“Esequias and Lisa are wonderful. Our fur baby is 3 years old and had never been with anyone but us. They alleviated any fears we had. Esequias came to our house to meet us and Hook, then we dropped him at their house for a few hours to see how he would adjust. They even picked him up when it was time for us to leave on our trip. They sent pics while we were gone. They treated him like one of their own. I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“John and Becky are the absolute best! Our doggies love and trust them. We have complete assurance when we are gone that they are in the best place possible and have the best care!”
“Brianne and her family were so good to Kip while we were away. They sent messages and pictures to keep us updated all week. We are so grateful for them and will definitely plan to have them take care of Kip in the future. We highly recommend them.”
“Luda was amazing with my dog Tobi! She sent daily updates with photos and videos and I can tell Tobi really liked her. As I was leaving Tobi kept looking back at Luda (seems like he had a blast there). I definitely recommend her, dogs are like our kids and she takes great care :)”
“Sarah is great and super reliable! Our pugs were taken care of per our direction and she even helped us with an unplanned extension when our return date got pushed. She administered medication to our blind dog. And both dogs were very happy and content upon our return home.”

About: Experienced and affordable pet care is here! I have years of pet care experience and I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you with your pet needs.

About: I've had animals since I was a child. We've raised and owned everything from horses to ferrets. We live in 6 fenced acres with lots of room to run, jump and play! I'm super vigilant about the safety and the health of every animal so be assured your baby will be looked after! I currently work from home, so going outside, going for walks, and having playtime is not an issue here. I have time to share love and attention! Fenced yard, air conditioned home, no kiddos, no smoking in the home, with one 8 lb Pomchi that loves to play and make new friends!

About: I previously worked in nursing, but I am now a full-time Investigator while pursuing my PhD in Forensic Psychology. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am—and that absolutely includes animals! I have been around dogs my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up with a Shih Tzu who was with me from the time I was born until I was 20 years old. Over the years, I also had three Saint Bernards and a Lab, all of whom were incredibly loved and cared for throughout their lives. My Saint Bernards lived into old age, and unfortunately, my Lab eventually passed away from cancer. Today, I have Scrappy, who is 10, and Blue, my 11-year-old Bullmastiff, and I have had both of them since they were puppies. Scrappy was rescued after I took him in from the streets, and Blue required extra special care as a newborn when his mother became ill and could no longer nurse him. I bottle-fed him with formula and cared for him around the clock—and today, Blue is my service dog! What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the amount of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine care I bring with me. I’ve cared for dogs of all different sizes, from a Shih Tzu to Saint Bernards and a Bullmastiff, as well as puppies, seniors, rescues, and dogs requiring additional care. My nursing background has also made me very attentive to changes in behavior and wellbeing and comfortable taking detailed instructions seriously. Most importantly, I understand that someone’s dog isn’t “just a pet”—they’re family. When someone trusts me with their dog, I want them to feel confident knowing their baby is being cared for by someone who will treat them with the same patience, attention, affection, and responsibility that I give my own. ❤️🐾 I am currently working from home so I have time to play with dogs and give them the attention and care they need and want. I have 3 acres fully fenced in. I treat every dog with love and care as if they are my own. Just as I would want someone else to treat mine.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alvord home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
