Dog Sitting Big Bend

“Allison was great! My very timid rabbit warmed right up to her. Also her detailed notes of each daily check in gave me confidence that I had nothing to worry about!”

“I would recommend Katie 1000 times over!!! She provides me with photos, updates and any questions or concerns she may have while with my pup. My husband and I both started new jobs which have turned into very lengthy days away from home. Stella, my German Spitz, would be home alone for 12 hours. She doesn’t play well with others dog so day care was not an option. I decided to look into Rover. I found Katie, After our meet and greet We all decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did. She provides me peace of mind that my little girl is getting a visit by someone who is as compassionate about dogs as I am. If you need someone to walk your dogs or simply just drop in…. She is your GAL!”

About: I’ve handled pets for 10 years with compassion, warmth, and love like they’re my own. Friends and family have relied on me plenty of times to take care of their fur babies; whether it be a walk, a quick check-in, or sitting for a night. My personality adds comfort and ease to any family. I currently work remote full-time Monday-Friday 7am-3pm, so any needs after 3pm, I am your caregiver! If a quick visit is needed on a lunch hour, that is always no problem as well. I am free all day most weekends for any pet needs, including boarding or sitting. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly. We have a brand new, fenced-in dog park. There is a huge unfenced yard where dogs can be taken out on a leash. My apartment can accommodate most things such as a crate, toys, food, and other animal necessities.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, especially larger breeds, and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve personally owned two Pit Bulls, one weighing 70 pounds and the other 132 pounds, along with a Pomeranian, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels! My family has always had larger dogs and has trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I’ve also helped friends with cat sitting, so my love and experience extend beyond just dogs! For the past year and a half, I’ve been a stay-at-home mom, which has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and maintaining a loving, attentive environment. I understand that pets are family, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or just some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own pets! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week, including weekdays and could be flexible depending on weekends. I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship while you’re away. My 1½-year-old would accompany me during visits, so I ask that pets be comfortable and safe around young children. I understand how important it is to find someone dependable to care for your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving, and attentive care while working around your pet’s individual routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! While I do not offer pet care in my own home, I’m more than happy to provide care in the comfort of yours, where your pets can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds, as well as smaller dogs and cats. I understand that every animal has its own personality, needs, and boundaries, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Since my young child accompanies me, I only accept pets that are comfortable around toddlers. I prioritize safe interactions, close supervision, and respecting each animal’s personal space. I’m also happy to follow any specific feeding schedules, walking routines, household rules, or special instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving dependable, compassionate care while you’re away!

About: I’ve worked with animals my entire life, growing up with pets to helping neighbors, family, and friends with pets. I have worked in pet stores and vet clinics and lots of pet sitting! I work at a school part time and I am looking for a side hustle that I will enjoy and love during the summer while school is out and even when school is back! I am super open for the next month or two! I make sure all the needs given by the owner is done efficiently and thoroughly as well as giving the love and affection needed for the pet!

About: For some reason, every dog I've ever met loves me. I absolutely adore dogs. I've been dog sitting for 17 years for friends and family. I've taken care of shy, skittish, hyper, calm, anxious, and every other type of dog personality. I have a calming way about me that dogs love. I'm incredibly trustworthy, detail oriented, careful, loving, and protective. I am willing to help out in any way needed to make your dog as happy as possible. The dog in my profile is my former dog Roxy. I rescued her from a shelter. She was my best friend. No one would choose her for a forever home because she had a lot of social needs. I was able to work with her on these needs and did a lot of training and she became an amazing dog. I can't wait to meet your dog or dogs and give them the care that they need.

“This chick is phenomenal! She has a great personality and is very engaged with animals. My German shepherd loves her and even gets to play in the water with her. Her communication skills are stellar. I received live updates and photos while at work. If you want someone reliable and dedicated to your fur babies, she is it. I HIGHLY recommend her! <3”

About: My unconditional love for all animals. Every cat or dog that I meet I treat and cherish as if they were my own fur baby. I do work a full time job, 8-4 Mon-Fri. However, I am looking to use some of my free time taking care of your fur baby! I do my best to maintain whatever routine you have with your fur baby. I am willing to go the extra mile to make your pup feel safe and comfortable while you are away.

“One of my cats is very anxious and shy. Heather did a fabulous job! He was not eating well for the first few days and as such was not getting the med that was put in his food. She was able to “pill him” successfully which helped his anxiety and he came around and stopped hiding and ate a little better the rest of the days I was gone. Peace of mind that all was being addressed! I would book her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Heather!”

“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was a child. I grew up taking care of my aunts dog. She was my best friend. I have been asked to take care of many loved ones animals and I have always been reliable and trustworthy. I work at puppies and yoga on the weekends. During the week I work at a thrift store in the mornings. I am a student at Matc and I have morning and afternoon classes on Wednesdays and Fridays. The best time for me to walk the dogs and pet would be the afternoon. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while always following the owner’s specific instructions and keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention and affection. I also keep their environment clean, comfortable, and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their home and follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, crates, and house rules. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable knowing their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs of different breeds, as well as family and friends when they need a sitter. I have trained all my dogs from pit bull to teddy bear Bichon shih tzu. I’m currently taking a break from work to focus on my school, and think this would be a great way to help me make sum money to help with schooling Hi I have a nice sized fenced in yard as well as a park and great walking trail by my home. The house is spacious, and doggy friendly.

“Jack was so patient and understanding with our nervous Luna. Would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. I have an active dog of my own who loves going on long walks, so I’m very comfortable keeping energetic dogs active and entertained. As a high-level athlete, I’m active myself and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, whether that’s walking, playing, or simply spending time with a pet. I’ve also helped neighbors care for their animals while they were away. Right now I’m training in Milwaukee and have practice at 3:30 so I can take care of your pet during the day but also after practice if needed. Would be preferred if I did at the clients house but I live in a apartment right now they have a dog park and sorts.

About: I grew up with cats all my life and have spent time taking care of them while dog sitting dogs of all ages for my neighbors. I have done walks, feeding, emptying litter boxes, given medications, and taking them to appointments! I’m currently applying to residency programs and have more time on my hands to spend taking care of animals! This allows me flexibility to take care of pets most days of the week where I don’t have an interview. My girlfriend and I do not currently have a pet at home, unfortunately. While caring for others’ pets, I enjoy ensuring that they don’t become lonely while their people are gone!

“Paige took great care of our Buddy Boy while we were gone! We loved getting the detailed updates and multiple photos - you could tell he was well taken care of by his demeanor when we got back :) Thank you, Paige!!”

“Kaleigh was ready and available to get me setup with the dates I needed, even with short notice. My cats were loved and cared for exactly to my instructions and even helped the turtle even though that was optional. I received clear pictures of each cat per visit which gave me piece of mind. I do plan to re-book with her for our next trip.”
