“Great service, we board Shuri for a full week with Pamela during tksgiving and even she having so many doggies, we can tell Shuri was well taken care of, we received pictures daily & updates. Our baby was very happy, came home tired with all the excitement and play she got, she needed some doggy friends, she had her medicine and food given as directed and it helped a lot with her alergies, we used the week to identify if food was causing a rash, and we were able to actually see what was the issue as Pam followed our instructions very well, and Shuri's rash its gone now. Fully recomend Pam's service, we had phone, facebook page, msgs, so we were on peace all times during our vacation. Tk u Pam! We trully appreciate Shuri's care.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I worked with animals of different temperaments and learned the importance of patience and attentive care. I am a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or keeping your pet company. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to following your pet's routine! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I understand that every pet is different and will provide patient, attentive care while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I've taken care of family dogs for ~12years, and have my own ~80lb gentle giant Pyrenees who has taught me alot about how a calm presence influences a dogs demeanor!! I will provide a safe, fun, playful space & treat your dog as my own!! My dog LOVES little kids, small dogs, and big dogs. She is a protector dog & will be gentle with the little ones & love to play rough w the big ones 🥰 Although my dog is spayed, I only accept uneuetered male dogs on a case by case basis (though I am sure they are sweet 🫶) I am free nearly every weekend!! I work Monday through Friday every week, and spend my evenings and weekends at home with my pup! Would love to have yours join us! I can provide separate spaces as needed, crate time, quiet time, or 1-one-1 play. Fenced in yard or a quiet space on the couch, we'll make it work!
About: I love dogs and have one of my own and would love to care for yours. I work from home so pet sitting is a great side gig for me. I work from home so I am with your dog all day. We will go for many walks around my suburban neighborhood. We also have a fenced yard where they can run and play. I make sure they are fed and walked regularly. The home has a fenced yard so they are safe from getting out from the yard.

“Yvan was great with our dogs! They stayed with him while we were at Universal. He take very good care of them, feed them and sent us pics super often. We will definitely call him back!”
About: I have owned cats and love how they are pretty independent. I love how they cuddle and want to be pet and just relax. I have had kittens and cats I work full time and home at 5:30 pm and off on weekends and have a doggy door. When I’m not working I’m home with my 2 dogs. I have a fenced yard, they can get on furniture and able to sleep in bed with me. I will take them to potty as often as they need to go.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime, attention, and consistency, to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. I’ve had two senior dogs who needed medication administration, frequent bathroom breaks, transportation, and close monitoring to keep them comfortable and happy. I also currently help care for my miniature dachshund, Maxwell, who is completely blind, so I understand the importance of adapting to a dog’s individual needs and creating a safe, supportive environment. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a game of fetch, extra cuddles, a consistent feeding schedule, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. I know that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I recently relocated to spend time with my boyfriend while he serves in the Air Force, and after leaving my full-time job back home, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to give pets my full attention rather than trying to fit them into an already busy schedule. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, play sessions, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I understand that life can get hectic, and my goal is to make things a little easier for pet owners by providing reliable, attentive care when they need it most. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and individualized care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that is great for walks, and I have a fenced-in yard that allows dogs to safely spend time outdoors. My home is air-conditioned, which is especially important during the Texas summer months to ensure pets stay comfortable and cool. I also have reliable transportation, making it easy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, or other pet-related needs if necessary. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, including my own pets as well as those of family, friends, neighbors, and members of my community. This experience has taught me that every pet is different and deserves individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slowing down, or requires a little extra patience and attention, I will take the time to learn their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they are being cared for as if they were my own.
