House Sitting in Lakeside City

“Jodi was wonderful! She was communicative throughout our trip and sent us picture updates of our dog, which I really appreciated. She is very conscientious and considerate. Will definitely book with her again for our next trip away!”

About: I am an experienced animal caretaker with veterinary technician knowledge and lots of love for animals of all kinds! I have years of experience pets sitting for friends and family as well as professional experience caring for animals in a hospital and clinical environment. The pets’ comfort and safety is my upmost priority when caring for them. I can pet sit all weekend and nights during the weekdays. I will go over multiple times a day at whatever frequency needed during the weekends. I am able to walk, feed, water, administer medication, clean litter, bathe, and play with pets! I am great with adapting to what the pets and owners need.

“Short notice needed care but was a godsend for my high energy Pup. He was in such great spirits when I got home but tuckered out and ready for bed so I know he had a lot of attention. Highly recommend.”

“I was able to take a trip and relax…not worry about my girls, that says everything! She was with the dogs evenings and nights, followed the feeding regimen, held play time and let them sleep with her! I found Lori to be smart, dependable and trustworthy. She will be my go to for all future pet sitter needs!”

“I highly recommend Kaleeanna! She is so kind, and my cats were very comfortable with her! She listened to every detail about my cats specific feeding needs and made me feel confident she would take care of them like her own. She sent pictures and stayed in frequent contact during our vacation. She was also respectful of our house and left it just the way she found it. I truly appreciated her!”

“Jaden took great care of Deekon and took great care of the house while we were gone. It was as if we had never left. It is great to come back to a home after a vacation and know everything will be as you left it. Thank you Jaden!”

“Miranda kept our 12-year-old dog, Lucy, at our home during Christmas week. She was fantastic! She sent us multiple photos of Lucy every day -- some with a Santa hat and reindeer ears! -- and was incredibly communicative the entire time. She responded to every text message promptly. Lucy looked really happy and well cared for in every photo. When our flight back to Dallas got unexpectedly pushed to the next day, she was willing and happy to stay with Lucy for one more night. She even left a stuffed animal (a dog in a Christmas outfit, of course :) as a gift for our 3-year-old daughter. I will absolutely be reaching out to Miranda again when we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Laura did a wonderful job, she stayed at my house over the weekend to watch my two dogs and cat. She sent photos every day and updates! I will definitely be using her again.”

About: My entire life I have been surrounded by dogs. Since the day I was brought home from the hospital my childhood home had at least two at all times. We had everything from Rottweilers (Damien, Vegas, Blackjack, Slick), Cane Corsos (Ms. Harley Quinn), English Mastiffs (Rino Nevada, Jack), Pit Bulls (Lucky Duck), Boxers (Joker), to a toy poodle (Grizzly). I have experience, sadly on two occasions, of caring for a dog from the earliest stages of terminal cancer to the last days and all that entitles. Helping them walk, carrying them if necessary, giving medications, adjusting their meals to make it easier to keep down. I also have experience with senior dogs. Anywhere from making them handmade meals to eat multiple times a day that's both easy on what teeth they may still have while also being nutritious like they need, to carrying them outside for potty breaks if their joints are flaring up, to medications/ointment/massages the doctor recommends, and cleaning up the extra messes they make accidentally and cannot control. I cannot remember a time in my life where I havent helped to take care of them. Feeding, watering, walking, playing, and loving on with pets and cuddles. I work a regular 8-5 office job Monday through Friday with an hour lunch worked in. During the work week: I can care pets anywhere from 5:30am-7:30am for the morning. Again on my lunchbreak from either 11:30am-12:30pm or, if preferred, 2:00pm-3:00pm. A third time between 5:00-7:00 for the early evening. And a fourth between 10:00pm-12:00am During weekends: Basically at any time with the exception of Saturday between the hours of 10:30am-12:00pm (I have weekly breakfast with my family during that time). In my household there are currently two cats and two dogs. Only one of the cats is mine, and the other cat and two dogs belong to my two housemates and best friends. A typical day of care for me is waking up early to get in my morning cuddles with my kitty before getting up to feed both both of the cats and check on their water. If the water wasn't refilled at some point during the previous day I dump everything out, refill, and put the required amount of water additive in it to assist my cats teeth and gums due to a chipped tooth he had at the time of my rescuing him and a tendency to have red gums along the edges of his teeth. The additive is not suppose to stay in the water longer than 24hrs, so I keep track for the times it isnt naturally taken care of by all being drank before then. I then check Kenny's litterbox for any signs of possible problems like red stool, blood, diarrhea, ect before cleaning it and putting more litter if needed. He gets some more pets and kisses, a little play if he's up for it, before heading to work. My housemate comes home during her lunch break, otherwise I would do so, to check in on all the pets and make sure everyone is doing well and has properly eaten their breakfast. When I return home from work I get treated at the door by very enthusiastic bunch. Pets, love, and a few kisses later I give Kenny his second meal (one of the puppies, Kuma, and I have an unspoken agreement that he gets four pieces of cat food sat on the floor for him), check to make sure nobody has been sick in the house and needs to have an eye kept of them, sweep up any litter or leaves in the floor, brush the Australian Sheppard out to prevent excess fur in the house, and then settle down to have some cuddle and/or play time depending on what type of mood everyone is in. Before bed the cats get one last meal, the puppies get treats, the water is checked, the little box is checked a second time for the day for any possible issues and then cleaned, and a little cat plasters himself along my entire side to settle in for some sleep. Kenny does get some gel every third day to help with hairballs, which I apply to my finger and get into his mouth to he will eat it, so that gets added in if needed. One of the dogs requires joint medicine and if needed due to schedules I also give that to her. The dogs dad likes playing ball with them daily, which I participate in if I'm around. A few times a day I also.walk around the house to make sure everything is in its place to make.it easier for Kenny to avoid bumping into things due to his lack of vision.

“Melanie Was great with our pets. They were well taken care of. It was like we never left. The “ kiddos” were like “ oh your home, that’s nice” and continued on there merry way like it was no big deal. She the house clean. She was very responsible and I would recommend her.💕”

“Janet was great with my girls she was very attentive she adhered to my care instructions and My girls seemed very comfortable with her she kept in touch with me with any questions and kept sending me pictures daily of my pups definitely cares for pets and I saw that by the care she gave my girls. She graciously accepted any additional tasks that may have come up along with caring for my home as well I would definitely rebook with Janet she's an All-Star pet sitter and she made my vacation that much better because I knew that my girls were cared for by someone that would treat them like I do.”

“Misty was fantastic! I planned a very last minute overnight trip, and Misty jumped right in and took excellent care of my dogs! Even sent me updates and videos. I got home and my dogs were absolutely exhausted... meaning they had way too much fun with Miss Misty! I'm definitely keeping her on my short list for sitters in the future.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of almost all breeds since I was 14. My friends, family and neighbors have depended on me to take care of their dogs while out on work or vacations. I work full time at a pet clinic as a Communication Care Team but I am always willing to try to fit to your schedule to better help your pet. I have a fenced yard and three dogs that can keep your pet company. If the pet does not like mine, I can easily have them in separate rooms. I have a dog stroller if needed for elder dogs to go on walks, along with water bottles and a bowl.

About: I've lived in a dog owning household my entire life. I currently own a dachshund and a blue heeler. My heeler is my 12 year old baby. I work at a bank full time M-F in Wichita Falls. I'm looking for either weekend jobs sitting or evening jobs walking and playing during the week. My family has a privacy fence, and all of our dogs receive regular vaccinations from PETS. At your discretion we could let your dog play with the dachshund or they can outside time alone. If they need to be boarded we have a spare bedroom to keep any crate trained animals.

“I am so happy we found Camille. She did everything I asked to every detail, gave our kids a lot of attention, and took great care of our home.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole and if i you were to ask my friends, i’m the biggest dog person they know! Any breed, any size, i’ll love them all! I currently work from 8:30am to 3pm from Monday to Friday. I also have about an hour for lunch each day so if needed i can stop by then! I do have a cat of my own so i do spend quite a bit of time with her but i am still able to stay overnights when needed! I will 100% put your babies first and make sure they are well taken care of. I have grown up with animals my entire life and they’ve always been so important to me!
