“Dana did fantastic. She is very patient and kind with our dog. He was very scared at first but eventually came around. She always kept me updated with how he is doing during the day and sent pictures , which I really appreciated. Thank you Dana for everything you did!”
“The best!!! Reliable! Trustworthy! Genuine! I rescued a dog that had been in a crate/shelter for 6 years! He has severe PTSD and wouldn't allow anyone around but me, and now Rebecca. She's been a lifesaver.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover and have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I’m always excited to take them on walks and show them much love!💗 I am originally from Orange, California and just moved to Sherman, TX.

About: Hi! I am Gracie. Caring for dogs is something I've always known how to do. From someone who has been raised with dogs my whole life, I consider them family. That is exactly how your baby will feel when they are with me My home is fenced off with open fields perfect for the wildest zoomies. Your pup will have access to water at all times, being fed according to your directions, along with lots of tummy rubs, hugs, and naps. And you can bet they are allowed on all furniture, when they are in my home we treat them like family. My goal is to show you can trust me with your fur baby and know that they are in good hands and will feel just as loved as at home. Currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to give to your dogs or cats. My mornings and afternoons are extremely flexible and I have most nights to board at my house You can ensure that your babies will be just as loved as at home. Trust is important to me and I want you to feel safe and secure knowing who you leave your pet with. That is someone who deeply cares for animals and shows passion and love to them always.
About: I have 10+ yrs of experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I have 2 dogs myself that's are love bugs! They get along great with other dogs. Before moving to TX I cared for 3 dogs, 1 small & 2 big. All dogs were taught basic commands, tricks, leash etiquette and more! I also have plenty if experience with puppies. Loveee puppies! l am home all days of the week including weekends and can make my own schedule! I am very flexible with pick up & drop off times as well. I have a 6ft fence surrounding my backyard and security cameras to keep an eye on your pet at all times. I live in the perfect neighborhood for taking your pet on walks if you'd prefer I do so during boarding. I can crate your pet if requested. They can also sleep where they choose - dog bed, human bed, crate, in my room, in a spare room, etc. Lastly, I have 2 dogs, no cats & no children.
“Ashlee was so sweet and our socially anxious fur baby loved her!! She send us pics and a detailed update every day, the occasional video and she even sent us a link to a toy she thought our cat would enjoy based on her playing style. Our cat is pretty shy and she took to Ashlee very quickly, and we could tell she was a great fit right away. She’s very communicative and quick to respond to messages, 10/10 would absolutely book again.”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. While serving in the military, I became my company’s go-to pet sitter, trusted to provide reliable care for both dogs and cats during long trainings and deployments—sometimes up to a month at a time. I’m experienced with overnight care, senior pet routines, administering medication, and making shy or anxious animals feel safe and loved. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extended care, I treat every pet like family. I recently transitioned out of the military, so my schedule is very flexible right now. I’m available every day after 12 PM and can easily accommodate afternoon, evening, or overnight care. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—whether it’s daily drop-ins, long walks, or extended stays, I have the time and commitment to give your pets the attention they deserve. I take pet safety and comfort seriously—whether they’re in my home or yours. At my home, I have a big, securely fenced-in backyard perfect for playtime, and I share the space with my three friendly (and spoiled!) miniature dachshunds who love making new friends. I always do slow introductions to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. When providing drop-in care or walks at your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions carefully, double-check gates and doors, and make sure your pet feels relaxed while you’re away. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a long walk, I keep safety a top priority and send regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: What sets me apart from others, is that I’m in the process of starting vet school, and I have two beautiful Great Danes! I absolutely adore animals and truth be told if I could I would have a ranch for all of them❤️ I’m a stay at home wife, who does what she can for the strays that see. It’s perfect for me because we have a busy life and can’t really squeeze in a full time job with scheduling. So taking care of fur babies part time is something I’d really love to do! Playtime, baths, feeding, walks, and if asked I could take them to the dog park vet visits whatever it may be:) I just can’t provide any medical attention
About: I have a gentle and loving spirit. I accept all animals into my world. The more the better! I have a lot of love to give. I work part time so I have plenty of extra time to spend with all the pets. I love being outside and going for walks and spending time with animals as much as I can. Whenever I'm with any pets, they have my full attention and care. I'm happy to sit with pets as long as needed and give them the love and care.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I sit for family/friends animals and I love animals of all kinds but dogs hold a special place in my heart. Dogs just know certain things a lot of people don’t. 🐾 🐶 It’s important for dogs to have a schedule. I take my dogs outside every two-three hours, outside time is important to any and all animals. I will treat and take care of your pet as if it were my own. My two dogs are my life. I’m trustworthy and honest and will treat your pet with the love that I would expect from someone caring for my pet.
About: I've owned dogs growing up, as well as watched pets(mainly dogs, cats, and snakes) for family and neighbors for about 10 years now! I have walked, fed, bathed, as well as given different medications to pets, and am comfortable with any breed. I am a fresh college graduate, looking for a good summer time gig! Aside from pet sitting, I also do uber eats/doordash. While pet sitting, I do not have to do deliveries if you would prefer! If needed, I can crate your pets. I am able to walk, pick up, and transport pets as needed. I personally have a lot of energy, so I will happily run around with your pets to get the energy out!
About: I grew up on a farm, where we had animals from goats to rabbits and chickens. So I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs and cats.

I have four cats in my house and we just brought two kittens into the world. We also have multiple outside animals we feed like a scary opossum and we also have three ducks.

Hannah K.
“Hannah is hands down the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She watched my three cats for a full month, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. She not only made sure they were fed and had fresh water every day, but also spent quality time with them—playing, snuggling, and giving each one the individual attention they crave. Hannah clearly loves animals and treated my cats like her own. She sent me regular updates with photos and notes, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She was also incredibly prepared—she knew the locations of nearby emergency vets and had a clear plan in case anything unexpected happened (thankfully, it wasn’t needed!). The litter boxes were spotless when I got home, and my cats were calm and happy—which says a lot! Hannah even took time to brush them and kept up with any special feeding instructions I left. Her attention to detail and genuine care made a world of difference. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving cat sitter!”

She goes above and beyond to make sure my fur babies are as comfortable as they could possibly be while I’m away. I recommend her to all of my family and friends when they need someone! You couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. She makes sure to always leave the house as clean as I left it too!”
