Cat Sitting Westlake

About: I have professional experience working with dogs in structured daycare settings, including as a Canine Coach at Dogtopia. I managed playrooms of up to 35–40 dogs at a time and worked with a wide range of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’m comfortable reading dog body language, supporting safe group play, and staying calm and confident with both high-energy and anxious dogs. I also worked with Southlake Crittercare as a dog driver and handler, safely transporting dogs to and from daycare and assisting with playgroups organized by energy level and play style. In both roles, I cared for boarding dogs and handled daily routines such as feeding and administering medications. Paying close attention to individual needs and keeping dogs comfortable and secure was always a priority. Outside of my professional roles, I’ve provided in-home and overnight pet sitting for friends and family over the years. This includes caring for a home with four Basset Hounds of varying ages, including senior dogs requiring multiple medications. I understand how important consistency and clear communication are when someone else is caring for your pets. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be attentive and reliable with pet care throughout the week. I value routine and consistency, and I strive to make sure each pet receives the time and attention they need. Clear communication and planning are important to me, so owners always know what to expect. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping routines consistent and stress low. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs, and I stay attentive to changes in behavior or appetite. My background in dog daycare and handling has given me strong skills in reading body language and managing different temperaments, including high-energy, anxious, and senior dogs. For walks, I prioritize leash safety, awareness of surroundings, and each dog’s individual pace and comfort level. I treat clients’ homes with respect and take care to keep pets secure by following door, gate, and leash protocols. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.

“Claudia is a phenomenal pet sitter! She went above and beyond with in-home visits for my dogs, ensuring they were not only well-cared-for but also happy and relaxed. Claudia provided regular updates and photos. I could tell my dogs absolutely adored her. I highly recommend Claudia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Five stars all the way!”

“Lauryn took incredible care of our cat for a little over three weeks. We know our cat wasn't the easiest at first with her injections, and we are so grateful to Lauryn and her husband for stepping up, trying different things, and finding a creative way to handle an elderly cat safely. It gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. Thank you for going above and beyond. We highly recommend Lauryn!”

“Daniella was amazing! She was super communicative, reliable, and clearly cared so much about my dog. I loved the updates and photos—it gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy and well taken care of when I got back. I already booked with her again and highly recommend her!”

About: I have had 3 dogs including my life and loved caring for them. Feeding them, playing with them, and taking them on walks! I had a senior dog of 10 years. He couldent walk for his last couple months so sometimes I would carry him small distances he was 90 pounds. I am available all day every day except for mondays from 5:30-9. And when I go on a trip. But I will let you know on the calendar. I only walk dogs and check on them in your house. I can do whatever you need! I can feed them, walk them, play with them, and give them medication.

“Peyton was amazing! Great communication and went above and beyond for my babies. Would definitely recommend.”

“This is the second time Ari has kittysat for me, and she is just as awesome again. She arrives with on time and searches for the kitties until she finds one to photo. She scoops the litter and does a great job with feeding.”

Becky G.

“Good communication, punctual, and on time. She checked in on our cat for a week, and sent pictures everyday so we could see how our cat was doing. We were never worried for our cat while we were gone.”

“Kaylan was great with my cat, very communicative and gave me regular updates with pictures. I have peace of mind going out of town knowing Kaylan is checking on Penny!”

Christina T.

“Kim is a rockstar! She is so great with our kitties! She has watched them several times and they have started to treat her like a member of the family. There's no one else I would trust to take such good care of our babies.”

About: I have two dogs at home and have cared for one since he was around 4 weeks old and the other is a rescue that has been with me since he was 2 years old, both of them are 5 now and the rescue was hard to gain the trust of but I was the first in my family that he trusted and goes to when he's scared. I currently attend Southwestern University in Georgetown. Due to classes I am available primarily on the weekends and on Fridays. Although during weekdays I can help pet-sit in the evening, it truly depends on the day though. I care for the pets at my home and others' pets by mainly giving the animals the space/boundaries they need or want. I think it's important to read and understand their body language to properly care for not only the animals but also yourself.

“Annabelle took wonderful care of my senior cat Ace while I was out of town for the Fourth of July weekend! She was extremely punctual, reliable, and genuinely attentive. Knowing Ace is an older cat who loves company, she happily stayed longer during several visits just to give him extra playtime and cuddles so he wouldn’t feel lonely. He warmed up to her immediately and always seemed happy and relaxed when I checked in. Annabelle sent lots of photos and updates throughout the whole trip, which gave me peace of mind. She clearly loves animals and treats every pet like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, I’ll definitely be booking her again!”

About: I love all dogs and Gods creatures. I have been around animals all my life. I used to sit outside as a kid on my grandmas porch giving the stray cats attention. If anyone in my family had a dog I would find myself on the floor spending quality time with the dog. I also have a special place in my heart for elderly dogs. I want them to be comfortable and happy. I work part time from home, so I have plenty of time to give care and love to your dog. I can also take them for walks if they need exercise! I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run around and have potty breaks. I can make a cozy spot at bedtime for your pet if you are able to provide their crate. I will make sure they are fed, safe and happy.

“Once again, our pup had an amazing time with Samantha and we felt totally at ease! She is observant, kind, trustworthy, great with animals, and excellent at communication. We wouldn’t want to use anyone else! It’s hard to be away from your pet, but having them in Samantha’s care makes it 100x easier!!”

Amanda K.

“Kristen is great and has been keeping us updated on the cats. She was really flexible with the approach (our cats are extremely shy) and the cats eventually got comfortable. Thank you!”

Amber C.

“Sandra had been amazing! I had knee surgery and needed someone to help with Nyx's daily walks. Sandra took care of early mornings. She was always on time and Nyx was excited to see her each morning. I will definitely use Sandra's services again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of pups since I can remember I had my first fur baby when I was in my early 20's. I love outdoor walks, dog walking is a plus for me. I enjoy taking care of animals, giving them the attention they need and give them the love they deserve. I am constantly around animals every day and I love it. I do currently work part-time in my days off I do take care of my 8 year old nephew and he's 4 year old toy poodle name Jordi which I enjoy I feed him play with him, give him hes potty breaks, do walks with them both. Its in my DNA I love to take care of people and furr animals. I also do have a 2 year old cat her name is Athena I got her when she was 4 weeks old and love every second of it. Our days consist of cuddling she likes being rubbed. I would do drop in visits, make sure to feed them play with them, would love to do walks with them and make sure they are happy and comfortable.

“Melissa saves the day as always! Our doggies love her (the puppy is warming up but he’s a bit insane). Highly recommend her to anyone who needs an awesome doggie sitter!”
