About: !FREE SERVICE AFTER FIRST BOOKING AND REVIEW! I’ve been pet sitting for several years, and have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, basic routines, and giving pets plenty of attention while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is different, so I always take the time to learn their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m also comfortable caring for both younger, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they need. I’m able to plan my day around walks, feeding times, playtime, check-ins, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I’m also available on weekends and am happy to spend extra time with pets who need more attention or companionship. I enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor play are something I genuinely look forward to! When caring for pets, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any special routines your pet has. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and boundaries. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

About: All animals I care for are treated as my own. With hugs, kisses and scritches! Animals have always been such a huge love in my life! Reliable and last minute dog-sitting is my forte! Currently, I have relocated from rural Ohio to San Marcos. My schedule has full availability and flexibility. After relocating, I no longer have scheduled / regular homes. All animals will be respected by their own schedules, wants and needs. When they want to play, we play. Body language is a key factor in pet-sitting, it is important for me to gauge what the animals need while taking care of them.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats most of my life, and being around them has always been one of my greatest joys! I’m definitely the person who can’t walk past a dog without stopping to say hello and give some love and pets. ❤️ I’ve raised my own dogs and cats from puppies and kittens through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with all stages of life, from puppy and kitten training and playful energy to the extra love, patience, and care that senior dogs need. I truly love making every dog and kitty feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like one of my own! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. My weekends are also flexible. I’m able to check on your animals feed them, play with them or walk them. I have a fenced in backyard with a super sweet and playful dog to keep your dog engaged and happy! I can crate your dog if needed!

About: I have had dogs in the home my whole life and therefore have extensive knowledge and skills to provide your animal with the best care possible, Additionally, I have experience caring for animals in a boarding facility as a kennel technician as well as in a hospital setting as a veterinary assistant. I will be able to assist with a variety of care tasks including basic grooming (baths, ear cleaning, nail trims), exercise, and medication administration of all kinds (including injections). I am a pre veterinary student hoping to enter into veterinary school within the next few years. I work 3 days a week and will have limited availability for overnight stays depending on location. Outside of that, I am able to do drop-in visits and provide your animal with enrichment, exercise, and other care tasks. My home is not available for pet boarding but I am more than happy to travel to your home to provide any necessary pet care.

About: I’m a 21-year-old who absolutely loves dogs and genuinely enjoys spending time with them! I’ve been dog sitting and walking my dogs for years, including a Cane Corso and a Goldendoodle, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also had a Yorkie and Golden Retriever of my own in the past who I loved dearly, which gave me even more experience and appreciation for the bond between dogs and their owners. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and will treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just relaxing by my side, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they need! I’m currently a student and not working another job, so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available from early mornings through the evening and can provide reliable, attentive pet care throughout the day. I provide loving, patient, and reliable care while following each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention for your fur babies!

“Very reliable, a genuine animal lover! Alex takes lots of pictures too, so I know Gertie had fun. Being a puppy Gertie is a handful and we really appreciate the help.”

Throughout my childhood to the present I have owned and cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, mice, rats, hamsters, fish, pigs, goats, geese, doves, chickens, as well as reptiles and amphibians. In addition, I have worked in wildlife rehabilitation, carried out trap, neuter release efforts for feral cats, volunteered at animal shelters, and have experience administering medications. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pet(s) while you are away by keeping them safe and loved in the comfort and convenience of your own home. My first priority is your pet's and your home's safety and protection. I am fully vaccinated to protect your family and mine. My services are customized to suit your pet's individual needs, and I treat your pet like my own and ensure that they receive all of the individualized love and attention they deserve and need while you're away. I am responsible, conscientious, reliable, and professional, and guarantee that your pet(s) will be safe and happy while you are away. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

About: What sets me apart? It starts with over 25 years of experience and a heart that’s been full of tail wags, happy barks, and puppy kisses for as long as I can remember. I’ve shared my life with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—and I know that every pup is unique, with their own quirks, routines, and needs. That’s exactly how I treat them. From energetic puppies who need structure and play, to seniors who just want a comfy place to rest and someone to move at their pace, I’ve cared for them all. I have hands-on experience with whelping, administering medications (pills, drops, and injections), and tailoring meals to special diets—whether it’s raw, home-cooked, or kibble with a side of cheese bribes. But beyond the to-dos, I deeply understand dog behavior and body language. I can spot when a dog’s anxious, when they need space, or when they’re saying “more belly rubs, please.” I’ll never rush a nervous pup or overlook the needs of a high-energy one—I meet every dog with patience, respect, and love. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, a game of fetch, or simply sitting together while they snooze, I’m here to give your dog the kind of care that feels like home. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and genuinely loved while you're away. I work Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 4:30 PM, so at this time I can provide drop-in visits after 4pm. However, I am available every other Monday at anytime (next Monday off is May 19th). But the weekends are all mine! I’m available all day to spend quality time with your pet. Whether it’s a fun trip to the dog beach, a scenic hike, or simply a quiet visit to keep your family member company, I’ll tailor the time to what they enjoy most. Your pet will always get the care, attention, and love they need—every day of the week. When I care for pets, it’s always in the comfort of your home—where they feel most secure and relaxed. I believe in keeping their routine as normal as possible and following your instructions to the letter, because no one knows your pet better than you do. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. From double-checking doors and gates to making sure leashes are secure and environments are calm, I’m attentive to every detail. I take the time to understand your pet’s likes, dislikes, and boundaries so they feel safe and respected. I’m also here to support you as the pet parent. I stay responsive, communicative, and always open to feedback—because trust goes both ways, and your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s comfort.

About: Your dogs will tell you if I'm the best (besides you), the most comforting, peaceful, strong, safe, reliable and loving care giver he or she knows. I've cared for dogs that fit in the palm of my hand to big and strong breeds and I love them all. I'm available for dog/house sitting, walks or drop in visits. I'm a doting Mom who your dogs will love and look forward to seeing. I'm also a capable and respectful house sitter while following your dog's routine or offering new adventures. I've cared for puppies and elderly dogs (including my own) with special needs - administering meds, using inhalers and dealing with limited mobility. PET FIRST AID and DISASTER RESPONSE TRAINING - Sep 2019. In addition, I successfully completed the knowledge and skill evaluations for the Emergency Care & Safety Institute's Course on Pet First Aid and Disaster Response through the San Diego Humane Society. The safety and well being of your dog and home are paramount to me. I'm excited to be providing dog care on a FULL TIME basis. Loving and capable care is provided in your dog's familiar home setting making it the perfect "STAYCATION." Potty breaks are at least every 2 hours. Your dogs will quickly trust in my consistent, gentle and loving care. Because they are my focus, there's always time for play along with exercise and lots of snuggles.

About: I have owned a dog for eight years. Before getting him I had done research on dog breeds for many years and because of that, I know about most dog breeds' temperament and exercise needs. Plus, I have some training experience. If you need me to brush or wash your dog, I can also do that with an additional charge. For the most part, my schedule is pretty flexible, especially on the weekdays. If you need serviced for your dog, please message me 3 to 7 days in advance. The sooner the better, that way I can add you to my schedule. If I walk your dog, the dog will be on a leash at all times and I would personally not walk your dog at a dog park because I do not trust surrounding off-leash dogs. If there are not any dogs in the dog park then I may consider taking the dog to the dog park.
