“Laurie was amazing while watching my two dogs! She kept me updated and my dogs seemed so happy when I got home. My house was also spotless when I got back! Would definitely hire her again!”

About: I have 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets with genuine care and attention. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs. I'm also comfortable with cat/kitties, puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need a little extra TLC. Working remotely with flexible hours means I'm home most of the day, but have log certain hours at my office. so I can easily fit walks, playtime, and feeding around my own schedule without leaving a pet alone for long stretches I care for pets in the client's home, since I offer pet sitting and dog walking services. That way your pet stays in their own familiar environment, which keeps their routine and stress levels as normal as possible. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, and any special needs — and I'm happy to send updates and photos while you're away.
About: I have taken care of different types of dogs through out the past years. Small and large. Energetic and calm. Old and young. I’ve watch over Schnauzers, Australia Shepherds, French Bulldogs, Shiba Inu, Doberman and many mixes.. Needless to say I’m willing to watch any dog! I can also say there has never been any accidents that have occurred to a dog under my watch. I do not like having animals caged up for long so they will be free to roam when under my supervision. Furthermore, I love the outdoors so the doggos will have a nice pleasant walk with me visiting all the nearby parks when able. I also love cats so all of this applies to them as well. =) *Hablo Español* *Price is negotiable for stays longer than 14 days* I am a full time IT employee. Although during the week I will be out for 8-9 hours I do live close enough that I can drive to my apartment and give the dogs a potty break during my lunch break. I also have cameras at home so I will still be keeping an eye on them while I'm out! I am quite active so the dogs will always get plenty of exercise. If they can keep up that is. If you know your dog cannot be left alone without causing chaos I would appreciate if you bring their crate. **Please give me at least 1 week in advance for appointments. Although my schedule is often up to date. I too take vacations and have to go out of town on emergencies. Last minute request will be considered but likeliness is low. I am a true animal lover so I will put the pets wellbeing first. I do not plan on leaving animals in a crate for longer than a couple hours if necessary. I am an active person so long walks will be something the dogs will get. Unless they cannot keep up. I really like playing rope and catch with dogs so they will get plenty of play time. =)

She was very much at ease at our meet and greet and made our dog, cat, & us feel very comfortable. She kept me updated on how things were going while we were away. I never worried because I knew our pets and our home were in capable & trustworthy hands. She's definitely a keeper!”
About: I’ve been a dog mom for 7 years. I have 2 fur babies: Roxy and Daisy. I love dogs with every fiber of my being! My girls and I always do something together: we love walks, hikes in the nature and daily obedience training. I am also a very active individual so I can assure you that your fur baby will be exercised and mentally stimulated on my watch. I believe in the importance of mental enrichment as well as daily physical activity for all dogs no matter their age and breed. It’s important to meet your dog’s needs on a daily basis. My older dog Roxy is also a senior dog so I understand how vital it is to accommodate her needs while still ensuring she gets an adequate amount of activity and rest. I can teach your dog basic commands and fun tricks as well as do mental enrichment games and puzzles. I currently work part-time: I offer in-home personal chef services to clients all over DFW area.

“Wendy is great with our dog and cat! Her updates and pics help us relax and not worry about the house, dog and cat when we are on vacation. The house was cleaner than when we left.”
“I’d 100% recommend Leira! She was fantastic with our pups. Her updates and communications were on point. You can stay stress free with people like her taking care of your pups. Once again, she was another hero in disguise for us after our scheduled sitter canceled last minute due to a family emergency. Thank you Leira! 🙏🏼❤️”
“Alice was amazing! Her communication throughout the day was stellar, she was always swift to respond my texts and sent photos and videos at consistent morning, afternoon evening milestones. All those efforts really allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing my little one was in good hands. I will definitely be a regular.”
About: As a pet sitter, I bring a unique blend of compassion and experience to the table. My firsthand experience of adopting a stray cat and nursing her back to health has taught me the value of patience, understanding, and unwavering dedication. I am equipped with the skills to handle pets with varying temperaments and am well-versed in providing the love and care that they need. With me, you can trust that your furry companion is in the best hands possible. As a pet lover, I always make time for pet care in my daily and weekly routine. Although I work in the office three days a week, I am available for drop-in visits or house-sitting before and after work, as well as on the weekends. Whether you need me to feed your feral animal or simply provide some much-needed love and attention, I am more than happy to help. Rest assured that your pet will receive the care and attention they need, even when you're not around. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. In my home, I ensure that pets have access to a clean and comfortable living space, with plenty of toys and cozy beds to curl up in. I follow their feeding schedule and make sure they have fresh water available at all times. I also take them on walks and provide plenty of playtime and exercise. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow any specific instructions they provide regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. I make sure to maintain a clean and tidy living space for their pet, and provide regular updates to the client to give them peace of mind. I also ensure that their home is secure and that the pet is safe at all times. Ultimately, I treat all pets with love, care, and respect, and make sure they receive the attention and affection they need to feel happy and comfortable.

Grayson responded to my request quickly he was very responsive and planned a visit quickly. It was so convenient to have him in my neighborhood, and his rate was a very good one (so appreciative). I appreciate Grayson's attention to detail in taking care of my fur baby and friend. I would definitely book Grayson again!
A'Lauren did a fantastic job caring for Bodie and Peyton! She was very communicative, provided regular updates and photos, and it was clear she spent quality time with them. We felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We would absolutely book with A'Lauren again and highly recommend her to others.
Robbie was fantastic! Robbie was professional, punctual and very attentive to our three pups. Robbie went above and beyond with the pups by taking them on daily walks and playing with them every time he came over. I can’t recommend Robbie enough to care for you pups, he was trustworthy and communicated effectively while we were away on vacation. Thank you Robbie!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Murphy walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Murphy maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Murphy choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
