Pet Sitting New Deal

About: I grew up training and showing dogs! I've also been a trusted volunteer dog walker/foster parent for local humane societies in the past, taking care of dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages! My family frequently fostered litters of puppies as young as 6 weeks. I also have plenty of experience with seniors and the specific health problems that come with that, after loving my cocker spaniels right up to the end. Life doesn't allow me to have a dog of my own at the moment, so I'll jump on any chance for some pupper love! I daylight as a professional wildlife biologist, but I am currently between jobs and so have all the time in the world to give your four-legged companions! My schedule is wide open. Safety is, of course, the highest priority, and reading animal body language is the key to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for your pet and avoiding stressful situations. This is a skill I feel very confident with after so many years of varied pet care. Second to safety is fun! Whether that looks like a brisk walk, a casual stroll, a laser pointer, a game of fetch, or just getting some relaxed quality time in is entirely up to your pet. Regardless, I'm happy to fulfill their needs.

I enjoy spending time with animals and can work pet care into my routine around my class schedule. have two fur babies of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention.

About: Hello I’m Ashton! I grew up in Central Texas and throughout my life I have had several pups all the way from a Great Dane named Samson to a Miniature Schnauzer named Roxi. One of my babies just left this world and his name was Dakota he was 14 and the most handsome old man. I now have a 8 year old Great Dane/ English Mastiff named Bronson. I definitely would love to watch over your pup and get to make your pups happy while you are away! If your dog needs a little more care just call or text me and I’ll do everything I can to meet your pups needs. I look forward to meeting your fur baby.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats ever since I was little and I’ve always had a love for all animals! I have always pet sat for all of our family friends and neighbors since I can remember. I’m currently attending classes at Tech to go to vet school! I love spending time with animals and my roommate and I have 2 dogs, 2 ferrets, and a cat! I love being able to spend time with animals in any type of way and provide all needed goodies and good times for them to experience!

About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including my own pets and those of family friends while they are out of town. I love animals and understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I am dependable, patient, and dedicated to treating every pet like my own! Pet care fits into my week well as I have the time to stop by during lunch and the late afternoon to walk, feed, or take care of a pet especially on weekends. I feed my pets, walk them, play and spend time with them, and I protect them at all costs no matter what. I make sure to spend time with them daily as they are a part of the family.

About: I’ve been watching animals for ~8 years now, but I’ve had my own animals since birth! I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, cows, chickens, goats, fish, and more. Family friends and neighbors rely on me for help with their animals. I work a full time job, but am available in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and for overnights! I will always work to make time for your animals! I do drop ins and stay with pets frequently in other peoples home. I am consistent with my care and love to meet new animals.

About: I have always had some type of pet ever since I was little, whether that be dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, you name it! I love animals and have always been entrusted to be the main caretaker of all my family pets and have learned all different tips and tricks to make sure every animal is loved and cared for while their fur parents are away. I worked in the UC Davis Animal Science Department as a student resident, which meant I lived in a barn with animals 24/7! I have been taught by UC Davis veterinarians how to administer treatments and medicines, and have always been the first to call from my friends who need someone to take care of their pets while they are away. I am comfortable with active dogs, puppies, couch potatoes, or anything that just needs a cuddle every now and then. I have a lot of experience with bully breeds and high-maintenance coats, especially bulldogs, I've had 3 as family dogs! I just love dogs and cats and can assure you that I will make sure your loved one gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. I work with livestock animals and have raised sheep, goats, and cattle for about 7 years now. I am comfortable with horses and any other large animals you may have. I can also provide a helping hand around a ranch or farm if needed and trained to work in all different conditions. If you have a flock of chickens that need to get fed, pens to be mucked while you are away, or any small chores I would love to discuss different rates to ensure that all your animals are cared for! I am a current grad student at Tech and a massive animal lover and have a relatively flexible schedule to fit your needs. I am available most mornings and all evenings, and since I am from California, I usually stay around Lubbock for most major holidays. I am willing to bring your furry friends to my home or house sit! I am also willing to provide transportation to dog parks if needed. While I am at your home, however, I ask that I have access to internet access for overnight stays. Other than that, I am very flexible in terms of living arrangements, I have experience with crate training if that is what your family practices. I am a vigilant, responsible individual who will provide the best of care for your family.

About: Hi! My name is Katia, I am new to the rover app:)caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for almost a decade. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 18, and now at 27, I have years of experience understanding the different personalities, routines, and needs that make every dog unique. I’m also a proud dog mom to Apollo, my German Shepherd who has been by my side since high school, and Sierra, my sweet mixed breed rescue. Rescuing Sierra has made me especially passionate about giving dogs a safe, patient, and loving environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care currently fits very easily into my daily and weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m currently between jobs, so I’m able to dedicate a significant amount of time and attention to caring for my clients’ pets. This allows me to be flexible with drop-ins, walks, house sitting, and different schedules depending on each pet’s needs. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, especially when they are in their own home. Since my dogs do not do well around unfamiliar animals, I will provide care exclusively in my client’s home, which also allows your pet to stay in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and preferences so I can keep their care as consistent as possible. I’m very attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, medications if needed, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe.

About: I have been pet sitting for about 2 years, but it is my favorite side job! I love animals of all kinds and sizes and have been trusted to stay in homes to take care of people’s beloved family members, and their home. I’m currently an elementary school teacher at Wolffarth Elementary in North Lubbock. Depending on what area I am in, I will usually leave with enough time to get to work by 7am. I cannot leave for lunch as I sadly only have 30 minutes, but I am done by 4 every day. This makes it easy to spend the evening with them and I won’t have different hours every day - routine is great for pets! I also share holidays with students so I am pretty available for sitting jobs at those times. While my apartment is a 1 bedroom, it is cozy and great for lower energy dogs. I have plenty of space for them to lay out and they stay in the air conditioning all day. For more active pets, I live right next to a middle school with a paved track for walking, and I am close to a park for dogs who love to run and play fetch!

“Savannah is so sweet, accommodating and communicates very well! Will absolutely be using her again in the future. Our 3 furry critters loved her and so did we!”

I have two XXL cages and a double fenced yard. I have experience in dog training in walking, trail running, hiking, and other activities like fetching. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have three puppers of my own - a brown Labrador Retriever mix, German Shepard, and a black golden retriever mix puppy who are full of energy. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable!
