Doggy Day Care in Schwertner

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: 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!

“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: 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.

“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’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!

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.

About: I've been a dog mom to multiple pups over the years. Plenty of time spoiling them and taking them out on adventures. Sadie and I love hiking and kayaking, or just strolling through the neighborhood. I currently work from home and make my own schedule, so I can easily adjust it to your needs. This leaves plenty of room to hang with my sweet dog and hopefully yours as well. I have a fenced yard and a sweet shorkie that would love play time with your sweet dog. I can keep them separated or allow them to play depending on your comfort level.

About: I’ve loved and cared for pets my entire life! Growing up, we always had multiple dogs in our home. We had a big family with our fur babies! Your fur babe will be in amazing hands with me 🫶 I’m currently at home full time and ready to watch your babies anytime you need. I’m flexible and adjustable to your needs! Im the person who will stop and ask to pet your dog. 😄 I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space for the fur babes to run around. I have a boxer who loves to play with other dogs and will keep your fur baby burning lots of energy.

“It was our first time ever using rover and our first time leaving our dogs with a stranger. Marissa made sure we felt secure and eased our worries. She provided pictures with updates and took such good care of my babies and carefully took into consideration my notes. I definitely recommend her. If I am ever in the area again and need her services I will contact her first! Thank you so much it meant so much to be able to enjoy our day knowing our babies were being taken very good care of.”

“They were very flexible to watch our dog on a Sunday and flexible with tie time. They made our dog feel comfortable with them and followed instructions on feeding and potty breaks. We would use them again when in town.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t live without them. My specialty is caring for senior (7+yrs old) dogs but I love all ages. I’m currently retired and very flexible with scheduling. I have volunteered regularly at a senior dog sanctuary for 4 years to onboard and train new volunteers. I have a fenced yard and only one small dog friendly Yorkie in residence. I used to work for a Christian ministry so very trustworthy.

About: I have plenty of experience caring for and walking dogs. I've been a dog owner my entire life and I volunteer at the local animal shelter once a week, which has given me lots of hands-on time with different breeds and sizes of dogs. I'm currently a college student at Hutson tiltson university in Austin, Texas who does online and is available mostly every day and can do any service !. I would Be patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or scared. Pets are sensitive to change and may be missing their people; maintain their schedule as much as possible. When the pet are feeling comfortable, send pictures to the client, letting them know you're giving them extra attention.

“We took our two boys for a day outing, as we are leaving them with Candi for a week while we are out of town here in a couple weeks and wanted to make sure they were familiar with her and her place before we leave them for that long. They had a blast…I know because they were pooped when they got home! We are looking forward to knowing that they will be loved and well taken care of for our future trip and I know they will be excited to go back! Candi was also VERY responsive to my messages, which I highly appreciate! Definitely the best doggie resort!”

About: Hello, I’m Brad! I cannot wait to spoil and pamper your dog. I am a small business owner who works 100% of the time from my home office. Additionally, my mother, who is retired, is home all day too. Dogs visiting my house will be treated as family members. Home full time, I will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention he deserves while staying with me. Take a look at my photos to check out my home and fully fenced-in yard to see where your dog would be spending his doggy vacation. My home, near Hutto Elementary and Middle Schools, is in a new, quiet neighborhood with plenty of walking trails nearby. My yard is spacious with new grass and a covered patio to provide both sunny and shaded play areas. The price listed is for a 24 hour stay for a dog weighing up to 44 lbs. It would be $35 for a dog weighing 45-94 lbs. Having undergone advanced screening, I have been met face-to-face and my home has been inspected. I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)!

About: Hi, I'm Amanda. I am a mama to a little boy, a doggie named Jade (perfect for every personality) and a kitty that is over the age of 14 (both love all animals. Very unique kitty). I absolutely love animals in all forms. I have had animals since i was 8. All the way up until my son was born, I use to rescue animals from undesirable situations, clean them up and find them wonderful homes. All of my personal pets have had special needs in different ways. I love all animals and believe highly that they are all special. I would love to treat your baby as if they are our own. I'll be reliable in any way you need me to be. I also have my dog trainer license, specialize in body language and am great at showing them that they are safe, loved and part of the family. I am a stay at home mother who does this full time so my routines are based solely on what you and your pet need it to be during the day (they get absolutely spoil and I do it with joy. Making them happy is what i love). Please verify drop off and pick up times. Times scheduled are so so important for our scheduling, other drop offs, pick ups, dr appointments, etc. Traveling can me unpredictable, so unpredictable changes are understandable, as long as it is communicated. 😊😊 I have a fenced in yard for your baby(ies) to play and to use to restroom without restrictions. Your baby's food schedule is baised on what you need it to be. My job is to spoil your baby and that's my focus. We give cuddles, treats and love.

“Thanks for being so accommodating and quick responses. Loved getting pics throughout the day. Yeti had tons of fun!!”

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.
