About: I’ve grown up with pets of my own and helped my mother with her dog business. By taking care of them, playing with them and bathing them. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup. I’m available any day of the week, I just need about 1 day advance notice. I have a massive fenced backyard. About 1/2 acre for your dog to run and play. I also have kids that adore dogs and would make them feel very loved! I have the room to crate them overnight.

About: I have always loved animals and they have been apart of my life ever since I was a child. I cherish each and every animal I come into contact with. I currently have two dogs, a siberian husky and a Louisiana catahoulla. I have also taken care of cats in my life as an adult and child. In my household my two dogs are cage free. They were caged as puppies to get them into a household environment. I can easily adapt to any situation that arises for the animal in question.

About: I have always lived my life with animals around me! Growing up, and while raising my kids I’ve always lived with multiple animals at a time. Now, I have found a FUR-ever doggy soulmate in my golden-doodle dog, Ranger, who has given me a new perspective of doggy care! I’m very flexible with my hours and schedule when it comes to pet care! I try my best to make time for things I love! I treat animals with the utmost respect and care, always keeping in mind that I’m helping take care of someone else’s fur-bestie. I know from experience!

About: As a full-time remote worker, I’m home all day to provide dedicated, around-the-clock care for your furry family member. From frequent potty breaks to personalized attention, your pup’s needs are always my priority. My fully fenced backyard is both small-dog proof and big-dog friendly, giving your pet a safe, secure space to play and explore. Whether they love sunbathing, sniffing around, or doing zoomies, they’ll feel right at home here. I share my home with my easygoing Mini Aussie, who’s gentle and friendly with other dogs. If you prefer a solo environment for your pup, I’m happy to separate them as needed. I’m all about being flexible and making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and relaxed. I also welcome seniors and puppies with open arms. I can accommodate special diets or soft food needs—just let me know! For young pups, I’ve got a secure gated play area for naps, playtime, and safe exploration. You’ll receive regular photo updates throughout the day, so you can stay connected and reassured that your dog is in great hands. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. 🐶💛 Pet care is seamlessly woven into my daily routine since I work from home, allowing me to provide consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and engaging environment with regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles, always tailored to your pet’s specific needs and routine.

“Savannah took amazing care of my trouble maker boxer. She went out of her way to celebrate his birthday since I couldn’t be there. Brought him a treat and a toy. Do me a favor and hire her! She’s amazing! 🫶🏽”


About: We grew up with dogs, playing with them, petting and feeding them. As we raised our three children, we had two basset hound mix dogs and a little shih tzu that we all loved, played with and took care of. Then, when all our children grew up and left our home we were given a little six week old white poodle that needed a loving home. Charlie Brown was curious and energetic and became such a loving friend and companion! After 17 years he passed away of old age and our hearts were broken and we thought we would not get another dog. But, a couple of years later, we went to the rescue facility and met Daisy. She was a pitiful little 6 lb. Maltese that needed lots of tender loving care. Her coat was extremely matted and her tender skin was badly inflamed and she was frightened as she listened to all the big dogs barking all around her. We took her home and we tenderly cared for her, loved and cherished her back to good health. For a few years, she was well and happy, but, as she aged, she had some very serious health problems and several surgeries were required. After what seemed a too short seven years, she passed away. We're not planning to get another fur baby, even though we still enjoy being around them. So, we'd love to sit with yours! We're retired from our jobs of library management (Becky) and machinist (John) . We don't have any childcare responsibilities since our children and grandchildren are all responsible adults. We can serve fur babies and parents in the Krum, TX area when they need drop in visits for fur babies they had to leave at home. For our in home sitting, one of us will be home with them most of the time. Our available days/ times will be available here on our page. On Sundays, we attend church in the morning and in the evening, so pups would have to be kenneled during that time. Our Daycare is opened 7am-8pm to accommodate various schedules, but your pet should only be with us 10 hours or less per day We only sit small dogs (husband is allergic to cats). Dogs must be up to date on shots, healthy and potty trained. For overnight stays or Sundays in our home, dogs must be kennel trained. Our backyard is secure with a 6' privacy fence for them to romp and play in. Our home is an uncluttered, safe environment for your fur baby.

“Lisa has been absolutely amazing and a very great help! She is very good with my high energy dog and my kitty. She is very punctual and thourough and will take great care of your pets. I would highly recommend!”

We have one Aussie who is high energy and has lots of special instructions, such as a certain gentle lead harness, things to avoid outside, and other triggers. It was a lot of information to handle but Tim did it with ease. Really gave us peace of mind that someone cared enough to pay attention to every detail we threw at them.
