Dog Sitting in Big Bend

“This is the first time we have used this type of service and we were very hesitant to try it. But after meeting with Patricia we were convinced it was a good choice. Our dogs took to her right away and eased any concerns we had. The pictures and report cards were great!! Next time we need someone to help out with our furry kids we will be contacting Patricia again.”

About: I have taken care of animals for family and friends. I have had many animals myself that I have raised and care for, I love playing with them too. I’m currently free most of the day but once September hits, I start school. I am free to play with animals or taking them for walks. Depending on the home someone has, I am able to accommodate with having dogs on leashes or in a fenced area. I love playing with dogs and making a connection with them.

About: I love to go on walks and understand busy pet parent schedules. I’ve had great danes my whole life so I am comfortable with larger dogs. I have helped with my neighbors and parents coworkers dogs since I was 10. Will take most same day appointments I work part time with a pretty open schedule. tuesdays and thursdays are my busiest so i will most likely not be available during the day. I love playing with all types of dogs. I also understand how to deal with older and younger dogs. I am very familiar with crates, fenced in yards, and all different types of leashes/harnesses.

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! I have lots of free time throughout the day because I work nights. I am always looking for things to do and my dog would love a new friend! I have a big back yard for my dog to play in! I also live right near lots of hiking trails that I can take them on!

“Was available on short notice and did a great job. Showed up when we discussed, communicated often and shared pics!”

“Rianna is so sweet with my pups. While they are very low maintenance, she goes out of her way to be super sweet and patient with them. 2 big thumbs up and I will continue to book her for my daily dog needs.”

About: My daughter Alice, age 12 has been dog sitting for 2 years and is looking to expand her client base! She loves animals and hopes to work with animals as a profession one day. We have had dogs and cats her entire life, and have fostered over 30 dogs. She is extremely active and loves walking or taking dogs for a run! She also loves to snuggle and pet dogs, but also is great with feeding, medication and cleaning up after them. She takes pet sitting very seriously! We always attend jobs with her and are available to help with communication and safety. I also work from home so I am happy to do midday visits while she is at school. As a working professional, I am also trustworthy and reliable, so good with humans as well as dogs! I am very open with communication and will be honest and upfront about how things are going. I provide regular updates and will also work with you to make a plan that works the best for you and your dogs. I work from home so we have very flexible availability. Typically Alice will do a morning visit before school, and I will come during the day and the she does evening and night time visits. We can be very accommodating as well! While we prefer to come to your home, pets are welcome here if they are good with cats and dogs! We communicate after every visit and follow all instructions around pet care! Alice is very careful and pays close attention to every detail.

“Justine was booked for daily drop ins for my two cats. She responded to messages quickly and followed my drop in requests perfectly. I would rebook and highly recommend her services.”

About: I’ve been dog walking and dog sitting for many years for neighbors etc. I also took a vet class in high school to learn more about animals. I worked at a dog and cat boarding and daycare center and even volunteered in Guatemala at a dog sanctuary for 3 weeks. My dream is to one day run my own dog shelter. I am currently working part time so I would have plenty of availability to stay with your pets! I work Tuesday, Thursday, and every other weekend from 7-3 so all other times I am available! Caring for pets in my client’s home correctly would be extremely important to me. Making sure the pets are comfortable and taken care of in every way is my top priority.

About: 75% of my life has been spent with dogs. In 2017 and after saying goodbye to our 13 year old yellow lab, I brought home a 10 week old German Shepard/Border Collie mix. He is a rescue from Oklahoma. I trained, potty trained, raised and still love Bandit. Last November an 8 week old Catahoula Leopard mix from the WI Humane Society was added to the equation. Pirate and Bandit are best of friends. Before Pirate, Bandit was anxious, skidding, ran away from and would go to only a select few. Who knew all he needed was his own emotional support dog?! He is a completely different dog. Friendly, not skidding, loves to play and run. Pirate is the same size at a year old as Bandit (approx 65 lbs. each) I am partially retired which gives me the availability and flexibility to come, play and stay in your home. Specific days of availability are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and through Sunday mornings. My only goal is to provide World Class service to you and your pets. I am able to administer medications, feed, potty and any other general care needed in your absence.

“We had to cancel- forgot appt was scheduled on Mothers Day”

“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've had cats my entire life and have volunteered at an animal shelter. While I only have one cat now, I've cared in-depth for dogs, reptiles, rabbits, and other small mammals. I've helped care for a senior pet that needed regular meds and frequent reprieves for bladder control. As a student and part-time caretaker, I am fully available for your pet-care needs. I can be as frequent or as seldom a visitor as you feel your fur/scale baby requires! I am familiar with socialization, crate training, daily activity, and all-around love that is required for dogs and cats. I am no stranger to the more hands-off needs of a small mammal or scaled friend, and am comfortable handling all sorts of pets. I am respectful of a client's home and will treat it as if it were my own. I am also a former laundress and cleaner, and am open to that help if it is needed.

“Megan took such great care of my cat Mac! She sent pictures and notes to let me know how he was doing. He is a shy cat and she waited patiently for him to come to her:)”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for around 30 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have all trusted me to love and care for their sweet animals! I am currently working part time, so that leaves me lots of time to spend with your animals. Mornings, later afternoons, evenings and weekends are open. I live on 3 acres with plenty of room to roam and run around! I also have four children who will happily love and play with your sweet animals.

“Maya was excellent with Rosie and Rudy. I knew they were well cared for while I was away, which gave me peace of mind during my travels!”

About: I absolutely love pets and will ALWAYS do my very best to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of! I enjoy building trust between the pet and I to ensure a safe environment for the both of us. I have 3 dogs of my own and know what it’s like to worry about your fur babies in the hands of other people, my first priority is to have the client comfortable with my abilities to take care of their beloved pet. I’m a part-time student with an extremely flexible schedule! I’m always free during day time hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00AM-4:00PM. I’m typically not available during the weekends, but I may be available to work with you upon request. I treat every pet I care for like they are my own. I pay close attention to each pets routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and medication, ensuring they receive the same care and attention they would get from their owners. Their happiness and comfort will always be my priority.
