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.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a kid. I’ve been dog sitting for the last five years. I currently have two floof balls of my own who LOVE other animals. I live in the country and have a big fenced back yard, so if your pups stay here, they’ll have lots of walks and playtime. I can’t wait to give love to your furry best buddy! I work full time from home, and use every break I have to take my dogs on a walk or play with them outside. I’m a super active individual so walking dogs just makes outdoor cardio that much more fun. I have a fenced in yard, am really aware of my dog’s moods because I’m here all the time, and have lots of space for the dogs to spread out if they need some alone time.

Robin is the best pet sitter/walker we have ever had. She is thoughtful and thorough and all our pets love her. She takes excellent pictures and we feel so much better when she checks in on our pets.

Angel was very sweet and understanding. I had gotten a bonus last minute and was able to fly home for Christmas but no one was willing to watch my kitty for me. She stepped up and made sure she was taken care of and even eased my worries of leaving my kitty alone for the first time. I definitely recommend her!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I worked for a short time at a doggy daycare attending to dogs of every shape and size. I personally have 5 dogs that I love dearly and would motivate me to treat customer dogs the same. I'm currently working part time So I can work with customers on what schedule would best fit their animals needs. I'll make sure I understand the animals routine before beginning services. I will happily accommodate whatever the customer wants with their fur baby in their home. I will follow whatever routine is necessary. Drop in visits will be discussed with clients thoroughly as to provide the best care possible.

About: I love all animals. I’ve both taken care of and owned all size, age, and breeds. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I am currently working from my home and are afforded the opportunity and flexibility to watch, care for, and/or board your pets at all times! 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.

Sanjuanita was great with my dude, Garfield while i was out of town. I would definitely recommend her - she took the time to come by and meet me and the G prior to the trip, and although I was vacationing in an area with VERY spotty cell service and didn't receive updates until I was reconnected, I was reassured that my fur baby was well cared for while I was gone when I was able to review photos of Sanjuanita's visits.

I have a fenced in backyard they can play in, and a very comfy house where I let animals on the furniture and there’s also plenty of toys for them to play with!

Please give me the opportunity to meet your pet care needs. I'm retired, I love my pets who are my top priority in planning my daily activities.
