Dog Sitting Ponder

About: I have hands on experience working with dogs in a professional kennel and daycare environment. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I am attentive and understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I also have experience with senior dogs and know how important extra patience, comfort, and attention can be. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like they are my own and want them to feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work mornings during the week and get off at 1 PM most days, giving me afternoons and evenings available around my classes. I’m especially available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, which gives me plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m also flexible with drop-ins and can work with each pet’s routine and needs. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I follow each owner’s instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I also keep owners updated so they know their pets are in good hands.

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: I have taken care of all sizes of animals ever since I was 14 years old, from horses to rabbits. Currently I have four cats, two dogs, one horse, one donkey, and four goats. Some of them have three legs and some can’t see but I have cared for them all with as much love as I can. Difficult animals are something I have dealt with as well, I understand that animals have their own boundaries that need to be respected. Right now I am a nursing student at UTA, my classes start on January 13, and when that happens, I will not be able to work on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s. I might be able to make it work if the scheduled time is much earlier or much later in the day. I have a fenced yard, and there are several gates in my house so I can separate dogs from each other if needed. I also have an area the cats can stay in if the certain pet does not like cats. I live on a 7 acre plot of land, which will give any dog enough run time to have fun and also sleep really hard by the end of the day

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

“Austin was so polite and reliable! He came to meet the cats out of his own will before hand to make sure he was a good fit and sent us lovely pictures throughout the babysitting. One of my shy cats even came out to meet him by the second visit— I was impressed!”

About: Well hello :), I am a skilled kennel technician and Dog trainer with a solid background in animal care. I worked for an establishment known for boarding and grooming fur babies, as well as earning my certificate for positive reinforcement training, providing me with the opportunity to watch them throughout the day and night. That includes playtime, meals, nap time, or just simple boarding, and if needed administering medicine to those in need. While doing those I’m also very attentive to our surroundings, constantly monitoring conditions, to maintain a clean area and keeping an eye out for an unusual behavior. I am currently a Dog trainer at Petco, and in school for Veterinary Technology. I do have a very flexible schedule and could always make something work with just a heads up in a decent amount of time. i won’t schedule a day that i am working just for the sake of the animal. I provide loving in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, and companionship while owners are away.

“Very communicative and reliable.”

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life! I grew up taking care of my family’s dogs and cats, and I’ve taken care of family friends’ and professors’ animals for 4 years. I know people’s animals are their family, and that is how your dog or cat will be treated with me! I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and pets with different needs such as animals with anxiety and blind pets. I currently work full time at the University of Memphis. When taking care of someone else’s pet, they are my top priority and I adapt my schedule around the animal and their care! Additionally, I will ensure they are always safe and secure. Whether that means making sure all the gates are locked before letting them out, crating them before I leave, or showing them extra love if they’re feel nervous about their family being away. I will also be sure to leave your home clean and cared for while you are away. I take pet sitting very seriously, and I will treat your pet as if it were my own while you’re gone! I also know consistent communication is key when caring for someone’s animal, and I will be sure to always have my phone on me to send you updates and cute pictures of your pet! While I do work full time and am in graduate school, I make sure that I am allotting enough time to be able to prioritize your animal. So whether that is waking up earlier to walk them or coming during my lunch break to check on them, I will adapt my routine around your pet! Safety is a fundamental piece of being able to care for someone’s pet because they are apart of your family. In my home, they will be the only pet around! In your home, I will always verify gates and doors are locked for the protection of your pet and belongings. Additionally, I will ensure leashes and harnesses are put on correctly before every walk! Their safety and happiness is always a priority to me!

About: I have been taking care of family pets since I was a little girl. When I grew up nothing changed but I got paid to do it. I worked for Petland for 8 years and volunteered with a training service for a year or so, I have worked with almost every dog possible. I have trained dogs through out the years, large and small, so if you need a hand I’m happy to help. I worked with special needs dogs as well, for instance I have worked with dogs that have Megaesophagus, hypoglycemia, diabetes, cancers and more. So if you have a new small puppy and you are worried about blood sugar, I am 100 percent the person you need. Working in the pet industry and side by side with veterinarians I am very knowledgeable about pet health. This really means I check the stool so if something comes up, I will tell you immediately. Right now I have a pit bull and a husky, my father has a mastiff and a Rhodesian Ridgeback, so “aggressive” breeds and large size do not scare me, I welcome it! I hope you consider me to become your fur babies new friend! As of right now my schedule is very flexible and open so please just ask and I'm sure we can work it out no problems. My babies get three 15 to 30 minute walks everyday and get their two meals a day with brushing once a week. Our favorite thing to do is go out to the river for a good time.

About: I’ve taken care of my friends, family, and neighbors dogs when they went out of town. I also volunteered at a dog shelter in high school in my hometown. I have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and taking care of small and big dogs. For reference, I had a miniature schnauzer till I was 13 and now my family has a boxer and a great dane. I’m currently a student at UNT and will have plenty of time for your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and anytime after 12pm on weekdays At my apartment complex there is plenty of space for your puppies to go potty and walk around and there are several other dog owners with friendly dogs who live here for your puppies to say hi to and make friends!

About: I have my CPR licenses, if your babies are on any kind of medications I'll make sure they take them on time every day that there with me!! I'm currently pregnant so I have to take an easy, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to have fun with your fur babies 🩷 I have 4 dogs of my own so I know how important it is to watch your babies! I will make sure they have lots of fun!! And send lots of pictures

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.

About: I have had cats and dogs since I can remember. I am familiar with what they need and different behaviors they may exhibit. I am a caring person that loves animals and I have cats and a dog of my own. I would love the opportunity to love on your pet while you are away to make sure they get the love and care they need. I know it can be hard to leave your beloved pet so I want to help make you feel as comfortable as possible with the care they will be getting. I follow instructions well and would send pictures and updates throughout the day and night. You will not regret leaving them and will be able to enjoy time away.

About: My love for dogs started when I was just 11 years old, caring for my family’s little Peki-Pom. Since then, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. For the past 4.5 years, I’ve been a proud Great Pyrenees owner, which has taught me even more about patience, responsibility, and understanding the unique needs of larger breeds. From small companions to gentle giants, I genuinely enjoy caring for dogs and treating them with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own! I currently work a hybrid schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time at home! I’m home throughout the day on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, giving me lots of flexibility to provide your pets with the love, attention, and care they deserve. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I work in the office from 8 AM to 5 PM. I always strive to provide a comfortable, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I live in Downtown Lewisville in a cozy, welcoming home where your furry friend will be treated like family. Although I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I make sure dogs receive frequent potty breaks, outdoor walks, and plenty of opportunities to stretch their legs, enjoy fresh air, and explore their surroundings. I also have a resident Great Pyrenees who is a true gentle giant! She has a sweet, loving personality and absolutely loves being around other dogs, making her a wonderful companion for visiting pups. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and unique needs, so I always strive to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. As a devoted dog owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own, so you can have peace of mind knowing your companion is in caring hands!

“She was great! She fed him as directed, checked his litter box and water, provided in depth updates and gave us amazing pictures! Will definitely be seeking her again for my all in of my upcoming sitting needs.”

About: Hi, my name is Ashley C! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and I’ve played basketball majority of my life (former D1 athlete, Wolve's up!). I have grown up with dogs and have a natural affinity for all kinds of animals. I’ve volunteered for shelters and I also have pet sat for a lot of family and friends throughout my youth. I enjoy being outside and taking my furry friends for long or short walks (whatever they're feeling that day). Pet sitting is awesome and very rewarding in itself because I absolutely treasure spending time with so many wonderful pets. I assure you that I will treat them just as well as I would want my pets to be treated. I love being around animals and I can’t wait to meet you and your pet family! My schedule is normally pretty chill. I currently work part time from home; therefore, I can provide maximum and optimal care and attention to your furry friend all day long. I have a fenced back yard, and live a few minutes away from a large park, so if your pet LOVES long walks (or jogs), fetch, or just soaking up the sun, then I am the perfect fit. I also have a doggie pool, so if your dog is a water bug, let me know and they can play in the pool and I will make sure to send you a lot of pictures of them playing!

About: I’m a pet mama to an active Border Collie, and a super chill cat, so I know exactly how to cater to different personalities. Regardless of whether your pet needs a good workout session, or quiet cuddles, I’ve got you covered! Growing up around animals naturally led to years of caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I'm completely comfortable with specialized care, from strict routines to administering medications if your pet isn't feeling their best. Leaving your fur babies with someone new can be stressful, I know. It’s very important to me that they feel safe, loved, and at ease. I will be patient and compassionate to your pet as I would with mine. My schedule is flexible. I’m happy to hang out with your pet for walks, play time, drop-ins, or last minute requests. Reach out and connect with me, I’m always glad to help out. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel secure in their space. When I visit, I keep things calm and respectful, never rushing or overwhelming your pet. I follow instructions carefully, use positive reinforcement, and ensure your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I always treat your home and pet's routine with the same respect I’d want for my own.
