Tereza did excellent in dropping by to care for my shiba inu pancake while I was out at NYC for vacation. Despite being new to rover, she took care of him real well and pancake got along with her.

About: Hi my name is Abi. I’ve spent the last year caring for dogs of all kinds, and there’s nothing I take more seriously than making sure a pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. One thing that genuinely sets me apart: I’m experienced handling multiple dogs at once. Whether you have a duo that plays off each other’s energy or a household with very different personalities, I know how to keep the dynamic balanced and every dog feeling attended to. I am a college student currently home trying to make extra money! my time is genuinely flexible. I’m available every morning, afternoon and evening on weekdays, and largely wide open on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into that rhythm, I can stop by for midday check ins on days I have lighter schedules, and commit to longer visits or overnight stays when needed. Dogs thrive on consistency, and I build my availability around making sure they get that When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine. I follow your routines as closely as possible. feeding schedules, walk routes, commands your dog responds to, because familiarity keeps pets calm and settled. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes before any outdoor time, and I keep a close eye on interactions when multiple dogs are involved to make sure everyone stays comfortable. You’ll get updates and photos so you’re never left wondering.

About: I've been taking care of pets since 2022! I am flexible when it comes to drop-in visits and dog-walking! I have cared for my neighbors' and family friends' pets as I care for my own! Looking forward to working with you! I am currently a graduate student at UT Arlington in their social work program. I intern at Methodist Dallas Medical Center three times a week, and I work part time the rest of the week/ weekend. My schedule often varies, but I will make sure to keep my calendar updated each month. If certain times don't work for you, just let me know! I am very flexible! I have a Belgian Malinois (Star) that I walk often because of her endless energy! I enjoy playing with her whenever I am home from my internship or class. Not only will I conduct the necessities for your pet, but I will also make sure I put all my love and care into them!

About: I have been a dog walker, dog bather, kennel tech, and worked at wildlife rehab. To say I love animals is an understatement, and I can't wait to meet and care for yours! I have been pet sitting in people's homes for nearly 20 years now, and have worked professionally with animals for many years. Dogs to Hedgehogs and snakes, tell me how to best care for your pets and I will exceed your expectations. I have watched over nursing puppies in shelters, and senior dogs in veterinary care and boarding, so I have experience with animals with anxiety and giving medications. I am on summer break from work at a local school, so your little ones will have my full attention. I do have a few 2/3 hr events two evenings a week, but I will be available for any pets in training, or who may need more frequents outdoor breaks. Because I understand that for many pets, consistency is very important, I try to stick as close to your regular walk/outside schedules as possible to make sure routines are kept just that*. Since every animal is different, I will let your pet lead the way with how much attention/ what kind of enrichment they like. I don't mean to brag, but my belly rubs are the bark of the town my neighborhood. **With the summer heat, I expect any walks taken will be very early or as the sun is setting so their paws are protected.

Kelsey is really fantastic! She actually plays with my dogs during the drop-in (unlike other sitters I've had), even though they're old and grumpy sometimes, and if they're not in the mood to play, she at least talks to them and pets them. She's super-punctual and overall a lovely person.

About: ***I've had several requests for last-minute sittings. I do require a meet and greet AT LEAST 24 hours before the beginning of the stay. I want to make sure your dog(s) gets along with mine before accepting the stay! Thanks :) I've had dogs my entire life and have a love like no other! I have a 7 year old lab and a 2 year old Lab/Border Collie mix. I will be happy to spoil your furbaby while you're out of town as well! I have a backyard with plenty of playing room. I work from home 4 days a week. On the days I'm in the office, I'm just a few miles away and come home at lunch for a quick play break with the pups. I also have a doggie door that allows the pups access to the yard at any time. I will treat your pup like my own while they are in my care. If you have special requests, I will honor them. Your pet can have free roam of the house or be crated - your preference!

Another successful booking! Our furbabies are getting more and more comfortable with Wintana, especially the timid little fella; the little girl loves the rubs and cuddles Wintana provides, which makes me happy! We love the awesome pictures that Wintana took. There were a couple instances where Wintana was held up for whatever reason which caused her to be a little late, but all in all she still took good care of them and stayed around for the allotted time. Will definitely be booking again!

About: I've been to several dog trainings with my own pups and I believe I've learned a lot from them. I've owned and dogsat all types of dogs for my family and my friends. From the fear reactive to the sweet couch potatoes. I'd love to spend some quality time with your fur babies while you are away! I work a full time job Monday - Friday but I am available all day or night during the weekends! If you are interested in services during the weekday I will be available after 6pm most days. I have a chain link fenced yard with extenders for the jumpers. A big yard for your pups to run around and play. I have 3 dogs at my house to play with your pups or I can keep them separately with baby gates. I also have 2 large kennels if you prefer for me to use. I do like the small gates better for more wiggle room but I will accommodate to what you feel comfortable with. For drop ins I would love to play fetch or tug with your pups and/or feed and give them what they may need.

Corrina was awesome with my two cats! She played with my friendly, overly brave boy and won over my shy (okay, scared) girl. She adhered to my recommendations for care and schedules and asked applicable follow-up questions as needed. It was reassuring to have my pets in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Corrina to anyone and rebook whenever our schedules align.

Shelly was amazing. We couldn’t have chosen a better person to trust our pup with when we went out of town. Shelley was reliable and communicated early and often she even sent pictures along the way, so we knew our guy was well cared for it is never easy, leaving your dog behind. Shelley gave us the highest confidence that our guy was in good hands.
