About: I’ve watched dogs for years now. I have two of my own and love them as if they were my own children. I will make sure your dog is under the best possible care and do what I can to make sure your pet is safe and happy. Life would be empty without my doggos! I have a part time coffee shop job but am available pretty much all day long. I can send daily updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day! I have a fenced yard with a lot of space for the dogs to run around in. I have a box of dog toys and endless treats for all the pups! My house is also pet friendly and nothing dangerous is ever left out for the dogs to get into. I will also let your dog out a minimum of 2-3 times a day and will give your dog the same care I would give my own

I have cared for young puppies as well as senior dogs and am able to handle a clear medication regimen. I have lots of patience and am excited to meet your fur baby! I currently am finishing my dissertation so I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to move my writing and work to fit my needs.

I am not currently able to board any pets in my home but I am able to stop by, talk pets on walks, and spend some time with them depending on the individual needs. I understand how important it is for my safety and for the pet’s safety to respect their space, pace, and disposition.

About: Hi, I’m Emma! I’ve taken care of pets for my family, friends, and neighbors for years. I grew up with dogs throughout my life, and am now a cat-owner, so I have experience living with and caring for both! I love getting to know each animal’s distinct personality and building a relationship with them! Whether shy, snuggly, or playful, I love finding ways to connect with them personally. I have cared for many animals with specialized dietary needs, and feel confident administering oral and topical medications. I look forward to providing the same level of care for your sweet pet as I would for my own! I’m a recent BFA graduate from TTU, teaching after school voice lessons to children. I love giving back to the community, and building both functional and personal relationships with those around me! Since I work with children outside of school hours, I typically don’t start work until after 3pm, and the day ends when it gets dark (8-9pm). This gives me free time in the morning, early afternoon, and night to care for your pet. I am so happy to give your pet love and attention, and pride myself on reading animal’s emotions well so that I can keep them calm and happy while you’re away! I’ve cared for both dogs and cats in my home by ensuring they get proper exercise, lots of play time, gentle snuggles, and plenty of treats- your pet will be no exception! I pride myself on maintaining a clean environment for pets, which means meticulous litter care/waste management, refreshed food and water bowls, and necessary grooming. For pets with aggressive or reclusive tendencies, I offer a gentle and slow approach, letting them get to know me as I get to know them. I believe all pets deserve patience and respect as we learn each other’s boundaries, and I am absolutely willing to take the time to build a relationship with your pet on their terms! All pets deserve a calm and loving environment- I will take any and all steps available to ensure their safety and comfort!

“Our initial meet up made me feel grate about having Desiree check in on my gal! She covered all the basis when going over instructions, even things I didn't think of. Definitely would rebook!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals. I have cared for my own cat with a heart condition, which has given me experience administering medications and closely monitoring an animal’s health and comfort. I have also taken care of my grandmother’s and my boyfriend’s dogs. Since I was a child, I have loved and cared for animals. I once rescued a snake and a pigeon, and I also lived on a farm where I helped care for horses. These experiences have made me very patient, attentive, and passionate about making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently a student, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets. I am available for boarding on weekends and during weekdays. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules and medications if needed, and make sure every pet receives attention and care.
