House Sitting in Five Mile Creek, Dallas

About: Updated 01/26/2025 Hello pet parents, a little about myself and home: I am a stay at home mother of a 5 year old. Our house sits on a larger corner lot with a large fenced backyard with plenty of room for dogs with a need to stretch their legs. The majority of the time we are home to care for your pup/kittens needs and I am pretty open to whatever schedule you need provided I am given some notice if anything changes. I have 2 cats that will never meet your pet, we have the gated living room and the cats have their area blocked off. We have currently 1 unexpected addition to our family and that is a little Yorkie mixed pup that we found late last year in November. She is very sweet and is actually very good around cats as well. Pet sitting is my full time job which lets me spend as much time at home with your pup or cat throughout the time they stay. Our living room is kept mostly empty save for our sectional and it is gated off from the rest of the home, this is to help keep any messes to one room and helps keep any chewers from getting into something that could make them sick. The living room has a door to the backyard which is fully fenced and has enough room to zoom around and explore. There are no daily walks, but any toy you bring can be enjoyed outside with your pet for proper exercise and energy burning, this ensures no running into any outside dangers while in our care. Food is not provided, what they eat is what you provide for them normally every day. If you have canned food that will need to be covered please bring a cover for it to stay fresh for your pet when refrigerated.

“Ty did a fantastic job taking care of our anxious pups! He provided photos/video updates daily and we could see how happy our dogs were. Not only did he provide loving care with walks, playtime, and cuddles; but he also did personal training sessions with our dogs as well to help improve their behavior. He is professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and experienced. We will definitely book with Ty again!”

“I wish I could keep Miriam a secret but must share that she was great! We have two senior dogs, the ‘more senior’ of whom is in his waning year. He has several health issues, takes more than a few meds and he has a special diet, so instructions get fairly detailed. Miriam, however, took it all in stride when she brought her calm demeanor and her extensive experience with pets of all ages and stages to house sit our guys. Miriam’s communication and great questions during our meet and greet prior to her stay put us right at ease and our dogs loved her. Communication (with photos) was great throughout. Our most senior dog’s needs require only housesitting and we have already rebooked with Miriam. As much as I dread when he is no longer with us, I am confident our ‘less senior’ boy will enjoy boarding with Miriam when that day comes. I highly recommend Miriam!”

“Julia!! So sweet and so flexible and accommodating! She left my place clean, even stripped the bed and put linens in the wash. I got photo updates daily and my boy had a big smile on his face when I got home. What more could I ask for??? Thank you so much.”

“Isaac is truly wonderful! He communicated frequently with us about our pup, sent photos & video, and was flexible to accommodate a delayed flight arrival.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Karina & Alberto! They have been absolutely amazing in taking care of my dog overnight while I’m at work. From the moment I met them, I knew my pup was in the best hands. They are incredibly loving, attentive, and responsible—They provide plenty of playtime, cuddles, and even send me updates and photos, which I really appreciate. It’s such a relief knowing my furry family member is safe and loved while I’m at work. If you’re looking for kind, trustworthy, and genuinely caring people to look after your pet, I highly recommend them! Thank you both so much for everything—you’re truly the best! 🐾💛”

“Katelyn D was a great find for our furry baby . Originally we were looking for someone to take our dog out few times in 24 hours. Ketelyn offered to stop buy our place day before. She introduced herself, met our dog and made such positive impression that we decided to change our request and hire her for home stay. That was great decision. During Katelyn’s stay at our place she took great care of our dog. She took him out , gave him food played with him and supplied us with photo updates . Communication was great and easy. We are planning to keep Katelyn on recurrent booking for our dog as well we will recommend her services to our friends and family members with pets. A+ service as well as 5* review is well deserved.”

“Alexandra is INCREDIBLE! She maintained consistent contact, she sent multiple videos and pictures the entire time! Remington got a nice walk, a car ride, a Dutch Bro cup, and lots of individual care aka SHE GOT SPOILED 💗🐾! I couldn’t have dreamed of a better Rover sitter! 10 OUT OF 10 would highly recommend!! We can’t wait to book again!!”

“Kelsey took great care of our pup while we were away! She was always very quick to respond and sent plenty of updates throughout the stay. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 10 when I got my first dog. I taught him how to sit and lay down. Since then I have had a general passion for animals. I am a full time nurse but I get off around 4 and then have an entire evening to hang out with your pets. I am also completely free on the weekends. I have an 8 year old pitty that is basically my daughter. She is spoiled rotten. She knows “iced coffee” from the amount of times I have take her to Dutch bros to get coffee with me, of course she gets a pup cup. She is very sassy and prefers to be inside in my bed most of the time. She has a bulging disc in her neck so she is not very active anymore.

“Crystal is FANTASTIC. She went above and beyond for me and was super flexible with accommodating the medical needs of my older cat! It’s so nice having peace of mind when you’re away but you know your pets are being very well cared for!! Thank you Crystal!!”

“Madison is WONDERFUL! She took care of my two high energy Pit bulls for the night. She kept me up to date with them using videos, pictures, & told me how everything was going. She really is amazing. It was like I wasn’t even gone with her doing the girls normal routine. I highly recommend her as a sitter, & I will be booking with her a lot more for the future!”

About: I’ve only been a dog mom for a little over 4 years but have quickly fallen in love with all fur babies! I have a pretty moody dog so I have lots of patience for other pups:) I live a very active lifestyle and take my pup on runs so your pup can join us. My partner is also on rover (Grayson M.) and works from home so you will get two dog sitters in 1 booking! We have a huge fenced in yard and plenty of water toys for dogs who love to play outside and live .2mi away from Kiest Park and a nature trail which is great for pups who need extra outdoor sniff time. For extra hot days, we have plenty of indoor enrichment puzzles and toys! And we have a Bark box membership so constantly have new toys + treats to share :) We don’t usually leave our house too often or for long when we’re watching a pup, but when we do leave we have plenty of indoor cameras and a security system to alert us of any emergencies. we also have several bedrooms so if any pups are anxious we can make a comfy room for them while we’re gone and check in on them via camera. 🐱 families! My family has had cats forever so i’m familiar with working cats through all stages of life and have administered medication as well. I know the importance of keeping a cats home clean so they’re comfortable and will work my hardest to tidy up and provide them with the attention they may need! One of our family cats is very shy and actively hides from us so I am experienced with trying to motivate a cat out of their favorite hiding nook. :) my partner and I really treat our dog like she’s our daughter and your pup will be part of our family while they’re here! we will take care of them as if they’re our own just like we’ve done so for others. 🩷 I work remote 100% and have some occasional travel for work so I will be mindful of that as I schedule visits. My partner also lives with me and works from home so we will always be attentive. We have flexible work schedules which grants us the privilege to do lots of backyard time, walks/runs throughout the day, and early park visits before it gets too packed. I am not very comfortable letting dogs unleashed unless it’s in our backyard! I know it takes a bit sometimes to gain a dogs trust and don’t want them running off because we don’t know each other too well.

“Dylan was great!! Helped us out on short notice, and very flexible with the situation!! Moose seemed to love him. He sent lots of pictures and was very communicative with me all day! Would highly recommend!”

“Nita provided ABSOLUTELY the best care ever for our fur babies?? and home!!! Everything was perfectly taken care of. Our 2 are older(spoiled) and one does not like storms. A storm did pop up and Nita gave her extra ❤️ love. We are retired now and want to travel. She gave us this opportunity with no worries. Planning the next trip now, but will check for her availability before finalized. Happy we found her??”

“Loveneet did a wonderful job staying with Opie at our home while we were away. He managed to get a normally camera shy dog to pose for some great pics. Highly recommended!”

“Kendall saved the day! We planned a pretty last minute weekend getaway and thankfully, I landed on Kendall! She was amazing and extremely personable, which made me comfortable leaving my home and pooch in good care! Ram absolutely loved her! She sent plenty of pics and updates on my baby. I highly recommend using Kendall! I will be using her services in the future! Thanks Kendall!”
