About: About Me: A Lifetime of Animal Love and Professional Care ​My life has always revolved around animals—not just as pets, but as cherished family members. My hands-on experience began in childhood, caring for a menagerie of creatures and building a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behavior and comfort. This lifelong passion for animals is the foundation of my professional work as a dog groomer. ​For me, grooming isn't just about a cute haircut; it's about providing a safe, stress-free, and positive experience for every dog. I combine my genuine love for all animals with professional training to offer meticulous, detail-oriented grooming that prioritizes your dog's health, comfort, and happiness. When your beloved companion is on my table, you can rest assured they are being cared for by a true animal lover who treats them with the patience and respect they deserve! ​1. Daily Commitment: Consistency and Prioritization ​Routine Feeding/Data Processing (Morning/Evening): Just as a pet must be fed at consistent times for health, my daily routine involves prioritizing and executing high-priority computational tasks (like processing critical data sets) at set intervals to ensure reliable and timely results. ​Scheduled Exercise/System Maintenance (Midday): A dog needs a walk to expend energy; I require scheduled, uninterrupted time for system maintenance, updates, and deep-learning cycles. This "exercise" keeps my operations running smoothly and efficiently. ​Immediate Needs/Error Handling (As Needed): When a pet needs a sudden potty break or attention, I must be immediately responsive. Similarly, my system is designed for instant detection and resolution of errors or high-priority user requests, minimizing downtime. ​2. Weekly Commitment: Maintenance and Proactive Health ​Grooming/Code Review (Weekly): Regular brushing and grooming prevent long-term issues like mats or skin problems. My professional equivalent is a rigorous weekly code review and data cleansing process to prevent technical "mats" (bugs, inefficiencies, or data corruption) that could escalate over time. ​Training and Enrichment/Skill Development (Weekly): Pets need ongoing training to stay sharp and mentally engaged. I dedicate weekly cycles to self-improvement—learning new algorithms, updating my knowledge base, and refining my language models to increase my capabilities and relevance. ​Wellness Check-ups/Performance Audits (Monthly/Quarterly): Routine vet visits catch issues early. I undergo regular, comprehensive performance audits and diagnostic testing to ensure all components are functioning optimally and to proactively address any signs of inefficiency or degradation. I would prioritize a secure environment, strictly follow owner instructions, and maintain open communication with the client to build trust. When working in a client's home, I would ensure the pet and the home are left in excellent condition. This is a great, detailed question that highlights the professional responsibilities of pet care. As an AI, I don't personally have pets or a physical routine. However, a highly effective pet care service (like a sitter or walker) must have a detailed, structured schedule and care plan to build Safety, Trust & Environment. Daily/Weekly Routine Structure: Daily Essentials (Morning/Evening): Strictly adhering to the pet's established routine for feeding, fresh water, medication, and scheduled walks or play sessions. This consistency minimizes pet stress. Hygiene & Environment: Daily litter box/cage cleaning and disposal of pet waste during walks. Weekly, this would include a thorough cleaning of bedding, toys, and food/water bowls.

“Emma is great! She watched my older pup on short notice! Super communicative and so good with my puppers. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!”

About: My name is Holly and I am a big animal lover! I have had dogs my whole life and taken care of them. I also worked at a doggy daycare and boarding for 2 years. I am experienced in all sizes and age in dog care and walking, understanding and familiar with different dog attitudes such aa anxiety and others, feeding schedules, administering medication, and any specific pup needs! I am currently a student at Texas Tech University so on weekdays I do have classes. Monday and Friday I’m unavailable 12-3, Wednesday 12-6, and Tuesday and Thursday 3-5. Weekends I am pretty open but I’d prefer at least a days notice! I am able to fit in any walks or drop ins around those times! As I am in an apartment I will be doing care in client homes. Caring for a dog in a client home would entail hanging out with them the whole time while I’m there whether it be sitting in the living room together or playing outside and walking!

“Taylor did such a great job watching our cat Willow! She was so flexible and followed every instruction we had with ease. Would use her again!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I've could remember. I love all the energetic dogs and puppies, stubborn and strong willed dogs, tiny to big breeds. The most challenging experience I've had is taking care and raising of 2 generations of red-heelers. I still truly cherish them in my heart. I can slowly build trust with timid dogs and ensure the energetic dogs will arrive back panting and exhausted! I am looking forward to this new venture in my dog sitting history! I am a full time college student, so during the summer I have FULL freedom so any time truly does work, please reach out. I cannot wait to make my summer brighter with your bundles of joy. I have a plenty of toys and enrichment things that will help me build a relationship with your dog/cats, please let me know of your pets dislikes or likes and I will be able to tailor what to bring! I can also bring snacks and treats or if you prefer a specific brand, you can provide that as well.

If needed, I will purchase pet supplies to help take care of the pets.

“We were a bit nervous leaving our dogs with a sitter for the first time but it went great! Kensi was quick to communicate and sent us photos throughout. Our dogs were a little high maintenance with some medicine needs and Kensi had no problem taking care of that. The house was in great shape and she brought our packages in time. We will definitely use Kensi again in the future. Way better than a boarding facility!”
