“I had to find last minute help caring for my dog, despite the short notice, David was able to accommodate us! He was very responsive. I appreciated that he took the time to do a meet and greet prior to booking his services; he is extremely thorough and you can tell he is passionate about the care he gives. His detailed updates after each walk and accompanying photos eased my dog mom guilt over leaving my dog behind. Would highly recommend David!”
About: 🐾 Hello there! I'm Jiyoung. I go by Ji, Jo, Joelle. 🇺🇸Former USAF Security Forces member with a love for K9s. 🇰🇷 Originally from South Korea, I've lived in the East Coast (NJ/NYC/DC) and Houston before moving to Dallas for SMU. 💼 I juggle between running my small business in events marketing- Elpisphere, bootstrapping my pet treat startup called Aribaro, raising for my femtech startup-Juvno , and pursuing MBA studies at SMU. 🏃♀️ An avid walker and pilates student, I'm all about staying active and embracing new adventures. With a background in pet nutrition and raw food diets, I'm here to answer any questions you may have. ✨ From dogs, cats, ferrets, turtles, lizards, birds, rabbits, and fish, I've cared for them all, even pet-sitting for friends, family, and clients. 🐾 Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Let's chat and plan the best experience for your beloved companions. Can't wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐾 I work at home most of the time in Dallas if I don’t have class. I travel often but it is scheduled in advance so I block out in my calendar. I am an early riser, get up before 6am Monday-Friday and 8am on weekends. I live in a quiet, neighborhood community in Uptown near the Katy Trail. I communicate very well with my clients based on when I’m on the way, eta, and arrival.
“Matthew takes great care of my boy, Duke! He not only does the required potty breaks, but spends time playing with Duke as well. The gate even fell down once because Duke bumped it and he made sure to fix it before leaving. I’m thankful to have Matthew as a reliable sitter!”
“I was a bit hesitant to try this at first, but Edmanuel made the whole process so easy and helped me feel much better knowing my dog is in great hands. His communication is great, and I 100% recommend him to anyone!!!”
About: I have been a dog and cat owner my whole life. Now that I am mostly retired I am available to care for your babes when you are unable to. Your place or mine. I volunteer for dog and cat rescues so I have a lot of knowledge and experience. I am retired so I have lots of time to play. I walk in my neighborhood every morning and evening and would love to walk with a friend. I don't currently have any pets of my own so there will be no issues with unfriendly competition. I know how important communication is regarding your pets.
“Emma was wonderful! She was very sweet and personable when we met her, and Theo instantly loved her. She was so kind and attentive with him, and he came back from his walk completely tuckered out and happy. It was clear that she took great care of him and made the experience enjoyable. We are definitely planning to request Emma for future walks so Theo can get his energy out. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker!”
“Lisa is excellent! She shows a great amount of care towards our dogs and cat. She responds very quickly to any questions or inquiries. I would highly recommend Lisa!”
About: I provide loving, attentive care and treat every pet like family. I have experience with playful puppies who need gentle training and structure, as well as senior pets who need patience, comfort, and extra care. I’m attentive to routines, behavior changes, and safety, and I always keep pet parents updated. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time, but I’m available for evening care, weekend stays, and drop-in visits. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give pets focused, unrushed attention and stick closely to their normal routines. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I care for. In my home, pets have a secure, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and there are no other pets in the home, allowing for focused, stress-free care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all routines, instructions, and safety guidelines closely. I keep doors secured, monitor pets at all times, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and familiar. My goal is to create a safe, peaceful space where pets feel relaxed and well cared for.
“Katherine was great! She is very professional and the dogs took to her immediately. She showed up on time handled our 2 dogs really well (one of them can be a handful!). Would highly recommend her.”
About: Taken care of many of my friends dogs, I have even taken roadtrips with few to enjoy a long hike, fetch and a nice view with meal. Experience with miniature puddle, border collie, golden retriever to American Pit Bull Terrier. All pets are family all with different personalities that can brighten anyone’s day. I allow all dogs on furniture and follow all care needs to ensure excellent quality of care. I know some dogs need to be tucked in and get a kiss goodnight and some just need to make sure you sit down and eat with them 🫶 I currently work part time with free weekends can rearrange schedule for a set routine with advance notice of 20 days advance if needed during weekdays that I’m not normally available. I have a balcony that leads to fenced backyard free of clutter, my place is located near a park and a walking trail. The place gets deep cleaned disinfected and steamed cleaned to prevent any bacteria’s from spreading from breed to breed.
About: Your pet deserves more than a quick walk and a pat. As a full-time remote worker, I'm home all day which means belly rubs on demand, consistent feeding times, and a watchful eye from sun up to sun down. Having recently lost my 12 year old pup, I miss having a 4-legged co-worker sniffing around. My fenced in patio gives dogs off-leash freedom to run, sniff, and just be dogs. Small or large, young or old, every pup gets the same five-star treatment. Consider me your dog's new best friend! I work from home in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I'm used to taking regular potty and lunch time breaks during my work day with my own pup. I live in a small condo which includes a privately, fenced in patio area. I no longer have a pup at home, but do have lots of toys and blankets!
About: Hi! I’m Shawndreal, and I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for your pup while you’re away. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone new, so I keep you updated with photos, messages, and real-time check-ins throughout their stay. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels right at home. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior, comfort level, and routine to ensure an stress-free and enjoyable experience. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers to relax, I adjust to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. My home is a great space for dogs to feel comfortable, and I maintain a structured, calm environment for all pups in my care. ****Please note: I do ask that dogs are potty trained. Accidents can happen, but repeated accidents or damage to furniture or property may result in a small cleaning fee. There is also a pet spa located in my building, so if you’d like your dog to get a bath or grooming during their stay, that can easily be arranged—so they come home fresh and happy! I look forward to caring for your dog and building a trusted relationship with both you and your pet! 🐶 Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Your pup will get plenty of playtime, potty breaks, walks, cuddles, and consistent attention throughout their stay. Your fur baby will be treated like family in my home! I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with lots of supervision, structure, and love. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and crate preferences if needed. I send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting tons of tail-wagging attention.

About: I have cared for all kinds of animals. My family dog (a corgi) was with us for 16 lovely years and I cared for her into her senior age. I am experienced with dogs from puppies to seniors. This means I am very familiar with medicating animals and making sure they have what they need. I have three cats currently and love them so much. I have experience with birds, fish, rats, rabbits, snakes, and many more types of animals! I am a teacher so I have free time this summer and on the weekends to come care for your babies while you are working or on vacation! I can easily walk any dog or supervise outside time in the yard.

Lilivette always takes care of my 2 pups on a walk! One started limping after a running start, and she carried him back! My boy is 40 lbs+! I couldn’t thank Lilivette enough for notifying me right away and checking every bit of him. My little one also requires a little donut due to her hot spot, so Lilivette was diligent and put it back on her after the walk. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much, Eboni, for taking such good care of Teddy. He loves being with you, and was always at the door with a happy tail wag waiting for you. I was very impressed at how you were able to manage him, given that he's a big guy (85 lbs, will be two in a few weeks) and very friendly with other dogs and children. I was not surprised when you told me you wanted to base your career on working with dogs. You're a natural, and I'm sure you'll be a great success in that field. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Thank you!
Abbie is fantastic! I have two senior dogs, a German shepherd mix and a Chihuahua mix, both are challenging to walk and Abbie does a great job with both. The other day she helped me get one of my dogs to the vet who was feeling sick. Totally outside of what she is responsible for and I really appreciated the extra help.
Ashlyn was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was so sweet, reliable, and attentive to all of his needs. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. She kept me updated and made sure Benny was happy and well cared for the entire time. You can truly tell she loves animals! I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker/sitter!
Teddy, our almost two year, 85 lb old Goldendoodle adore Reid the moment he walked through our door. Teddy played with Reid and enjoyed pets and cuddles. He happily went out the door with Reid on the first walk as well as the second later in the early evening. Reid sent pictures and reported back that Teddy knew exactly what route to take, and that Teddy finished all of his business. Great peace of mind for me after coming home from surgery a few days ago. Thank you, Reid!
