Dog Sitting in Point Venture

“Christine was an absolute delight to communicate with, and we trust her implicitly with caring for our pet dog and cat, both are senior animals who require medication and special attention. Christine was quick to respond to our inquiries, and left thorough notes for each visit. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs pet care assistance.”

About: I grew up on a farm and always had animals with me, I've taken care of animals my whole. From ducks to dogs!! My life is animals. I'm currently working PT so I have lots of free time after and before work and on weekends I don't work at all! Very open! I love dogs and cats and will care for them if they are or aren't mine! I have rescued many animals and saved them! I am a caring person, i've watched many dogs and cats before, changing water, walks, and following the special requests they give me since all animals are unique.

About: I’ve always taken care of pets since I was about 7 years old! My family has had dogs, cats, birds, all types of lizards, snakes, geckos, tortoises, hamsters, fish, and even farm animals. I love to spend time and make sure everything is well taken care of, so you don’t have to! Feel free to reach out to me at anytime and I will respond as fast as possible!! I can care for your pets at any time of the week! I am a full time student, but i do my work online! So any time of the day is perfect:) I currently live in an apartment, but there is a dog park and plenty of room to walk them by my house! I have plenty of extra leashes, toys, and collars/harnesses, so if one breaks or anything, I can replace it!

About: DOGS WITHOUT LOVE ARE LIKE HUMANS WITHOUT PURPOSE! I absolutely love dogs. I have a thirteen year old miniature Australian Shepard who thinks he is my third child and is treated as such. I am 47 years old and have a rewarding career in plastic/reconstructive surgery, but also realize that caring for fur babies is yet another true passion in which I truly enjoy! Fur babies need lots of love and attention as well as activity through play dates, park time, hiking, walking swimming etc. Additional Services Include: Groomer drop off and pick up, vet visit transportation and attendance, medication administration and bathing are also offered. I am also available for meet and greets preceding scheduled services. I am available on nights, weekends and holidays. I DO NOT board more than one family’s dogs at a time. Therefore, you do not have to worry about safety. It is in the best interest of your fur baby to not be exposed to others in which could result in physical injury and or harm and or contagious illnesses. Rest assured, your fur babies are completely safe with me. Pictures and reports of your fur babies are sent to you on a daily basis! Fur babies should feel loved and cared for in the absence of their owners much like a doggie vaca! An experienced pet sitter that you can get to know, trust and feel comfortable with whom is much like family is a necessity! I work in the medical field and have the ability to adjust my flexible schedule to accommodate my pet clients needs and or requests on a client to client basis. At the present time-I am not offering boarding services in my home. I believe pets feel more comfortable and at ease in their own homes where they are familiar with their surroundings and specific care instructions will vary per client request which is discussed during our meet and greet session.

“Responsive and kind”

“April took care of our two senior dogs for two weeks. When we first met April, she clearly exhibited an understanding that caring for senior dogs necessitates dedication, flexibility, and compassion. She made time each day for cuddles, petting, and simply sitting together. These moments of quiet companionship deepened the bond and reassured both our dogs that they were safe and loved. She certainly had challenges, including changes in appetite, managing their medications and dealing with separation anxiety our dogs experienced. We enjoyed peace of mind during our vacation, confident that our pets were in April's care. She maintained consistent communication through both text messages and photos. Through these communications, we observed our dogs respond with tail wagging and gentle nuzzling. We greatly appreciate our acquaintance with April and intend to involve her in all future boarding arrangements for our pets.”

About: (New to Jonestown, from Houston!) I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals from a very young age. I realize I had a knack for caring for animals and also training animals. I dove into dogs psychology, and just kept learning more about how dogs communicate with each other and the boundaries that dogs set that goes unnoticed by humans and the respect that each dog needs to be given to earn their complete trust I am currently work as a realtor who just also really enjoys spending time out doors and with my dogs. So I decided that why shouldn’t I make others peoples lives easier by helping care for their dogs, I am already outdoors or just out an about. Let me care for others pets the way I would like my pets to be cared for. I have a completely fenced yard 8ft high. All gates are have a self shutting mechanisms.

I also carry a doggy fanny pack with an extra leash and treats to ensure comfort for the pets and their parents at all times when transporting them.

Whether it’s forms of training, being let in & out, walks, check-ins, etc. - nothing is ever too much. Favorite treats, toys & activities are to be followed to make sure your pet (or pets) is as comfortable & happy as can be!

About: Pets got me thru some difficult times, so I want to provide the same loving courtesy they provided me. A pets love is unconditional and when family cannot be there I want to provide them the safety and happy environment they are accustomed to. My first job in high school was a Vet Tech and ive always lived with a four legged loved one. Ive also fostered over the years. You will not be disappointed or ever have to worry about your fur babies welfare in my care. Animals make me smile and keep me smiling. Its the companionship they provide us which makes it easy to welcome them into our lives and homes. Family. They help build families and becoming apart of our families is the best gift EVER!

“This is my second time booking Kayla to watch my dog, and she’s truly amazing! The first time I was out for vacation and booked Kayla to watch my dog overnight for a few days. She was the first River sitter I used, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She is incredibly attentive to my dog’s needs and gave him the right amount of love and cuddles. She cleaned my apartment and sent several updates on my puppy while I was away which made me feel so much better about being away from my dog. I booked her again for a drop in visit and will be booking again as needed! Can’t recommend enough!”

“Great with the cats, very responsive and easy to work with! Even went the extra mile to fill my bird feeders so the cats had some entertainment after she left.”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a baby, dog sitting and house sitting throughout high school! I just recently got a puppy of my own and would love to provide support and care for others. As a pet owner myself I know the importance of individual care for each animal! I am available to dog sit for long periods of time within the home- maintaining not only your home but your pets needs and wants! I also can do daily drop ins- coming by and providing a potty break, walk, or just some playtime! I am also available for walks- I love my active time just as much as your pup! I’m currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule. I am done by evenings and always do a nice evening summer walk when I get home. Love snuggles and play time! I always watch pets when they are let outside and ensure they aren’t getting into trouble inside! I am comfortable with crates, medicine, feedings, etc! I also love to provide updates to you- pictures, videos, texts!

“Absolutely amazing! Communication was great and loved the pictures she sent of our 2 cats while we were away. Loved that she has experience administering IM medication so I didn’t have to worry or stress out about my older cat. Also so kind to bring in our packages and put away our Blue Apron food delivery! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

About: I love animals (probably more than people lol)! I have worked at an animal hospital for two years. Interacted with pets of all shapes and sizes! I grew up with dogs and started pet sitting as a preteen-friends, family, neighbors. I’ve fostered and babysat cats and dogs for long and short stays, including puppies and older cats. I can administer medication. I rescued my dog as a puppy and I have a big interest in dog psychology. I continue to train and work with my dog everyday, as it brings me a lot of joy. I even started a dog training business with my sister and our own podcast (we’re in the early stages!), as we share a love for our four-legged companions! We help coach other owners and touch on topics like dog behavior, holistic health, diet, the vet, dog myths, different training styles, and everything in between! Being around animals makes me so happy! I cherish the time I spend with my dog as he is my favorite companion and I would love the opportunity to get to spend time with your beloved companion(s). :) I work part time so I have time to care for your pet during the day and the days I work I’m not gone for too long! I have a fenced yard and one dog to keep your pet company, if desired. He his crate trained and I can crate your pet if needed as well! I give my dog lots of potty breaks and exercise and play time as well as nap time and training time-keep his mind and body fulfilled and meet his needs:) I plan to do the same with your pet, obviously with their specific needs in mind!
