Pet Sitting Lavaca

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals since I was born. I’ve personally owned both dogs and cats (currently have two very rotten cats!), but I’ve grown up with everything from kittens to chickens to cattle to German shepherds. I genuinely just love animals, and would be thrilled to get to know yours as well! I work full-time, but I work from home Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I’m based in Southtown, so I’m centrally located and can come visit your animals up to three times a day, or stay at your house. Unfortunately, since I live in an apartment, I cannot house any extra pets at my own home. I get it, your pet is your baby and you need someone you can trust! I’m an experienced pet sitter, whether you need them let out in your backyard, taken on walks, or given some cuddles, I can do it. I can provide pictures daily, and I’m very big on communication.

“Ericka clearly loves animals and took great care of our girls. She didn't have to, but she brought them out for day trips beyond the minimum. She also took great pictures.”

About: I have taken care of 25+ dogs and cats in the past 3 years, to include in home/overnight pet- and house-sitting, dog walking, brushing, litter box maintenance and pill-based medication administration. When taking care of other people’s pets, I provide the attention and care that I was seeking for my own cat and dog (who, sadly, are no longer with me.) My top priority is the safety of the pet, and to that end, I take no risks with the animals in my care – food protocols are carefully followed, walks are always on leash and doors are carefully monitored to ensure indoor cats remain indoors. With my pet care services, you will have: • Happy, safe and well-cared-for pets • A clean and orderly (tidy) home • Clear and timely communication • Regular and frequent updates (with photos and videos of your pets) • Reliable and dependable pet and home care As a recently-retired educator, I have a very flexible schedule, with plenty of time for your pets. I am available for daily walks, overnight or weekend house sits (your house or mine) and vacation sits (1-4 weeks is typical). When starting a new relationship with a client and their pet(s), I schedule a brief ‘pop over’ appointment where I can meet the animal(s) in the presence of their humans. This helps everyone involved – pets and humans – get to know me and feel comfortable with me before I take on the responsibility for the pet. I take care to be calm around the pets I sit - I let both cats and dogs take their time to warm up to me (come to me when they are ready, sniff my hands, my person, my things). I am careful when feeding animals - particularly dogs - giving them space. I follow the pet's routine - if they sleep on the bed, I let them sleep on the bed; if they like to go in and out frequently, I let them go in and out frequently. I try to make them as comfortable as I can, in their human's absence.

“Jessica is the best. Very responsive with communication and very flexible within reason. She treats your pet like the king or queen that they are. I’ve booked her before and I’ll continue to book her again”

“Jerry and Tito got along from day one. Jerry is responsible and takes the time to make sure Tito is comfortable. Jerry has full access to my home and is trustworthy and respectful, even sticks around to make sure Tito is ok after his long walks.”

Omar V.

“Very communicative! Received lots of photos and videos. Knowledgable of dog breeds and GDV. It was nice knowing she is as observant as I am. I have a food reactive dog and she followed feeding instructions perfectly. It brought me a lot of comfort knowing Anna was looking after them. Will book her again!”

Samantha S.

“Adirah is awesome! So sweet on our meet up she definitely assured me my kitty would be in good hands. Throughout the visit she took plenty of update pictures of him eating and playing alot. I strongly recommend her to anyone! I will message her first next time we need go on a mini vacation.”

“Allison took very good care of my cat during her drop-in visits while I was away for 10 days. She sent lots of pics and comments at each visit and my cat was very comfortable around her. Allison is professional and responsible. My house was in good order when we retuned. I would recommend her to others and book her again.”

About: I can't remember a time I didn't have a pet, since childhood. My childhood dog's name was Wallstreet and our cat was Clara. My dog Leia is my first dog as an independent adult. I've had her for 10 years. I started a cleaning business since 2019 and my clientele grew from word of mouth from people I would house sit and pet sit for since 2016. During that time I also cared for a woman with dementia for two years, checking on her twice a day, cleaning, going on outings, and giving meds. I still have my cleaning business and am looking for a new side hustle to supplement my income. I love animals and people and have a lot of free time, so this just made sense! I hope I can help spoil and love on your pets while you can't. I have a completely open and flexible schedule. The only things I do on a regular basis are some zoom calls at 7 pm early in the week and a couple outings/errands a week for an hour or two. In my home, dogs would be walked around the beautiful hills and scenery in my neighborhood. I don't have a fenced in yard. Cats and dogs would have full reign of the apartment. Animals are allowed on furniture. Actually, I am lucky they share the couch with me.

About: I’ve provided pet sitting services for friends and family for the past few years I’ve made it a point ensuring that they receive the care and attention they need while their owners are away. I am comfortable following specific feeding routines, and providing companionship to your fur babies. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your fur babies while you are away. I am currently working a part time job with the flexibility to be able to accommodate you and your fur babies needs when you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on fun and stimulating walks. I enjoy taking the time to get to know each pet's personality, preferences, and special needs to provide the best care possible.

About: I have had my Labrador for about 14 years now. I have always been surrounded by dogs and enjoy taking my dog on daily walks. i’m currently on summer break from college so i have plenty of time. I am usually free anytime after 10:30 am everyday. I am pretty flexible. I have all types of accommodations for any needs that are necessary as I have years worth of doggie supplies around my house as needed.
