House Sitting in Ottine

About: Hello all pet parents! I am new to Rover. I've recently relocated to Luling, TX. I am looking for small gigs like taking care of furry friends because pets are my life, as I'm sure they are yours too! Most of my professional and personal experiences with pets have been with dogs and cats, to include feedings, scheduled walks and playtimes, administering medications, bathing, nail trims, and just plain ol' cuddling. I am big on SAFETY as it is the most important thing when your pet is away from you or in someone else's care. I understand different breeds may need different types of attention, especially when factoring in age and certain health conditions. Please allow me a chance to meet your pup (or cat) and help you out occasionally! Cheers! (Smaller critters welcome, we all need a little checking on!) I’m currently a stay at home pet mom while I attend online classes to become an educator, which is self paced. It is very easy for me to balance your pets needs with my own! I may allow overnight boarding from time to time in my own home, I will keep my calendar open for that accordingly. I can take your pets outside to favored parks or areas, or care for them in your own home. I do not wish to stay overnight in your home, but may be available for extended hours.

“Victoria was great with both of our pups. Our boy pup can be a little anxious but he seemed very comfortable the whole day. They both got lots of attention, love, and plenty of outside time. She followed the instructions we left and was very kind. Thank you again victoria!”

“Michelle is the kind of pet sitter you don’t think twice about booking. She knows exactly what she’s doing, she’s incredibly thorough, and my babies absolutely adore her. If she’s available when I need someone, it’s a done deal—she’s my first call every single time.”

“We were so nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger. Epiphany was so professional and came and met our dog beforehand to calm our nerves. She came into our house and immediately sat on the floor, loving on our dog. She was fantastic. Our dog had a small bruise on his ear. She was so attentive it was monumentally better when we returned. She was flexible, calm, attentive and professional. Your pets will be in great hands!!!”

“Kate was absolutely amazing and exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment we left, she stayed in constant communication with daily updates, pictures, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She took incredible care of both of my dogs, Laney and Lola. Laney is young and energetic, while Lola is a senior dog with different needs, and Kate was wonderful with both of them. It was obvious she has experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Knowing they were both happy, safe, and well cared for allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my trip. She didn’t just take care of the dogs—she took care of my home as well. She brought in packages, checked the mail, took out the trash, and left the house cleaner and more organized than when she arrived. When we got home, she had even left a detailed handwritten summary of the entire stay, which was incredibly thoughtful and completely unexpected. What really stood out to me was that even after her scheduled paid time had ended, she came back one last time to check on Laney and Lola because we weren’t getting home until later that evening. She absolutely did not have to do that, but it shows the kind of person she is and how much she genuinely cared about the dogs. If you’re considering booking Kate, don’t hesitate. She is professional, kind, reliable, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a pet sitter, and I fully intend to book her again. Hopefully she will be Laney and Lola’s sitter for many years to come.”

About: I am a nature lover! I enjoy taking my dog, Rosemary, on exciting hikes and engaging adventures. We love visiting the river, the dog park, many nature trails around town, and quality play time at home. I also love cuddling up with my cat, Bee. I have taken care of my own animals my entire life. From dogs & cats to birds to snakes, the list of animals I’ve had under my care goes on. Many of my pets have required medicine in their old age, so I am very comfortable administering medicine to an animal. I have dog-sat as well as house-sat on multiple occasions. One thing unique to me is my want for the animals to have as much freedom as possible. I work from home and decide my own schedule so I have a lot of flexibility in how I want to shape my day. This makes it so convenient for taking care of fur babies! We have a fenced yard that is perfect for a short zoomie sesh! Plus we have a gated dog park in our community that we frequent.

About: I just recently dog sat at a family friends house for a weekend, and I played with her, went outside with her and just made sure she felt loved. She also loves to cuddle, so we cuddled on the couch together. I have open availability right now, as I am a recent college graduate and will have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pet(s)! I am able to play with your pet, and I can give them their food or medication they may need. I can also take them on walks within the area to give them some exercise!

“I was a bit worried as I have had a previous bad expirence with a sitter ,who a friend said was good When Willow and I met Tamara we both like her instantly. After talking a bit about Willows care she brought in her "in Training" Service Dog Smokey. I never worried while I was gone. When I got home I could tell that Willow had a great weekend. I will definitely use her again. She is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to pass on her information.”

“Eva is truly the best! She sent so many photos while we were gone--we got more than four photos per day. They were each really cute photos too--I'm considering posting some on my instagram! This was wonderful and helped me when I missed my animals while traveling. She was very responsive to all of my messages, and followed all my care instructions. Eva is also thoughtful. She left our home spotless. I felt at ease in her presence and I know my dogs felt the same way. Highly recommend Eva to anyone looking for a dog sitter!!!”

About: I have had a few dogs from friends and families that I have taken care of over the years for free. I have my own dog that I have had since he was a puppy that is very well trained would love to meet other dogs and experience new fur friends. I work at home and I take breaks very very often. I go to my backyard and even parks just to walk. I would love to take them for walks as well. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs go out often. Morning, Afternoon, and 2 times in the evening. Just to make sure dogs use the bathroom and get that energy out before they fall asleep.
