“Andrea did an awesome job taking care of Winnie, my German Shepard mix, while I was away for several days. On arrival, Andrea was careful enough to put the other dogs in the backyard in order for my dog to get comfortable and introduced them individually. During my time away, she was very quick to respond and provided several pictures of Winnie enjoying her stay and interacting with the family. After picking Winnie up, I could immediately tell she has been getting plenty of play and attention from Andrea's kids and the dogs. In the future, Andrea will be my number one choice!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care, attention, and space I provide for every dog. As a full-time homemaker and dedicated dog mom, I have the time to give each guest the supervision, companionship, and affection they deserve instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I have hands-on experience caring for my own two Cane Corsos, a large working breed that requires consistency, patience, and confident handling. This experience has taught me how to understand different personalities, recognize body language, and create a calm, safe environment for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. My home offers a fully fenced 2.41-acre country property, giving dogs plenty of room to safely run, explore, and play. I also understand that not every dog enjoys group play, so I can separate dogs when needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable, relaxed, and safe. I believe every dog is unique. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions, feeding schedule, exercise routine, and preferences so your pet feels as close to home as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. For me, this isn’t just pet sitting—it’s providing a loving, trustworthy home where your furry family member is treated with the same care and respect I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I’m a full-time homemaker and devoted dog mom. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love and attention for every dog in my care. Each day includes supervised outdoor time on our fully fenced 2.41-acre property, enrichment activities, cuddle time, and a comfortable place to rest indoors. I also make sure every guest follows their owner’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home. As a furry parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them patience, kindness, and personalized care throughout their stay. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where dogs can enjoy themselves while their owners have complete peace of mind. At Country Paws Retreat, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a peaceful, loving home where every dog is treated like family. My 2.41-acre fully fenced property offers plenty of secure space to run, play, explore, and relax in a safe country setting. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new takes trust. That’s why I provide attentive, personalized care, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and affection throughout the day. I keep a close eye on every dog to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and enjoying their stay. As a proud owner of two friendly Cane Corsos, I have experience caring for large breeds and understand that every dog has a unique personality. If needed, dogs can be separated during playtime or rest periods to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Whether your pup is here for daycare or an extended stay, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in a clean, secure, and caring environment where they’ll receive the attention they deserve. My goal is for every guest to leave happy, relaxed, and excited to come back!

About: I’m an emergency veterinary technician, grew up in a farm surrounded by animals and learned at a very young age that they are my passion. Have worked with all sorts of animals throughout the years so i have a very broad knowledge for caring for your pets.

I’m very flexible when it comes to you and your pets schedule so i work around you guys! I provide around the clock care when it comes to playtime, walks, and feedings! I have a large fenced yard with lots of green lush grass and a covered patio where your dog can play with my own pups. I keep my dogs indoors in a secured playpen and my cats have their own cat room away from everyone. One of my senior dogs is diabetic and receives insulin injections twice a day. I am professionally prepared and comfortable to take care of any of your pets needs. I work closely with doctors which means easy access for any on the spot care if needed or for future needs/advice! I'm currently working as a veterinary nurse some days of the week and am a college student thats fully remote. I'm actively trying to occupy my free days by helping fellow pet owners with their pet care needs 7 days a week. Growing up on a ranch and working in veterinary medicine it was kinda hard to refrain from owning so many animals. My fur babies goes as follows. I have a goat, a cockatiel, indoor cats, dogs, peacocks and cattle. Although I have help with my outdoor animals, I fully tend to all our indoor animals. Each pet has a strict diet and bathroom regime that I follow prior to my shifts and post shifts. I'm structured to say the least, especially when it comes to animals and you can expect nothing less when it comes to your pets.

I am currently not doing a typical 9 to 5 job and that gives me the flexibility to do what I love the most, which is spending time with pets. I would play with them, keep them active.

About: Hello my name is Amanda :) I am from Harlingen and currently attending UTRGV to major in Marine Biology. Me and my family have a six year old chihuahua named Soda who is super loved!! I decided to get Rover because I would like to earn some money to help with my school expenses & other things. I am currently 26 yrs old. I am a friendly and an easy going person. I would love and enjoy the opportunity to take care of your little fur friends and will do my absolute best of taking care of them. I love dogs and look forward to having fun with them! For dog walking & dog visit services, I am available early mornings to mid afternoons for both weekdays and weekends. I am excited to care of your pups! My dog Soda is an indoor dog but he really loves playing outside. When he wants to go outside, I walk him on his leash and playfully throw his ball for him to run, and take him to do his doggy business.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of who I am. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’m patient, attentive, and responsive to their individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra attention, consistency, and basic training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or gentle care. I’m very observant and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Now that I’m away at college, I truly miss having animals around, so pet sitting is something that brings me joy in the meantime. I have a big heart for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾💛 Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. As a college student, I have structured class times, which allows me to create consistent morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins for walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care needs. I’m used to building my day around animals since I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day potty breaks, or evening cuddle time, I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. On weekends, I typically have even more flexibility, which allows for longer walks or extra playtime. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I prioritize because I truly enjoy it. 🐾💛 When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise routines, and any specific behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine to reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention and affection. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with close supervision. I ensure they have a safe space to rest, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and lots of companionship. Because I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, I’m very attentive to body language and behavior changes, especially for puppies or senior pets who may need extra care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to provide consistent, loving, and responsible care. 🐾💛

“Stephanie was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Bailey! She sent us daily photo updates where she took her walking, riding and playing with her lovely dogs which completely put our minds at ease while we were away. When we got back, Bailey was happy, calm, and well-exercised. We would book her again in a heartbeat!"”
“Andrea did an awesome job taking care of Winnie, my German Shepard mix, while I was away for several days. On arrival, Andrea was careful enough to put the other dogs in the backyard in order for my dog to get comfortable and introduced them individually. During my time away, she was very quick to respond and provided several pictures of Winnie enjoying her stay and interacting with the family. After picking Winnie up, I could immediately tell she has been getting plenty of play and attention from Andrea's kids and the dogs. In the future, Andrea will be my number one choice!”
“Alicia and her family were incredible! Alicia watched Loki while I was traveling for the holidays and really treated him as her own. Loki even came home from his first Christmas with his own stocking of treats and toys which was above and beyond!!! Great communication, flexible with scheduling, trustworthy! I highly recommend Alicia!”
“Great sitter for my pet. Bo was constantly updating me by sending messages and pictures, and my pet loved it as he got to play and interact with his dogs. Overall I definitely recommend Bo as being your choice to trust your pets with.”
About: I have cared for and owned pets my whole life so I am experienced with how to care for them, puppies and elder dogs included! I am currently home from law school and have plenty of time to take care of pets. I am available all day to care for pets. I live in my family home with my parents and sister.

“Amazing with high-energy dogs! Our dog has endless energy and can sometimes be a handful, but Grace handled him like an absolute pro. She gave him plenty of exercise. Super communicative and professional. Thank you so much!☺️ highly recommend booking with her!!”
“We took a trip to South Padre Island and stayed at a condo that wasn’t pet friendly, so we found Alexis. She was great with our Bo. She sent daily pics of Bo, good mornings and good nights. We felt so comfortable because from the moment we were matched with her it was constant communication. The dropping off and picking up was quick and smooth. This was the first time Bo was left with a total stranger and he did very good, so that says a lot about how she cares about our pets. Thank you again, Alexis 💕”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care, attention, and space I provide for every dog. As a full-time homemaker and dedicated dog mom, I have the time to give each guest the supervision, companionship, and affection they deserve instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I have hands-on experience caring for my own two Cane Corsos, a large working breed that requires consistency, patience, and confident handling. This experience has taught me how to understand different personalities, recognize body language, and create a calm, safe environment for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. My home offers a fully fenced 2.41-acre country property, giving dogs plenty of room to safely run, explore, and play. I also understand that not every dog enjoys group play, so I can separate dogs when needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable, relaxed, and safe. I believe every dog is unique. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions, feeding schedule, exercise routine, and preferences so your pet feels as close to home as possible. I also provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. For me, this isn’t just pet sitting—it’s providing a loving, trustworthy home where your furry family member is treated with the same care and respect I give my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I’m a full-time homemaker and devoted dog mom. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, exercise, and plenty of love and attention for every dog in my care. Each day includes supervised outdoor time on our fully fenced 2.41-acre property, enrichment activities, cuddle time, and a comfortable place to rest indoors. I also make sure every guest follows their owner’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home. As a furry parent myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved companion. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them patience, kindness, and personalized care throughout their stay. My goal is to provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where dogs can enjoy themselves while their owners have complete peace of mind. At Country Paws Retreat, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a peaceful, loving home where every dog is treated like family. My 2.41-acre fully fenced property offers plenty of secure space to run, play, explore, and relax in a safe country setting. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new takes trust. That’s why I provide attentive, personalized care, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, fresh water, and lots of love and affection throughout the day. I keep a close eye on every dog to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and enjoying their stay. As a proud owner of two friendly Cane Corsos, I have experience caring for large breeds and understand that every dog has a unique personality. If needed, dogs can be separated during playtime or rest periods to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Whether your pup is here for daycare or an extended stay, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in a clean, secure, and caring environment where they’ll receive the attention they deserve. My goal is for every guest to leave happy, relaxed, and excited to come back!
“Thank you for taking such great care of Mister Pickles! Appreciate you sending all the photos as well. Such a relief to know he was being well taken care of while we were away.”
“Roxie had an amazing time!! Although, the weather wasn’t too cooperative, she enjoyed cuddling at home with Elaine’s family indoors. She went out for her routinely potty times, and selfies throughout her stay. Roxie can’t wait to return!!! Thank you so much!! :)”
