I'm a Repeat Customer! Recently used Alina this month (August) and it brings so much comfort to my heart that my Fur Babies willingly walk themselves right into her home! It's like their second home. Alina and her family always give them so much love and attention. Also, her daily updates plus photos are always on point. She absolutely loves what she does and always goes above and beyond to make sure my Fur Kids are well taken care of and comfortable. Thank you bunches Alina for always making my Babies feel welcomed! 🐾🐾🙏❤️

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! 🐾

Alicia is absolutely amazing! This is the first time that I have used Rover and I am so glad that I did. Alicia met me very early in the morning to accommodate my work schedule and was so nice when I was running late to pick up my Max. She did so well with him and I could tell that he really liked her when I picked him up. I was nervous about leaving him since we are still working on his socialization but she said he did so well. I will definitely book with her again when she is available. I could not recommend her enough. Thank you so much!!

My babies had the best time with Pauline! Her dog, Dusty, got along beautifully with my fur kids and they played and loved their weekend getaway. Pauline sent pics of the dogs getting along and sent text updates each day. I was able to take my trip and have peace of mind knowing my babies were not only safe but also having fun. Thank you Pauline!

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
