Dog Sitting in Blue Bell

About: My pet care experience goes far beyond simply loving animals. I have cared for cats, dogs, fish, horses, small mammals, and wildlife, and I recently earned my M.S. in Wildlife Science. I have worked as a dog walker, a pet/house/plant sitter, an animal research technician caring for mice, rats, rabbits, and dogs, and as a veterinary assistant at a cat and dog vaccine clinic. I also have experience drawing blood and administering medication to a variety of domestic and wildlife animals, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and paying close attention to each animal’s needs. I am very much a cat person, too, and I understand that cats have different needs than dogs, including patience, quiet companionship, respect for boundaries, and careful attention to subtle changes in behavior. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to animal behavior, and I enjoy helping pets feel safe, whether they need a good walk, playtime, calm companionship, or plenty of cuddles. I currently work remotely part-time, which allows me to maintain a very flexible schedule for pet care. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, pet sitting, and plant care throughout the week. While I am not able to provide boarding in my own home, I am happy to provide overnight care in your home so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency by carefully following each client’s instructions and keeping pets in their familiar routines as much as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and household rules are handled with care. I also pay close attention to each pet’s body language, comfort level, and behavior, and I provide calm, respectful care that helps them feel secure while their owner is away.

“McKayla was awesome! Our cats love her and she took such good care of them! We will definitely be asking her to help again in the future! She sent tons of pictures and responded quickly too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I used to have a Shih-tzu named Eris who was a very sweet girl with lots of energy. I currently look after a French Bulldog from time to time who I absolutely love. I like working with small dogs/lap dogs but I can work with bigger dogs too. I work from home, and I have plenty of time to play with your dog or take them on walks. I spend most of my day ar my desk, and I would welcome the extra encouragement to go outside and take the dog for a walk. I live with two other family members who love dogs, so your dog will never go without attention. If your dog is small, then I will happily let them sit on my bed while I work, and I'll reach over to give them pets whenever they want. Larger dogs are welcome to lie in a dog bed by my desk, or downstairs on the couch with me.

“Jeffrey took great care of our dog Brady! He was reliable and provided frequent updates and pictures. Will definitely reuse him again in the future!”

“Jonathan completed all our scheduled visits including on a holiday and when a winter weather advisory was issued, and we're grateful for that. Our birds (who admittedly fear new people and have a history of abuse/neglect in previous homes) were hesitant maybe of his height and how fast some of his movements were, but he was kind. I think his energy level is likely a great match for dogs and extroverted or high energy level pets. Jonathan thoroughly read and referred back to the notes we wrote about our routines, which is a great sign of care.”

“Mikaela is so wonderful with Finn. This was the first time and he loved her. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She’s great! He wants to know when she’s coming back to play!”

“Brooke was fantastic! :) Always showed up on time and sent pictures and updates while catsitting for us. She was also always super easy to reach and made sure to leave things how she found them. 10/10 we'd definitely book her again!”

About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was 14 years old and have spent years helping care for my own pets as well as family pets. In addition to dogs, I currently care for my own cats and have experience looking after a coworker’s two long-haired cats and a friend’s two cats while they were away. I offer drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, fresh water refills, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or simply have a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I am available after 5:00 PM for visits, walks, and pet care. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate more time to caring for your pets. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your furry family members. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and do my best to maintain their normal routine. I will ensure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and that their environment stays clean and safe. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care that both pets and owners can feel good about. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for in my daily routine. I work full time during the weekdays, but I’m available after 5 PM for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate even more time to caring for pets and sticking to their normal routines. Since I’m already a pet owner myself, caring for animals is naturally part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away, and I always strive to provide reliable care, communication, and plenty of affection. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all instructions exactly as given, including feeding routines, litter box or potty breaks, medication needs, and any specific care preferences. I also make sure to keep things clean and tidy, and I always double-check doors, gates, and anything needed to keep pets secure. I understand that every pet is different, so I take time to learn their behavior, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re gone.

“Henry ❤️ Bryn! She took great care of him while we were on vacation. In addition to feeding and other basic care, she was his play companion and advocate. She sent us daily “action shots” that show Henry joyfully playing cat soccer, catch, and hide and seek with her. She also payed close attention to how he responded to the feeding schedule. When it seemed he was hungrier than expected, she messaged us to discuss giving him a bit more food each day. Henry and his people enthusiastically recommend Bryn for cat care!”

About: I have had pets all of my life. I grew up around dogs of all shapes and sizes. My kids (9, 6, and 4) are also used to dogs and are gentle with them. I am a teacher so I am at work from 8-3:30. During the summer, I am home most of the time. Additionally, I would be able to let the dogs free in the house during the day. We have a small yard in the front but a large side yard that the dogs would be able to enjoy. We also have a lead in the yard if the dogs would like to stay outside for extended periods. We have one dog in our home but she is used to other dogs as my family has six dogs when we are all together. We also have a cat but he typically goes into a room alone. Additionally we have gates in our home so that the dogs can stay on the floor that we are on if necessary. We have a pretty consistent schedule and I only work ten minutes from our house. So, I can stop home if necessary to care for the dogs. We have a large size yard which has a large lead in order to let the dogs roam and relax. We also take our dog for a walk in the morning, after work, and after the kids go to bed.

About: We love dogs so much! Our pup Penny loves to relax and play with others dogs. She is very kind and gets along with all dogs. Tyler works full time mostly from home but goes into the office every other Wednesday+Thursday. We have a fenced in backyard and Tyler loves taking breaks to stretch her legs to walk the dogs. We have a fenced in yard, and dogs are allowed on the furniture. We can easily crate your dog if needed and keep our dog in our room at night.

“Morgan was so helpful and communicative! We so appreciated her help and could tell the dogs felt comfortable and taken care of with her there. Will definitely be using her in the future, thanks so much Morgan!”

“Madison was very attentive during the meet and greet and took great care of Oliver and Remi while I was gone and provided great pictures and updates! She filled the cat feeders, water bowls, and even emptied and fixed the litter robot when required. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the fact that I will love and care for your dog as if it was my own. I’ve been babysitting my neighbors dogs for about 2 years now, so I’m experienced with different types of dogs! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. There’s a lot of times within the day where I will be able to stop by and check on your dog! I provide loving and reliable pet care in clients’ homes by following each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.

“Tracy took great care of my two cats while I was away for ten days. That gave me peace of mind knowing they were safe and had such companionship. She sent lots of pictures of my babies loving on her and even cut their nails! Thank you, Tracy!”

About: I have been taking care of pets for 12 years now and I couldn't see myself doing anything else. I truly have a passion for pet care! I love getting to know each dog and their unique personalities. When they stay with me they are treated as part of the family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members Pet care is my full time job. I have availability for walks daycare or overnights depending on your needs. Reach out and we can discuss what's best for you! I do leashed walks in my neighborhood. We keep their schedule as close to what they are used to at home. I always try and make them feel like part of the family

About: I’ve had animals of all kinds throughout my life. From the moment I was born I had an older dog brother! As I grew into adulthood I really had a fondness for cats and now I love them just as much. We’ve also had a few tank mates along the way! My family and I treat any animal babe as they are our own. Nice to meet you! ❤️ I’m a stay at home mom with a spouse, little boy, and baby girl. Your pet will have 24/7 care. I always guarantee fresh food, water, playtime and lots of love. I currently don’t have any furry friends anymore. My schedule is open during the day. Only thing I do regularly outside my home is the gym and groceries. Whatever needs your pet has I can accommodate! Your baby will have space for food, toys, and anything else that will make them feel at home. They can sleep wherever they like. I live in a two floor condo. If they don’t want to hang downstairs they can always play fetch upstairs in my master bedroom. There’s open areas outside in my development they can play as well.

About: I’ve grown up with animals my entire life, including several dogs and cats. Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. I am currently employed full time Monday - Thursday but am available after work most days. I am available all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and behavioral tendencies. I have grown up with multiple pets and am comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing a safe, loving environment for every animal.

About: It wasn't until 2012 when I rented a home with a fenced yard that I adopted my first canine companion. Prior to that time, I always lived with cats and was the friend people thought of when they needed someone to do house and pet-sitting. I sat with quite a few small dogs, as well as a giant pit bull named Miles and a sweet special needs senior lab named Boogie. In my rural home on 3 acres are two 20 pound terriers named Jack and Sadie. They do not have a fenced yard to run around in, but always get at least three good walks each day (locally, on trails, dog parks). They're extremely bonded and are good with other small dogs and cats.

“Liz was great! We were able to easily communicate and plan out the visits. They stopped by to get a key ahead of time and I was able to show them the lay of the land. Our kitties don’t usually like to come out for strangers but all three were out! This was our first Rover experience and Liz made sure it was great!”
