About: I have worked with a variety of animals including chickens, dogs, cats and horses. I treat every animal like my own. With an eye for detail I will be the most attentive to the animals you call family. I am a college student and taekwondo lover looking to make some extra cash for the summer and upcoming fall semester doing something I love. Seeing as I am setting my own schedule this is perfect for me. Every instruction provided will be followed to the letter and anytime you want to check in you are encouraged to. I will care for your pets as I do my own like family. I will listen to the animal and contact you if anything appears concerning or out of the ordinary.

She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. Every time I come home, my puppy is happy, well-exercised, and relaxed. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

“Charlotte was absolutely amazing. I was booking a last minute house sitting for my pup. She came and picked him up, dropped him back off, made sure his food and water bowls were full, took him on a ton of fun walks, let him sunbathe and sent pictures of him during my absence. Crimson seemed to enjoy his time with her. Charlotte was very professional and prompt, had great communication skills and showed up with a loving demeanor for Crimson. Will definitely be using Charlotte in the future! Thank you Charlotte!!!”

About: I've loved animals all of my life. One of my passions growing up was to be a veterinarian because animals need a loving voice to not only speak for them but to care for them as well.

“Raniyah was absolutely amazing. It’s easy to tell that she is a kind soul as soon as you meet her and our sometimes-nervous animals took to her calm spirit quickly. She left the house just as she found it and followed our instructions exactly. Communication was A+. Our pets could care less that we’re home, which is always a sign of great care!

About: I’ve taken care of animals all my life and if I thought I could be a vet I would, but sadly I have always cried at the “in the arms of an angel” commercials. Luckily, I have a very flexible schedule with my job and can take care of your animal whenever your schedule permits! I wake up early so morning walks/feedings are no issue and generally have free afternoons to tend to your animals needs. I have a fenced in large backyard and one fur baby who loves other dogs and to play but also understands not all animals feel this way. As someone being trusted with your animal, I do believe it is very important to understand the temperament of each fur baby as well as access their body language. I never want your animal to be uncomfortable just as much as I never want to be uncomfortable!

Dulce T.
“I asked Trevino to take care of my 7 pom-mix dogs for a week while I was away on a trip, and to say they loved him is an understatement. He went above and beyond for my oldest, who has alot of trouble moving around and about the house by himself. He handled food and water, medications and even helped me bathe them when I got back. He truly knows his way around a pup. I came back to 7 very happy little babies.”
