Dog Boarding in Texas City

Have had pets for 35 years, both dogs and cats. I will treat your pet the way I would want mine to be treated. I am available every day as I am home full time caring for my husband. We lost our dog, Piper last year and she was the love of my life. I love to walk and will walk your dog or ride a bike with them if they like to run next to a bike. Will also take your pet to parks or dogs socializing. Will take your pets for a ride in the car if they like that. I am a very caring person and would love to get another dog. Play ball, tug of war and any other activity that your pet likes

I am a Veterinary Technician and have worked with animals for over 10 yrs. Growing up I've always loved animals. I've worked in a boarding facility and in my eyes I would rather have my own babies be watched In my home so I figured others probably feel the same way. Working with animals always makes my days better, each dog or cat deserves to feel loved and get the attention they deserve in any way possible. My

Husband and I love animals and we will do anything to make them feel at home. I don't mind special request at all! I have a lot of

Owners especially pups with food allergies ask to make oatmeal or even white rice for them. I always respond with " it's there world I just cater to them!" Lol

I don't mind picking up and dropping off if that's a option for anyone, I know how tiring traveling can be!

ABOUT ME:

I am privately insured and pet first aid/CPR trained.

I love animals of all kinds. I have had dogs and cats for most of my life, and have been caring for others' pets since 2009. I have also owned birds, fish, tortoises, and turtles, and am experienced administering medication (including injections) to many types of animals.

We are a family of animal lovers. Our GSD/Siberian Husky, Quill, loves other dogs (and cats), and has earned the Canine Good Citizen title. We continue to attend training classes so we can learn new skills and stay sharp on the old ones. We also have four cats, all of whom get along with dogs. I would love to care for your pet like it was another member of my family!

ABOUT MY HOME:

In addition to giving your dog(s) lots of play time and affection, I use security cameras to keep an eye on them when I am out of the house. Because our dog used to be an avid chewer, our house is also thoroughly dog proof. We keep our toy supply stocked with durable indoor and outdoor toys including balls, Frisbees, Kongs, and Nylabones. All food, medication, cleaners, and trash stays out of reach, and we work hard to keep only dog-appropriate things on the floor. We use gates to separate dogs when needed, and all dogs are fed in separate areas to prevent resource guarding and stomach upset from getting into someoneelse's food.

We have a spacious, shady back yard with a patio, umbrella, and kiddie (doggie) pool. The dogs have lots of room to run and play, and are never left outside unattended. Our first priority is the well-being and safety of all animals in our home.

Welcome to our home! We're a couple of teachers who adopted a timid Australian Shepherd and have been hooked on dog care ever since. Stella (our first dog) was afraid of people and dogs alike, but over time we were able to show her there was so much to enjoy in the world. Thanks to our experiences rehabilitating Stella, we are especially well equipped to care for timid dogs and those for whom a kennel/boarding facility might be overwhelming.

Over the past 8 years we have been boarding in our home consistently, and we’ve cared for hundreds of dogs with unique personalities and varying energy levels. Additionally, we are privately insured through Pet Care Insurance for your pet’s wellbeing. We’d love to schedule a meet and greet to find out if we’re your dog’s perfect fit!

Please note: We have a four-year-old son at home and two cats. The cats generally keep away from guest dogs, but if your dog has a high prey drive we can enclose the cats in our guest bedroom.

My family and I love our Rover guests! I am a middle school instructional coach who grew up with beloved dogs of all sizes, from English Pointers to Pugs. My husband, Dana, works largely from home, and I am home for the summer, so your pups will have constant company. Our only child, 15-year old Jack, Dana, and I believe that our pets are members of our family, and treat them as such. We have one small, friendly, mixed breed dog that loves to play with other dogs. We also have a standard poodle- lab mix who is playful, but sweet and submissive to other dogs. Our cat is very socialized, and is a pro at becoming friends with dogs who are not used to cats. We take our dogs Winnie and Grimm, with our guest dogs, on walks on the trails near our house every evening. We are just a few blocks from a vet, and we have a huge, fully fenced, grassy yard, accessible through an extra-large dog door so that pets can choose where they’d like to be. All of our pets are on flea control meds and fully vaccinated. Your dogs will be cuddled, loved, played with....and will return to you happy!

I am a stay at home mom so I am home most of the time and I love dogs. Your small to medium sized dog (35 lbs and under) will be treated as part of the family and play with my dog Sparky who loves having new friends to play and run around with.

I'm excited to welcome your precious pet into my home and help you be at ease knowing they're well cared for and having fun while you're away. I know nothing can keep you from missing your pet, but a confidence in them being comfortable and loved while you're gone is a great help.

You can look forward to picture updates from me letting you know how your pet is doing on a daily basis and all the fun they are having.

Our backyard is fairly large and you can have the peace of mind knowing that your pet will have the freedom to run around and play with our dog Sparky and our family. We live just down the street from our community park where we like to go for walks.

I will feed your pet on his or her schedule and make them feel welcome and comforted. We drink filtered water and we think our pets deserve that too.

If you would like to schedule a free Meet and Greet, just click on the "Request a Free Meet and Greet" on my profile. A Meet and Greet is a way for all of us to meet to give you peace of mind that you're choosing the right person!

Please make sure your dog is completely up to date on vaccinations.

I prefer to take small to medium sized dogs up to 35 lbs since my dog is on the small side.

There are discounts for multiple pets.

Note: I love cats too and offer cat visits at your home! I’m happy to visit your kitty while you’re away to feed and give some loving care.

I have been a dog owner for many years. I have had small, medium and large dogs over the years and they have been treated like family members. I am an experienced Dog Walker and have Great References. I can also help with feeding, water, bedding and medication needs. I also have experience with deaf, blind and Senior dogs. I understand their special needs and they will be able to sense my patience & compassion and will feel at ease around me. I not only walk and feed your pet, I get to know them and their Unique Personalities. I love all animals so if they have feline friends in the home, they will not be ignored. All animals deserve TLC. I am available weekdays and weekends.

I live in a house with a large, securely fenced yard. I've been in animal rescue for many years, so my dogs are accustomed to meeting new dogs and they enjoy welcoming them into our home. I have veterinary tech experience, I can care for special needs and senior dogs. I can give oral or injectable medication, if needed. We will love your dog as if they are our own, so you won't need to worry about them while you are traveling. While you are on vacation, your dog will also be enjoying his/her own vacation.

Why I love dog sitting

I have loved animals since I was a small child. My first rescue was when I was 13 years old, a cat who had kittens under the neighbors house. My parents allowed me to care for her and her kittens while she was nursing. When the kittens were old enough, my parents arranged for the local non-profit shelter to take her and the kittens so they could be adopted into homes. I cried all the way home, but, I'm thankful for that experience because it taught me that I can help them, love them and then let them go. I've worked in animal rescue in my community for over 25 years as a volunteer, fundraiser, and a founding board member of a very successful non-profit organization in my area. That organization operates a low cost spay/neuter clinic. Currently, I rescue and foster, primarily Boston Terriers, but I will help any dog or cat in need that crosses my path.

Meet my pets

I have a large fenced back yard. Plenty of room for your dog to romp and play with my dogs. My 3 dogs love to make new friends. Since I rescue dogs, my dogs are accustomed to welcoming new dogs into the house and showing them the ropes. My only house rules are that everyone must get along and potty breaks are outside only. Of course, accidents sometimes happen inside occasionally, I have ceramic tile floors so it's easy to clean up. When I am away from the house all dogs are crated separately for safety. I do work full time Mon-Fri so everyone will be crated while I'm gone. At my house dogs are allowed on the couch but are crated at night. I have vet tech experience so I can care for special needs and senior dogs. I have grooming experience so if you'd like to have your dog bathed, nails trimmed and/or a hair trimmed during his/her stay we can do that, too. We are waiting to hear from you!

About my yard

I have a large, securely fenced yard. There's plenty of room to run and play. I've found that many of my foster dogs enjoy sunning themselves on my patio.

My experience administering medication

I previously worked at a veterinary clinic, so, I can administer both oral and injectable medication and I am comfortable caring for special needs dogs.

I am a total animal lover! I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, and lizards. I even have professional experience caring for Aquariums, Reptiles, and Spiders.

Pets will be let out a MINIMUM of 2x each day to ensure proper care and exercise. I can stop by in the morning and afternoon/evening, yet I am flexible.

I have animals of my own and understand the importance of finding the best care for them while you are away. I can send you updates and pictures while you are out, so you can have peace of mind.

I have been pet sitting since I was small. I also have have experience with training and noticing animal behavior changes quickly.

I will do anything to make sure your time away is stress free for you and your pet.

I love all animals big and small. I have a calm and caring nature that most dogs and cats gravitate to. I am responsible and I will treat your baby like I treat my own...with tender loving care. I have never met a pet that I did not soon become friends with. I will give your baby lots of extra attention so they will not be lonely while you are away. I will get to know your pet and make sure he or she is well taken care of. I love to work with dogs and get them to practice any tricks that they have been taught. I used to take training classes with some of my dogs before which was alot of fun to do. I do not host any animals that are not fixed. They must be neutered or spayed in order for me to have them in my home.
