“While You’re Away” is a pet/plant sitting service in New Braunfels, Texas. The primary “pet sitting” person is Linda Davies, who is retired from UTMB in Galveston. Linda and her cat, Ruby, moved from the Texas Coast to New Braunfels 5 years ago to be near her grandchildren.
Her partner is Judy Carey, who is retired from 40 years as an elementary school teacher. She and her husband, Bill, have resided in New Braunfels 19 years. Both Linda and Judy are avid pet lovers, both having had pets (cats and dogs) all their lives.
We offer reasonably priced pet sitting services to local pet owners that give both the families and the pets themselves peace of mind while the family is away. I have only boarded one animal in my life, a little female toy dachshund. We boarded her for two weeks; upon our return we were just sick to see how distraught she had been. Her hair had fallen out and she had barely eaten. This being a very reputable kennel, I believe she just did not think we were ever coming back and was grieving for us. Since then I have always kept my pets in their own environment when having to be away, with a trusted friend or relative checking in on them to feed, water, walk, play, give medicine, etc. Linda and/or Judy can be that trusted friend to your pet.
