Doggy Day Care Convention Center District

About: Throughout my life, I've owned/cared for a range of family pets--5 dogs, 2 cats, guinea pigs, hamsters and mice. As an foster and volunteer for the Austin Humane Society, Dallas Pets Alive, and the SPCA, I have cared for animals ranging from newborn litters to abandoned seniors, and volunteered at two therapeutic horse ranches... helping ensure the calm, steady relationships between horse and rider. This deep, practical experience means I understand animal behavior, recognize when a pet needs space or comfort, and prioritize their safety above all else. What truly sets me apart is my ability to offer your pet my undivided attention and a calm, stable environment. Because I am retired, I do not have the distractions of a full-time job or a busy household. My day revolves around ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and loved. I live in a highly walkable, vibrant neighborhood that is perfect for daily strolls. In my quiet townhome, your pet will enjoy a small and front yard, a large rooftop, a peaceful routine, and plenty of companionship so you may enjoy total peace of mind while you are away. Throughout the day, I am primarily based at home, allowing me to provide steady companionship, regular potty breaks, and a predictable routine. My schedule enables me to easily adapt to your pet's specific feeding, medication, and exercise habits. Whether it is a midday stroll (weather permitting) or quiet companionship while I read or run quick local errands, your pet will safely integrate into a calm, attentive, and structured environment. At my home, pets enjoy a small, grassy, fenced front yard for quick sniff breaks, plus a large rooftop terrace perfect for stretching legs and enjoying fresh air between morning and evening walks. Indoors, clean pets are fully welcomed on the furniture and beds—my home is their home! I love providing as much quality cuddle time as they will allow!

“Kelsey has been wonderful watching our toy poodle, Roman. She is incredibly sweet, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which gives us a lot of peace of mind when we’re away. Roman is always well cared for, and we really appreciate the attention and kindness she shows him. We’d definitely recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. I love being around animals and caring for them. I currently own a Goldendoodle who is part of my family. Taking care of her has been such a joy. I work part time so I’m very much available for any of your pets’ needs. I have a daughter but she is in school so I am free during during the time she is at school. I am also free some evenings and weekends as well. As a pet owner myself, ensuring the wellbeing of your pet is my top priority. I will always make sure they’re more than good. Safety and play time is very important to me.

About: Hi! My name is Maria. I am looking to do what I love most which is spending time with your pets.I grew up with pets in our home and instantly fell in love caring for them. I work fully remote in the healthcare field so your pets will always have my attention. On my free days I love to workout, cook, do outdoor activities, and travel. I work from home with lots of flexibility. Walking, feeding, loving on your pets wouldn’t be an inconvenience to my schedule. I would love to help you out. During your pet stay, your pet will safely be in my apartment, I have a fence patio to allow your pet to roam around the house. Your dog will be on leash at all times when walking. Upon your approval, there is fence dog park at my property available during play time.

“Thank you again for your quick response, and communication about his day. I'm so glad you were able to keep Parker. Thank you for the photos, videos, and updates throughout the day. I can tell Parker was excited and happy to have made some new friends today. All accommodations or requests I asked for were granted. I truly appreciate your flexibility and for willingness open your home to take care of Parker. I Highly recommend booking with Danielle.”

“Bo had such a great time this week with Tyler and Jordan! They are both kind, knowledgeable, and very communicative. We are very particular when it comes to having others care for our pup but my husband and I both feel 100% comfortable having Bo stay with Tyler and Jordan. Highly highly recommend to anyone looking for quality care for their pups :)”

“Edmanuel and the Pupkulture team are an absolute dream for any pet parent. Knowing that my dogs are receiving the same level of care, attention, and thoughtfulness that I would give them myself is incredibly valuable and gives me real peace of mind when I’m away. Everything they do clearly prioritizes the dogs’ safety and well-being. My dogs have definitely let me know in the past when they weren’t happy with a daycare option, but with Pupkulture, it’s the complete opposite. They get genuinely excited when we arrive, and they come home happily exhausted, sleeping better than ever. The team is also consistently responsive, provides thoughtful updates and photos, and brings a level of kindness and professionalism that truly sets them apart.”

About: I have had my own pup since July 2020 & been able to care for friends and family’s pups for the past 5 years living in Dallas. I am completely flexible to your dogs needs and will be sure they get all the special love and attention while you are away. I live near many parks and even have my own private backyard! This makes your dogs stay extra special with easy accessibility to a potty and fresh air! I currently work in a hybrid role. This is very flexible and if I am dog-sitting I would be home instead of in the office I live in a one bedroom apartment that has a private backyard that is fenced around all sides. I also have a pup of my own! She is a friendly shitzu named Georgie and just turned 4 years old. The yard is easy access for quick potty breaks and access to the sidewalk for long walks.

“Very happy to have found such a nice person to take care of Calvin. This is my very first time using Rover and I’m so happy to have such a positive experience. Thank you Veronica!!”

“Barbara is amazing! She is sweet, very reliable, and great with communication. Kira is always excited to stay with her for doggy day care or when Barbara drops in to walk her.”

“Roy has been incredible! Pogo has hated every other daycare he's ever been to, so I was amazed when, on just the second day, he got excited as soon as we pulled up to Roy's house. Since then, he's been happy to go every day. Roy sends several photos throughout the day, which gives me peace of mind, and he's been super flexible with scheduling and timing. It's clear he truly cares about the dogs he watches. I've already scheduled Pogo to go every Monday through Friday. I can't recommend Roy highly enough!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 8 years and genuinely love getting to know every animal’s personality and routine. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone new. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I always aim to make pets feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. I also send regular photo updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and comfortable! I work flexibly from home, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and company. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I always try to keep pets on the routine they’re most comfortable with.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and genuinely enjoy having them in my home. Every dog is treated like part of the family, with a focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I have two golden retrievers, Molly and Cooper, who help set the tone. Molly is playful and great for dogs who enjoy activity and social time, while Cooper is more laid-back and better suited for dogs that prefer a calm, relaxed environment. Since I work from home, your dog will rarely be left alone. I take the dogs out multiple times a day and incorporate playtime throughout, along with walks depending on the weather and your dog’s routine. Care is tailored to your dog’s specific needs. The goal is to create a stay that feels consistent, comfortable, and close to home. I take Molly and Cooper out three times daily for potty breaks, and I’m happy to adjust the schedule to fit your dog’s specific needs. I can absolutely adjust to your needs, my two golden retrievers sleep in my bed, if that’s something you’d like, you got it. I also have a crate if needed.

“Loveneet is a super sweet dog sitter who will love and spoil your fur baby as much as you will! He was so flexible with my schedule. And so communicative. I appreciate all he did while watching my girl for the day. I would call him again in a heart beat!”

As a lifelong dog lover and proud Yorkie mom, I understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for small dogs, puppies, and senior dogs, including administering medications (insulin) and providing extra attention to pets with special needs. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m home full-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day.

I’m available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have two friendly, vaccinated Yorkies who are used to being around other dogs, and I always introduce pets slowly to ensure everyone is comfortable. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and routines. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Dylan did a great job watching my puppy on late notice. He sent lots of pics and updates me throughout the day. My puppy loved it! Will be using again :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family during weekends and while they’ve been out of town. I’m excited to begin offering boarding in my home, where I provide a calm, clean environment and focus on one household’s pets at a time. I primarily work from home, so your dog will usually have plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I primarily work from home, so your dog will usually have plenty of companionship throughout the day. On the few days each month that I’m in the office, I’ll communicate that with you in advance.

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, and I only board one household’s pets at a time to provide a calm, low-stress environment.

You’ll also receive regular photo updates and communication throughout their stay.
