“Sierra took great care of my four rescues! She gave the dogs their meds and baths, fed all, cleaned the litter box daily, took the dogs for two walks a day, and even incorporated some raw food into one of my dog’s diets. She kept in touch, and sent photos too. I highly recommend her!”
“Danielle was responsive, took time to meet my dog before the booking, and communicated well throughout the process. She took good care of dog and was even flexible with my return. Highly recommended!”
“I can’t thank Jacob enough for taking care of my dogs and newborn puppies while I was on vacation. He followed every instruction to the letter, kept the house clean, and made sure the pups were fed and rotated with the mom just like we planned. He was reliable, respectful, and even updated me with photos and messages so I had peace of mind the whole time. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter. Appreciate you, Jacob!”
“Nichole was very attentive and Lenny enjoyed his time with her. She went above and beyond and paid special attention to him because he was sick, but still took the time to let my other pet out and take care of him. Her background as a VA was a big reason why we chose her, but her compassion and attention to detail is why I'll chose her first going foward.”
“Wonderful experience for both our pups and us! Thalia was super responsive, cheery, and the pups really responded well to her even while we were away. Would happily have her house/pet sit for us again.”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Rebecca when she house sat for my dog and cat. She was communicative, kind, funny, and clear. I would love to book with her again in the future.”
“As I told Marina, “We got home and the dogs were very happy, but didn’t go bonkers and that’s awesome! Thank you very much :) “. Seriously, I was relieved they were so relaxed!”
“Leola was AMAZING!!! She was so sweet to my 2 dogs and took great care of them and my home. One of my pups had tummy issues and she was very knowledgable with that to do. She arrived right on time, send me photos and videos to ease my nerves about leaving, and was very quick to reply in our communications. I HIGHLY recommend you allow Leola to take care of your furbabies. I will ABSOLUTELY be asking her to come back soon!!”
“Rylee exceeded all expectations, and we are lucky to have found her. She is communicative, engaging, responsible, and most importantly, caring. She sat our furry family and home for nearly two weeks, regularly sending updates and photos while we were out of the country. We highly recommend her for anyone seeking a sitter for pet and/or home. She will be our choice for the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Denise was so kind to our dogs we have a special needs dog and she was wonderful with him she stayed the entire time and even took them on a hike and to the mall. Excellent care of our home and our pets!!! I would highly recommend!!! She even charmed our cat who hates everyone!!! We came home to a clean home and happy babies !!!”
“Georgia was fantastic! She was available on short notice and took amazing care of our dog, Milo. Our dog is an anxious rescue, but she is a dog whisperer and immediately put our boy at ease and he was even wanting to sleep with her night one and showing his belly which he doesn’t do unless he’s 100% comfortable. I apologized for running low on his supplies and for him being a little stinky since his bath was delayed and she didn’t even hesitate to offer to go grab what he needed and even offered to bathe him. On top of taking great care of him, she took care of us anxious dog parents and communicated every step of the way and gave lots of updates and pictures. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
“D was super respectful of my home and took great care of my fur babies! They loved spending time with her and her daughter! I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
About: Dogpark local from the downtown area. I have a dog, Barbie, and my two cats, Kori and Envy. I’m active, positive, professional, and gentle. I feed both my cats and dog in the morning and afternoon. I take Barbie out every morning and afternoon, sometimes at night around the park. All of my animals are very playful. I am a Dogpark local, who takes care of many of my friends pets and homes. This includes taking them to the Dog Park, walking, and sitting for them.
“Ashley was fantastic! Her background as a former vet tech really shows—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about puppies and made us feel completely at ease. We also reached out last minute, and she was so accommodating and flexible with our schedule. We’re really grateful for her help and would definitely book with her again!”
“all my fur babies seemed happy and healthy when we came back from my vacation. I got pictures daily which helped me relax and enjoy my vacation. The house was in good order and I have no complaints except Pip seemed disappointed to see me and not Gabriella.”
“Leandra was fantastic! Her communication was excellent and I felt very secure with her watching my dog. She went above and beyond and will definitely book again when I'm out of town.”
“We recently had Samuel look after our dog in our home while we traveled for a few days. He offered a meet and greet and explained very thoroughly how he’d care for our dog. He listened and asked questions about our dog’s routine to make sure he provides the best care. While we were traveling, we received daily text messages with pictures and updates of our dog. We had a great experience working with Sam, Thank You for taking such amazing care of our dog and home. Mini really enjoyed your company! We will be in contact again!”

Nichole was excellent! She took great care of Terre, kept me updated, sent photos, and made sure he was happy and comfortable. Unfortunately, my A/C stopped working during the booking and maintenance had to come in and out several times, but she was incredibly understanding and patient through the whole situation. She truly went above and beyond, and I came home to a very happy dog. I would definitely book with her again!
This is the second time we’ve booked with Caileigh, and we’re very happy with the care she provided. She was thorough, attentive, and diligent in managing our dog’s strict seizure medication schedule. We’re especially grateful that Malla remained seizure-free, as changes in routine and stress can sometimes trigger episodes. Caileigh truly went above and beyond, and we’d happily book with her again.
I was visiting San Antonio from out of town while my sister was in the hospital and found myself needing someone on very short notice to sit with my baby, Bear. Lexus responded quickly and immediately put my mind at ease. She took such wonderful care of him, kept me updated throughout the entire visit, sent photos, and communicated consistently the whole time. Being away from your pet during an already stressful situation can be difficult, but I truly felt secure leaving Bear in her care. Lexus was kind, dependable, attentive, and professional. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter and would definitely book with her again in the future.
This was the first time I have ever had someone I don’t know staying in our home watching our animals. Jared was amazing. He came for a meet and greet and the dogs immediately loved him. Our older female border collie usually doesnt love on new people so her reaction was very telling. We trusted Jared with our place for 10 days while we were on the other side of the country. He did an amazing job with texts multiple times a day every day as well as pictures of the dogs loving life. We have a doorbell camera and can confirm Jared took the dogs out every 4 hours as we requested and did long walks with the dogs so they could play. Not just pee breaks. I will definitely be using Jared again and if anyone has any reservations about him please take my vote of confidence. He did a fantastic job.
This is the second time Jessica saved my sanity :) When life throws you a curve ball and you suddenly need care for your fur baby, you can count on her! She is reliable, gives lots of lovin’, keeps in contact and sends great photos. I miss my pup while I’m gone but I know she’s in excellent hands.
