Dog Sitting Winona

About: I have been in the veterinary field and pet sitting field for over 10 years, I love animals so much! and will care for yours with love and respect, as if they were my own. I am a full time veterinary technician, but make time for part time pet sitting and pet transportation. I will usually do check ins between 7-8am on the weekdays and Night time check ins around 9pm depending on the week. one week I'll work Friday-Sunday and my check in may be later at night, and the next week I have the weekends free and check ins can be anytime of the day. Depending on distance from my work I can do mid day check ins. I also do over night stays, and have a spot open for 1-2 small animals- same family for boarding. I follow every instruction that is left for me, go above and beyond to keep pet happy. I take pictures and send updates always. I make sure my pets are always left comfortable and safe, well fed and happy. I have a separate, very spacious room where i can safely board 1-2 cats of the same family, or one cat and one small dog, same family. I do have cats of my own but they do not have access to that area. I also accept small critters- reptiles as well. Cage and supplies will need to be provided.

About: Hi, I’m Alyviah! I’m 24, a veteran, and a lifelong animal lover. My crew includes two mini schnauzers, two cats, and a banana ball python, so caring for different personalities and species is part of my everyday life. I’ve had dogs big and small throughout my life. For the past 4 years, I’ve provided walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and boarding for dogs, cats, and reptiles. I’ve also rescued and fostered stray animals and volunteered with local adoption centers. Life can be unpredictable, so I’d love to help when you need an extra hand. I would love to create new memories with your furry, feathered, and scaly babies and hopefully become your go-to gal! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days, including weekends, allowing me to provide reliable care when needed. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and following their routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and make their time away from their owner as stress-free as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions. I also believe communication is important, so I like to provide updates and photos when possible. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.

About: I have a significant amount of experience caring for my own little spaniel of 15 years, who thrived and loved life before passing. I have pet sit for a handful of family friends on several occasions and fall in love with every dog I meet. In the past I have worked with my grandmother, who used to be a local breeder in her town. I learned a lot about caring and nurturing newborn puppies, especially as they grew older. I’ve also obtained experience working at a Petsmart grooming salon, where I gained valuable insight into the process of bathing and grooming various breeds! Although I do currently go to school full time and work a part-time job on the weekends, I am looking for opportunities to do drop-ins and dog walking. I love to be outdoors, so if you have a dog that loves a good hike and long trail, I’m on board! I also love to stay in if you are just needing someone to check in on your friend and care for them in your absence. I do over night stays if needed as long as it works around my current schedule, I am more than open to discussing details if necessary. Anyone’s pup would be safe in my care, I love to treat any animal I interact with as if they were my own. It’s always my first priority to ensure that the animals I care for do not go hungry, get bored, or feel lonely. Know that your bestfriend would be well watched after and receive lots of love by me. I am a dog person through and through.

About: I am retired. I will spend quality time with your dog! I have owned dogs all of my life. Our little Maddie went over the rainbow bridge November 2025 (at age 13 1/2). We miss her but have not taken the plunge for our next dog. Waiting on that special one to enter our lives! In the meantime, I am just pet sitting and enjoying other's dogs. When friends and relatives visit, their dogs are welcome too. Our home is totally dog friendly. We have a fenced in yard, as well as 7 acres to roam with a leash. If they enjoy riding in a side by side, we will go for rides. I am retired. I have plenty of time to play with your pup, and I will make sure they are well cared for, never left alone outdoors, and I have experience with giving medication too. Walking, playing and snuggling will be a part of each day. I have a fenced yard. I get up early to let them out to go potty. Potty breaks are as often as needed. I have experience with all size dogs.

“Teja was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She treated them with love and care as if they were her own. I am so grateful for her help. She is very responsible and reliable. I am so thankful for her. She took care of everything that needed to be taken care of and did extra on top of it. She wasn't late and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving my dogs but Teja really came through for us. She was super friendly and kind to my dogs. She really took a burden off me and I will always be grateful for her assistance. She has great attention to detail. She gave thorough attention to us through the app and our dogs, making sure everything was safe and secure at home. Teja is a very lovely person who truly has a giant heart for doggies! 10/10 Would recommend”

About: I am currently a student of the University of Texas Arlington working on my Master’s degree in Social Work and I am hoping to make some extra money to help pay for some of the college expenses. A few fun facts about me are that I love playing sports, having movie nights, and cooking. Growing up, I had a ton of animals and currently I don’t have any pets so I miss loving on all the fur babies. I love spending time loving and playing with dogs and I believe this is a great opportunity for me to be able to do that, make a little extra money, and get some exercise in as well. I am working full time from 8:30am to 5pm, however, I would be open to doing a walk and check in during my lunch hour and anytime before or after work. When the pets are in my home, they are allowed to roam free and play all they want as long as they are potty trained. In the clients home I respectfully abide by the owners instructions left for me.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. Also I’be work at different vet clinics through my life.so I have the experience to take care of your animals in best way possible. I’m currently a bather at my clinic so if baths and nail trims is something you want added on that is something I can do for you as well. I do work during the week but have weekends off and if it close to work during the week I can stop by during my breaks to play and let them out to potty. I have my own furry babies that are super friendly to play with if you want that environment or they can have my divided attention.

About: I have experience dog sitting small and big dogs, and pet sitting for families I know, including caring for my bosses’ dogs and cat when they were away. I also grew up with a dog, so I understand how important it is to give pets love, attention, and a safe routine. I’m comfortable helping with feeding, walks, basic care and keeping owners updated while they’re away. I always make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions from the owner, because every dog has their own personality and needs. I currently work part time and remote, so my schedule is very flexible. I can help during the day and/or over night as needed I cannot bring pets home as I live in an apartment where no pets are allowed, but I can definitely go and stay at clients house as needed

“Rachel was very responsive any time I needed to update something. She came twice a day to care for my cats while I was gone. Each visit she sent me a text and pictures, which is what I like. Litter boxes were clean and cats were calm when I returned. I will definitely use Rachel again.”

About: I focus on making dogs feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their owners are away. Whether I’m providing drop-in visits, walks, or house sitting, I stick closely to each dog’s normal routine. This can include walks, playtime, feeding schedules, potty breaks, cuddle time, and simply keeping them company so they feel relaxed and secure in their own environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. As a proud dog mom to a husky, caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life. Beyond caring for my own dog, I’ve helped family and friends by looking after their pets while they travel or have busy schedules. These experiences have taught me how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone else’s furry family member. I work full-time as a manager, but pet care fits naturally into my routine. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need during my visits. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care and give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. Because I have a dog at home, I do not offer boarding services. While my husky is friendly, I believe being realistic about the services I can provide helps ensure the best experience and safety for every pet in my care. Dog mom to a husky, caring for dogs is already part of my routine — through walks, care, and helping my family pets feel loved Because of the dog I have at home, I do not offer the boarding service. Although friendly, it just is not a realistic service for me.

About: Hi there, I am Taylor! I live in East Texas where I helped many animals find their way back to health by providing the medicine they needed, a caring environment and lots of love. I am responsible, a care giver, and love animals. I think animals need just as much love and attention as any individual does.

About: I have had a dog or cat in my life for over 5 decades. My parents raised dogs and taught me early in life how to care for pets. My heart has always belonged to some sort of pet from rabbits, guinea pigs to dogs and cats. Big dogs, smaller dogs and everything in between. I have loved them all. I am confident in my love and ability to care for all pets and appreciate my time with them. I feel pets are an essential part of my every day life. I am a Doggie Mama to 3 Basset hounds and a Rat Terrier who thinks he is a Basset hound. Our life is really blessed and very good and we wouldn't change a thing.

“She worked with me with my 3 puppers, and was able to drop in without meeting them ahead and made them feel so safe and happy. One of my little ones has bad anxiety and I’m so grateful to her that she came and saw them in the middle of my long shift and gave them an outside break to play!”

About: When I was younger we had 3 dogs, they were my best girls! Over the years we had rescued 8 cats, one of our cats may have some autism but she is so gentle and just needed some love. The trick is to let them come to you so they see you as a safe space! I currently work part-time but I am not working as much this summer, I may have a few softball lessons since I play college softball. My morning and afternoons are mainly free, in the afternoon is when I workout but I am very flexible! We used to have a fenced in area in our backyard for our dogs and a pool deck (no pool) but had to tear down our deck and now we have a beautiful grassy green area with lots of plants! Our home inside is very pet friendly we have cat and dog toys as well as cat and dog food/treats!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, both professionally and personally. I worked at Shelley Drive Animal Clinic for four years, where I cared for dogs and cats by administering medications, feeding, cleaning kennels and litter boxes, monitoring their health, and ensuring they were comfortable and well cared for. Outside of work, I have a farm where I care for my horse and two dogs, giving me hands-on experience with animals of different sizes and personalities. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Animal Science. Whether your pet needs playtime, medication, or extra patience and attention, you can trust that they will receive compassionate, reliable, and knowledgeable care with me. Pet care is woven into my life through work, farm responsibilities, and animal science studies, giving me hands-on experience and compassion for animals each day. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I will provide a loving, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels secure while you’re away. Every pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and personalized care based on their individual needs and routine. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, going for walks, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in compassionate, trustworthy, and capable hands.
