Hello!

My name is Brittney and I am a certified veterinary assistant. I am currently in school to become a veterinary technician and I graduate in June this year. (Super excited!) I am open to any questions or concerns that come my way so please don't hesitate to bring up any information to me! I am CPR certified on the "human" side but I also know CPR for my furry friends.

Thank you for reading about me, I hope to hear from you :)

Greetings, I'm Iryna,
I have always dearly loved animals and only as an adult could finally experience a joy of owning and carrying for them. My teenage daughter share my passion and adore any animal that she gets to meet. Over the past 15 years, we've taken care of a wide variety of pets, such as Dogs, Cats, Fish, and Hermit Crabs.
Both of us speak English, Russian, Ukrainian, and currently learning Spanish.
We live in safe and quiet neighborhood by the walking park with the lake, in a clean and smoke free house with fenced backyard. Real joy for a dog ?!
We will provide filtered water and will feed your pup with the food you bring per your directions. We have some dog toys, potty bells, and one mini and one small plastic crates for smaller dogs.

Dog Walking – after 3p.m. (for 30 min or 1 hour)

I have a lot of experience with pets, big or small. I can care for dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds, fish, spiders. You name it, I've owned them. Is your pet sick and you need someone to administer meds? No problem. I also know how to leash and potty train dogs, so if you need help with that, I can help with that during my services. I'm your one-stop shop for all your pet-sitting and pet-walking needs. I love all animals and am excited to meet your pet!

I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. My dogs are not just my pets they are my children.
I fell in love with dogs when I got my very first Pug over 15 years ago. He showed me a love I never knew before and I will always have a dog.
I started my own in home pet sitting business over 13 years ago because I wanted to offer the best possible care for animals when their owners need to get away. Putting a dog in a kennel can be very stressful for the animal and I knew there was a better alternative!
If you choose to have us take care of your dogs they will be walked 4-6 times a day. We also have a dog park directly across from our building that I take the pups to so they get exercise and play time.

My name is Claudia, I grew up with pets and have had pets all my life. As a child I helped care for chickens, ducks, dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, and even had an owl once.
I do work full time M-F but I am available evenings and weekends. I enjoy caring for pets and I feel they are family and I will treat them as so.
I offer the following:
- walks, runs
- play actively
- play dates
- bath time
- feeding and water
- overnight sitting at pet owners home (keeps pets comfortable in their own home)

BOOK NOW FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND! -- We take the worry out of boarding & won't disappoint you!

Now starting our FOURTH year on DogVacay! We have three dogs ourselves, a Cocker Spaniel and two Yorkshire Terriers. We have a great backyard with a pool and lots of bushes to explore. We have a smoke free, loving home. Your dog will get lots of special attention from our two children who love dogs as well and will truly be a part of our family while at our house. Our son started pet sitting as a way to earn extra money and it has grown by word of mouth. Since joining DogVacay in June 2013, we have watched 138 dogs with 51 repeat guests, 31 three-peat guests and 20 four or more guests!

We can feed, let your dog out, go for walks on your dogs schedule as many times a day you would like. We feed dogs individually so there is no anxiety or switching food. During the Summer our dogs go in and out as they please to play inside or out. We have a covered patio with outside furniture so your dog can relax. If your dog is a swimmer, we have a pool to cool them off. We have a toy box filled with all kinds of toys for your dog to discover and play with. There are even more outside. We go for nightly walks and do our best to spoil your dog while they are here!

Our pricing is per dog per night. Example: If you drop off at 8am and pick up at 9pm the next day, we ONLY charge you for one night. When making a reservation, the end date is your pickup day. A drop off and pick up time must be arranged so we know when to expect you.

You will need to bring your dog food, bowls, toys/treats if you'd like, leash for walking and something to sleep on. We will take care of the rest and have extra dog beds and toys to make your dog's visit comfortable!

We request that your dog(s) be house trained to go when let out: no puppy pads, electric collars, etc. Also, all males must be neutered. We have a flea & tick free home so we ask that your dog be as well.

Pricing is per dog per night. If you are interested in booking with us please let us know so we can reserve your place on the calendar. We can then do our best to match your dog to others looking to book to ensure a fun stay for everyone.

Your pet deserves a great place to stay when you are away, a place to run and have fun, not locked up in a kennel or surrounded by dozens or hundreds of barking dogs. We have a great place for you and your pet - our home in Katy, Texas!

Our home is a great place for pets with plenty of room to stretch out and a nicely sized, fully fenced backyard to run, play and potty. Your dog will be a part of our family while in our care, with all the love and attention that brings. We have one Boston Terrier who will share the house with your pet, along with our three kids, who will love on and spoil your pet day and night!

As a stay at home mom and housemaker, I will be around throughout the day to care for your pet just like he was my own. I can offer walks around the neighborhood, play time, and even bathing if desired. Your pet's day will include plenty of play time, catch/fetch, rubs, and loving. I can also brush your dog daily or more frequently as needed.

If your dog will be in a crate/pen, he can sleep in the guest room. If you prefer your dog sleep in a dog bed or on the floor, he can sleep in the laundry room. He'll share the house and yard with us during the day.

When you need a vacation, so does your pet - let me give your dog the vacation he has always dreamed about, and let me give you peace of mind knowing your favorite friend is safe, sound, and happy while you are away.

Caring for animals is my life I love animals and have dealt with them my entire life! Growing up my family always had a dog while my sister and I had small pets like hamsters and turtles. I always helped my grandma with her pets every weekend and school vacation she had 12 cats and about 6 birds and some fish. As an adult I have my own pets and I've cared for newborn puppies and kittens as well. Puppies are my favorite! My dogs are now 5 and 3 years old and range very different in size. My Chihuahua is a toy deerhead and I have a red nose pitbull. I do not breed discriminate!

I have loved dogs my whole life, and I don't see that love fading anytime soon. I grew up with dogs, and I have my own dog now. Her name is Lyla. She is a deaf dalmatian/whippet cross and a registered therapy dog. Lyla is great with other dogs, so I'm confident that she will get along just fine with your dog. I have 3 years experience as a veterinary technician, so I have the knowledge of caring for pets who need medical attention. I have my Master of Social Work degree that has helped guide me to do Animal Assisted Social Work after I graduate. Being a social worker has also given me the knowledge and skills to work with diverse groups of people. I have transferred that knowledge and skills into working with dogs. I absolutely love dogs, no matter the size, age, male, female, or breed. I love them all. I am very knowledge when it comes to dogs and it would give me so much joy to take care of you dog as if they were my own.

I have grown up with dogs and have always had a passion and love for all animals. I have experience doing some training with my own dogs, but nothing professional. I have 4 years of experience as a veterinary technician, so I have acquired knowledge and skills to provide medical needs to dogs and cats. If your dog or cat receives medication on a daily basis I will be able to administer that medication.
My dog and I have graduated from a basic obedience training course fall of 2013. My dog and I are registered with Pet Partners to do therapy dog work. My dog is deaf, so I have experience working with special needs dogs. Personally I am more patient when it comes to working with dogs because I have learned through observing many dogs behaviors over a long period of time. My husband, family, and friends would tell you that I am a dog expert, but that is not completely true. I have done a good amount of personal experience and research that has helped me learn how to best work with dogs and cats.

Why I love dog sitting
I have loved dogs my entire life. The only time in my life that I have been without a dog, was 2 months between the time my 15 year old yellow labrador passed away and when my family welcome Wally into our lives. Growing up I was always told that all dogs loved me, even the dogs that were particular about who was around them. Currently I have a 3 year old deaf dalmatian/whippet cross named Lyla. She is very spoiled, but she knows that I am the pack leader.

Meet my pets
I have a 4 year old spayed female deaf dalmatian whippet cross named Lyla. She is absolutely the sweetest! She is great with other dogs and is always very welcoming. She would be happy to share her space with your sweet family member and provide them with play and cuddles.

About my yard
I don't have a backyard, but the apartment complex my husband and I live in has a fenced in dog park. It is spacious enough for dogs to get some exercise and play with other dogs. My dog loves going there, and I'm sure she would love to share it with a new friend.

My experience administering medication
Yes, my experience as a veterinary technician has given me the skills for administering medication of all kinds or dog temperaments.
