“Elle did amazing with walking my puppy during the day while I was at work. She always let me know if there were any issues and the photos she got of my goofy dog were the highlight of my work days. I will absolutely use her again if I ever need to!”


About: With 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I bring a calm, confident, and loving presence to every pup I meet. I’ve fostered dogs for over two decades—helping dozens of dogs transition into happy homes—and have also managed a busy doggy daycare, where I oversaw playgroups, feeding schedules, behavior assessments, and lots of tail wags! As a proud dog mom of two fur babies myself, I treat every dog in my care like family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, snuggles while you’re away, or a safe space to stay, you can count on me to provide reliable, professional, and loving care—with plenty of updates and adorable pics along the way! 🐕💕 Hi, I’m Ashley! I’ve been caring for dogs for 20+ years through fostering, doggy daycare management, and raising my own pups. As a realtor, I work from home often, so your pet will have plenty of attention, snuggles, and supervision throughout the day! I treat every pet like family and always follow the owner’s instructions closely. I maintain a calm, secure environment and never leave pets unsupervised during visits or boarding. Clean, safe, and stress-free is my goal!

“I recently had the pleasure of having Mica take care of my dogs, From the start, Mica was professional, kind, and attentive to all of my dogs needs. It was evident that Mica has a genuine love for dogs and is very knowledgeable about their care. My dogs seemed to bond quickly with her and I could tell she was in great hands. I highly recommend Mica to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for any future pet sitting needs. Thank you, Mica, for providing such excellent care!”


“Mychelle is amazing! Her services consistently give us peace of mind that our fur babies are taken care of on days when we are gone all day! She always gives full details regarding her visits & the dogs are always happy to see her!”


About: With 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I bring a level of expertise to pet care that's hard to find. My entire life has been devoted to the well-being of animals—from dogs and cats to horses, goats, chickens, and reptiles. This isn't just a side gig for me; it's a continuation of my professional career. When it comes to dogs, I understand their unique needs, from energetic puppies to seniors who need gentle care. I can handle any personality with confidence, providing the right amount of physical and mental stimulation. For cats, my care is truly specialized. As a Cat Friendly Certified professional, I'm uniquely skilled in creating a stress-free environment for your feline companion, respecting their space and understanding their unique communication. My skills in administering medications, managing special diets, and recognizing potential health issues mean you can have total peace of mind. You're not just hiring a pet sitter; you're getting a dedicated professional who understands how to keep your beloved family member safe, happy, and healthy. I work as a vet tech on a set, three-day schedule. This predictability is a huge benefit, as it allows me to block out my other four days specifically for my pet-sitting clients. My routine is carefully planned around your pet's needs. I offer both in-home care and boarding to best fit your pet's needs. In Your Home: My goal is to maintain your pet's routine and comfort in their familiar environment. I work closely with you to understand your pet's specific needs, from feeding schedules to walk routes. I am highly vigilant about home security and your pet's safety, ensuring doors are locked and all protocols are followed precisely. In My Home: My home is a safe, clean, and welcoming space with a fully fenced yard. When pets stay with me, they become part of our family. I am dedicated to providing a secure and fun environment with plenty of supervised playtime and attention.


About: I've owned dogs all my life. A home is not a home if you don't have paw pals. If I care for your baby I will take care of him as if he were mine. They will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch. I also have a fenced yard so they will be safe and well taken care of. Your pet will not be bored. I have one dog myself and she is solid rotten. I do work but, I do 3 days on 4 days off. My son is home during the day, and he's off on weekends. He loves to play with the dogs, and he also helps walk the dogs when needed. 😍 Your baby will go for walks everyday. We will play fetch.

“George walked my dog Bella for a couple of weeks as I recovered from surgery. I am so thankful to have found someone so kind and punctual to help care for her! Most importantly, I felt that he genuinely cared about my pup. I would recommend him to anyone, and we look forward to using George's services again in the future!”

About: Since I was young I have LOVED dogs- my sister once said I started asking for a dog as soon as I learned to speak. I pet sat frequently when I was younger to fill that desire to be around animals. Finally, I got a dog, and after an amazing 15 years with her I’m back looking to care for other people’s pets as my own while they’re away. I have the patience and care needed to comfort animals in an unfamiliar situation while their family is out. I love to take photos of animals I’m watching so you know they’re happy and healthy and having as good of a time as you are! UPDATED INFORMATION: After a couple of years of watching Rovers, I fell in love with a little pup at the SPCA and now have a dog of our own in the house! He is incredibly friendly, fixed, and fully vaccinated. His SPCA paperwork described him as “the friendliest little boy,” and it is so true!! I currently work from home, so any boarding at our home will be round the clock attention for your pet! Otherwise, I can easily travel mid-day for potty breaks and walks. Your animal would have free range of our home, or we would be happy to crate them if provided with their own crate (your preference). We have a small yard for potty breaks, and we also back up to a walking trail that’s perfect for mid-day walks!! Since I work from home I’m available to take them out as often as needed and am free for mid-day walks with them as well.

About: Hey, I’m Marv! I’ve raised puppies, cared for seniors, handled meds, and reinforced training—because I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I rescued my first at 19 and never looked back. What sets me apart? Real experience, a calm and confident approach, and a fenced yard built for play. Whether your pup needs energy burned or meds on time, they’re in good hands here. Let me know their quirks—I’ve probably seen it (and loved it) before. Pet care is already part of my everyday rhythm. I have two dogs of my own, Because I’ve intentionally created a lifestyle that allows me to be home, your dog will never be left alone or unattended. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or just keeping your pup company, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. Looking forward to welcoming your dog into a calm, caring home environment! When caring for pets in my home, comfort and safety come first. I’ve got a spacious, dog-proof living room that can be sectioned off with a pen for curious pups or those still learning boundaries. There’s plenty of room for extra crates, quiet corners and extra pet beds for naps— a calm, pet-focused space where dogs can relax or play without worry. In your home, I follow your pup’s routine to a tee—meals, walks, meds, crate time, whatever they’re used to. I make sure they’re comfortable in their own space and keep things consistent so they feel right at home (even when you’re not).

About: My journey with animals started when I was a kid; I remember my very first dog. He was a lab mix, and his name was Dopey. He was indeed dopey, and I loved him more for it. From the moment I met him, I knew I wanted to always be around animals. My professional career began in 2019 as a bather at a common Petstore. I worked there for a few months before deciding I wanted a more personal environment to care for the animals and get quality time with them, so I left corporate to work for mom and pop grooming salons, daycares and boarding facilities. To gain more knowledge to help care for the animals, I attended Animal Behavior College in Vet Assistance and obtained my Animal CPR certification. With that in hand, I decided to work in a vet office to help further educatemyself for the animals. While working at a Vet Office, I became a Lead Bather and quickly gravitated toward special needs, aggressive and elderly pups. I currently work at a mom and pop grooming Salon in Allen, Tx. I'm working part-time at a grooming salon, so I have plenty of availability to work with. I have early morning availability for walks and home visits and availability after 3:30pm. I have 2 furniture kennels and a pop up kennel. I have multiple running water fountains through my home. I have two dogs of my own, who are walked 4 to 5 times a day. We tend to do short walks in grass during the heated afternoons.

About: I have 8 years of experience in routine, emergency and specialty internal veterinary medicine. I can help with Boarding, day care, drop-in visits , walks, in home pet sitting. I have an amazing experienced kennel tech on site. I also provide services and care for special need babies additional rates do apply. I am absolutely excited and look forward to caring for your fur babies! I’m currently working hybrid remote so I will have plenty of time to play with your fur baby. I am available weekends and weekdays. Tuesdays are the only days I am available before 8am and after 4pm. I have a large fenced yard and live on half an acre. I have a couple of friendly dogs/fosters to keep your fur baby company. I can also easily and safely crate your fur baby for their safety, this is a requirement.

About: I've always loved animals and enjoyed interacting with them. Your pets will be in good hands! We're gonna have a great time and they will be well taken care of. Ohana means family! Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten! 🤞🏽 I'm a teacher so I'm off for the summer as of right now. A lot of free time to assist in care for those in need!

I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding on schedule, giving plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. I keep their space clean, safe, and stress-free, just like home.

About: I have been in the veterinary field since 2021. You can say I’m very well trained! Haha. I actually train on the side with a pal of mine we worked for petco and he was the dog trainer and taught me everything I know! (Akc certified training) Do not be afraid to ask me questions! On my free time I love to walk pets including my own! Life can get very busy and I understand not everyone can have a spare moment to walk their fur babies for as long as they want. I am not offering at home services as I feel that your fur babies will do best in their own known environment, I will ensure they are as comfortable as can be starting with their surroundings! Big or small your babies will be in great hands.

“Cristina has come to the rescue for me again! This week with my schedule was very hectic, she fit Lily in for afternoon walks, which is truly a huge help during my work day. She is always on time, Lily is ecstatic to see her when she pulls in (very good sign), and when she brings Lily home she gives me an update. I cannot recommend Cristina enough, she is incredibly reliable!”

“Finding a pet sitter who is comfortable and experienced with administering insulin injections was a huge concern for us. Valerie put our minds at ease from the moment we met. She was calm, confident, and took the time to learn our cat Leo's specific routine and needs. The detailed updates we received, including times of his insulin shots and how he was doing, were so reassuring. We trusted Valerie completely with Leo's health and well-being, and they exceeded all of our expectations.”

“Marvin has watched my dogs more times than I can count, and they absolutely love him. He’s calm, reliable, and treats both my pups like his own. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving meds, or just making sure they get plenty of play and attention. I always feel at ease knowing my dogs are with someone who genuinely cares. Marvin is one of the few people my older dog instantly connected with. Within minutes of them meeting, she was curled up next to him like they’d known each other for years. He’s incredibly gentle, patient, and completely in tune with my dog's needs. Whether it’s sticking to her routine or just giving her the affection she craves,”

Alex took care of Shines every need as well as caring for the 2 cats. Brilliant!”
