Pet Sitting Fernwood

About: I have experience caring for dogs through friends, family, and personal experience. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, administering basic care, and giving plenty of love and attention. I’m always eager to learn your dog’s unique needs and preferences. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays and have most weekends free, allowing me to provide attentive, loving care and plenty of quality time for your fur babies When babysitting pets in my home, I have a fully fenced backyard where they can safely go outside when needed, and I live in a great neighborhood for walks. I always follow the pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care.

“Great sitter, the dogs really opened up to him. Took extra care of my other dog when he notices he had a slight ear infection. Would def book again.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up caring for a house full of pets—including a cat, parakeets, fish, and even a couple of snapping turtles—and have loved both cats and dogs throughout my life. As an adult, I was lucky enough to spend 11 years with our beloved German Shepherd mix, Evie. We completed obedience training together, and I have plenty of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, routines, training reinforcement, playtime, and all the everyday care that comes with sharing your life with a dog. As Evie got older, I also gained experience caring for a senior dog through arthritis and, eventually, a period of significant illness. Her needs changed considerably during her final months, so I’m comfortable administering oral medications, keeping an eye on changes in appetite or behavior, adapting routines for an older or less-active dog, and understanding when something just doesn’t seem quite right. I’ve also cared for pets for neighbors and understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet while you’re away. Since losing Evie in 2022, we haven’t been ready to bring another pet into our family, so I’d genuinely love the opportunity to spend some time caring for yours. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and—most importantly—I truly enjoy being around animals. I’m self-employed and set my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to work pet care into my day. I’m generally available for morning visits beginning around 8:30 AM, as well as midday and afternoon care. I can build walks, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention into each pet’s normal routine, and I’m happy to follow the schedule they’re accustomed to at home. I know consistency matters, especially when pets are away from their people, so I’m happy to follow the schedule they’re accustomed to at home. We are a family of four with two children, ages 10 and 7, and our home has a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. We don’t currently have any pets of our own, so visiting dogs won’t need to adjust to other resident animals. I know every pet has different routines, boundaries, and comfort levels, and I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding and walks to medications, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, and house rules. I’m also happy to learn about your pet’s personality, triggers, quirks, and favorite things before their stay so we can make our home feel as comfortable and familiar as possible.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. I help out my friends and family with their pets when needed. I love playing and walking with pups. I can help with feeding and any special needs or quirks your animal may have. I work from home and love getting outside whenever I have the chance. I have a flexible work schedule and during the weekend I’m home playing with my dog! When going outside I would always make sure a leash is on if there isn’t a fence. Always be on lookout for glass or trash on the sidewalk.

“Catherine was so patient and sweet with my pup, I felt very comfortable letting her into my home while I was away to give some doggie love and let her out to potty.”

About: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician with 30 years experience caring for dogs, cats, pet birds, chickens, small mammals, reptiles, and other "non-traditional" pets. In addition to dogs and cats, my own pets have included rabbits, ferrets, box turtles, parrots, finches, and even a Texas spiny lizard! Do you have a senior dog or cat that needs some extra care and attention during the day? Or a special needs pet that has unique medical needs the average person may not be prepared to handle? Or how about a new puppy that needs mid-day potty breaks while you are at work, and could also use a few extra minutes of training to learn good habits? As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I only use reward-based training methods so your pet will look forward to my visits! I currently work full-time from home. My work schedule is unique which gives me the opportunity to provide mid-day walks and drop-in visits, as well as evening check-ins. I value the trust you place in someone to care for your furry, feathered, or scaled family member in the same manner that you would. I have dedicated my life to caring for and providing medical care for other people's pets, and will look after your pets as if they were my own!

“We feed a couple of feral cats. Emily visited twice a day and sent pictures of the buddies eating, and we didn’t have to worry about them. Nice job.”

“Demi is so amazing with our girls! She is super communicative & goes above and beyond every time she comes to our house for walks/playtime! We couldn’t be happier leaving our dogs in her care.”

“I was away for 8 days and Jill came over twice a day during that time to take care of my dog and cat (feed, water, potty, cuddle). She brought in my mail, added water to my pool, and sent me photos and documentation on each visit. She is so reliable, I didn’t have to worry at all. And best of all the animals look forward to her visits. So glad I found Jill!”

“Ashley is so communicative about what is happening with the pets! I felt so reassured and I knew my dogs were well taken care of. I love my dogs so much and I felt like she does too- very spoiled! Thanks, Ashley”

Bethany S.

“Molly is great! She took such good care of our 3 cats. We were out of the country but didn't fret for a minute that they weren't totally cared for. She took photos and you could see how they warmed up to her. We will definitely be contacting her for our next kitty care need. Thanks, Molly!”

About: I have babysat many of my friends' cats in the past couple years. This past year alone, I have fostered and babysat 15 kitties! One of which I helped give birth. I have cared for kitties of all ages, and love spoiling all of them! Due to my small apartment, I have been mainly caring for cats. However, I grew up with puppies my entire life and enjoy caring for them as well! I am pretty active and would love to take puppies out for long walks :) My daily routine mainly consists of work at home and studying, so I am free most of the week to care for your furbabies! I am pretty active so if your pet enjoys long walks, I'm your gal! I live at home with 3 other adults who work ful time. Pretty large backyard with brick walls (likely not tall enough to contain a malinois). Safe neighborhood for walks too :)

About: Animal lover with many years of experience, tons of references can be provided, founder of a non-profit animal rescue. Your dog will beg to come back I currently work remote from home other than occasional visits to clients in the metroplex. Dogs are frequently let out in 2-4 hour windows (unless special needs are requested and I will gladly accommodate) for potty and play time Fenced backyard yard, two senior dogs, a standard poodle and a Chi-mix, who are pet friendly and are accustom to having all ages and breeds of dogs come for occasional boarding.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and bring a calm, patient energy that animals naturally respond to. I’m comfortable with all ages and temperaments. From energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’ve helped with crate training, leash manners, and administering medications, and I’m great at tuning into each pet’s unique personality and needs. What sets me apart is the way I connect with animals. I treat every pet like family and always take my time to build trust. Whether it's playtime, snuggles, or a quiet presence, I adapt to what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make space in my schedule to give them the attention they deserve. I’m flexible during the week for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care, especially in the mornings, midday, and evenings. I plan my days around each pet’s needs and make sure I’m fully present during every visit. Whether it's a short walk or an overnight stay, your pet will always be my top priority. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely, from feeding routines to leash preferences and medication. I double-check doors, gates, and collars to ensure everything is secure during walks or visits. I also create a calm, loving environment so your pet feels safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m attentive to their body language, needs, and routines, and I always send regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in great hands.

“Miki was the perfect walker. The reviews are not lying. My baby was walked, fed, and played with. Even though I had a friend stop by, she still stayed her entire time to spend with my baby. Miki promptly sent pictures and gave updates. It's the little things like that that makes a person stand out. As a first time user of this app, she eased my nerves about this process. I will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi! I am your fur baby's new best friend! I've owned dogs for over 20 years. Volunteered at shelters, taken in strays and found them homes, and adopted as well. I have sat for countless friends and family over the years and now I'd like to become an entrepreneur of sorts, doing what brings me joy! PLEASE NOTE: Owner is responsible for communicating any parking restrictions or limitations. Agreeing to book with me means that tickets or towing incurred during booking timeframe will be at owners expense!!! Open schedule currently. I am able to accommodate and work around sudden schedule changes. Looking to sit at least 3 times a week. Book me please! I respect others pets and property and treat it as my own. Reputation and trust are important and if a family is so kind to consider me to take care of their furbaby, I would do nothing to jeopardize that trust.

About: I’ve been a dog owner all my life, so giving proper and loving care has always been apart of my daily routine! For the past year, I have had the opportunity to dog sit for family, friends, and clients caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities! I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure each dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always strive to provide dependable, attentive care so both pets and owners can have peace of mind. Hi!! My name is Chloe! I am recently a highschool graduate and I wanted to find a fun way to save for my future education in college! Pet care fits very well in my schedule because I prioritize planning my day around the pets I’m caring for! I make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention to help each dog feel comfortable and cared for. I believe in sticking to each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow each pet’s feeding, potty, exercise, and medication schedule while giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment, and I always pay close attention to their individual needs. I also enjoy sending photo updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pet is happy and well cared for while they’re away.
