OUR INCREDIBLE PET CARE PROFESSIONALS (AND COVERPET)

ORE

:WOOF: I'm Ore! Mascot and inspiration for starting TLDOM. Like some owners, my dad Mark’s work schedule requires him to be away from home most of the day. Because of this, he often found it hard to coordinate a time to make appointments for me. This left my dad with an unsettling feeling, and it was then he realized that others must be stuck with that same dilemma. Soon after, This Lil Dog of Mine Pet Services was born. My dad's vision was to provide quality services for working individuals and their pets, and ease their feelings of worry. I hope y'all love the services that have been provided. My Dad and his team are the best!

I am the proud mother of a three-year-old son and eight-year-old daughter, they keep me very busy. In my free time I love to hang out with my kids and with family.

Animals are always dependable and lovable companionship that any person would want and love to have. This Lil Dog of Mine is like animal heaven to me!

Mark, Owner

Welcome, I am the owner of This Lil’ Dog of Mine Pet Services. I’ve had a passion for animals ever since I was a child. I was the kid that would always bring home stray animals, weird critters; always begging my mother to go to the pet store or zoo. As I got older my passion and interest in animals grew. I attended vet summer camps and even joined FFA. After high school I had my heart set on attending vet school in the future. After graduating from Prairie View A&M University with a bachelors in Animal Science, I continued my education at Texas A&M University, where I received a Master of Science in Applied Ethology with a focus in animal behavior and well-being.

After graduating and entering the work field, I quickly realized I wanted to use my experience and education in a different way. I wanted to provide a service to people that they would feel great about using. Since opening This Lil Dog of Mine Pet Services, I’ve gained so much experience and currently hold a CPR certification through Austin Pet First Aid. I’m always working toward making This Lil Dog of Mine Pet Services better for my clients and their pets.

ALICIA

Hello! My name is Alicia. Born and raised in Washington State, I relocated to the "City of the Violet Crown" in the summer of 2017. Animals of all types have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. So when Hopper Augustus, my male feline tabby cat, and I paired up ten years ago, he immediately became my cuddly best friend and a trusted co-pilot of my daily life. Like Hopper, I am always ready for the next adventure and look forward to sharing your pet's unique journey!

JOSEPH

Hi, my name is Joseph Barr. I’m from North Carolina, but currently laying my roots here in beautiful Austin. Growing up, my family loved pets whether dogs, birds or fish. We had them all. I currently have a 3-year old Siberian Husky who is full of life and keeps me on my toes. Over the years I’ve done volunteer work for various animal shelters and occasional pet sitting jobs for local neighbors. There’s nothing like the bond between pets and their owners. I love dogs that are big and full of life, and definitely have to show the little ones love too.

MJ

My name is MJ and I have been working with animals since the age of 17. In my spare time I am a photographer and a video editor. I have one dog of my own and he is my sweet boy and I live coming home to him every day. I have worked with dog trainers and I always treat the animals I take care of as my own. I became a pet sitter because I have always loved working with animals and they are always so exited to see you and some times even nicer than people. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and make some more furry friends.
