About: I have grown up around all types of dogs from big to large, young to old! I can care for any types of cats too! I love all types and willing to do what makes them happy! I am currently a college student home for the summer and have so much free time! I have time to love and learn about any pet to meet their needs! I have a dog and cat at home with a fenced yard! I am willing to watch at your home to make it comfortable for your pets to allow them to feel safe. I can continue any training they are going through and maybe teach them something new!

About: I have a lot of experience caring for my 4 year old dog, Mr. Peanutbutter, and I occasionally look after my mother's 2 year old dog, Smokey. Mr. Peanutbutter requires regular grooming, exercise, and a healthy regular diet. I make sure he receives 2 daily walks, and plenty of play time. I also manage his feeding schedule and monitor his overall well being through regular vet checkups and grooming appointments. When I look after Smokey, I ensure he is well fed, gets plenty of physical activity, and enjoys interactive playtime. Smokey's energetic nature means I focus on providing him with enough exercise and mental challenges to prevent boredom. I'm used to managing the different needs of both dogs, making sure they receive the attention and care they require to stay happy and healthy. I currently stay at home so I have plenty of time to spend on taking care of your dog's needs. I personally take my dog on a walk once when I wake up and again in the evening depending on the weather and have the flexible schedule to adapt to different needs. My home has a fenced yard with plenty of space to run and and play with a patio area and another fenced off pool area.

About: **Pet Care Experience** As a passionate and dedicated pet sitter, my experience is enriched by my love for animals and my commitment to their well-being. What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse skill set and my attention to the individual needs of each pet. I have experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments, allowing me to tailor my care to suit each animal’s personality. My background includes: - **Training Puppies:** I have successfully trained several puppies in basic obedience commands and socialization techniques, ensuring they develop good behavior and build confidence. I utilize positive reinforcement methods to encourage desired behaviors. - **Senior Pet Care:** I understand the unique requirements of senior pets, such as dietary restrictions, medication management, and gentle exercise routines. I take the time to ensure they are comfortable and provide engaging activities to keep them mentally stimulated. - **First Aid Certification:** I'm certified in pet first aid and CPR, which gives me the ability to handle emergencies effectively and provide immediate care when needed. - **Personalized Care Plans:** I create individualized care plans for each pet, considering their health needs, daily routines, and preferences. This helps foster a sense of security and comfort while their owners are away. With my experience and special skills in pet training and senior care, I strive to provide a nurturing environment that promotes happiness and health for every pet I sit. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, seamlessly blending with my lifestyle and responsibilities. Here’s how I incorporate it: 1. **Morning Routine:** My day starts with a commitment to my own pets or the pets in my care. I ensure they are fed, given fresh water, and taken for a morning walk. This not only helps with their physical health but also establishes a positive start to I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate various pet care needs. Whether it’s visiting pets during the day for walks and playtime or providing overnight stays, I adjust my activities to ensure each pet receives the attention Throughout the day, I check in with the pets I’m caring for, observing behavior and ensuring they are happy and comfortable. This includes play sessions, training exercises, or simply spending quality time together. I prioritize communication with pet owners. I send regular updates and photos, giving them peace of mind while they are away. This helps build trust and keeps everyone informed about how their pets are doing. In the evenings, I often dedicate time to enrichment activities such as training sessions, games, or leisurely walks. This not only helps with physical exercise but also strengthens the bond between pets and myself. On weekends, I like to plan longer outings or visits to local parks, giving pets the chance to explore new environments and socialize with other animals. These outings help keep them engaged and happy. By incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine, I ensure that the pets I look after receive consistent and loving attention, contributing to their overall well-being and happiness. Caring for pets, whether in my home or in my client's home, requires a tailored approach that prioritizes the comfort, safety, and well-being of the animals. Here’s how I manage pet care. My home is equipped with a pet-friendly environment, ensuring that there are no hazards such as toxic plants, small objects, or chemicals within reach. I have designated areas for pets to relax and play. 2. **Daily Routine:** Pets staying with me benefit from a structured routine that includes feeding, exercise, and playtime. I adhere to the feeding schedule provided by the pet owner to foster a loving atmosphere through regular interaction, bonding activities, and enrichment exercises. Whether it's playing fetch, engaging in training sessions, or cuddling, I ensure that pets feel happy and secure. 4. **Health Monitoring:** I keep a close eye on the pets for any signs of discomfort or health issues. Regular check-ins and playtime help me I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine in their familiar surroundings. I follow the client’s specified feeding, walking, and play schedules to provide consistency and comfort. 2. **Safety Protocols:** I ensure that the home is secure, checking that doors and windows are locked and that pets are provided with a safe area to relax. If applicable, I also supervise interactions with other pets or children.

About: I have experience raising my own high energy puppy and understand the importance of reinforcing your training and routine!

“Raquel is such a loving person and my dog Mabel had an instant connection with her. She took Mabel out for an adventure down to Mississippi bar which is a favorite of our dog, and had a fabulous time. We have a large dog with a mind of her own and Raquel is great with her. I would definitely recommend .”

About: Just moved to Texas from California but I grew up on a ranch with horses and cattle. My love for animals has always been my passion and I happen to have several of my own. Currently my husband and I own three dogs, three birds, one tortoise and a mini pig. We have no children so they are all my babies!! For two years I had the pleasure of pet sitting while in California and I enjoyed what I did so very much. Being around animals makes my spirit happy. Boarding and pet sitting is so amazing and I grew very fond of each animal. Your pet will have a very fun and interactive time with me and while you are away you will have no worries about them being safe.

“Alli is reliable, kind, and knows her dog breeds. I have a high energy/ quirky Aussie and he took to Alli immediately! She has such a calming energ and clearly is very comfortable with animals. Even better, she’s great at communicating and sending updates. Highly recommend Alli”

About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth and began actively helping care for cats and dogs at age 6. I’ve cared for pregnant stray cats and fostered their newborn kittens to young adulthood and beyond. I’ve both raised and helped train dogs from birth as well as caring for elderly pups. I’ve seen animals at all stages of life and cared for them at all stages of life, both cat and dog. I am active and love to walk so if that’s your dog we’ll get along great! I also love relaxing while drinking tea, reading, or gardening, so if your fur baby is a bit on the calmer side or elderly they’ll get plenty of rest, cuddles, and love. I work part-time but I walk/bike daily and have the majority of my days free to walk, play, and love on sweet fur baby’s. I miss having animals in my home and would love to help you with yours! I have a good size fenced-in backyard and am not too worried about little (or big) paws on my furniture. There's room to play either inside or out, a quiet neighborhood to walk in, and a park a few minutes away. If your companion is crate trained I do have my own crates if that is something you need/are interested in. I have had to care for sick as well as elderly babies, both dogs, and cats, so if your pet needs certain accommodations or extra attention I have some experience in working with those that need a little extra help.

About: I grew up with dogs- Huskies and German Shepard. Also grew up with cats- mostly Siamese. I’m very active and love running and long walks if you’re pup is for it! I have an eager almost six year old son who loves to help out and is very gentle with pets. I’m a teacher, so I’m available weekends, all the long holiday breaks, and all summer. I can do during the work week as well, but am gone 7.5 hours! My son is wanting a dog and I’m looking for any excuse to get outdoors and moving as much as possible, so I figured dog walking and sitting would be perfect for our little family. We have some big goals for our little family as well and would love the opportunity to earn your business and help us accomplish those :) We don’t discriminate against cats and would love to watch them as well. I live in a pet friendly community and can sit in my all hardwood floor three bedroom townhome that has a dog park on site. During the school year, I am gone for 7.5 hours during the day, so please keep that in mind if you need boarding on weekdays when school is in session :) A few musta for doggies in our home- they must be house trained, they must be okay home alone for the workday (unless during a holiday week or summer), in which case they must be okay independently for up to 5 hours. Dogs cannot be temperamental or whine/bark when left alone out of respect for neighbors and their own well being :)
