About: I have worked as a Kennel Technician often at a vet in Little Elm. Not only am I qualified to watch and care for your dog, I enjoy doing so as if it was my own dog. I'm currently working from home so my schedule is often flexible. Let me know your availability so I can fit you and your doggos into my schedule!😊 I adapt to your dog's emotions and needs. I have owned and cared for a variety of dogs and their personalities. I can glady send video and picture updates of your dog. If it be a shy introvert dog or a energetic playful dog, we will get along just fine!🙂🐶

“Isabelle is fantastic! She’s always punctual, polite and our dog, Lady Belle, absolutely adores her. Isabelle goes above and beyond for our pup. I highly recommend her services!”


About: Grew up with dogs, but traveled too much for it to be fair to the dog if I had one. Now the wife won’t let me get one so I figured I’d walk everyone else’s. I work from home and love dogs. I have the time to walk with them, so I decided to do it. Whether you need your dog picked up/dropped off or bathed and blow dried, I have you covered. I care for all pets as if they were my own. I make sure the environment is always safe for them while still allowing them to enjoy the day.

About: I am experienced in walking, feeding, grooming, administering medication, and providing playful attention and love, ensuring pets are healthy, happy, and cared for with dedication. I am currently on summer break, as a student in college and as a one on one caregiver that works at an elementary school, so I have lots of free time to pet sit/walk :) I have a fenced yard, so there’s plenty of room for our furry friends to play and run around. I also allow them inside and wander around to get sniffs in and more comfortable in the new environment. I have a lil doggo named ziggy. He is older so he mainly stays inside or in my room. I have a crate and a little gate for the kitchen if either are needed as well as dog bowls, extra leashes.

About: I’m a trustworthy working professional looking to watch cute dogs on the weekends. This is my first time not living with a dog, and I’m in much need of canine time! I’ve had Golden Retrievers all my life and I’ve always been the go-to neighborhood dog watcher & walker growing up! I’d love to help walk, play, or watch your dog on the weekends! I’m currently working full-time at a medical device company but I am generally around and available on the weekends! I don’t have time at the moment to get a dog due to my busy work week schedule but I’d love to be able to be around and help out with dogs on the weekend! My roommate is allergic to dogs so I wouldn’t be able to bring dogs to my house but I’d be willing to be outdoors and explore the area with a furry friend or come to the dogs home to help take care!

“Thanks Olivia! Penny seems very happy after her walk. Exactly what we needed!”


“Helena did such a great job! Havana can be a little reluctant and slow sometimes in her old age but Helena was super patient with her and made sure she got a good walk. I’d definitely recommend her!”


About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience raising two Frenchies and a Chihuahua. I also care for loved ones’ pets when needed, providing reliable, loving, and attentive care. Since I am currently not working, I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate my full attention to caring for pets. My days are focused on providing love, playtime, walks and companionship, making sure your furry friend feels happy and well cared for throughout the day and/or night. I’m available to give your pets the consistent care and attention they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll keep up with their usual routine–feeding, walking, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. When the dogs are calm and resting, I will use that quiet time to tidy up and clean around the house, so everything looks even better than when you left. It’s all about keeping your pets and home happy!

“My wife and I needed a dog walker last minute. We also needed someone to come by early. Amy was very professional. She continuously gave me updates on the walk. This was my first time using a hired dog walker and Amy made me and my wife feel very comfortable. We very much appreciate Amy and the effort she took to walk our dog.”


About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs—my own as well as those of friends and family—I offer more than just pet sitting; I provide trusted, heart-centered care. What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong connection with animals, my consistency, and my natural ability to read and respond to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I don’t just walk or watch dogs—I bond with them, offering a calm, nurturing presence that keeps them happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior dog needing a gentler touch, you can count on me to treat your dog like family—because to me, they are. 🐶💛 I work from home, which means your dog gets the attention they deserve all day long. I schedule my day around walks, playtime, feeding, and care—so your pup’s routine stays consistent, comforting, and full of love. With me, they’re never just “watched”—they’re truly cared for. 🐾 I share my home with two friendly, well-socialized dogs and a fully fenced-in backyard perfect for safe play and relaxation. We take multiple walks each day—one often to the beach or harbor for fresh air and fun, and sometimes we mix it up with a visit to the dog park for extra exercise and social time. Your dog will enjoy an active, engaging, and loving environment that feels just like home! 🐕🌊🐾

“Ryan is incredibly insightful and thoughtful - Our pup is a rescue and was attacked as a puppy so she is quite skiddish and quirky. He was so caring and considerate with her. He eased her into everything and took extra care. His detailed updates were also greatly appreciated! I would absolutely recommend Ryan and will be reaching out to him for future walks. Cant say enough wonderful things!”


“Christina was incredibly helpful and communicative throughout the experience. I was working in a different time zone and I was frequently reminded that my dog was in good had with all of the pictures Christina sent on a daily basis.”


About: I've raised a few dogs and have always loved them like family members. You can expect the same care for your pup. I also communicate very well. I'm currently in between jobs for my tech career. I have an open schedule and no issues with travel. This will work well while I search for jobs. You can expect me to handle your pet to the best of my ability. I will communicate with you throughout if desired with photos and I will make sure to reach out if any questions arise.

About: I don’t just “watch” pets — I get to know their personalities, routines, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed in my care. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they get the physical exercise, mental stimulation, and emotional comfort they need. Pet care is a core part of my everyday life. I plan my mornings, afternoons, and evenings around walk times, feeding schedules, and check-ins. Each day includes plenty of time for exercise, play, and one-on-one attention with the pets I care for. Whether it’s a daily walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, I make sure each animal gets the care and consistency they need. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, play, and routine. Pets have comfy spaces, fresh water, and structured care. In clients’ homes, I follow their instructions closely, keeping pets on their normal schedule while respecting their space. I give regular updates and treat every pet like my own.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I provide compassionate, loving and reliable care. I have grown up with dogs. Have a natural way with them. Every pup feels familiar to me. With years of experience in care, I’ll treat your fur baby like they’re my own family! I’m available anytime, day or night- 7 days a week to provide loving, dependable care for your fur baby. Whether it’s overnight care, daily visits or walks and drop ins, I’m very easily reachable and responsive. While in my care, I dedicate my time to taking care of the pets I’m responsible for. Whether it’s walks, feeding time, cuddles, or playtime, I’ll ensure they feel cherished! My family is small. I live with my husband who is a dog lover himself. Our son goes to UCSD, and lives on campus. When he’s home, he cuddles and loves on dogs just as much as we do. Our home is safe and convenient. Quiet neighborhood of townhomes. We have a wide open greenbelt where all the dogs go to play and walk. There are play times where the neighborhood dogs come out to frolic. However if you me fur baby is not into that, we don’t have to socialize. Can definitely tailor the experience to your dogs preferences. Your dog is my top priority! What they like, I like.

“Savannah was amazing! On time and sent some adorable photos. Will definitely hire again 😊”

“I am so pleased that Kirsty is finally going to work with animals! I don’t trust anyone with my animals but I do trust Kirsty. She has her own dog that is the sweetest, friendliest pup ever. Before my dog passed, I always had Kirsty puppy sit for me because I knew he would be taken care of with love & never go without his meds or anything he needed. I now have a bunny rabbit who is almost 3 years old and Kirsty also watches her when I need someone. Kirsty is just like me, we care for animals more than most people. They rely on us & make us happy & I will always have her watch my animals. Anyone would be lucky to have Kirsty taking care of their babies! She is an amazing, sweet person too.”

Angel A.
“Angel has been such a blessing when it comes to caring for my dog. She’s always been nervous around people and has a hard time trusting anyone, but somehow, she connected with Angel almost instantly. That meant the world to me. Watching her feel safe and comfortable around him was something I honestly didn’t expect, and it speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. Angel is gentle, patient, and truly treats every dog with love and respect. Knowing she’s with someone who genuinely cares gives me so much peace of mind. I’m incredibly grateful for him and couldn’t recommend anyone more highly.”


Jyoti T.
“My Dogs LOVE it when Jyoti comes over! Yogi loves almost everyone but Buddha is very selective about who he likes. Jyoti loves dogs, she’s organized, super reliable and trustworthy. I will definitely be using her in the future when I can’t get the boys out for walks.”
