Dog Sitting Ponder

About: A mature, reliable, responsible sitter with years of experience in pet care. I will always treat your dogs like they’re my own with love, compassion and most of all FUN! I work from home so I am always able to tend to and care for the dogs I’m sitting. I always have plenty of time to walk and play with your pup throughout the day. There is a large, fenced park right nearby which my dogs love. I have large and small crates for any dogs that need crating as well as too many toys than my pups need. I will always make sure your dog/s are safe and happy

About: I’m experienced with high-energy & large dog breeds! I focus on structured, alert walks and attentive supervision. Above all else, I prioritize your dogs routine & safety first. I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I tend to be more available in the mornings & afternoons, but am happy to do evening work should the need arise! My schedule tends to vary week to week, but my evenings get busy from Thursday to Saturday. Otherwise, I’m happy to help! Safety, structure, and home security are my highest priorities. For house sittings and drop-ins, I strictly follow the owner's established rules, keep entryways locked, and double-check gates/doors before and after any outing. For walks, I practice active leash management and remain hyper-aware of my surroundings—maintaining safe distances from triggers, bikes, and other dogs. I ensure fresh water is always available, and send detailed updates after every visit so you know your pet and home are completely secure.

About: From puppies to seniors, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, at least three dogs in my house my whole life. I learned to be responsible and became infatuated with pet-behaviors and learning the way every pet wants to be interacted with. I’ve also grown to love rescues, and have two of my own. While I’m not lucky enough to be a full-time animal enthusiast as my career, my favorite “hobby” is anything to do with dogs, the best way to take care of them, and make sure they enjoy their life. I have two pets of my own, one with special needs. I quite literally view them both as my own children, and do everything I can to know they feel and get treated that way. My pup gets her walks, play time, down time and routine care every day (along with all the snuggles), and as long as he gets attention (and maybe some chicken tubes) my kitty is happy. Even with working full time, I make sure they are my number one my priority. I quite literally view my own pets as my own children, and I know they will always be that way. My boyfriend finds it a bit much, but before her walks, my dog gets her puppy shoes on and off we go, to make sure she doesn’t get her burnt feet. I tend to be a bit of a worry-wart about my pets, I monitor their behavior and actions constantly. As soon as something may seem off with one of them, I’m already making calls and doing research as to what it may be. Thankfully, even with one pet of mine high risk for liver and kidney problems, they have been happy, healthy, and active pets (even with an apartment) since I’ve had them. My priority is always safety no matter the pet.

“I can't recommend Kathleen enough! Her punctuality and reliability gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of state helping my father recover after his surgery. Thank you!”

About: I love animals, I have experience caring for animals since I was a child. In my family we have always been animal lovers. My family and friends have given me the confidence to care for their pets. Me encantan los animales, tengo experiencia cuidando animales desde niña. En mi familia siempre hemos sido animal lover. Mi familia y amistades me han dado la confianza para cuidar a sus mascotas. Currently I am not working, I only study, I am a housewife and I have 3 girls and my pets, I have the time to take care of your pet. Actualmente no estoy trabajando, solo estudio, soy ama de casa y tengo 3 niñas y mis mascotas , tengo el tiempo para cuidar a tu mascota. I have a fenced garden, and the animals can be inside the house. I cannot take care of aggressive dogs or dogs that do not get along with other dogs since I have my daughters and my pets in the house. Tengo el jardin vallado, y los animales pueden estar dentro de la casa. No puedo cuidar a perros agresivos o que no se lleven con otros perros ya que tengo mis hijas y mis mascotas en la casa.

About: We are Chris & Christy and we just recently moved to Texas! Chris has owned a couple of Labradors growing up and Christy grew up with a Pug. Currently, Chris works from home while Christy is unemployed. We have both been dog sitting for over 15 years and we are still excited every time we get to meet a new friend 🙂 Our dogs Milo and Riley have also gotten along with every dog they’ve encountered. A meet & greet is always preferred before booking. When your pet is under our care, we promise to keep them safe and protected at all times 🦮🐕‍🦺🐈🐈‍⬛ While we occasionally have dogs staying with us during the day, we don’t like to exceed 4 dogs in our household at a time (including our 2 dogs). We are typically up around 6am to walk or let the dogs out in the fenced backyard. We are new to Texas, so we have not been going out during the day to avoid the heat. Food stays in a closed pantry/closed door and anything that can be ingested will not be accessible. Your pet’s safety and health is the priority. It’s also important to us that they are comfortable being around our dogs. If not, they are both crate trained and can be separated into different rooms.

“I had an unexpected death in the family and Logan responded quickly, let me book last minute, and was very helpful. Especially since she sent daily pictures of my pets, it was nice to not have to worry about them while everything else was going on. I definitely recommend her.”

About: For over three years, I had the joy of caring for two sweet dogs—Bear, a 20 lb poodle-Maltese mix, and Teddy, a 12 lb Maltese. They were part of my little family, and I truly loved them with all my heart. Every day, I walked them, fed them, played with them, and gave them lots of cuddles. I took them to the vet, made sure they stayed healthy, and kept them looking their best with regular grooming. They slept with me, followed me around the house, and brought so much happiness into my life. Even after my boyfriend and I separated, I still visit them often and care for them when he’s away. They’re still a huge part of my life. Through them, I fell completely in love with dogs. I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily care, giving meds, and comforting anxious. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog needing extra care, I always give pets the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I treat every dog like family—because that’s what they are to me. I’m a student at North Lake College, and outside of my classes, I have lots of free time during the week to care for pets. I absolutely love spending that time with animals—it’s something that brings me joy and never feels like “work.” I do have a part-time job on the weekends, but I’m still available most weekends, especially if we plan ahead. Whether it’s weekday walks, drop-ins, or weekend cuddles, I’m happy to help care for your furry family whenever I can! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and safety always come first. I treat every pet like family—with love, patience, and attention to their unique needs and routines. I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, keeping a calm environment, or giving them lots of affection. If I’m in your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things clean and peaceful for your pet. If your pup stays with me, they’ll have a cozy, quiet space to feel at home, with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and supervision. I also pay close attention to any special instructions, like giving medication, handling anxiety, or following training routines. You can trust that your pet will be safe, loved, and treated like one of my own every step of the way.

About: I’ve been a pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid. While most of my friends were baby-sitting, I was fur baby-sitting! I’ve also previously worked at a boarding facility for 3 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs. I’ve administered medicine ranging from allergies to seizure medication to insulin. I’ve taken care of small puppies and senior dogs with low vision and hearing loss and understand that every pet has its own needs and personality, and tailor my care accordingly. I’m currently working full-time on a hybrid schedule. I’m most available for boarding on weekends (Thursday through Sunday), and can be available weekdays with advance notice. If you’ve got a little critter that doesn’t need consistent attention/supervision (ex. birds, rodents, fish) I can board all week as I’m home every evening. I have a fenced yard and three fur babies of my own - an 11-year-old Australian Shepherd, a 10-year-old Staffie, and a 1.5-year-old miniature Australian Shepherd. All are very dog friendly and love to make new friends! I have a dog door and all 3 of my dogs free roam all day, but I can crate your pet if needed or preferred when unsupervised or at night. I have separate rooms in my house available to keep small critters (i.e. birds, rodents) if they would prefer their own space.

“I continued Abby for her excellent dog sitting and walking skills by booking an overnight and was very pleased with her services. Came back to a happy pup and a clean home. Will be booking her for more extended stays.”

Vincent C.

“She saved the day with a last min request! Despite one of our dogs being scared of everything and everyone, we came home to happy doggies- we will book her again for sure!”

“This is Tania’s third time watching our dogs. She has dog sat for my Great Danes twice before, which is amazing in itself, but this time I added my two small dogs and she did great. Tania is super kind and follows direction so well. I will absolutely continue using Tania as my dog sitter! She’s the best.”
