“Great, my puppy really enjoy his walks with Rebecca, she is professional and keeps the communication with me , she is helpful and willing to meet my expectations”

“Emily was SO easy! I had to ask her last minute for one morning because my friends couldn’t that specific time & she made things a breeze! I got pictures of my fur baby & now will definitely be using her again 😍”

“Kyliegh is sooo sweet! With such a late notice need for a walk, she was quick to respond and step in when I needed (which is a pet parent’s DREAM)! My pittie tends to be a little funky when it comes to meeting new people but Kyliegh adjusted and adapted to Nova’s needs! Not enough good things to say about her! I appreciate her TONS and will be back very soon! Nova, Kenzo, and I appreciate her immensely!”

“Thank you for fitting us in for a week worth of daily walks at the last minute. I appreciate your good communications and punctuality. Brice enjoyed her walks with you this week. We will definitely book with you in the future!! Highly recommended...”


“Emily was great with both of our doggies! She showed up on time and communicated with us on any dog updates and sent great photos. She even did a meet and greet a week prior to the multiple day dog walks we booked her for. Thank you!”

“Dalya is awesome!! Walked and hung out with our puppy, and sent plenty of photos/videos. She sent timely messages during her scheduled visit and was so quick to respond. Will be keeping her in mind for the future!”


About: I’ve loved caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience with puppies, large breeds, and even managing multiple dogs at once (up to five), so I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet in safe, trustworthy hands when you’re away. I’m excited to meet your canine companion and guarantee I will care for them with the same attention, patience, and love I give my own! As a student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day based on your dog’s specific needs and routine. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or consistent companionship, I can offer dependable coverage at a variety of times. I’m also available for overnight stays and extended dog sitting, including care for trips lasting up to a week, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in consistent, caring hands. At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding in my home, but I provide reliable in-home pet sitting so your dog can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’ve had great success with combined pet and house sitting, ensuring both your dog and your home are well cared for while you’re away. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, or routines. I also have experience with puppies and can reinforce training such as basic obedience, leash walking, and fun tricks during my time with them.
“Jaime was very understanding when he was at my house to walk my Dozer for the 1st time... seeing how I had a emergency come up and I completely forgot that he was coming to my house. I wasn't there.. but I let him in. He still just let my dozer out to potty even tho my dog was so scared and was running from him. My fault completely.. but Jaime still handled things professionally . I really appreciate you !”

“Suzanne was so helpful with my dog Meech while I was recovering from an injury and unable to walk him. She was quick and professional and had no issues handling some of his reactivity on the leash. Would definitely book again and recommend to others!”

About: Grew up surrounded by horses, cows, chickens, and never went without a pet in the home! I’ve even worked a little bit on farms and called myself “Captain of the Dogs” as a kid! Being in medical school keeps me a little too busy for a dog of my own, but I absolutely love the opportunity to care for your pets. I hope to be able to both take care of your pets in home, where they are used to, as well as out on walks to have some adventures! I look forward to it! I’m currently in medical school, so I stay very busy studying. However, I take frequent breaks to get outside and get active. I am also always looking for somewhere new to study (your home!) and a fur baby to pet (yours!). It’s very important to me to be as accommodating as possible so both you and your pet are comfortable, whatever that means for you guys. My priority is to keep things safe, fun and loving always.

“Hana helped out at short notice and it was very easy to arrange Baloo’s walking schedule. Communication was good and we will definitely use again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and have been surrounded by dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up with a family dog, pet sat for friends and neighbors, lived with roommates who all had dogs, and got a dog of my own in 2023. In my experience, I have dealt with high energy dogs, slightly aggressive dogs, and velcro dogs from puppy age to senior, and I’ve administered oral medication. My own dog pulls terribly on a leash so I’m well accustomed to walking dogs that don’t have the best walk etiquette. I also have two male dogs at home that don’t get along with each other so I feel comfortable handling that situation if needed. Above all, I have such a deep love and care for pets and I strongly understand how important it is to have someone you trust taking care of your fur baby while you’re away. I can promise that I will treat your baby as my own if you’ll let me be the one to take the role of 2nd favorite human while you’re away from home. I look forward to getting to know you and your fur babies! :) I’m working full time in-office, so my weekday availability revolves around that. I’d be able to do 30 minute drop-ins/walks during lunch time (provided you’re somewhat near downtown fort worth) and I can do night time drop ins/walks. However, I do have half day Fridays so I’m plenty available to do drop-ins/walks for most of Friday-Sunday. Sometimes things change too so feel free to message me and see if we can figure something out! I’m happy to spend quality time with your pet to give them the love, care, and safety that they need and deserve whether that’s playing tug, going for a walk/run, getting some good cuddles in, or just chilling in each other’s presence. Nothing is too big of an ask - I just want your baby to feel as loved as possible in my time with them!
About: I have had cats as pets my whole life and dogs as an adult. I have been pet sitting for about 6 years to dogs from puppies to seniors. Times have ranged from weekends to a month. I started fostering kittens when covid hit. I have found joy in caring for animals with all their different personalities. I have become experienced in all things kittens : bottle feeding , tube feeding administering medicine (my neighbor will even call me to give her pets pills) flea baths ringworm baths, brushing teeth you name it . I have even had to help kittens cross the rainbow bridge. It has been bitter sweet , but the love they give is more then enough. All animals deserve the best treatment and love we can give them I have been in education for 20 years teaching art and currently an administrator for the districts Fine Arts Department. My schedule is flexible enough to be able to check on animals during the day so they are taken care of. I have found pet sitting and fostering to be very rewarding and someday would like to start my own fostering service . Foster group Tall Tail Rescue . My job is flexible enough that i can leave for lunch and take care of your pets in the middle of the day as well. I have three cats that have been around lots of dog and cat “visitors” . Fostering cats has helped, … oh here comes another friend
About: I enjoy cat fostering in my spare time and have grown up with dogs. I have experience with all sorts of furry personalities and am always happy to meet more. I am a grad student with a fairly flexible schedule so I am able to work with you to find a time that fits your needs I am available for drop in visits to check on your pet, take them out on walks, give medications (I am a human nurse :)), and take of their meals!
“I really appreciate the care Cong-Bao showed Jiaozi! He was so attentive, giving him plenty of pets and even helping me out by refilling the water bowl. They had a great 30-minute walk, and Jiaozi managed to take care of all his business. Highly recommend!”

Suzanne came through tonight and walked my dog when I was called away for an emergency! I appreciate their communication and response time with a request that only left a couple hours until booked appt time. Bonus points that he’s been helped by them before so I didn’t have to contact a complete stranger. Thank you!
