“Tatum did a fantastic job with the dogs. She was dependable, courteous and I k ow the dogs were happy to see her. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

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.
“We have used Rachel multiple times and always had a wonderful experience. Our dogs love her. She has made sure our babies have been fed and potties and always reports with pictures. She has also returned to check on them whenever we have had travel delays. We will always choose Rachel whenever we have to leave town.”

“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!!”

About: Through my whole life I’ve had livestock, cats, dogs and horses. I have experience with small and large animals! And would love to give your pet the best care possible. With a major in animal science I strive for safety of your pets and their happiness! I currently have an internship with Texas tech and will be in Lubbock all summer! I am looking to give good card to your pets in the comfort of your home! I do not have room in my home to watch pets unfortunately!! But if I did I would give them a loving space to run and play!
“Amazing sitter! She was very attentive and understanding when taking care of my cats. She sent many thoughtful updates and photos! Very caring and accommodating! Highly recommend!”

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 and also work a part-time job! With it being summer my weekdays are pretty open! I’ll update my availability regularly! Weekends I am pretty open but I’d prefer at least a days notice! 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!

About: I have taken care multiple breeds of dogs and cats since a young age. I have 3 dogs which are all potty trained and well taken care of! Also, I have 2 calico cats that get along great with the dogs. Friends, family, and neighbors have all relied on me to love and care for there animals I’ve recently just got done playing basketball here at Texas Tech, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I have a fenced in yard and two furry friends to keep your dog company if you would like. I can also crate your dog if that’s what you prefer!
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.
