About: My family has been fostering pets for years, and I’ve cared for many types of dogs, from senior dogs who are blind or unable to walk to newborn litters of puppies. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels, from very outgoing to very timid. In addition to fostering, I’ve helped care for my two labradoodles for the past nine years. As a high school senior, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of time after school and on weekends to give pets the attention and care they need. I can easily fit feeding, playtime, walks, and check-ins into my daily routine and always make pet care a priority. I will keep the client informed and up to date about their pet, and be sure to thoroughly follow all pet care instructions. I will also ensure each pet gets the proper care and attention they need.
“Jazmine did an amazing job with checking in with me. She spent time with my kitten who warmed up to her quickly. We know animals have a good sense of who’s a beautiful soul. She went above and beyond by sending me pictures of my baby. I didn’t have to worry once while being away. Thank you Jazmin!”


“Nadine was quick to respond. She took care of my two cats, one of whom requires oral medication twice a day. Nadine came over before our trip to meet the boys and see how I give meds. She was flexible with our scheduling and had great communication. Will re-book.”

“Leo was great with Tony and Vincent! He sent pictures while I was away and they looked comfortable and happy with him. He also sent messages regarding eating and pooping of Vincent, who was having some issues. The house was clean, no surprises. I am very grateful with Leo as pet sitter during last 4 days.”

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life, from playful puppies and senior dogs to energetic cats and small animals. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just keeping your pet company, I approach every animal with patience, love, and attention to detail. I understand that each pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions to keep them safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and work hard to build trust with both pets and their people. I’m a PhD student at UTEP, and during the summer, I work from home—which means I have a flexible schedule and am available most of the time for pet care. Since my research and coursework are self-paced right now, I can easily plan my day around walks and drop-ins. Caring for pets adds a fun and fulfilling break to my routine, and I love having the chance to spend time with animals while providing dependable, loving care. Your pet will get my full attention and care throughout the day! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, playtime routines, or giving medication. I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and mental stimulation while you’re away. I also keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide peace of mind and ensure your pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar space.

About: I would like to describe myself as empathetic. I Adapt well after a while, and I love any breed! Very competent in the job and enjoy it very much! I would structure my pet care availability around my schedule with the El Paso Chihuahuas, ensuring I’m fully committed to both responsibilities. Limited availability home games depending if I work mornings or afternoons. Off weeks or lighter game schedules, I would have much more open availability, allowing me to take on additional bookings and provide more dedicated time for each pet. I would coordinate those shifts in advance to maintain a reliable pet care routine. During my free time, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love the opportunity to care for them, making sure they receive attention, exercise, and a safe, comfortable environment. I ask the client about their own routines to adapt well with your dog and stick to familiarity. I try to give as much bonding time as I’m allowed and give space when needed.

About: ⭐️Description⭐️ I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments; anxious dogs, seniors, puppies, and pets that needed medication. I’ve pet sat German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Border Collie puppies, a Welsh Corgi, a Poodle, and many mixed breeds. I also have experience with cats and kittens. I’m comfortable handling dogs that need extra care. My own dog, Molly (a Lhasa Apso), had epilepsy, so I’m experienced with seizures, medication schedules, and staying calm during emergencies. I’ve also worked through behavioral challenges. One of my Chihuahuas was a rescue with aggression issues, and through patience and consistency, she became calm and affectionate. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away. —————————————— 🌟🐕 Services 🐈🌟 —————————————— 🚪 Drop-ins 🚪 I’ll follow your instructions carefully, make sure your pet is fed, drinking water, comfortable, and of course spending time with them so they don't feel alone. 🦮 Walks 🦮 Walks will follow your preferred route, distance, and pace to match your dog's need for whatever you see as sufficient. 🏠 House Sitting 🏠 I'll respect your home and your pet's routine.
