About: I have experience with animals since I could walk. In my personal life I would best describe my passion as a certified collector of strays (cats , dogs, birds and insects . The list is very long :) . In my professional experience I’m very exposed to the knowledge and unique design in caring for animals . STORY TIME : * ****I met a pit bull ****At the age of 17 I went to one of my first parties with my friend ( I was still very shy and reserved, but was looking to dismantle my comfort zone ). I had a bad time and unfortunately I was followed walking on my route and hoped to just make it back home in the same pieces that I came with lol . Anyways I approached a dark neighborhood on my path and only two streetlights worked and sarcastically I was excited to be walking under one the moment I locked eyes with THEE most Beautiful & intimidating Pit Bull I’d ever been blessed with eyes to see and a body to run that couldn’t move and was actually not breathing to well either 😅So I did what any rational human would in this situation and called her and told her to come here “sweetie” and she Bolted towards me … arms out stretched shaking in my wee lil boots I prayed lol and she jumped up on my shoulder and licked my face and I was at awe 🥹. She walked me home (2miles) and we actually got stopped by a couple who told me I have a beautiful dog and I explained she wasn’t mine and asked if they wanted to try and keep her but she never left my side . I’ve never felt so safe and happy all at once at 12 midnight imagine what love can do !!! I lived in that same area for three extra years and never seen her again . The End My professional experience consists of working side by side as an acting vet assistant where I learned to chip dogs , feed them medicine, clean kennels, walk them and feed them their food . I also worked as a canine coach where I oversaw 1-28 dogs at a time play with them talk to them prevent them from being in danger making it the best environment possible . I aspire to build my abundance in what I love and that’s more love the definition manifested in all creations especially ones with big beautiful baby eyes and youthful hearts Animals :) Hi I’m Ta Manda and I’m your PETS NEW BESTIE🦄❤️🎁!! ( so cheesy and I love it lol) I am currently invested in becoming independent, I am open to gaining more experience so other than Uber I’m all yours ❤️ please just reach out :) I love forming lasting bonds with the pets I care for and would be thrilled to stay connected and visit them even after my services are complete. I believe that doctor dolittle was inspired by Myself so honestly I do have conversations with them down to moths I believe they are listening and if you’re still enough you can tell they understand you .

About: I’m an animal lover with a soft spot for cats. While I’ve only personally owned one cat, I’ve been around cats throughout my life through family members who have them. Growing up, having cats of my own wasn’t really an option because of my mom’s allergies, but that never stopped me from loving them. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles (when permitted by the boss 🐱😂), and giving them their space when they want it. I’m patient, attentive, and will always follow your specific care instructions and routine so your cat feels as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’m currently a full-time nursing student, which gives me flexibility to provide plenty of attention, playtime, feeding, litter box care, cuddles, and supervision. My goal is to make sure you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention 🐈

“It was my first time using the app and was unsure a how it will go but I am so glad that I did use and found Kyla. She was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure I didn’t have to worry about Fluffy. She sent detailed descriptions of her visits and sent regular updates. Spent extra time with Fluffy to make sure he felt comfortable around her. She managed to put a bandana around Fluffy’s neck which was a cute surprise when I got back. Thank you Kyla for being amazing. 10/10 will book her again next time I am traveling.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Van Vleck

About: Providing a stress free environment from a stay at home nana. I would love to create a home away from home for your beloved fur baby. Life long love for animals. I work from home so can accommodate to your fur babies schedule. My home is quiet and easy to navigate for any pet that may have anxiety. My backyard is fenced in and can provide plenty of room for activity. I usually let my chihuahua out every hour or so, or give him the option to go out. He generally likes to stay under his blanket a majority of the day though. He does get along well with other dogs, as he has lived with larger dogs previously.

About: Growing up in the country, I cared for pets and farm animals. My experience and love for all creatures began there! Interacting with them has always been the highlight of my day. From cats, dogs, small animals, aquatic life and reptiles, to horses, dairy goats, birds, pigs and chickens, I have you covered! I've owned most, and cared for the rest. No matter what, I keep critters close! As a child was rarely seen without an animal or flock in tow. I raised pigs, chickens, dove, rabbits. As well as trained dogs and horses. Later on In Edna, I was a ranch hand on a small dairy farm. Now living in the city, I care mostly for cats and dogs, but I still love them all! I wouldn't imagine my life any other way! I have a very open and movable schedule. I can pretty much work with anything. The safety and care of your pup is always at the top of my list. I have a fenced yard with a large shaded area. Indoor and crate training is also great. I will make sure they are comfortable and safe.

About: I’m studying to be an engineer and my dad has a joke that i’m coming back as a veterinarian which says a lot. Unconditional love is what dogs have and the only thing you can do with it is to give some right back to them. I love going on walks and runs even without dogs, so it’s a perfect match. I’m also pretty good at tug of war, i might let your dog win a few times. I’m currently a student at A&M Kingsville with a lot of free time between classes and i’m very flexible as far as my schedule goes. I’m always eat at home and can unsure your dog gets a meal too. I do have a medium sized crate along with some treats of my own. In my apartment complex there is a fenced in doggy area as well as a bunch of yard throughout. As stated though, i love going on walks and letting them explore the campus, and other people love giving out pets and scratches.
About: I am a certified veterinary assistant. I have always loved animals. I have experience working with dogs and cats.My plan is to continue working with all animals as my future progress. I am working part time right now at a dog daycare and plan to start school in January for veterinary technician. I also have a pit to take care of everyday so pet care is apart of my life all the time Exactly what the pet parent asked for. Follow the rules of the house and how they raise their pets and attend to their homes because the pets will already be used to their type of living and also im a guest in someones’ home. My dog is an inside pit who is spoiled she gets everything i assume she wants toys, walks, food the fresh food at that. I love her so i only want to make her smile i will give her my last. My entire world.

About: Pets have always been family to me. I had a Shih Tzu who was my best friend for 14 years and a Pit Bull I loved for 12 years, both of whom I miss dearly. Now I have a 6 month old Maltese-Yorkie mix who is my absolute pride and joy 🤎 So I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your baby in someone else’s care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from little lap dogs to the big babies who think they’re lap dogs 😂 I’m also happy to care for cats! I’m currently a full-time nursing student and not working outside of school, which gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and supervision. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your baby is safe, loved, and being cared for like one of my own. You can expect plenty of pictures and updates along the way, because I know how much peace of mind that brings 🐾 I’m currently a full-time nursing student, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets.

I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I have a clean, spacious home with plenty of room for your pet to relax and feel comfortable. I follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, crate, and bedtime instructions closely because I know every pet has their own routine. I’m also happy to provide pictures and updates throughout their stay so you never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing.
“Tamanda is awesome! My dog was so happy to see her every day 😊 She did a great job taking care of him while we were traveling. I highly recommend her, and we’re looking forward to seeing her again!”

About: I’m in my mid 30s and been responsible for at least one pet since I was about 8. I love all animals and have personally had cats, dogs and fish. I graduated from A&M Galveston with a degree in Marine Biology and am currently working with marine mammals. I have experience in dog and cat training, this includes harness/leash and behavioral. Because of my degree I have a background in animal behavior which I use to help talk to and understand animals. I have worked with pets, dolphins and wolves in the past. I absolutely love animals and find it the most rewarding teaching and interacting with them. Please let me help you love your pet. I currently don’t have any set in stone commitments but I have the occasional volunteer project but can work around any Rover commitment. Let me know what you need and we can figure something out! I have a truck so it’s easy to go somewhere safe for your pet if your neighborhood doesn’t have a good play spot. If I am staying at a clients place can take the dog to a dog park if there isn't one nearby.
