“Sierra and Liam were wonderful!! They took good care of our dogs and were excellent communicators!! I’ve already used their services twice and would not think twice about rebooking in the future!!”
“She is the best dog sitter! She sent pictures several times a day and sent messages every day letting me know how my sweet Ellie was doing. This was uplifting as I could enjoy my vacation knowing my pup was in the best hands. Her house is clean and dog friendly. She had extra kennels and toys. She is an animal lover and I will use her anytime I need a sitter for my fur baby.”
“I cannot say enough about the love and care Luna and Koe received from Fatima! As a first timer using this app Fatima exceeded my expectations and removed any concerns instantly in the process. I will be reserving again with Fatima! 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Jennifer took great care of Teddy while we were away for a week. She is an excellent communicator, and sent regular photos and updates while he stayed with her. He came home happy, full of energy and clean! We are so grateful, and will definitely use Jennifer again soon!”
“Savanna was great with my dog, Joule. She was super easy to communicate with and made everything feel really simple and smooth. I felt comfortable leaving Joule with her right away. Joule came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious she got lots of attention and playtime while I was gone. I’d happily recommend Savanna to anyone looking for a kind, dependable sitter!”
“We love Lainey! She takes great care of our dog Happy and we can travel without worrying what she is doing and how she is. Lainey takes her for walks which is her favorite thing to do. She also sends us daily pictures and updates of how she is as well. You cannot go wrong trusting Lainey with your dog family member!”
“the best couple! so sweet and friendly! and to add so understandable! i came down to texas to get my car fixed and was so unsure of the days my car would be in the shop, and they were so kind to help me. You can definitely trust that your fur babies will be safe with them :)”
“Sabri was awesome!! She communicated every day and sent pictures. My little girl clearly loved playing with her dogs and kids and they loved her. I highly recommend Sabri and will use her again!”
“Nick + Ashley have been great + my dog Oakley had a good time at their home while I was away. They have connected with me with photos of Oakley and advised that she was “at home” while staying with them which is wonderful to hear for a dog parent!”
“Rob and Mary are amazing people, love dogs and treated my as their own.super accommodating when we asked to extend our pups stay at last minute.my fur baby became fast friends with theirs, and loved the walks and outdoor romps he got to enjoy. Even better is the updates and pictures I received during my vacation that made me smile and let me know he was in good hands. I highly recommend Mary and Rob and our Lumpy will be returning next trip.”
“Daniella is so kind and did an amazing job talking care of Loki! She is very attentive and gave great updates daily! Will definitely book with her again! I 100% recommend her for any dog boarding needs. She took Loki on a short notice and he had an absolute blast with her!”
“Kathleen took great care of my dog, Frankie. He is typically somewhat anxious, but she made him feel right at home. He was relaxed and content during his stay. She sent daily pictures that helped ease me while away. Kathleen has a great set up for dogs to feel at home. She has treats and some toys there for them to play with, if they so desire. She is home with them -which helped me - knowing Frankie wasn't going to be stuck in a crate all day. I would highly recommend her for your dog caring needs.”
“We’ve used Maggie a couple times now and wouldn’t think of using anyone else to watch our fur-baby while we’re away. She always provides updates and our pup comes back happy and tired from playing with her dogs.”
About: I have been around pets all my life, but only these past couple of years have I started taking care of other’s pets as well! I do have a doggo of my own, so overall I am experienced. I currently work from home so I am home most days. I like to go walking in the trails nearby or at the park in which your pup would tag along :) I am home most days of the week and can supply lots of playtime/outside time for your furry friends! I frequent the trails nearby and can provide much fun for your pup while you’re away!
“Excellent sitter, very responsive, very nice, and sent tons of pics! Great backyard for active doggos to run around. I think my dogs have had a great time. I will definitely be booking with her again when the needs arise. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica and Brian were amazing and exceeded expectations in every way. I left my pit bull, Clara, with them for two days while my sister got married in Fort Worth. Jessica was quick with communication and sent tons of pictures while Clara was staying with her. They have a huge fenced backyard, which Clara loved exploring. Jessica was very respectful with any special requests or instructions. Jessica and Brian are HUGE dog lovers, and I could tell Clara got a ton of love while she was staying with them. They were exceptional in every way...if I ever need a place for Clara to stay in DFW again, I will be be crossing my fingers that they're available!”
“Tiffani was caring, responsive & made Lola feel right at home. Great care provider, asks all the right questions & understands your fur baby is important. Will request more dates in the future!”
“This was our first time using a new boarder in many years, and Nancy put any anxieties to rest by sending us daily pictures and videos. I’m not sure our Ruby wanted to come home she was having so much fun!”
“I asked Jonathan to care for my new 6 year old dog while on vacation. Jonathan agreed and the experience was absolutely the best. You see, my new dog, Andy had previously lived with a neighbor behind me and bc Andy is a fence jumper my neighbor had locked the dog in a cage his entire life. So he was not socialized or house broken until just the last 3 months since I took him to live with me, however I had given Jonathan as much info as I knew about him. Jonathan was so attentive with Andy he even made a special leash where Andy could run in his very large backyard but yet could not jump the fence. My biggest fear was he would run away but Jonathan sent me videos every day so I could see he was safe and happy. This was so comforting for me. When I picked up Andy he seemed a but confused which broke my heart bc I truly believe my new dog wanted to stay with Jonathan. I really think Andy had a great week staying with Jonathan and I will certainly call him again when I need a safe place for Andy to land for a few days or weeks. Jonathan is the best. Oh and Andy had his own spot on Jonathan's couch just like home.”
“Dani was an amazing dog sitter with Dune, per usual. She sent a bunch of pics and updates about our pup, was flexible and reliable. 10/10 would recommend to a friend!”

Daniella is so kind and did an amazing job talking care of Loki! She is very attentive and gave great updates daily! Will definitely book with her again! I 100% recommend her for any dog boarding needs. She took Loki on a short notice and he had an absolute blast with her!
We appreciate Ali and Priscilla for taking care of our fur babies. They allowed us to do a meet and greet before drop off day, as this is our Daisy Mae's first time being in the care of someone else, so it helped put our minds to ease. They sent us pictures for the first couple days they were there and updated us on how they were doing. They are friendly people with friendly dogs themselves. Thanks again!
Danielle took great care of Mochi! We stopped using kennels because we could see the trauma it was causing her when she returned to us. I’m so glad that Danielle treated her like family, and she returned to us tired from a fun week, happy, and calm! Thanks so much!! :)
Jayline was incredible! She took such good care of my dog Winston and sent lots of updates with pictures/videos that were very appreciated. She was very flexible with pickup times and even accompanied a late pick up. She put up with my dogs tummy issues and gave him medicine. We will definitely book again!
Lily took such great care of our baby boy. We were traveling out of state and were getting lots of updates and pictures of him throughout his stay. We’re blessed to have found her and cannot thank her enough for allowing us to go on this trip with peace and calmness knowing our Draco was safe and having a great time❤️
I left my dog with Brijesh for the weekend, and the whole experience was fantastic. He was super friendly, easy to coordinate with, and made my dog feel completely at home. It was clear from the updates and photos that my pup was having a great time. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of — it felt like he had his own little vacation! I really appreciated the care and attention Brijesh gave him. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone reliable and kind to watch your dog. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!
Mandeline was absolutely amazing with our dog Deuce! She went above and beyond to get to know his unique needs and made sure he felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. We loved receiving her daily updates and photos…she treated him like a little human dog and he clearly loved every minute of it. We couldn’t have asked for a more attentive and loving sitter. Highly recommend!
Kirsten taking care of my dog was a great experience! She was incredibly attentive and loving with Mitty, and it was clear my dog was happy and well cared for throughout the stay. Kirsten provided plenty of updates and photos which I appreciated. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure Mitty felt comfortable and safe. I'll definitely be booking with Kirsten again — highly recommend!
Jill took the BEST care of my older dog while I was away! Communication was excellent both before and during the stay. She is very detailed and made sure she understood my dog’s routine. We had a lovely meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everyone was comfortable. During the stay I received sweet daily updates so I could see how my pup was doing! Highly recommend Jill and will definitely use her again!
