“We're so grateful to have had Piper as our pet sitter while we were away on vacation. She took amazing care of our cats, providing them with love, attention, and a comfortable environment. Piper was reliable, trustworthy, and communicated with us regularly to keep us updated on our fur babies' well-being. We highly recommend Piper to anyone in need of a wonderful pet sitter - our cats are already looking forward to her next visit!”
“Alicia was a wonderful sitter! We booked her last minute and she was so kind to come meet the pups and us the day before. She spent plenty of time at our house with our 2 dogs and cat. They were very loved and taken care of and it was easy to see in the frequent pictures and updates she sent! Highly recommend Alicia and will be using her again.”
“Roxanne was amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and with leaving our pup with someone other than family. Roxanne was so kind, provided updates without being asked and treated our dog like her own. 10/10 recommend!”
“Hannah did a fantastic job watching my dog and cat and house sitting for two nights. She was very conscientious of my pets’ needs and took great care of them. I will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her.”
About: I raised my own furbaby for almost 11 years and I petsit all my family members' animals (including chickens, guinea pigs, and even a horse). As a teenager I was the go-to pet walker and sitter for the neighborhood and I am quite talented at "convincing" pets to take their meds. I also have lots of experience with puppy pads and cleaning "messes". We just moved to FW and I plan on working part time substitute teaching while I work on updating my teaching and music therapy credentials. I'll have plenty of time (and probably energy) to come ensure your pets are staying healthy and loved. I like to keep my eyes on them as much as humanly possible, especially if they're codependent, baby/elderly, or with medical concerns. That water bowl stays full! Exercise, play, and snuggles are highly recommended. I also own a pet stroller for anyone that wants their pet "walked" without them having to actually be on the ground.
“Mikayla was INCREDIBLE!!! She came last minute to watch our fur babies, and she really have us a peace of mind to go out! Really thankful for her!!! Will definitely be our babysitter we reach out to when we need a sitter!!! Thank you again, Mikayla!!!”
“Brian was wonderful. He was timely, early even and understanding of Diamond needing extra care. He followed my instructions and was attentive to her. So grateful I found him, he gave me peace of mind for the day.”

“Raisa is the animal whisperer. Our rescue dog and our cats loved her. She took great care of our house (and animals) and went above and beyond of what we asked of her. ?”
About: I am compassionate for every animal's health and happiness. Skilled in medical administration to young and senior pets. I treat every pet like my own. I have a part time job so I am able to visit once to twice a day to care for any pet on a work day. I am freely available on non-working days. I play with them using their toys, feed them on their normal schedule, provide affection, keep their area clean on a daily basis, and maintain their physical fitness with plenty of walking activities.
“Chloe was great this weekend with 4th of July. Our puppy requires medications daily for anxiety and extra during the 4th because he gets scared. She helped keep him calm and gave him what he needed. She stayed at our house all weekend. She is very neat and clean also. Thanks Chloe!”
“Tyler is wonderful! He’s extremely trustworthy and great with my older dog. He makes sure the house is as clean if not cleaner for us when we get home and he’s extremely flexible and communicative.”
“Kelsi was amazing with our little pups. She did a great job communicating and kept us updated while we were away, even sending great pictures for us to enjoy. She was sooo sweet with our pups and we could not have asked for more. Would not hesitate at all using her again!”
“This is the 2nd time Abigail sat for Minnie, and like the 1st time she was outstanding. Minnie was excited to see Abigail and everything went great. It was so nice knowing Abigail was with Minnie, allowing us to enjoy a movie and dinner. We'll continue to ask Abigail to sit for Minnie in the future.”
“Hailey did a great job looking after our 3 pups. She was great with communication, followed the instructions for our dog’s routine and updated us with pics of our girls. We were very pleased!”

Meagan C.
“I have known Meagan for 29 years. She helped us train our dog and sat for our dog and cat many times throughout the years. She loves walking and playing with our dog, and our dog squeals with joy every time she comes to visit. When Meagan was a teen, she was a favorite of her neighbor to repeatedly sit for their cat, dog and iguanas. One time her dog, Chloe, had knee surgery. She was very patient with Chloe's recovery and even got a dog stroller to take he for walks in the neighborhood so she wouldn't miss out on her outside time. As Chloe got older she was very careful to follow medication regimen's outlined by her vet. I enthusiastically recommend Meagan for your pet caregiver service.”

“Megan has house sat and watched our two dogs on multiple occasions and has always done an awesome job. She has a true love for animals and I am pretty sure our dogs love her more than us and get sad when she has to leave. She always has left our home spotless and I just overall highly recommend her. She is punctual and always makes sure to send updates and keeps us up to date on our fur babies. If you decide to hire her, I can assure you that your pets will be left in the best of hands.
