Dog Walking Barton Creek

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs and helped watch pets for friends and family for several years. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy and vocal dogs since I’ve owned a Husky and a Sheltie, so barking, excitement, and big personalities don’t bother me at all. I genuinely enjoy walking dogs (even for free while dog sitting) because it’s calming for both me and the dog (as long as the owner is okay with it). I also take pet safety seriously. One dog I was caring for had eaten something it shouldn’t have before the owners left town. While dog sitting, I noticed the dog was acting unusual and decided to take it to the emergency vet right away while keeping the owner updated throughout the process. The dog ended up being okay, and I always try to stay attentive, calm, and communicative when caring for a pet. I recently graduated and am currently searching for jobs, so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available every day of the week and have a very flexible schedule throughout the day! I always try to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed whether I’m in my home or the owner’s home. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, walks, medications, and anything else the owner wants done a specific way. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I’m very attentive to unusual behavior and believe in keeping owners updated if anything seems off. I also respect people’s homes and try to leave everything exactly how I found it.

About: Hola everyone! My name is Lyana, and I wanted to share my wonderful experience as a pet and house sitter companion. As someone who adores animals and has a knack for taking care of homes, this role has been a perfect fit for me. I've had the pleasure of caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, and even some exotic animals. Each furry or feathery friend has brought so much joy into my life. One of the things I love most about being a pet and house sitter companion is the opportunity to build strong bonds with the animals I care for. Whether it's playing fetch with a lively pup or curling up on the couch with a purring cat, the love and companionship they provide is truly heartwarming. It's incredibly fulfilling to know that I'm making a positive impact on their lives while their family is away. In addition to the joy of spending time with animals, house sitting allows me to explore different neighborhoods and communities. I've had the chance to discover beautiful parks, scenic hiking trails, and charming local spots, all while ensuring the safety and security of the homes I'm entrusted with. It's like having a mini adventure every time I take on a new house sitting assignment. I enjoy engaging in stimulating conversations with the pets or providing a calm and peaceful environment through yoga and meditation, I strive to create a positive and enriching experience for both the animals and the home. Being a sunrise person, I love starting my day bright and early, ready to tackle any tasks that come my way. This allows me to provide the utmost care and attention to the pets and house, ensuring that everything runs smoothly during the owners' absence. Outside of my pet and house sitting duties, I have a passion for baking, hiking, traveling, and freelance work. These interests keep me inspired and motivated, and I'm always eager to share my experiences and tips with others. If you're in need of a reliable, responsible, and compassionate pet and house sitter companion, I would be honored to be of service. Rest assured that I will treat your pets and home with the utmost care and respect, providing them with the love and attention they deserve. Kindly reach out to me to discuss your needs.

About: I have loved and lived with animals my entire life, growing up with dogs since birth. I currently care for parents dog and cat, which gives me daily, hands-on experience managing different pet personalities, feeding schedules, and keeping both dogs and cats happy and safe. This summer, I am taking online classes from home and do not have a full-time job. This gives me a completely open, highly flexible schedule. I will be spending the vast majority of my day directly at your home, meaning your pets will have constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention. Safety and respect are my top priorities. I treat your home with the utmost care, keeping everything clean, secure, and locked. I also send daily photo and text updates so you always know your pets are safe, happy, and thriving.

About: I am a pet lover, owner, and love all animals. I am passionate about their care, and treat them as my own. I have a tuxedo cat, and live with a yellow lab. I have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, pet rats, assertive roosters, chickens, and even the basics for horses. Big dogs don’t scare me! I am confident about delivering medication needed for your pet, and will take the best care of your pets. I lead with responsibility, and details are important to me. I monitor and watch for issues with your pets. I am generally avoidant of other dogs, just because of the unknowns of how they may interact. I will collect mail, water plants, gather packages, scoop poop and take out trash as needed. I always try to leave someone’s home as if I were never there. I am currently working from home remotely. I have flexibility in my schedule for early morning, lunch time, and afternoon visits/walks. For overnights/sleepovers and staying at your house I require a reliable internet connection (working remotely). I also have safety lights/reflective items if we are walking in the dark. I treat pets as my own, giving pets, loving, and brushing. If allowed I invite them to sleep with me and sit on the couch with me. I take thorough instructions on walks, safety, feedings, medications, schedules, and follow them. It’s important to me the health and wellbeing of the pets I’m with. I will also send pics, videos, and updates throughout my visit. I believe in lots of fresh water, watch the heat and weather for your pets. I am cautious when walking and give a lot of space between other walkers and dogs. I like to be informed of any reactive behaviors, or things to watch out for.
