“Martie is great - she is extremely accommodating, updates and photos everyday of my dog and very attentive and responsible. It takes a log of trust for me to leave my dog with someone, so it is much appreciated. Thank you so much, we will def be doing this again for our next trip.”

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of my boy! Alina was so welcoming during both extended boarding stays and loved that she had other dogs to play with and make friends. He loved playing in her yard because Alina actively invented ways of entertaining him. Thank you for sending pictures and daily updates, it gave my peace during my trip. He looked very comfortable and happy! Thanks again Alina!”

“Jessica was a great and accommodating host as we were in a rush to drop our dogs off on way to the airport and kind enough to allow a late night pick up when our return flight got in late. Our dogs seemed like they were happy and we will use her again! 🐾”

“Great sitter! My dog was so happy after staying with Iysis. She was easy to get in touch with and I really appreciated the photo updates. I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

“Gabriela was so great with my doggy Bea! She stayed with her for a few days and Gabriela did a great job of sending updates and pictures/videos. Bea had so much fun with her and was even crying after I picked her up because she wanted to stay and play some more! I definitely recommend her and I would absolutely rebook her 🤗🤗”

“Aron was great!!!! My girl Mona was well taken care of. Aron sent various pictures and I loved that he walked her during her stay. Five stars and would definitely book with him again.”


“I was very nervous about leaving my 2 small rescue dogs who are very attached to me. But Alicia made me feel very confident with her kindness and love for her own animals. My dogs did fine, she sent me photos of them, and I was able to enjoy my trip away knowing they were in good hands!”

“THEY WERE SO AMAZING. Sent lot's of updates, photos, and videos. Even accommodated the fact that my flight was delayed causing me to miss my connection and was stuck in ATL overnight. Their dog is so playful and friendly which made my dog have the time of his life. They took amazing care of my dog and provided him with all his vitamins and any of his special needs were well monitored.”

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
“He was AMAZIMG, I had a couple of inconveniences, and he was able to accommodate my babies. Thank you so much for keeping me posted, sending me pictures, and taking great care of my dogs. They had a blast playing with your babies and getting some walks and sun!!! Best dog sitter ever!!!!”

“We took a trip to South Padre Island and stayed at a condo that wasn’t pet friendly, so we found Alexis. She was great with our Bo. She sent daily pics of Bo, good mornings and good nights. We felt so comfortable because from the moment we were matched with her it was constant communication. The dropping off and picking up was quick and smooth. This was the first time Bo was left with a total stranger and he did very good, so that says a lot about how she cares about our pets. Thank you again, Alexis 💕”
