About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for years, from total couch potatoes to high-energy working dogs. I’m comfortable with pretty much every part of pet care—from walks and feeding to cleaning up the less glamorous stuff, basic training, and plenty of cuddles. I’m dependable, pay attention to the little things, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most visits. Looking to work with you and your pets in the Wylie and surrounding areas! I treat all pets with the same respect and love that I do for my own. I know how important it is to have a trust worthy person entering your home and handling your pets. I treat my own as my children, and will do the same with yours. I have a soft spot for herding and working breeds!
About: First I would like to mention that I own a pup myself, her name is Honey and she’s 3 and a half years old! She gets along well with other pets and I am always contemplating if I should get a second dog. I love all pets no matter the size or breed. I often watch my friends’ dogs when they are out of town. I live in a great location where I can take them out to the trails across my apartment and everyday after work I take my dog to a nearby park to get her energy out! I also work from home and if I ever need to go into the office I am two minutes away! I have a work from home job! I only go into the office one week every month and I live 2 minutes away from my office that I would walk home and take the dogs out if I decide to take any jobs that in-office week. On a typical day I get up at 4 am and I’ll take the dogs out before I head to the gym and then again when I get back before I start my work. Though if there is a need for a dog to go outside I’m able to leave my desk at any time to take them out. I have a small fur baby who loves other dogs! I will also be home all day to care and play with your pet, we also have plenty of toys here.
About: I currently have 2 dogs - Morkies (Yorkies and Maltese mix). Pets have always been a part of my life. Family and friends tell me that I treat my dogs like they are people; I say that I just love them and they love me. You can be sure that I would love and care for your pets just as much. Please don't leave them home alone. Contact me and enjoy your time away from home - your pets will be in great hands with attentive care. My schedule is flexible which allows me the opportunity to be home during the day, and all nights. Please, no aggressive dogs. I will make sure that your dogs are comfortable and safe with me. I have an 8' fenced back yard, with security cameras. I enjoy being outside with your furbabies and will provide that extra level of security when they are running around in the backyard. I have hard floors for easy clean-up. I also provide extra blankets to keep your furbabies warm. I also have a separate eating area set up for your furbabies. I keep one extra crate, if needed when you bring your dog.
About: I have always had pets in my life. When I was growing up, we would often adopt dogs and cats needing a loving home into our family! I also grew up sharing my home with adopted rabbits, birds, hamsters, and fish. I am a 20 year veteran teacher and would love to spend some of my summer time helping you take care of your fur babies. I'm coming to the end of my school year and have late afternoons into evenings free during the week, as well as full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I can do earlier mornings during the week if needed, but only for drop ins for morning feedings. I have a senior dog and cat in my home, so I will only be offering services at client's homes. My services include walking your dog, playing catch, lap time with kitty cats, belly rubs and more! Although you will see photos of my family with our pets in my profile, I will be taking care of your pet(s) without any assistance from others, and would be the only one coming to your home to visit or stay with your pet.
“Alexis makes it so much easier to leave home without being anxious about my dog being properly taken care of. This is my second time booking with her, and she was very flexible with me on such a short notice. She is very timely and great at communicating. Highly recommend her!”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful to my 2 kitties. She sent me some amazing pictures of my girls while I was awhile which put my mind at ease. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Kiana was a great person to have come and check in on our cat. Her communication was excellent, the cat apparently loved her based on all of the photos she was able to take, and she went above and beyond by bringin in a large package that unexpectedly arrived while we were gone. We're thankful for her services and wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”
About: As a longtime dog owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. I especially enjoy working with active dogs who need more than a quick walk—I’m happy to provide longer walks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also an experienced educator, so patience, consistency, clear routines, and staying calm in unexpected situations come naturally to me. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs and will follow your routines and instructions carefully. Most importantly, I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I give my own dog. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have professional dog-walking experience and am comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and exercise needs. I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. As a dog owner myself, I’m accustomed to planning my day around walks, meals, exercise, and playtime, and I especially enjoy providing longer walks and outdoor time for active dogs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and secure. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any household rules. With my dog-walking experience, I’m attentive to leash safety, surroundings, weather, and each dog’s individual behavior and comfort level. I also provide updates so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Mike was awesome! I felt so comfortable leaving the pups in his care. Between a food crazed 16yr old Beagle and an extremely shy young rescue, Mike catered to both of their needs. He provided fun visit updates and really showed compassion for both dogs. He treated them as if they were his own Archie. We’ll definitely reach out to him for future dog visits. Thank you Mike for everything!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life never have I ever had a house without animals, they are just apart of my world. My grandma has a huge heart for animals just like me and she taught me everything to care for a fur baby. I can even say sometimes I my fur babies more than my boyfriend haha!! I’m currently working part time but I only usually work in the mornings and get off at 2pm so I would have a lot time to care for the fur babies. Make sure they are all cleaned up and nothing around the house that can cause them harm. They definitely will get all my love and affection. I will definitely regulate not letting them out my site and when taking them on walks make sure that lease is secure cause I have some big dogs and jeez they be pulling haha but good thang I get a nice strong lease.
“Tiffany took great care of our pets while we were gone. She even brought in packages while we were away. Our cats were happy to see us when we came home. She is professional and she knows how to take care of our fur family. Thank you Tiffany.”
“Jill has taken care of my crew for the last 2 years and they love when she visits. She treats my babies as if they are her own. I can take a trip and not worry that my pets are in good hands. Your crew will love Jill too.”
“Jenny has been amazing with our puppy! She was so patient with him when he was shy in the beginning and really helped build his confidence. She has also been extremely flexible and has great communication!”
About: I bring over 50 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, from tiny puppies and kittens to seniors with complex medical needs. I’m also the co-founder of a dog rescue foundation that has helped save and rehome more than 750 dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities—shy, anxious, reactive, playful, or special-needs. I have real-life experience caring for pets with heart, kidney, gallbladder and other chronic conditions, as well as pregnant moms and newborn litters. I’m confident with medications, special diets, post-surgery care, and monitoring warning signs that may require a vet visit. I’m patient, calm, and very observant, but also loving and fun. I adjust my style to each pet: gentle and slow for seniors or nervous pets, more active and playful for puppies and high-energy dogs. My goal is always the same: that your pet feels safe, understood, and truly cared for, not just “watched.” Pet care is at the center of my daily life. I currently work from my home office, which means I’m able to be with your pet day and night. I organize my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications or special routines your dog or cat may need. Because I’m at home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone, and I can give them frequent check-ins, cuddles, and supervision. Whether it’s a senior dog who needs calm, consistent care or an energetic pup who needs activity and attention, I’m able to adjust my day to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fenced patio where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time, and I combine that with regular walks based on their age, energy level, and any medical needs. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedule, medications, playtime, and quiet time—so they feel secure and at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and your rules. I carefully follow your instructions about feeding, walks, crate use (if any), furniture rules, and bedtime routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and condition, whether they need slow, gentle care or more active engagement. My priority is always safety, comfort, and calm, loving supervision, adapted to what your dog or cat needs.
About: I have grown up helping care for a variety of different animals, at different stages of life. I am also capable of administering prescription medications if needed, per experience I have taken care of dogs with special needs. There are so many stresses to tend to in a day, your pet getting proper care should not be one of them. In addition to providing pet care, I am a recently graduated art student who mainly works from home! If I am needed to stay overnight, I should be okay to do any of my freelance work so long as there is a stable internet connection :) I ensure that any and all instructions are followed to a T. I do my best to ensure that my presence in a clients home is neat, respectful, and intentional.
“She is legit the sweetest and most professional young lady. I had a dog sitter for the past 3 years but she moved to NYC. I contacted Jadah and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my sweet girl with her. I travel for work and she will be my absolute go to forever !!!”
About: With over two decades of experience raising and caring for mid to large breed dogs at every life stage, I bring real knowledge and genuine love for dogs to every booking. I’m looking for my next great adventure after 25 years in the corporate world. I am available most mornings and evenings so will have plenty of availability. I will ensure your pet is walked in a safe manner and will be mindful of our hot summer weather by walking in the mornings and evenings.

So my wife to be and I had a bit of a crazy request for Kimberly, which was come to our wedding venue and hang out with our fur babies. She accepted and what a perfect decision! She was so good with the pups, and by the end of the night both of the dogs were nestled up on her sleeping. She did an absolutely fantastic job and would recommend her to anyone. 10/10 service!

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
