House Sitting Jacksonboro

About: As an avid animal lover, I’ve found myself fortunate enough to be able to not only work in the veterinary field, but also to be able to work with all kinds of animals. From the scaled, slithery ones, to 1800 pound draft horses, I’ve experienced it all. I currently have 2 dogs, 6 cats, 1 snake, and a draft horse of my own. Caring for animals is truly a passion of mine and I care for all of them as if they are my own. Pet care takes up most of my daily routine. I tend to find myself taking care of them before I even bother getting myself ready for the day. I like to pamper; I believe these animals are so precious and deserve nothing but my full attention. Respecting somebody else’s property is a very big thing for me. I also want you and your fur baby to feel safe and comfortable with the distance apart. I love to send pictures or videos of them so this way you have cute and current updates. I’ve done quite a bit of training with my own dog and previous dogs I have worked with, so I might try to teach them something new. My chocolate Lab is super friendly and playful; she might hog the toys a little bit but she always ends up sharing and playing. I have a pretty good sized fenced in yard for them to play and roam, as well as a field and county park in my neighborhood that we can take walks to and enjoy the sun. If the fur baby requires a crate he/she with get a plush bed to sleep on, and spend most of their day out and roaming around. If the fur baby doesn’t need a crate at night, he/she can get all the cuddles they want.

“Heidi was a wonderful dog and house-sitter and took great care of my pup while I was away. I appreciated all the updates and photos! I would definitely recommend her for future pet care needs!”

“Elise was wonderful with our boys! Lots of Updates and she reached out when she had any questions. She took great care of our senior min pin that has a pretty heavy medication routine. And our other young and typically fearful dog warmed up to her almost immediately. We had great peace of mind leaving our dogs in Elise’s care. We will absolutely work with her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets (dogs, cats, geckos) big and small since I was young. I absolutely love nothing more than walking in to the house and getting such a warm (and sometimes slobbery) greeting. Traveling with pets can be hard, so let me spoil your fur babies so you can enjoy yourself! I currently work in a restaurant so I’m pretty flexible Monday-Thursday. When I do work, it’s not until 4 pm so I’m available all day before that and I’m off anywhere between 10 pm and midnight. I have tons of free time for drop in visits, and can house sit with no problems as well as long as me going to work at 4 pm into the night is okay. I am more than happy to stay in your home while you’re gone to make sure your fur babies have constant love and affection while you’re gone! I have no problem letting them outside throughout the day, going on walks, feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, giving them pets, etc. I can also do numerous drop in visits if that works better, offering all the same services! I have my own pets at my house so I unfortunately can’t bring them here, but I’d be more than happy to come to your home!

“Graham has stayed at our home with our dogs multiple times. Our dogs love him and we always find everything in perfect order when we come home. We very much appreciate his great work for us.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have years of experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. As an elementary school teacher, I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As an elementary school teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care before and after school, in the evenings, on weekends, and during school breaks. During the summer, I have much more flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight stays. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and provide reliable, loving care whenever you need it. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’ll follow your instructions carefully to keep them feeling comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Sharon went above and beyond caring for my fur babies!! Extremely attentive to both of their special needs and was Johnny on the spot answering questions and providing pictures, as well as keeping my updated during the day of how things were going. She's a rockstar and would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”

“James was phenomenal. Can't say more than enough. Our cat and senior dog were very well cared for. Our cat, is normally mad when I leave even for work and will hide in response but when we arrived home, he happily greeted us. Even funnier, as we settled in for the night, our dog came out lookong for him, and we know exactly where he sat because he went to that spot, sniffed around and settled there as if he was waiting for him to come back. It was very sweet and we were touched and comforted by that display (our dog normally sticks to my son when he's home). We will absolutely ask him to sit again when the need arises. Thank you 1000 times over.”

About: Been a pet mom since I was young. All the pets, from dogs and cats to reptiles, birds, rodents and fish! Even cared for and rehabilitated a Macaw. My schedule is mostly flexible right now, getting booked up, so please book early! I am willing to do same day, if possible and I am free, so don’t hesitate to reach out! I’ve been pet sitting around Beaufort for the last 2 years. Looking forward to all the love with your babies. Please do not hesitate to ask about discounted rates for multiple pets or extra nights 🐶🐱 Currently working part time, my schedule is pretty flexible at the moment! I can drop in 2-3 times per day on my days off and a few times, depending on your babies schedule, on my days of work. We can work out the sleepovers at time of booking if that’s what you’ll require! I’m open to most requests to make sure your babies are getting the best care so you can enjoy your time away! My kitties have free range of the house and furniture, and it’s kept clean and odor-free lol I will follow what ever your rules are in your home for your pets. I prefer to care for your pets in your home.

About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s dog while out of town. I love doggos and hope to adopt my own in the future! I used to be a teacher for many years. Right now my schedule is very flexible! I’m a homebody and love going for daily walks. I’m a very clean and organized person. This makes it easy for pets to roam around freely and safely! My husband unfortunately is allergic to cats so I will not be hosting cats in our home. If your cat is hypoallergenic (short haired and bathed beforehand) we can discuss overnight stays!

“JaLisa was awesome. She took excellent care of our two yorkies. The dogs were very calm when we returned. They ate good and slept good. I really like the ideal of keeping the dogs in there home environment, and providing consistency with the dogs. JaLise was able to provide that for me. I will be contacting her again. Thanks JaLisa!”

“We were out of town for the weekend, and Miss Ashlyn took wonderful care of Fallon. She followed all of Fallon’s feeding and medication instructions, took her on walks, and kept us updated with messages and photos. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Fallon was in such caring and reliable hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup! We highly recommend Miss Ashlyn and would gladly trust her with Fallon again.”

About: I take the time to understand each dog's unique personality, needs, and preferences. Whether it's a spirited puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I tailor my services accordingly. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your busy life and your dog's needs, whether it's daily walks, overnight stays, or special requests for your pups. I aim to maintain your pet's familiar surroundings, minimizing stress and anxiety. I adhere to your pet's usual routines, feeding schedules, and exercise preferences that is needed

“She has been my go-to sitter for years and my dogs love her. She always is very communicative and keeps me updated on everywhere and sends me pictures of my dogs being dorks and showing how happy they are”

Olivia H.

“Mariah is without a doubt the best dog sitter we’ve had so far and we have hired many throughout the years. She was very thoughtful (before, during and after the stay), super attentive with our pups, compassionate, and communicative. Mariah is also very clean and respectful of other peoples homes. We were away for nearly 4 nights due to a late flight and Mariah made us being away from our dogs feel way less stressful than normal - that’s always the worst part about going out of town and not knowing who you’re leaving your loved ones with. I felt completely at ease with Mariah staying with our Tina and Otis. I highly recommend using Mariah as your next dog sitter - we will be using her again.”

About: I will love your animals as they are my own and send constant updates for you. I will stay in your home and make them and you as comfortable as possible. I work a job as well but love to do this on the side. I make the time for it and am there for you and your animals. I make sure to ask what is needed from me so when to feed and how much. If they take any meds I need to give them or daily walks and baths. I can do whatever is needed/asked of me

About: I know that finding someone to care for your dog is nerve-racking and the last thing you need when traveling or having a long day at work is to worry if your dog is safe and happy. Whether you need doggy day care, boarding, or someone to drop by and walk, play with, and feed your pup, you can be assured that your dog will get the VIP treatment and all the attention they deserve! I am a professor with a very flexible schedule. I am only required to be on campus for a couple hours at a time, so I am able to stay home with the pups for most of the day and provide frequent walks, play, and enrichment. I have been pet sitting for 15+ years, and I've always had dogs. My family has had standard poodles since before I was born, and now I have my own 6-year-old brown poodle, Marrón, who loves having dog friends over to visit. Dogs continuously amaze me with their intelligence and affection, and I aim to return all of the love they give to us. Dogs continue to *train me* on how to respect and work with pups to help them be happy and well-adjusted. I understand that each dog is a unique individual, and I love learning the quirks and needs of each dog. I have studied dog behavior and training and use science-based positive reinforcement methods. My goal is to help dogs and humans work as a team. I am comfortable with a wide range of dogs, from puppy to full-grown, small to large, and all breeds. While pet sitting or dog walking, I can help give your dogs the socialization and exercise they need, making sure they work their brains as well as their bodies. I am also happy to support any obedience and habit training that you are working on. I know that a well-exercised puppy or dog is a happy puppy/dog, and so I'm here to help you and your dog be as happy as possible together All potential clients must set up a meet and greet to ensure that my dog, Marrón, and your pooch get along. He is very social, so dogs who do not get along with other dogs would not be a good match. He does well with most dogs, and even if your dog doesn't love to play, he is ok just co-existing. I do separate the dogs periodically throughout the day for downtime and feeding, but I want to ensure that all dogs are comfortable and happy co-existing in the home together. (Please note: My doggie daycare price is for a standard 8-hour workday. For half days or extended hours longer than 8 hours, we will adjust the price accordingly. I have a fairly flexible schedule, so I can adjust my schedule around the dogs in my care. I am only required to be on campus for a couple of hours at a time, so I am able to stay home with the pups for most of the day and provide frequent walks, play, and enrichment. While I am home most of the day, I do sometimes leave for a couple of hours, so your dog needs to be comfortable being left alone for brief periods of time, whether in the house or in a crate. My typical schedule is below, but I adjust according to each dog’s needs 6-8am - Long Morning Walk or playing at local dog park. Then breakfast 8am-Midday - Downtime (with pee or play breaks as needed for puppies, seniors, or special needs) Midday - Short walk and play break Afternoon - Downtime (with pee or play breaks as needed for puppies, seniors, or special needs) ~ 4-7pm Long walk and outside play (weather permitting). If it's too hot, then enrichment games and play inside after all dogs have relieved themselves. Dinner Evening chill time and cuddle. Last potty break before bedtime. Your dog will be treated like a member of my family. I do my best to help dogs feel comfortable and like to know what rules and routines they are used to at home, so I can provide that here. I will provide the appropriate walks, exercise, and activities for your pup. Marrón is very active, so we go on at least 2 long walks a day and to the dog park in our complex, in addition to more frequent potty breaks. In addition to the dog park in my complex, I live down the street from a larger dog park, and in a very walkable neighborhood. If your dog is not good with dog parks, we will go on walks and find other ways to get them safe exercise and enrichment! I live in a 2br, 2-story apartment, which is set up for maximum dog fun and safety. I can gate off each room to give the dogs their own space, and I tend to do so periodically during the day to give them breaks from playing and to let them eat and nap in peace. I do not take more than 2 dogs at a time, and only when I know that they will get along. So your dog will get lots of attention and supervision. If your dog is crate-trained, I can set your crate up in my house, in my bedroom or in my living room, based on your preference. I also have two crates that I can set up for your dog if they are comfortable in crates other than their own.

About: I always take care of dogs. Since I was 5. I knew if nose is wet so this means dog in good condition.like a small kid It’s very important to know how your dog make a 💩. It’s our little brothers who love us no matter who we are. I wake up early always have some time in the morning for good walk. Especially with fluffy friend. Walk will be more comfortable and interesting. If be honest I am not ready to take care of dog at my apartments cause dog will need special space to be comfortable. But we will figure out what to do. I am always can found compromise.
