Dog Boarding in Refugio, TX

“Lynda was fantastic!! She accepted my booking with nearly no notice, and did a great job with my older dog, Leo. Her place has a great little fenced in area for dogs, and you can tell that she really cares about their well being and doing little things to make them more comfortable and happy during their stay with her. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Stefani was a great help ! We were in town and totally forgot the Texas State Aquarium didn’t allow pets. She took Lola into her home while we were at the aquarium. Kept me updated. When back in town and needing a sitter will definitely book again! Thank you once again!”

About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—including pregnant mamas and newborn pups—I bring more than just love to pet sitting. I’ve assisted in safe deliveries, cared for litters, and provided round-the-clock attention to dogs with special needs. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and training, so their good habits stay strong even while you’re away. Whether it’s belly rubs, behavior reinforcement, or late-night check-ins, your pet will be cared for like they’re my own. I plan my day around the pets I care for. From morning walks to evening check-ins, their needs come first, and I always make sure to give them structure, love, and attention throughout the day. Whether pets are staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, their comfort and routine are my top priority. I adapt to their personality and needs—whether that means active play, extra snuggles, or sticking to a specific training or feeding schedule. I always aim to provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment they can feel secure in.

“I left my chocolate lab with Molli as we were passing through her town on our way to our vacation. She had availability just 2 days in advance which was super convenient for us! I received lots of pictures and updates of my dog doing fun things and looking super happy, comfortable, and relaxed. Very happy with the entire experience!”

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.

“Alissa was very sweet and welcoming right off the bat. She took good care of my dog and constantly sent me pictures and updates on how he was doing. She even made a name sticker in my dogs name which I thought was very cool.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for years including my own, fosters, and family and friends’ pets. I have experience with all ages and sizes of both cats and dogs. I do have a 7 year old lab in my home who is very friendly and loves overnight doggie guests. I would love to learn more about how I can help you care for your pet! Note: I only book one client at a time for in-my-home services (day car/boarding). I accept multiple dogs from the same family, but will not book another client while I have your dog(s). I currently work full time with a flexible schedule during the week and am very available on weekends! I’d be happy to see how I can fit your loved ones care into my schedule! I have a fully fenced (6ft wood privacy) large yard. We also allow our dog and your on all furniture and beds if they’d like; they’re a member of the family. We do have a crate for security if that makes your pup feel more safe and sound when they’re away from their humans. Please let me know if there are any other accommodations or notes I’d need to know to best care for your pet!

“Sierra and her family took wonderful care of my senior dog. She sent me photos throughout the stay and it gave me such peace of mind. We will definitely reach out to her again when we need a sitter!”

I’ve loved every minute of meeting all kinds of personalities from all pets and giving them the love and attention they need. I’m happy to do a meet and greet with your fur baby. Look forward to meeting you! Currently transitioning to part time work for Hygiene school so I will have lots of time on my hands to watch over your fur baby :) I love to take pups on walks In the neighborhood, play with their favorite toys and give them lots of rubs!

About: I have grown up around all kinds if animals and helped with their care since I could remember. I have been pet sitting since I was in high school a d have cared for mostly dogs and cats, but have experience with reptiles and birds as well. My pooch is named Whiskey and I have trained him to be a therapy dog in our community and we volunteer weekly visiting schools, nursing homes, etc. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages. I raised a kitten from 9 days old once. I have experience giving pills and meds to both dogs and cats. I even used to volunteer with sea life giving IV fluids, feedings, meds, and rescue efforts. I work fully remotely, full time. I am available to walk pets in the mornings and evenings. If the pets are staying with me, I have a large fully fenced yard for your pups to play in with my dog. I have a large fenced yard and a fur baby who loves everyone, cats included. There is room in my hometown crate your pet if they are used to, or they are welcome to free roam. I work from home so the pets are rarely if ever left alone while in my care. I strive to keep a routine as close to what your pet is used to in terms of feeding and walking schedules. And of course your fur babies are allowed on all my furniture.

I'd Love to be able to help you and your pet My yard is fence you can count on me to keep your pets comfortable and safe. The park is around the corner of my home, if you have an active pet we can take a stroll to the park.

About: I owned dogs for 40 years so I know how our pets are family. I said goodbye to my little furbaby 4 years ago and while I’m not ready to have my own again, I’m happy to love on yours. I’m single, no kids, so if you have a puppy that requires extra attention, a senior dog who prefers a low key environment, or just a dog that appreciates being spoiled, I’m your gal. I love the energy a dog brings to a home. I live in a quiet low traffic neighborhood so we’ll start and end the day with a walk to get us both some exercise. I live next to the state park and across from the loop, if you prefer your pup to have more exercise. I’ve had three puppies of my own, watched my mother’s brand new puppy during COVID, so I’m comfortable with adhering to your potty training schedule so your training doesn’t miss a beat. If there’s other training you want me to keep up with, I’m happy to do that too! I also have had two senior dogs that passed from cancer so I’m comfortable with providing a relaxing environment for them, as well as medication administration. I work from home and will be taking time off for the holidays so your pet will have my full attention. I’m accustomed to taking care of my family and friends pets, so know how important it is to stick to the dog’s routine. I will take them on AM/PM walks with potty breaks in between but happy to do more extensive exercising on the loop or hiking trails at my house. You know what your dog needs, so I’ll gladly accommodate. I have a fenced in back yard but your dog will only be outside supervised. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for morning and evening walks. I also live across from the loop trail and next to the state park in case you’d like your dog to get more exercise in. I’m happy to crate your dog too if that’s your preference. I’m also a snuggler so happy to have your dog join me on the couch or sleep in the bed. It’s just me, so your dog doesn’t have to contend with other pets or kids. They can get 1:1 attention. I only take one family at a time.

About: I’ve volunteered at pet shelters since I was 16, and i dog-sat my neighbors pets all throughout middle school & high school. I’m pretty much available whenever. Your pet is more than welcome to stay overnight with me and will always have a full belly! I am familiar with putting on a harness & walking on a leash so neither will be a problem for me! When volunteering for the animal shelter in my hometown I was able to bring dogs to the park or the pool, I would be happy to do the same for your pup! I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home 24/7 to care for your pets! my daughter loves puppies, and will be more than happy to love on your for baby while you’re away I have a fenced yard and plenty of room to run, I treat your dogs as if they’re mine and they will be very cared for with me!

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I will go out of my way for your pet! I currently live in on a farm with tons of space. I also have tons of toys and treats, with also learning activities! I will be able to take the dogs to pee or do their business frequently. I am open if you schedule ahead, and very lieutenant with anything! I’m currently working from home, and also work hands free. So your pup will have my full undivided attention. I usually have nothing planned for weeks ahead, and that it why I do appreciate scheduling ahead but I am very lenient. I have my own pet and right when we wake up I take her out to potty and for a nice walk, we will play a little and then head inside for breakfast. I have a pretty big yard and house so she tends to herself all day with all of her toys or just relaxes on my L shaped couch which is quite big as well. I work from home as I said before so I am able to be with mine and the clients dogs all day and tend to their needs as necessary! I will then take her for another walk and play, get that energy going and head inside for lunch/dinner however many times they are fed and set up for relaxation. They are aloud to sleep on the couch if need or client can provide bed or crate! I also have a crate if needed.
