“Victoria did a great job looking after our reclusive cat. She sent us pictures each visit and whether or not she was able to see ( or hear) Blondie. I will definitely recommend her to others.”


“She is absolutely amazing and she takes such good care of my animals and she communicates and keeps me updated so well I really think my animal is progressing and being so wonderfully handled”


“Connor did a great job taking care of Moose. We had some cameras set up to keep an eye on Moose, and Connor was very helpful to set those cameras back up after Moose knocked them over each day 😸. It was clear that Moose was a lot happier after Connor came to check on him each day, and Connor took great pictures of our cat! I would definitely hire him again.”


“Mary is great!! She is the epitome of an animal lover and an overall amazing human being! Being new to the area we don’t have many options when it comes to leaving our dog Maxx with someone and since he’s not the friendliest with other dogs, it makes it rather difficult to board him. After reading several of Mary’s reviews, we knew she was the one for Maxx but didn’t know if she would be available with such late notice, especially since she also boards and was fully booked for the days we would be away. She not only made herself available but she also came by the day before just to meet him so that he was comfortable with her. He took to her instantly! The update pics that she would send also proved that Maxx was happy and being well taken care of. We are absolutely going to look to use Mary for all our future needs! Thanks for everything Mary!!”


“Genesis was a great pet sitter, taking wonderful care of both of our cats. She arrived on time and took care of all requested items. We will definitely be using her again! She's also great about sending videos and pictures and leaving a Rover card each day. Highly recommend.”


About: I have always had pets in my life since I was at a very young age. I recently moved to Princeton with my family and we are animal lovers all the way! I currently work from home, I and my wife also have a dog Luka who is 3 y/o and would love some company to play and exercise. We live on a nice apartment property, located super close to Carrollton Blue and Orange trails and outdoor. We always clean up and respect our four-legged friends. I have a very flexible job, that allows me to take many breaks during the day, allowing me to look after the doggies. I usually have smooth music for Luka while I'm on a call, but 80% of the time we just hang out until the next break to go out and walk around. On weekends we like going to the outdoors to get that extra excersice when needed. I take care with the basics needs first, always filtered water and safe to use toys, I like keeping them entertained with toys or a comfy sofa to lay down. I like taking them on walks nearby, as our apartment isn't fenced I like to keep him on a leash until we go to a park where they can run a little and stretch those legs.

“Samantha was AMAZING. She was punctual with feeding my needy, trash-talking cat and took time to give lots of love… did I mention my cat is super needy? Will definitely be utilizing Samantha again!”

“Haley was a great sitter for our pups! She took lots of pictures and sent helpful updates every visit. She was also very patient with our Great Dane puppy who is still learning her manners. Thank you Haley!”


About: I have watched several of my friends animals. My dog is a golden retriever and I also have a border aussie so walking a big dog should be no trouble for me. I’ve had pets my whole life and I plan on having more in the future!! Thank you in advance for letting me spend time with your animals!! I could possibly make evening times work depending on when and what times. I enjoy playing with animals so I am very excited to take care of some fur babies If your dog needs medication I am happy to give it to them, or if they need a little playtime I am happy to do that as well. Whatever your fur baby needs I have it covered!

About: I have been pet sitting at people's homes for over 8 years now. Also having a poodle growing up named Teddy. My care ranges from puppy stages to adult dogs that require extra attention do to aging such as medication and special care. I choose to go to the customers home since that is where the pets are most comfortable. I currently work during the day on weekdays in the banking industry, but will be home in mornings and evenings. I am comfortable with dogs sleeping with me or wherever they choose and feel most comfortable sleeping. I can send pictures daily as updates so your time apart from your pet goes smoothly. I look forward to hearing getting to know you and your dogs soon! I currently work full time 9-5 Monday through Friday. I'm available morning, nights, and weekends as needed. After work I will go and care for the pet(s) until the next morning when its time to return for work. Every pet is unique so I cater to how your pet will feel most comfortable. I will send pictures and updates as needed/wanted. I also only pet sit in your home, where I feel pets are most comfortable.

About: My services are a VIP/Concierge level of attention to deatail for my pets as well as yours. I'm retired so VIP petcare is my full-time focus. And, just like the businesses I've run, I dedicate a high level of attention and discipline to you and your pets. I love dogs and cats of all sizes but since I'm an athletic, 6'4" guy I have a special affinity for larger dogs when others may find them hard to handle. I've had dogs since I was 10 years old and have always loved having dogs in my life. All of my family and friends have me watch their dogs and cats when they're out of town because the level of care I give. My dogs Soba and Sasha love to go on all my adventures with me. We go on 2 daily hikes to stay active and agile. They especially love lake trips and playing in the snow on our Rocky Mountain adventures. All of our dogs are "inside dogs" with an affinity for all the outdoor fun and adventures. I think it's important, in the Texas heat, to have my dogs inside just chillin' out and resting up for the next outdoor experience. We keep them really comfy and pampered, just because I think dogs deserve an amazing life and because they return the love ten-fold. If you've got a medium or large dog breed I'd love to help out with any of their needs. I'm also great with small dog breeds so don't hesitate to reach out with any needs! Your pets will be treated like a part of the family! I don't board dogs who are food aggressive or display aggression toward other animals/humans. I will discern if your dog will be safe around my pets during a meet/greet after an initial phone interview. I don't take on just any pets or just any clients. I offer a very tailored service for pet parents who align with my level of care. My household and my services alike are a VIP/Concierge style with the utmost attention to deatail provided for my pets and yours. I'm currently retired at 47 years old so I have lots of time during the week to pet sit, house sit, hike and do other activities with your dogs. I take my dogs hiking every morning and every evening and yours are welcome to join or I could hike yours by themselves. I'm pretty flexible with all of the scheduling. Just reach out for customized support. I offer a VIP/Concierge petcare experience for others mainly because I already provide that for my animals. My pets are my children. I have 2 dogs (Soba and Sashs) and 3 cats (Cinco, Rumi and Jordie) and I love them like they're my kids. I have hand-made my dog's food for over 10 years but recently I've found Raised Right and Viva Raw foods are perfect for my dog's diets. I keep a Very clean house and tend to the animals with love and kindness and your animals will get the same level of love. I live on a 1 acre property and my dogs love to have the space to play. I believe in pampering my pets so they get lots of comfy places to rest, lots of toys to play with, loads of attention and love, and lots of outdoor stimulation with great attention to how hot it gets in Texas. We play it safe and don't get overheated.

A little more than a year ago Andee adopted the dog that she has now. She gave a home and everything a dog could ever want, plus more, to a puppy that had nothing and had been living on the streets. Andee is so sweet and loving and would been a perfect match to watch your pet children:)”


Sarah B.
“I had the pleasure of having Sarah care for my dog, Pickles, during my recent trip, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment I met Sarah, I could tell they were a true animal lover. They were friendly, professional, and very attentive to my dog's needs. Pickles is a bit nervous around new people, but Sarah was patient and took the time to build trust. They kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and even some extra cuddles. When I returned home, Pickles was happy, healthy, and content. I could tell that Sarah truly cares about the well-being of the pets they sit for, and I will definitely be booking them again in the future! I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy dog sitter! She's amazing!”
