About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was very young, especially dogs and even reptiles! I’ve spent many many hours researching different breeds of dogs so I could understand what they needed to be happy and healthy. I can even do bath times! With me, your pets will be in the best of care. I’m a stay at home mom who loves playing with pets and taking them on walks and play dates. I have a large vehicle which allows for me to transport pets easily. If you need them brought to the groomer or the vet? I’m your girl! I’m currently available to pupsit on weekends with weekdays on a case to case basis, I have two very friendly dogs who love making new friends! They are both crate trained which will allow those pets with a fear of others to thrive. My yard is fenced in as well and I have a 5yr old who loves to play with animals and go on very long walks

“Thank you for taking my pup, Scout, on such a short notice. He had a blast! He certainly misses you and all his friends he’s met today. Can’t wait to book with you again!”


“Wow! What a wonderful experience I had with Joni & Jerry! They were incredibly accommodating and welcoming to me and my dog. They absolutely treated my dog as their own and gave her so much love and attention! Plenty of pictures sent assuring me she was warming up and and having fun! Please leave your dog(s) with them if ever in Terrell/Greenville you will be more than pleased!”


About: Since 2018, I have been providing care for various breeds of dogs. I currently own a dog whom I cherish greatly. I am a proud dog owner. I provide them with meals three times a day, bathe them twice a week, and take them for daily walks. Being a full-time housewife allows me plenty of time to take care of my pets. I enjoy working with both customers and their pets. I’m patient, friendly, organized, cheerful, and responsible. One of my strengths is that I’m very reliable—if I have a job to do, I always finish it on time. I also work well with others and communicate clearly. Although I sometimes feel nervous speaking English, I’m practicing every day and improving step by step. I believe my positive energy helps me connect with dogs, even if they don’t know me. There’s something in me that makes them feel safe and comfortable. My home is spacious and has a beautiful garden, giving dogs plenty of room to run and play freely.

“Michele & Jessica were fantastic! They are such warm wonderful people who clearly have a lot of love to give. Our pup definitely had a great time with them and I wouldn't hesitate to book them again.”


“Nelson did such a great job watching my fur baby! I am super protective over my 3 year old Siberian Husky & Nelson provided picture updates of my dog throughout the stay. His home is a very safe space & he allowed my dog to feel comfortable& at home. My dog was so happy AND tired out! He wasn’t thirsty or hungry, he was well loved & cared for and received the exercise he needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone & definitely will be coming back!!”


“Giselle is awesome, Jack enjoys his puppy care and doesn't come home stressed out. Thank you!!”



About: When mom n dad are away- gramma Paulette is here to stay with your critters- to spoil them with love, exercise, and fun. Leave your worries behind and come home to a happy critter!! Years of experience training, exercise, and a large area to run and play. I tend to spoil with love and treats. We go for walks. Byrd loves play dates. We cuddled at night- Experience with bathing and grooming. Great references and repeat clients says it all. Planned vacations or short notice- I’m usually available. I work from home so my dog Byrd gets to meet new friends. Byrd and I enjoy meeting new dog friends. It’s all about the balls and the backyard. I have years of experience and a great environment with a big fenced backyard with balks and toys and lots of comfy dog beds for a workout and relaxation.

About: My name is Amber, I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. From having puppies and kittens when I was young, to growing up and joining FFA in high school to show rabbits. I’ve owned several types of animals since graduating high school ranging from dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, geckos, chameleons, turtles, fish, and chinchillas. My love for animals shows through the care and support I’m able to provide for my own pets. I currently have 2 small dogs in my home. My best friend is 9 years old named Mia. Her little sister’s name is Zoey who just turned 1. I also have experience with a special needs dog who needed constant supervision. I grew up watching a lot of training videos on dogs and became informed on proper dog care and socialization. I hope one day to return to college to pursue my childhood dream of working in the veterinary field. I’m currently unemployed as I navigate my way to returning to school so this gives me all the time in the day to provide and care for your pet(s). I have a large fenced backyard to provide free play and running around. My dogs are friendly and excited to meet other dogs. I can provide a medium size crate for any crate trained pets. I always make sure my dogs have fresh water and a proper eating schedule. My home has plenty of dog toys, wet wipes for messes, and older family members who are also animal lovers. I can guarantee your dogs will be happy in my care while I ensure their safety and well being.

“AMAZING! My Hazel loved her right away and she was great all day no worries :) Kim is caring and loving with the cutest girl Daisy, Hazel will definitely miss them!”


About: Hi, my name is Josephine. A loving, stay at home mom of a beautiful baby girl and a newborn baby boy. I’ve had over 15 years experience with cats, dogs also bird with both personal pets and sitting for family or friends. Ive had experience working with animals volunteering at spca, the animal shelter and animal hospital. With my previous experience I know that most people need help with their pets with busy schedules. I’ve had experience with many different scenarios and know that with me your pet will be cared for whether with dog walking or enjoying your pets company during day care hours, I’m available all days of the week. Thank you for taking your time to read my bio, I look forward to taking care of your pet. Blessings.

About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs for over 11 years now. I have a 9 year old Poodle mix back at home and recently lost my beloved Yorkie of 14 years. I love animals so much but especially share a love for dogs and will be sure to treat your fur babies like my own. I know how hard it is to trust someone to leave your pets with, without having to worry if they’re being taken care of properly. This is why I will do my absolute best job in reassuring you that your pets are safe with me. To me, our pets are more like family and they deserve to be loved, cared for, and treated as such. I own a full service salon just behind my home and have the flexibility of being able to block off my schedule to accommodate your pet where I can work on afternoons with my clients and be with your fur baby’s during the day. They will never be alone as my partner also lives with me and he will take over when he gets home from work. It’s definitely a team effort that we truly enjoy. I just ask that your pet be picked up by 8:30pm latest and can be dropped off as early as 9am for day care days. I have a huge yard space where I can spend plenty of time playing with your fur baby and have a calm neighborhood where I can take them on morning and evening walks during the day! I am a freelance hair & makeup artist and dog sit on my free time! I love animals and will be sure to treat your babies like mine! I have a fenced yard and a small 2 year old Yorkie who is super friendly and would be happy to keep your pup company!

About: Before I opened my pet care facility I used to take care of hundreds of pets through rover. I'm excited to be back now and meet more fur friends! With over a hundred 5 star reviews on my old profile I was sad to leave it behind but now that I'm back I'm excited to get back to helping care for your fur babies! I have taken care of pets in all capacities! Grooming, training,boarding,daycare, you name it I've done it! I have and will continue to take care of your furry friends like they are my own! The pets have a schedule depending on if they are okay to play with other dogs. We start the day off with breakfast then they are out to play the whole day with a nap/ lunch between noon and 2pm. After a long day of play they eat dinner, have their last potty breaks then settle in their rooms where they are lulled to sleep by the TV. Their schedule of course depends on the owners requests for number of meals a day, what time they eat and their compatibility with other dogs. Thankfully the doggies that can't be with other dogs have their own area to roam and play! Pets sleep in door always and have access to ample outside time! They are able to play with dogs and people in a safe, temperature controlled and comfortable environment!

About: I have been taking care of my own pets and pets of friends and family for 20 years now. I do not have formal pet care training; however, I love being around my puppy and 2 cats, as well as any other pet. ♥️ I currently am not working, but am doing part time school, some of which has no scheduled times. So I have plenty of time to spend with your pups and kitties! I have a fenced in yard, but even when having pets back there, I will also be there to keep on an eye them, as well as I would if I’m caring for your pets in your own home.

“Estefany was very nice when receiving my very energetic baby. She send us picture and keep us updated on how he was doing and over all a great sitter. I would definitely be booking for future trips.”



“Our experience with Marcus was nothing short of stellar. Marcus saved the day by being available on short notice to watch Eve. He was quick to respond and was polite and attentive. My fiance dropped/picked up Eve, and she noted how happy Eve seemed after her visit. For me, this shows that she was well cared for and got lots of attention(which she loves). While caring for Eve, Marcus didn't hesitate to ask questions about any specific needs for Eve and provided regular pictures showing Eve having a good time. I would use Marcus again!”

“Kristal and her 2 pups watched our 5 month old mini goldendoodle on short notice. She always responded quickly, nice clean home, close to us, and seemed confident with having our pup. Her dogs are your, which we were wanting, since our dood loves to play. We were very happy with her care and hope they will welcome her back!”
