About: Hi my name is Abi. I’ve spent the last year caring for dogs of all kinds, and there’s nothing I take more seriously than making sure a pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. One thing that genuinely sets me apart: I’m experienced handling multiple dogs at once. Whether you have a duo that plays off each other’s energy or a household with very different personalities, I know how to keep the dynamic balanced and every dog feeling attended to. I am a college student currently home trying to make extra money! my time is genuinely flexible. I’m available every morning, afternoon and evening on weekdays, and largely wide open on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into that rhythm, I can stop by for midday check ins on days I have lighter schedules, and commit to longer visits or overnight stays when needed. Dogs thrive on consistency, and I build my availability around making sure they get that When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show mine. I follow your routines as closely as possible. feeding schedules, walk routes, commands your dog responds to, because familiarity keeps pets calm and settled. I always double-check doors, gates, and leashes before any outdoor time, and I keep a close eye on interactions when multiple dogs are involved to make sure everyone stays comfortable. You’ll get updates and photos so you’re never left wondering.
“This is the second time Maya stayed in my home with my pups. She is professional, a great communicator, and I never worry about my pups when she’s with them!”
“Booked Amber based off of her 5 star reviews and repeat customers and she did not disappoint! She took great care of our two fur babies and our home. Everything was clean and in order when we returned home and our girls were happy. Will book again!”
“We love Nita and trust her with our precious Max! We were out of the country for this last trip and felt completely at ease. The house was the same as when we left but more importantly Max was happy and relaxed. We already have her booked for our next trip and several more are coming. She is great!!”
“Blanca was amazing. She was so patient with our nervous and anxious dog. All of our animals, cats and dogs, received their medicine and all special food needs were met.”
“It was my second time using Kirsten and she was fantastic! She’s very communicative and spends ample quality time with the dog. As long as she’s in DFW, I’ll continue using her”
About: I have a beautiful female Dalmatian that is 5 years old. I have an adorable male Pitbull boxer mix that is 5 years old. I also have a crazy indoor orange cat and a black outdoor cat. Outside of my fur babies, I’ve taken care of my friend’s and teammates dogs and cats. In the process of watching them, I taught their dogs many fun tricks. I did train my dogs myself on how to walk off leash and multiple cool tricks as well. I can teach your dogs some fun tricks in the process of watching them! I’ve watched all ages of dogs and cats for my friends. From puppies and kittens to senior pets. I am pretty free most days. I have a stay at home job as a manager for my dad’s company. Therefore, I have plenty of free time to check on the fur babies because I can plan my workday to accommodate what needs to be done. I do coach kids in AAU basketball. So sometimes on the weekends I may be gone for several hours coaching, but I will still be able to go check on them in between games. My two dogs are very friendly and loves to go on walks. If you want your dog to have company on a walk or play dates. I can bring my dogs as well.
“Angela was great! This was my first time getting a sitter and she will forever be the person I call when I need my cat watched! She sent me updated photos which also made me feel at ease! She followed all instructions & had great communication! 10/10 recommend!”
“Ambar is absolutely the best! Sammy and Winston love her and she did an amazing job caring for them. They can be a little demanding at times and she handled them perfectly. She gave us great updates and pics and we were at ease the whole time we were on vacation. It is so nice to be on vacation and not stress about the dogs back home. Thank you Ambar!”
“Rex did an amazing job watching our home and pups. Our pups don't get along so it's tough for us to find someone willing to take on that responsibility. She made sure our dogs were safe and had plenty of attention. Our house was also taken care and clean. We highly recommend Rex and will be contacting her for future trips.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life, I love meeting new pets and making new friends. I love going for long walks with more active dogs. I’m taking time off full time work right now so my schedule and availability is wide open, looking to stay busy during the holiday season. I will treat your home with respect and follow all directions for taking care of your pet. Wether they like to cuddle up at night or prefer their own space I will make sure they are taken care of.

We had such a wonderful experience with Kyra caring for our dog Dewey and cat Lily while staying at our home. She was incredibly communicative from start to finish, sending my partner and me detailed updates twice a day along with tons of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was how thoughtful and attentive she was — she asked great questions, paid close attention to routines and details, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about both of our pets equally. It can sometimes feel like one pet naturally gets more attention than the other, but she made both Dewey and Lily feel so loved and cared for. We came home to happy pets and a well cared-for home, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented.
Zaida provided excellent care for our dogs while we were out of country on vacation for five days. We have a dog who can be fear-reactive to new people, and she took the time to do a drop-in to ensure a positive first meeting before we even booked. We truly appreciated her patience! She was very professional and communicative throughout the entire process. The daily updates and photos were great, and we felt totally at ease. We will definitely book with her again!
Angela was heaven sent. I just recently lost my pug, one week before she was due to take care of both of my babies. Her kindness to my Sheba knowing that she was sad she showed her so much love attention to the point when I got home Sheba was crying for her at door! Angela you’re apart of our pack now Sheba said so lol. She has great heart . Thank you for helping me .
Brooke watched our three dogs again, this time on New Year’s Eve. One of my dogs is very scared of fireworks and Brooke was able to give him his medication and was so amazing at keeping an eye on him and our other boys. She’s always communicative and gives us updates. LOVE HER!
Amber is a wonderful person! She loves our sweet pup as much as we do. She feels like one of the family! She stayed at our home for two weeks and we had no worries. She always leaves things as good as, or better than, when we left. And she is a wonderful communicator in words and pictures.
We have three dogs at different life stages - a senior husky with arthritis, an adult Doberman that doesn't like strangers, and a Doberman puppy with a lot of energy. Needless to say it's a pack that keeps us busy. We had Renee watch them at our home while we traveled and she did a great job. When we got home, the dogs were healthy, the house was in perfect shape, no concerns whatsoever. I would use her again without hesitation.
Reagan was so good with our boy, Ricky Bobby!! Ricky Bobby has a few quirks like most dogs do, but one of his more notable ones is that he tends to anxiety chew on himself when we’re out of the house, and sometimes breaks skin if not stopped. Reagan did a fantastic job watching out for this behavior and kept him calm and content through her time in our home. Reagan was also very communicative throughout the visit and sent multiple pictures and updates of the goings on. Overall, we could tell that Ricky Bobby was very comfortable and happy to be hanging out with his newest bestie Reagan, and we’re glad to have found another trustworthy sitter that loves our dog as much as we do!
