As a pet lover myself, I understand the difficulty of finding someone who will care for your pets. My clients can rest assured that they will be provided the highest degree of professionalism and heartfelt pet care for their four-legged family members. I work from my home full time, so I will be available to meet your beloved fur baby's needs. I recently relocated from Austin, TX, where I had a very successful Rover business for 6 years. Please read my reviews, and I have Rover Star Sitter status. I have a fenced yard that is great for dogs to play in. I can also do walks if requested. Senior dog experience as well as oral medication.

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was in highschool. I currently have 6 dogs of all sizes in my hosehold under my care. I do have a senior dog in my household that requires daily medication that I always stay on top of, so I am mildly expierenced in giving pets thier medications if required. I am currently enrolled in an online college course. My scheduling hours are rather flexible, though I'd need to be informed at least a week in advance. I care for all my pets as if they were family and do everything I can to keep them comfortable, so I would care for cilents' pets just the same.
“I was happy with our decision in choosing Pauline to take care of our 3 cats. She sent us updates and pictures of them and always checked in to see if we needed anything before she left. It’s hard having to leave your pets alone for a while but having her check in on them made me feel better about it all. I’ll definitely reach out to her again for next time :)”

“Logan is awesome, she was able to be booked on short notice and she definitely was a big help to me when I had to go out of town. She responds very quickly and always updated me on how my animals were doing. I will definitely book with her in the future. Thank you again for everything you do!”

“Nancy did a fantastic job of keeping me updated on my cats! She sent tons of photos, and went above and beyond by cleaning up things the cats had knocked over. Would highly recommend her!!”

About: I am currently a dog dad to 1, but have 8 more at home of all breeds, energy levels, and sizes; so I am very well equipped and knowledgeable in pet care. I am an animal lover and enjoy spending time playing with and tending to all types of animals. I currently work from 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. So I am available before and after those times and fully available on the weekends. I typically spend 1 hour (minimum) with the pet in the morning and 1 hour (minimum) in the evening with overnight stays as needed. I am ready to adhere to any rules or needs for all pets. Whether I let the dog out to pee and spend the rest of the time with them sitting on my lap, leaving a door open for timid dogs to cross whenever they like, or spending time playing fetch or other activities outside.
“Elizabeth is trustworthy and reliable. She did such a good job caring for my fur child and kept me updated on how the drop in visits were going. I will definitely be contacting her again when I need a dog sitter.”

“I have used this pet service three times so far and Meagan has provided excellent care for my pet. I definitely recommend her and will continue to be a loyal customer.”

About: Hey there! My name is Megan. Finding a trustworthy and affordable sitter who can provide your dog with the exercise, affection, and care they need while you’re away can be an overwhelming decision, so I’m here to provide the peace of mind that your dog will receive most personalized care while you’re away! Each dog has their own quirks, personality, likes, dislikes, and needs, and I do everything I can to be mindful and respectful of these. My visits are tailored to your dogs needs, but some examples of what a day might look like includes exercise and walks or jogs, play time, simple training commands, treats, belly rubs, and snuggles so your pup will never be bored or lonely. I do everything in my power to ease your anxiety, and your pet’s anxiety about being apart. DOG TRAINING AND SKILLS: -Exercise and activity for high energy breeds. -Potty training and crate training. -Experience and knowledge of specific breeds. -Experience with reactive dogs. -Oral medication administration. -Puppy and Senior Dog Experience. -Light grooming skills. -Coping methods for dogs with PTSD and anxiety. -Caring for multiple dogs and cats in one household. MY STORY: I’m an experienced dog walker and overnight sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your dogs and cats. I began dog walking and pet sitting when I was 10, retaining many repeat clients and “adopted” many honorary pet siblings along the way. Additionally I began volunteering at my local ASPCA rescue, and learned invaluable lessons there. In college, I spent time working with the 4 Paws for Ability Organization; fostering puppies who were training to be Support Animals. This included full time care, and light training, in order to prepare them for their very important futures! I also spent a year after college working at a boarding stable for show horses, where I cared for and cleaned the stalls of over 30 horses daily. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on adventures, hikes, and dog park dates, so your pup will never get bored. I’ve worked with 100’s of dogs of all temperaments, so nervous or shy rescue dogs are no problem. I’ve also worked at a holistic veterinarian office, so have experience with holistic medicine, calming techniques, physical therapy, injury rehabilitation, feeding, and administering medication. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, etc. I’ve cared for pets who are elderly or sick, reactive dogs and those who struggle with PTSD and severe anxiety, and pets with very specific routines; so integrating any specific request into a visit is no problem and your instructions will be followed with the utmost care. Dogs are family to me, so you can rest assured knowing you have one of the best looking after your pets. Last minute requests are no problem, and I will do my very best to accommodate these stays so you have one less thing to worry about. My professional career allows lots of flexibility in my schedule, so most days I am available for walks, check ins, or long term pet care, as long as I have notice in advance. I update my availability calendar frequently, but if you’re uncertain, please feel free to shoot me a message and I’ll do my very best to accommodate your pet’s unique care needs. SERVICES: -Drop in Visits: Bathroom breaks, serving fresh food and water, administering medicine, quick playtime, walks, and ensuring your house is in good order. I am happy to discuss any particular care instructions you have for your pet as well. -Overnight Stays/ House Sitting: -Stay with your pup(s) overnight, and provide a personalized daily routine. -Daily exercise, from runs, to walks, hikes, and more according to your pets activity needs. - Feeding according to their regular routine -Lots of attention, play time, and cuddles. -Photo’s and updates throughout the visit. -Light grooming. First and foremost your pet will receive all the love and affection in my care. I’d love to meet you and your pet before hand to see if you think we’d be a great fit! I aim to make sure your pet feels as comfortable and at ease as possible, and have no problem making any accommodations necessary. Please let me know if your dog or cat: -Is a senior or requires special care. -Has specific dietary restrictions or requires medicine. -Has any behavioral struggles or triggers, and what I can do to help. -Which toys, activities, and furniture is their favorite. -Any other information regarding their preferences so I can provide the most relaxing and comfortable stay for your furry best friend. 💖

Leo was great with Tony and Vincent! He sent pictures while I was away and they looked comfortable and happy with him. He also sent messages regarding eating and pooping of Vincent, who was having some issues. The house was clean, no surprises. I am very grateful with Leo as pet sitter during last 4 days.
