Pet Sitting in Edinburg

“This was our first time hiring a pet sitter at our camp, and Paul made the whole experience easy. He was reliable, sent regular updates, and our mini australian shepherd, Ziggy, clearly felt comfortable with him. We scheduled a meet-and-great in advance of the first visit to give Paul the lowdown on the routine, and he followed through perfectly on the second visit. We will definitely have Paul help us out in in 2026.”

About: From the excited, to the reserved, to the elderly, I have a depth of experience to care for your animal kin. I've helped care for senior dogs when they struggled to walk down stairs, when food requirements changed on a whim, when the house has to be changed to reduce trips on tiles, and even when they can start wandering past bed time. It was not easy to care for them as puppies and it's not easy when they are elderly. But if one loves enough when they are babies, then they love enough to do the same as they are seniors. I'm between jobs and actively looking, so I have plenty of time to care for all your animal family members beyond a stop to fill bowls and empty boxes and the like. It all comes down to the first meeting. Not the first job. I want to know what you, your pets, and your house is like so I can do my very best to be attentive and observent in caring for them. This includes setting up a person emergency plan for common emergency care should it arise. Preparedness beats panic after all!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats! Very familiar with both big and small breeds. We have a 6 year old yellow lab, Bodhi, who is extremely friendly and obedient. We could easily give lots of love and attention to some more animals!! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom to two kids. We’re home a lot, always out in our backyard playing. My weekly routine revolves around them and their school schedules, but for the most part I am at home. I have a large fenced in backyard in a safe neighborhood. We have motion sensor lights and camera in both the front and backyard. We also have baby gates up all around the house with garbages and cabinets all baby proofed as well! Super safe environment, nothing unsafe they can get into. We can crate or just separate and give them their own space with baby gates. We also have a nice cool finished basement that’s set up like a spare bedroom with king size bed and tv if that’s more their style :)

“Miakoda did a great job caring for our cat, chickens and fish! She is very friendly and clearly cares for animals! Communication and follow up was great.”

“Camden did a fantastic job with my two kitties. I could not have gotten through the summer without her. She fed, watered, and gave medication twice daily. I highly recommend her for cats and dogs.”

“We have been using Amanda now for close to a year for drop in visits for our cat from time to time. She is always there at our scheduled time and know that our boy will be taken well care of. Our boy is very happy when she is there and I can tell by the pictures she sends me that he is very comfortable with her. I would highly recommend her.”

“Brenna did an excellent job taking care of our kitties. She is very trustworthy. She took multiple pictures of our girls which made us feel at ease that they were doing good & in good hands while we traveled.”

About: 20 plus years experienced caretaker. I've rescued, fostered and adopted senior pets, pregnant mamas, puppies and the like. I have experience with walks, overnights, administering meds, wound care and of course snuggles. I work a pretty flexible part time schedule of afternoon and early evening hours a few days a week that allows me to schedule visits as needed to accommodate your pets schedule. However I am instructed to do so by the owner. In my home, I have a fenced in yard, there is also a dog park in the community. I have animal crates if needed. Large and small depending upon what is needed. I also have a silly dog of my own at home as a companion.

“Julia was wonderful with our high anxiety pups! Both take awhile to warm up to strangers, but they loved Julia. Definitely recommend!”

“Rebecca did an amazing job taking care of our babies, Nacho and Fleuter. She was patient, kind, and loving. She treated them as if they were her own. She was there at the times that I scheduled. I trust her completely. She was perfect!! I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again. A+++++++”

About: Hi my name is Paige! I have had 10 dogs over the course of 21 years! I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I’m very experienced with caring for animals. I’m very gentle and kind to each and every animal I encounter and treat them like they are my own. I ensure you that your dogs will feel safe and loved when they are in my care! I will love your fur babies like they’re my own! Please consider me as I am extremely experienced in so many different aspects in taking of many different types of dogs! I’m currently working another job but I am still open to morning and afternoon visits! I’m super flexible so please don’t be afraid to ask questions! I prefer to come to your home to keep your fur babies comfortable in their environment where they feel safe. I also have other dogs at home so this allows me to focus all my attention on your pet.

“Emily was the closest Rover sitter to me in a remote location, put she was still about 20 minutes away. She stopped by AFTER a full days work, which was at least another 20 minutes in the opposite direction from me. Despite these logistics, Emily showed up consistently early evening immediately after her work day. She performed all the duties necessary during each visit, plus she performed some special handling for a package that arrived while I was away. I would not hesitate using her again, and would recommend her.”

About: Common courtesy and communication is paramount. **Willing to travel up to an hour away. Just because Rover says you are outside my service area it does not always mean you are. I have clients an hour North and South of me. **Necessary update as of 6/21/23** I will require current credit card info be on file at your vet or provided for me in your pet write up ONLY in case of emergency. In the event of an emergency and I could not get a hold of the human, puppies have no pockets to hold a card, the vet required me to pay. I have raised 3 separate RESCUE Rottweilers to be exceptional ambassadors of their breed. I currently do not have any pets since my big boy passed away in 2016. I hope to again one day have my own dogs. Until then I will love YOUR pet. **I DO NOT board animals at my home. Only repeat clients would MAYBE be possible for a very short amount of time.** Clients pets have included many breeds, species for days, weeks. Many Golden Retrievers, Doodles, mixes aka Heinz57s, Old English Sheep dog, lots of kitties, a chameleon, turtles, a bearded dragon, a small bird, fish, Rottweilers, a very challenging but lovable English Bulldog and Huskies one of which was very reactive. Oh and a LOT of house plants! PLEASE NOTE: I am deathly allergic to horses which I am very sad about. Any type of animal requiring LARGE amounts of hay would also be a problem i.e, goats, cows, alpacas I am sorry to say. Small rodent animals requiring hay for food or bedding has not been a big deal. My personnel dogs were very public dogs, parks, events etc. With the ever present fact in mind that as good as my animal was it is still an animal. Never purposely putting them in a situation to be loose (unless at home or a fenced park) or get into anything that could harm them. Read quite a few books/manuals by military working dog trainers in hopes of training a service oriented Rottie. Came very close to passing the Good Citizen certification but my dogs never liked the “stay” part when I had to walk away with my back turned. They just had to be next to me. So close. PLEASE NOTE: I have my preferences set to NOT to show any photos of YOUR pet publicly. I would ask permission first to share. Photos only NEVER infomation of course. My schedule allows me to be available to be in YOUR HOME, with your pets all day/night, unless noted ahead of time and of course trips to the store. I have many types of animals that insist on sleeping in bed just like they do when their people are home which in fine by me. Just take some Benadryl and snuggle on in. I try to stick closely to how the home runs normally so the pets do not have any surprises that can make them anxious. Sleep, food, walks, play time etc. I supervise dogs in their own yard fenced or not. I am very organized and like an outlined idea of their schedule to be written down for me to follow as closely as YOU would.

“Thank you for coming to take care of them with such short notice! We are up here at least one e a month and will be rebooking g and referring to our friends.”

About: Hi, I’m Kessiah! Your pet’s new best friend!! With over 10 years of experience caring for animals, I bring genuine love and patience to every pet I meet. I grew up with cats and have shared life with my dog since she was just 9 weeks old—so I understand what it takes to care for pets at every stage of life. In addition to personal experience, I’ve worked at a doggie daycare, which gave me hands-on experience managing dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy senior, or a sassy cat, I know how to make them feel safe and loved. I offer dependable, attentive care—whether that means daily walks, overnight stays, or just some company while you’re away. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pics and check-ins so you never feel far from your furry friend. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your pet! I am available for boarding 7 days a week, overnight stays and drop-ins available 7 days a week as well (depending on location) and weekends with no restrictions. In my home: At this time, I am only accepting cats for boarding. I do have a dog who gets along well with cats. Because they will be unfamiliar with each other, I will never leave them together unaccompanied. If your kitty is afraid of dogs or has a general distain for dogs, I can and will keep them separated! In your home: Your home, your rules! While you're away, I will do my best to stick to your pets everyday routine.

“Lianna was wonderful with our cat while we were away! We so appreciated getting pictures every day, knowing he was in good hands. Thank you, Lianna!”
