A Day in the Life of a Pet Sitter in Pflugerville, TX

Welcome to a Day in the Life at Texas Ruff House 

Rise and shine! Good morning from our dog walkers and pet sitters at Texas Ruff House in Pflugerville, TX! It’s time to kick off a busy day full of pet visits, dog walks, and daycare drop-ins.

Our team members have just received their schedule reports of their assignments for the day, which details where they are going and at what time. The Texas Ruff House team is getting their gear ready and packing their bags. Have you ever wondered what’s inside a pet sitter’s fanny pack?

Here’s a sneak peek:

-Your dog’s favorite treats

-Waste bags and back up rolls (just in case!)

-A squeaker to redirect their attention from a distraction (and to get them to focus for a photo!)

-Sunscreen and Chapstick (because protecting your skin is important)

 

 

 

Boarding dogs, daycare dogs, puppies galore!

While members of the team prepare to head out for their assignments, Texas Ruff House Headquarters is bustling with activity before daycare dogs even start arriving at 7am. The owner, Carla, reviews the schedule report and makes sure the team is set for the day. Then, Carla responds to messages that came in overnight from new and existing clients. The boarding dogs get an early morning wake up call and greet Carla with happy wags because they can’t wait to start another day at Texas Ruff House. Carla tends to the boarding dogs, getting them out for a potty break, doing their daily health inspection, and refreshing their water.

Now that the boarding dogs have been tended to, it’s time to receive the daycare dogs. The daycare dogs get placed into their organized centers for the morning, as Carla runs daycare like a school! As the afternoon approaches, they start their rotations at allotted times for each activity, like playtime, naptime, and outdoor recess.

Our team of dog walkers and pet sitters in Pflugerville, TX is the best!

Meanwhile, the team is out in the field on assignments, walking dogs and making their visits for pet sitting in Pflugerville, TX and the surrounding areas of Round Rock, Georgetown, Hutto, and North Austin. You’ll find our dog walkers and pet sitters at Texas Ruff House providing your pet with love, attention, and personalized care, which includes interacting, playing, and feeding them. You’ll also see them trying to capture your pet’s cherished moments for you on camera, getting a mix of good and bad photos – overshooting is the key! Our team loves to notice your pet’s new haircut/grooming, and fawn over any new toys or equipment like a leash or collar. It’s like catching up with a friend we haven’t seen in a while!

Here kitty, kitty, we know you’re hiding…

Safety is a very important part of the visit. The team cares for a variety of critters (guinea pigs, lizards, tarantulas… we’ve seen them all!) and makes sure that everyone is in their correct enclosure. We all know that cats love their hiding spots, but our team will do whatever it takes to confirm a visual of your cat and check high and low to find the very shy ones. Often, the cats quietly watch us from their spot while we search for them and start questioning if they somehow escaped; they love to scare the living daylights out of us!

 

 

As our team members wrap up a walk or a home visit, they are wiping down all touched surfaces and sending your pet’s daily update/report card to you before heading to their next assignment in Pflugerville, TX or onto another neighborhood in the surrounding areas of Round Rock, Georgetown, Hutto, and North Austin. At the end of the day, our sitters get pets settled for their overnight in-home stays. Our sitters love to hang out with your pets, it’s like being at home but more fun because they go for nice, long walks and have meals together.

And that’s a wrap at Texas Ruff House in Pflugerville, TX!
