Top rated First Centerville house sitters

“Awesome experience..Happy dog! Kyle stayed at our house for extended weekend with our Hazel and her disposition was so much better than when she is boarded while we are gone. Kyle went above and beyond on also taking care of the house and communicating with us! I definitely would use him again!”



“Latisha was fantastic with our two rescue labs - who can both be a little anxious and needy in their own ways! She kept us updated throughout and I knew our girls were well taken care of!”


“Deborah was responsive and communicative. My two dogs embraced her from the initial meet and greet. One of my dogs is a rambunctious 18 month old and Deborah was very calm and patient with him. She sent me daily photos and updates which I appreciated. I will definitely hire Deborah's services again in the future and recommend her.”


“Jacinda was great with my 3 cats while I was away on vacation! She was very flexible and communicative and helped a ton when I had an emergency while I was away! I will definitely use her again in the future!”


“Matt was an impeccable sitter staying in our home with our two Samoyeds. I have to say, my husband and I were floored when we got home and our dogs were watching dog TV with classic music playing in the background! It was like a spa. Matt gave wonderful updates over our trip. He is a PRO. I hope our schedules work out to have Matt over every time. Thank you, Matt!!!”


“Rhonda was fantastic! Her background and experience were the perfect fit for our senior dog and allowed us to travel with no worries! We will absolutely book her again and recommend her to everyone we know!”


“Skylar was perfect for staying with Ruby at our house for multiple days. She kept us updated, sent us pictures, took great care of her and our house while we were gone.”


“Wendy was exceptional! I don’t like boarding my senior dog because he can get depressed and not eat. I just needed someone who could come hang out with him and give him a couple of walks a day. Wendy did just that and he responded to get well. Our house was also in the exact way we left it. I recommend Wendy.”


About: I have cared for different types/sizes dogs and cats for over 10 years while family/friends have needed assistance. I will treat them like they are my own and would be happy to provide pictures/updates through out the stay! I am currently working from home, so I am very flexible and can care for and love your pets like I do my own. I am able to make frequent drop-ins or stay with them, whatever makes you more comfortable! I have a 3.5 year old Staffordshire/Lab mix if your dog is needing a friend while you are away. I am also a self proclaimed tug-o-war champ and always enjoy a long classic game of fetch.

About: My journey with animals started when I was a kid; I remember my very first dog. He was a lab mix, and his name was Dopey. He was indeed dopey, and I loved him more for it. From the moment I met him, I knew I wanted to always be around animals. My professional career began in 2019 as a bather at a common Petstore. I worked there for a few months before deciding I wanted a more personal environment to care for the animals and get quality time with them, so I left corporate to work for mom and pop grooming salons, daycares and boarding facilities. To gain more knowledge to help care for the animals, I attended Animal Behavior College in Vet Assistance and obtained my Animal CPR certification. With that in hand, I decided to work in a vet office to help further educatemyself for the animals. While working at a Vet Office, I became a Lead Bather and quickly gravitated toward special needs, aggressive and elderly pups. I currently work at a mom and pop grooming Salon in Allen, Tx. I'm working part-time at a grooming salon, so I have plenty of availability to work with. I have early morning availability for walks and home visits and availability after 3:30pm. I have 2 furniture kennels and a pop up kennel. I have multiple running water fountains through my home. I have two dogs of my own, who are walked 4 to 5 times a day. We tend to do short walks in grass during the heated afternoons.

About: I’ve been caring for pets of all types, whether it a dog, cat, pig, skunk. Etc. since I was 10 years old. I’m very well versed and flexible to whatever schedule or needs your pet requires! I’m working part time,my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m available Thursday-Friday all day at anytime!! Monday-Wednesday I’m available after 6 pm. If need be I can work out something to help fit your schedule I am in an apartment right now, two friendly puppies and four friendly cats. I can take your pets on walks regularly, I have plenty of toys for them and a patio if they love to sun bathe.

“Marisol did a fantastic job taking care of my golden doodle, who can be a little particular when it comes to people. She was patient, kind, and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent daily updates with pictures. I came home to a happy pup and a tidy house — couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend her!”


“Mia did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs and cat for our longest trip to date (10 days/9 nights). She will definitely be our go-to house & pet sitter going forward. Her experience with all size animals, including large dog breeds, gave us peace of mind on our vacation. You can rest assured Mia will follow all instructions to a tee and provide updates and pictures throughout.”


About: I love animals, especially dogs and cats! I’ve been obsessed with them since young. I’ve volunteered at shelters and worked at veterinary offices. I’ve raised energetic puppies and cared for a handful of elderly dogs. I am pet CPR and first aid trained. I would love to meet your fur baby and see if my pets and home are a good fit for their stay! This is a side business for me as I am a remote worker who just wants to add more income and joy to her life. I would follow the same schedule your pet receives at home (feeding time, sleep, potty breaks, etc). I have a 6 foot tall wooden fenced yard and a husky girl who has the energy to play all day but if your pet tells her they aren’t interested, she will understand (with a sad face of course). I like to think of pets as family so the couches and beds are not restricted to them. I use free and clear laundry detergent and natural home cleaners. I also do not feed table scraps unless it is okayed by the parent -even then it would be pet safe scraps. I know dog CPR and first aid. I am also aware of what foods to avoid and take allergies very seriously. My yard is regularly treated for any fleas or ticks.

About: I have 2 working line GSD’s and 7 cats! I’ve fostered and rehomed many cats that have come across my way, ever since I was 12! Many of my family, friends, and colleagues have trusted me to take care of their babies, whether it be with check ins or boarding. Experience with all stages of life: kittens, puppies, pregnant mamas, senior cats, all! I’ve trained both of my GSD’s since they were puppies as well. If your furry child has a tendency to throw up or miss the litter box, don’t worry, I’ve cleaned it all haha Currently only work 2-3 days/week. I’m home pretty much all day and can work around whatever your pet needs. In the case that I need to run an errand, I am only gone for a maximum of about 2-3 hours. I live with my mom and sisters so there is always someone home that I can touch base with and call. I treat my pets like my children.. because they are! All of my pets are spoiled to death and I give the same treatment to any animal that is in my care. I’m attentive to any sign of discomfort and act immediately if I sense anything is wrong. I know not every pet is perfect so I exercise a great amount of patience! Whatever your baby needs, all special requests are valid! For boarding, my two dogs are usually in my large backyard most of the day, while the cats roam inside. Your pet is free to roam the house since my cats have many cat trees and other rooms to hide in. If you would prefer a more closed off area, I have an unoccupied room they can stay in and come out for play/potty time. My house is very easily divided so I can prevent your pet from crossing paths with any of my pets if you would like.

“Marina took excellent care of my fur babies! She sent pictures a couple times a day and kept me updated on how they were doing and when she was leaving for a bit with anticipated return time. There was an issue with the first day and she was not able to be on time, but I don’t believe it was in her control. I plan on using her again the next time I go out of town and don’t bring my dogs. She’s very sweet and has a heart for animals!”


About: I have been in the veterinary field since 2021. You can say I’m very well trained! Haha. I actually train on the side with a pal of mine we worked for petco and he was the dog trainer and taught me everything I know! (Akc certified training) Do not be afraid to ask me questions! On my free time I love to walk pets including my own! Life can get very busy and I understand not everyone can have a spare moment to walk their fur babies for as long as they want. I am not offering at home services as I feel that your fur babies will do best in their own known environment, I will ensure they are as comfortable as can be starting with their surroundings! Big or small your babies will be in great hands.
