“Macensey did a fantastic job with my very shy scared dog, definitely went above and beyond to help him. Hope she is available next time I go out of town!”

Brenda B.

“Emily was wonderful! She came at the same time each day and sent multiple photos of my cat during each check-in. She must be an animal whisperer because my very shy cat warmed up to her right away!”

Katylin J.

“Anran was great for my two kitties. Very reliable, punctual, and responsible. Went out of her way to clean things in my apartment and go get supplies from the store without me asking. Would 100% hire her again and would recommend her to friends. Thanks, Anran!”

“Danielle did a fantastic job of taking care of our cats and dog! Even our most timid cat warmed up to her immediately. We will certainly request her service again, and highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve raised all kinds of pets from newborns, adopted, and elderly. They deserve attention and care just like humans and I strive to do just that. I work Sat-Tues 7a-5p and off during the week. I’m able to swap days with 48 hour notice. I look forward to caring for your fur baby! 🐾 I am not currently a pet parent so your animal(s) will have my full and undivided attention. I’m empathetic and know when I need a break, so do they!

About: I’ve taken care of my weiner dog for 7 years now. I treat like she’s my real daughter and will take care of any furry animal the same. I have so much love I want to give to them! I have a lot of time that needs to be used up. I can do after 5pm on weekdays and ANY time during the weekends! On Mondays I can do earliest as 4pm! I walk a lot so if you need long walks for your energized dog, that is no problem! I also spend hours throwing the same toy and think of it as exercise for me AND the dog!

About: I’m a great individual that has a lot of experience taking care of fur babies. ranging from big doggy’s to little dogs and puppies. Cats as well, many different breeds. Not only I care for these fur babies I make sure they’re SAFE & Happy! (: Pet care currently fits in my life 7 days a weeks as I’m a stay at home mom and I don’t go back to Uni until the fall. I offer great care and updates on any fur baby. My home is a pretty spacious 2 story home and a fenced back yard. I have an animal door leading right to the back yard as well. The neighborhood I live in also offers a park and sidewalk in the whole neighborhood making it safe for daily and nightly walks. (:

About: I love pets. I have owned a dog my whole life. On top of owning a dog I also would dog sit for neighbors in my neighborhood. I start dog sitting around the age of 12. I have dog sat puppies who needed to go out a lot as well as play with them a lot to get energy out. I also have watched elderly dogs. I have no problem cleaning up dog messes that can happen in the house. I have dealt with a wide variety of dog fluid due to my own dog. I am one who will get there hands dirty. I also love playing with pets and getting on the floor to get their energy out. I have a dog of my own. I make sure to get her outside multiple times a day as well as getting a walk in once a day. During the week I take my dog to the dog park to get interactions with other dogs. I am a stay at home mom who has a very flexible schedule. I have experience with excited dogs who love seeing new people or just getting out to walk. I make sure when walking dogs to give them time to explore while still keeping them safe. When walking if other people or dogs walk past i make sure the dog I am walking is by my side opposite of those walking past for safety.

About: Ever since I can remember, I’ve cared for pets. Whether caring for my own or pet-sitting for others, my life has been surrounded with furry friends! I work part time, and my summer schedule is especially flexible as my main job follows the school year cycle. I am home a lot during the summer and have the ability to stay home if necessary as I know some pets need constant attention and oversight. I have a fenced yard and a 4 year old lab mix who LOVES to play! She will definitely help keep your pup entertained for hours. I have never had any issues with her being aggressive; she truly thinks everyone is her friend. I also have a German Shepherd! She’s sweet, but does tend to be a bit territorial. She likes to appear aggressive, but has actually done very well with other dogs! I have never experienced her causing an actual dog fight.

“Great communication! Plenty of pictures 🩷”

“She is legit the sweetest and most professional young lady. I had a dog sitter for the past 3 years but she moved to NYC. I contacted Jadah and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my sweet girl with her. I travel for work and she will be my absolute go to forever !!!”

Shawtiel T.

“Iovanna was great with our two cats! She was prompt and very communicative, went above and beyond. We would recommend her to anyone needing to watch their fur babies!”

Julie D.

“Valerie is a really nice person & her huge love of animals is a big plus! From the initial meet & greet, our cats liked her and they’re typically shy towards strangers. I think they could tell she’s a true animal lover. She is very thorough and sent pics & updates to us while we were away. We felt very comfortable leaving our 2 cats to be checked on by her. Valerie is a wonderful pet sitter & we will definitely use her services again.”

About: I have been around many animals throughout my whole life growing up. I enjoy getting to know every animal and understanding how they are emotionally. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I recently graduated and have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule. I have experience caring for my own dog, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure he feels comfortable and cared for. I enjoy being around dogs and giving them attention, so dog sitting is something I would be happy to make part of my daily routine. Whether at my place or yours, pet care is all about making them comfy and safe! At my home, I stick to their routine for feeding and walks, plus tons of playtime. If I'm at your place, I follow your lead, ensuring your pet feels secure and loved while you're away.

About: I have over three years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring that pets feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time every day for walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. I’m available in the morning, afternoon, and evening! I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and any special care instructions from their owner. I prioritize communication, safety, and trust. I also provide updates and check ins.

About: What sets us apart from other pet sitters is our extensive experience and genuine passion for animal care. With several years of hands-on experience, we have had the privilege of delivering newborn puppies and providing specialized care to pets with disabilities. Our approach to pet sitting is not just about ensuring that your pets are safe; it’s about providing them with love and tailored care that suits their individual needs. Our loving family includes our own English Bulldog, who are incredibly social and enjoy playing with other dogs. We make frequent trips to the dog park, which helps our Bulldogs stay well-socialized and happy. Our pets are up-to-date with their flea, tick, and heartworm treatments, and they thrive on regular exercise. We believe that playtime is just as important indoors as it is outside, so your pets will enjoy a mix of both during their stay with us. We would be thrilled to meet you and your family, and we look forward to the opportunity to provide your pets with the same high level of care and affection that we offer our own. Feel free to reach out to arrange a visit or ask any questions. We can’t wait to welcome you and your furry friends into our home! Pet care is an integral part of our daily and weekly routine, woven seamlessly into our lives. Here’s a glimpse into how it fits into our schedule: **Daily Routine:** - **Morning:** Each day begins with early morning walks for our English Bulldogs, ensuring they start the day with exercise and a chance to socialize. After the walk, we provide breakfast and any necessary medications or treatments. - **Midday:** Throughout the day, we monitor and engage with the pets, offering playtime, training exercises, and regular check-ins to ensure their comfort and well-being. - **Evening:** In the evening, we take another walk or visit to the dog park, followed by dinner and winding down with some indoor play or relaxation time. This ensures they get plenty of exercise and attention, both physically and mentally. **Weekly Routine:** - **Health and Maintenance:** We stay on top of regular health maintenance, such as flea, tick, and heartworm treatments. We also schedule any necessary grooming or veterinary appointments. - **Socialization:** We make frequent trips to the dog park and arrange playdates with other dogs to ensure our pets remain well-socialized and happy. - **Training and Enrichment:** We incorporate training sessions and enrichment activities throughout the week to keep our pets mentally stimulated and to reinforce good behavior. By integrating these routines, we ensure that our pets receive consistent care and attention, creating a balanced and fulfilling environment for them. This same level of dedication and routine is applied to the pets in our care, so you can be confident that they’ll be treated with the same love and attention. The approach to pet care varies depending on whether we’re offering boarding, overnight stays, walking, or drop-in services. Here’s how we handle each scenario: ### **1. Boarding:** When pets stay with us for boarding, we create a home-away-from-home environment tailored to their needs: - **Comfortable Space:** Pets enjoy a cozy, dedicated space in our home, complete with their own bedding and toys to make them feel comfortable and secure. - **Daily Routine:** We follow a structured routine that mirrors their home life as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. - **Socialization:** Our English Bulldogs and other pets are great companions, and we facilitate supervised interactions to ensure a smooth integration. - **Health Monitoring:** We keep a close eye on their health, administering any medications as needed and ensuring they receive regular check-ups and care. ### **2. Overnight Stays:** For overnight stays in a client’s home, our focus is on maintaining their routine and providing peace of mind: - **Home Comfort:** We respect their home environment, ensuring everything is left as we found it and that their usual comforts are maintained. - **Routine Maintenance:** We follow their established routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, keeping everything consistent to minimize stress. - **Security and Safety:** We ensure the home is secure and follow any specific instructions given by the pet owner to ensure their pet’s safety and comfort. ### **3. Walking:** Dog walking services are designed to give pets exercise and mental stimulation: - **Scheduled Walks:** We adhere to the agreed schedule, providing regular walks that meet the pet’s exercise needs and preferences. - **Route Variety:** To keep walks interesting, we vary the routes and incorporate different sights and smells, making each outing enjoyable. - **Leash Manners:** We reinforce good leash manners and ensure a safe, enjoyable walk, taking care to avoid any potential hazards. ### **4. Drop-Ins:** Drop-in services involve visiting pets to provide care while owners are away: - **Feeding and Watering:** We provide fresh food and water, following the pet’s regular feeding schedule. - **Exercise and Play:** We engage in playtime and provide some exercise, based on the pet’s preferences and needs. - **Health Check:** During each visit, we check for any signs of health issues and ensure the pet is comfortable and happy. - **Update Reports:** We keep pet owners updated with reports or photos, so they can feel connected and reassured. In all scenarios, the goal is to offer a consistent, caring experience that aligns with the pet’s routine and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they are in our hands.

About: With over 5 years of localized pet-handling experience and 10 years of handling my own family pets, I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs! I am extremely comfortable with all temperaments, from shy rescues to high-energy puppies. As a very active college-age male, I would be able to turn our walks into adventures, from long walks to hiking in local parks, ensuring your pet is happy. I am currently working part-time, so I would have plenty of time to assist with all of your pet-related needs. I usually go for walks every day, so my schedule is extremely flexible, and your pet could join me on my adventures around the neighborhood park! I can follow your pets' schedule and cater to their every need! I understand how crucial it is for pets to receive specific medicine or special care, so I would be the perfect person for the job. I love animals, and I will look after your pet throughout my time with him or her!

About: I've had dogs all my life and cats for a few years (my mother-in-law lived with us 30 years). I don't consider them pets--they are family. Presently, we have 4 dogs and a 55 gallon aquarium. We live in the Shores and I'd like to stay close (Rockwall/Heath). I'm retired, so this is a fun way to spend some time. Having used pet sitters myself, I understand the importance of having someone, you can trust, enter your home and ensure your pets are fed, water, and given ample rest breaks. I'm retired, so I have plenty of time to devote to pet sitting. When I commit to a job, my focus is on that job and to provide topnotch care for your baby. I will meet with you to get information on how you care for your pet(s). My goal is to treat them just how you do to minimize disruption for them, while providing you peace of mind. I know how it is to trust someone else with your best friends, so my goal is to allow you to be away, without worry. You can live life knowing that you will come home to your fur baby just as you left them.
