Pet Sitting in Lake Fork

“Highly recommend Elisha! She came to us at Shore Lodge to watch our small, anxious micro golden doodle. She was communicative, on time & kept us updated.”

“Jaime, was always great at communicating, 100percent reliable, and my dogs loved her. She is a top notch professional and extremely personable. I definitely plan to rebook again and again.”

About: Hi, I hope I receive the opportunity to care for your pet. I grew up on a cattle ranch with dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, almost anything you can name I took care of as a kid and growing up. I work as a pilot and I have a schedule of working 12 days on and 12 days off so my 12 days home. I am completely free zero responsibility from work. I can go to your house or your pet can come to my house. I have a house that can have dogs, cats and horses. And I have a large garage for days when it’s cold outside and the animals are welcome in the house as well.

About: Looking for a dog sitter who comes with a built-in best friend? Look no further! When you hire me, you aren't just getting a responsible, detail-oriented sitter—you’re getting the Pepita Premium Package. My chihuahua mix, Pepita, is a social butterfly who specializes in making every dog feel like part of the pack. Why Choose Us? • Double the Love: Your pup gets undivided attention from me and gentle companionship from a pint-sized expert in napping and play. • Tailored Care: Whether your dog is a high-energy hiker or a professional couch potato, we adapt to their rhythm. • Safety First: I’m highly experienced in canine body language and safety, ensuring a stress-free environment for everyone. • Built-in Entertainment: Watching Pepita and your pup bond is better than any reality TV show—guaranteed. Pepita doesn’t just meet new friends; she recruits them into her inner circle. We can’t wait to meet your furry family member and make them feel right at home! The "Morning Burn" (8 AM – 9:30 AM) Since you don’t start until 10, use that morning cushion to tire out the pack. • Active Play: A solid 30-minute walk or a focused game of fetch. • Mental Stimulation: Feed breakfast using a puzzle feeder or snuffle mat. • The Goal: You want your dog (and Pepita) to be ready for a long nap the moment you head out the door. 2. The Mid-Day Advantage Most dogs can hold their bladder for 6–8 hours, but since you are dog-sitting, your clients will appreciate extra care. • The Pepita Factor: Since they have each other, they are less likely to experience separation anxiety. They provide "passive enrichment" just by existing in the same space. • Lunch Break Check-ins: If you work nearby, a quick 15-minute potty break at 1 PM is a "gold star" service. If not, don't sweat it—six hours is very manageable for most healthy adult dogs. 3. Smart Environment Setup Make your home a "doggy spa" while you're gone: • Safe Zones: Use baby gates or a dedicated room so Pepita and the guest dog have plenty of space but stay out of trouble. • White Noise: Leave a radio or white noise machine on to drown out hallway sounds that might trigger barking. • The "Long-Lasting" Treat: Give them a safe chew or a frozen peanut butter toy right as you leave to create a positive association with your departure. 4. Post-Work Decompression (4:15 PM) The best part of a 4 PM finish is that you still have daylight for most of the year! • Immediate Relief: Head straight into the backyard or out for a "welcome home" stroll. • Quality Time: Use the evening for grooming or training sessions, which reinforces your bond with both Pepita and your guest. I am unavailable to have dogs in my home so I am strictly a drop in or at the clients home sitter. I would abide by the home owners guidelines and make sure that Pepita adapts as well.

About: I have taken care of dogs and other pets since I was a young child. I have an undergraduate degree in Ecology and Conservation Biology and am currently working on a master's in Environmental Education and Science Communication. I am very passionate about animals, both domestic and wild. I am a graduate student at the McCall Outdoor Science School, and I'm either in classes or teaching students 9 am-4 pm Monday through Friday. I am available for pet care before or after that window. I ensure that pets have numerous potty breaks, plenty of play and rest time, and, of course, they will get plenty of cuddles. If a fenced-in yard is unavailable, I will ensure they get extra walks into their daily routine.

“Audrey and her daughter took such good care of my pup! They were able to help me last second and played and loved my dog as their own! Definitely would leave my pup with them anytime I’m in the area!”
