“Ms. Monique gave Ned an incredible vacation while we were away! His stay was exactly what we were looking for: a loving home away from home. Monique was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, has a great way with animals, and the perfect setup both inside and out. Monique was incredibly responsive and we so enjoyed the updates while we were away :) Ned is already counting down the ways until our next trip back, thank you again!”
“Izzie had a great time! Scott & his family did a great job taking care of her!! I received multiple updates and pictures per day & they were also quick to respond to me. I always worry about leaving my girl with someone new but they did a great job with her. I will 100% be using them in the future”
“Maria so helpful when I needed a last minute dogsitter. Her house is so clean and looks like a dog palace with a big yard and heated dog pad. Great communication as well. Highly recommend”
“Yolanda was a great sitter to my dog Bluto. She is very responsive and sends updates throughout the stay. My dog loved her and I would recommend her to anyone that needs an extended stay.”
“Heather was great! She responded very quickly after I submitted a boarding request and had good communication throughout my dogs stay. I would definitely recommend and would book again with her in the future! Thanks Heather!”
“This is the second time our dog Bailey has stayed with William & Linda. They are so good with her and no worries while we were gone. They treat her like part of their family!! We will definitely use them again!”
“Doreen obviously enjoys dogs. She was able to accommodate the needs of all three of my dogs, one low-maintenance, but one very energetic, and one in a diaper. Daily photos while I was away were a nice treat for me.”
“Kettu couldn't have had a better time! She had a great backyard, some doggy friends, and a person she could depend on and snuggle with. Thank you so much Randy.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased. Our dogs received so much attention and love that we could truly relax on our vacation. Angela also communicated with us daily so we could see for ourselves the fun our dogs were having. We are so happy we found someone to care for our dogs when we are gone and keep them safe and happy.”
“Our pup had the best time at Emily and Charles’ playing with their dogs. They kept us well informed, provided photos & videos for my kids to see, and were super accommodating to our last minute schedule and timing changes. Our pup is completely exhausted in the best way and clearly missed his new friends when we left. Would definitely use them again and would highly recommend them to others.”
“Our puppy Luca had such a great time with Heather and her family! We could have not asked for better care for our boy! Heather was so attentive to Lucas needs and how to keep him active, engaged, and happy. We received lots of pictures and videos while we were gone giving us peace of mind. Luca loved playing with the family dog and even had extra pup company while enjoying a beautiful evening outside by the fire. We will absolutely have Heather and her family sit for us again!”
“Gwyn was wonderful. Kubo had a great time with her pups and was taken care of like he was family. Thank you Gwyn for helping our vacation be stress free knowing our fur baby was in good hands.”
“Christiana ensured Finn had an activity filled weekend and took such good care of him! He was so tired after a weekend on the lake with her kids and dogs. Hope to book with her again!”
“We had searched for a while for a sitter to replace the one we had. Marie and her family are outstanding! Our dog, Lola, was so well cared for. Marie kept us updated with photos and comments. She is a dog lover and has had much experience with caring for animals. She has two dogs of her own, so Lola had some playmates for her stay. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely book with Marie again very soon!”
“Micah was so great with our pup. She kept us informed everyday on how she was doing and sent us pics and videos! She kept her active as well which is really great for our dog. This made our vacation much more enjoyable knowing she was given a bunch of love and attention!”
About: I had a pet sitting business in Dallas Texas for 5 years. I took care of dogs, cats, birds, chickens, lizards and snakes. We stayed at peoples homes and did visits back then. We have always had animals in our house. We love animals and enjoy there company. We can take dogs into our home. My son will be able to walk your animals and we can take visits into your homes. We can work with you to see what best fits all of us. We will work with you to make sure your animals are happy and have what they need while you are away. We do not have a fence in the back yard so they will have to go on leads and if they can walk we will walk them around the neighborhood
“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with April. She is very friendly, her home is beautiful and clean, she has a couple of cute kiddos, and she has friendly dogs of her own which provided entertainment for our Paisley. We weren't disappointed - we received photo updates of Paisley at her stay. Upon pickup, Paisley was healthy and happy! We will definitely have April care for Paisley again. Thank you!”
