Pet Sitter in Houston, Texas

Thank you for reading my profile! My name is Mark, and I am the pet care contact you want to have in your phone. I provide the following services, and can be reached at ANY time to provide exactly what your pet needs: - Daily Walks - Boarding - Day Visits - Bathing - Training and/or Mental Stimulation Background I have a decade-long history with professionally caring for pets. I usually meet clients through conversation at the dog park or at an event, but I am looking forward to who I am meet online! I currently care for around 10 dogs and a couple of cats - some stay at my house for extended periods of time, while others are a daily drop-off. Both my fiance and I work from home, and she sits dogs as a side-job, so we have all the experience and time to give your baby the precious attention he/she needs when in a new environment. Pet Home Life I personally have 1 dog and 2 cats, and make sure to vet every pet that comes through for any aggressive/predatory tendencies before putting them together. Further, unless it's time to play or eat, food and toys are always put away to prevent any territorial aggression. However, every pet that I've vetted through has had a great time playing and napping with their new friends. My home is completely animal-friendly. There are no dangerous contraptions or chemicals accessible, and the floor plan is open and spacious, so they have plenty of room to be themselves. The furniture is also open for them to use, since I tend to keep their paws and stomachs clean. Health Concerns If your pet has allergies, health concerns, or special diets, I am prepared to deal with all that that entails: unexpected poops, lengthy meal preparation, picky eating behaviors, etc. I have it covered. I even have a large enclosed yard with a pool for them to be off-leash (I do not leave them unattended in this area as it is semi-public). I do a lot of petting, so I do occasionally alert owners to strange lumps or other noticeable issues (signs of heartworms, change in behavior, etc.) I'm not a veterinarian, but I am familiar with the signs of common dog-related issues. Warning About Kennels In some cases an owner will end up settling with a kennel because nobody is available. Please do not resort to that as long as you can contact me. My services are cheaper and safer. I have stories of picking up client's pets from a kennel to find that they have swallowed a nail, lost a lot of weight, or broken a tooth trying to bite out of the cage; all true stories. If you find a good deal at a kennel, I will match it just to know another animal is in loving hands. Again, as long as I have room in my home, I can get you and your pet situated how you like. Contact me if you need my services! Please know that while I do accommodate pets over the weekend, my messaging will be reserved to the owners of the pet's in my care until Monday. Thanks again for reading!
