“Marta and Marshall were wonderful to communicate with and I completely trusted them to come into my home and take care of my boy. Rocky seemed to really enjoy their visits. I will definitely use them again in the future.”


“Hailey was a stellar sitter! She took care of my cat very well during my week away--I laid out my cat's wet food with bowls for each day (so they wouldn't need to be cleaned), but I came home to a stack of clean dishes! She kept on top of the litter box and cleaned up one of my cat's hairballs. She was accommodating for two last minute changes on my end, and was professional from the first message to her last day of sitting for me. I definetly recommend!”


“WE LOVE ANN!!! We had never used Rover before and she made it so easy to understand and helped with dates and times along the way. Ann gave us daily updates, spent the time requested with Samson and just made our vacation time worry free! We appreciate you Ann! Thank you!!”


“This was the second time we trusted our pets with Nichole. She was amazing again, her daily updates and photos are very detailed, she's always on time, and our dogs love her!”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own — with love, patience, and top-quality care. I’ve had my cat for over 8 years and my dog Daisy, who’s almost 2, is the heart of our home. She absolutely LOVES other dogs and makes the perfect playful companion for pups who enjoy socializing. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I’m home 90% of the time, so your pet will always have company, supervision, and plenty of attention. Pets in my care enjoy a calm, cozy environment with freedom to roam, play, lounge, and take bathroom breaks as often as needed. Whether they love belly rubs, playtime, or just relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I’m home the majority of the day and love having animals around. I start the morning with feedings, potty breaks, and playtime, and throughout the day, pets are free to lounge, explore, and get plenty of attention. Walks, litter checks, and cuddle breaks are spaced throughout the day, and I adjust my schedule based on each pet’s specific needs and routine. Your pet will never feel rushed or ignored — they’ll be part of the family while they’re here. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are treated like family and have the freedom to relax, play, and feel at ease in a clean, calm environment. I supervise all interactions and make sure each pet has a safe space to eat, rest, or have alone time if needed. I never leave pets unsupervised with others until I’m confident they’re comfortable together, and I always follow your care instructions closely — whether it's feeding, medications, or routines. Clean water, cozy bedding, regular litter or potty breaks, and lots of love are all part of the experience. You can trust that your pet will be safe, happy, and cared for like my own.

“Teresa was absolutely amazing. Espeically after my pup had an accident in his crate before she arrived and she took an hour of her time to clean it and clean him. I’m very appreciative. Very friendly and communicative as well! Will recommend her. :)”


About: Don't let my appearance fool you-animals have always loved me. In fact our mini Goldendoodle actually fell in love with me before she did with my wife! When I was 10, my grandparents moved out to the country. Our new house had a much bigger yard-big enough for a dog to run around in. So they got me a Golden Retriever named Sport that I would regularly play with. A few years later, we added a Jack Russell Terrier to the mix after Sport went to join the Police Force. I named our new dog Blake, after an inside joke from the Boy Scouts. Blake was very skittish. So much that the only person he felt safe around was me. Blake was a very special dog, and I was sad when we had to give him away when we moved. For a few months, I volunteered at the local SPCA, playing with the dogs in their runs. The time spent bonding with them was very enjoyable to me. In 2022, I got a job as a Kennel Technician which I held for 1.5 years before the economy got bad. I've worked with dogs of all different kinds of breeds, shapes, and sizes with Blue Heelers particularly being my favorite. I'm currently working part-time with ambitions to write my own novel. This leaves me with more than enough downtime to check in with/walk your dogs. I'm usually available Mondays and Tuesdays from 7am to 3pm with some variation depending on what my wife and I have going on. I will update my calendar ahead of time if anything comes up. I'm already in the habit of regular walks, given that our dog has nearly boundless energy. I'm also familiar with feeding regular meals and making playtime fun. Our dog never complains and practically begs me to play with her. I'm sure your dog will too.

About: Ever since I was a young child, I begged my parents for a dog. My wish finally came true when I was 12 and my mother brought home a 4 month old Terrier mix named Val. I was quick to pick up on how to feed Val, walk him, change his water, and play with him. Val was the best dog I ever had, and was the driving force behind my lifelong interest in our canine companions. I unfortunately lost him in 2018. In 2019, I took classes to become a CVA as well as becoming Fear Free Certified at the time. While I was never able to acquire any clinic experience, I did work as a Kennel Technician at a boarding facility for 2 years and loved every minute of it. I've interacted with and handled dogs of various breeds and sizes, even working my way to getting approved for our dog-aggressive and mildly food-aggressive guests. After getting laid off in early 2024, I was blessed with the opportunity to get my very own Golden Doodle puppy. She is a handful but utilizing my experience, I was able to train her myself. She's very good about minding her manners and I've gotten numerous compliments on how well trained she is! I currently work part-time and don't go out a lot, so I have plenty of time to take your dog for a walk or drop by to check in on them. My days of availability are usually Monday and Tuesday from 7am until 3pm, but that may vary depending on what life can throw at me. Any changes will be updated in my calendar. Please do give me at least a day's notice for bookings so I know what to expect. I have experience with feeding, walking, and doing play sessions with dogs. My dog requires a daily walk herself and always wants to play, so I'm very used to the needs of our beloved pets. I always make sure that the dog is having as good of a time as I am.

About: Hi everyone, my name is Kennedy! I was born and raised here in Dallas and just moved back to the area, so I'm excited to meet all of your fur babies in the area. My current work schedule is typically 8-3, so I'll have plenty of time in the weekday afternoons/evenings and on weekends to look after your pets. I have a fence in my home that I let pets out to, and a park nearby where I can take dogs on walks when needed.

About: I can offer dependable, loving care for your pet while you are away. I have experience with my own pets as well as taking care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I also have experience with rescue dogs in my home, although I am taking a break from rescues for the time being (it's so hard to let them go!) I am comfortable caring for pets with anxiety and medical needs such as medication, eye drops, ear drops, and medical crating. With a genuine passion for animals, i can offer care and attention while you are away. My schedule varies so reach out to let me know what you need. I am often available during the day, but early mornings, evenings, and nights are my most consistently available times. I am available to work weekdays, weekends, summers, and most holidays. I am currently not caring for pets in my home but I am happy to come to you for drop-in care, play time, medication management, and of course walks.

About: I will sit with your dog feed them and make sure that they have a good experience, I can’t wait to meet them! We’ll have fun I do volunteer work, but just let me know what days you need and what hours and I’ll make sure that it works, looking forward to meeting you and your pet I have a fenced in yard and no other pets, plenty of room to play inside and out! I also have balls and other toys. Be sure to bring your favorites if you need to.

About: I've worked on the rescue side of things for 7+ years and my household is responsible for over a dozen success foster to adoption stories. I have experience with all ranges of dogs from ones with behavior issues, to older dogs, to puppies, to dogs with medical and special needs. I also currently work full time at a veterinary clinic where I handle the boarding kennels for both dogs and cats. Animals are my passion so, I'll never pass up an opportunity to spend more time with these absolute cuties. I work fulltime, four days a week. My schedules are set a month in advance so, I'll easily be able to update my availability regularly. I'm able to do evening walks/check ins/overnight stays on the days I'm working but will have more availability on my off days and weekends. I prefer to keep pets in their own environments where they feel safe and comfortable, that way stress levels remain low. I'm happy to adminster meds, enjoy cuddle time, handle feeding, participate in play time, go for a walk, or handle any other special requests that would contribute to the dog's overall well being. I pride myself on my flexibility therefore, I'm happy to work through or around most issues. Pets are like family and I understand the importance of making sure they have the upmost care.

“Marissa is our go to cat sitter! Rover was intimidating with all the “dog people…” I wasn’t sure if we’d find someone happy to watch our cats! But, Marissa clearly cares for them. She takes the time not just to feed them and check on them but pet and play with them which gives me a lot of peace of mind when we’re out of town. 10/10 recommend!”


About: With three decades of hands-on experience as a dog owner and trainer, I provide patient, confident, and consistent care for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I specialize in leash training, crate training, and teaching essential commands such as sit, stay, heel, speak, quiet, up, and down. Whether you’re looking for a dependable walker or someone who understands dog behavior on a deeper level, your pup will be in calm, capable hands. I treat every dog like family. My background includes a BS in Neuroscience from the University of Texas at Dallas and three years of post-graduate medical education at UT Southwestern Medical Center. I’m an entrepreneur who works from home, which means I have an incredibly flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day.

When I’m with your dog, they have my full attention. My lifestyle gives me the freedom to adapt to your pup’s routine, not the other way around. I exclusively provide care in your home where your dog feels most comfortable and secure. My focus is on creating a calm, familiar environment by sticking to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your dog company, I make sure they feel safe, engaged, and relaxed. I’m detail-oriented, follow all care instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and notes so you’re never left guessing how your dog is doing.

Amalia D.
“Amalia took great care of our two dogs (full sized poodle and miniature poodle) while we were away. She fed them properly, took them for their walks, and made sure they were safe and happy the entire time. Will be a repeat client. The dogs loved her and happy to be around her.”

“Jane was awesome! She met our dogs the week before and took great care of them the week we were on our trip. She was on time every time for the multiple visits each day.”


James M.
“I'm not just putting in a good word for James because he's my husband. I've known James for almost 11 years and he has always been trustworthy, honest, and hardworking. He always liked dogs and I saw it through him working as a Kennel Technician as well as with our dog now. James is always willing to comfort her when she's getting her nails clipped and play with her when she jumps on his lap. He also kindly offered her water once after she chased a wasp and got stung after catching it in her mouth. I would highly recommend James.”


Leah M.
“Leah being my wife has nothing to do with what I'm about to pen here in this digital doggy landscape. She has always been in love with dogs, just as much the source of comfort for her through the trials of growing up in an unusually chaotic home environment as reading was for me. This has also led to her years of reading on them, and she used to say she didn't like reading! Her reading has led to her learning how to prepare homemade meals for our dog. When she worked as a Kennel Technician, I never saw her happier with any other job she ever had.”


Kennedy P.
“Kennedy is an amazing pet sitter. She actively engages with my fur baby, is prompt in arrival, and is always attentive to his needs. She is very friendly and personable and treats my little one as if he were her own.”


Christine L.

I’ve seen firsthand how calm and happy pets are around him. If you're looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for your furry family members, Moses is your person!”
