Dog Sitting in Lavon

About: As a teacher and mom, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail to every pet I care for. I understand the importance of routines, consistency, and trust when caring for animals in someone’s home. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals of various ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior pets, and pets that require extra care or medication. I specialize in drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting, and I always make sure pets receive reliable care, attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. I also provide regular photo and message updates so pet parents feel confident and informed. What Sets Me Apart: Personalized Care 🐾: I tailor my services to fit your pet’s specific needs and personality. Reliable & Trustworthy ✅: With my background in teaching, you can count on me to be professional, punctual, and responsible. Fun & Engaging 🎾: Your pets will get plenty of attention, play, and walks to keep them happy and active. Peace of Mind 📸: I’ll send you regular updates with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pets are well taken care of. Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I am currently on summer break and have full daytime availability. During the school year, I maintain structured morning, evening, and weekend availability. I am highly organized and able to manage multiple visits per day while ensuring each pet receives quality care and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, respect, and consistency. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and preferred activities. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure after each visit. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide updates throughout each visit so owners feel confident and reassured. I understand how important it is to maintain consistency, and I make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise just as I do for my own cat. I also prioritize keeping your home tidy and safe, cleaning up after pets and ensuring everything stays in its proper place. I’ll send you regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel at ease while you're away. Your pets will receive the same loving care and attention I give my own family, and your home will be treated with the utmost respect.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I can remember! I grew up with a small Pekingese in the house and now I have a 3 year old Lab pup named Zara. Since then I have taken care of many more pets, breeds I’ve worked with include Labs, Goldens, beagles, bulldogs, pugs, landseers, pit bulls and mixed breeds. I’ve done lots of baby sitting alongside pet sitting, while taking care of the baby I would also take care of the pet in the home! I would take them both on walks, feed them and play outside! I also have experience with senior dogs, last year I took care of Waimea, a senior golden who had eye problems, I would feed her, give her medicine and cleanse her eyes. I also have experience with Cats! I currently work fully remote on my own schedule so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! As well as obviously the weekends! In my home we have plenty of space for your dog! We have lots of space, a big fenced backyard and my house is located in the waterview community which has access to parks and trails for long walks!

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My pets are my children so I love them fiercely. I have worked with and volunteered with animals for the last 15 years. I’ve spent time with pets in a clinic environment as a vet tech, a shelter environment as a kennel tech and dog walker, and a rescue environment as a volunteer. My volunteer time has included transporting pets, walking dogs, helping mamas who just had puppies, and loving on new puppies too! I have flexibility and freedom with my schedule. I can do drop ins, stay and visit with your pet for a bit, and do feedings or give meds if need be. Because my own dogs can be knuckleheads, I can take care of your pets in your home. It might help make their time away from you easier for them anyhow. I can take them for walks, play with them in your yard, take them for car rides, and just hang out with them. My goal would be to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. When they’re happy, you’re happy…and then you can enjoy your time away.

“Alexis is great. It gave us such comfort and peace to know our Jack was taken care of. Look forward to future bookings!”

I’m currently a stay at home wife and I can adjust my care to fit their specific needs and personality. I'm patient, detail-oriented, and always make sure your pet feels secure and cared for.

About: I have always had pets in my life since I was at a very young age. I recently moved to Princeton with my family and we are animal lovers all the way! I currently work from home, I and my wife also have a dog Luka who is 3 y/o and would love some company to play and exercise. We live on a nice apartment property, located super close to Carrollton Blue and Orange trails and outdoor. We always clean up and respect our four-legged friends. I have a very flexible job, that allows me to take many breaks during the day, allowing me to look after the doggies. I usually have smooth music for Luka while I'm on a call, but 80% of the time we just hang out until the next break to go out and walk around. On weekends we like going to the outdoors to get that extra excersice when needed. I take care with the basics needs first, always filtered water and safe to use toys, I like keeping them entertained with toys or a comfy sofa to lay down. I like taking them on walks nearby, as our apartment isn't fenced I like to keep him on a leash until we go to a park where they can run a little and stretch those legs.

“We had a great experience with Kelly. She was very kind, punctual, and our two pups were immediately comfortable with her. She sent detailed updates during each drop-in visit, which gave us peace of mind. We will absolutely rebook her in the future! Thank you Kelly!!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember, and for the past eight years my family has run a dog rescue out of our home. Because of that, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of every size, age, and temperament. I am comfortable with any dog, from playful puppies to seniors. Growing up in a rescue environment taught me how to read dog behavior, build trust quickly, and make sure each dog feels safe and supported. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering basic medications, and managing energetic dogs who need extra exercise. As a pet owner, I know how important communication and updates are. So I will always give regular updates and treat dogs as if they are my own. I have classes at night from 6-9pm Mon-Thursday. I am currently volunteering as a wrestling coach for Wesleyan University, so some of my weekends may be busy or unavailable. Other than that, I am very flexible with my hours. When caring for a pet, it’s important to make sure they feel as comfortable as possible. For me, that means following their routine closely so they always feel safe and secure. I plan to stick to their schedule, maintain their normal habits, and give them the same love and attention they’re used to when their owners are home.

“Macensey did a fantastic job with my very shy scared dog, definitely went above and beyond to help him. Hope she is available next time I go out of town!”

About: With a strong foundation in canine handling and care developed over many years, complemented by personal experience as a pet owner. I am currently working part time with a small business dog groomer. As a student, I have three days per week available. My current responsibilities include the dedicated care of two 8-month-old family puppies, and I am actively seeking opportunities to expand my practical experience with a diverse range of canines. I am dedicated to providing personalized canine care that aligns seamlessly with your dogs’ existing schedules and your specific instructions. My focus is on ensuring their physical health through appropriate exercise and mental stimulation, while also prioritizing their emotional well-being through positive reinforcement and affectionate interaction.

About: Hi to all! My name is Amby, and I would love to take care of your fur baby! I have been dog-sitting for about 2 years now, and have worked with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I have experience with administering medications, picking up dogs from daycare, staying overnight, assisting dogs with physical needs, and dog walking/drop-ins. I also used to be a day-foster at Operation Kindness, where I got my wonderful dog, Huey! I would love to have the privilege to meet your fur baby. Please message me if you have any questions- my schedule is flexible. My schedule is fairly flexible, as I work at a school during the year and am currently off for the summer! Please message me if you have any questions or concerns. I care for your pets by ensuring every walk is a structured, personalized adventure tailored to your pet's breed and needs. For example, high-energy breeds may prefer a jog to a local park, while calmer breeds may prefer a small trot around the block. Focused on safety and reliability, I watch your pets very closely to ensure they don't grow too tired, and I provide detailed updates and photos after every session!

“Michele is awesome-she cares and takes great interest in our cat - we can really tell the difference when we return that our sweet cat is doing great! We are already a repeat customer?”

About: Hiya! My name is AJ, and I am a dada to a 2-year-old rescued Pomeranian mix named Blue. If you're anything like me, your world revolves around your dog, giving them your always-deserved attention and spoiling them till your wallet bleeds. I am working as a part-time IT intern in Dallas and also attending school part-time in Richardson. I am primarily free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We wake up to take Blue on his morning backyard outing, after which he gets his teeth brushed, his dental chews, and his silky smooth fur brushed. With Blue, we schedule trips to the dog park every other day, regular evening walks/runs, and end with some nose job (hide-and-seek) or a rope pull. Blue loves his beauty sleep, so we keep the day light with activities. On the weekends, we visit Lavonia Park, where we let him run till he can't run anymore, and maybe cool off by Lake Lavon if he's feeling adventurous. We believe in flexibility and welcome surprises into our day, be it a $10 jacket find that leads to an In-N-Out run with some pup patty! I live with my mom and my two siblings, who are 17 and 15. We live in a house, and have a fenced backyard with access through a doggy door. I treat Blue as delicately as an egg—minimal noise with a controllable stimulation level for relaxation. Our home is welcoming and conducive to humans and doggos alike, ensuring a full stomach, lots of belly rubs, and a big smile on your face.

“Alexis has exceeded our expectations in every way! She goes above and beyond to make sure our fur babies are getting the love and attention they deserve. She is responsive and timely, not to mention she takes the best pictures of our pups. You will be extremely fortunate to have Alexis take care of your pets! Highly recommended!”
