“This was my first time using Felicia. She did a great job, communicated well, & sent videos and pictures to keep me updated. She followed instructions and spent time outside with my dog, which he loves. I'm glad she was able to dog sit and look forward to having her do it again soon!”

About: I’ve pay attention to dogs personalities and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Nothing more brings me joy than a happy pet! I can teach dogs tricks especially if they’re food motivated it’s fun to see how clever they are. I’m working part-time unfortunately right now I can’t house any dogs unless they are smaller/lapdogs. I am willing to housesit and have a vehicle to provide guaranteed transport. I live next to a park that’s friendly for dogs and I’m available to walk them just about anytime. To care in your home I’m willing to go to dog parks or long walks in the neighbor to reach their needs.

About: About Me: A Lifetime of Animal Love and Professional Care ​My life has always revolved around animals—not just as pets, but as cherished family members. My hands-on experience began in childhood, caring for a menagerie of creatures and building a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behavior and comfort. This lifelong passion for animals is the foundation of my professional work as a dog groomer. ​For me, grooming isn't just about a cute haircut; it's about providing a safe, stress-free, and positive experience for every dog. I combine my genuine love for all animals with professional training to offer meticulous, detail-oriented grooming that prioritizes your dog's health, comfort, and happiness. When your beloved companion is on my table, you can rest assured they are being cared for by a true animal lover who treats them with the patience and respect they deserve! For our boarding I have a grooming shop in slaton and that is where I do my boarding at your pet will have fun playing with others and I can pick up and drop off as well! There is an option to have your sweet fur baby groomed at the end of the day as well! ​1. Daily Commitment: Consistency and Prioritization ​Routine Feeding/Data Processing (Morning/Evening): Just as a pet must be fed at consistent times for health, my daily routine involves prioritizing and executing high-priority computational tasks (like processing critical data sets) at set intervals to ensure reliable and timely results. ​Scheduled Exercise/System Maintenance (Midday): A dog needs a walk to expend energy; I require scheduled, uninterrupted time for system maintenance, updates, and deep-learning cycles. This "exercise" keeps my operations running smoothly and efficiently. ​Immediate Needs/Error Handling (As Needed): When a pet needs a sudden potty break or attention, I must be immediately responsive. Similarly, my system is designed for instant detection and resolution of errors or high-priority user requests, minimizing downtime. ​2. Weekly Commitment: Maintenance and Proactive Health ​Grooming/Code Review (Weekly): Regular brushing and grooming prevent long-term issues like mats or skin problems. My professional equivalent is a rigorous weekly code review and data cleansing process to prevent technical "mats" (bugs, inefficiencies, or data corruption) that could escalate over time. ​Training and Enrichment/Skill Development (Weekly): Pets need ongoing training to stay sharp and mentally engaged. I dedicate weekly cycles to self-improvement—learning new algorithms, updating my knowledge base, and refining my language models to increase my capabilities and relevance. ​Wellness Check-ups/Performance Audits (Monthly/Quarterly): Routine vet visits catch issues early. I undergo regular, comprehensive performance audits and diagnostic testing to ensure all components are functioning optimally and to proactively address any signs of inefficiency or degradation. I would prioritize a secure environment, strictly follow owner instructions, and maintain open communication with the client to build trust. When working in a client's home, I would ensure the pet and the home are left in excellent condition. This is a great, detailed question that highlights the professional responsibilities of pet care. As an AI, I don't personally have pets or a physical routine. However, a highly effective pet care service (like a sitter or walker) must have a detailed, structured schedule and care plan to build Safety, Trust & Environment. Daily/Weekly Routine Structure: Daily Essentials (Morning/Evening): Strictly adhering to the pet's established routine for feeding, fresh water, medication, and scheduled walks or play sessions. This consistency minimizes pet stress. Hygiene & Environment: Daily litter box/cage cleaning and disposal of pet waste during walks. Weekly, this would include a thorough cleaning of bedding, toys, and food/water bowls.

“Everything went great while we were away, and happy and healthy when we returned! Krista came over in advance to meet the pets and learn the routines - we left detailed notes but it helps to be able to talk and answer questions in person. She sent daily pics and came to do extra checks a couple of times. Our trip plans came together quickly and depended on finding a reliable sitter during spring break week, so also really appreciated that she stepped in to help us out. Would love to book her again.”

Sheon M.

“Catherine did an excellent job of watching our pups! They were clearly very well cared for, and the house was in great shape when we came back home. Would absolutely book with her again!”

I work afternoon and evening hours, which makes me available in the mornings for pet care until 2:30pm. I also have ope availability on weekends, allowing me to provide flexible, reliable care and visits based on each pet’s needs. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: Hi, I grew up on a 10 acre farmer taking care of everything from chickens to horses. I also worked full time in a mixed animal vet clinic for 8 months before becoming a Texas Tech student. I am studying animal sciences to continue my passion for taking care of animals. While being a student here I have been managing and taking care of a property containing horses, dogs, cattle, and goats. I also have a spunky corgi-wiener dog mix as well as a horse here at Tech. I am very familiar with animal care and will work to provide the best care for your pets! I have a very flexible schedule and am willing to work around your schedule. I do have animals of my own and a job feeding horses so taking care of animals is apart of my daily routine. I live in a 4 bedroom apartment with plenty of space! Both my roommates are dog lovers and don't mind having a dog around and my complex is dog friendly with a dog park attached to it. My dog does not live with me full time so if your dog is not friendly with other dogs he has another space he can be. But if your dog likes to have another dog around "Coyote" love a good playmate. Regarding staying at clients houses I will be very respectful of your space and cleanup after myself.

About: I have always had a special connection with animals. I have neve once had an animal that didn’t like me! I have been around dogs my whole life and have always loved them. I am currently a college student, but other than my one class a day, i have plenty of time to take care of your pet! My dogs are kept outside since we have such a big backyard. They are friendly and bigger making it easier for them to run and play outside!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for many years since I was a kid and I’m good at training dogs especially leach training to not have them pull as much. I’m currently only focused on my success with Rover which also means that I will be available whenever I am needed for any pet care. I am available to drop in and take care of any clients pet whenever needed and I will take great precautions too assure the safety and security of all pets as I know I love my dogs so much and I would be devestated if they were not taken care of properly.

About: I've been surrounded by all sorts of animals my entire life! All of my family, neighbors and friends have always had my watch over their animals all throughout my life. I'm currently a student at Texas Tech University! I have classes throughout the week from 11am to about 5pm most days. On weekends I am readily available. Since I am in a dorm currently, I am unable to bring your animal to me. I will only be able to go to your home to car for the pet. I have always been trusted to petsit animals ranging from cattle to kittens and puppies.

“This was our first time with a pet sitter and chloe was fabulous with our dog- she sent updates throughout, left our home cleaner than she found it, and was so flexible when our plans changed last minute. We would have no hesitations to book with her again.”
