“Honey was amazing! She was not only attentive to my puppy’s needs but also sent regular updates keeping me in the loop with how everything was going. It was very reassuring to receive updates and photos showing just how happy and well-cared for my puppy was. She also takes photos as a hobby so we got some really nice photos of our puppy! It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
“Jatarah was very good with Blanca giving her belly rubs and even taking her for a car ride which she loves. I would definitely be leaving my fur baby with Jatarah again and would give her 10 stars ⭐️!”
“Kaley was simply amazing! We are a military family moving across the country and also had some vacation plans in the middle of the move that required someone take care of our dog AND cat. There weren’t a lot of places or people that would accommodate both. Kaley was so attentive to our babies and communicative with us throughout their two-week stay. If we weren’t moving to Texas, we’d definite trust her for any boarding/pet sitting needs! Thanks to Kaley I was actually able to relax and enjoy my vacation.”
“Kaitland watched my dog for over a week and the experience couldn't have been better. She had a great environment to board with 2 really friendly dogs and very friendly kids! She was knowledgeable and excellent with new animals and I am 1000% going to use her again as my go to sitter.”
“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”
About: I have been caring for animals and children my whole life. I am empathetic and have a calming energy. I care for all animals as if they were my own and will make pick up and drop off a breeze. I am currently working from home and have no issue caring for your pet. I am very transparent and will be upfront and communicative. Call day or night when your pet is in my care! I have a large, high fenced backyard. My neighborhood is quiet and safe. The sounds of the trees rustling with the breeze and the brids chirping is sure to put your dog at ease. My house is very calm and peaceful.
“Amanda is great! She is extremely prompt with communication and sending “pupdates” with pictures and videos. She made sure my dogs were settling in well - checking in with us right away when one of them wasn’t eating, The facility is great. My dogs got to stay indoors in their own room (with a couch) and had plenty of outdoor play time as well. They were well taken care of and seemed very happy. We even had one of our dogs decide to create a nasty hot spot right before we left and without hesitation, Amanda administered her medications and monitored her. I highly recommend her for boarding! Another bonus is how close she is to the airport if you are traveling!”
About: I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up, I was surrounded by rabbits, cats, dogs, hamsters, and more. Friends and family know me as the go-to person for pet advice and rehoming support. With years of hands-on experience, I’m here to provide your pets with the same love and care I give my own. I’m a stay at home mom which makes me available to care for animals full time, I’m not away from animals for more than a two hour time - but only if we need a store trip. Our home is fully fenced in, the animals will never be outside or alone with my children unattended. We only take animals from one family at a time.

“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”

Janet and Saar are very kind and responsive and clearly took great care of Riley while she was with them”

About: Senior care, kittens/puppies, special needs. I have had animals all my life and connect with them on a different level. I often hear people say that their dog or cat doesn’t like people when they like me. I’m flattered and appreciative of their trust. I understand what that takes & I return it with love. I am a corporate professional, currently going back to school, pursuing my dream of getting a degree in Interior Design. My classes are virtual which gives me a lot if flexibility. I spend my time with my 2 cats and dog while studying. I care for my fur babies like they are my children, because they literally are my kids. I have had several special needs pets, and know how to handle challenging situations. I love to meet new people and their pets. I often find myself stopping to say hello to a random stranger, bonding over their fur baby. It’s the constant connection in my life.
