About: I have 30+ years of dog experience. I have a Doberman who is high energy and strong! .I am very comfortable walking small or large dogs as I have owned both! My kids are grown, so I have some time to get to know your precious babies! I can administer meds and will make sure I communicate before, during and after the visit. My goal is to make sure you and your pets are comfortable and happy! I have also dealt with leash aggression and my dog chasing lizards on walks, so I don’t expect perfection. Rather, I expect us to be friends and get to know each other! I do not work and am open for walks and drop ins! I would love to get to know your babies! I am a morning person and love to exercise! I would love to make your life easier while getting to know your precious pet! I also have experience walking multiple dogs together. I am trustworthy and will make sure to follow your instructions. I will make sure your pets are safe and will be a great communicator and send lots of photos!

About: ✳️ No holiday upcharge ✳️Guaranteed daily check-ins and photos for all stays While I am new to Rover, I am extremely familiar with dogs. I foster with 2 different non profit agencies and actually have 3 pups of my own. Aka the stooges or the 3 musketeers as I call them. My own dogs range in size from 13lbs to 105lbs and in age from 3 years to 9 years. All were raised from a puppy stage so I have experience with that stage, too. DOGS LIKE TO LEARN: I am not a professional trainer but have taken what I’ve learned from putting my own 3 through training and applied to foster and visiting pups. You’re welcome to pick something from the list and I’d be happy to start the training with your dog on these! This includes the following: - walking on a dedicated side when in leash (you pick left or right) - heel - sit - place ( huge on this since it allows dogs to settle their anxiousness) - short distance recall - whistle training - clicker training - treat training - spin - roll over - army crawl - leave it - off - take it - break (release from place) - paw - kennel - lay down - drop it - wait (helpful for dogs who like to rush out the door before you) - watch me (helps me out eye contact and focus) - sit before owner opens kennel YOUR PUP: will be treated as one of my own with any additional instructions you provide. I have a full time work from home job that allows me to be with my dogs as much as I’d like. I work my schedule around my dogs meaning I workout when it’s their exercise time or I run errands during their usual down time. I rarely if ever watch tv because I end up spending so much time with my pups routine and care. I truly enjoy it! My home: I have a quarter acre fenced property with a huge covered patio for dogs to enjoy in shade. There are child gates set up within my home to keep dogs in designated areas. This ensures my pups or fosters have access to water stations and dog door for yard access when needed. Yes, I have a dog door that accommodates for dogs up to 130lbs. I have 3 water stations set up in my home and dedicated kennels for our larger and smaller pups when needed. If needed, I am Happy to crate my pups while yours is being cared for in my mentioned care rotation. They are very used to both kennel and out of kennel routines as I have had foster dogs in my home. For dogs with mobility issues that still want to get out and about, I have a dog trailer / stroller that allows them to lay inside a shaded area while still seeing the outdoors. Your home: house sitting and check-ins include more than just your pups care and I’m happy to offer these: - Check mail / sign for any packages - plant care - lights to leave on - any light household chores (vacuum, dishes, laundry, surface cleaning, trash takeout) - being present for any home maintenance appts while you’re away (to match scheduled stay) - communicating w/ any visitors while you’re away (want me to lie to your nosey neighbors? Need me to tell a regular solicitor some info?)
“Deonna was a blessing to have sitting both of our cats! She was very thorough following my care instructions and bonded with one of my more shy and timid felines pet 🐈.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life, I have trained all of the puppies my family has had. I have worked as a kennel tech for 6 months, so I can take care of dogs at any stages of life from puppies to senior dogs. Working at a kennel has taught me how to administer medication, read body language and notice if they are going to have a heat stroke since it does get pretty hot here in Texas. I work as a part time kennel tech so I can be able to take care of your furry friends anytime after 2:00pm so I have a pretty open schedule. I live on property that is fenced. We have multiple dogs on our property that are outside most of the time during the day. At clients homes I can make sure your dog does gets to go outside at least 5 times a day.
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs of all ages for 5+ years, including high-energy puppies and senior pets with special needs. I love all animals, including the ones that are a hand full. Lastly, I treat every pet like family, providing attentive care, playtime, and cuddles to make them feel loved. I’m always making sure I get everything I completed, and out of the way so that I can go entertain animals, and use my free time taking care of animals whenever I can. I ensure a safe, pet friendly environment with plenty of space to roam and play, secure fencing, and no harmful objects within reach. Caring for Pets in the Client’s Home: • Comfort of Familiarity: I follow your pet’s routine exactly as you do to maintain a sense of normalcy and reduce stress. • Household Respect: I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring it’s as clean and tidy as when you left. • Regular Updates: I keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel reassured while you’re away. • Extra Services: I’m happy to handle additional tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or keeping an eye on your home while you’re gone.
About: I am a very reliable, mature person. Because I am a teacher, I am home during the day for the summer, holidays, and weekends. Your pet will gets lots of love and attention. I have experience caring for my friends, neighbors, and children's pets. I am THAT person that will see you and ask if I can pet your dog. :) I am a teacher, so I have the summer and holidays off. Your pet will get extra love and attention. I also walk daily, so if your fur baby needs walking, I am happy to do that. I have a fenced yard. I also have two small dogs. One is older and not too active, but he loves all dogs! My other one is a 6lbs Yorkie who thinks she is 100lb. She loves to play with other dogs, the bigger the better.
