Pet Sitting Hawkins

About: I have been fortunate to love and care for pets of all types for over 40 years. I have cared for dogs of all sizes from Great Danes to chihuahuas and cats of all temperaments. In college I worked at a rescue facility for animals and I also have worked with farm animals. I have some medical experience and comfortable giving medications and treatments on animals with instructions. I am semi-retired and can spend more time with your pets. I am retired from my corporate job and work sporadically as a professional real estate inspector. When hired to care for your pets I will have few distractions and will be able to spend as much time as needed caring for them. At home I have 2 small-medium sized dogs that are friendly with other dogs. I have a large fenced in yard that the dogs have full use of. I also have a pool that dogs who like to swim can use. I frequently take them on walks at a local park or longer hikes at Tyler State Park. At your home I will treat your pets and home as if they were my own. I am able to check in frequently or stay with them, depending on distance and their needs.

“Halle did a great job looking after our fur babies over a holiday break.”

“We did a meet and greet and my girl took to Matthew. His calm demeanor I think helped calm her down, a little. Ada is extremely hyper and Matthew was comfortable and patient with her. Matthew was very understanding of Ada's particular needs from her eating and her physical challenges.”

“Absolutely so GREAT!! She was super dependable, easy to work with, and took such good care of Hydrox. She also was excellent at communicating with me promptly and made my vacation stress free!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.

About: I am retired. I will spend quality time with your dog! I have owned dogs all of my life. Our little Maddie went over the rainbow bridge November 2025 (at age 13 1/2). We miss her but have not taken the plunge for our next dog. Waiting on that special one to enter our lives! In the meantime, I am just pet sitting and enjoying other's dogs. When friends and relatives visit, their dogs are welcome too. Our home is totally dog friendly. We have a fenced in yard, as well as 7 acres to roam with a leash. If they enjoy riding in a side by side, we will go for rides. I am retired. I have plenty of time to play with your pup, and I will make sure they are well cared for, never left alone outdoors, and I have experience with giving medication too. Walking, playing and snuggling will be a part of each day. I have a fenced yard. I get up early to let them out to go potty. Potty breaks are as often as needed. I have experience with all size dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. Also I’be work at different vet clinics through my life.so I have the experience to take care of your animals in best way possible. I’m currently a bather at my clinic so if baths and nail trims is something you want added on that is something I can do for you as well. I do work during the week but have weekends off and if it close to work during the week I can stop by during my breaks to play and let them out to potty. I have my own furry babies that are super friendly to play with if you want that environment or they can have my divided attention.

“Amanda is reliable and responsive. Before our trip Amanda was helpful in explaining the process and reassuring in her demeanor. She took great care of my cats and communicated helpful updates while we were away. I will definitely call on her again!”

About: I have personal experience with all pets; small and large animals [ dogs, cats, horses, and cattle]. I have helped with animal feedings and bathing. I care for other's pets like they are my own. I am a full time outdoor education instructor at Sky as well as getting my master’s degree through DBU online, so I am available to pet sit/do overnight trips anytime with my flexible schedule! In my client's home, I will make sure that the yard and house is secure and safe. I will also check for accidents around the house, including upset stomach accidents. I will make sure that the pets are fed on a schedule, and fresh water is provided.

About: I have had dogs my whole life until I got horses at 13. At one point in my life, I was taking care of 4 dogs (almost 6), a bunny, and 6 horses. Over the years, I have lost some of my animals, so now I care for 1 dog and 4 horses. I love animals; I honestly can't imagine my life without them. Also, I worked at a vet's office as a kennel tech for 3 years. So I am very comfortable with anything that your pet might need within reason. I'm currently doing online classes in college. My schedule is flexible, and I will communicate if it changes. Weekends can be free, but I love spending time with my family and having my own time to do whatever I need to do. When I go to someone's home, I like to ask questions that will help me better understand their pet. I am very patient, willing to go at their pace. I am good at following instructions. I will be there on time, make sure they have everything they might need, and communicate if I can't find it, if your pet may need something, or if I have questions. Also, I will tell you if I see anything out of the ordinary

About: I have had a dog or cat in my life for over 5 decades. My parents raised dogs and taught me early in life how to care for pets. My heart has always belonged to some sort of pet from rabbits, guinea pigs to dogs and cats. Big dogs, smaller dogs and everything in between. I have loved them all. I am confident in my love and ability to care for all pets and appreciate my time with them. I feel pets are an essential part of my every day life. I am a Doggie Mama to 3 Basset hounds and a Rat Terrier who thinks he is a Basset hound. Our life is really blessed and very good and we wouldn't change a thing.

“Kimberly was punctual. She sent pics of our fur babies smiling and playing! And she even checked for a package delivery we were expecting! We’ve already booked her for another drop in visit!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, worked at a vet clinic, learned CPR for dogs, and dabbled in training as well. I’m efficient at giving medications (even injectables), can do basic training, am cautious with any other dog interactions while walking, and am detail oriented to provide the best care. I enjoy interacting with your pet and becoming a familiar face they look forward to seeing while you’re gone! Let me love your fur babies like I do my own! I currently stay at home mostly with my daughter and my own dogs, work part time, and have a little extra time to dedicate to others who need help taking care of their pets! I want your pet to feel comfortable with me and enjoy the time I get to spend with them. I don’t mind sitting there for a while to work on earning their trust. All dogs are different and require different approaches to meet their needs. I very much enjoy getting to love on them if they let me and creating a fun environment for them while you are away. I also enjoy training basics if that is something that interests you! My favorite thing to do is bring special treats to each visit (with permission of course)!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.

About: Hey! My name is Stefanie and I have been taking care of animals for almost my entire life. I have experience with both cats and dogs and would love to watch your pets for you. I hold myself to the same standards that I would expect from my own pet sitters. I can handle animals of all shapes and sizes, even your giant breeds! I have experience in the veterinary field and have cared for pets with all types of dietary restrictions, medical needs, and temperaments - so if your pet needs some special attention, I'm your gal! I have had dogs for almost my entire life. As a child my family had a Lhasa Apso, and he lived a long and happy life with us. I have had pets of my own since 2014, and all my pups are seniors now - they have a special place in my heart! I also have two sweet young cats and would love to check on your feline kiddos. I am a full time mother so I am readily available for drop in visits, overnights, and walks. Please note that my infant son will be with me during all visits. I will of course assume responsibility for my kiddo being safe around your pets, but please be mindful of your pets' temperament with children when booking! My ideal scenario when caring for your pets is to adopt their current routine - I find that keeps them the happiest while their people are away. I'm happy to visit on whatever schedule is best for you, and I'm happy to do overnights as needed.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a registered nurse, I’m highly attentive, dependable, and comfortable monitoring for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall well-being.

About: Hi there, I am Taylor! I live in East Texas where I helped many animals find their way back to health by providing the medicine they needed, a caring environment and lots of love. I am responsible, a care giver, and love animals. I think animals need just as much love and attention as any individual does. I am good with teaching animals simple tricks and rewarding them when necessary. Most dogs need exercise and I am not afraid to run around with them so they have what they need. I have taken care of friends and family pets. I have experience with understanding their needs by their behavior/body language. I can feed, medicate and love your babies while you are away so you never have to worry! I will be able to send text/emails to keep you updated on how your pup is doing. Pets need love, attention, and excessive belly rubs! I looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week. I work some from home which allows me to be available when you need throughout the week, including weekends. I make sure I have a full understanding on what the Client needs from me. I can provide a loving environment that will allow you not to worry while you are away. I have a dog myself and understand how hard it is to leave your baby at home. I want to make sure your pup is as comfortable as possible and you feel comfortable as well.

About: I have been a dog lover since my first dog followed me home at the age of 6 (and he was a full size Doberman of all things). I currently have a German Shepherd, Pit bull Mix, Husky Mix, Chihuahua Mix and an Orange Tabby so I'm used to animals of all sizes and temperaments. My poor Pit Mix has allergies, my GSD has hip dysplasia and my Chihuahua has a heart condition, so I'm well versed in special needs! I do research constantly and spend lots of time talking to our vet about how I can make their lives, and mine, easier. I'd love to put all that knowledge to work for your fur babies! I know CPR for dogs and even keep a doggie first aid kit in my car! Just in case. I do my best to make sure my presence is felt as little as possible in your home but that your baby gets all the attention they need and deserve! I'm currently dog and cat grooming only on Fridays and Saturdays. So usually Sun-Thurs its just me and my pets living our best lives. I have a two acre property that we constantly explore and we love to go swimming at the nearby lake! I do my best to be as unintrusive as possible when in you're home! Letting me know their favorite toys and activities do make things easier for us to bond! I have a fully fenced in half acre with another acre and a half we can explore while leashed! There are cows, chickens and other animals on the farm next door so there's plenty of sights (and smells)!
