Pet Sitting Denton

About: I've cared for dogs on and off since high school, and now as a college student with a golden doodle of my own, I know how important companionship is for our furry friends. My roommate also has a golden doodle, and when she's away, my pup really misses having a friend. I started pet sitting to give her more social time and to meet new pups! I also love to walk and have extra free time since I'm taking low credit hours. Whether your pet needs company or solo care, I'm happy to provide a loving and flexible experience! I have a very flexible schedule due to my college classes, on most days my dogs aren't alone for longer than an hour or two, I would treat your dog the same. Every dog needs their person and I would love to be that stand in! I will care for the pets the way you need me to. Normally, we spend lots of time in our backyard playing, we take cuddle naps, we go on walks for about an hour a day (more when we get bored), and lots of fetch!

“Kirstin did a great job checking in on our extra shy kitty! Consistent communication and provided nice photo updates during each check-in. I appreciated her notes after each visit and our "meet and greet" before the first visit.”

“Kylie is the best!! She was able to watch Queso when my flight was canceled and rebooked for the next morning. Would give 10 stars if the scale went up that far!!”

“Jenica is great with Argos! He warmed up to her quickly. I appreciate that she takes the time to fill out the "report card" and tell me a little bit about their time together, especially since I'm transitioning to being in the office so often versus being at home for 6 months. She responds quickly, and she's just very kind overall. I'll be continuing to book with her for our drop-ins!”

“I rarely give 5 star reviews, but Lora was so amazing! She said our dogs were the first ones she did visits with, but our dogs seemed happy in every picture she sent us. She visited as discussed, took time to give them scritches and love on them. I was really impressed and so long as we live in Lincoln we will be reaching out to Lora for our fur babies.”

About: I’ve always had family dogs and cats! Always helped with families pets, volunteered at animal shelters, and have used other walk/sitting apps before. Never met an animal I didn’t love! Full time student at UNMC, looking for part time care. Available for walks mostly in the evenings and on weekends, and available for sitting most of the time! I will look after your pets as if they were my own! I will treat each and every pet with respect and acknowledge their specific needs!

“Amy did such a great job taking care of our pets. Our cats and dog have some separation anxiety issues, but they had no issues thanks to Amy’s attentive visits. She was prompt, and followed all of our small silly wishes. We look forward to using her services again.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I started watching over and caring for friends and family’s’ dogs since I was 10. Dogs are my all time fav and I can’t wait to care for yours! I am currently a full-time college students, also involved in extracurriculars but still have plenty of time to care your pups! Im available for walks MWF from 7am-10am; TTh from 7am-1pm. I can also make evening drop ins work through conversation! I am super flexible on care in your home. I can serve to whatever your dog needs whether that’s some play time or needing to be fed!

“Maria was absolutely fantastic with my pups, and she was super patient with my more skittish/testy dog, who I know can be a lot to handle for most people. She was absolutely OK with giving my nugget her medication (which had just been prescribed a few days prior to her visit), and did an absolutely excellent job doing so! I would highly recommend booking Maria!”

About: dogs are very important to me as i have been around them my entire life. i currently work at a dog kennel and as much as i enjoy cleaning up after and taking care of those dogs, i would love to have the opportunity to take care of more dogs outside of the kennel environment. my own dog is so very special to me. when i take him back to visit my parents, we have a total of four dogs running around! the smallest is around 10lbs and the biggest is around 85lbs, needless to say it’s crazy and fun! i currently work part time so i am very flexible with my schedule. i am happy to accommodate as much as i can to fit whatever needs you may have. i live in an apartment so as of now, i am not able to dog sit at my home. however, i am more than happy to commute to your residence to treat your dog as if they were my own. dogs have unique personalities and i am capable of accommodating special requests to make sure your dog is as comfortable and safe with me as possible.

About: I have worked at a veterinary clinic as a kennel assistant, at a doggy daycare as park staff, and at a wildlife rehab as seasonal staff. These jobs have required me to monitor behavior and symptoms to ensure the health and safety of all involved. I work part time, leaving me with much time for looking after animals. I am off on weekends and am looking for something full-filling to fill that time. My shifts at my job are usually 6 hours but no more than 8. In high school, I watched many pets in my hometown while their families were away. Lists and rules are very important to me so that I know exactly what is expected and how your furry family member would have the best experience.

“Hannah was great. She was on time, played with the boys, and shared some awesome photos of the them. You could see from the photos they enjoyed the time spent with her.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little! I grew up with 4 dogs of my own. I’m also a dog groomer, so I have knowledge on all sorts of dogs and their behaviors. I work full time as a dog groomer Tuesday- Saturday until 3 on average. I can stop by to see your pups in the afternoon and all day Sunday and Monday I provide pet care in the client’s home, making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, maintain a clean space, and give each pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision.

About: I love being around animals! I got my first dog when I was 15 and trained him myself. Then I have dogs sat for countless families. I have cared for puppies to senior dogs and of all kinds. I work part time and go to college full time, but I have lots of time in my schedule for pups. I am avalible in the afternoons and on weekends I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a yard and I love to go for walks and be outside with your dog! I can crate them if preferred or accommodate to many situations.

“Mikayla was absolutely wonderful in her care for our two cats while we were away! When we returned, you could tell they had been treated well and loved. Mikayla sent a couple of pictures which showed they were just fine, and that helped calm my sister immensely about her younger cat. We have complete confidence in Mikayla and will be happy to book her again. Thank you, Mikayla!! You allowed us to really enjoy a needed time away to visit family.”

“Alisha was fantastic! She was responsive and kept me informed, timely, clean, and very helpful on short notice. My cats were very happy with her.”

About: I’ve been around large and small animals alike my entire life. I grew up on a farm where I cared for (and showed)horses, sheep, dogs, cats, a turtle, guinea pigs, and even (had) gerbils. I was active in 4H, FFA, county and state fairs where I showed my prize Appaloosa horse. During my college years I worked at a locally owned pet store in Kearney, Nebraska, which gave me even more hands on experience especially with a variety of small animals like snakes, birds and rabbits. I’ve always had a dog in my life (and cats) until recently when my Mastiff of 14 years passed away. My Mastiff was a rescue with extensive behavioral issues at first; however, after a year and a half of steady, consistent daily work and training, I am proud to say he passed the temperament test, did a complete 180, and I began taking him into nursing homes, where he was absolutely adored. So in short, I’ve worked with some challenging pet personalities but it makes it all worthwhile knowing I improved that animals life and can take the skills I’ve obtained and pay it forward. I also have extensive experience taking care of senior dogs and am quite familiar with the extra care they require whether that be assisting them up or down stairs, making sure there is plenty or traction where they’re walking, taking extra stops to rest on walks, and overall recognizing when they’re in pain or or not acting like themselves and adjusting any activities accordingly, and ensuring the owner is aware of any changes in personality, eating, drinking and/or potty breaks. Hello! I work part time remotely, so my schedule is very flexible which leaves me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and anything else your furry friend(s) need while you’re away! I have 2 cats currently so I would prefer to do any daycare at the client’s home, plus, I feel it’s less stressful on the animal if they’re in their own environment. However, in a pinch, I could certainly arrange to do boarding in my home as I have a large fenced in backyard and my cats could easily be placed in another area of my home. I also have a large (Great Dane size) crate from my beloved dog who passed recently, if a crate would be necessary. Whatever it takes to make your furbaby happy and as comfortable as can be, I’ll make sure it happens! When I am at your home, I’ll make it so that you don’t even know I was there aside from a tired pet(s). Trust and integrity is crucial when letting a stranger not only care for your animals but be in the home, and I firmly believe im establishing that trust by respecting your home and your rules. I live in the south Lincoln area, I drive and own my own vehicle, so can be anywhere in the Lincoln area within about 20-30 minutes. Also, if there was an emergency of any kind I would be able to transport your pet to your closest Veterinarian or wherever need be to ensure his/her wellbeing.

“Daniela was wonderful. She bonded with Ruby and sent lots of pictures and video. Very reliable and punctual.”

“Eileen did drop in visits for us while our pup was 2-3 months old 1-2x a day for a month or so. She was patient, caring, and flexible with last minute schedule changes. Our pup loved having her over and enjoyed spending time with her. I would absolutely recommend her for any pet sitting needs!! She’s amazing!”

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and pet sat for family members while they're on vacation for a week or even longer! I am currently only doing this so I am open to anything anytime! I am open to staying overnight and doing some cleaning for you! I will ask for detailed instructions and behaviour about the animal and any trigger things for the animal, I want to have the best care.
