I will definitely be using her again, and again can't thank her enough!”

He was loved and treated as one of their own dogs. And it showed. I will definitely be using this family again for my boardings in the future.”

Once we were out of the country, she sent us daily pictures and occasional videos to show that Moxie was being cared for as if he was her own. We were so relieved that we found the perfect family to leave our dog with. I highly recommend her to anyone needing care for a small dog!”
“Shyonda is professional & communicative. She welcomed Roxie literally with open arms! The pictures Shyonda sent while caring for Roxie provided peace of mind.

About: What sets me apart is my calm and patient approach with cats of all personalities. With 5 years of caregiving experience, I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, litter care, playtime, and giving each cat the space and affection they need to feel secure. Whether your cat is playful, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I’ll care for them like they’re my own 🐾
About: Hi my name is Macie. I am a college student finishing up my degree in radiation therapy. I am a huge animal lover!! I have always grown up surrounded by so many pets. I can’t remember a time that there hasn’t been a dog next to me. I currently have a Great Dane that turned two not too long ago! There are also two other dogs in the house that I love just as much! I can assure you that I will treat your “babies” like they were my own, not only because I’m an animal lover, but because it’s how I want my “baby” treated while I’m away. I couldn’t imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends so, I can’t wait to meet you and your pet family!
About: I've had family pets since I was a child but I have loved and cared for my own pet for that last 8 years. My sweet Chewbacca is my second child and treated as such in our home. He is family and any fur baby that visits will be loved and treated in the same way. I work part-time away from home during the week but I am only gone 4-5 hours. Your pup will not go more than 5 hours without being let out and will be taken on walks daily while visiting. I do not have a fenced yard but I will let your fur baby out on a leash for safety reasons. My sweet Chewbacca is a lover and a licker and will be thrilled to meet your fur baby. I am happy to crate your pup according to your wants and needs but I personally do not crate my dog and do not mind your pup roaming my house if wanted. Please be sure to let me know of your dogs needs so that I can accommodate.

“Lilly watched my cat on a super last minute request! My cats usually very upset when we leave here for more than a day but after arriving home she seemed so happy! Would definitely book again”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 2 years old and have experience with all types of dogs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who move at their own pace. I currently help care for my mom’s dog Bleu (5 years old) and previously cared for my senior dog, Max, who lived to be 14, so I’m comfortable with all stages of life including the “I just want to nap all day” phase. I’m usually the go-to dog sitter in my family, especially for my grandparents, so I’m used to being on “dog duty” at a moment’s notice. As a former college student-athlete, I’ll actually match your dog’s energy—whether that means long walks, playtime, or a dog park adventure. If your dog has energy, I’ll match it. If they’re a couch potato, I fully respect that lifestyle too. My goal is simple: keep your dog safe, happy, and slightly spoiled while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine since I have a flexible weekday schedule. I currently coach at a university and split time between Texas and New Mexico, so my availability can vary depending on travel for coaching and track meets. I’m typically more available during the weekdays and less available on weekends. When I’m available, I enjoy spending that time walking, playing, and caring for dogs, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet their needs and schedules. I care for each pet based on their routine and personality to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any specific routines the dog is used to. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. For walks and exercise, I match the dog’s energy level—whether that’s active walks, play sessions, or a slower pace for senior dogs. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and make sure they feel secure, cared for, and happy while you’re gone.
“Jamie is such a kind young lady. She was the perfect person to take care of our Stella and Olivia. She came by once a day as cats usually don’t need quite as much attention as dogs. I feel confident that she enjoys what she does and that she truly loves animals. I won’t hesitate to hire her again soon. Kelly Fowler”
“I was very impressed by the professionalism of this sitter. She exercises good communication and very detailed reports on her visit. I scheduled an hour visit each day and Paulina provided walks at the beginning and the end of each session. Plus she cleaned up accidents in my home between visits. I was very grateful for all the effort during visits. In opinion she went above and beyond what most sitters would provide.”
About: I have a dog who is 4 years old and is great with other dogs, friends and family always asks me to watch their pets because I love it. I’m currently a home maker. My step kids come in the summer and my husband works a lot so it’s normally just me and Lucy at home all day. I have a fenced yard, a very sweet Great Pyrenees named Lucy and live in a very nice neighborhood for walks. Me and Lucy normally go for a walk and then play for a while and she takes a nap while I tidy up. After nap we go potty in the back yard and play and then she wants another nap. Depending on your dogs energy, we can add play time or we can add naps :) Me and my husband moved to Houston recently and I am home with my dog all day long. I definitely have time to give your pet attention. I have a fenced yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fur baby comfy and entertained. She is very good with other dogs and although she’s big, she is very submissive and has never shown signs of aggression.
“Nichole took such great care of Ninja while we were on vacation over the holiday's. Knowing he was well cared for was such a relief. We also loved getting the pictures of him! Thanks Nichole for your professionalism and kindness. 10/10 would definitely book again.”
About: Throughout my life I've grown up around and cared for many dogs, cats, birds, and small mammals. I've also had the wonderful opportunity to participate in my high school's doggie daycare, where we walked, played, and provided grooming services to dogs. My lifelong love for animals has led me to become a student at Texas A&M majoring in Wildlife and Fisheries, and for my freshman year I was a member of a service dog training organization called Patriot Paws. Currently I'm volunteering weekly at a wolfdog sanctuary where I clean enclosures and care for the wolfdogs that reside there! My availability should be accurately reflected on my calendar. Im usually available all times of day and any day of the week. I prefer at least 2 days notice for a booking. When caring for pets, I'll try to care for them in the same way they're used to when their owners are home. If there's any specifications for feeding, walking, etc. I'll follow it as close as I can.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Waverly
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and I treat every pup like family. I’m experienced with high-energy breeds, senior dogs, and young pups still learning manners. I’m attentive to behavioral cues, committed to maintaining routines, and great at keeping dogs calm, happy, and safe. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or cuddle time, I make sure each dog feels cared for and loved. My first “job” was at 11 years old as the neighborhood dog watcher. I started a boarding company called “DogGone” and was entrusted at a really young age and to take care of loved ones and never disappointed. I’ve worked from home for over 5 years, which allows me to be fully present and attentive with pets throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and check-ins. My flexible schedule ensures your pet receives consistent companionship and care, not just occasional supervision. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialized dogs who can keep your pup company if desired. I’m attentive to each dog’s comfort level and can separate or crate as needed to match your pet’s personality and routine. Your pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness are my priority, and I treat every guest dog as if they were my own. Also live on a private lake if your dogs love to swim. The lake is separated by my fence if that is of concern.
“we were glad to have the day care visit available to get Fawn used to being with other dogs. we felt Chanisy handled her great, and we’re glad for that. we dont like boarding her at the Vets office because they dont really play or have her get exercise which she needs. When Chanisy sent pictures and video of Fawn playing it made us very happy. We highly recommend Chanisy”
About: I grew up in a household full of love for animals, and that passion was passed down to me. I’ve raised many dogs, from playful puppies to wise seniors, and I treat every pet as part of the family — loved, cared for, and spoiled with affection. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy being around animals, whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’m reliable, attentive, and make sure every pet feels happy and safe while you’re away. I’m a mom raising three boys, so caring for others is just part of my day — pets included! I have a flexible schedule and can fit walks, visits, or overnight stays into my routine easily. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. At my home, pets have plenty of space to explore and play! I have a huge, partially fenced yard, and we live off a quiet dirt road with a pond and private walking trails. We can go leashed or unleashed, whatever your pet prefers. I love spending time outdoors, so I’m happy to take walks, play, or just enjoy fresh air with your pets. If I’m caring for them at your home, I always follow your rules and routines to make sure they feel comfortable and safe.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 3 years of hands-on experience, my genuine love for animals, and my personalized approach to each pet’s unique needs. With a decade of expertise, I ensure that pets in my care feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. My reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to high-quality care make me the trusted choice for pet owners seeking peace of mind. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I prioritize my pets' needs alongside my own, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or grooming, I make time for each aspect of their care. I also incorporate regular check-ins, updates, and maintenance tasks like cleaning and administering medications as needed. My routine is flexible, allowing me to adapt to the specific needs of the pets in my care, while maintaining a consistent and reliable schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I tailor my approach to ensure comfort, safety, and well-being. In my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and daily routines. I maintain a clean and secure space, offer regular exercise, and give one-on-one attention to each pet, following any specific care instructions given by the owner. When caring for pets in a client's home, I ensure I respect their space while maintaining consistency in their pets' routine. I follow the same level of care as I would in my own home—ensuring pets are fed, exercised, and mentally stimulated. I also keep the home secure, maintaining a safe environment and sending regular updates to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to make pets feel as comfortable and loved as they would in their own home.
About: As a pet owner, sitter, falconer, and former zoo keeper, a majority of my life revolves around animals. Their proper care and well being is of the utmost importance to me. I have been pet sitting just over ten years, while maintaining other jobs but am now pursuing this full time as a means to help support my growing family. In my free time I offer free snake relocation services; as well as reptile and falconry/raptor education events. I have helped whelp litters, bottle feed, tube feed, hand feed (birds). I’m experienced in medication administration, as well as abiding by special diet restrictions. I maintain a federal falconry license as well as a state sub-permit for wildlife rehab. I’ve cared for everything from birds to reptiles, exotic mammals, wildlife to house pets! There are few animals I’m uncomfortable with and for that reason my rates are adjustable for those with special circumstances! I’ve always felt I had a special bond with animals and I’d love to provide your pet with the same love, care and attention I would provide my own. Pet care is a daily part of my life! Fortunately, I livewoth my fiancee who’s just as passionate about animals and am able to leave my own animals with him when I’m working. Animals have been my whole life and I’m in no hurry to change that. I will always show animals the same love, attention, respect and care that I would show my own personal pets. Truthfully, I’ve never met an animal I didn’t love
About: I’ve been deeply connected to animals from a young age, caring for a wide range—from birds and rabbits to indoor pigs, cats, and dogs. That lifelong experience has shaped my ability to read animal body language, understand their social cues, and respond with patience and intuition. With a master’s degree in psychology, I bring a unique perspective to animal care, blending emotional awareness with practical skill to support animals in a way that feels safe and attuned to their needs. I genuinely enjoy being present with each animal—whether that means offering affection and companionship, maintaining their routines, or supporting any specific training or behavioral goals a client may have. My schedule is very flexible, as I work from home as a therapist and only see 3–4 clients virtually per day for one-hour sessions. This allows me to be present and attentive to pets throughout the day, providing consistent care, supervision, and companionship. Pets in my home are rarely left alone for extended periods, and I’m able to accommodate their routines, needs, and comfort with a calm, steady presence. Safety, trust, and a calm, structured environment are at the center of how I care for both cats and dogs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day, helping pets feel secure and settled. I’m highly attentive to body language and individual temperament, allowing me to build trust at each animal’s pace—whether they’re energetic, sensitive, or more independent. My home is clean, quiet, and pet-friendly, with a large fenced grass yard for safe outdoor time and play. I also live in a gated community just a couple of blocks from a lake, which allows for peaceful, enriching walks for dogs in a secure and calm environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty routines or litter box care, medications if needed, and any specific preferences or training goals. I’m mindful of maintaining a safe, hazard-free space and introducing any new experiences gradually and respectfully. I also prioritize clear, consistent communication so you can feel confident that your pet—whether cat or dog—is safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.
About: I’m a huge dog lover and love having them around. I have watched, walked, fed and bathed dogs for past roommates, friends, family and neighbors since I was in middle school. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, grew up raising 100+ lb labs, cared for Great Danes/Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd/Boxers to Australian Shepherds/Chihuahuas/Mutts. I’ve also volunteered at multiple dog shelters. I work remotely so I’m home all day so I can give your pups attention constantly. I can watch dogs every day of the week and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and also have extra steel blockers around the fence for any potential pups that dig. I do have one older dog that gets along with other dogs and is happy to lay around all day with them.
“It's nerve wracking to trust your dog to someone you meet online. Ahravia was super trustworthy and communivative. She went above and beyond to send photo and video updates all day long. She worked on training and took him to the dog park to play. It was above and beyond. Trust me, that wearing out my giant one-year-old poodle is no easy task. He was dead to the world as soon as he got in the car to go home. 10/10 would recommend Ahravia.”
About: My husband and I currently have two cats, a mainecoon mix and a longhair street rescue 💁🏼♀️. And a cane corso that we rescued, he’s 9. I grew up with pets and was always surrounded by a variety of dogs and cats, they just make life better. I have experience with medications and injections. Regardless of the dogs needs, I can be flexible and willing to do the "gross" things like wiping butts. Whether you're looking for someone to drop in and play with your pooch, share some scratches with the cat(and clean the litter box) or you have a dog is more active and needs some exercise they will be well loved and cared for. When it comes to trusting someone to care for your dog like you would, I'm your gal. Dogs just make life better. I’m currently working from home so I have all the free time for your animals! If you have specific times for feeds or meds I can definitely follow that. I have a fenced in yard with tons of space. There are also trails nearby to walk if your pup prefers that, but most love to just run.
About: Dog friendly neighborhood, with lots of trees in backyard. Pet friendly home with loving dogs and cats. Separate cages, so that they may crate alone. I’m fully retired now with a daily walking schedule. Would love to fill my days with your fur babies. Daily walks and splashes in the pool in the backyard if it’s too hot. I have a complete fenced in backyard, but lots of trees. Three friendly dogs and two friendly cats to keep your pet company separate crates for each animal.
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life, which has given me a strong understanding of their needs and behaviors. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have also taken care of dogs for family members and friends. Through these experiences, I’ve worked with dogs of many different sizes, breeds, and ages. This has helped me become confident and comfortable handling a wide variety of personalities and care requirements. I am currently a college student, but with summer coming up I have plenty of free time to put my full attention into your dogs. I currently don’t have any pets so there won’t be any issues with encountering other pets. My home has plenty of space to play indoors. I have a fenced in back patio for small outdoor space. My apartment complex is dog friendly with lots of grass, walkways, and dog areas. While taking care of your pet I will be able to stay with them the whole time, and give them full attention while in my care.

We do not overcrowd, and we maintain a calm, controlled atmosphere that helps dogs settle in quickly. With experience in dog behavior and training, we’re confident handling a wide range of personalities from high energy working breeds to more sensitive or anxious dogs.
“Very much recommend Gabriela and Alejandro! I needed someone to watch my dog last minute and they were able to watch him. They sent me photos of him and kept me updated throughout the day. My baby looked comfortable and I’m sure he had the best time. Will definitely book again soon 😊”

About: Taking care of pets and training puppies is a rewarding and vital aspect of responsible pet ownership. It involves a combination of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement techniques. From housebreaking, teaching basic commands, or socializing them with other animals, providing proper training sets the foundation for a well-behaved and happy companion. Establishing a routine, providing mental and physical stimulation, and offering plenty of love and affection are key elements in raising a well-adjusted puppy. Through gentle guidance, clear communication, and plenty of praise, pet owners can help their puppies develop good habits, build trust, and foster a deep bond that will last a lifetime. Taking care of cats involves a unique set of responsibilities and considerations to ensure their health, happiness, and overall well-being. Cats are independent animals, but they still require attention, love, and proper care. Providing a balanced and nutritious diet, fresh water, and regular veterinary check-ups are essential. Maintaining a clean litter box and providing a stimulating environment with scratching posts, toys, and cozy resting spots help meet their natural instincts and keep them mentally and physically active. Regular grooming, including brushing their fur, trimming nails, and cleaning ears, promotes their overall hygiene. Spending quality time playing and interacting with cats strengthens the human-feline bond and provides necessary mental stimulation. Lastly, providing a safe and secure environment indoors, or supervised outdoor access in a controlled manner, ensures their safety and prevents potential hazards. With attentive care and affection, cats can live happy and fulfilled lives as cherished companions. Working from home allows me to take short breaks throughout the day to spend quality time with your pet. These breaks can include short walks, interactive play sessions, or simply cuddling and bonding with your furry friend! Animals bring joy, companionship, and love into our lives. Providing proper care for them is not only essential for their well-being, but it also showcases your dedication and support for them.
“I was very pleased with Kristina and this visit she kept me informed throughout the entire process and sent videoed and pictures. Fitz looked extremely happy and he received a good report.

I work night so I am home during the day and my fiancé works during the day so she watches the pets during the night. We have a fenced in yard so there is not need to worry about dogs trying to escape while in the backyard. Their first few times going to the restroom are supervised and alone so they can smell the backyard by themselves and not worry about the other dogs running around. After a few times going to the restroom or them being inside then we will allow one of our dogs to come out of their kennel to be introduced properly and let them socialize for about 30-45 minutes before trying to introduce the next pet. Our cats will usually end up going to their room when there is a new pet in the house and won't come out until its time to eat.

About: I have taken care of dogs for more that 20 years. As a child I had many animals, as an adult I have worked with rescues and friends and family animals. I currently clean house part time so I have plenty of time to play and walk or whatever your fur baby may need, as I make my own hours for houses.

About: As a pet owner, sitter, falconer, and former zoo keeper, a majority of my life revolves around animals. Their proper care and well being is of the utmost importance to me. I have been pet sitting just over ten years, while maintaining other jobs but am now pursuing this full time as a means to help support my growing family. In my free time I offer free snake relocation services; as well as reptile and falconry/raptor education events. I have helped whelp litters, bottle feed, tube feed, hand feed (birds). I’m experienced in medication administration, as well as abiding by special diet restrictions. I maintain a federal falconry license as well as a state sub-permit for wildlife rehab. I’ve cared for everything from birds to reptiles, exotic mammals, wildlife to house pets! There are few animals I’m uncomfortable with and for that reason my rates are adjustable for those with special circumstances! I’ve always felt I had a special bond with animals and I’d love to provide your pet with the same love, care and attention I would provide my own. Pet care is a daily part of my life! Fortunately, I livewoth my fiancee who’s just as passionate about animals and am able to leave my own animals with him when I’m working. Animals have been my whole life and I’m in no hurry to change that. I will always show animals the same love, attention, respect and care that I would show my own personal pets. Truthfully, I’ve never met an animal I didn’t love
About: Be able to feel comfortable leaving your pets for a certain amount of time with my fiancé Faith and I whenever you need to go out. Every pet will be treated as if it were our own and will get all the attention it needs and deserves. We offer daily walks, accept special requests, and would love to take care of your companion as if they were our own. We have a two poodles, Australian Shepherd and a German Shepherd along with two cats and we absolutely love our pets and will adore yours as well. We also have a rabbit, gecko and snake so you can say we really are animal lovers. We have many years of personal experience and are looking forward to becoming your companions friend! You won't have to worry about your dogs or cats while you're away. We will treat them and love them like they are ours. I work night so I am home during the day and my fiancé works during the day so she watches the pets during the night. We have a fenced in yard so there is not need to worry about dogs trying to escape while in the backyard. Their first few times going to the restroom are supervised and alone so they can smell the backyard by themselves and not worry about the other dogs running around. After a few times going to the restroom or them being inside then we will allow one of our dogs to come out of their kennel to be introduced properly and let them socialize for about 30-45 minutes before trying to introduce the next pet. Our cats will usually end up going to their room when there is a new pet in the house and won't come out until its time to eat.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 2 years old and have experience with all types of dogs, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who move at their own pace. I currently help care for my mom’s dog Bleu (5 years old) and previously cared for my senior dog, Max, who lived to be 14, so I’m comfortable with all stages of life including the “I just want to nap all day” phase. I’m usually the go-to dog sitter in my family, especially for my grandparents, so I’m used to being on “dog duty” at a moment’s notice. As a former college student-athlete, I’ll actually match your dog’s energy—whether that means long walks, playtime, or a dog park adventure. If your dog has energy, I’ll match it. If they’re a couch potato, I fully respect that lifestyle too. My goal is simple: keep your dog safe, happy, and slightly spoiled while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine since I have a flexible weekday schedule. I currently coach at a university and split time between Texas and New Mexico, so my availability can vary depending on travel for coaching and track meets. I’m typically more available during the weekdays and less available on weekends. When I’m available, I enjoy spending that time walking, playing, and caring for dogs, and I’m able to adjust my routine to meet their needs and schedules. I care for each pet based on their routine and personality to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any specific routines the dog is used to. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. For walks and exercise, I match the dog’s energy level—whether that’s active walks, play sessions, or a slower pace for senior dogs. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible and make sure they feel secure, cared for, and happy while you’re gone.
“Laura is always timely in responding and in arriving! She loves on my pup and I know he is always excited for her to come. She makes sure he gets to eat, walk, and get lots of love while we are out for a bit!”
“Paulina has done a great job of taking care of my babies while I’m away at work. My pups love her and I couldn't be more pleased with the level of care and professionalism provided. She communicates effectively, always letting me know how the walk went with updates and pictures. She goes above and beyond to ensure my dogs are safe and well-cared for. It's such a relief to know that my dogs are in good hands when I'm not around. I wholeheartedly recommend Paulina to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Your dog will love her just as much as mine do!”
About: I grew up with all types of pets, have three dogs of my own. Pets are family and I promise to love yours as my own. I am able to care for your animals all days of the week at any time.

I also am willing to give your pet a ride to the vet or groomer if needed. I am here to accommodate your needs, to make life easier for you and your loving pets.
About: I love all animals and have attended to many dogs and cats over the years. I am consistently drawn to animals and enjoy being able to love and care for them. I have alot of experience with various age groups to include a puppy (a few months old) in training lessons to senior dogs who require medications. The unconditional love one obtains from a furbaby is unmatched. I am here to serve and cannot wait to meet you and your furry babies soon! Im a at home student so Im free most days giving me a-lot of time to be attentive and care for your pets no matter what how extensive there care routine is.

About: Hi! I’m Alana. I’m based in the Conroe/Willis area, but I’m currently a sophomore at UTSA pursuing my master’s degree in Psychology, so I’m also available in the San Antonio area! I keep my calendar updated regularly, but feel free to message me anytime with questions or availability inquiries. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Pets hold such a special place in my heart, not only because they’re adorable, but because of the unconditional love and joy they bring into our lives. Pet sitting is more than just a job to me, it’s something I truly care about. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication routines, or cozy cuddle time, I’m here to give your furry family members the care and attention they deserve. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have always played an active role in their care. I have a 14 year old cat named Tootie, whom I’ve had since I was 4 years old, and I now care for her full time to ensure she stays comfortable and well loved. I also help care for our 13 year old Flat Coated Retriever, Lucy, who has separation anxiety and arthritis, as well as our energetic 7-year-old Golden Retriever, Dino. Caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs has given me hands on experience with administering medications, maintaining routines, exercise, emotional support, and senior pet care. I’ve also pet sat for both dogs and cats outside of my home, and I always approach every experience with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals of all ages. As a pet parent to a senior dog with separation anxiety, a senior cat, and a high energy golden retriever, pet care is already an essential part of my everyday life. My mornings start with the 1st meal of the day, making sure water bowls are filled, they have gone outside & have done their business, & structured walks and individual attention giving my golden retriever the active start he needs, while making sure my senior pets have a calm, predictable routine that suits their pace. Throughout the day, I ensure everyone gets what they need, their dinner, their playtime in the pool, medication, & quiet snuggles. This experience makes me highly adjusted to different energy levels, medical needs, and emotional cues, and it’s made pet care second nature in both my daily and weekly routines. It also means I’m never far from a leash, a toy, or a comforting word because I truly love and live this life every day! As a dedicated and responsible pet sitter, I strive to provide a safe, loving, and stress free environment for your pet while you're away! I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine, whether it's feeding, playtime, walks, or simply cuddling on the couch. I make sure that your pet receives the care and attention they need, any special instructions you provide, from medical needs to behavioral needs. Your pet’s well being is my top priority, and I’m committed to giving them the same level of care and affection I would give to my own. As a girl that can’t imagine life without my 3 pets, you can trust me to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and secure, while keeping you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you can rest easy while you’re away!
About: I've had family pets since I was a child but I have loved and cared for my own pet for that last 8 years. My sweet Chewbacca is my second child and treated as such in our home. He is family and any fur baby that visits will be loved and treated in the same way. I work part-time away from home during the week but I am only gone 4-5 hours. Your pup will not go more than 5 hours without being let out and will be taken on walks daily while visiting. I do not have a fenced yard but I will let your fur baby out on a leash for safety reasons. My sweet Chewbacca is a lover and a licker and will be thrilled to meet your fur baby. I am happy to crate your pup according to your wants and needs but I personally do not crate my dog and do not mind your pup roaming my house if wanted. Please be sure to let me know of your dogs needs so that I can accommodate.
About: Taking care of pets and training puppies is a rewarding and vital aspect of responsible pet ownership. It involves a combination of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement techniques. From housebreaking, teaching basic commands, or socializing them with other animals, providing proper training sets the foundation for a well-behaved and happy companion. Establishing a routine, providing mental and physical stimulation, and offering plenty of love and affection are key elements in raising a well-adjusted puppy. Through gentle guidance, clear communication, and plenty of praise, pet owners can help their puppies develop good habits, build trust, and foster a deep bond that will last a lifetime. Taking care of cats involves a unique set of responsibilities and considerations to ensure their health, happiness, and overall well-being. Cats are independent animals, but they still require attention, love, and proper care. Providing a balanced and nutritious diet, fresh water, and regular veterinary check-ups are essential. Maintaining a clean litter box and providing a stimulating environment with scratching posts, toys, and cozy resting spots help meet their natural instincts and keep them mentally and physically active. Regular grooming, including brushing their fur, trimming nails, and cleaning ears, promotes their overall hygiene. Spending quality time playing and interacting with cats strengthens the human-feline bond and provides necessary mental stimulation. Lastly, providing a safe and secure environment indoors, or supervised outdoor access in a controlled manner, ensures their safety and prevents potential hazards. With attentive care and affection, cats can live happy and fulfilled lives as cherished companions. Working from home allows me to take short breaks throughout the day to spend quality time with your pet. These breaks can include short walks, interactive play sessions, or simply cuddling and bonding with your furry friend! Animals bring joy, companionship, and love into our lives. Providing proper care for them is not only essential for their well-being, but it also showcases your dedication and support for them.
About: I also grew up around farm animals so I'm learned what animals need and how they communicate from a young age. Today, I breed Labradors, so I am well versed in the particular needs of that breed. I have two labs that are my constant companions, and I know they need constant exercise, so we have a large enclosure that allows them run to their heart's content without the need of constantly being leashed, or cramped up in the house. Also I love to take them walking in my neighborhood from time to time as well. Additionally I regularly house sit my sister's two cats and two dogs, so I know how to take care of other's fur babies while respecting their homes. Hi there! I'm Nathan, your reliable and caring pet sitter. With a passion for animal welfare and years of experience, I ensure your furry friend receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you're away. Whether it's in your home or out on a walk, I take proactive measures to ensure your pet is in a safe environment. I meticulously check for any potential hazards, secure doors and windows, and ensure they have access to fresh water and food at all times. Information Nathan would like to know about your pet: Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. Before our scheduled time together, I'll gather detailed information about your pet's needs, including any allergies, dietary requirements, medications, or health concerns they may have. This allows me to tailor my care specifically to your pet's needs.
About: I have a dog who is 4 years old and is great with other dogs, friends and family always asks me to watch their pets because I love it. I’m currently a home maker. My step kids come in the summer and my husband works a lot so it’s normally just me and Lucy at home all day. I have a fenced yard, a very sweet Great Pyrenees named Lucy and live in a very nice neighborhood for walks. Me and Lucy normally go for a walk and then play for a while and she takes a nap while I tidy up. After nap we go potty in the back yard and play and then she wants another nap. Depending on your dogs energy, we can add play time or we can add naps :) Me and my husband moved to Houston recently and I am home with my dog all day long. I definitely have time to give your pet attention. I have a fenced yard and a very sweet dog to keep your fur baby comfy and entertained. She is very good with other dogs and although she’s big, she is very submissive and has never shown signs of aggression.
