We have taken care of friend's pets gladly. **About my home/services** We live in a quiet country house with .5 acre of land.

We are available to exercise and enjoy your pet's visit in our house. **About my neighborhood** We live in a circle area that is quite and away from traffic.

About: I am a relief licensed veterinary technician and stay at home mom that does pet sitting on the side!! Petsitting is what I do full time now! Most of my business (90%) is drop in pet visits while owners are away on vacation, I do however offer limited (meaning 1 client at a time) free roam boarding in my own home unless I step away from the house then they are kenneled for their safety. They are able to exercise and go potty on 3/4 acre pipe fenced/no climb yard. I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses. 6 years of experience with exotics such as reptiles, birds and pocket pets. I can care for your pet inside my home or can travel to the client's home. I have experience administering SQ fluids, oral and topical medications, injections, and bandages. In my world, the pets are members of the family and I care for them as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they are accustomed to receiving from their family. I also provide other services if needed at NO CHARGE such as watering plants, bringing in the mail/newspaper, checking pool levels, etc. Petsitting, boarding, and travel grooming services is what I do full time if Im not substituting at the school! They will have frequent potty breaks to eliminate any accients. I have a pipe fence with no climb on 3/4 acre of land for them to roam and play when supervised. Other times they will be free roaming with my two goldens. If they get along other times, they will be kenneled when I am away and sleeping at night in my bedroom.

About: I have taken care of all sizes of animals ever since I was 14 years old, from horses to rabbits. Currently I have four cats, two dogs, one horse, one donkey, and four goats. Some of them have three legs and some can’t see but I have cared for them all with as much love as I can. Difficult animals are something I have dealt with as well, I understand that animals have their own boundaries that need to be respected. Right now I am a nursing student at UTA, my classes start on January 13, and when that happens, I will not be able to work on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s. I might be able to make it work if the scheduled time is much earlier or much later in the day. I have a fenced yard, and there are several gates in my house so I can separate dogs from each other if needed. I also have an area the cats can stay in if the certain pet does not like cats. I live on a 7 acre plot of land, which will give any dog enough run time to have fun and also sleep really hard by the end of the day

About: I treat every dog like my own- prioritizing safety, consistency, and lots of love. Whether it’s a quick drop walk or extended sitting, I pay attention to your dogs unique personalities and needs. You’ll get dependable service, clear communication, and a happy, well cared for pup every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be flexible, attentive, and available throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide consistent care, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company. I’m available anytime and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs, including early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or last-minute requests. Your pets will be treated like part of my daily life, getting plenty of attention, love, and reliable care while you’re away. I provide attentive, personalized care for each pet in the comfort of their home, adjusting my routine based on the service that you book. For drop in visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter cleaning, and spend quality time with your pet- whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. For dogs walking, I ensure safe, engaging walks tailored to your dogs energy level, followed by water and a quick check in before I leave. For pet sitting or extended stays, I maintain your pets normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, exercise, medication(if needed), and lots of attention and affection. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and communication. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had animals in the house for ages! I have taken care of my families animals and given some of the best gifts to my furry friends!

About: Hi, my name is Darian! I have three dogs of my own, two of them in their senior stage of life. I have been a dog sitter for almost ten years now, taking care of dogs around my community and family friends. I feel the best way to take care of your dogs is in your own household where I can keep them in their own routine! I would love to take your pups on walks around your neighborhood as well as doggy parks and other places with your permission of course! I am up for staying in your home (if you are on vacation) or dropping in every couple of hours when you need me to. Thank you for the opportunity to care for your sweet pups!

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I genuinely love! Through my volunteer work at a local animal shelter, I’ve had the opportunity to work with dogs of all different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. From energetic pups who love long walks and outdoor adventures to shy, nervous dogs who need a little extra patience and reassurance, I understand that every animal has their own personality, preferences, and needs. I’ve gained hands-on experience walking dogs, recognizing behavioral cues, helping anxious dogs feel more comfortable, and providing positive, enriching experiences. I especially enjoy getting dogs outside to explore, exercise, and enjoy their surroundings while making sure they feel safe and supported. Whether your pup loves a good adventure, leisurely sniff walks, or simply having someone nearby for companionship and affection, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind through thoughtful communication and regular updates! Pet care is already a meaningful part of my regular routine! I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, and volunteering with animals at my local shelter, so incorporating walks, playtime, and companionship into my day comes naturally. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to the pets in my care. I particularly enjoy morning and daytime walks, but I’m also happy to coordinate visits around your pet’s established routine and individual needs. Whether you’re looking for regular walks, occasional drop-in visits, or care while you’re away, I value being dependable, communicative, and consistent. I understand how important routines are for animals and always do my best to make their days feel as normal, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my top priorities. Through my experience volunteering with shelter animals, I’ve learned how important it is to pay attention to body language, recognize signs of stress or discomfort, and adjust my approach to meet each animal’s needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their familiar routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. I take care to ensure doors and gates are secure, leashes and harnesses fit properly, and pets are supervised appropriately during walks and visits. I understand that some animals need extra patience, reassurance, or space, and I never believe in forcing interactions. Building trust takes time, and I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I also believe communication is an important part of responsible pet sitting. I’ll provide updates and photos, share anything important I notice, and make sure you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. My goal is to care for your pets and respect your home with the same attention and consideration I would want for my own!
