Dog Sitting in Alvin

“Jesika did a great job taking care of my two kitties. She was very easy to communicate with and was very detailed and thorough. I appreciated the pictures she sent and my cats were doing great when I came back!”

About: I’ve always cared well for my pets - most of which were dogs, cats, fish, ferrets, rats, mice, and when I was young this included whatever wild animals I snuck into the house - snakes, frogs, lizards, worms, ants, spiders, baby birds and bunnies and so on. I still remember my pet's names: Maggie, Romeo, Alice, TJ, Corky, Tommy, Bruce, Annie, Guy, Quito, Slinky, Tilly, Tikka, Raja, and Jet... and some of the wild ones, including "George Cooney" the baby raccoon. I'm also familiar with many different types of products and methods associated with the care of both domestic and wild animals. I spent six weeks volunteering at Valley of the Sun Dog Rescue in AZ. The work included things like cleaning kennels, holding and comforting rescue dogs during medical procedures, walking them, training them, bathing, feeding, and breaking down kennels. During this time I worked to rehabilitate a 95 lb blue pitty named Vinnie. The goal was for him to be a bit more gentle and easy to walk. He spent the first 2 years of his life pulling skateboarders. To him, a leash meant “pull hard.” His training involved daily sessions of at least 45 minutes for about six weeks. By the end he would reliably respond to “heel, sit, paw, down, come, and stay.” He could also lay down and stay put calmly for up to an hour, even off leash if need be. This is what I do for work, so I will try my best to be available whenever you need me to be. Wherever schedule conflicts arise, I try hard to be easy to work with. My pups don't use a crate but in the past I've had pups that preferred it. I let them choose as they grew up. For your pups, I will do as you ask, just as I have for every pet I've ever cared for that did not belong to me... Give me a list, and I will carefully follow your instructions while being a good caretaker, instructor, exerciser, and friend for them. My routines allow me to be flexible with my schedule, which makes it possible to provide for your pet’s needs at the time that’s most convenient for you and for them. I understand that different people and pets have different needs and will care for them the way in which I am instructed. I love the animals in my care and want to make sure they and you are comfortable with the way I’m doing things.

About: Many pet sitters provide basic care; I focus on building relationships. I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality, routines, and comfort needs. Whether it's extra playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or simply keeping their schedule consistent, I go the extra mile to ensure pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I currently work part time so I’m available to come by in the mornings before work, afternoons and evening! I’m available on weekends as well! I care for dogs in their own homes by keeping their routines as consistent as possible. From feeding and walks to playtime, belly rubs, and bedtime routines, I make sure they receive the same love and attention they're used to. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and needs. I also send regular photo updates because I know how important it is to stay connected with your furry family member while you're away.

About: I have taking care of animals my whole Life. Now I am looking for dog friends for my senior black lab. Looking forward to getting to know you pup! I am a substitute teacher and student at UHCL. I have a flexible schedule. I also have a dog door for the dogs to come in and out as needed. I feed and give my dog water. I play with him each day and we do evening walks when it is cooler. I love to give my dogs treats for well behaved manners

“Hannah was great. Lacey loved her attention. She followed directions perfectly. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Jessica was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to care of our pups while we were out of town. We got pictures and a little report card every day giving us total peace of mind that our fur babies were safe and well loved”

“Mary was so great with my doggie! He had some accidents in his kennel while I was on a trip and she cleaned it up with no problem and even came by sooner and more often. She was extremely respectful with the house and left everything better than it was. She communicated every step of the way, sent pictures, and went above and beyond. I was so relieved knowing my pup was in good hands 😊”

About: Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile! A little bit about me: I’m a third -year veterinary student at the Texas Tech School of Veterinary Medicine and a Texas A&M graduate. Caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about, and I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for just like they would with you. 🩺 I have several years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine, including working as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency settings. I’ve also cared for pets in boarding and shelter environments, so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of personalities, routines, and needs. If your pet requires medications, I’m experienced giving oral, topical, and injectable treatments with care and confidence. ⭐️Availability⭐️ Weekdays: 7:00-8:00am, 12:00-1:00pm, and evening visits, typically after 5:00pm. This can vary depending on my schedule. Weekends: Flexible availability. 📸When you book with me, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages each visit so you always know how your pet is doing! I know being away from your pets can be hard, so I want to make sure you feel confident and at ease knowing they’re in caring and good hands. As a veterinary student, I bring an extra level of knowledge, attention to detail, and awareness when it comes to your pet’s health and wellbeing. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm and gentle approach, I always adjust my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. 😊

About: I take on caring for sweet puppers in my spare time. I am a stay-at-home-mom to three sweet boys, 6 and under, and we love to play with pups and go on walks with them 💖 My partner, Travis, will help care for your furry friend if I must run an errand while your dog stays with us, but I will be the primary caregiver. It is very rare that we are all out of the home at the same time, and if so, it is never for long. I am comfortable administering medication as needed. I can care for any breed, however, some I cannot watch in my own home. I love tiny floofs, big lap dogs and everything in between. I have had a number of pets throughout my life and have loved every second of being around them. Pets are an important part to any family, big or small, and we look forward to looking after your pups and ensuring a safe, loving environment for them to thrive in while you are away. Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you and your pup! 💖 -Tara I am currently a stay-at-home-mom to three boys, 6 and under, so I am almost always home to hang out with kids and pups! The boys LOVE to go for walks, so we have no shortage of outside time - weather permitting. Pups receive regular walks, water breaks and lots of love and pets. We will pay careful attention to things owners mention like putting trash cans high-up and keeping our furry friends away from other dogs.

“Meghan was great! She came in clutch last minute when my normal sitter was out of town and responded within minutes of my request. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, sent great updates with plenty of pictures and notes, and took wonderful care of my babies. I’ll definitely use her services again in the future if my normal sitter is unavailable ❤️”

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life and have such a deep love for them. I have had dogs, guinea pigs, and cats of all ages, so I am very experienced in different species. I am here for all your pets needs and am willing to be a helping hand! I am currently a student online for the summer, so I have free time for your pets needs! I am mainly available afternoon and weekends, but can make time during the weekdays! I am able to play, feed, or simply keep them company while your pets stay comfortable in their own space. I am respectful of your home, very clean & organized, and will send updates through out, to ensure you peace of mind of how your pet is doing. No matter the animal, I will treat and care for them like my own.

“For our first experience using Rover, Mia was absolutely spot on with how she handled drop-ins. From playing with our pets, feeding them and even cleaning up an accident. It’s easy to tell she is very comfortable with various types of sizes in dogs. We highly recommend her service!”

About: I grew up helping take care of the family pets; we had cats, dogs, fish, & rabbits! I’ve always loved taking care of pets and will never say no to an opportunity to meet new ones :) I have experience taking care of: cats, dogs, fish, turtles, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, & hamsters. I have experience medicating, feeding, and basic grooming. I routinely check for potential hazards and remove them from the environment. I’m currently unemployed due to the turbulent job market, so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets. When I’m not home taking care of my own animals, I’m out looking for work or a new place to volunteer. I’m always making sure there’s no choking hazards on my pets toys & making sure their water & food are always topped off. They always get extra love & brushing at the end of the day. (And maybe a couple extra treats if they’ve been good)

“Ava was wonderful. Perfect match for what I needed. She was always on time, followed all instructions, kept everything spotless, and sent daily updates and pictures. I now have a sitter that I can trust and absolutely will be using her in the future. I would highly recommend her as your next pet sitter.”
