A Safe Stay for your Pup

Pet care experience

Check out our furry adventures on Instagram @PawSquad_TX Note: We are practicing social distancing and mask-wearing until further notice. Meet and Greets will be restricted to the backyard but I am happy to give virtual tours of my home if desired. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have! About this sitter: My name is Ciara and I am a 29 year old animal-lover to the core. I have over 10 years of experience dog sitting pups of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I have been vetted and gone through a background check through Rover. I have experience caring for elderly and special-needs pups and dogs with anxiety. For any new clients, I recommend a complimentary Meet & Greet before booking so you and your pups can meet me, see the space, and make sure I am a good fit for your furbaby. This is also an opportunity to discuss care details more in depth and answer any questions or concerns you may have. I love getting to meet new pups through Rover and offer peace of mind to PAW-rents while you are away. I started dog-sitting through Rover in 2010 while I was at university in Houston, and never stopped! We are a family operation with my partner, David, being helping to taking care of our furry guests. You'll often see us at the dog park or walking in the neighborhood with multiple pups in tow <3 Can't wait to meet you and your pup! -Ciara About the space: Your dog will be well cared for and loved in a safe, dog-friendly environment. My home is across the street from a dog park and trails so there will be plenty of opportunities for your pup to walk, run, and play. The neighborhood is quiet, with spacious sidewalks, and home to other dog-owners. I have two friendly dogs of my own, a 12 y/o male catahoula and an 11 y/o female border collie. Both dogs are fixed, up to date on vaccines, and treated for fleas and ticks. Note: My home is two stories so dogs with arthritis may not be comfortable with stairs.

Ciara was super communicative, and the dogs came home happy and tired. Couldn't ask for anything else!

I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I’m also able to crate your pup if that’s what they are used to. I try to create an environment/routine that is as familiar to them as possible to keep them at ease.

Information Ciara A. would like to know about your pet

It's necessary to know about any special needs your pets may have, ranging from dietary restrictions to behavioral concerns. The more information you can provide, the better able we are to provide the best care for your unique pet. Please provide the following info: - How your dog behaves around other dogs and strangers - Is your dog an indoor dog or an outdoor dog? - How active is your dog? - Who is your dog's vet? - Allergies or dietary restrictions? - History of destructive behavior? - History of reactivity (barking/lunging on leash, guarding food/toys, uncontrollable excitement, etc)

A typical day

Exercise & Activity I usually take my dogs on a daily walk around our neighborhood. On the weekends, I take my dogs to the nearby dog park or to the public park near my house. Occasionally, I will take a pup with me on outings to pet-friendly spaces (I love to enjoy a coffee outside with a dog) or pet-friendly events. Your dogs will have a chance to play and meet new pups. *Please let me know if you prefer for your pet to abstain from going on these field trips. **I haven’t been participating in public events during COVID. Sleeping Arrangement Your pups can sleep in any arrangement that is best for them. I usually try to keep my home as familiar as possible for them to ease their stay. Dogs may sleep in the bedroom, living room, or kenneled depending on owner's preference.
