About: I’ve been pet sitting for a couple of years and have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with puppies as well as senior dogs who may be hard of hearing or losing their sight, and I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable. During visits I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I aim to follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel relaxed while their owners are away. My goal is to provide dependable, caring service so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I am a fairly new stay at home mom so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your pets!

I plan longer walks or extra play sessions during calm times, making sure both pets and family stay comfortable and cared-for throughout the week. While caring for your pets in your home, I follow the routines and instructions provided by you to ensure consistency and comfort. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, letting dogs outside for potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, offering playtime or walks, and giving lots of attention and reassurance.

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats and have always considered them part of the family. I’ve cared for medium-sized dogs like beagles and cocker spaniels, as well as larger breeds like huskies and German shepherds. I’m also a big cat lover—I currently live with three of them! As an experienced pet owner, I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, brushing, and bathing pets. I’m also able to administer medication if needed. I’m happy to care for other pets like fish or birds, and I can bring in your mail or water your plants while you’re away. I have two children who also adore animals. Sometimes they enjoy coming along with me to walk or feed pets, but only with your permission. If you prefer I come alone, I will absolutely respect that. I work full-time in education, so I have all-day availability during the summer and school holiday breaks. During the school year, I’m available after 3:30 p.m. on weekdays and all day on weekends to care for your furry friends. I’m happy to be flexible when I can—just reach out and we’ll see what works! I treat every animal I care for with love, patience, and respect. Pets are truly a gift, and I will always do my best to make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I appreciate clear instructions and am always happy to send updates and photos so you feel connected and reassured while your pet is in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of my chocolate lab along with the help of my parents, albeit we have had some issues just as every pet parent we still manage to get through everything and have a great time! It’s part time and my own hours so i can manage to make things work freely with me personally, that make things a lot easier for me as well considering I am tackling college! At my house we have a fence that keeps our dog in or we let him stay inside. It all depends on what the dog feels more comfortable with and I’m more than willing to help accommodate them.

Mansfield, TX, 76063

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from toy poodles and pugs to larger breeds like Labs, Boxers, and Great Danes. I currently have two dogs of my own, a Black Lab and a Black Mouth Cur, so I’m very familiar with maintaining routines, energy levels, and providing consistent care. I’ve also had experience in more high-responsibility environments, including helping care for multiple dogs at once, sometimes up to 10, ranging from newborn puppies to senior dogs. This included feeding schedules, monitoring behavior, keeping dogs separated when needed, and making sure each dog received proper attention and care. Because of this, I’m very comfortable with: high-energy dogs and active breeds, puppies and more demanding care routines, multi-dog households, and reading dog behavior and adjusting care accordingly. What really sets me apart is that I’m calm, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, as I already care for my own dogs and structure my day around their needs. I am available Monday through Saturday with a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and maintain each pet’s normal routine. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight stays while making sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I do not host other dogs in my home since I have dogs of my own. Instead, I focus on providing care in the client’s home or within the pet’s familiar environment, where they feel most comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while maintaining a calm and consistent environment. I am also comfortable transporting pets for walks, outings, or appointments if needed, and I always prioritize safety, secure handling, and clear communication with owners. My goal is to make sure each pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their owner is away.

About: I’m not just a sitter—I live the pet life every day. Between my three dogs, a pig, and a few ducks, I’m used to energy, mess, and all the personality that comes with it. Big dogs, little dogs, sweet pups, stubborn ones—I’ve handled them all. I’ve got six acres for safe running and exploring, plus plenty of time for cuddles when it’s calm. I’ll keep you updated honestly, because I know how it feels to wonder what your pet’s up to. Around here, your dog’s not just watched—they’re part of the crew. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. With dogs of my own, I’m outside and active multiple times a day, so adding your pup into the mix is natural. I work flexible hours and spend most of my time at home, which means I can give plenty of attention, exercise, and check-ins without rushing Caring for pets in my home is simple. If i go outside , we all go outside. If I come inside we all come inside. We all eat breakfast snacks and dinner at the same time. This isn’t something that’s inconvenient or difficult to us. This is our life on the farm.

Corsicana, TX, 75110

About: I’ve owned a Labrador for 17 years and have been taking care of dogs the last 8 years. I’ve been entrusted to walk, feed, play, & groom pets of friends and neighbors, and Lola got along with all of them. Keeping them on a routine was fine. I was able to teach Lola many commands using verbal and hand gestures. Discipline and routine is something I enforce so that the pups don’t get restless energy with new changes.❤️ Lola has recently passed away, so my availability has opened much more. I am a personal chef and build my own schedule. I recently moved back to Corsicana area and am happy to meet new pets & clients. I make sure to be on time and keeping the dog in routine and discipline that has been established by you and yours. I can crate your pet. I can cuddle with them too! I’m a super affectionate care taker.
