Dog Sitting in Big Bend

“Thank you so much for taking my pups out and making sure they got a potty break mid day!! This allows me and my family to not worry and stress in busy days!! They were so happy to see you!!”

Sara S.

“Karen is such an amazing sitter. She's great at communicating with us, sends us photos of the boys throughout her stay, and she takes such great care of our boys while she's here.”

“Lacy went well above and beyond what was required of just setting out food, water, and cleaning the litter box. She got to know my very opinionated Queen Lilly who rules our end of the block. Lacy gave her the one on one attention and socialization she needs every day to remain calm and somewhat agreeable. Lacy won Lilly's trust and even hand fed her treats. It is the first time I returned home from a trip and did not get a two hour lecture of complaints from Lilly about how she was abandoned and left to starve with no company (which was not the case - she just did NOT like her caretaker). Happy cat = VERY happy cat owner!!”

June S.

“Took great care of our boys! Thank you!”

Emily S.

“Kelsey was fantastic with my nervous pup. She gave him the space he needed, but got him to eat dinner, and he even relaxed on the couch while I was gone, which is rare for him. She kept me updated all night and was very communicative. I'm looking forward to using Kelsey's services in the future!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have experience taking care of them. I want to become a vet and help animals everyday. I’ve dog sat before and love spending time with the pups! I’m currently a high school student who also works part time. I’m looking for a fun summer activity and would love to keep the pups company! I take care of my two dogs Hooper and Bailey! I take them on walks and find play time is necessary when getting them active!

“It was so great to be on vacation and know that our pups were being well taken care of! We especially loved all of the photos and the check up cards.”

“Vanessa did a fantastic job taking care of my babies. She sent great pictures and checked in with me about anything concerning. My babies loved her (maybe a little too much ?), I will definitely rebook her.”

“Julia was fantastic with our cats while we were gone for a month. I would not hesitate to hire her again to look after our cats next time.”

About: I’ve helped my friends and family take care of their dogs when they have needed it. I used to have a dog when I was younger that I helped take care of. I am a nanny on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but that will end when they go back to school soon. I would love to watch some furry friends on the other days I don’t work. In your own home I will use whatever is provided to take care of your pets. I will make sure to keep all doors closed when inside and use a leash when outside.

About: My experience working with dogs in the doggy daycare setting has given me many skills to apply into my dog sitting role! I have cared for dogs from itty bitty 5 pounds all the way to 150+ pounds! I also have experience administering medications to dogs including liquid form and pill form. I have mastered the task of hiding the pills well in special treats to where they don’t even notice! I have personally cared for my own senior dog who was on multiple medications daily, and needed special attention to specific details. I would love to meet you and your furry friends, and make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away! Pet care works into my daily routine as my schedule is set and very flexible, allowing me to do short drop ins throughout the day if needed or would best suit a puppy who needs those extra potty breaks! With my in home care , I strive to make the transition of “pawrents” leaving and me coming in as smooth and seamless as possible! I have a set schedule that I can work around thought the day. I am happy to follow a daily schedule that your pup is used to so they don’t get overwhelmed or stressed. I strive to send multiple pictures a day and give frequent updates. I care for pets the same way I would my own family furry friends!

“Morgan was great! She met with us prior to our visit to meet Gracie. She was prompt in responding to our request and questions. She took great care of Gracie for her drop in visit. Thank you Morgan!”

About: With years of dog-owner experience, I excel at using positive reinforcement and comforting senior dogs during mobility challenges. I meticulously tailor exercise routines, provide consistent communication with photo updates, and ensure a safe, loving environment. My reliability, empathy, and attention to detail truly set me apart as a trustworthy sitter. As a recent graduate from college, I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent attention, timely walks, feedings, and plenty of playtime. I can easily adapt to each pet’s unique needs and routines, whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles. This flexibility ensures your pet receives dependable care whenever you need it. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, and preferred playtime activities. I keep pets calm and happy by maintaining familiar routines and surroundings. When pets stay in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, exercise, and snuggles. In both settings, I prioritize safety, keep you updated with photos and messages, and treat your pet like one of my own.

“Hannah does an amazing job. Communication is super easy and she really makes your pets feel like they are her own. She really goes above and beyond what’s asked and we cannot say enough great things. We look forward to her next visit/overnight with our dogs!”

Matthew S.

“Makayla was wonderful! This was our first time having anyone do an insulin injection since our dog’s diabetes diagnosis in December. We appreciate the opportunity to leave the house and felt confident in Makayla’s skill with medication as well as her ability to love up our dogs.”

I work part-time Fridays-Sunday afternoon, but I'm available all through the week. Sunday afternoon to Thursday evening is perfect for me to help walk dogs and care for them. I have two cats and dog that I currently spoil with pets and treats, and make sure they get the play time they need. I'll make sure doing same when I'm caring for the clients fur babies.

About: I have taken care of many pets in the past years. I love to go on walks and play ball to get some energy out throughout the day!

When dog sitting, the primary responsibility is ensuring the dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while its owner is away. Here's how you can care for a dog during your dog-sitting duties: Establish a Routine: Dogs thrive on routine. Stick to the schedule for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, and bedtime that the dog is used to. This helps reduce stress and anxiety. Feeding: Follow the instructions provided by the dog’s owner about portion size, timing, and any special dietary needs. Ensure the dog has fresh water available at all times. Exercise and Playtime: Dogs need regular exercise, so make sure to take the dog for walks or let it play in a safe, enclosed area. Playtime can be a great bonding activity, so try to engage in activities that the dog enjoys, like fetch or tug-of-war. Bathroom Breaks: Take the dog out for bathroom breaks according to its usual schedule, whether it’s a couple of times a day or more often, depending on its age, breed, and health. Comfort and Safety: Make sure the dog feels at home by providing familiar bedding, toys, and any other items it typically uses. Avoid leaving the dog alone for long periods, and ensure the environment is safe (e.g., securing dangerous household items and keeping hazardous areas off-limits). Health Monitoring: Keep an eye on the dog’s health. If there are any changes in its behavior, eating habits, or if it shows signs of illness, contact the owner and/or a veterinarian for advice. Affection and Attention: Offer plenty of love and attention, but be mindful of the dog’s personality. Some dogs may want constant affection, while others might prefer some personal space. Get to know the dog’s cues and respect its boundaries. Communication with the Owner: Stay in touch with the dog’s owner to provide updates and ask any questions if needed. If any emergencies or unexpected situations arise, don’t hesitate to reach out for guidance. By providing attention, care, and safety, you can ensure a positive experience for the dog and peace of mind for the owner while they’re away.
