About: I have had dogs most of my life. I like cuddle bugs who like to take walks. Large, small I like them all. I don't mind messy and senior dogs are some of my favorites. I work at the prisons in Gatesville. I work 2 to 10 evenings but can still stay the night. My schedule is 6 days on and 3 days off. If you have 3 months advanced notice I can ask for time off to watch your babies I will follow all instructions. Everything your pet needs I will provide. While I work for you, I will make sure your babies have everything they need per your wishes.
About: Hello pet parents, I have four pets of my own, however they do not live with me. I’m going to school to become a vet and am close to finishing my bachelors degree in animal science, soon I hope to apply for graduate school. I have two male dogs and two female cats. I’ve worked at a vet clinic before and handled boarders and more! I can handle almost anything and I love all kinds of companions! Just message me for your sitting needs! I’m currently looking for a part time job while in college so aside from my school days on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the semester, I’m free. It truly depends on how the animal feels about me (a stranger) in their home. Ultimately, it’s their home… I'm simply a supervisor that’s there to cater to their needs, whatever that may be.
About: I have 3 german shepherd that I have taken care of since they were puppies. I love the way dogs can interact with people and the love they are willing to offer. I am able to do CPR on dogs if ever needed. I am compassionate and caring because thats all they need. Each dog may be different but they all share a common feeling which is wanting love and care. I connect with them fast. If there are any special needs as far as the walks or when coming to check on them let me know. It will be my great pleasure to play and walk your dog because it's what I love doing. As my heading describes, they are the only ones that can see your true heart.

I have a fenced yard and friendly pups that can either be a part of the fun or not. I also have a crate if needed.
“It’s always tough to be away from my two cats knowing they are used to being so spoiled by me. JUANITA was completely accepted by them!! They easily interacted with her, which says a lot—since cats are so aloof and finicky. She gave them tons of attention, and I always got thorough reports. I am SO pleased and happy with her services. Wow did I have a better time knowing she visited them while I was away! Book this lady when you need someone to care for your fur babies!!”
