Dog Sitting in Wharton

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 50+ years. In my 20s I bread dogs and throughout my life I’ve owned dogs from cocker spaniels to chihuahuas to labs, I truly love them all. A side hobby of mine is making organic, raw dog food for my own dogs that I’ve been doing for the past 8 years. I’m a substitute teacher and love animals. Since the school year is coming to an end I would like to fill me days taking care of dogs and cats. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. When I visit your home, I’ll provide loving care, plenty of attention, and follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and happy. From cuddles and playtime to walks and feeding, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own.

“Paola took great care of our pets! She even dealt with a carbon monoxide detector with a low battery. I loved the pictures and updates she sent daily - they put my mind at ease that my babies were well taken care of while I was out of town. Highly recommend!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little, and there’s rarely been a time I didn’t have a pet of my own to care for. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting (both cats and dogs) from neighbors and friends and am looking forward to doing so for your fur babies too! I work from home as an artist which leaves me with a very flexible schedule to give your pets the attention and care that they need. Most of my availability is weekdays but it changes week to week. The pet care I offer includes walks and drop-in visits. You can rest assured your pets will be loved and well taken care of with me. Please communicate any preferences or concerns and I will do my best to accommodate!

“Claire watched our poodle puppy Pippa for a night while we were out at a baseball gam, and she was terrific. Shes a great communicator and easy to work with. She offered to come by for a meet and greet to get to know me and Pippa before watching her, which I really appreciated. She sent frequent updates and pictures during her stay - and I could tell that my dog was having a great time with her. I highly recommend Claire for anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for years, both personally and professionally. I previously worked in a grooming salon where I regularly handled large and giant breeds, helped with bathing and nail trims, and worked with dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. Friends and family have also relied on me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone patient, reliable, and attentive caring for your pet, and I always try to make animals feel safe and comfortable with me. I currently have a flexible schedule and make pet care a priority in my routine. I’m available for daytime, evening, and weekend care depending on the booking. I always try to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day. I always do my best to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, energy levels, and body language so pets can stay as stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also have experience working with dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels through grooming salon work and personal pet care.

About: I have over 6 years of experience caring for my own dog, as well as helping to take care of my cousin's dogs. I took care of them by feeding, walking, and giving them water. I also completed an internship at Rockaway Veterinary Hospital, where I gained hands-on experience with basic care and monitoring pets' health and behavior. I feel comfortable working with any animals as long as they aren't too aggressive. I loved working and being with animals since I was little, and in the future, I hope to work on a farm or as a vet. I'm going to college, and I'm available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to care for your pets. Any time works for me before 8:00 pm. I usually take care of pets by taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving them water. The service I provide is going to the client's house and taking care of their pet. When pet sitting, I update the client by sending pictures and texting them about the pet's progress. In case of an emergency, I will take the pet to the vet.

About: With over 8 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I bring calm, capable, and reliable care to every pet I look after. I’m fully comfortable with medication administration, monitoring special conditions, and supporting pets with special needs who may require extra attention or patience. I treat every animal like my own, whether they’re a dog who loves playtime or a cat who needs a gentle, understanding approach. I’m extremely comfortable with both cats and dogs, including seniors, shy personalities, and pets who need medical or behavioral support. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first with me. My schedule is very open, as I’m currently doing online school and not working outside the home. This allows me to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine as much as possible. The only time I’m unavailable each day is during my lunch break from 12:30–2:00 PM, when I spend time with my husband. Outside of that window, I’m fully available for drop‑ins, walks, and pet care. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs and create a schedule that works best for them. Whether you need consistent daily visits or occasional help, I’ll do my best to accommodate you. I do take Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day off, but I’m available throughout the rest of the year. Your pets’ comfort and routine matter to me, and I’m here to make things as smooth and stress‑free as possible. I do not bring pets into my home, as I believe most animals feel safest and happiest in their own familiar environment. Keeping your pet in their routine reduces stress, prevents confusion, and allows me to give care that feels natural and comfortable for them. It also ensures I don’t disrupt the established routines of my own cats, who thrive on structure. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with the utmost respect. Every home and every pet is different, and I take the time to understand what your pet needs to feel secure — whether that’s sticking to a feeding schedule, maintaining a quiet environment, or following specific medical or behavioral guidelines. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and trustworthy experience for both you and your pets. Your home and your animals are cared for with the same attention and respect I give my own.

“Emily was wonderful with my 2 cats! One of them is shy around new people, and he warmed up to her right away. Definitely will be rebooking with Emily!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I’m comfortable working with high-energy pets, shy animals, seniors, and those with special needs who require extra patience and attention. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your pet needs calm, dependable care or lots of playtime and activity, I’m happy to provide a fun, loving, and attentive experience. I work three days a week and have four days completely off, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and lots of playtime and attention. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, especially high-energy pets who need extra exercise and engagement. I’m also comfortable maintaining routines and giving pets the patience and consistency they need to feel comfortable and cared for. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Growing up on a farm taught me how to read animal behavior, handle different temperaments, and stay patient in new situations. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, seniors, and animals with special needs. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and owner preferences closely. In a client’s home, I prioritize cleanliness, supervision, safety, and making sure each pet feels loved and stress-free.

“My Dalmatian Freddy had great time playing with Kavin and his pup Kobe. Kevin is punctual, knows dogs well and how to put them at ease. I do recommend Kevin.”

Weekends work best or later in weekdays. Weekends are completely available and weekdays would need to be scheduled past 5.

“Arely gave Kimmy , my fur baby, lots of attention, and was on time, and followed my directions, that I left. She took the time for a meet and greet also before I took vacation. She sent lots of pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Arely to watch your fur babies. She is very responsible.”

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience, from bouncing puppies and feisty kittens to wise senior pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for both dogs and cats — each with their own unique personality and needs. I specialize in puppy training basics, gentle leash walks, and helping new pets adjust to their routines. I also have extensive experience with senior pet care, including administering medications, providing mobility support, and making sure older pets stay comfortable and loved. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or cuddle breaks, I make sure every pet feels cared for like family. I treat every animal like my own — with patience, respect, and lots of love (and maybe a few extra treats). I currently work in a hybrid setup so I can easily carr for your pet! Currently I am available on Mondays and Fridays throughout the day as those days I work from home, available on weekends, and after 6PM Tuesday-Thursday I believe that establishing trust is the key to every successful relationship with an animal — whether meeting a new pet or caring for one I already know. I approach each interaction with patience and respect, ensuring every pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m attentive to their individual boundaries, offering affection and playtime without ever pushing them beyond their comfort level.

About: Flexible hours available at your fingertips! With each pet having their own special personality, I easily adapt to its care. A lover of all animals and here for whatever they need. Ready to offer my five star service - if they like cuddles, they’ll get cuddles. If they prefer space, they’ll get space. With having two family dogs that I help take care of - both of which are almost 13 years old - I have plenty of experience and care to provide to make them feel comfortable and have a great time away. Whether it be a run/stroll through the park or comfortably watching television, I’m ready to make them feel easily at home and make you feel at ease knowing I’m with them!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I grew up with 2 beautiful dogs one since I was 5. I’ve owned 2 other dogs since and have been responsible for walking, feeding, & taking care of them my entire life. I’ve trained them and have taken care of large puppy litters 3 times. I know my way around dogs very well and have always loved them. I’m a dog person 100% and can handle any type of dog. I’ve owned large, medium & small dogs as well as puppies. Bonus, if your dog is very active I could run with them as well instead of only walking. I’m currently working only part-time. I’m available basically every day at most times during the day and I’m flexible. I can cover weekdays & weekends. I love pets and treat them with care. I’ve never believed in pet violence. The care I’d give to your dog should be the least of your concerns. I love dogs and get along with them very well.

About: Over the past 5+ years, I’ve cared for the pets of friends and family, not as a business, but as a way to support them during vacations, work trips, or emergencies. It’s something I’ve always done out of love and a genuine desire to help. My wife also grew up having different pets, including cats, dogs, and other small animals. Together, we share a strong bond with animals and a commitment to provide them with comfort, safety, and affection. I work 100% from home, which allows me to provide consistent attention and care to the pets I look after. Your dog will enjoy plenty of companionship, playtime, and bathroom breaks throughout the day. They’ll never feel alone or ignored. We live in a comfortable, pet-friendly townhouse where your pet will be treated like family. Pets are welcome on the furniture and free to roam throughout the house. There are no restrictions on movement inside, so they can relax and settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. While we don’t have a backyard, we make sure dogs get regular outdoor time with safe, on-leash walks around our quiet, secure complex and the surrounding neighborhood. We never allow pets off-leash while outside, under any circumstances, to ensure their safety at all times.
