About: What sets me apart is how much I truly care. I’m great with both young and older pets, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I give them lots of attention, playtime, and care just like they’re my own. I would love to do this part time, I take care of my three cats and one dog daily. I love having my animals around and entertaining them. My cats stay in my room so having other animals around won’t be a problem. When I care for pets in someone else’s home, I stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, take them out for potty breaks or walks, and spend time playing and giving them love. I also keep things clean and safe while you’re away.

About: Whenever we visit family and friends with pets, their little critters always seem to gravitate to me for some unknown reason. I love it. Blessed I like to keep active when I’m not at work. I’m getting close to full time retirement soon and need something to keep me busy. I truly love animals. Ever since I was a young lad, I have had either a dog or cat as a pet and sometimes both at the same time. ☺️
About: I have taken care of many animals growing up in a household with at least 20 dogs (mainly Australian Shepherds) 8 cats, a bird, and hamsters. I can't bring animals into my home since it's rented but I'll gladly house sit for you whenever is needed!! I house sit in dallas when I go on vacation so I'm not a beginner I can promise that. I work from 8-5 I also do doordash and uber eats on the side so I can make my schedules for those fit along with taking care of your animals! I have a fenced yard and 2 loving cats to take care of but I have a rented home so I won't be able to take your pets to my house sadly, I'll house sit for you and take your pets on daily walks at least 3 times a day so they can get their energy out and have fun along with me!
About: I have taken care of dogs for more that 20 years. As a child I had many animals, as an adult I have worked with rescues and friends and family animals. I currently clean house part time so I have plenty of time to play and walk or whatever your fur baby may need, as I make my own hours for houses. I like to stay outside with the animals just to keep an eye as you never know what can arise. I like to meet prior to sitting so that animals get a sense of myself
About: Your dog will be spoiled! I am dog lover and I would love to take care of your medium-small sized dog. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and neighbors. I am currently Stayed at home mom and the services I offer are: Dog Walking, Daily Visits, Potty Breaks, Dog Park Trips, Pet Taxi, Kitty Care and dog boarding. I have a fenced yard and a friendly medium sized dog Cockapoo To keep your fur baby company. I can crate your pet if needed.
About: Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up and have pet sat for others outside of the home for extra money when I was in my teens. I have taken care of and administered medication for elderly animals as well. My love for animals is truly unconditional. I have no children but am a dog mom to two beautiful Shih Tzus who are very spoiled! Pet care has become more of a routine or habit than anything. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of free time to help walk, play, feed and entertain your fur babies! I walk, play & cuddle with my pets daily. I have two friendly small dogs who would love to be able to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your pet if needed but usually if trained like to leave free roaming.
