Personalized care for your dog or cat - South Padre Island

“My dog ,Jack, loves Margot. He knows what street she lives on and starts dancing in the car when ever we are anywhere near there. Jack always stays with her when I travel, and I love that he is always happy and healthy when I pick him up. I really enjoy the pictures Margot sends me when he is there .”

“Sanchita, is an excellent care taker. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares for animals. My Rocko immediately felt at ease with her, and I was reassured by her professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail. While I was away, she provided regular updates and adorable photos so I knew my Rocko was happy and comfortable. She went above and beyond with walks, playtime. My Rocko returned home calm and content, which says everything about the quality of care provided. I will absolutely book with her again she’s the best.”

Brittany sent pictures and videos consistently and my Walter and Lilo got lots of attention and love. Came home 12 days later to happy puppers! Would use Brittany again in a heartbeat.”

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!

“I had a great experience with Claudia through Rover! She communicated really well and kept me updated with messages and pictures of my dog, Cecil. I was a little worried leaving him since he’s an older dog, but her experience with senior pets made me feel so much more comfortable. I could tell he was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Kaylie L.

“Samantha's super professional and kind. This was my first time leaving my pups with someone I don't personally know, and she sent me pictures and updates which made me feel much more comfortable. I was out of state fot a few days, and had a flight change on my way back, which made me late to pick them up. She was understanding, and even groomed them before I picked them up. Highly recommend!”

We were thinking we would have to cancel plans or have one sit out and miss the fun, Margot was very responsive and our pup slept the rest of the night from what we can imagine was a great active puppy daycare.

About: First time dover users can use my discount code for $20 off 🙂 Hi all, I am enrolled as an online student for Troy University so have plenty of time to play and cuddle at home with your babies. I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was about 12 years old and continue to do so till this day. We love animals in this household and rest assured your pets will be in the right hands. I have taken care of neighbors and clients pets for more than 8 years now and never had a complaits. If any special circumstances exist I will work around or with them, no problem. We are an active family and love spending time outdoors so they will either get tired out or just have fun. I’ve always had my own pets and have plenty of knowledge in regards to their health. We are able to administer meds. If needed. I only accept request from female clients for safety purposes. I am home most of the day as I work from home so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs. We regularly go on walks or play in our backyard.

About: My wife and I love caring for pets together. I've been around animals my entire life, literally. I have worked at an animal hospital , and I also worked at a local animal shelter. So with that being said, I am very familiar with caring for pets medically. I have assisted with surgical procedures, bathing, walking, feeding, administering injections and medications, and caring for sick animal and post surgical care. I have toys for them to play with. I am pretty active, so pets will get a lot of exercise. I can teach basic commands to dogs. I am very patient and loving towards animals, so I assure you they will be in great care. I love to cuddle and pets are more than welcomed on my bed! We’re more than glad to take care of pets for anyone that needs it. I work part time at an animal clinic, but I am flexible on my days off! :) I’d love to see and care for your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs for your pet to play with. I can crate your pet if it’s needed at any point.

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. 🐾💛
