Cat Sitting in Alamo

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, starting on the farm where I grew up with pets and livestock. I have experience with all kinds of animals, from playful puppies to senior pets with special needs. I’m patient, reliable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s feeding, playing, walking, or just spending time with them, you can count on me to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. Pet care is my full-time job, so it’s at the center of my daily routine. Each day, I focus on providing personalized care for each pet, whether it's feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time with them. I’m flexible and adjust my schedule to meet the needs of every pet, ensuring they get the attention and exercise they require. Being fully dedicated to pet care allows me to give your pets the time and love they deserve, every single day. I care for pets in their own homes, so they stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I handle everything from feeding and walking to playing and giving medication, following any instructions the pet owner provides. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while ensuring they’re happy and well cared for. I treat each home with respect and make sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

“Krista was absolutely fantastic with our boy, Zeus, and went way above and beyond with taking care of him! Highly recommend Krista and we will definitely ask her to watch over our boy, Zeus, again!”

“Savannah was awesome. We have 3 cats, one still a baby. The baby got on the counter and shredded paper towels while we were gone, Savannah cleaned it up! She didn't have to do that, but she went above and beyond the call of duty. If you are looking for a cat sitter, SHE IS THE ONE TO CALL! Thanks for being awesome Savannah!!!!❤️”

About: I’ve had over 10 years of experience with taking care of dogs. I love to walk them, bathe them, and play with them. I have a labradoodle that is very well socialized and he loves meeting other doggos! I will take care of your fur babies like they are my own :) I will only host 2 dogs (maximum) at one time. I do this to insure safety for all the pups. I work from home as an insurance auditor. So my schedule is super flexible to allow me to help with your pet care needs :) I live in a very nice apartment complex with a fenced in dog park area. I can assist with crate/house training. I will follow any rules/guidelines provided by the owner.

“Michele makes it super easy and I appreciate her!”

“Sheryl was the BEST ever, and we will definitely ask for her help again. She is super reliable and sweet, and is a dog-lover for sure :-) She kept both of our dogs super happy and healthy during our time away, and kept great communication with updates and pics. Wonderful!”

Anna W.

“Erica is the one! It was our first time leaving our dogs at home while we travel, because our bulldog is getting old with health issues. She gave us thorough updates with pictures while she was at our house (We did drop ins 2 times a day). Our Westie wasn’t eating, but Erica went out of her way to make sure she was well taken care of. We will definitely use her again 😊”

Ronda H.

“Breaunna was professional and had great communication with me while I was away. I’m cautious of who I leave my fur child with, but I felt so at ease knowing she was in great hands. Would definitely recommend!”

Tyler L.

“Cheryl was wonderful during her check in visits with my kitten Callie. Very easy to communicate with and went out of her way to provide the best service. I hope she will continue to take care of my girl when needed in the future!”

Terri P.

“Jenna did a great job checking in on the cats. Refilled the food/water and cleaned the litter box.”

Robert Q.

“Priscilla was friendly and wonderful with Charlie. He is an elderly dog with special needs and we could tell he trusted Priscilla. Thank you again for easing our worry and taking care of Charlie like he was yours. We will be contacting you again.”

About: I’ve had dogs and even cats my whole life. I know how stressful it can be to choose someone to watch your dog and now that I have retired a bit early, I can focus on providing the love and care your dog deserves. I have had plenty of pets over the years, with the most recent one living to be 16 years old. Now I care for my children's pets when they go out of town! All dogs seem to be drawn to me and I practically live by the saying that "dogs are a good judge of character." I've retired early so I would love nothing more than to spend more time with animals. I am available most any time of the day and night! I live in a very safe neighborhood with a large fenced backyard. I mow the "turf" very often so that the dogs can play on "Brian's Field." We have lots of room to throw balls and a quiet neighborhood for walks.

About: I've grown up with dogs & cats the past 29 years. Animals tend to take to me very well and it's about their body language. I have open availability besides Sunday mornings. I can work with you on time of day whether morning, afternoon or evenings. Whatever works best for both of us. I do meal times, fresh water always, potty time, play time, exercise time, loving time, bonding time especially for first time pups, also helps me to get to know their quirks. I may bring them on hikes & other activities can be discussed. With my own fur baby, she loves to play and frolic in the snow. I feed her a rice, chicken, greens, frozen fruit and salmon oil diet since I’ve heard kibble can be equal to fast food. She loves walks & trail hikes.

About: I have been around animals my whole life . I have lived on a farm as a young girl. I have had fur babies through out my whole life. I have house sit with others fur babies. I have worked for a vet for two years so I’m aware of common behaviors, illness and I know when something is an emergency. Many people have left me there babies when they go away even when ones have passed they have willed me their babies. I will take care of your pets like they are mine. I know how to take care of a variety of animals. I have plenty of time! I am a mom of a teenage daughter I do not have a job outside of my home. So I am available anytime. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. I have two small dogs that are compatible with any dogs or cats I have introduced them with.

“Hannah was great. I had piece of mind knowing my fur babies were taken care of while we were away. I would recommend her and will use her for my future vacations. We had an insulin dependent cat with many medications and she took great care of her.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog, Manny, since I got him when I was 9. I also worked at a doggy day care/boarding/spa place for about 2 years and I loved everything about it! I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and it’s my passion. I just moved back to Dyersburg, my hometown, from a year in Washington state so I don’t have a 9-5 job currently, I just really want to do something with dogs so here I am! I’ll be available pretty much any time. I’ve been trained to take care of dogs before because at the doggy day care it was just me in charge of a room of like 50+ dogs and that can get crazy. I’ve learned the tells a dog gives about how they are feeling, how to break up fights and how to prevent them.

“Dana was amazing to check in on our elderly cat while we were gone. She was so kind and considerate to all of our cat’s needs and was available to talk to about our cat everyday! We are so grateful for her! 💕”

“She did a great job, was on time and everything was completed as requested, would book again”

About: I will tell you a bit about me and I need to know about your dog as well. Before contacting me about caring for your dog, make sure their profile(s) is completed here on Rover. Upload a picture and submit as much info as you can provide. It helps me determine if your dog is a good fit for what I can provide. About me: Raised in the country surrounded by both family pets and farm animals, caring for critters is second nature to me. I am a doting grandma who lives too far away from my kids to see my grandchildren so I channel that attention toward my Australian Shepherd, Gumbo, and my new puppy, Boo, the Yorki-Poo. After I lost my husband and best friend I found the best way to cope is to help others and keep busy. If I can help you out with your dog or cat while you're away, let me know. I can use the extra income but also I need to feel useful. I keep my fee low. Tips are appreciated. I board at my home in the country near Dukedom, TN. Think of boarding here as bringing your dog to Grandma's house. There will be some spoiling and if pet parents permit, homemade dog cookies! Currently I am home all the time. Your dog will be with me and my dog while here. Gumbo (30 pound neutered male) likes to play fetch or frisbee and we do this daily. I feed my dog early morning (6-7) and early evening (6-7). I give a lot of outside time when weather allows. I give my dog a lot of attention and your dog(s) will get the same. We are a pack and your dog will be part of that pack when he/she stays with us. I live on 6 acres near Dukedom, TN. My large backyard has a chain link fence. If your dog likes to play ball or frisbee this is a great yard to do it in. In addition to the backyard, I have a large field that I keep a path mowed around just for walks but to go there your dog(s) must have excellent recall or be leashed trained very well. I don't want to be pulled around or have to struggle to hold them. Dogs really like going to the field. "No" is the word I use to stop misbehavior. If there is a different word you use, let me know. It is good to know what words/phrases your dog recognizes. It'd be great if you write those down and give it to me. I have carpet throughout my living quarters so PLEASE only housebroken dogs. I give numerous long outdoor time between 5 AM to 9 PM. Potty breaks are every couple of hours. Your pet must be vaccinated! Bordatella vacs are recommended every six-to-twelve months. if your dog frequents places with other dogs, get 6 month vaccine. My dogs are vaccinated. In the warmer months, it is very important that dogs have a flea and tick preventative or have some defense against these nasty bugs because both are out here. I keep grass mowed but they still get on the dogs so make sure they have a preventative. My dogs wear clothing treated with Sawyer flea/tick spray and I have had great success with that method along with a monthly prescribed medicine. Bring your pet's food/bowls/treats along with feeding instructions. Filling out pet profile in depth on Rover helps tremendously! It has an area for vet info and anything I would need to know about your dog can be on their profile! Gumbo has dog toys that he shares but if your dog has a fave, bring it. If your dog must sleep in a bed or crate, bring it. Sometimes a sweater or anything with your scent on it comforts a dog that misses his/her owner. You're welcome to bring that. If he/she has a brush that you want me to use, bring it. I can brush dogs but have no proper facility to bathe. In the summer, I have a small dog pool to cool off in and plenty of shade in the backyard. NO cell service out here so I do not carry my phone with me. I check my messages several times thru the day but I'm not like most that have their phone on them. It does me no good. Many rural people pay for cell service despite not getting it at their homes. I have a landline that works providing my internet service works. If there is anything else you need to know, do not hesitate to ask. I have my profile set to only take in three dogs at a time. I have two so I think five is enough. I am very attentive so rest assured I am keeping a good eye on them.
