Top rated Port Arthur house sitters


About: I have over 18 years of experience house and animal sitting from overnights to up to 6 weeks in duration; caring for not only dogs but also horses (full boarding barn to a couple of pasture horses), cats, fish, rabbits, goats, chickens, etc. I know what it's like to worry about my pets when I'm away, so I strive to give top notch care, follow all instructions, and have fun with your dog! All while keeping you updated with pictures/texts on how they're doing. I am happy to provide most any dog/house sitting arrangement, walking/visit or boarding. At our country home we have a peaceful and fun environment and private large field that is kept mowed. Your dog will be supervised very closely. Non smoking home. Thank you for considering me; I hope you have a great day! I am a stay at home mom to one and I am home most or all of the day. We are very flexible but also stay on schedule and can accommodate your dog's routine. We live in the country and have ample space for private walks as well as a large mowed field. I supervise very closely and am diligent about keeping your dog as safe as possible on leash while still having fun and exercising. I will feed and take dog out following all instructions.

“Alec and Buddha were awesome! The communication, videos, and pictures while we were gone provided a great level of comfort. Alec also did some work with training our puppy during his stay AND we know she had a fun time while we were away - they definitely worked hard and played harder! And as an added bonus, the house was perfectly clean when we returned! Looking forward to booking Alec again in the near future.”


About: I have lived with animals of all kinds for as long as I remember, ever since I was about 5 I would help my parents feed and take care of the animals, and I still help with many thing weither it's bathing, taking on walks, giving hair cuts, giving vaccinations, cutting nails, or giving medication of all sorts. I am currently a senior in high school so on weekdays I have to wait till 4:00 to love your fur-babys as much as you do. I will give your fur-babys the same care and love as I give my pets at home, while also meeting your specific care expectations to keep your fur-babys safe and happy.

“Jessica took wonderful care of my dog. She was very loving and kind toward Watson and was receptive to everything I asked her to do. She even made sure to send photos to me daily so that I wouldn’t miss him too much! I really appreciate knowing that my dog was in such safe hands for my first trip away from him!”

Alexandra F.
“I've known Alex for several years as she's the daughter of one of my co-workers. I've been to her family's home many times where they have several pets of their own including cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs and have seen Alex taking care of them in a loving and caring manner. I have had her care for my own pets in my home, I have a very timid 80# Pitbull along with a sassy cat. My dog was very comfortable with her and really enjoyed Alex taking her for walks and car rides. My cat allowed Alex to pet her which is more than she does for most people :) Alex showed up on time and stayed for the time that was agreed upon. As I watched her grow up, I know that Alex has always been a hard worker, a good student and a kind, responsible young lady in general. My pets and I look forward to her coming back for pet-sitting.”
