“We found Lisa when we were searching for a last minute substitute to our regular petsitter and from the beginning she was excellent! She was communicative and sent a lot of pictures so we knew our babies were doing well. She went out of her way to make sure our kitties were safe and cared for. We could not be more grateful!”
“Iysis provided drop-in care for our two cats and did a wonderful job keeping us updated while we were away. She sent photos and messages for every visit. I would definitely recommend Iysis and plan to use her again!”

“Nancy did a fantastic job of keeping me updated on my cats! She sent tons of photos, and went above and beyond by cleaning up things the cats had knocked over. Would highly recommend her!!”
“Iris was very attentive to our Kitty’s care. She provided great communication throughout the process and sent many photos of our cat and kittens while we were away! Would recommend to others and will request again when needed!”
“Logan is awesome, she was able to be booked on short notice and she definitely was a big help to me when I had to go out of town. She responds very quickly and always updated me on how my animals were doing. I will definitely book with her in the future. Thank you again for everything you do!”
“I was happy with our decision in choosing Pauline to take care of our 3 cats. She sent us updates and pictures of them and always checked in to see if we needed anything before she left. It’s hard having to leave your pets alone for a while but having her check in on them made me feel better about it all. I’ll definitely reach out to her again for next time :)”
“A star sitter for sure! Kristie took great care of my pup over a long weekend! She was a natural at bonding with my super shy puppy and was even willing and able to help train her. She kept good communications up for every visit so I had peace of mind that my dog was in good hands and administered her meds on the day she needed it. She brought over some good lookin cookie treats and gave my pup a new favorite toy! Kristie also took care of my chickens and I when I came home, my place was left in way better shape than I left it! She went above and beyond for sure and she was also super cool and fun to chat with! I will definitely call Kristie next time I need help with my pup!”

MY STORY: I’m an experienced dog walker and overnight sitter who you can trust to take amazing care of your dogs and cats. I began dog walking and pet sitting when I was 10, retaining many repeat clients and “adopted” many honorary pet siblings along the way. Additionally I began volunteering at my local ASPCA rescue, and learned invaluable lessons there. In college, I spent time working with the 4 Paws for Ability Organization; fostering puppies who were training to be Support Animals. This included full time care, and light training, in order to prepare them for their very important futures! I also spent a year after college working at a boarding stable for show horses, where I cared for and cleaned the stalls of over 30 horses daily. I take any (and all) opportunities to snuggle and go on adventures, hikes, and dog park dates, so your pup will never get bored. I’ve worked with 100’s of dogs of all temperaments, so nervous or shy rescue dogs are no problem. I’ve also worked at a holistic veterinarian office, so have experience with holistic medicine, calming techniques, physical therapy, injury rehabilitation, feeding, and administering medication. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, etc. I’ve cared for pets who are elderly or sick, reactive dogs and those who struggle with PTSD and severe anxiety, and pets with very specific routines; so integrating any specific request into a visit is no problem and your instructions will be followed with the utmost care.

About: I personally trained my own Puppy Snowflake, and in the process I got trained myself on how to train them. I love playing with them, spending time with them. I am currently not doing a typical 9 to 5 job and that gives me the flexibility to do what I love the most, which is spending time with pets. I would play with them, keep them active. Take them out for walks and feed them based on requirement. I will keep a constant watch to ensure they are safe.
About: Any breed any size is welcomed! Whether you’re looking for a safe place for your hairy child to stay while you’re out of town or you’re just looking to have a vacation from your fur baby, you’re always welcomed to board with me. Hello! My name is Frank Barcenas. I am 28 and live in an apartment located in Bayview, TX. I have 2 pets of my own 2 dogs that mean the world to me and are by my side every second of the day. Taking care of dogs is a passion more than anything. Interacting with different breeds and seeing their different personalities is very interesting to me. I have been experienced with caring for animals for 5+ years. I have taken care of animals ranging from reptiles all the way to donkeys and pigs. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters in the valley and have worked at multiple kennels aswell. I enjoy every second of caring for the animals making sure they’re in a safe and lovable environment as if they were at home. I am experienced in clipping nails, bathings, giving medication, giving shots, and general training. Boarding at my apartment, you can expect that your pups will be cared for and given lots of love and attention. One of the biggest problems dogs have are experiencing extreme anxiety when being separated from their normal routine. Having plenty of toys and multiple distractions at my apartment will ensure that your pet baby has a smooth and wonderful experience when boarding. When boarding with me you can expect multiple photos and videos of your pets daily while boarding. Work a 9-5 job. Pups would be inside during the hot hours of the day with my wife and will have small time outside during peak heat hours. In the afternoon when the heat is not bad they will be able to be outside 3+ hours I have a fenced yard. 24/7 supervision of the pups. Away from any high traffic roads. I have 2 pups who do well with other dogs
