About: The obvious reason, I LOVE DOGS and being around ALL animals . every dog has a unique personality which makes all of them special and all dogs have something different to offer pet lovers. I also love to be outdoors playing and walking them. I walk a lot any way, might as well have a furry companion. I can pretty much set my own schedule (within reason). I also don't have any obligations, other than my husband. I feel like this would feel a void in my life and help give to purpose. I like to use hand commands but verbal is fine also I have been a pet owner for quite sometimes, no current pets, some very high energy, some old and arthritic and on medication I perfer smaller dogs if they come to my house. The house is mostly empty, it’s just me and my husband. I have also sat for cats, turtles, lizards, goats horses and all types of pasture animals. Big or small, I do it all. I’m retired airline employee, so, I’m pretty flexible with my time and schedule. We currently don’t have any pets because we enjoy our travel time. If we’re not traveling you can always catch me on someone’s ranch helping out with their critters. I really prefer watching the animals at the clients home because that’s where they feel most comfortable. I don’t mind bringing the pets to my home, if they are on the smaller side. Of course, if it’s something on the bigger side, ie, like livestock, I would be at the client’s home.

WASHINGTON, TX, 77880

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. We grew up on a farm with 3 dogs and loved them to death. We love all dogs, all sizes. We own 2.5 acres where dogs can run and play and have an extra large utility room for grooming. Our family includes my wife and myself, our three kids and Scout, our furry baby rescue from Houston. She loves to play in the water and run with friends. I work from home so I get lots of time to play ball, walk, run and care for your furry loved one. I most enjoy throwing tennis balls and watching the dogs play chase. We have spent more money than we would like to admit, in order to best care for pups in our care. We have a 1200 sq/ft dog house with A/C, water, toys, large play area and kennels of various sizes. We are committed to providing commercial equipment to put safety as a top priority, while still offering the quality of care provided through residential boarding. We look forward to meeting dogs of all sizes and breeds. Hope our doggy retreat is as fun for your dog as it will be for us.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes ever since I was young, and as I got older, my love for them continued to grow. This passion was instrumental in deciding my future as I am currently studying at Texas A&M and finishing up my degree in Animal Science. I want to pursue a career in veterinary medicine and plan on applying to the Texas A&M Veterinary School in 2026. I have worked in two veterinary clinics, one of which was AHAA accredited and provided overnight boarding for both cats and dogs. Outside of my time in clinics, I have also studied in laboratories that were at the cutting edge of veterinary medicine. Although not as relevant to this service, I also have experience in exotic pet care, including lagamorphs, rodents, arthropods, and wildlife. My unique experiences have provided me not only with a vast of knowledge of animal medicine, but an understanding of animal communication and husbandry as well. I know that pets are held very close to our hearts, and if I am given the privilege to watch yours, I will use my knowledge, and, most importantly, my compassion to give them the love and care they deserve while your away. While I am currently in college, my work load this semester is very light as I near the end of my degree - only 8 hours a week. When I’m not at class, I’m at home and will be able to give your pet the attention they need. I am very flexible and am willing to watch your pet in my two story condo or in your very own home! My only mission is to make your pet most comfortable, and I will do whatever I can to make it so. I understand that every pet is different, and am more than happy to accommodate for all. My goal is to limit their schedule changes to create as little stress as possible while you’re gone. Whatever walking or feeding schedule you provide will be the one that I adopt when caring for your babies!

About: I have both personal and professional experience with various pets, including cats, dogs, chickens, and more. I gained this experience from owning my own pets and working at a veterinary office and animal boarding facility. I currently work part time but if enough progress is made I would like to focus more on this than my current job, and am available on weekends. I'm sorry, but I cannot take care of your pets in my home as my own pet is not friendly and I have roommates to consider. However, I can visit and stay at your home for as long as you need me to. Rest assured that I will ensure your pet's comfort at all times.

About: I've been taking dogs for jogs since I was about 7 years old. By 12, I was THE go-to pet sitter in my mom's work circle, often doing week long stints during summers. Professionally, I worked as a dog groomer, and enjoyed that job like no other! I have experience in caring for senior pets on strict medication regimens as well as wound-care. It would be my pleasure to get to know you and your fur-babies, and to provide your pets with the same level of love, care and structure that I give to my own dog and cats at home. I am currently working part time, so have plenty of hours in the day in which I can care for your pet. I have both early morning and afternoon-evening availability, as well as weekends. Whatever your needs, I'm sure we'd be able to come up with a pland that suits you and your fur-babies. We live in a home with a spacious back yard that is fully fenced. I have one medium sized dog, who can either play with your pup, or be kept separated, depending on your dog's preferences. In your home, I will ensure your pet is given the same level of love and care I give to my own, but from the comfort of their environment. If you are ok with going on walks in your neighborhood then you can bet we'll be pounding the street while your pet is in my care! I'll stick to parks/neighborhoods your pet is familiar with, unless you would prefer the get exposure to new areas.

About: Howdy! I started sitting when I was a young child, I learned to sit before I could walk. Now I am an excellent sitter and walker. 😂 Perfect for all the cat& dog needs of walking, or running, and great sitting for playing/petting. I like pets and will care for them with love as I do for mine. Treating your dear family member as a loved creation of God. I have owned at least one dog since 2010. I lost my cat to feline leukemia when he was 7. I understand the needs for different pets and do my best to be available as needed for those who have to leave their best friends for a short time. I can take care of pets in their own home, unfortunately at this time I am unable to house them. I have class a few hours in the morning then a long break before I work in the evenings for about 5 hours. This makes it easy for me to stop in and take care of pets as needed. I love spending time with my dog and take study breaks to play with him. In the mornings we go on long walks. Short walks in the afternoon with inside play time. And long walks and playing in the evening, sometimes we go to the dog park. I will treat your pet as I treat mine, ready to get loving scratches and all the energy out.

I am an athlete, runner, cyclist, swimmer, so I can exercise your dogs if needed as often as needed. I can take care of any size dog, I m a very strong woman. Also can learn any special needs they might have. I am reliable and responsible. It is an everyday life hack for me. I cannot be without animals around me. I live in a little farm in the Houston Suburbs. it's important to provide a safe and comfortable environment. This may include providing a designated area for the pet to sleep, access to food and water, and regular exercise and playtime. I follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and any other specific needs their pets may have. It's important to ensure that the pets are kept safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and to provide regular updates and communication to the owners about how their pets are doing. In both cases, it's important to be prepared for emergencies and to have a plan in place for any unexpected situations that may arise.
