“Eliza was just simply fantastic. I found myself in a position where I needed to have another sitter for the boys literally the last minute. She replied almost instantly and really helped me out. When I arrived I simply knew that she cared deeply about providing the best experience for my furry family members. Highly recommend her and I will not hesitate to rebook in the future. Thank you again”
“Shelby is awesome with our fur baby! I have full trust in her when my pet is in her custody! She will communicate via pictures and texts to keep you informed of the great time your pet is having!”
“Zorro's time with Sarah was incredible! He had a wonderful time. She was very conscientious to make him feel loved and comfortable. Sarah knew this was his first experience with a new sitter and sent pictures and videos to show how happy and content he was. His appetite was good and he slept well through each night. I highly recommend Sarah and will schedule with her again when needed.”
“Would leave 10 stars if I could! Julie is the best and her place is the perfect! My dog is always safe, all kinds of room to run and play, and Rooster always comes home happy and exhausted! In the best way!”
About: I live in Whitehouse with my husband Casey and our 2 little dogs Parker and Wally. We both work from home full time, which leaves us with plenty of availability to have dog friends come stay with us! We go walking regularly, have a secure yard, and our house is very dog friendly. Both my husband and I work from home full time, so we are home all day long. We are able to accommodate regular potty breaks in our large fenced backyard, and typically do walks in the morning or evening. I have lived in Whitehouse my entire life and am very familiar with the surrounding neighborhoods. I am very careful with my own dog (never unleashed, supervised backyard time) and will do the same with others pets. We treat our dogs and other dogs like family, ensuring the dogs are comfortable and safe when at our home.
“Jessica was amazing! She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. He was so happy and comfortable with her that I don’t think he even missed me! 😂🐾 I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 💕”
“I can't say enough good things about Luke. I boarded my dog, JD, with him for 6 days while I was out of town, and the experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. I would 100% recommend Luke.”

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and have about two years of pet sitting experience. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand the level of care, attention, and trust that goes into looking after someone’s pet. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including puppies and seniors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and sticking to your dog’s routine, and I treat every pet like my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or check-ins, I’ll make sure your dog gets consistent care, attention, and companionship. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who are used to being around other pets. I always prioritize safety by supervising interactions, keeping a clean and comfortable environment, and following your pet’s routine closely. I can crate your dog if needed and will make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.
“Yay! Jerry was lovely and sent updates about Georgie. Pleasant, professional, and George seems to like him! George says 12/5 stars and that's cool bc George doesn't know how to count.”
“Bailee’s communication is phenomenal! She responds fairly quick and gave us constant picture updates of our fur baby’s progress. Ozzy seemed to have made himself at home and had fun there because he came back sleepy, which is good for us! :)”
“This was my first time leaving our dog with a sitter and she was great! Rocky was nervous but Isabel was patient and loving with him. My kids really enjoyed getting pictures of him and seeing him doing well. Would book again. Thank you.”

About: I am an animal lover. I have three dogs of my own, all small rescues. I love big dogs but can’t have them in our tiny house. I am a full time nurse practitioner but take care of animals on my days off. I know how hard it is to find loyal and trustworthy people to care for my animals. That is why I wanted to provide this service. Also, walking and playing with dogs and cats is fun. We also travel and are interested in keeping dogs during travel. My husband and I work together to make sure our dogs are outside regularly throughout the day. I will only be taking appointments on my days off, so my schedule is a little sporadic. For overnight stays, I need to have walked your dogs at least 4-5 times and/or completed a trial of doggy day care to make sure your dog gets along with my personal animals.

- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.

- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Jacksonville.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
