Pet sitters in the wild 🌮🥤
We are missing a few team members but are so thankful for a safe and successful summer season with this crew.
The Texas Ruff House team is truly the most delightful, caring, and experienced team there is. And we are all blessed to care for your pets.

Many dogs in our Walking Club started off with "leash energy and excitement". Can you relate to having a dog who barks every time he sees or hears another dog? That's not enjoyable for you. You may even feel a little embarrassed.
That's where having a regular walking schedule with an experienced handler can transform both your life and your dog's.
Message us "Walking Club" and we will send you our special birthday sale. And your dog can have the same success as "Socks".
"Honestly, Walking Club has been our favorite. Not only does Socks get exercise, sniffs, and downright fun, but he gets training too. From the extensive post-walk notes, he’s doing great on not reacting to other dogs. Thanks to everyone!”
-- Karol, Socks’ mom

Are you choosing the right pet sitter? 🐾 Ask these key questions to ensure your pet gets the best care possible.
1. How many times will you visit my home, and how do I know you’ve stayed the full length of time that I’ve booked?
2. What will happen if your car breaks down or if you get sick? Who will come visit my pets?
3. Do you carry insurance to protect my home and pets from unforeseen emergencies?
4. Who will be responsible if something is missing from my home or my pet is lost?
5. Does anyone oversee the work you do here?

From experience to emergency plans, we've got you covered. The team at Texas Ruff House is trained to handle all pet and home emergencies, like if your AC breaks down, or if your pet develops an illness or infection while you're away.
Plus, our management team is overseeing every visit to ensure all of your instructions are followed!

Neighbor or Pro? The person you choose to care for your home and pets matters more than you think. But why?
There are so many well-meaning pet lovers who will offer to watch your dogs and cats when you travel.
But who is responsible when the unimaginable happens?
Who is responsible for verifying that pet medications are dispensed correctly?
Who is responsible for noticing symptoms that require immediate medical attention?
Most pet parents and animal lovers have not studied animal health care like first-aid and CPR. But all of the staff at Texas Ruff House has!
There are many times we have transported pets in our care to their veterinarian and to emergency facilities as well. When it comes to your pet's care, expertise matters.
Don't run the risk of hiring a novice or hobbyist to care for your most precious family members. Animals can't speak for themselves, so choose a professional who carries the knowledge and protection to care for your home and pets. Because you deserve that vacation. And your pets deserve the best in care. Learn why our trained professionals provide more than just visits – we offer peace of mind and top-notch care

Wondering about the cost of a pet sitter? You may be wondering why some services are so expensive. But what you really should be asking is “Why are some pet sitters so CHEAP?!!”
There, I said it.
Like many industries, Pet Care is UNREGULATED!!
There is no license required. Literally no training certificate required to operate. Anyone can be your dog walker, pet sitter, or boarder.
But when you choose a professional company like Texas Ruff House. You’re choosing someone who values their trade by taking additional steps like enrolling in courses on pet health, pet care, and pet enrichment. Texas Ruff House also belongs to professional pet sitting associations.
Professional companies invest in a good insurance and bonding plan because your pets and home deserve the best coverage in case of emergency.
Professional companies also invest in their team members. We oversee each and every service to ensure your instructions are carried out.
When you plan your vacation, also budget for the cost of a professional pet sitter and dog walker. Because you both deserve that. 🐾 It's an investment in your pet's safety, happiness, and your peace of mind.
From daily walks to cuddles and playtime, we offer full transparency on our rates and services right on our website. Come find out why our personalized care is worth every penny.

Boarding vs. Pet Sitting: Which is better for your pets?
Pet care used to be cut and dry: either you took your dog or cat to a facility or someone came over to your house to check on your pets. Boy, has that evolved over the years.
Most boarding facilities are designed for dog-social dogs. There is usually 1 staff member for every 12 dogs or so. So your dog will be spending more time with other dogs, than they do with people. Your dog will follow the daily routine and feeding times as the facility has designed.
On the contrary, Pet Sitting in your home comes in all shapes and sizes but it is tailored to your specific pet: their likes, dislikes, and it follows their daily routine and feeding times.
Your pets stay home where routines are familiar and they stay healthier.
When you choose a professional pet sitter, like Texas Ruff House, they bring extra knowledge of pet care, enrichment, and health. Pet Sitting at home also means your dog or cat doesn’t have to compete for resources like space, beds, toys, and attention. And less chances of them dealing with bullying behavior from other pets. 🐶🏠 Got more questions about which option might be better for your pet?

Summer means more time to go out with the whole family, including your pup! Make the most of your days off and visit these 9 pet-friendly eateries 🐶🍔
We loveee Hat Creek - which one is your fav?

24/06/2024

This heat can be ruff for our furry friends! 😓
We often assume that shaving dogs in the summer helps keep them cool, but for thick-furred friends like Huskies, German Shepherds, and Chows, this isnt always true...
Keeping fur longer actually insulates against heat and protects from sunburn! What are your thoughts on summer grooming?

💛Doodles have certainly grown in popularity over the last 10 years.
Did you know Doodles barely shed? But wait.... that doesn't mean their coat is low maintenance!! Quite the opposite.
Their poodle parentage gives them a curly, low-shedding coat that requires daily brushing and combing. Yes, combing!
But their hearts of gold come from their retriever roots, perfect for active families! If you have doodle, tag us in their photo so we can love on them too.

Hot pavement alert! During summer, pavement and streets can become scorching, potentially burning your dog's paws, so dog walks look a little different in the summer.
Always check the pavement to make sure it’s just right for your pup.
Place the back of your hand on the pavement and count 5-slow-seconds. If it starts to feel too hot, then avoid walking for more than a 5-10 minute potty break. Walk in the grass as much as possible and take breaks in the shade.
And, never underestimate the power of indoor playtime! How do you stay cool and active with your pet? Leave a comment!

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, pets can quickly become dehydrated in hot weather, leading to heatstroke. Watch for excessive panting, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, drooling, weakness, and collapse. Prevent heat-related issues by keeping pets cool and hydrated. When you’re out and about, make sure to take some shade-breaks, and bring a portable water bowl for your pup to keep them safe!

Collars come in all shapes and sizes, but choosing the right one for your pet is crucial! Whether it's a sturdy buckle collar for daily walks, a comfortable harness for training, or a stylish collar for fashion, it's important to consider your pet's needs and personality.

Did you know rabbits can be trained to use a litter box and even learn tricks? These furry friends are not only adorable but also incredibly social and intelligent. With their unique personalities and gentle nature, rabbits make fantastic companions for those looking for a non-traditional pet.

Does your dog do the "butt scoot boogie"? You're not alone! Studies show that up to 25% of dogs scoot their bottoms at some point in their lives. But why do they do it? It could be due to irritation from worms, a**l gland issues, or even just a little itch! If your furry friend is doing the scoot, it's best to consult with your vet. They can help determine the cause and recommend the right treatment. Keep your pup's b***y happy and healthy!

17/04/2024

Happy Pet ID Week! Keep calm and tag your pet! ID tags are a must-have for every fur baby. Not only do they add a touch of style to your pet's collar, but they're also a lifesaver if your furry friend ever gets lost. Make sure your pet is always easily identifiable. Peace of mind for you, style for them!

When was the last time your dog went out today? If you’re a working pet parent, it’s probably been a few hours. On average, dogs need between 30 minutes and 2 hours of exercise a day. You may not have the time or capacity to make sure your dog’s health is in tip-top shape, but we do. With Walking Club, we pop in while you’re away and make sure your pup gets all their steps in, and they love it! Busy schedule but want the best for your dog? Join Walking Club today!

Those ears aren’t just for listening for when you open the treat bag... they enjoy music too! While pets have a hard time enjoying human music, as it’s at a lower frequency than they enjoy, higher frequency music or audios with nature/animal noises (bird chirps, running water, etc) can decrease your pet’s stress levels! If you have an anxious pet or just want to pamper them a little more, try playing dog/cat specific tunes next time you’re away! #dogwalkinglife #dogwalkers #dogwalkerlife #dogwalkingservices #dogwalkersofinstagram #dogwalker #dogwalking #petsitterslife #petsittingbusiness #petsitters #petsittersofinstagram #petsitterlife #PetSittersWeek #petsitter

Saturday 12pm-3p Get out here!

Annual Halloween Pet Extravaganza with the community at Paloma Lake! Thanks for having us. We always have so much fun with the neighbors and their pets.

✅ Austin’s first field trip adventure was a success!He’s a great dog and got to enjoy this beautiful day while his parents were busy working. He saw 🐿, 🕸, 🐜,🐶, 🚴🏼, 🏃‍♂️ and smelled countless 🐾. We made “work” fun and rewarding while we practiced “sharing the trail” with other bikers, dogs, and people. He checked on regularly and got rewarded handsomely 🦴. Our Field Trip Adventures are always private, on leash hikes and explorations. We believe each dog has their own needs and goals so we devote it entirely to them. Then take them home to rest and dream about their adventures. Field trips can be added onto your vacation pet sitting or used as often as you wish. Whether it’s 1x a week or 1x a month. Because your dog deserves to live their best life!
