Dog Sitting Magnolia

About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses. From raising my own dogs through every stage of life—puppies to seniors—I understand the love and attention pets need to thrive. I’m also experienced in administering medications, so you can feel confident that your pets are in capable, caring hands. My goal is to provide the same dependable, compassionate care I give my own animals, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work an early morning schedule from 12:00AM to 8:30AM or sometimes a little later, which allows me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the rest of the day. For overnight stays, depending on your pet’s needs, my husband is also available to provide morning feedings while I’m at work. This ensures your pets receive consistent care and attention, even during early hours. Despite my work schedule, I am fully committed to offering reliable, compassionate, and exceptional care, treating every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. Although I do not offer boarding services at my home due to the animals I already care for, I provide in-home pet care with the utmost dedication. When staying in your home, I treat it as if it were my own, ensuring your pets are cared for just as I would care for my own. I follow every detail you provide to keep them calm, comfortable, and happy throughout your time away, giving you peace of mind that they are in loving, capable hands.

About: I was a working dog handler in the Marine Corps. I’ve grown up with dogs since I could remember and was involved in working with rescues fostering dogs and taking care of pups that come in all shapes and sizes! I’m currently in between jobs until January so I am pretty much always going to be available for your fur babies any day of the week! I always ensure that your pups have everything they need plus more! Safety is a number one priority, I always make sure that everything is secured properly and that an animal has zero chance of being put in harms way! I’m also trained in canine first aid!

“Nichole took such great care of Ninja while we were on vacation over the holiday's. Knowing he was well cared for was such a relief. We also loved getting the pictures of him! Thanks Nichole for your professionalism and kindness. 10/10 would definitely book again.”

About: Hi! My name is Arielle and I have had dogs in my house since I was 5 years old! My dogs currently are both German Shepherds. My 3- year old female Vixen who is my self-trained and working Service Dog. And Diesel my intact 7-month old Male who is currently training for personal protection. I have experience handling all different breeds& sizes and have experience with many different temperaments. I have given pills and injections to dogs and am very comfortable with doing so. I also am able to provide first aid if needed. I work full time Monday- Friday as a Barn manager/ assistant trainer. But I have a long lunch break which I would be able to stop by to care for your pets as needed! But Weekends would be preferred I always make sure the pets I watch are my top priority and I will take care of them before doing anything else! I will always follow the instructions given and will spend as much time as possible with your four-legged friends!

About: I grew up with rescue dogs of all backgrounds and needs, learning to react under pressure and be gentle, patient, and caring. I understand when dogs need attention, versus when they need space. I’m currently enrolled as a part time student, meaning my afternoons and weekends are free so I can spend plenty of time taking care of pets. I’m also currently on the search for a part time job so my availability is subject to change in the future. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and play, as well as two small and friendly dogs to keep yours company. If there is any conflict or trouble between them, I can always put them in their crate where they occasionally sleep. We have a variety of toys and a beautiful, safe neighborhood to go for walks in.

“Natalie was super responsive and communicative throughout the whole process! I would absolutely rebook in the future if I need any future drop in visits for Rocco. Thank you Natalie for the help and for checking in on Rocco while I was out!”

About: I started dog walking and pet sitting at 18 as a way to pay rent during COVID. Like anyone learning on the job, I made some mistakes in the beginning, but over the past 6 years, I’ve made a complete 180 — gaining valuable knowledge and refining my skills to care for animals the right way. Now at 24 and working toward becoming a veterinarian, this has grown from a job into a true passion. I combine experience, education, and genuine love for animals to provide the best care possible for your furry friends. My schedule varies weekly, so I update my calendar regularly to ensure you can easily book dog walking and sitting services whenever you need it. When walking dogs, I always bring a water dispenser and doggy bags, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. For dog boarding, your dog will feel right at home! Dogs are welcome on the furniture unless you prefer otherwise, following your training guidelines. I provide potty breaks every 2–4 hours and extra walks for energetic pups to burn off energy. Bedtime is at 8 PM, with the last walk of the day to help your dog settle in comfortably.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life of all sizes. Very patient and friendly with all fur babies. In our home they are apart of my family. I am currently a stay at home wife so my schedule is very flexible and I am very happy to make appointments to make sure they get the attention your fur babies deserve! I have experience with dogs beings off leashes trained as well as the ones that constantly need leashes so they don’t get into trouble. Playing in the yard or just butt scratches are a staple!

I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to provide the best care to your fur babies! During overnight visits, I will provide a comfortable and nurturing environment for your dog. I understand that each dog has unique needs, so I will maintain their regular routines as closely as possible. This includes feeding them according to their usual schedule, ensuring they have fresh water, and administering any necessary medication. I will also spend quality time engaging them in play sessions, going for walks, and providing plenty of love and attention. Additionally, I will make sure they have a cozy sleeping space and maintain a secure and safe environment throughout the night. For drop-in visits, I will prioritize the well-being and happiness of your dog. I will check in on them at the scheduled times and provide necessary care. This may include feeding them, refreshing their water bowl, taking them for a short walk, or engaging in playtime. I will also ensure that their surroundings are tidy and clean up any messes that may occur. Communication is important, so I will keep you updated with messages and pictures during each visit, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

I bring patience, kindness, and attention to their routine, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Caring for my dog, Winston, is already part of my daily routine. I plan pet visits around my other commitments so I can give each pet dedicated time for walks, meals, play, and companionship. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and your instructions for feeding, walks, and care. I take time to understand their personality, comfort level, and any special needs. I’ll respect your home and keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected while you’re away.

About: My name is Maria and I live in a dog friendly apartment complex close to the University of Texas at San Antonio. My apartment is on the 3rd floor with a fully gated porch. My apartment has one bedroom and they can sleep with me if they prefer. Due to the size of my apartment I am only available to host small and medium sized dogs. I grew up with dogs and have had a beagle, Maltese, poodle, and retriever over my lifetime, all of which were family dogs. I currently do not have a dog, and prefer to only host one at a time (unless you have two, I'd be happy to host them together to avoid separation). I am currently a senior at UTSA and I'm studying Early Childhood Education and work within 5 minutes of my apartment. As I usually go home for lunches, I would be happy to give your dog a mid afternoon walk during that time in addition to an evening or morning walk- or all of the above!

About: I have experience with many breeds of dogs and am comfortable with both smaller and larger dogs. Your pet’a safety and enjoyment is the utmost priority. I know it requires a lot of trust to allow someone to watch your pet, so I want to ensure that is a good experience for all parties :) I am done with my full-time job at 2 pm every day, so I would love to help your fur babies during the day if you may be busy with work or life during the week. Weekend mornings I am also open if you are needing walks during this time :) I will treat your pet as if it is my own. Although, I will not be having pets at my place, if I need to come to yours, please be reassured they will be in great hands!

About: I’ve spent the past 5 years caring for pets and house sitting, offering attentive and dependable support while owners are away.

You can trust that your home and companions will be well cared for. With my mobile massage business, I have the privilege to set my own hours, which gives me the flexibility to reliably care for your pets and home.

I’ve cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and medical needs—from playful puppies to senior cats requiring daily medication. My background in veterinary care means your pet will be in knowledgeable, compassionate hands whether you’re away for a weekend or an extended trip. I treat every pet like my own and pride myself on providing safe, stress-free, and loving care. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I live in Hempstead, TX. I work in Waller, TX - working 4 days per week with hour lunch break from 12:00pm- 1:00pm daily. This makes it easy for me to make mid day check ins or potty breaks! I have owned dogs and cats my entire life- through my own pets, fostering, rescuing, rehabbing, or gentling/ training. I am very in tune with behavioral cues and strive to fit each pet’s individual needs.

About: I have my own goldendoodle so I know what it takes to understand a dog and provide its basic needs. Your dog will get the best exercise with me because I love the outdoors and being outside. I am a friendly person and will treat every dog as if were my own because I understand the role they play in families. Since getting my own pup I am more aware of how to care for dogs and what it truly takes! I’m currently working a full time job but available before and after work. I am also available weekends and most holidays if you are planning a trip. I have a fenced yard and will crate your dog if needed. I am also very detail oriented so I will make sure whatever needs to happen gets done!

“I do not have enough good things to say regarding the outstanding job Michael did taking care of my GSP, Ruger. He is a very high strung, routine oriented dog that does not like change. Michael followed my notes and training commands, took charge and the visit went smoothly. You could immediately discern Michel’s knowledge, experience and expertise working with dogs.”
