Cat Sitting Wyldwood

About: I am an avid animal lover who has seven dogs and two cats of her own. I love taking care of all animals and giving them the best life they can possibly have. All of my animals have had different personalities, so I know how to deal with all different types of animals and adjust to their needs. I’ve also fostered a number of dogs and am patient working with dogs that come from a variety of backgrounds and quirks! I am currently working remotely full-time, so I have the ability to hang out and play with the animals all day! I can keep an eye on all of them throughout the day and bring them outside to play or hang out in the fenced yard! I have a fenced yard, a gate to cover any stairs in case the animal cannot be near stairs, plenty of animal beds, food bowls, water, toys, etc. I also have three large dog crates if needed.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, have fostered both and been a cat owner. I have also helped friends and acquaintances with their pets while they are away. My experience includes walking dogs, scooping 💩, changing litter boxes, providing food and play to pets, and completing general house sitting tasks. I have also administered eye medications to kittens before and allergy meds to dogs. I have also lived on a couple of farms and helped take care of horses, goats, chickens, and even a rabbit. I would love to take care of your pet and offer you the peace of mind to know I will love on and care for them as if they were my own :) I’m self-employed, so I have plenty of time available to care for your pets. Specifically, I am a Certified Public Accountant who quit her consulting job to become a part-time farmer! I am currently operating my own micro-farm growing organic vegetables and flowers in South Austin which allows my schedule to be very flexible. I am available for boarding, house-sitting, pet walking and drop-in visits to feed and play with cats and dogs (and other animals on a case by case basis). I am happy to visit and care for a variety of pets by feeding and playing with them as well as helping with any household tasks including plant watering, checking the mail and throwing out trash/recycling. I am currently living in a tiny home on my own on a large plot of land with plenty of access to unfenced outdoor space if you are interested in boarding your pets. I am also very happy to come to your home for drop-in visits and/or to stay overnight if you and your pets would be more comfortable with that option. For dogs, I am happy to spend time indoors with them playing with toys and giving them good belly scratches as well as take them outdoors either into the backyard and/or on walks. I have experience both with big dogs including a German Shepherd, Great Pyrenees lab mix, Australian Shepherds, and shelter dogs as well as smaller dogs including a Teacup Pomeranian and an Iggie. I’m very active, so if your dog has a lot of energy and likes to go on runs, I am happy to run with them as well. For cats, I am happy to match their energy levels - if they are playful and energetic, I engage with them and encourage play. If they prefer to sleep or rest or are more shy, I am happy to just be around and pet them/brush them if they would like or just give them space. I am happy to care for other pets if requested and I am comfortable with the care instructions. I have previously cared for a tortoise, which mainly consisted of feeding him and giving him water.

“Very professional and great with our dogs. She’s also very confident around our dogs, which is very important to us, because we have two active breeds. We definitely recommend Frances for all Rover services 👍.”

“Here is an edited version of your review with polished grammar, smoother transitions, and fixed punctuation, while keeping your warm and sincere tone intact: **Kellie was absolutely amazing!** We were scrambling to find someone last minute after a previous sitter canceled on us, and she stepped right in. She took wonderful care of our dog—taking her out daily, giving her so many cuddles, and making sure she always had food and fresh water. Not having to stress about our dog while we were away for a week meant everything to us. Kellie is responsible, caring, and communicative. She sent daily updates on potty breaks and activities, always including plenty of photos. Our dog can be high-energy, but it was clear from the photos that she felt completely comfortable and happy with Kellie. We highly recommend Kellie to anyone looking for a great pet sitter, and we look forward to booking with her again in the future!”

“She is so great with our older dog. Her ability to comfort and allow Ro to do things on her own time is appreciated. She even gets love from our cats, which can be tricky.”

About: Growing up with a veterinarian mother, we always had multiple pets in the home! When I was 22 I adopted my soulmate, Peaches. Five years later, she was diagnosed with heart failure at a terrifying hospital visit. My quick reaction, and the incredible Dr's, saved her life. She lived another happy 10 months with vigilance and guidance. Having to pill her twice a day, and keep a close eye, I became a pro! At the same time, I was taking care of clients pets, never missing a beat. Special skills include giving medications, insulin, incredible patience and attention to detail. When your babies are with me, they're treated as my own. I won't miss a thing! I am available, and used to, a full time pet care schedule! Having just moved from my last position in Virginia, I'm ready to establish an incredible client base here in Bastrop. I have a large fenced yard at home, on a quiet street. Pets will never be left unattended, and will always be on leash when leaving the home. Pets will always be handled gently and with care, while maintaining a strong grip on the leash! Water bowls will be clean and filled at every visit, every time. In home cameras are welcome to keep a close eye on your baby! I will also be snapping pictures for you to follow along on our adventures.

“Kyle was amazing! He provided drop ins for my 3 dogs while I was out of town with only a few days notice. He was willing to stop by for a meet and greet a few days before I left so I was able to walk through their routine with him. He also sent several pictures of my dogs during his check ins. Honestly, some of the best pictures I have of them and they always looked so happy in each of them. Will definitely be booking again.”

“Mara was awesome with our cats!! She was great at reaching out, and just generally checking in about the boys. She also was super attentive when we were teaching her how to administer mediation to one of our cats We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Michelle is beyond amazing! She came through last minute to assist with my pets! I felt very comfortable with her and she assured me that everything would be fine. I would definitely use her services again!”

About: Growing up in the country, I have grown up with all sorts of animals (dogs, cat, rabbit, cows, longhorns). However, dogs have been the animal with me throughout my entire life. We got our first family dog when I was 6 and have had 3-10 dogs at a time since then! Needless to say, I'm definitely a dog person. I have experience feeding, walking, and washing dogs, and can do some basic self-taught training (sitting, down, shake). I also have house-sat and pet-sit for some family friends' and my friends' parents on several occasions. My house is full of animal love. I have a 3-year-old Plott hound mix (named Nova), a 4-year-old German Shepard (named Goose), and a 8 month old cat (named Ary). They all have their own special quirks, but are so funny and love running and playing! Nova is very food motivated and loves to run in circles and play in water, Goose is very toy motivated and could play frisbee for hours without a break if we let him, and Ary is the definition of a "lap cat" but loves being our pest control when she see an bug. I hope you give me the chance to give your fur babies some extra love and attention! I'm a full-time social worker! I can provide overnight visits whenever, but walking and drop-ins are only available on weekends and then during school scheduled breaks (my availability will reflect it)! In my home, one of my dogs is crated due to her liking to get in the trash. So, I am easily able to crate your dog if necessary and of course feed, water, play, and walk them as needed! Also, more than willing to send you pictures of your dogs throughout the visit if that's something you want :)

About: Hello there! My name is Sofía, and I can’t wait to care of your pet! Here are some things you should know about me : I have one dog living with me. I have volunteered at animal shelters, wildlife rescue facilities, and animal therapy organizations. When volunteering at shelters, I bathed dogs, cleaned up their poop, played with, and walked them as well as played with cats. Additionally, I enjoy outdoor activities very much, so I am definitely in shape to walk your dogs and play with them. I hope I can be of service to you and your dog(s). My backyard is unfenced, except for the patio area and a room sized square for dogs to pee/poop in. Dogs are not allowed on furniture, but they can be on the bed if they stay on top of the blanket. If you know your dog won’t run away, we can play in the unfenced area of the backyard :) I do have a 30 ft leash that I normally use to play with my dog outside. I work a few hours during the week, 2:30-6pm from Monday to Friday, but I am usually available outside of this chunk of time (plus traveling time). I will care for your pets however is needed and instructed. I have taken care of multiple senior dogs and dogs that take oral medication.

“Brenda did a great job taking care of our 3 cats with special dietary and medical needs while we were gone. She sent photo updates with each visit and did a great job keeping us updated on their well being. We will definitely book her again in the future and I would recommend her to anyone else.”

“Yuridia saved us after our regular sitter didn't show up or return our calls, we were already gone and I was left scrambling after our flight landed. She answered quickly and she communicated clearly when she had to adjust one of the drop in times and made sure they would be good with the delay.”

“Kaleigh was wonderful to my kitty! Sending me pictures of him, cleaning up his litter box, to even leaving some movies on the tv for him to watch! She was so affectionate and detailed oriented. I loved having her as my cat sitter while I was away! Much love 💜”

“I can't say enough good things about Tamara! She went above and beyond with Ollie, and was real quick in developing a relationship with him. I was worried that this being my first time using Rover, and Ollie being a new addition to my family that he would push boundaries and give her a hard time as he can be stubborn, but she demonstrated knowledge and experience when interacting with him that alleviated any worry I had. The updates made me incredibly happy as Ollie can be an anxious boy, and here I was seeing him calm, relaxed, and very well behaved in the photos giving me steps on what she did to get him in a calm and relaxed state. If you recently added a dog to your family, and need someone respectable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I would STRONGLY recommend Tamara! Any doubts or worries would be gone and your puppers will be left anew!”

About: I have taken care of other pets since elementary school. Neighbors and friends, even farm animals like sheep and goats. I can take care of it all! I currently work part time and I’m just looking to make some more money over the summer. I have some extra free time while I’m on break form school so why not make some extra cash to save. I currently live in an apartment but there are multiple dog parks close by and plenty of space for nice long walks. It’s only me and my dog I’m my apartment right now but she is very well mannered and mellow.

“Super friendly and great with my dogs, even when they can be too much.”

“Angel is a lovely person, and our pups adore her! She takes time with all of them and I love that we have such a reliable person to trust with our fur family 💜”

“Brianna took great care of our two Goldens for a whole week! It was our first time hiring a pet sitter so we were really nervous to have someone come to our home and care for our babies but after meeting Brianna, we immediately knew we were in good hands. We got daily pictures and updates, she was always on schedule and we didn't have to worry about a thing. It was clear that they were very well loved and cared for while we were away. I am so glad we found Brianna - we will definitely work with her again! Thank you, Brianna!!”
