House Sitting in Vanderpool

“I never had to worry about our sweet girl while Mya was staying at our house for the week. Mya was always easy to communicate with and gave great updates. We felt 100% comfortable with her at our home with our dog and we could fully relax on our vacation knowing everything was taken care of and our dog was getting the best attention.”

“Laura Rose was great - friendly and helpful. Laura was very good with our dogs, and they and our house were well taken care of. We appreciated receiving photos while we were gone. A positive experience for me and the dogs.”

About: I've taken care of pets for around 16 years as an adult, for others and myself! I would say I have worked with dogs/puppies for about of those years off and on. This included some basics of beginner training for a puppy. My background is in human services, so I love people and pets :) It would be my pleasure to help support with your pet in your home, either drop ins, for a certain number of hours, or overnight, including house sitting. I do best with small to medium dogs, or some larger dogs who do not jump, pull on the lease, etc. I work from home, remotely at this time, so I have a lot of flexibility, and some weeks I can stay in home, and even drive a ways for these situations. Locally, Kerrville, Ingram, and within about a 10-15 miles radius, I can work in some regular daytime stays or drop-in. When caring for pets in my client's home, I focus on following the schedule and engagement in ways the pets do well with. I know some pets are more particular than others about schedules, so this is important. Regular movement is also important to me, so dogs will not be in crates longer than needed/requested. I aim to be available to engage regularly for longer stays as well!

“Kaitlyn did an incredible job at taking care of our FOUR dogs and one little black cat! She kept us updated and sent lots of photos, filled out the Rover cards with details regarding each one, and if they ate or not. Our grand-dog Miley has a compromised leg and our other dog, Dixie , has major anxiety and Kaitlyn did an outstanding job taking care of them and administering medications. I did not have to worry while I was out of town and I will definitely be using her again! Highly recommend!”

“Edie embodies exceptional dependability as a dog caretaker due to her unwavering commitment and reliability. When taking care of our Krypto, she ensured he received timely meals, regular walks, and ample affection. Our dog is usually quite nervous around strangers, yet she quickly developed trust and put us at ease. Edie diligently followed instructions, administered medications as needed, and prioritized the well-being and safety of Krypto. Edie's reliability fosters a nurturing and stable environment, earning her confidence and appreciation from dogs and their owners alike.”
