Cat Sitting in Idalou

“Tatum is top notch when it comes to checking on my cat. Ebony meets her at the door and sits next to her on the sofa. She also brings in my mail and/or packages upon request. Thanks so much Tatum.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. My first experience with taking care of dogs was when I was 5. My parents use to breed chocolate labs. It was the most favorite part of my day. Since then I have seen many dogs of all sizes and breeds. I can feed, bathe, walk, and do basic training with dogs. I currently have 6 dogs: Nicki(GS), Gotti(GS), Foxi(GS), Capone(GS), Bruno(Frenchie), and Chuy( English Bulldog). These dogs are my pride and joy. I currently have Bruno with me whilst I attend college. But don’t worry, my other are well taken care of at home. I love each and every dog breed, even the ones that are a bit too crazy. Along with being brought up with dogs, I was also brought up with birds. I have one green cheek conure names Holly and one sun conure named Peach. We have had Holly for 12 years so I am very educated with the care for birds. I have had my fair share of bird and dogs bites. I currently am unemployed until August. I attended Tarleton State University. For the summer months I am free. When college starts Monday, Friday I am busy from 8am. to 12 pm Wednesday I am busy from 8 am to 12 pm then I have a lab from 2 pm to 4:30 pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am busy from 1 pm to 2:30 pm. Weekends I am free. Will not say yes sometimes for studying purposes. At my house, we live in an area where dogs are not near so we do not have a fenced in area. In my apartment in Stephenville, I live in an apartment complex, so my dog is walked on a leash for his safety when outside. He is loose in my apartment though. For others houses, it depends on the owners wishes. I do not mind walking around with a leashed dog for pottying purposes. I will never leave a clients dog unattended. For bigger and heavier dogs who can’t handle certain heat situations, I have experienced with bulldogs and know what their limits are. I will respect every clients home and will follow their instructions on how to properly handled their dog and their home.

“Xan was amazing !!! My cat is extremely shy with new people but warmed up to her so quickly. That’s always a good sign. She updated me on everything and sent multiple pictures. I felt very relaxed leaving my cat in her care. If I need to rebook, I will definitely rebook with her!!”

“Isabella did a great job with my cat! Super happy that he was safe and got lots of love while I was out of town! Even cleaned when he had accidents, very much recommend her!!”

About: I grew up training and showing dogs! I've also been a trusted volunteer dog walker/foster parent for local humane societies in the past, taking care of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages! My family frequently fostered litters of puppies as young as 6 weeks. I also have plenty of experience with seniors and the specific health problems that come with that, after loving my cocker spaniels right up to the end. Life doesn't allow me to have a dog of my own at the moment, so I'll jump on any chance for some pupper love! I daylight as a professional wildlife biologist, but I am currently between jobs and so have all the time in the world to give your four-legged companions! My schedule is wide open. Safety is, of course, the highest priority, and reading animal body language is the key to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet and avoiding stressful situations. This is a skill I feel very confident with after so many years of varied pet care. Second to safety is fun! Whether that looks like a brisk walk, a casual stroll, a laser pointer, a game of fetch, or just getting some relaxed quality time in is entirely up to your pet. Regardless, I'm happy to fulfill their needs.

About: I've taken care of dogs for many years in all sizes from toy to extra large. I also work with birds, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I have veterinary assistant experience and love all furr babies with all my heart! I'm available on weekends and most evenings to care for your sweet babies. I do have a full time job that keeps me away from home during the week. I have a large fenced yard or can crate your baby if needed. I follow instructions to the letter if I visit your home to care for your baby.

About: I’ve pay attention to dogs personalities and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Nothing more brings me joy than a happy pet! I can teach dogs tricks especially if they’re food motivated it’s fun to see how clever they are. I’m working part-time unfortunately right now I can’t house any dogs unless they are smaller/lapdogs. I am willing to housesit and have a vehicle to provide guaranteed transport. I live next to a park that’s friendly for dogs and I’m available to walk them just about anytime. To care in your home I’m willing to go to dog parks or long walks in the neighbor to reach their needs.

“Sysylya was outstanding. She followed instructions perfectly and my dogs were well-cared for. I hope she is available the next time I go out of town.”

“Courtney did an amazing job taking care of my boys. I loved the pictures and notes she sent and will be a repeat customer.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. From training puppies, to grooming, to senior dogs who may need gentle care. I look forward to meeting your babies! I work full time, but it is a banking job so it’s very flexible. I can check on your animals every morning occasionally during my lunch, and also after work. I’m off by 4. I am off every weekend as well so I have plenty of time to make sure your babies are well taken care of. In my home currently I have a puppy of my own. I have crate, plenty of toys to share, the best of quality food, extra water and food bowls. There is a lot of grass and a lake with sidewalk to take your puppy on walks. My puppy also does well with other dogs but can be separated if needed. I am very respectful of owners homes, as I would expect in return. I am providing a service and would not only want your animal to feel comfortable but you as well. I’ve sat for many family members, so I would treat my clients even better.

“Gwendolyn did an excellent job of caring for our dogs and they really love her. We are extremely selective about who takes care of our babies when we have to be away from them and we hope she is the only Rover sitter we ever need again. I highly recommend her (unless you need her the same dates I do, in which case I don't). But seriously, she understands these are people's precious babies and cares for them as such.”

Amy B.

“She loved on our pup like she was her own. It gave me a great peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. She was very prompt and provided lots of cute pictures!”

About: I've been pet sitting for a few years now with some family friends, and I would love to branch out to new pet owners! I have taken pre-vet courses and I know how to handle any emergencies. I am also an Animal Science major at Texas Tech, and I have extensive experience working with large animals! I'm working part-time, and I usually will go by clients houses before and after work! I usually only work evenings (4:00-8:30 pm). It's very easy for me to go in the morning, evening, and night! I love animals deeply, and have spent most of my life learning as much about them as possible! I took pre-vet classes in highschool, so I can handle most emergencies (choking, fighting, etc) and administer vaccines. I do my very best to respect animals, and make sure that they have the least amount of stress while their owners are away!

About: I've worked professionally with dogs for many years, and I have been dog sitting long before becoming a bather and groomer. I have over 4 years of hands-on experience in professional dog care environments, working with dogs of all sizes ages and temperaments. I'm pet CPR and first aid certified and experienced with feeding routines, medication, senior dogs, aggressive dogs and maintaining calm, structured care while owners are away. I take my responsibility seriously and focus on safety, consistency and keeping dogs comfortable and stress-free in their own routine I have flexible availability and intentionally plan my days around pet care. This allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feelings, walks, and check-ins without overbooking. I prioritize safety and clear boundaries when providing care. I mainly offer care in the pet's home to maintain routine. Limited in-home care may be available depending on fit, duration, and household compatibility.

“Kept me updated on every visit and cared for my animals like her own!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind and size since I was little and started house sitting as soon as I could drive. I love getting to love on different dogs and cats (if they let me) since I moved away from home. I have house sat for multiple families for longer than a week and I do my best to the dogs/cats in their normal routine or as close as I can to it. I am working part time in the mornings, but will have plenty of time late afternoon/ night to play with or walk your dogs every night In my clients home I try to do whatever their owners do on a daily basis to keep them on schedule/ to feel like normal.

About: Hi, I grew up on a 10 acre farmer taking care of everything from chickens to horses. I also worked full time in a mixed animal vet clinic for 8 months before becoming a Texas Tech student. I am studying animal sciences to continue my passion for taking care of animals. While being a student here I have been managing and taking care of a property containing horses, dogs, cattle, and goats. I also have a spunky corgi-wiener dog mix as well as a horse here at Tech. I am very familiar with animal care and will work to provide the best care for your pets! I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work around your schedule. I do have animals of my own and a job feeding horses so taking care of animals is apart of my daily routine. I live in a 4 bedroom apartment with plenty of space! Both my roommates are dog lovers and don't mind having a dog around and my complex is dog friendly with a dog park attached to it. My dog does not live with me full time so if your dog is not friendly with other dogs he has another space he can be. But if your dog likes to have another dog around "Coyote" love a good playmate. Regarding staying at clients houses I will be very respectful of your space and cleanup after myself.
