Laurinda has been amazing taking care of my precious kitty. She is so gentle with animals and really takes time to show them care and affection, which being from a family of animals lovers that treat them like children, means everything to me. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that ever needed an animal cared for. Book with Laurinda! You won’t regret it!

Sara was wonderful! I felt confident that caviar would be taken care of while we were away. Sara is a very sweet person that understands cats very well. She gave me updates daily with a nice note describing her time with caviar. It was a comfort to know that she really cared! I would definitely have her check in on my kitty cat again!

About: Hi! I’m Camryn, an upcoming senior at Baylor University studying Environmental Studies. I had my own pet sitting business back home and have 8+ years of experience caring for pets, with great references. I’ll be in Waco taking summer classes and would love a summer job doing what I love—caring for animals. I offer 2–3 drop-in visits a day to feed, walk, play, and check in on your pets. I’m reliable, communicative, and will always send photo updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾 Since all of my summer classes at Baylor are online, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I can do morning, midday, and evening drop-in visits. I’m able to be consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I follow all care instructions carefully—feeding, walks, medications if needed—and always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I also keep a clean environment and make sure your home is respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, giving them lots of attention, playtime, and care while also being mindful of their boundaries. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and trusting environment for both you and your pet.

About: While I am not a professional pet sitter, I grew up around family dogs and am very comfortable caring for them. I’m attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits well into my routine as I am a graduate student currently on summer break. During this time, I have a flexible schedule and am typically available Monday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I prioritize keeping the pet’s routine consistent, maintaining a calm and safe environment, and ensuring their space is respected and left as I found it.

Brittany was very easy to work with and extremely responsive over messaging. She cared for our two outdoor neighborhood cats while we were away and I was thankful to have someone check in on them and be sure they had food and water. We will for sure book Brittany for future care!

About: I’ve grown up in a family that always opened our home to animals- dogs, cats, and even the occasional bird. Whether we were helping friends, fostering, or adopting them into our family, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Once I started petsitting on my own, I realized just how special getting to know every pet’s distinct personality is. My goal is always to keep their routines steady and familiar while you’re away, so your pets feel safe, loved, and completely at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly rhythm. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan my day around a pet’s needs- whether that’s morning walks, midday check- ins, playtime, or sticking to a specific feeding routine. Caring for animals isn’t something I’m squeezing in; it’s something I look forward to and can easily prioritize. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make their world feel as steady and familiar as possible. I follow your established routine closely- regular potty breaks, mealtimes on schedule, daily walks, play sessions, cuddle time, or whatever your pet is used to. I pay attention to their moods and preferences so I can meet them where they’re comfortable, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and slow to warm up. I’m patient and gentle with new personalities, and I do my best to keep stress low by maintaining the rhythm they already know. I give plenty of attention and affection, and I make sure their physical needs, emotional needs, and little quirks are cared for with the same consistency you provide at home. I also keep your space tidy and respected while I’m there- clean food and water bowls, locked doors, lights the way you left them, and any small home routines you request. Most importantly, I’m committed to your pet’s safety and comfort. I’ll keep a close eye on how they’re doing, communicate with you throughout your trip, and make sure they’re cared for, loved, and fully supported until you’re home again.

About: I love animals. To add to that, dogs and cats love me and typically come up to me for love and attention. I also talk to them like I would a baby.. that's not weird, right? I work full time 6 days, but typically have 3 consecutive days off, so I can give your pets the attention they need as long as you need it. I can stop by in the evenings on workdays or anytime on my days off. My dog and cats are all indoor pets. They do not step foot outside sadly. They are very delicate to the environment here in Texas. I feed them 3 times a day and they receive fresh water.

About: Hi! I’m Jeannette, and I bring eight years of pet-sitting experience to the table. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I love making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I work from home, so your pets will always have plenty of attention and company throughout the day. My dog Theo is a friendly and playful pup who loves meeting new friends and will happily keep your dog entertained. We also have a fenced backyard, perfect for outdoor play and exercise! Thank you for considering me to care for your pets. I’d be happy to answer any questions and can’t wait to meet your pupper! Working from home allows me to provide flexible and attentive pet care. I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, ensuring they get plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort and routine. I follow detailed instructions, provide plenty of attention, and ensure their safety.

Sara is the best! She accepted our last minute request to do drop-in visits for our fur baby. Sara was quick to respond, followed our instructions perfectly, and loved on our girl while taking care of her. We really appreciate Sara and her dependability. We will book her for future visits and would recommend anyone else to do the same! Thanks a ton Sara! :)

We found Cheryl because our wedding was in the Crawford/Waco area!!! She was such an amazing help over lunch and during the evenings over our wedding weekend. Would highly recommend her to anyone. She was super communicative, nice, and helpful! Our dog Murphy absolutely loved her. Added bonus she has a younger son who also loves dogs and really wears the dogs out playing with them! We loved it!! Would highly recommend! She’s was on time and did anything we asked for your dig! Thanks again Sheryl!

Chase made sure to keep me up-to-date on my pets while I was out of town. I don’t have any family in town and my neighbors are elderly, so it’s very convenient and reassuring to know that Chase will make sure that my cats are OK while I am on vacation. It’s peace of mind.

Sharleen is amazing. We had some unexpected health issues arise during the time she was supposed to drop in. Due to my daughter being home I’ll, we no longer needed her to drop in. Sharleen was understanding and quick to respond to messages. I appreciate Sharleen’s patience and willingness to adapt to last minute changes. And as always she’s very attentive and our fur babies trust her.
