House Sitting in Odem

About: Hello, I have been taking care of 5 dogs, many cats, a tortoise, leopard gecko, and hermit crabs since I can remember and now my sons ages 10 & 9 years who are homeschooled want to help take care of other pets. We love the aquarium and the Victoria Zoo and learning how to help others around us. I work remotely from home while homeschooling my boys and we have a very flexible schedule. The only day and times we are unavailable are: Sunday from 9 am-2 pm for church. We have 2 acres with a fence along the front yard and 3 mix breed dogs outside and 2 pug puppies inside who are crate trained.

“Thank you so much Tisha and Wayne for coming to our house in San Antonio to stay while we were on vacation. You took great care of our girls as you always do. We are so glad you were willing to come to our house to watch the dogs. We really appreciate the fact that the girls could stay in their own place and have a lot of fun playing with their buddies too. Tisha and Wayne are such great people and we felt completely comfortable having them stay in our home while we were away. (this is the first time anyone has ever stayed at our house without us being there too.) We hope we can do this again in the future!! Love you both!”

About: I’ve taken care of many pets and I love what I do. Meeting new animals and being able to give a sense of peace to the owners while they are away is fulfilling. I like helping anyway that I can. I work at a Vet clinic so I see animals every day already so spending time with more animals is an added bonus. I work at a veterinary clinic full time. I work 10 hour shifts 4 times a week. Always off on Sundays. Rotate shifts on Saturdays. As long as you’re comfortable with my hours then I’ll make the pet sitting experience fun and enjoyable. I slowly approach the animals that are new to me to give them time to get used to me before they meet me. I like to gain a bonding experience by either going out for a walk with them or playing with a favorite toy of theirs to gain respect.

About: We’ve taken care of all different animals from Guinea pigs to bulldogs to Yorkies to German Shepards you name it. I’ve assisted in the birth of 3 pups and raised many animals from 3months till death. I raised and cared till death a dog with seizures so have plenty of experience and understanding with any special needs a pet may require. We commonly work on obedience training through mental stimulation games with our son(English bulldog). Anything your pet needs we can proved! We love snuggles on the couch on a lazy day and running circles in the park on a sunny or rainy (a little mud never hurt). Bottom line we’d love to meet our next furry friend! We are available every day of the week from 2pm on. Available every Saturday and Sunday for full 24 hours. If I am not available my husband will be! Let us know what works for you! *If late pick up is needed an additional fee will be needed to compensate for time. * If any animal causes damage to our home we kind ask that you compensate for damages made. My spouse and I have lived with pets our entire lives. We have a house with a fenced yard as well as 2 fur babies of our own to keep yours company. We commonly let them roam free about the house during the day and a kennel at night. We are willing to give meds, work on potty training, or any other milestone your baby is at in their lives!

“Just moved to the area for work and Arden was our hero when we needed someone for nine days! She took such incredible care of our pup and made us feel completely safe with me being new to this area and not knowing anyone. We came back from our trip to a happy puppy who played and was well loved during our time away. She will be our go to at all times! Mieka was crazy about her ❤️”

“This was my first time using Lillian. She was on time for our Meet and Greet, sent daily pictures of my fur babies and via these pics I could clearly see they were comfortable in her care. She promptly texted me about concerns and left the house neat and tidy. The house needed to be swept/swiffered given the house bunny is in a shed cycle but perhaps I didn’t make that expectation clear.”

About: Since I was a teen I've taken care of my neighbors' dogs and cats every now and then. I've house sat and done drop in visits so I have plenty of experience. I did a birds and small mammals internship at the Waco zoo in summer of 2023 so I have a bit of exotic animal care experience if it is needed. I'm working full time right now but so far the shifts aren't super long so I have time to feed and take out any pets that I need to take care of. I take very good care of any pets I need to. I pay attention to my own, and others. I will love on them, give you updates, and check in with any questions I have so I can provide the best care possible.

“Amazing as always...”

“Jerica was amazing! Our animals loved her and she responded to communications quickly. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you so much Jerica ?”

Jennifer M.

“Regina was so great with our puppy. She was very communicative, sent pictures and videos, and truly cared about our dog’s wellbeing. I would highly recommend her for your pet’s care.”

Carrie C.

“An absolutely wonderful lady that has amazing communication, will definitely be booking with her again. She is kind and patient with the animals and I couldn’t be happier with her service.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup is a playful puppy still learning the ropes or a senior dog needing extra love and patience, I’ve got the experience and heart to meet their unique needs. 🐶 Special Skills: Experienced in basic puppy training, crate acclimation, and potty routines Gentle, attentive care for senior dogs — including medication reminders, slow walks, and extra cuddles Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels Can administer oral medications and special diets Daily updates and photos so you feel connected every step of the way! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a long work trip, you can rest easy knowing your best friend is in caring, capable hands. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! 🐕💛 Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine — not an add-on, but something I genuinely look forward to. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning potty breaks, mid-day walks, or calm evening cuddle time. I plan my schedule to make sure each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and presence they need — especially important for puppies who need structure or senior dogs who need a gentle pace. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. I prioritize their well-being as I would a family member’s, and I’m always tuned in to changes in behavior, mood, or energy that might need a little extra attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. 🐾 In My Home: I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spaces for naps, indoor play, and supervised outdoor time (if applicable). I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets personal attention. I follow your feeding and potty schedule, administer any needed meds, and send daily updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and relaxed. 🐾 In Your Home: I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet. I keep things tidy, stick to your dog’s normal routine — walks, feeding, bedtime rituals — and make sure your pet feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or do other light tasks while you're away. Every pet is different, so I always ask detailed questions before a booking to learn their habits, quirks, and what makes them feel safe and loved.

About: Hello, my name is Hannah. I have been a dog sitter for about five years now I have watched dogs all ages sizes and energy. I own three full-blooded golden retrievers so I am very well knowledgeable on dogs. I have also house set and done other chores around the home while dog sitting. I have a part time job and go to school full time. Pet care fits into my daily routine because it allows me to watch animals and house it while also studying and being able to go to school full-time I truly prefer to keep the animal in their original environment. It’s easier on the dog versus pulling them out of their comfort and moving them to a different environment.

“Julie sent pictures, loved on my pup who can at times be difficult. They went on walks and he seemed very comfortable and happy with her. We will definitely use Julie again.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I would assist my mother with rescuing dogs and cats (even birds!) and spent my summers volunteering at the Humane Society and the Cattery. This followed me to university where I would volunteer at the local animal shelter and walk the dogs and give them some much needed love. As an adult, I am the adoptive mother of three adorable, funny, occasionally headaches and I can’t imagine my life without them. Dogs fill me with so much joy and I’d love to make some busy parents and their puppers feel that joy as well. I am also very experienced in puppy training, administering medication, and assisting our old timers. I currently work 8:00 am to 5:00 pm so my evenings are free to assist my community with getting their fur babies some much needed exercise. Gets me some cardio too! I have a fenced yard in a pleasant neighbourhood. My dogs get along with a majority of newcomers, but always recommend meeting in a controlled environment before chill time.

About: I absolutely love animals so dearly I’m great with young and hyper dogs or cats I am a cat mom to the most beautiful girl I would like to try to do pet care daily or if not than many times a week, I’m always down for going on a walk especially with a fur friend!! If I were to care for pets in my own home,I would make sure we have space to play and I do have a backyard that’s fenced , they will get lots of love:)

“Kyle watched my two dogs and my house while I was gone for a week and did an amazing job. I even ran into an issue and did not have some medication with me that I needed and he did not hesitate to send it to me with overnight shipping. He really saved my vacation by doing that and I will always be grateful. My dogs are like my children and I was very anxious about leaving them for a week but Kyle really put my mind at ease and gave me a lot of updates while we were gone. My dogs were happy when we returned and my house was immaculate. Thank you again Kyle! If I could give him more than five stars I would!”

About: What sets me apart is my six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, combined with formal animal hospital training. My passion began when I got my first puppy, whom I personally trained in potty training and basic commands such as sit, spin, and catch. Over time, I also gained experience managing multiple dogs in a household, learning how to balance different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. During these times, I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, medication administration, and general companionship. I plan my day to prioritize pets’ needs, ensuring they get consistent care, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I currently provide pet care exclusively at my clients' homes because I already have pets at my own residence, and I'm not permitted to bring in more. While at my clients' homes, I tailor my care for their dogs based on their specific preferences. Regular updates on their pets are a priority for me, and I always communicate promptly with clients if I have any questions regarding their pets.

About: I have been taking care of animals full-time through another app for the past three years. I have dozens of reviews I can share from that app. I love animals. I used to have my own cat and dogs when I was younger. I've also lived with people who have had pets. Even some people who had up to four cats and four dogs at a time. However, I promised myself that I wouldn't get my own animal again until I have a house of my own. Until that time, I look forward to giving your dear pets all the attention they deserve. I have many great reviews on the TrustedHousesitters app that I am happy to share with you. I look forward to being able to give you peace of mind about your animals. I know from first-hand experience with watching other people's animals, that pets usually prefer to stay in their home environment while their owners are away. So they will miss you, but this is the next best thing. :) I make my own schedule. I am very flexible. Possibly able to take last-minute requests. Please feel free to let me know what works best for you. The more communication the better. If possible, I prefer to meet you and your pet in person beforehand. To iron out any details and also so your pet will have met me.
