Dog Sitting Ponder

“Jessica was an outstanding cat sitter, and we couldn't be happier with the care she provided for our two cats while we were away. Both of our cats are extremely shy around new people, so we knew it would take someone patient and attentive to care for them properly. Jessica did a wonderful job making sure all of their needs were met, even when they weren't eager to come out and socialize. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly experienced with cats of different personalities. We especially appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear that she paid close attention to their well-being and made sure they were comfortable, fed, and cared for throughout our trip. When we returned home, our cats were happy, healthy, and relaxed. We are very grateful for the excellent care Jessica provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable cat sitter.”

About: I’ve had all types of pets since I was a baby. I’ve had guinea pigs, birds, hamsters, cats, and dogs. I am an animal lover through and through. I have a pretty open schedule so I will always be able to make the time. If not then I will make sure to have that conversation with whoever I’m caring for. Whatever you ask I will do. I know all families situations are different. If they need to be crated I will. If they need to be let out I will. Just tell me what you need.

“Nitra took great care of my baby on the Fourth of July. He was so scared of the fireworks outside and she helped him feel safe and more comfortable.”

“Amazing as always! Thank you!!!”

About: Dogs have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember, from the family pets I grew up with, to raising kids who always had four-legged companions by their side. Now that my nest is empty, my love for animals hasn't gone anywhere. If anything, it's only grown. My Lab, Buck, is proof of that - I can't imagine a single day without him. I know firsthand how much pets mean to a family. They're not "just dogs" ... they're members of the household, and they deserve to be treated that way. When you trust me with your pet, you're handing them off to someone who genuinely lights up around animals, has decades of real-life experience caring for them, and has the time and flexibility to give them undivided attention every single day. As a work-from-home empty nester, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention and companionship they deserve throughout the entire day. I'm not rushing out the door in the morning or counting down the hours until I get home — I'm here, present, and available. Whether it's a midday walk, a play session, or just some good old-fashioned company on the couch, your pet won't be left waiting or wondering where everyone went. I prefer to come to your home so your pet stays in the environment they know and love — same smells, same routine, same comfort. I believe pets are happiest when their world isn't disrupted, and that peace of mind extends to you as the owner too. That said, if you ever need in-home care at my place, your fur baby will have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to stretch their legs and burn some energy. Given the Texas heat, we keep things smart... outdoor time during the cooler parts of the day, and plenty of indoor fun with toys to keep them active, stimulated, and happy the rest of the time.

About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for dogs belonging to my family, friends, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and even multiple dogs at the same time. Every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. I know being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I always take a calm, patient, and gentle approach to help them feel safe and loved. My goal is to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away. I also believe pets need a healthy balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing with toys, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I’ll make sure they have a fun, safe, and comfortable experience. I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention. As a recent college graduate who still works on campus, caring for my cat is already part of my daily routine. Every day I make sure she has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also spend time making sure she’s happy, comfortable, and getting the care she needs. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, it’s easy for me to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to other pets as if they were my own. It would be good to know if there is anything that scares your pets, certain sounds, movements, etc. It would also be nice to know of any commands/training tactics that I should be using while caring for your pet.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have also sat pets for many years for my friends and neighbors. I have worked as a dog bather so I have experience handling dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I am also willing to bathe, brush, shave paw pads and mats for your dog, the rate is under drop in visits but that is for everything I just listed if you just need one service we can talk about that 😁 (rate will also change depending on the size of the dog). I volunteer at animal rescues so I am very familiar with rescue animals and accommodations they may need. I love any and all animals. I recently started working with cats at my rescue and am willing to learn more about them. I am recently home from college for the summer. I am available all day everyday for drop-ins, house sitting, walks, and basic grooming services. When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow their normal routine as consistently as possible. I make sure they have water, food on time, bathroom breaks, playtime/exercise, and lots of love. For walks I pay attention to how the dog behaves and set my pace, energy, and length of walk to best fit them. For drop-ins and house sitting I make sure the pet gets playtime, basic care, and companionship based on their routine. I have experience with everyday pet care and have also bathed dogs I have cared for when needed. I aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owner is away.

“Carrie was awesome! She sat my Kitty girl in our home. Made drop in visits twice a day to feed, water, scoop poop and administer meds to Kitty. She sent pics of my girl each day to let me know she was ok. She’s both of our favorite now (and Kitty doesn’t like anyone so that’s saying a lot). Carrie was very trustworthy and dependable and we will definitely be booking her again in the future when needed.”

About: I'm a huge animal lover, and have had everything from cats and dogs to ferrets and fish! I've always watched over other people's animals for as long as I can remember and love every moment of it! From cuddling with a lazy fur baby to going on long runs to let out some energy, I've always been able to match any pets energy! I am a full time college student currently studying at NCTC! I'm usually free for the most part if not in class or the weekends where I get most of my studying and homework out of the way!

About: Hi all! I’m Jasmyne, a young professional in the DFW area looking to make some fun extra money. While studying at UNT, I was working at Cane Rosso Rescue in Carrollton. We are sporting breed rescue, so I often work with large dogs (50+ lbs). Many of the dogs that we take in are surrenders/strays with behavioral issues or little to no training. I don’t shy away from a challenge, there are no bad dogs! My goal is to build trust with owners by providing outstanding caretaker services to gain repeat clients. Don’t be afraid to ask me anything about my services for the comfort of your pet. My home is your pets home when staying with me! I have two friendly and well socialized cats JJ (9) and Tumble (7). I WFH on Wed + Fri, though my schedule is flexible! I would like to have a short meet and greet prior to any services for the comfort of your pet and my own. Thank you all, Hopefully you’ll consider me for your next Rover service ! I am a full time student. For this summer semester I am attending classes in the morning from 8am-1pm Monday through Thursday. And Im working part time at the rescue from 2pm-8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I require large dogs to be crated for the first day or two while I’m away, as they adjust to being in a new place. It may not be necessary if the pet isnt show any signs of stress or separation anxiety. I also prefer to walk dogs over 50lbs with my prong collar for their safety and my own. I do have a small fenced patio for quick let outs as well as a dog park within the apartment complex.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from family/friends animals to working in a shelter and a doggy day care, and also volunteering at the vet clinics I taken my own dogs out 3 times per day morning, mid day and before bed time, or sometimes even more depend on how much water and food they drink and I also take them out to the dog park twice a day. i like to stay active with dogs, spending lots of time at the dog park! And I spoil them with lots of toys! make the doggies as comfortable as possible, give them toys and treats and let them sit and nap where ever they want I’ll treat your dog as my own fur baby, I’ll give them lots of love cuddles and kisses and treats! If you allow me to I also have lots of toys for them because my own dogs are too spoiled 😂
