“Victoria sent us such cute pictures of our cats when they came for drop in visits. I always worry about our extremely social cats not getting enough love & attention while we are away. It was clear they went the extra mile to make sure all our cats’ needs were taken care of, not just food & litter.”

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.
About: I've had dogs in my life since my infancy and love dogs. I don't have a favorite breed since I think all dogs are special in their own right but I'm a big fan of chihuahuas and bulldogs. I am a freelance artist so I have plenty of time to devote to animal care. I am able to bring my setup for overnight stays so my schedule won't be impacted during pet care. I have a shared two bedroom apartment that is surrounded by plenty of grassy walking areas and a fenced in dog park, so if your pets stay with me, we'll have lots to do. I also don't mind traveling to or staying overnight at a client's house as I have my own vehicle and no other outside obligations.
“Amy was fantastic! She sent pictures of the cats and updated me regularly on them. Absolutely would recommend her for pet sitting and will book her again on my next trip. Nothing is better than having peace of mind that my pets are cared for when I'm out of town.”

We have a fantastic turf backyard (no muddy paws!) and live right next to local walking trails, ensuring your dog gets great exercise and stimulation.

About: Greetings! My name is Kay. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and even as a child, I knew I wanted to have a career based on that love. I grew up on Animal Planet, and spent my time studying everything about animals, from Herpetology, the study of reptiles and amphibians, to Cynology, the study of Canines. I’ve cared for pets for my entire life, and there was never a time when my home wasn’t filled with the sounds of birds chirping, Guinea Pigs squeaking, cats meowing, or dogs barking. From 0-8 legs, I’ve had them all, including mice, hamsters, various lizards and snakes, frogs, fish, turtles, and even insects. Out of everything that I have loved, no relationships have brought me greater joy than the ones I have fostered with my dogs, and so I have devoted my life to the care and study of the Canine, including aspects such as general health, nutrition, disease and illness, behavior, and obedience. As a professional Dog Trainer, I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of dogs, as well as people. I regularly train puppies, pure and mixed breed dogs, and seniors, and I have assisted people with house-training, training a deaf dog, dealing with behavior issues, trauma, and medical diagnoses. I have experience with hunting dogs, Guard/Patrol dogs, ESA’s, large and small breeds, and all ages, and I am looking forward to getting to know your dog too. My schedule varies depending on the needs of my clients, and I travel from Little Elm to McKinney to Trenton on a regular basis for training sessions, drop ins, or walks. Exercise is a big part of my daily routine, and I'm more than happy to bring your dog along for the run. There are many things that dogs need in order to be not only happy, but healthy as well. I believe proper animal husbandry requires a foundation of knowledge on aspects such as Animal Behavior, diet and nutrition, health, exercise, and general wellness. When I take care of a pet, I am taking care of more than just food and water. I regularly check my own dogs for parasites, both external and internal, perform basic procedures such as ear cleaning, tooth brushing, nail trimming, and scan them for medical issues. When I visit your house, I will keep my eyes open for parasites, injuries, behavioral issues, and potential environmental hazards, while feeding, watering, exercising, and playing with your dog. I think exercise and play time are huge factors in a dog's quality of life, and I will make it my mission to ensure that your dog gets plenty of both. As a professional Dog Trainer, I also believe a happy dog is a well trained dog, and I would be happy to offer any necessary training assistance or tips while I’m there!
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: 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.
