Pet Sitting in Sandy Hollow-Escondidas

“Ingrid spent a lot of time interacting with my four dogs at every visit. She made sure they had plenty of outside playtime. One was a newly rescued stray that although lovable was quite a handful. She was completely unfazed. The dogs finished every visit with her happy and relaxed. She took care of the cats also and even my shy kitty warmed up to her. I will definitely use Ingrid again for our next trip.”

About: My experience includes house and dog sitting for my grandparents, who have 2 dogs, as well as my sister, who has 3 dogs. I also have grown up with pets in my house my entire life. I am currently a full-time college athlete who would love to help you with your pet. During the offseason, I am available most afternoons, nights, and weekends. I care for every pet with loving compassion offering snuggles and treats. I enjoy teaching dogs new tricks. I have taught mine to sit, stay, lay down, rollover, shake, high five, and speak.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently own a miniature schnauzer, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love they need. I also have experience pet sitting for others, caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure your dog feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m currently attending school online, which allows me to be home full-time and provide consistent care and attention for your pets. Because of this, I have very open and flexible availability throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Your pet will never be left alone and will receive complete supervision, playtime, and care during their stay. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play and get exercise, as well as a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys having company. I always supervise interactions to make sure everyone stays safe and happy. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. If your dog is crate-trained or you prefer they be crated at certain times, I’m more than happy to accommodate that. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions carefully to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

“Mary is such a great sitter! Kept my cats fed and safe, will definitely be hiring her again, highly recommend!”

“Jerica did a fantastic job with our fur babies! She was prompt, spent plenty of time with our pets every day and sent us plenty of updates. Our dogs and cats loved her and we are going to continue to use her anytime we need someone to watch our animals for us. I would recommend her to everyone!”

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, dogs, cats, birds, turtles, etc! I’m a huge believer that they’re like family! I had a dog of my own for most of my life that was blind and diabetic, so I’m familiar with taking care of dogs of old age and medical care. I currently work as a flight attendant as well so my schedule varies week to week! I typically have spans on days on/off that make it easy for me to take care of your pets for several days! I live in an apartment that has sidewalks and grass all around, it’s a pet friendly complex:) I have no other pets or children that affect the environment. I’m also nearby a jogging trail that I love to take pets on for walks!

About: Since I was a teen I've taken care of my neighbors' dogs and cats every now and then. I've house sat and done drop in visits so I have plenty of experience. I did a birds and small mammals internship at the Waco zoo in summer of 2023 so I have a bit of exotic animal care experience if it is needed. I'm working full time right now but so far the shifts aren't super long so I have time to feed and take out any pets that I need to take care of. I take very good care of any pets I need to. I pay attention to my own, and others. I will love on them, give you updates, and check in with any questions I have so I can provide the best care possible.

“Very sweet young lady who caught on quickly to the special instructions for feeding our 5 dogs.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own pups for three years now and have trained my own service dog. I am currently training my Blue Heeler who is reactive, I’m equipped for well behaved and unbehaved dogs. I’m currently unemployed but this is helping me reach my goal of getting my dog training certification. Any time, any hour: I’m able to take care of your pups. At your home your dog won’t be left totally alone for more than two hours under my care. I know for senior dogs and puppies this is even more important to make sure they are able to go out.

About: What sets me apart is my six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, combined with formal animal hospital training. My passion began when I got my first puppy, whom I personally trained in potty training and basic commands such as sit, spin, and catch. Over time, I also gained experience managing multiple dogs in a household, learning how to balance different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. During these times, I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, medication administration, and general companionship. I plan my day to prioritize pets’ needs, ensuring they get consistent care, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I currently provide pet care exclusively at my clients' homes because I already have pets at my own residence, and I'm not permitted to bring in more. While at my clients' homes, I tailor my care for their dogs based on their specific preferences. Regular updates on their pets are a priority for me, and I always communicate promptly with clients if I have any questions regarding their pets.

“Lily was amazing!! She took great care of my dog and sent many cute photos throughout the visit!! She also was able to accommodate a late request.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup is a playful puppy still learning the ropes or a senior dog needing extra love and patience, I’ve got the experience and heart to meet their unique needs. 🐶 Special Skills: Experienced in basic puppy training, crate acclimation, and potty routines Gentle, attentive care for senior dogs — including medication reminders, slow walks, and extra cuddles Comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels Can administer oral medications and special diets Daily updates and photos so you feel connected every step of the way! Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a long work trip, you can rest easy knowing your best friend is in caring, capable hands. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to get to know you and your furry family member! 🐕💛 Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine — not an add-on, but something I genuinely look forward to. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning potty breaks, mid-day walks, or calm evening cuddle time. I plan my schedule to make sure each dog gets consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I work from home (or have a flexible schedule), which allows me to give pets the time, patience, and presence they need — especially important for puppies who need structure or senior dogs who need a gentle pace. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s part of who I am. I prioritize their well-being as I would a family member’s, and I’m always tuned in to changes in behavior, mood, or energy that might need a little extra attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, comfort, and keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. 🐾 In My Home: I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of cozy spaces for naps, indoor play, and supervised outdoor time (if applicable). I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets personal attention. I follow your feeding and potty schedule, administer any needed meds, and send daily updates with photos so you know your pet is happy and relaxed. 🐾 In Your Home: I treat your home with the same respect and care I give to your pet. I keep things tidy, stick to your dog’s normal routine — walks, feeding, bedtime rituals — and make sure your pet feels safe in their familiar surroundings. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or do other light tasks while you're away. Every pet is different, so I always ask detailed questions before a booking to learn their habits, quirks, and what makes them feel safe and loved.
