“We're so grateful for Kimberlee! This is the longest time we've been away from our Mia, but she had the best time during her stay. 🫶🏼 Kimberlee is attentive and communicative and we will definitely use her again!”
“Dale did a great job with my little Lucy. She was happy and loved on, had other littles to play with. Was nice to be able and enjoy the local music festival without worrying about a pet! Would recommend and would use again.”
“He took such great care of my puppy. It was hard leaving him for the first time but I loved getting pictures of him while he was there. I’m so glad to have found a great dog sitter to care for my little Teddy.”
“Tabby and Robert were absolutely fantastic!! This was the first time we have left our dog and we couldn’t have felt better about it. They sent pictures and videos the entire time. They treated Stark like their own. We could tell he was being loved on and played with the entire time. They even care about the little things like following the same rules you put in place at your own house so routines don’t get messed up. They made sure he had his medicine and everything. They are fantastic and responsible pet owners and sitters!! I will for sure be calling them anytime we need somebody to watch Stark again.”
“Danielle is a real gem! I received pictures of our boys each and every day. They were bathed and overall seem genuinely happy to be with Danielle. I will definitely look forward to booking with Danielle as needed. Thank you!!”
“Elizabeth is a great sitter, she is caring and kind. Her personal touch with our Jazmin was very heartwarming. Would definitely recommend, and will use her services again.”
“Jeremy was great. His communication is wonderful. My dog Ripley seemed to love it. I will definitely use Jeremy again. I can’t say enough good things about his care of my dog and his friendly communication style.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She did an amazing job taking care of my pups and kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief finding someone you can truly trust with your dogs, and I’m so happy I found her. She treated my pups like her own, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Pam is by far THE BEST sitter we have ever had. She dedicates the majority of her time to the fur babies. She actually enjoys what she does, it shows in our fur babies behavior, they absolutely love her. She keep us informed on their day to day activity. Our minds are at ease when we travel knowing our 3 loves are getting the love and attention they are used to getting at home. Book her, you won’t be disappointed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”
“10/10 would recommend!! My dog Moose absolutely loved Mia because she felt like she was at home and loved her to pieces while I was gone. Great communication and also a plus she kept sending me pictures which I love.”
“It’s obvious why Jacob is a star sitter! This was the first time I left my dog with anyone other than family or close friends, so naturally, I was very nervous to leave him. Jacob was very thorough, communicative, and caring. My Doberman LOVED the attention he received from Jacob, his wife, and his two kiddos. Thank you so much, we’ll be back super soon!!”
“Terra was a great host for Luna, out white shepherd. Luna is a bit timid around new people, but she adjusted well in Terra's care. Loved being pictures daily, peace of mind for my husband and I that she was fitting in. 110% happy and will call on her in the future.”
About: I've taken care of family dogs for ~12years, and have my own ~80lb gentle giant Pyrenees who has taught me alot about how a calm presence influences a dogs demeanor!! I will provide a safe, fun, playful space & treat your dog as my own!! My dog LOVES little kids, small dogs, and big dogs. She is a protector dog & will be gentle with the little ones & love to play rough w the big ones 🥰 Although my dog is spayed, I only accept uneuetered male dogs on a case by case basis (though I am sure they are sweet 🫶) I am free nearly every weekend!! I work Monday through Friday every week, and spend my evenings and weekends at home with my pup! Would love to have yours join us! I can provide separate spaces as needed, crate time, quiet time, or 1-one-1 play. Fenced in yard or a quiet space on the couch, we'll make it work!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime, attention, and consistency, to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. I’ve had two senior dogs who needed medication administration, frequent bathroom breaks, transportation, and close monitoring to keep them comfortable and happy. I also currently help care for my miniature dachshund, Maxwell, who is completely blind, so I understand the importance of adapting to a dog’s individual needs and creating a safe, supportive environment. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a game of fetch, extra cuddles, a consistent feeding schedule, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. I know that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I recently relocated to spend time with my boyfriend while he serves in the Air Force, and after leaving my full-time job back home, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to give pets my full attention rather than trying to fit them into an already busy schedule. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, play sessions, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I understand that life can get hectic, and my goal is to make things a little easier for pet owners by providing reliable, attentive care when they need it most. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and individualized care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that is great for walks, and I have a fenced-in yard that allows dogs to safely spend time outdoors. My home is air-conditioned, which is especially important during the Texas summer months to ensure pets stay comfortable and cool. I also have reliable transportation, making it easy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, or other pet-related needs if necessary. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, including my own pets as well as those of family, friends, neighbors, and members of my community. This experience has taught me that every pet is different and deserves individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slowing down, or requires a little extra patience and attention, I will take the time to learn their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they are being cared for as if they were my own.
“Yvan was great with our dogs! They stayed with him while we were at Universal. He take very good care of them, feed them and sent us pics super often. We will definitely call him back!”
About: We have had animals our entire life, my mother made us start being responsible for them at an early age. Around 7 or 8 years old. Whether it was dogs or cats, if we wanted them she said we had to take care of them. As I got older I started getting animals of my own. I absolutely love dogs though and I have been a breeder of malamutes. That means we've had lots of puppies around the house. Lots of potty training lots of outdoor training. I have had cats but not as often as dogs lol. I am not working at all right now so I have an open schedule for the most part. And to be honest with you I think that I probably should have reached out to Rover a long time ago . I do have two dogs of my own at home with me. I have an eight-year-old dog and a dog that's about to be 11 years old At my home I do have a fenced-in yard, and I can get additional dog food bowls if needed, I do not have any cats at this time.So I don't have a cat box here.

“Heather is very reliable, and always makes sure our pets are well taken care of. You can tell they look forward to seeing her, and she’s even been able to befriend our most shy pets.”
“This was our second time having Hannah look after our 2 kittens. She was very communicative. It is evident from the pictures that our kittens love her! We will be booking with her again.”
“Yen was responsive right away to my cat sitter request. It was for almost 2 weeks of daily drop ins, which is a lot! She communicated clearly through the whole booking and took great care of my two elderly cats. I’m so grateful and I will definitely rebook with her again!”
“Alexis did a great job taking care of Bear, I received photos and feedback from every visit and she cleaned up any debris around his area. I returned to a clean environment, it was kept as if I had been home and not left. Bear really enjoyed her visits, she cared for him as though he was her personal pet. If she is available, I would book her again for house visits for my Bear.”
About: Leave your pets with someone that cares! Our family of four love all animals. I have had several animals in my family growing up.

“Chanahyah was amazing! I loved seeing the pictures everyday and knowing my Gemi was truly cared for! She made sure to ask about the temperature when it got cold at night and was very attentive to Hemi’s wants and needs! Definitely recommend for drop ins or sitting!”
“Jordan is the BEST doggo sitter! We exchanged information via email, and she made (is still making) it happen for our sweet girl who would otherwise have a very long day in her crate. Jordan is quick to respond, takes her care-giving seriously, and treats our space with respect. I'd say everyone should hire her, but if they did, I would have to elbow our way back into her schedule.”

“Thank you, Charlie! Sincerely. Our home is a handful and a half with the pets we have but he handled it professionally, was personable, thorough, and attentive. I would highly recommend him to anyone!”
“Kelsey gives me peace of mind that my two dogs are well cared for. She has given them their medication and has been helpful by picking up canned dog food to mix the meds in. From the photos and videos sent, Nala and Petal love Kelsey. Thank you Kelsey!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 8 so having a responsibility of caring for a animal his second nature to me making sure they have their food and their daily walks is very important to me.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Abilene
“Dale was wonderful and so easy to work with. He responded immediately on everything. Dixie loved it too as she is normally a very nervous dog, but when I picked her up she was very calm. Super great experience. I recommend Dale for all your sitter needs.”
“Alexis is fantastic. She’s very professional, a great communicator, and made Zen feel loved! She made lick mats and ice pops for the dogs and gave them lots of ear scratches! She asked about allergies etc the day before when she was preparing for his visit! I highly recommend her! Your dog will thank you!”
About: I've owned dogs my entire life - up to three at once. From puppies to their last moments 🫶🏻, I have experience with care at all stages of life. Currently have two labs (5 and 7, male and female) who are friendly with other dogs. I work from home and we have a fenced yard. I work full time from home and am here all day for their care/entertainment. We have a good sized fenced yard for play and lots of toys to play with. We have a large shaded grassy back yard as well as two large indoor kennels and two large soft travel kennels if your pup finds comfort in a kennel. Our five year old golden lab loves to play with everyone. Our seven year old black lab is laid back and chill. My dogs spend the day as my office buddies and prefer their kennels at night, but our visitors can roam free at night if not crate trained.
“Yen took me in on short notice And took excellent care of my dog. She sent me pictures throughout the day Which was awesome. Friendly ,professional, i would definitely recommend and we will be using her again”
“Terra had been amazing in day and overnight care for my fur babies. She’s really catered to them to bring them out of their shell and be comfortable. I’m truly grateful for the lengths Terra goes to just to make their stay wonderful every time.”

About: My rates reflect the level of care and experience I provide. I’ve worked in both an animal hospital and a boarding facility, and I have over 10 years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages. I’m trained to administer medications (including injections) and I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician. Your dog isn’t staying in a kennel they’re getting personalized attention in a safe home environment, along with knowledgeable care you won’t find in standard boarding. I’m also able to provide nail trims and ear cleanings for a small additional charge. My goal is to make sure your furbaby feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away😊 Pet care blends naturally into my everyday life because I’m home all day with my baby. We spend most of our time in the living room or outside, so having dogs around just feels like adding more family to our routine. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, snuggles, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Since I’m always home, I can really focus on making sure each pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable, just like they would with their own family! In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly, playful Labrador who loves having company. I also have a cat who thinks he’s a dog himself and adapts to other animals very fast! I focus on creating a calm, welcoming environment where each pet feels like part of the family. Dogs get regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep routines consistent so they feel secure, and I always monitor interactions to make sure every pet is happy and comfortable.

“Absolutely amazing! She watched both of our puppies (who can be a handful) without complaint and did amazing!! She kept us updated throughout the whole day and even sent pictures. Very sweet and loves animals! Highly recommend”
About: From an early age I have been surrounded by animals. I learned they will never let you down and they always have your back. Growing up my passion for such loving creatures has only grown stronger. Animals do not have a voice so we must stand up and be the voice for them as they comfort us in our times of need. I have been sitting for years as it is a passion of mine. I hope to continue my passion with you and your fur babies. I am flexible and willing to work with pets and their owners to find something suitable for both parties. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I currently have an open and flexible schedule, but we do own two Greyhounds and a new kitten that adopted us. My husband does work overnight hours as a Paramedic so I would not be available to stay overnight while he is on shift. I am an open book so questions are welcome! I live close to several dog parks, we have a fenced in yard for potty breaks and play time. I also have the ability for daily walks (assuming it’s not too hot outside).
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was very young family and friends rely on me to care for their pets. We have been the dog hotel for a long time. I’m currently at home most of the time so am available to care for and spoil your babies giving them lots of love and attention. I have 2 fenced in big yards that dogs can be separated if need be. I have 2 dogs that love to play and will be excited to have a new friend.
About: Around my hometown neighborhood I had many friends and family. This made it easy to book certain days and times to care for their animals. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve also had the amazing opportunity to foster kittens for 12 years with Feline Network. When I schedule appointments with someone and their animal they’re a priority. Love is more than a word, it’s a connection you can’t deny. Animals everywhere deserve love just as much as people do. Your dog is important, that’s why I want you to feel your dog is safe, loved, and cared for properly. I’m here to put my time, love, and energy into your lovely dog. I’ve fostered kittens and cared for many animals since I was seven years old. I was fortunate enough to learn about keeping an animal healthy and safe. Through the years I learned giving dogs their medication(s) can either be easy or difficult, but if you really care you’ll be patient and think outside the box. I have also learned to vaccinate dogs, cats, and pigs. I was also a member of 4-H for three years, I learned hard work, commitment, and giving an animal the attention and care it needs. When I know I can give an animal love, why wouldn’t I do it. Currently I’m doing online schooling from home. I love to schedule dates and times, but I’m very flexible when needed. I’m available all weekdays and weekends. You can contact me those days at 8:30am through 8:00pm. If you need to reschedule don’t hesitate to ask. When I’m taking care of a dog in it’s needed environment I will assess their needs and wants. I will make sure said dog gets everything they need to be successful.
About: I’ve grown up with exceptional dogs all my life. Small, medium, large, you name it I’ve fed it! All jokes aside, I am a reliable caretaker for your fur babies needs. Walking, cleaning, play time, feeding, or bathing is absolutely no problem! I am currently a stay-at home mom, which means I’ll have loads of time to relax, lounge, and play with your babies while you’re away on business or vacation! My family has 2 dogs: a black lab and a German Shepard mix. We use to have a cat, her name was Floof, and she was sweet yet feisty! We play in the backyard a lot and they enjoy meeting and playing with other dogs, big and small!

“BEST IN ABILENE!!!!! Alexis was absolutely AMAZING. I had to leave for a last minute family emergency and she was on it. She is very great at communicating and also sending pictures of my adorable frenchie. If you need someone to watch your dog please go to her!”
About: Now that I have your attention, I'll tell you a bit more about me. I worked over a year at Petco so I have experience with many pet varieties. All creatures hold a special place in my heart. I have been dog sitting since I was about 10, so I have plenty of experience giving your pets the love and care they require . I am CPR certified and lifeguard trained so you can rest easy knowing I take safety seriously. While your sweet little (or big!) pupper and I will have lots of fun, his/her safety is my first priority. You will come home to a happy and healthy fur baby! I look forward to meeting him or her. I work part time so I have plenty of time to bring your pups to the dog park at Camp Barkley, walk the trail at ACU, or play fetch in the backyard. If your little ones prefers snuggles at home, I am down for a movie night as well. Your dogs will get all the special attention they deserve! I have a senior dog named Baby, but no one has told her she is old yet! She still gets the zoomies and gives us all a run for our money. She loves life as queen of the household. She gets 3-4 walks daily and enjoys her hip and joint medicine that we have "forgotten to tell her" isn't a treat! Your pups will receive the same level of dedication and love that I have given her for 14 years.

About: I have personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. I helped care for a small family dog for about 3 years, assisting with feeding, daily care, and attention. I also independently cared for my own cat for several months, managing feeding, cleaning, and overall care. Pet care has been part of my daily routine. I would come home during lunch breaks to check on and care for my pet, and after work I handled feeding, cleaning, and attention. I’m also generally free on weekends for consistent pet care and supervision. I make sure pets are cared for in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following any instructions provided by the owner. I focus on keeping pets supervised, maintaining their routines, providing attention and care, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure at all times.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats growing up. I am currently a mom of 2 dogs in college right now. I take time in between classes to make sure my dogs are taken care of. I can always fit your pup in my schedule. No matter the day or time, I am always willing to help. I will treat them as my own. I am very trusting and respectful. All i want is to help you out when needed. Whether it is a quick check in visit, or a walk outside.
About: I am thankful to have grown up in a home with many animals. Over the past 22 years, I have loved and had the opportunity to take ownership of about 8 dogs and 2 cats. They have all been lovely and I could not have imagined my childhood without them being apart of it. I have been fortunate enough to have friends at school that are pet owners and have been given the opportunity to build relationships with their dogs, and even get to care for them when they have been away. This has given me the chance to still connect with dogs, while being away at college. I thought, why not try to make this an even bigger opportunity and try to meet more dogs right where I’m at! We currently have 4 dogs at home and I have had the pleasure of walking and spending time with each of them when I visit home on the weekends or am home for holiday breaks. Every dog we have owned has been very unique, so I’ve learned how to tailor my care taking methods to each one of their individual needs. From our high energy pups who love to chase tennis balls to older dogs who enjoy a leisurely stroll, I’ve realized that every one of our furry friends is special in their own way and deserve intentional care and love! Feeding time, special treats, doggie cuddles, and bath time when necessary are always my top priority for your furry friend to ensure they are comfortable and feeling fully loved while in my care. Safety is always my top priority! I always make sure that safe leashes (harnesses preferred) are used and proper walking etiquette is performed to ensure a positive and stress-free experience for your precious pet! As well as your pets maintaining hydration in this hot Texas heat. I am currently working a part-time job Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00am-12:00pm, as well as performing as a full-time student at Texas A&M University. My week days are available early mornings before work and classes begin, along with afternoons in between classes for potty breaks, toy time, and special treats and later evenings for walks and end of the day care. Thursday through Sundays are typically my most flexible days and would be the most suited for pet boarding in your home, or my home. The weekends are consistently my most available days for any type of pet or home care. As a trusted pet sitter, I have provided care for countless dogs while their owners were away. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel comfortable and secure in their own environment, which is why I offer in-home pet sitting services. During visits, I ensure your dog receives the love and attention they need, following their regular feeding and exercise routines to maintain stability and reduce stress during your absence. I also have experience administering medication with my own dogs at home and would be happy to help in doing so with your dog. Please let me know in advance if their are any special instructions for this service. My goal is to give all of my clients a peace of mind knowing your furry friend is truly in good hands.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was nine years old! I have pretty good understanding of how to best care for dogs and cats from small to big. I’ve also always been the “can you wash the dogs” person in my family, so if you need your dog to get a wash when I go see them, I can definitely do that too! Since I just graduated from college, I do have a more open day time schedule during the week, and my weekends have opened up a lot more. There will absolutely be no trouble with taking care of your doggos and cats week days from 11am-4pm and weekends from 12-5pm! At my house I do have a fenced in backyard, and a big neighborhood to walk the dogs through so they get thorough walk time! I also can crate your dog before I leave so they don’t run wild in the house, if you needed that!

“We're so grateful for Kimberlee! This is the longest time we've been away from our Mia, but she had the best time during her stay. 🫶🏼 Kimberlee is attentive and communicative and we will definitely use her again!”
“He took such great care of my puppy. It was hard leaving him for the first time but I loved getting pictures of him while he was there. I’m so glad to have found a great dog sitter to care for my little Teddy.”
“Tabby and Robert were absolutely fantastic!! This was the first time we have left our dog and we couldn’t have felt better about it. They sent pictures and videos the entire time. They treated Stark like their own. We could tell he was being loved on and played with the entire time. They even care about the little things like following the same rules you put in place at your own house so routines don’t get messed up. They made sure he had his medicine and everything. They are fantastic and responsible pet owners and sitters!! I will for sure be calling them anytime we need somebody to watch Stark again.”
“Jeremy was great. His communication is wonderful. My dog Ripley seemed to love it. I will definitely use Jeremy again. I can’t say enough good things about his care of my dog and his friendly communication style.”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She did an amazing job taking care of my pups and kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s such a relief finding someone you can truly trust with your dogs, and I’m so happy I found her. She treated my pups like her own, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Pam is by far THE BEST sitter we have ever had. She dedicates the majority of her time to the fur babies. She actually enjoys what she does, it shows in our fur babies behavior, they absolutely love her. She keep us informed on their day to day activity. Our minds are at ease when we travel knowing our 3 loves are getting the love and attention they are used to getting at home. Book her, you won’t be disappointed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”
“10/10 would recommend!! My dog Moose absolutely loved Mia because she felt like she was at home and loved her to pieces while I was gone. Great communication and also a plus she kept sending me pictures which I love.”
“It’s obvious why Jacob is a star sitter! This was the first time I left my dog with anyone other than family or close friends, so naturally, I was very nervous to leave him. Jacob was very thorough, communicative, and caring. My Doberman LOVED the attention he received from Jacob, his wife, and his two kiddos. Thank you so much, we’ll be back super soon!!”
“Terra was a great host for Luna, out white shepherd. Luna is a bit timid around new people, but she adjusted well in Terra's care. Loved being pictures daily, peace of mind for my husband and I that she was fitting in. 110% happy and will call on her in the future.”
About: I've taken care of family dogs for ~12years, and have my own ~80lb gentle giant Pyrenees who has taught me alot about how a calm presence influences a dogs demeanor!! I will provide a safe, fun, playful space & treat your dog as my own!! My dog LOVES little kids, small dogs, and big dogs. She is a protector dog & will be gentle with the little ones & love to play rough w the big ones 🥰 Although my dog is spayed, I only accept uneuetered male dogs on a case by case basis (though I am sure they are sweet 🫶) I am free nearly every weekend!!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime, attention, and consistency, to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. I’ve had two senior dogs who needed medication administration, frequent bathroom breaks, transportation, and close monitoring to keep them comfortable and happy. I also currently help care for my miniature dachshund, Maxwell, who is completely blind, so I understand the importance of adapting to a dog’s individual needs and creating a safe, supportive environment. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a game of fetch, extra cuddles, a consistent feeding schedule, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. I know that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I recently relocated to spend time with my boyfriend while he serves in the Air Force, and after leaving my full-time job back home, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to give pets my full attention rather than trying to fit them into an already busy schedule. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, play sessions, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I understand that life can get hectic, and my goal is to make things a little easier for pet owners by providing reliable, attentive care when they need it most. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and individualized care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that is great for walks, and I have a fenced-in yard that allows dogs to safely spend time outdoors. My home is air-conditioned, which is especially important during the Texas summer months to ensure pets stay comfortable and cool. I also have reliable transportation, making it easy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, or other pet-related needs if necessary. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, including my own pets as well as those of family, friends, neighbors, and members of my community. This experience has taught me that every pet is different and deserves individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slowing down, or requires a little extra patience and attention, I will take the time to learn their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they are being cared for as if they were my own.
About: We have had animals our entire life, my mother made us start being responsible for them at an early age. Around 7 or 8 years old. Whether it was dogs or cats, if we wanted them she said we had to take care of them. As I got older I started getting animals of my own. I absolutely love dogs though and I have been a breeder of malamutes. That means we've had lots of puppies around the house. Lots of potty training lots of outdoor training. I have had cats but not as often as dogs lol. I am not working at all right now so I have an open schedule for the most part. And to be honest with you I think that I probably should have reached out to Rover a long time ago . I do have two dogs of my own at home with me. I have an eight-year-old dog and a dog that's about to be 11 years old At my home I do have a fenced-in yard, and I can get additional dog food bowls if needed, I do not have any cats at this time.So I don't have a cat box here.
