Dog Sitting Shallowater

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets of all personalities and needs. In addition to household pets, I’ve also raised cattle and goats through FFA, which has given me a strong foundation in responsibility, patience, and working with animals that require daily care and attention. This experience has taught me how to stay consistent, follow instructions closely, and notice small changes in animal behavior or health. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” animals, I genuinely care for them and understand how to handle both calm and more challenging situations. Whether it’s feeding, cleaning, walking, or just spending time with them, I make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine since I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. I’m used to helping with feeding, cleaning, and general care for pets at home, and I also make time for walking, playing, and checking in on their needs regularly. I attend school from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and I sometimes have a few responsibilities after school, but I’m pretty flexible and good at managing my time. Through FFA, I previously raised cattle and goats, which taught me responsibility, consistency, and how important it is to stick to a care routine and pay attention to animals’ needs. School will be ending soon, so I will be even more available and flexible during the summer, which will allow me to take on more pet sitting opportunities and give pets more consistent care and attention. In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I make sure to follow all instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, and any medications if needed. I also spend time with the pets to give them attention, playtime, and companionship based on their personality and comfort level. I always make sure to keep their space clean, safe, and respected, and I check in on them consistently so they feel cared for and not alone. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

“Nadia was a huge help and very attentive with our pup. Her dogs were also great with Revan, and he had a great time! Came home tuckered out lol.”

About: I have always had some type of pet ever since I was little, whether that be dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, you name it! I love animals and have always been entrusted to be the main caretaker of all my family pets and have learned all different tips and tricks to make sure every animal is loved and cared for while their fur parents are away. I worked in the UC Davis Animal Science Department as a student resident, which meant I lived in a barn with animals 24/7! I have been taught by UC Davis veterinarians how to administer treatments and medicines, and have always been the first to call from my friends who need someone to take care of their pets while they are away. I am comfortable with active dogs, puppies, couch potatoes, or anything that just needs a cuddle every now and then. I have a lot of experience with bully breeds and high-maintenance coats, especially bulldogs, I've had 3 as family dogs! I just love dogs and cats and can assure you that I will make sure your loved one gets the care, attention, and love they deserve. I work with livestock animals and have raised sheep, goats, and cattle for about 7 years now. I am comfortable with horses and any other large animals you may have. I can also provide a helping hand around a ranch or farm if needed and trained to work in all different conditions. If you have a flock of chickens that need to get fed, pens to be mucked while you are away, or any small chores I would love to discuss different rates to ensure that all your animals are cared for! I am a current grad student at Tech and a massive animal lover and have a relatively flexible schedule to fit your needs. I am available most mornings and all evenings, and since I am from California, I usually stay around Lubbock for most major holidays. I am willing to bring your furry friends to my home or house sit! I am also willing to provide transportation to dog parks if needed. While I am at your home, however, I ask that I have access to internet access for overnight stays. Other than that, I am very flexible in terms of living arrangements, I have experience with crate training if that is what your family practices. I am a vigilant, responsible individual who will provide the best of care for your family.

“She was excellent with my two old boys. Very responsive to any questions and giving daily updates! Will be using her very soon again. Don’t question, just give her a chance to watch your fur baby!”

About: I’m an Animal Science student at Texas Tech with hands-on experience caring for and training dogs. I understand animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to keep pets safe and comfortable. I have experience working with different temperaments, including energetic dogs and more anxious pets. I’ve also worked at a pet hotel, where I handled onboarding, daily care, walks, pet runs, potty breaks, and enrichment activities. This role taught me how to manage multiple dogs at once, read behavior cues, and safely step in when needed—including breaking up conflicts. I consistently maintained a safe environment and never had any issues under my care. I take pet care seriously and focus on providing a safe, calm, and loving environment. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, walks, or just giving your pet attention and companionship, I make sure they feel at home while you’re away. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to treating every pet like my own. I currently work part-time, but my hours have been reduced, so I’m looking to gain more hands-on experience in animal behavior and animal science while earning additional income. Because of this, I have a very flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends with prior confirmation. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and accommodating to your pet’s needs and routine. I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client’s home. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and overall well-being to ensure pets feel secure and stress-free. At home, I care for my own cat, who has access to a stimulating and enriching environment with plenty of toys, scratchers, and high-quality treats, including freeze-dried options like shrimp, minnows, and chicken hearts. I maintain a clean space by regularly cleaning the litter box every 1–3 days using natural, fragrance-free litter. He also has access to a stainless steel water fountain with a filter to promote clean, bacteria-free water, and I support his health with a balanced dry diet supplemented with salmon oil. This level of care reflects how I treat every pet—paying attention to detail, maintaining cleanliness, and making sure their physical and emotional needs are met.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes since for 8 years now. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I also have two pugs of my own, so I understand routines, patience, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. I have also helped my female pug give birth on my own and delivered 6 healthy puppies on my own! I always treat every pet like family. I’m a full-time college student and work part-time on weekends, giving me flexibility during the week. My schedule can be flexible, and earlier arrangements can be made if needed. I provide a safe, calm, and closely supervised environment and always follow each pet’s routine and instructions. My two pugs are very friendly with other dogs and have been crate trained since they were puppies. I introduce pets slowly, supervise all interactions, and can crate or separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure.

“Ciera (and her partner) took care of our kitties when we were travelling and did an amazing job! They were very punctual and sent us frequent updates of the cats, including photos and videos. They made sure to give every kitty attention and even got Nomnom to come out of hiding! Ciera was easy to communicate with and replied to messages promptly. Above all, she and her partner are very nice people and we would definitely have them look after our cats again. :)”

About: My family has cared for animals since I was young. I interned during high school at a veterinary clinic and now I have a job at a household pets boarding facility. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I get the chance to allow the furry pet I am walking and myself to destress on a fun walk I keep an I out on all pets because of the experience I have with all of the animals I take care of trying to eat something off the floor I did not catch first and r when they try to nibble on furniture. I like to work mental stimulation on my dog when I notice they are getting angsty.

“Alexis did a fantastic job taking care of our dog and two cats. She was always on time for feedings, made sure the animals had plenty of water, and cleaned the litter boxes regularly. More importantly, she played with our very needy fur babies. We will definitely book Alexis again when we travel.”

“Judy was wonderful! Our little kitty was happy and in perfect shape when we returned home. Judy kept us notified about her throughout our trip and sent us photos of Graycie eating, playing, and climbing on her cat tree. She even noticed our refrigerator was acting up and moved perishables to our other refrigerator. We definitely want Judy to keep our kitty again.”
