About: Hi I’m Alexis. Dogs have always been my favorite animals. I aim to keep your buddy comfortable, taken care of, and engaged. I have a lot of energy to play with your dog, and love to go on runs. I am more than happy to accommodate any special needs they have. I have experience training two puppies over the past five years, potty training, etc. I live by a park where your dog will be able to run freely. I will love and take care of your dog like it’s my own. I have a 2 year old short hair named Legend, he’s playful and gets along really well with other dogs, he loves meeting new animals, and is always exploring. Please do not hesitate to reach out.
“I wish I had met Jenn a long time ago!! She is very attentive, communicates well and really cares for your pup! She is the best!!! She is definitely someone I would recommend and would keep hiring, always. Thank you Jenn!!”
About: I raised my own furbaby for almost 11 years and I petsit all my family members' animals (including chickens, guinea pigs, and even a horse). As a teenager I was the go-to pet walker and sitter for the neighborhood and I am quite talented at "convincing" pets to take their meds. I also have lots of experience with puppy pads and cleaning "messes". We just moved to FW and I plan on working part time substitute teaching while I work on updating my teaching and music therapy credentials. I'll have plenty of time (and probably energy) to come ensure your pets are staying healthy and loved. I like to keep my eyes on them as much as humanly possible, especially if they're codependent, baby/elderly, or with medical concerns. That water bowl stays full! Exercise, play, and snuggles are highly recommended. I also own a pet stroller for anyone that wants their pet "walked" without them having to actually be on the ground.
“Emily is exceptional. We have had a few different Rovers over the years, and she truly went above and beyond. We were so amazed by her attentiveness and communication. We highly recommend Emily!”
“Had a great experience with Angela. She made the effort to come meet the dogs before the actual stay. She communicated and sent pictures while I was on vacation. Definitely would recommend and hire her for future trips.”
“Kelsi was amazing with our little pups. She did a great job communicating and kept us updated while we were away, even sending great pictures for us to enjoy. She was sooo sweet with our pups and we could not have asked for more. Would not hesitate at all using her again!”
About: We’d be honored to be your pet’s home away from home. With us, they’ll be pampered, loved like family, and treated just like our own :) My girlfriend Priscilla and I work from home, which means we get to spend lots of quality time with the pets in our care. We have a spacious, clean backyard that’s professionally treated every week perfect for playtime! And we're excited to be adding a mini dog pool soon for even more fun! You’ll receive photo and video updates of your pet during their stay, so you can feel close even while you're apart. Our home is a safe, loving space, and our friendly pups are always excited to welcome new furry friends!
“Caitlin was amazing! She sent tons of photos and updates of the pups. They loved her and she took amazing care of the house, too. We definitely 100% recommend her to anybody needing pet sitting services.”
“Normally our dogs are very stressed when we come home from a trip. Not this time! Katherine did a great job with them and they were happy. Her communication is great before and during the time we were gone. We will definitely ask her back!”
“Ava provided exceptional sitting services. She was not only very responsive and kind but also showed great respect for my home. Most importantly, she took excellent care of my pup. I highly recommend Ava for anyone in need of trustworthy and caring pet care services.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and my connection with them runs deep. I’m currently the proud owner of Coconut, a gentle and affectionate Great Pyrenees who has completely stolen my heart. She’s a daily reminder of how special the bond between a person and their dog can be—and that’s the kind of love and care I extend to every pup I meet. I currently work full-time on weekdays Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm so weekends typically work best for overnights. I can do walks and feedings after 5pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. Depending on the needs of your dog, I can play with them outside, take them for a walk/run, or if they're old just give them plenty of love and attention.
“So amazing!! So friendly and goes above and beyond! I was super nervous to leave my 4 dogs behind for the first time and she reassured me every step of the way. Even left my house cleaner than when I left. 10/10! (Kind of don’t want to recommend so I can keep her to myself).”

Ali & Priscilla A.
“Ali loves animals he is the only person I know that will adopt any animal that needs a home and gives them food, shelter and a place of their own but most importantly he gives them love, Ali gives them the type of love that they never had so it encourages us like humans to step up and love the way he does. One time I was in need of a dog sitter and even made my dog a nice home of his own, my dog fell so in love that now I take him over every now and then. Most people would drive past a pet in need but not Ali, no sir he will make sure that pet makes it out to sniff another day. !”
