Doggy Day Care Salado

About: I have grown up on a farm with a bunch of animals, so I know how to take care of a variety! I am currently a legal assistant working from home, and I am looking to make extra money. My schedule is fairly free, so I have time to pick up some extra activities. I live in a house with a backyard. I am a very active person and don’t mind taking frequent walks/runs. Fur babies deserve love as much as humans and I will make sure that happens :) Having my own dog, I know the important stuff of being attentive and patient. I work from home, so I always have time for attention. My dog is my best friend and has traveled the country with me. It is not always easy to leave them behind, so I understand the importance of knowing they’re cared for when finding a pet sitter. Know they will be in good hands here and happy to provide all the updates! My remote position allows for attentive care. Most days I am home all day except for my morning and evening walks. So, they will have around the clock care! I treat everyone’s animals as if they were my own, so they will be well cared for with plenty of attention. It will be their own fun vacation!

About: While I’ve been around dogs for over 10 years, most of my hands-on care experience comes from being a full-time mama—which means I’m no stranger to routines, messes, or giving lots of love and attention! I also work full-time from home, so your pup won’t be left alone and will get plenty of care, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. What really sets me apart is that we live a low-tox lifestyle—so my home is a clean, pet-safe space free of harsh chemicals and full of love. Your dog will be treated like family here, surrounded by sweet kids, fresh air, and a relaxed, playful environment. Whether they need a walk, a nap buddy, or a consistent routine, I’ve got it covered—just like I do for my own little crew. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to be with your pup all day. We’re a very active family that loves spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of attention, fresh air, and playtime! I only offer pet care in our home, where your pup will be treated like family. We have a clean, low-tox, pet-safe environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I work from home full-time, so your dog will get constant love and attention throughout the day. Our mini schnauzer, Bogey, is very relaxed and loves being around other dogs—he’s the perfect companion for visiting pups! Safety and trust are top priorities, and we do everything we can to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home.

About: I have experience caring for dogs for friends and family, including walks, feeding, and playtime. As a mom, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and nurturing, I treat every dog like part of my own family. I keep you updated, follow instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets the best care every time. As a full-time student and stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and enjoy getting outside. I’d love to spend that time walking and caring for dogs and cats I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for quite a while! It started with trick training which turned into completely 6 months at a dog training school and earning a certificate in canine training and behavioral specialist. I am confident in handling and caring for the most difficult pups! From nervous and anxious dogs to high energy working dogs, I am willing to create a safe and effective boarding/care experience for them. My whole life revolves around my dogs so your pups will be loved and cared for during their stay. I have a schedule that allows me to fit any pet care needs. My dogs get tons of outside times, walks, and potty breaks throughout the day so whatever plan your pup needs we can accommodate! I am flexible on creating a system that works best for you pets. I can house dogs that are not good in crates and well as dogs that need to be crated. I have pet cameras throughout the home so I can keep watch at all times! We can come up with a system that works best for you pets! Whether that be multiple walks per day or a special feeding plan!

“My dog takes a long time to warm up to men, hates peanut butter, and isn’t food motivated. Within the first 5 minutes of our meet and greet my dog was eating peanut butter treats out of his hand and happily getting all the scratches. I have no idea how he did it but my dog instantly loved him. When it came time for the booking my dog jumped out of the car and ran straight for his door with out waiting for me. I got a ton of photos and my dog was very relaxed in all of them. I highly recommend Joshua.”

About: I have been in the veterinary setting since I was sixteen and I've been a veterinary technician for a couple years now! I am now focusing on the most important thing in life which is family and I would love to take care of your fur babies when you need it! I am a certified forehead kisser and a great conversationalist with the non-speaking, I do not discriminate on personality and/or breed. I am confident in my ability to make your fur baby feel comfortable in my presence and I can't wait to meet you! I am available early mornings to afternoons until about 3pm-5pm! (Open to longer days depending on your schedule) Weekend availability when needed. As of right now, I am not offering any overnight stays. Before taking care of your pet, I would love to meet them and also have you show me around your home and/or list out any specifications or requirements. (written out instructions are definitely a preference to have on hand!) If you feel comfortable having the pet at my home, I do live in a gated community with plenty of area for walks and outside time! My home is currently run by a cat named James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser (bonus points if you know who that is) and he could not care less about dogs so he'll just deliver the constant side eye. I am very comfortable administering medicine if needed (including injections) I do require some form of flea and tick prevention - whether that be Nexgard, Seresto collar, or essential oils.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 10. I grew up with two boston terriers and a boxer. I currently have 3 pups of my own! My little lady is a 7 year old Westie mix , my big girl is a Short Haired Pointer/Pitty mix who is 5! And lastly my golden retriever Leo is 2:)! I love animals with all my heart which is why I have 3 of my own. I would love to give your animals the love that they need when you're at work or on a vacation. I am a stay at home min to two girls and a little boy! My schedule is very flexible. I am home most hours of the day and willing to leave to help out at any time. I have 3 dogs of my own that love other dogs. I also have three cats and a toddler. My yard is huge .56 acres with a 6ft fence for the dogs to run around and play. My house is the definition of animal friendly.

“Jasmine did an amazing job and kept me constantly up to date on what Jax was up to, super appreciative and will be back”

“I was very lucky to find Katrina, who sat for my dog on very short notice. I even needed a couple extra hours, and she graciously kept her for longer than agreed upon, which I am very grateful for! She responded very quickly to all communications including initial sitting request, and seems like a very nice and straightforward person... she gave me every reason to highly recommend! My dog was very calm and relaxed when I picked her up as well.”

About: ** I have been an avid dog lover from the time I was a little kid and have had the privilege of having four dogs in my life, two currently. In the past I have taken care of a wide variety of dogs, from little Chihuahuas to large Saint Bernard and Newfoundlands, and I take care of two large Great Danes re-occurringly in my home! My time caring for dogs has involved me walking them 3-4+ times a day while also spending time to socialize with them, as well as feeding them at specified times, while providing them with personal space to eat if needed in my home. Personally I have had the great opportunity to have two Yorkshire Terriers, a golden retriever, and a black mouth cur. As well as having my own dogs now, a loving mush of a pit/boxer/little bit of everything, mix and a golden retriever. I also have experience working with cats and had a cat of my own for 13 years. My desire to work with animals comes from the love I have for my own and the joy that animals bring me in general. I greatly enjoy encounters with new animals whether I'm caring for them or just simply meeting them while on a walk. **I always like to add that I do have experience with both oral medication as well as injections such as insulin, etc! I am currently working on a paralegal program for fun and other than that, I generally don’t do much outside of the house. The longest I’m usually gone is for the gym or groceries! I have a lovely fenced in yard and two amazingly sweet pups that are wonderful at keeping any and all dogs company at the times I am not home. There is also the option to crate them while I am gone (they are used to that from our previous home) if that is what you would prefer! Dogs are always welcome on the couch and to sleep in the bed, but I also completely respect keeping up with dogs that are trained not to do so.

About: I have taken care of dogs as far back as I can remember. Love walking them, playing with them, and mostly cuddling with them. My children love dogs as well, well they love all pets. Looking forward to walking your best friend even if it’s just an hour. Available after 2pm every day and able to board during the weekends. Still give them their walks so they aren’t missing home to much. Give them lots of love and attention. Kennel with going outside to work off some energy. Let them hang out with us in living room to watch a movie. Have two dogs of my own but depending on how friendly they are with each other might have to keep them separated.

About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life. I’ve been dog sitting for the last 7 years in addition to having my own dog. I work from home and I’m able to provide constant companionship to your pup. I work full time from home, so I will be a constant companion for your pup. I can be available for drop-ins or in home pet care. I am experienced in dog sitting. I’ve got 1 dog of my own, she’s a loving sweetheart. I have a fenced in yard so your pup has a playmate and a place to run around.

About: We have raised 3 different dogs together. Two of those furr babies required medical care and special diets, so we are always very attentive and careful with all pets needs! We recently lost our precious boy River, due to his liver disease and we miss his presence tremendously. So having other pets over truly helps keep us going and having a boost of morale. With that being said, we will give your pet 100% of our attention at all times. You can trust your pet will be supervised and cared for all day. At least one of us is always home to supervise when we are dog sitting so your pet is never alone. We have a small dog park at our complex for some outdoor fun time, and can provide daily walks as well to ensure they get more exercise! We have made our home safe for your dog keeping certain things out of reach. I can update you regularly with picture updates as well!

“Very kind and professional with a clean home. My dog got along great with Olivia and her dogs and I would definitely reach out again!”

“Jaeger had a good time with Reagan. He came home happy but tired. He must have gotten plenty of exercise because it takes a great deal to wear him out. We will definitely be back. Reagan was informative, kind and kept us up to date on how Jaeger was doing.”

About: As a kid I was taught responsibility by caring for our horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve had pets all my life! My mom’s cat almost died of a bacterial infection in her mouth and I’ve helped administer antibiotics to her until she got better. I had a cat who had kidney disease and needed to have IV fluids every week. My other cat had to be mouth fed with a syringe as well as monitored via thermometer up his butt. I have house and pet sit for friends and family that have multiple pets, most recently for a friend that had 6 dogs of all sizes! I am an active individual so walking will be a treat for them and me! :) I have given dogs and cats baths and also cared for dogs in heat. I have a very open and wide range of availability and I am available most days, including weekends and holidays as I rarely ever go out of town. It would be great to develop some long term relationships with new pets and their owners! Repeats are always great but not expected. I will do what I can to work with your schedule and the needs of you and your fur child. I will do my best to maintain consistency and high-level care when it comes to your pet. Each pet is different and I try to get to know each one individually in order to gain their trust and yours and provide the best care possible. Often times, I will send pictures to the pet owner, especially if it is a new client or a pet owner is out of town for an extended amount of time. I am easily reachable and try to communicate clearly about wants, needs, and scheduling. I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to providing a service, but it is not mandatory, especially for last minute bookings! We have a small yard in front and neighbors that will walk their dogs but they are all on leashes and well behaved. We live in a newer and safe community and I often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small park down the street which is nice too. We also have a fenced in backyard which can be seen from the inside of the house or the porch. We live in a one story house, but there are steps from the porch to the yard outback. My husband lives with me and has also grown up with cats and dogs. We currently have one male cat Santiago who gets along great with our male Chihuahua Juan Pablo and also got along great with my former senior Maine coon cat. He is a bit weary of strangers at first, but he will just hide until he gets to know you a bit and then you won’t be able to get him off of your lap. We have a gate in between the kitchen and the rest of the house so that the Chihuahua can have free rain to walk around and not have to be in his cage when we are not home. In the event that we have another animal in the house we can keep the Chihuahua in his cage. We also have two bedrooms and two baths that can be used to separate animals.The Chihuahua is very friendly and gets along great with the cat. He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.

“Mellow truly enjoys staying with Marisa! I feel confident about his stays with her because I know she will help him as he continues to work on his social skills. She is patient with him and is consistent in providing feedback so that I can help him in anything he is working through. I also love all the pictures and videos she sends me! Thank you, Marisa, for pulling through with the last minute changes during my move!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience at a professional boarding facility caring for over 20 dogs at once, I understand the responsibility that comes with looking after someone’s beloved pet. I treat every dog as if they were my own—because I know how hard it is to trust just anyone with your fur baby. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable experience for your pet, giving you peace of mind while they enjoy tail-wagging adventures. I am a full time student and taking the summer off. I am basically free for the summer to help out if you are not feeling well, working late, or last minute walks. I am currently only available for dog walks. The care will need to be taken place at the pet owners home. Due to my apartments restrictions.
