Dog Sitting DeSoto

“McKensi was fantastic with our cats while we were aware! We had to book last minute after someone else cancelled, and we are so glad we picked her! The updates she provided were wonderful & she was early each visit! We will absolutely book her for our next trip.”

About: Pet Care isn’t only my profession, it’s also my passion. I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, rescuing strays, grooming family and friend’s pets to earn new books, and participating in 4H. That developed into working at an animal shelter, fostering and training stay dogs, and horseback competitions. I learned to groom through a mentorship at a grooming and boarding facility, and now specialize with aggressive and anxious dogs who are turned away from other grooming shops! I’m currently in a mentorship for dog training at a training and boarding facility and continue to foster whenever the opportunity arises. My priority is always honest, compassionate, and ethical pet care. I am equally passionate about people as I am about pets, and strive to make myself a judgement-free resource for owners who feel confused, overwhelmed, or out of resources. Whether that’s teaching owners how to properly brush their dog, helping owners understand their pet’s behavior, finding resources, creating solutions for pet problems, assisting with rehoming when life doesn’t go as planned, or even just helping to foster a healthy and confident relationship between owner and pet. I have worked with ALL sizes, ages, and temperaments and I love all of them. I have worked with special needs dogs, and dogs with extra medical requirements. I’m currently working part-time and my job is quite flexible so I have plenty of time for your pups throughout my days. Each week is different but reach out to me and we can work something out! Because of my background working with dogs professionally, I am more structured and safety minded than most but it works in your benefit when leaving your pups in my care. I strive to follow the dog’s usual routines as closely as possible and make sure that exercise, mental stimulation, feeding, and play needs are met according to each pup’s requirements and owner preferences. There is no ‘one size fits all’ care routine when it comes to dogs since they are all individual and different just like people!

“Carmen is great! She did a wonderful job looking after my dog for a long weekend, and all the great pictures and fun videos she sent during her visits confirmed how well my dog took to her. 10/10 would recommend Carmen!!”

“Mariah is great. I needed last minute care and she was able to help. I met her and her family for a meet and greet and they were so good with my babies. I will definitely have her in mind for future care :).”

Cindy P.

“Loved how she took the time to come and meet my fur baby before. Extremely sweet and most definitely will want her back. Thank you Bentley, Bonnie loved you.”

About: I started pet setting because of my love of fur babies. To me, they are not pets, they are family. I cared for my Simon for the past 18 years. My house has been customized for him because he was a part of my family. From his own room with pet pictures and a fun chandelier, to the dog doors on our patio, to his own private section of the yard, my home is pet friendly. My home will be your fur baby's home away from home. I have experience with young playful pups all the way to senior dogs who require more delicate attention. My family is ready to assist you in your needs. I am a stay at home mom. My schedule typically involves taking my kids to and from school, sitting on the patio, going for walks around the neighborhood, shooting home decor youtube videos, and shopping. While fur sitting, I will typically be home. Your baby will have its own little room (the closet under the stairs with a baby gate). His room is only a few feet from my own bedroom and in the middle of the living room and kitchen. If your baby is housebroken, he will be able to walk around the house freely and I will take him on the patio and the playground in my backyard. If he likes walks, he can go on walks. If he is a senior or if it is too hot outside, I can take him for a walk in the pet stroller. I will also send videos and pictures throughout his stay. I have a large fenced in back yard. Your dog will not be outside alone. I also have an enclosed patio which is great for relaxing and getting fresh air without having to be completely outside.

“We love when Katie comes to sit for our cat!! She is super responsive and great to work with. We’ve used her several times always with great care.”

Rachel C.

“Katie is amazing! She was great with our dog who is a bit skittish around new people and that gave us such peace of mind! She was always right there to take care of our animals so we could enjoy time on vacation with our son!”

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, I have a passion in taking care of them and making sure there are happy & well taken care of from puppies to senior dogs and cats. I also have a veterinarian certification :) I am currently part time I have availability typically every morning before 2:00pm. And I am available all day Tuesdays & weekdays. I am also available every 3rd Saturday of the month. If I am caring at owner home I can asure that I am responsible of taking care of the pet and there safety I also understand the care of allowing someone to enter in your home is scary but I am very responsible and careful.

“Well aside from the initial visit which one tremendously well, I have had one visit with my dog Avalanche. He took to her really fast, she was very loving caring and sweet to him during the visit. I would highly recommend her to anybody else. She is great in communicating as well as very punctual. Thank you for watching my little guy makes me feel much better while I'm at work.”

About: I will treat other dogs like they are one of my own. I will give them treats, praise, play time, training and just give them the attention they deserve. (Especially pets and scratches) I also do not want to force my affection onto a dog if they and their owners are not comfortable with it. I am here to have fun and share my interest for dogs with others, within everyone's comfort zone. If there are any actions or words that need to be avoided, I will use all of my power to do just that so everyone is happy. To put it simply, I am excited for this job and wish meet others that have the same ideas as I do when it comes to dogs.

“Gina was great she sent photos of copper everyday. We scheduled this last minute and she was still able to help me out. I really appreciated it. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I've been a lifelong dog lover, and caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life. From tiny, nervous rescues to big, goofy cuddle-bugs, I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I'm patient, gentle, and attentive - the kind of sitter who notices the little things, keeps routines consistent, and makes sure your dog feels safe, loved, and understood. Whether it's walks, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is simple: happy dogs and peace of mind for their humans. I work part-time and have flexible hours for pet care. I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekday afternoons after 2p.m. Your dog will always have calm, consistent company. My home is quiet and safe, with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I keep routines simple and peaceful, making sure every pup feels secure and cared for. Crating or separate rest spaces are always available if needed.

About: Caring for my chihuahua mix for the past 5 years has given me hands on experience with daily routines, behavior quirks, and how to provide calm, loving care, especially for small or nervous dogs. As a high school teacher, my schedule allows me to be especially flexible during weekends, holidays, and summer breaks. During the school year, I’m available in the afternoons and evenings on weekdays for walks, drop-ins, or sitting needs. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or daily care, I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the love and attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always create a calm, welcoming environment where pets can feel secure and cared for, whether we're at your home or mine. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, needs, and personality to provide personalized care and minimize stress. You can trust that I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you’re always in the loop and can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

About: My experience started when I was around 9 years old. My aunt had a cocker spaniel so that was my introduction into what caring for pets looked like. I treated Diamond, her name, as if she was my own. I learned how to bathe her, feed her, discipline her, play with her, and take her for walks. That same aunt then got three more dogs; a yorkie, a cavapo, and a pit bull so I got experience with taking care of three different dogs at the same time. It was beneficial because all three dogs had their own personalities. Also, pit bulls are so sweet and not the monsters the media says they are:). Next, my brother got a husky, Koda who you may see pictured, so that helped me learn what it was like to take care of big dogs. At first, Koda was scary because of his size but I soon learned that he was just a baby who wanted attention🥹. So I did just that. I would go out and play with him, give him toys, feed him, give him treats, and take him for walksies. It was hard because he pulls but I think I got the hand of it lol. Also, one of my cousins has a chihuahua/poodle mix who I’ll see every now and then who loves to do everything. She’s given me the most experience of how different a dog can be but she’s also so chill🥰 Recently, I gained experience with cats. Me and my roomies decided to adopt a cat named Junior who definitely gave us a run for our money. From seeing him when he was 4 months to now all grown up it’s been a ride. He loves to hide, is very mischievous, hates the outside, loves to climb, and picks and chooses when he wants to cuddle. He was definitely crazy but I love him so much. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters from time to time which have had dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. That has definitely helped me expand my knowledge and gave me a lot of insight on how it is to treat puppies, kitties, sick babies, and the elderly ones🥺. So no matter what your fur baby has to offer, I’ll be there to love on them and provide them with what they need while your away🥰 I’m a college student home for the holidays so I will have a pretty open schedule! I don’t start school for another month so if you are looking for someone to watch your babies as the summer wraps up and last minute trips are taken, I got you!!❤️ All I ask for is a days notice at minimum and I’ll be happy to watch your babies. I will follow all rules presented by the owner. I will treat all pets like they are my very own and make sure they are loved and watched over!

“Elizabeth was absolutely perfect. We hit it off from the time she came for the meet and greet. I could tell that she was going to be a perfect fit to care for Nola!! We would highly recommend her and will use her again.”

Stacey J.

“Angel was amazing with Kody! She was punctual, communicative, and took great care of him during the drop-in. I felt totally at ease knowing he was in good hands. I’d definitely book her again!”

About: While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve cared for a family member’s dogs and cats on several occasions. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping litter boxes clean, always making sure they felt comfortable and well cared for while their owner was away. I’m responsible, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I’m committed to providing safe and dependable care. As a college student, I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 AM–2 PM, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Outside of those hours and my part-time job, I have plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. I plan my days carefully to ensure pets receive consistent care, attention, and timely feedings, so you can feel confident they’re in reliable hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they receive timely feedings, fresh water, walks, playtime, and lots of attention while keeping their space clean and tidy. I don’t currently have a pet of my own, so my home is a calm environment, and I’m able to accommodate small to medium-sized dogs. My goal is always to provide safe, attentive, and loving care.

About: I’ve had big AND small dogs my entire childhood! I’ve also taken care of horses, steers, pigs, chickens, birds (exotic), dogs, cats! After growing up with only dogs and small house pets (hamsters, crabs, fish, frogs, and lizards)In my adulthood, my husband and I have opened our home to several rescues through the six years we’ve been together. At our home we consider ourselves “last owners” animals come to us to live out the rest of their lives, comfortable and loved. We’ve been by the side of 6 rescue birds, a few kittens and one chameleon to watch them cross over the rainbow bridge, and complete their journey. Between Gage (my husband) and I we have 10 cats (willow, meadow, sushi, pumpkin, chai, jenny, lucifer, salem, peggy & naruto) 5 birds (blanca, bleezy, grim, puffer & mongo bongo - she’s a 46 year old scarlett macaw! - ) 1 dog, (chief) 1 chameleon (pascal) and 1 scalata tortoise (torchy) ! we are obviously big animal lovers!! In conclusion, We both have tons of experience around all species of animal and we want your trip to be focused on enjoying YOUR vacation plans, and not worried about if your fur babies were left in the wrong hands! Most of my clients do not have children and their pet is their child. I want to you as the parent of your sweet baby, to be confident when you walk out the door knowing i’ll be there I can not wait to care for all of your babies, fur or reptile! please feel free to reach out to me send ask about my process of meeting the baby and we can discuss pricing! (if it’s too expensive DONT PANIC! we can communicate and i will really take whatever you’d like to pay. I understand vacations are very expensive and I don’t want you to have to choose between a fun tour or activity with you family vs having adequate care for your baby while you’re away. If you think i’m perfect for your home and baby, please let me know what you can pay and i will always work it out! I AM WILLING TO DRIVE AND TRAVEL TO YOU (OUT OF STATE) MY MILAGE IS SET TO 100 MILES LETS TALK!) My husband and I currently have 5 birds, a dog, and a seven kittens, we also are thinking about getting a bearded dragon and we currently have a scalata tortoise!

If I’m not available my husband definitely is! Currently my husband works at Total Wine & More in Cedar Hill. When I / we stay in your home I will most likely be there all day! Rover is my full time job so whatever care your baby needs I’ll make sure to be on top of it! Most bookings I would like to keep my husband with me wherever I am (just for safety reasons), BUT if you’re not comfortable with that I TOTALLY understand and I’m more than willing to stay without my husband!! I want to do whatever makes YOU AND YOUR BABIES safe, happy and comfortable!
