Dog Sitting in Plain City

“I can't say enough good things about Samantha! She was absolutely incredible with my two kitties. Samantha arrived at reasonable times twice a day to feed them while I was away, and her attention to detail was impressive. She listened to all my instructions carefully, ensuring my fur babies were well taken care of. It was clear that the kitties loved her! I would give her a 10/10 and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a cat/pet sitter!”

“Nicole was very easy to work with and accommodating for some last minute changes. Updates and pictures were greatly appreciated. Will use her again anytime we are out of town!”

“Erin was great! She did a great job taking care of my extremely shy and cautious cat Honey and providing lots of updates. Thank you Erin!!”

About: I grew up in a family full of pet lovers and have been taking care of animals from a young age. I will play, snuggle and meet all of your pets needs while you are away. I will give your pet all the love and care they deserve! I currently work from home full time but have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be accommodating to different schedule. I am also free in the evenings and most weekends. I can feed, walk, crate, play and hangout with your pet as needed. I’m not afraid to clean up any messes or accidents while I am there either.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my years of hands-on experience caring for pets in a home setting. I've been pet-sitting since high school, providing not just daily walks and care, but also overnight stays and home care, ensuring both pets and their homes are well looked after. I’m experienced in caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need extra playtime to senior dogs who require gentle care and patience. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make sure to follow their schedule closely—whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or just giving them extra love and attention while their owners are away. Beyond pet care, I also respect and maintain the home by keeping it clean and secure, so clients can travel with peace of mind. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so pet parents always feel connected. My goal is to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence, and that you return to a happy, stress-free home! Now that I’ve graduated, I have a more flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and energy to provide reliable, attentive pet care. I’m able to accommodate a wide range of needs, from midday check-ins to extended overnight stays. I follow your pet's usual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime to minimize stress while you're away. I make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise, whether that's a daily long walk or a short potty break. I spend quality time with your pet, giving them affection, playtime, and attention to prevent loneliness. For home care, I keep the house tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and ensure everything stays secure while you're away. I send daily updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and cared for.

“Olivia was great. Very polite and kind and she took great care of Oreo. I will definitely ask her again.”

“Katarina did another fantastic job! If I had not missed the last review window (app challenged), she would have another 5-star review! Katarina plays with the youngest of three and is very gentle and attentive with the elders during drop-in visits. She's very punctual and let's us know when she's running a few minutes late or needs to be a little early. Highly recommended!!”

About: I’ve dog-sat (and house-sat) for friends for a while, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing happy dogs! I love taking them for long walks or runs, spending the day playing with them, and of course giving them plenty of hugs and pets! ❤️🐶 I’m currently working full-time, so during the week I’m available to go on short walks during lunch and make sure your dog is fed and can use the bathroom. I can spend time with them in the evenings as well, and I’m also available for house sitting to keep them company while you’re away! I don’t have any pets of my own at home, but I’ve had plenty of experience caring for pets of friends and family members. I like taking them for walks through neighborhoods or parks where they can meet other dogs or people and see new places!

“Jennifer took phenomenal care of my fur baby Mae-Ling! She was thorough and thoughtful with all of her updates and photos. It was so great to know Mae-Ling was safe and in great hands 🐈‍⬛💗 I will absolutely have Jennifer take care of her again in the future!”

“Channing has been absolutely amazing with our lil guy. Honestly, I don’t know where to start. She’s friendly, respectful, prompt and sends the cutest photo updates and messages. We needed to extend our booking for an additional day and without hesitation she accepted. I would use Channing’s services a hundred times over again! If you want a sitter that you can rely on, while feeling comfortable taking care of your fur baby, I would highly recommend Channing!”

Maria M.

“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”

“Alda was great with Harpo and went above and beyond expectations. Remembered things, i forgot to even ask her on our way out of town with toddlers. Awesome animal lover. Thanks again and will look to use again!!”

David M.

“Beth took the time to meet with us and our shy & fearful (formerly abused) pup. She was so patient with him and made us feel comfortable being gone for the weekend. We are so grateful for her patience and willingness to work with our challenging pup! Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have experience with medically needy pets to include hypothyroid, cancer, hospice/palliative care, mobility issues, incontinence, spinal stenosis, kidney care, heart disease, hyper/hypothyroid, cushings, and senior pet needs. I'm laid back and don't get too worried about the small stuff like counter surfing (I'll set a boundary and use positive reinforcement though!) or an accident here and there. I issue a questionnaire and conduct a meet n greet in your home at least one week prior to our scheduled sitting session(s). This is to make sure everyone is on the same page and we are a good fit (no additional charge). You will be asked to give specific daily instructions for any needs your pets may have. I may ask you to label and bag medications with instructions for use, or if your dog is on special food to pre-bag the kibble or give me a measuring cup for the amount to be given (no one wants to come home to a pudgy pet!). I will send photos of your pets and update you frequently, but you can enjoy your trip without hesitation that they are happy, cared for, and I'm on top of it! I work from home, or your home in this case. I am online in meetings during this time so I do require wifi that will allow me to work while staying at your home. I schedule breaks for your pets to be let out and to be played with. While I do give my time and attention to your pets and they are a priority, I may leave the house for brief periods to take care of my own needs for groceries, exercise, etc. You must be comfortable with a sitter who will need to periodically (not every day or all the time) leave the house and have their own freedom to go out to dinner or pick up medicine, etc. If you need a person who is home 24/7 and will never leave your dog home, I am not the person for your pet. I pay attention to all the details and administer a pre-registration questionnaire which must be filled out before the meet and greet. By day, I am a clinical social worker and I have been background checked, finger printed, and work with vulnerable populations every day. I've never even stolen a piece of gum, though I request that you NOT leave valuables or large sums of money in your home when you are not. I do NOT and will NEVER use any form of physical punishment or correction with your pet, you can be assured that my boundaries are verbal and with positive reinforcement. Your home environment must be clean (I'm not talking white-glove, but reasonably sanitary) and safe for humans and pets. I will clean litter boxes, administer medications, apply diapers (for elderly or incontinent), change out pee pads, utilize crates (if requested) per your exact instructions. I will also water plants and pick up poo, gather mail, etc. while you are out of town.

About: I grew up in a household full of pets - cats, dogs, hamsters, hermit crabs, bunnies - and love animals. I’ve trained two of my dogs (both Australian shepherds) and loved every minute of it! I would love to fit in walks or house sit after work to help me get outside and enjoy some exercise with a furry friend. I have a 1 year old puppy, who I adore more than anyone. Before I got her, I said I wouldn’t spoil her like she was my child. I was wrong. She is, and she deserves everything in the world

About: I'm a former college soccer athlete, so I love staying active and am always ready for physical work. I spent a year working and a year volunteering with Austin Boxer Rescue, and really enjoy walking dogs and dog sitting. My family has also fostered and found loving homes for seven dogs, so I'm very comfortable caring for animals of all kinds. Currently saving up for a year of service with AmeriCorps in Columbus, Ohio. I’ll be in Waco until June 30th and am looking for opportunities to earn some extra money during that time. I currently only have one dog at home and am not the only person in the household, so it's not a time-consuming practice to care for her.

“Sydney is great! She is punctual, offered to do a meet and greet ahead of our scheduled time and is great with both my 4yo and 2 month old puppy!”

Molly K.

“Paula was a very good sitter. She loved my pup and helped give him some exercise and food! She took great pics and was willing be flexible with her time!”

About: I’ve taken care of many of my friend’s and family’s pets and have always gotten along with all of them so well! I would absolutely love to take care of your bestfriend :) I’m currently in college and am out of school for the Summer! I would love to have a side job that I would enjoy to do in beautiful weather! I do not have any pets, although I wish I did! I would make sure to provide your pets with everything they may need while you’re not home!
