrolled in a self paced online school course so I have plenty of time and flexible dates to accommodate your furry family member! I truly enjoy long walks and caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I even have a Doberman myself, so I’m very comfortable with large, energetic pups as well as smaller, more delicate ones. 😊 I always listen carefully to the owner’s preferences and routines to make sure your dog feels safe and at home, even when you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific care instructions you provide, and if I notice anything that could enhance your pet’s comfort or well being, I’d be happy to share suggestions. You can trust that your dog will receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention and your home will be respected as if it were my own. I’m here to make things as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your furry family member. I listen to the owners suggestions for care in their home. If there are ideas or care taking steps I can add in, I will definitely propose that as well.

About: I’ve had a dog for about 10 years. I walked him and played with him. I can administer medicine to your dog. I can brush them. I will take care of them like they were my own. I love dogs and taking care of them. I work but I’m home a lot and if something happens then I can take them to the vet of your choice. I like to go on walks and I like to walk dogs. I had lots of animals growing up especially dogs. I can walk them after 3 on most days. I do have a camera in the house so I can watch the dog(s) of something should happen if if I’m at work. I love dogs and can’t wait to have them in my care.

Her attention to detail is unparalleled, ensuring that every pet in her care receives the right level of attention, love, and exercise that they need.
