About: Hi! I’m Reanna, a passionate animal lover with 4 years of experience as a veterinary technician. I’ve cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and medical needs—from playful puppies to senior cats requiring daily medication. My background in veterinary care means your pet will be in knowledgeable, compassionate hands whether you’re away for a weekend or an extended trip. I treat every pet like my own and pride myself on providing safe, stress-free, and loving care. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work and live in Taylor, TX - working 4 days per week with hour lunch break from 12:00pm- 1:00pm daily. This makes it easy for me to make mid day check ins or potty breaks! I have owned dogs and cats my entire life- through my own pets, fostering, rescuing, rehabbing, or gentling/ training. I am very in tune with behavioral cues and strive to fit each pet’s individual needs.

I treat your home with the same respect I’d want for my own, and I follow all instructions carefully to ensure your space stays just as you left it.

Came back to happy pets, clean house and peace of mind knowing that they were taken care of.

About: Previously owned 6 Great Danes. Former foster for Paws of Austin. Lots of on hands training with my own pets such as crate training, walking w/ & without a lead, basic dog grooming, play time, rest time. Willing to care for dogs with special needs I do work a full time job. I'm generally off of work by 4:30 pm. I am primarily available Fri eve - Sun eve. Holiday bookings would be by advance request only. I enjoy being active & your pet would benefit socially, mentally & physically in my care. Above all I will adhere to the clients wishes within reason. I understand as a former pet owner how important safety & security for pets are not just for the pet but for the client as well. To entrust a pet that is much loved with a caretaker can be stressful for both client & pet. I hope to relieve that stress for both.
About: I have owned dogs and cats throughout my life. While I have always cared for my own, I also have experience volunteering at my dad’s cat’s rescue and dog and cat sitting over the summer. I am a college student and have no responsibilities that keep me from my house for long. I take walks often and would enjoy having a pup to walk with. I would be able to give your pet my full attention and love for the time they are with me. I do not have a fenced yard so will have to leash dogs to go to the bathroom. Any pets will be watched well in my home.
“Lillian (Ruthie) took great care of our pup. She kept us updated with how our pup was doing and sent lots of pictures. We were really happy with how she took care of our dog and followed our instructions. We will definitely work with her again. Thank you!”
