House Sitting in Christine

About: I have worked 4 years in the veterinary medicine field as a credentialed certified veterinary assistant and I have cared for many animals at many stages in life. I am able to provide high quality care with giving medications, subcutaneous fluids if needed, subcutaneous injections if needed for those medically diagnosed, and are able to know body language extremely well. I am very flexible and am open to moving my schedule around for any time that will be more accommodating to my client to help them feel more at ease. I always go above and beyond for my babies and would do the same for clients as well. I’ve always had a heart for animals since I was young and as I have helped animals in more conditions than 1, ranging from puppy-senior, healthy-chronically ill, I have a background that is made to have an attention to detail for fur babies and can put your mind at ease knowing your babies are in great hands.

About: I am a graduate student at the University of Idaho and am missing having everyday interaction with animals. I volunteer at a local shelter occasionally on the weekend, and I have 2 dogs of my own back in California, so I have tons of experience. I'm more comfortable with dogs. I have a pretty flexible schedule and spend most days at home doing schoolwork. I would love to help you and your fur babies out in any way possible, so please don't hesitate to reach out !! I can guarantee a quick response and am flexible with cancellations etc. My schedule is very flexible, and a majority of the time will be spent caring for your fur baby. This summer I am looking for something to keep my mind off of things and what better way than to get some doggy cuddles. When coming to your home I wanted you dogs to feel safe and comfortable as if you were there. All the dogs I care for are treated as my own!

About: I’ve taken care of my grandmothers pets for about 2 years now. Pets are a huge part of my life and I love taking care of my animals and hope to help others. I’m currently working a part time job at a fast food restaurant. My schedule varies week to week. With all my studies done for the summer I have more time to care for pets and animals. I have a fenced yard and one Great Pyrenees to keep your company pet friendly company. So much yard space to encourage your dogs zoomies :)

“Mariah was AMAZING! Cheerful, personable, timely and very caring for our 4 legged children! Will most definitely request her in the future! Our home was left spotless, our children had a seamless transition while we were away all routine was spot on! Daily pics were sent and updates too. Thank you Mariah!”

About: Hi neighbors! When I’m not in the classroom, I’m hanging out with my 6-year-old Chihuahua and enjoying the outdoors. Since I have some extra time [on weekends/this summer], I’d love to help care for your furry family members! Reliable & Patient: Years of experience managing classrooms (and one sassy Chihuahua). Flexible: Available for walks, potty breaks, or pet sitting. Local: Right here in the neighborhood! Message me for rates and availability. I can't wait to meet your pups! PM me if you need a hand with: Afternoon walks Feeding/Check-ins Weekend sitting I have time after school and on weekends to care for your pet! The "Safety Check" Protocol: Upon arrival, I do a quick sweep of the "danger zones" (ensuring trash cans are closed, loose items are off the floor, and gates are secure). Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety. Communication: You’ll get "Report Cards" (updates and photos) after every visit so you know exactly how they’re doing. Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Murphy! She was so attentive, loving, and truly treated Murphy like her own. She went above and beyond with everything we asked of her (and more!), and we could tell how happy and comfortable Murphy was the whole time. She also left our house absolutely beautiful and spotless, which was such a wonderful thing to come home to. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Murphy was in the best hands. We’ve already rebooked her for our upcoming trip, and we feel so lucky to have found her. Murphy adores her, and so do we!”

About: Mature (50+) & Reliable House & Pet Sitter with a Lifetime of Animal Experience **I understand that pets are family!** Growing up, there was always at least one dog in the house, along with a few cats over the years. As an adult, I've shared my home with many dogs and cats and understand that every animal has its own personality, routines, and quirks. **Your fur babies are my fur babies** My mother has worked as a pet sitter for decades, and I've assisted her with pet-sitting assignments involving dogs and cats. Through those experiences, I became comfortable caring for animals with different needs, temperaments, and schedules. **Because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule** I can often provide more companionship and supervision than sitters who are away at a traditional job during the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet company, or simply sticking to a familiar routine, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. **Does your dog or cat need a buddy while you're away?** While I haven't had a pet of my own in the last few years, I still genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the responsibility involved in caring for both pets and the homes they live in. **Say no to the kennel** I believe the best pet care comes from patience, observation, and respect for each animal's unique personality. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and to give you peace of mind knowing your home is being well cared for too. **I work remotely** Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. My children are grown, and I currently don't have pets of my own, which means I have the time and flexibility to focus on the pets in my care. When caring for your pets, I can typically provide: • Frequent potty breaks and walks • Consistent feeding schedules • Plenty of companionship throughout the day • Playtime, enrichment, and attention • Medication administration when needed • Careful monitoring of pets who are shy, anxious, or prone to escaping • Regular updates and photos for owners Because I'm often home during the day, your pets won't be left alone for long stretches of time. I understand that most animals are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I make it a priority to keep feeding times, walks, medications, and daily habits as consistent as possible. My goal is simple: happy pets, a well-cared-for home, and peace of mind for you while you're away. When someone invites me into their home and entrusts me with their pets, I understand that they're placing a great deal of trust in me. I take that responsibility seriously. My approach is simple: • Follow your instructions and routines carefully • Keep doors, gates, and potential escape routes secure • Pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or activity levels • Maintain a clean, respectful environment in your home • Communicate promptly if questions or concerns arise • Provide updates and photos so you can relax while you're away I believe pets feel safest when their world remains predictable. Whether I'm caring for a confident dog, a shy cat, or a household with multiple animals, I focus on creating a calm, stable environment that helps them feel comfortable while you're gone. My goal is for you to return home to happy pets, a well-cared-for house, and the confidence that everything was handled with care and attention.

About: Whether your dog needs play time or a quiet environment, they will love hanging out with me and my 4 legged companion. When I'm not working, my dog and I go on some pretty cool adventures together and he loves it when I dog sit a dog at his speed. Your dog will not be cooped up in a kennel unless you make this request. When they are not playing, your pet will be kept indoors. I have over 10 years of working with bully breeds and hybrids. High energy breeds is my field of expertise. My home is minutes from the beautiful San Antonio River and we visit there often. Some of our favorite hangouts are, the Pearl Brewery, San Antonio Riverwalk, Alamo Quarry, Calaveras Lake and many nature trails in our area. I will spoil your Best Friend as I do my own. Proceeds from my Pet sits will benefit my non profit that provides emergency groceries for Homebound Seniors. About this sitter: I totally get it! Let me visit your pets in the comfort of their own home. I'm use to traveling and frequent the major cities of TX every month. I am very familiar with the city of S.A. and surrounding. Your dog will receive a walk twice a day if you would like him or her to. I have trained and worked with all breeds and sizes so no dog is too big or high energy for me! Why I love dog sitting My Grandfather raised German Shepherds and my Father loved Large Breeds. Growing up, I remember always having dogs. In 2000 I started a group called Mutt Rescue & Adoption to help save dogs that are pending euthanasia at the city Pound. Our group rescued and transported animals nationwide. We saved thousands of dogs from euthanasia! My experience administering medication I can administer medication by oral or injection. I can take your do on early morning walks/runs or late runs, temperature and weather permitting. I am an avid runner so high energy breeds work great with my lifestyle! I try to stick to the dog's current schedule. If it's a puppy, then I help with the toilet training process. I do have 2 cats in my home, but they can be separated to another bedroom if your dog does not co exist well with cats.

“Sophia is a great sitter she took great care of dogs and cat. She was very professional and provided us the peace of mind we needed for our vacation. I would highly recommend and will use her again myself again for any future travel plans. Thank you Sophia”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for many breeds, including pit bulls, yorkies, shih tzus, german shepherds, and french bulldogs. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I’m very patient, attentive, and comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable while away, and I always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and happy in my care. 🐾 Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I currently have a very flexible routine and plenty of availability throughout the week. I love spending time with animals, going on walks, playing, and making sure pets get lots of attention and care while their owners are away. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to accommodate different pet care needs whenever possible. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by owners. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and hope to continue learning more about animal care because I truly love working with pets and building trust with both pets and their owners.

“Took amazing care of my three dogs and home! Can’t recommend Victoria enough :) Great communication and followed instructions to T”

About: It is my favorite to train the dog here, so that the dog can not only have a good body, but I can also exercise with the dog myself and relax. I go out for a run with my dog every day, which not only works my body but also builds a trusting relationship between us. This way I can take better care of the dog and life. It is a must to go for a walk every day and take the dog to the park to play. Grooming, regular feeding, oral cleaning, nasal cleaning, ear canal cleaning, etc.
