“Selena was able to watch our fur babies on fairly short notice in our home. Our babies seemed to like her and they were in good spirits upon our return home. We would use Selena again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets for almost a decade- I’m confident and able to feed, walk, play with, and take great care of your pet. Many tail wags, purrs, and cuddles guaranteed! I had a dog growing up and a cat now, so I’m very used to having a pet in my home and the many responsibilities that come along with taking care of them. I genuinely enjoy being there for my pets because no matter what, they always make my days better. My pets have always been well-fed and exercised, both contributing to their overall health and well-being. I make sure to clean up any messes if anything happens and will always leave the house better than I found it!

About: I am an experienced veterinary technician with a passion for animals. I’ve never met a creature I didn’t like! ❤️ I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and breeds and am even doggy cpr certified. I always treat other people’s animals like my own, so you can rest assured that your fur babies are in good hands! My schedule is fairly flexible over weekends and holidays. I also offer home visits for special needs patients that may need medications or fluids administered. I always have pet owners take the lead. There is no such thing as “high maintenance” and am happy to oblige any pet parent requests Taking care of animals is part of my daily routine at home and at work and I enjoy every single minute of it. There is no such thing as a needy pet or pet parent. I treat all pets with patience and compassion. I understand that all pets are unique in how they communicate with us and am always willing to take the extra time to make sure they’re comfortable.

“Kateland was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us! She is an excellent communicator and provided updates, videos, and photos throughout her time caring for our pets. It’s an added bonus that she is in veterinary school, and I felt extra confident knowing she was with our pets. We would definitely rebook with Kateland!”

About: Struggling with your dog? Need help but don't have the time or money for traditional training? I'm here for you! I'm a biologist and experienced, science-based dog trainer who can care for and train your pet while you're away. I offer affordable and adaptable services, saving you money by combining your pet sitter, dog walker, and trainer into one person. Whether you prefer in-person or virtual training, we'll find the right fit for you. I've worked with all kinds of dogs and can handle a broad variety of issues and goals. Each pet is unique, and I enjoy understanding their learning style and communication. I provide top-notch care, ensuring your pets receive love and play even when you're not around. I offer feedback, tips, and games to enhance your role as a pet parent. Rest assured, I rely on scientific knowledge and can interpret your pet's behavior accurately. My dog training story: Four years ago I brought a big black smush home for a bath between adoption events. When I lay down for bed, he lay his head on my chest and I fell in love. As he came out of his shell, I found he had numerous behavioral issues stemming from trauma including severe separation anxiety, human reactivity, and general anxiety. I spent hundreds of hours pouring over veterinary journals, soaking up seminars, and dedicating myself to helping dogs and owners who have lost hope. Bruce, the black smush, has gone from having panic attacks when I touched a door knob to happily letting me go on a week long vacation. He makes friends with strange men, manages his own stress levels, and tackles new challenges with a joy and confidence we never thought he would experience. Every day, he’s a testament to what science based dog training can do. I’ve worked with dogs of every kind from pedigreed Golden Retrievers to backyard mutts and I’ve seen every issue in the book. Every pet is incredibly unique and one of my favorite parts of training is learning how each animal learns and communicates what they need. I'm here to make sure that even when you're gone, your pets are receiving the same level of love and play that they get from those who love them the most. Dogs are always either learning or unlearning, it’s my job to make sure it’s fun and improves your life long after I leave! Let me know what kind of care you're looking for and we can talk about what I can give you and your pets to make every long work day, vacation, or emergency absence a happy, fun experience. In addition to working your pets mind in fun, exciting ways, I can also let you know after our visit exactly what we did and give you tips and games to help you be the best pet parent you can be. Learning in small chunks like this makes progress accessible and sustainable. You can rest assured you’re getting scientifically sound information from someone who can read your pet's behavior to know exactly what they need. Before you know it, you’ll be the parent your pet always wanted you to be! In emergencies, I have extensive experience handling various medical situations. I've assisted with surgeries, supported births, and provided critical care. You can trust me to act swiftly and intelligently to give your pet the best possible chance. Additional Qualifications: BS in Biology with Honors from Texas State University 10% discount for foster pets Extensive experience in high level sports recovery and senior care Training from a Certified Equine and Canine Massage Therapist 13 years of experience in animal behavior, medical care, and farm management *Heat* I prioritize your pet's safety, especially in extreme temperatures. I manage heat stress, adjust activities and routes accordingly, and ensure access to water and breaks. I also take precautions to protect your pet's paws from hot surfaces. You may notice your pet's walks becoming shorter in the summer, this is so I can ensure they're safely cool before I leave and we can quickly return home if needed. Requesting bookings earlier is greatly appreciated and makes it more likely I’ll be able to fit you in. I can accommodate early morning and late night visits. I know just how important having a safe, quiet environment can be for dogs when something big changes. I constantly monitor their behavior and adapt to their needs in the moment!

“Amanda was great! She not only dog sat but house sat, too. It was assuring to know that someone was not only watching Hannah but the house as well. She arranged a meet and greet prior to sitting. While we were away she kept us updated and sent pics of Hannah. We’re going to use her again this weekend!”
