House Sitting in Abercrombie

About: From a young age I loved being around animals, I started out helping my mom since she is a wildlife rehabilitation rescuer. I worked as a Veterinary Technician with small and large animal, and have been working as a receptionist in Veterinary Clinics for 7 years now. Animals bring a happiness to me that is indescribable and if you hire me as your pet sitter I promise that your fur babies will become a part of my family! I will treat them as my own, if you’d like to book please let me know. I like to do meet and greets before I do the job to meet your fur babies, you, and make sure that I have an understanding of the routine to best take care of them while your away! I am currently not working so I am doing pet sitting full time, I can pretty much do any date or time. Just let me know what works best for you. For pet sitting, I would do so in the comfort of your own home and where your pet feels the safest. I do not have a fenced in yard, so to make sure that the pet care is safe I feel it is best to provide it in your home.

About: I've had pets my whole life - I especially love cats and dogs. When I graduated high school I began to pet sit in homes. I love being able to give peace to owners and pet parents while they're away. I enjoy playing with and snuggling with fur babies! You can expect at least one picture a day of your fur baby, quick communication, and rules to be followed to the T. I am currently in-between jobs, which means I am free most days! Unless otherwise discussed, I don't pet sit on Sundays (but I am open to the possibility - some Sundays I volunteer at my church so I am not available for long periods of time then). Due to having my own dog at home, I generally make it a rule to either come to your house for check-ins or to stay at your house so I may better service you and your fur babies without incident. I like to know as many details about your pets as possible. Before agreeing to a job, I like to come and meet the fur babies to make sure we are a good fit together. I can walk or let your animals out to exercise and use the potty, feed and water them, clean up messes and litter boxes, play and snuggle with them, and more. I won't, however, bathe or give medication in most cases - pills put or crushed into food are okay, but injections and such are not.

About: I’ve had experience with many animals of different species for many years and can take care of all needs. I was a dog trainer and certified in dog and small animal wellness. I am currently a pet care specialist and do all that I can for all and their pets. I also have a degree in environmental science and pet wellness. I also like to applaud myself for customer service skills and being personable with everyone I meet. I will talk to you like I’ve known you forever and I strive to be someone those can be comfortable around. 😊 As a pet care specialist and pet owner myself, my schedule ranges from 8-9 am for spot cleaning and feeding, then around 12 I do pet checks, and around 5-6 is when I do final checks. For dogs, it follows the same structure with added enrichment and outside time in between. I have one dog and one puppy who spend time mostly outside and come in for breaks and food/snacks. I have a cat who eats twice a day and will occasionally be put in his stroller to go outside and enjoy the fresh air lol. And I have 2 guinea pigs who eat twice a day and will come out of their cage for enrichment and play time.

About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life as I’ve always owned them. They truly are my best friend. I love them and they deserve the best care! I’m currently doing mostly just side gigs which gives me a lot of availability to be free through the week! I plan to do it as much as possible! They are treated just as humans are! Growing up they went on all of our trips with us and were always treated very well! It’s a blast having them!

About: I've taken care of animals for the past 12 years for clients and friends of mine. Their animals always took to me really well with me being around them so often and showing them love, so they began asking me if I could pet sit for them. I also have a 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 rabbits and chickens. I am a stay at home mom that homeschools so my schedule is very flexible. Let me know your preferences and we can work something out. I can administer medication if needed also. I have experience giving insulin shots. I show them love and affection, let them out to go potty and play with them before I put them back up. I follow detailed instructions

About: I’ve take care of animals cats, dogs, bunnies, lizards etc since I was about 8. I loved babysitting for my neighbors and taking care of my animals. I’m currently working part time! I am available many different hours of the day, very excited to spend some down time with many pups and cats!! I love to treat my cat with some treats. I have one animal caging isn’t needed for him, he’s not aggressive very sweet and loving. I’m currently working part time, and is available mostly any day of time. I’ve very excited to need all the animals pups cats etc, so that I can share my love! I have one friendly cat I do not have fenced gates. However, the anima will be safe with me. I do live in an apartment.

“Keliann did a great job. She kept us informed about our two dogs. They seem very happy in the pictures. I will have her pet sit for us again. ”

About: My family has a small farm where we raise goats. We have always had animals so i am very comfortable in my abilities to care for your loved family member just as i would my own. I have a pretty open schedule atm. Can work around any schedule needed for the most part. I have a vehicle so I am ok with traveling around the county. Can do late night check-ins if needed for if you work grave yards. So right now I am only offering services at clients house and walking. Yes we have fenced in yards and everything to board but with me having a job now and doing this on the side it seems more sensible since I won't be home alot to give the needed love and care, but will consider options for certain situations if needed. But dog walking, check ins day or night, basic grooming

About: I’m in my mid 30s and been responsible for at least one pet since I was about 8. I love all animals and have personally had cats, dogs and fish. I graduated from A&M Galveston with a degree in Marine Biology and am currently working with marine mammals. I have experience in dog and cat training, this includes harness/leash and behavioral. Because of my degree I have a background in animal behavior which I use to help talk to and understand animals. I have worked with pets, dolphins and wolves in the past. I absolutely love animals and find it the most rewarding teaching and interacting with them. Please let me help you love your pet. I currently don’t have any set in stone commitments but I have the occasional volunteer project but can work around any Rover commitment. Let me know what you need and we can figure something out! I have a truck so it’s easy to go somewhere safe for your pet if your neighborhood doesn’t have a good play spot. If I am staying at a clients place can take the dog to a dog park if there isn't one nearby.

“Holly was an amazing sitter! We were initially a little nervous because our dogs have very distinct personalities and needs—especially our two senior pups—but Holly made us feel completely at ease from the start. She sent consistent updates with a full set of pictures at every visit that we grew to look forward to while we were away, which reassured us that everyone was doing great. The dogs were clearly getting plenty of time to eat, play, and just be themselves, and they warmed up to her right away—which doesn’t always happen! Holly was friendly, easy to work with, and followed all of our care instructions to a T. She also left the house exactly how we left it, which we really appreciated. We’ll absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate sitter!”

About: Howdy! I'm Emily, an experienced animal caregiver living in a rural Texas community. At home, I currently care for two dogs, a cat, and a flock of chickens, so looking after animals is already part of my everyday routine. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to trust the person you leave your pets with. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away - basically stepping in as the "mom while mom is away." Animals have their own personalities and routines, and I do my best to keep things familiar and stress-free for them. Whether that means playtime, a walk, sticking to feeding schedules, or just keeping them company, I'm happy to meet them where they're at. I'm calm, dependable, and not easily rattled. I take animal care seriously, and I understand that pets are family. You can expect clear communication, regular updates, and plenty of photos so you know your pets are doing well while you're gone. Since I already care for multiple animals at home, I'm comfortable with a variety of temperaments and needs. From energetic dogs and independent cats: If they need patience, routine, or just a little extra lovin', I'm happy to provide it! I am available for visits, drop-ins, and walks from 7 A.M. - 7 P.M. Weekdays (excluding Tuesdays) and Weekends. While I may leave between visits to tend to my own pets or other clients, I make sure your pets receive reliable care, attention, and updates during each visit! Your pet's safety and comfort are of utmost priority. I always follow the care instructions you leave for your pets so they can stick to the routine they're used to. Because I care for my own animals at home, I understand how important it is to be attentive and responsible when someone else is caring for your pets. I keep a close eye on behavior, surroundings, and anything that might affect their well-being. If I ever notice something unusual or have a question, I won't hesitate to reach out. I believe good communication is part of good pet care, and I'd rather check in than make assumptions. I like to balance fun and affection with attentiveness. Pets should feel relaxed and loved, but also safe and supervised!

About: We provide loving care for your fur babies while you are away. Located in Needville, Texas on a peaceful horse farm, we offer boarding for dogs, cats, and horses. No dog is too big or too small—every pet is welcome here! Your pet will enjoy regular feeding, outdoor playtime, and plenty of attention. For those who prefer in-home care, I also offer drop-in visits where I will feed, walk, and care for your pet as if they were my own. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to working with you. Have a blessed day! I work daily at the ranch asking with a full staff that will provide premium care for your pet. We will care for your pet as if it were our own. I provide photos throughout the day. Videos are available at your request. Incident and accident reports are also written up if anything happens. Safety is our first priority.

About: *After your first successful booking with me, I lock in your rates for all future bookings so your rate stays low as my loyal customer, even if I raise my rates later. Regularly care for my own dog (beautiful lab/pit mix) and have had dogs (& other pets) all of my life. I love the bond shared between me and my pets and that experience that I get to pass along to my children, who are helping care for our senior dog. Our pets have always been part of our family, and I will treat your pet & home with the same attention and care that I have always shown to my own. The world needs more love and respect -- certainly among us as humans -- and I believe our pets can teach us that lesson every day if we're willing to see it.

About: I have always loved pets. I have often pet sat for my friends or family. I owned my first dog at 13. I trained her myself as well as groom her myself. I would consider her my baby. Training my own dog has given me a better understanding of them and a greater respect for them. I recently adopted a new big puppy which has better equipped me for caring for dog's with various personalities since she required much different training than my older little dog. I enjoy getting to know pets with different personalities and loving on them. If you trust me with your pet, I will treat him/her as my own. Pet sitting works great with my schedule because I am a full time teacher so I have all summer to love on your pet while you are away. I am fully able to stay at your house if need be to pet sit. My roommate takes care of my two fur babies while I am away. Also, I am able to bring your pet to my apartment with my two dogs who love other animals. My apartment is next to a big park and has a huge dog park for exercise. I am flexible with the needs of my clients.

About: I've been dog-sitting family pets for years and have really enjoyed sitting cats and dogs on Trusted Housesitters. I love spending evenings in with furballs. I work remotely so I'm home all day. It's the ideal setup if you have pets that are used to having a human around throughout the day! Please get in touch to meet in person before booking! I like to visit with pets before doing sits to make sure they're comfortable with me before a stay. I am a fully remote worker, so when pets come stay with me, they won't have to be alone unless I need to run to the grocery store. I get up around 8 but can be up earlier if pets need to go out. My lunch break is flexible but usually around 12, and then I'm out of work around 6. I have no other pets while I'm sitting. There are no sidewalks in my area, so I can't take dogs on walks. I do have a fenced in backyard with enough space to play fetch--that'd be ideal for exercise!

“Wendy stayed overnight with our pets and went above and beyond expectations! Very responsible, communicative and respectful of our home.”

“My husband and I were traveling to Texas for a wedding and I needed a pet sitter for our 2-1/2 year old dog and 5 month old puppy. I found Wendy on Rover and was impressed by her reviews. They were right on! Wendy arrived on time and sent photos and text updates every hour. Our pups were well taken care of and sleeping soundly next to Wendy on the couch when we returned from the wedding. I would highly recommend Wendy and would not hesitate to book her again if we are in the area. Thanks, Wendy for taking such great care of our pups!!”
