“Caitlin was amazing. She was patient and kind. Really nice person who was willing to do whatever it took to take care of Loki. I will be choosing her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, and I’ve always had a way with animals, they always seem to gravitate towards me. I love taking care of people and animals, I want to be a doctor. I’m good at comforting shy/anxious animals, and I can be a great playmate for the adventurous type. I’m currently on summer break, so I have almost everyday completely free. I’m going on a cruise in early July, and then I begin moving into college mid August. I can be very quiet and calm, I am able to sit with pets and/or crate them. I’m happy to play with pets and keep them entertained as well.
About: Howdy- I'm Mason, the perfect choice for any kind of dog you've got! Big or small, rowdy or skittish- I've cared for all kinds! In case you'd like to hear a bit about me, I'm a former Boy Scout of America, I rock climb in my free time, and I bike to the Sam Houston State University campus every day during the school year. In other words, there's not a dog on Earth that can play too rough for me! For several years in high school, I volunteered as an intern at a wolf sanctuary that specialized in caring for abandoned wolf dogs, as well as wolves that cannot be safely released back into the wild. At SHSU, I'm currently working towards my bachelor's degree in biology, with plans to specialize into wildlife biology- meaning I've also cared for a variety of reptiles, amphibians, and insects. While I have yet to encounter a dog that has more stringent environmental or medical care needs than the average chameleon, I'm more than willing to learn the specific pet care details of your dog. It's my mission to treat your pet as well as you would! Additionally, I've got quite the knack for photography- provided you're willing, I'd be happy to bring over my camera and lenses to take some photos of your pet to make sure you don't miss them too much while you're away! During the summer, I will be fully available around the clock. During the school year, my availability is greatly reduced- depending on the specifics of the semester, I am generally unavailable until 4:00 p.m., with some variance depending on the specific course schedule that semester. I will update my availability regularly to keep clients informed about when I am free to perform pet care. Since I live in a condominium with a 'no-pets' policy, I am unfortunately unable to board dogs. However, I have nearly a decade of personal dog ownership experience- feeding, crating, play, meeting medical needs, and, of course, cleaning up any pet messes, should they occur.
“Evie was absolutely amazing with our cats! We have two cats, one very territorial and one who is an angel. Evie took the time to get to know both of them, and has been the first person outside my family that our bulldog of a cat has accepted into the house! I cannot recommend her enough. Evie is sweet, personable, kind, and patient. We are so lucky to have found her! Thanks, Evie!”
“Geneva took great care of my sweet but shy cat, and even sent occasional pictures of her getting belly rubs and relaxing.”
“So happy I found Rover and in turn found Samantha to care for my cat when we were out of town:”
“Ana was awesome. She weren’t above and beyond to help me out short notice. Great communication and always in time. Highly recommend.”
“Dakota was great! She was incredibly thorough and went above and beyond what was asked of her. She is also very personable and passionate about animals :)”
“Ashley was perfect for our pups! They instantly loved her when they first met. I appreciated that she wasn't hesitant to get on the floor with them and play. She gave regular updates via texts and pictures which I absolutely need for my own peace of mind :) Our pups are on the needier side and when we came back they didn't seem stressed AT ALL. If anything, they seemed more relaxed and content as if we had just left for a work day instead of a whole weekend! I hope Ashley will be available the next time we need a sitter because she was great!”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life and have been pet sitting since I was a teen. I absolutely love animals and love to give others peace of mind as they travel by taking care of their fur babies! I work full time, but only 4 days a week. I have plenty of time to run home and check on your animals and spend even more time with them on my days off! I am more than comfortable with animals of all sizes and can give them all the love they need. I can crate your dog if needed or spend time playing fetch or engaging your cat 🫶
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 15. I have also volunteered at local animal shelters and rescues. I know how and can administer proper care to elder pets. I am a current student at UNT and I am available most days after 2:30! I am also available most weekend mornings, evenings, and nights! I care for pets by walking, playing, and feeding them, but most importantly showing them love. I also care for them by cleaning up any messes they make and they’re creates so that they are always comfortable!
