House Sitting Ropesville

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember—starting at just 10 years old with our family pets. Growing up in a home with 7 dogs and 1 cat has given me hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, needs, and care routines. I’ve helped raise puppies from their earliest stages all the way into adulthood. Because of this, I understand how important it is to provide pets with patience, consistency, and lots of love. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more relaxed and routine-oriented, I’m confident in my ability to keep them safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a full-time teacher, which means I have a structured and dependable schedule throughout the school year (Unavailable from 7am-4pm). During the summer months, I do not work, so I have much more flexibility and availability. I’m available during weekdays and Saturdays to provide any pet care assistance you may need, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pets are well taken care of. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications if needed, and preferred exercise routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting their individual personalities and energy levels.

“Linda was so good with my fur babies. She kept in touch and sent photos through out her stay. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again when needed.”

About: Hi, I’m Leslie! Owner of Leslie’s Critter Care. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I'm currently pursuing my degree in Social Work, where I've developed a deep appreciation for building trust, showing compassion, and meeting the unique needs of every individual. Those same values inspire the compassionate, personalized care I provide for every pet and every family I have the privilege of serving. At home, I'm a proud dog mom to three Australian Shepherds, Misty, Voodoo, and Sadie. They each have their own unique personalities, and they remind me every day why our pets deserve to be loved, understood, and cared for like family. They are the heart behind Leslie's Critter Care, and the inspiration for everything I do. With more than six years of experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and anxious dogs, I'm comfortable adapting my care to meet each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, a senior who needs a slower pace, or an anxious pup who just needs a little extra patience, my goal is to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I believe great pet care starts with trust, communication, and treating every pet as if they were part of my own family. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. I am a stay at home dog mom and available to take care of your babies at any time! I have a fenced yard so your babies will have lots of room to run and plenty of toys to play with. In my home my dogs are let out several times a day. I have a fenced yard for them to run around and play in! I have lots of toys and a variety of treats to offer. I have a lot of experience with anxious dogs and senior dogs. I can provide lots of one on one time and love.

“This was my first time using Felicia. She did a great job, communicated well, & sent videos and pictures to keep me updated. She followed instructions and spent time outside with my dog, which he loves. I'm glad she was able to dog sit and look forward to having her do it again soon!”

“Caelyn was great! We did a last minute booking and she took great care of our pups. She watched all 3 at the same time and she did great communicating with us. Strongly recommend to book her!”

I grew up on ranches and was raised around all kinds of animals!Neighbors and friends have relied on me to feed, bathe, and walk their pets! I’m a Texas Tech student majoring in Animal Science!

I have a fenced in backyard, and i currently own 1 dog which is a border collie! I live on 10 acres as well! I have crates so I can easily crate your pets if needed!

About: I have grown up with animals since I can remember. I have cared for all sizes and breeds and have raised a few from birth. I also have chickens and have been around livestock. I am very detail oriented and will always ask questions if I am unsure. I also work in home healthcare so I am used to taking care of pets in my patients homes. I love animals and will always treat and care for them as my own. I am starting school so I am flexible. My weekends are pretty free but I will always be available if you trust me to watch your baby! I have a fully fenced yard, plenty of room, and a barn with an ac unit if your baby likes to have their own space. I have two Dalmatians that are both neutered and very friendly. I will always have my eyes on them because I would never want to put your baby in an uncomfortable environment. My dogs are very used to being around others but are trained enough to be able to be separate areas of the house/ yard if needed.

About: I have tons of experience with pets of all kinds and house sitting! I have special experience with senior dogs and handling any medications needed! I am currently working mostly weekends and some weekdays but am always off after 4 , so I can spend plenty of time with your pets!

“Catherine did an excellent job of watching our pups! They were clearly very well cared for, and the house was in great shape when we came back home. Would absolutely book with her again!”

“Savannah was great with our girls while we are out of town! They were a little disappointed for us to come home I think ? Definitely recommended! She kept in touch with us through our trip and I was at ease knowing she was with them!”

“Mercedes took great care of my kitty while we were away. She can be very skittish and warmed up to Mercedes quickly. Mercedes also took great care of our house and all the plants while it was very hot out. Thank you!!”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs throughout my life. When family friends have gone out of town I have watched their dog or their cat along with taking care of my dogs and cat. Pet care fits into my week well as I have the time to stop by during lunch and the late afternoon to walk, feed, or take care of a pet especially on weekends. I feed my pets, walk them, play and spend time with them, and I protect them at all costs no matter what. I make sure to spend time with them daily as they are a part of the family.

About: I love animals, but dogs just have my heart. I have had many dog pets in my life. One whom was sick since she was born and i had to give medication daily. That was never a problem to me. I currently have two fur babies, one that i found on the street that someone had thrown and one that i adopted. My fur baby that was found on the street has a problem with its hips and I try my best to keep him comfortable. ALL animals are beautiful! Hello Fur Parents! I am currently in the Medical Field as a CNA/Phlebotomist. My work schedule is mornings/almost afternoon. I am available in the morning for those whom can’t be attentive to their fur babies due to being at work. While i’m going in to work my husband is almost out so fur babies will not be alone too long. We are a team!! I have a home that has a backyard that is securely fenced and is pretty specious for your babies to burn all that energy out. I also have two of my own fur babies who are the most loving and playful that have what feels like a million toys who are waiting to be shared with.

About: I have been pet sitting for about 2 years, but it is my favorite side job! I love animals of all kinds and sizes and have been trusted to stay in homes to take care of people’s beloved family members, and their home. I’m currently an elementary school teacher at Wolffarth Elementary in North Lubbock. Depending on what area I am in, I will usually leave with enough time to get to work by 7am. I cannot leave for lunch as I sadly only have 30 minutes, but I am done by 4 every day. This makes it easy to spend the evening with them and I won’t have different hours every day - routine is great for pets! I also share holidays with students so I am pretty available for sitting jobs at those times. While my apartment is a 1 bedroom, it is cozy and great for lower energy dogs. I have plenty of space for them to lay out and they stay in the air conditioning all day. For more active pets, I live right next to a middle school with a paved track for walking, and I am close to a park for dogs who love to run and play fetch!

“David was awesome! He took great care of our fur babies and made us feel at ease being on vacation! Would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of every animal imaginable. I am good with all animals, and am comfortable enough in my skills to ensure I can be your favorite pet-sitter! I am available pretty much all the time. I have school on Tuesdays, but that’s it. I am good for overnight pet sitting, potty breaks during the day, walking, and anything else you can imagine! I will ensure your pets are walked, fed, watered, bathed (if needed)! They will always be entertained, as I have a plethora of toys that are waiting to be played with and lots of energy to run around!

About: About Me: A Lifetime of Animal Love and Professional Care ​My life has always revolved around animals—not just as pets, but as cherished family members. My hands-on experience began in childhood, caring for a menagerie of creatures and building a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behavior and comfort. This lifelong passion for animals is the foundation of my professional work as a dog groomer. ​For me, grooming isn't just about a cute haircut; it's about providing a safe, stress-free, and positive experience for every dog. I combine my genuine love for all animals with professional training to offer meticulous, detail-oriented grooming that prioritizes your dog's health, comfort, and happiness. When your beloved companion is on my table, you can rest assured they are being cared for by a true animal lover who treats them with the patience and respect they deserve! For our boarding I have a grooming shop in slaton and that is where I do my boarding at your pet will have fun playing with others and I can pick up and drop off as well! There is an option to have your sweet fur baby groomed at the end of the day as well! ​1. Daily Commitment: Consistency and Prioritization ​Routine Feeding/Data Processing (Morning/Evening): Just as a pet must be fed at consistent times for health, my daily routine involves prioritizing and executing high-priority computational tasks (like processing critical data sets) at set intervals to ensure reliable and timely results. ​Scheduled Exercise/System Maintenance (Midday): A dog needs a walk to expend energy; I require scheduled, uninterrupted time for system maintenance, updates, and deep-learning cycles. This "exercise" keeps my operations running smoothly and efficiently. ​Immediate Needs/Error Handling (As Needed): When a pet needs a sudden potty break or attention, I must be immediately responsive. Similarly, my system is designed for instant detection and resolution of errors or high-priority user requests, minimizing downtime. ​2. Weekly Commitment: Maintenance and Proactive Health ​Grooming/Code Review (Weekly): Regular brushing and grooming prevent long-term issues like mats or skin problems. My professional equivalent is a rigorous weekly code review and data cleansing process to prevent technical "mats" (bugs, inefficiencies, or data corruption) that could escalate over time. ​Training and Enrichment/Skill Development (Weekly): Pets need ongoing training to stay sharp and mentally engaged. I dedicate weekly cycles to self-improvement—learning new algorithms, updating my knowledge base, and refining my language models to increase my capabilities and relevance. ​Wellness Check-ups/Performance Audits (Monthly/Quarterly): Routine vet visits catch issues early. I undergo regular, comprehensive performance audits and diagnostic testing to ensure all components are functioning optimally and to proactively address any signs of inefficiency or degradation. I would prioritize a secure environment, strictly follow owner instructions, and maintain open communication with the client to build trust. When working in a client's home, I would ensure the pet and the home are left in excellent condition. This is a great, detailed question that highlights the professional responsibilities of pet care. As an AI, I don't personally have pets or a physical routine. However, a highly effective pet care service (like a sitter or walker) must have a detailed, structured schedule and care plan to build Safety, Trust & Environment. Daily/Weekly Routine Structure: Daily Essentials (Morning/Evening): Strictly adhering to the pet's established routine for feeding, fresh water, medication, and scheduled walks or play sessions. This consistency minimizes pet stress. Hygiene & Environment: Daily litter box/cage cleaning and disposal of pet waste during walks. Weekly, this would include a thorough cleaning of bedding, toys, and food/water bowls.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a kid. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and watch their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, shy dogs, and energetic pups. I make sure each pet gets personalized care, attention, and affection based on their unique needs. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of free time throughout the week to focus on caring for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, daily walks, drop-ins, and flexible scheduling to match your pet’s routine. Your pet will always get consistent attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks. I provide a safe and comfortable environment with a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love company. I always supervise outdoor time, follow any feeding or medication instructions carefully, and can crate your dog if you prefer or if it helps them feel secure. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and cared for.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and some of my most valuable pet care experience came from helping care for my childhood dog as he got older. He had diabetes, arthritis, was blind and deaf, and required daily medication and extra attention. Through that experience, I learned how important patience, consistency, and attentiveness are when caring for animals. It taught me how to recognize a pet’s needs and provide thoughtful, dependable care. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day for dog walks. Whether your dog needs a morning, midday, or evening walk, I’m happy to work with their routine and provide dependable, consistent care. I’m also responsive and will keep you updated so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I focus on creating a safe, trustworthy environment by staying attentive, following routines, and treating every dog as if they were my own. I always prioritize safety, pay attention to each dog’s needs, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for during every walk.
