About: i've been taking care of fur babies since i was young. Anytime, neighbors, family, and friends needed help caring for their pets, I was there! I will care for your babies as if they're my own. Pet Sitting/Care is currently my full-time job. I'm always accepting new house sits and drops ins, l make sure to update my calendar every couple of days. I do like to do meet & greets before any new sits/drop ins, even if it's just a quick video chat. I don't currently offer boarding services but If i did, I would make sure to your pet is as comfortable as possible in my home. In clients homes, I will play with your pets, and take them on as many walks as needed for them to burn off energy. I will feed on time and keep your pets schedule as normal as possible.

“Wendy is amazing! She put in so much care and hard work for my fur babies! She has great communication and is so kind l. I would highly recommend her!”

“John and Becky were wonderful and who I will ask for every time. They came over and met our two dogs and we knew right away they were dog people! They visited and loved on our dogs while we were gone and sent pictures. We felt completely comfortable leaving our babies in their hands and I highly recommend them!”

“Thanks for taking care of my girl! She seemed very happy when I got back today!”

About: Dogs have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember, from the family pets I grew up with, to raising kids who always had four-legged companions by their side. Now that my nest is empty, my love for animals hasn't gone anywhere. If anything, it's only grown. My Lab, Buck, is proof of that - I can't imagine a single day without him. I know firsthand how much pets mean to a family. They're not "just dogs" ... they're members of the household, and they deserve to be treated that way. When you trust me with your pet, you're handing them off to someone who genuinely lights up around animals, has decades of real-life experience caring for them, and has the time and flexibility to give them undivided attention every single day. As a work-from-home empty nester, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the attention and companionship they deserve throughout the entire day. I'm not rushing out the door in the morning or counting down the hours until I get home — I'm here, present, and available. Whether it's a midday walk, a play session, or just some good old-fashioned company on the couch, your pet won't be left waiting or wondering where everyone went. I prefer to come to your home so your pet stays in the environment they know and love — same smells, same routine, same comfort. I believe pets are happiest when their world isn't disrupted, and that peace of mind extends to you as the owner too. That said, if you ever need in-home care at my place, your fur baby will have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to stretch their legs and burn some energy. Given the Texas heat, we keep things smart... outdoor time during the cooler parts of the day, and plenty of indoor fun with toys to keep them active, stimulated, and happy the rest of the time.

About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for dogs belonging to my family, friends, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and even multiple dogs at the same time. Every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. I know being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I always take a calm, patient, and gentle approach to help them feel safe and loved. My goal is to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away. I also believe pets need a healthy balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing with toys, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I’ll make sure they have a fun, safe, and comfortable experience. I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention. As a recent college graduate who still works on campus, caring for my cat is already part of my daily routine. Every day I make sure she has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also spend time making sure she’s happy, comfortable, and getting the care she needs. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, it’s easy for me to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to other pets as if they were my own. It would be good to know if there is anything that scares your pets, certain sounds, movements, etc. It would also be nice to know of any commands/training tactics that I should be using while caring for your pet.

“Amy really loves on our dogs like they are her own. If they’re happy when we’re gone we know that we can relax while on a vacation. She’s close by and that is a huge plus as well!”

“Hannah made me feel so safe leaving our puppies during a really hard time in our lives. We were in the process of moving but had to be at a wedding. Our dogs were freaked out about the total lack of anything in our house & then their parents left of top of that??? Hannah swooped in and ensured that with each visit she sent incredibly detailed information about their activities, what she did to take care of them & at least 4 pictures :) what a relief. I could not recommend Hannah highly enough. 5 stars seems too few ❤️”

“I’m new to the area and I’m so glad I found Savannah! She did a great job taking care of my dog Daisy and Daisy just loves her. I’ll definitely use her in the future.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have also sat pets for many years for my friends and neighbors. I have worked as a dog bather so I have experience handling dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I am also willing to bathe, brush, shave paw pads and mats for your dog, the rate is under drop in visits but that is for everything I just listed if you just need one service we can talk about that 😁 (rate will also change depending on the size of the dog). I volunteer at animal rescues so I am very familiar with rescue animals and accommodations they may need. I love any and all animals. I recently started working with cats at my rescue and am willing to learn more about them. I am recently home from college for the summer. I am available all day everyday for drop-ins, house sitting, walks, and basic grooming services. When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow their normal routine as consistently as possible. I make sure they have water, food on time, bathroom breaks, playtime/exercise, and lots of love. For walks I pay attention to how the dog behaves and set my pace, energy, and length of walk to best fit them. For drop-ins and house sitting I make sure the pet gets playtime, basic care, and companionship based on their routine. I have experience with everyday pet care and have also bathed dogs I have cared for when needed. I aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owner is away.

“This is my second time using Chelsea and I will absolutely use her again! 🩷🩷🩷 I had a very minute request and I am so thankful she was able to come!”

“Emma was awesome thank you for the great work and I appreciate all the help being gave and watching our two troublemakers. I highly recommend Emma.”

Michael J.

“Jackson is one of the most excellent sitters in the area. He is super communicative, accommodating of last minute changes, timely, and most importantly, gentle and kind with our Cléo. We had a big chaotic event going on that pulled our attention and focus elsewhere, and we felt very confident and reassured leaving Cléo with him because of his ability to adapt and problem solve if needed while we would be managing other things. Thank you for your grace and patience Jackson!! Cléo and our family appreciate you greatly! 🥰”

“Miranda took the best care of our senior pup during drop ins! Well cared for, pictures detailing everything, everything we asked for. Will rebook and highly recommend!”

Bridget W.

“Heather was so amazing with our cat! She sent us pictures and updates with every visit and I was able to enjoy our trip knowing Pounce was well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with her again :)”

Caitlyn C.

“Samantha was amazing! She agreed to drop in visits for our two dogs, THE DAY OF, when another sitter fell through. She was attentive, provided details of every visit, and even brought in our mail unsolicited. I can't recommend her highly enough!”

About: Hi there! I have lots of experience caring for pets ranging from my own pets to shadowing at veterinary clinics in the DFW area. I am happy to help with walks and check-ins, and I am comfortable working with any breed or species. I have cared for a wide variety of dogs, elderly and young, and can accommodate special needs. For walks I work with owners to establish the safest route according to their pups needs in! For check-ins I can do feedings, administer meds, and play with your pup to make sure they’re happy while you’re away. I currently work full time Monday through Thursday. I can fit in walks and check-ins before and after work on those days, but Friday-Sunday I generally have an open availability for any help you might need. Each animal is different and requires their own unique approach. I try to respect this when establishing a relationship with both owner and pet. For walks and check-ins, I will work with you to make sure I can properly care for your animal! If you are considering boarding please be aware I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own and we will need to heavily discuss if everyone can blend together safely!
