“Haylle did a great job taking care of our cat during a week long vacation. Our cat is super shy with strangers, but surprisingly warmed up to Haylle in just a day! We will definitely rebook.”

About: I have professional experience working with dogs in structured daycare settings, including as a Canine Coach at Dogtopia. I managed playrooms of up to 35–40 dogs at a time and worked with a wide range of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’m comfortable reading dog body language, supporting safe group play, and staying calm and confident with both high-energy and anxious dogs. I also worked with Southlake Crittercare as a dog driver and handler, safely transporting dogs to and from daycare and assisting with playgroups organized by energy level and play style. In both roles, I cared for boarding dogs and handled daily routines such as feeding and administering medications. Paying close attention to individual needs and keeping dogs comfortable and secure was always a priority. Outside of my professional roles, I’ve provided in-home and overnight pet sitting for friends and family over the years. This includes caring for a home with four Basset Hounds of varying ages, including senior dogs requiring multiple medications. I understand how important consistency and clear communication are when someone else is caring for your pets. I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be attentive and reliable with pet care throughout the week. I value routine and consistency, and I strive to make sure each pet receives the time and attention they need. Clear communication and planning are important to me, so owners always know what to expect. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping routines consistent and stress low. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs, and I stay attentive to changes in behavior or appetite. My background in dog daycare and handling has given me strong skills in reading body language and managing different temperaments, including high-energy, anxious, and senior dogs. For walks, I prioritize leash safety, awareness of surroundings, and each dog’s individual pace and comfort level. I treat clients’ homes with respect and take care to keep pets secure by following door, gate, and leash protocols. I also provide regular updates so owners feel confident while they’re away.
About: What I value is my commitment to making every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owner is away. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they receive personalized care, plenty of attention, and a positive experience every visit. Pet care fits well into my schedule alongside my part-time job. I carefully manage my time to ensure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. When I’m not working, I am available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and quality one-on-one time with your pet! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions! I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved by providing plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and supervision while keeping owners updated on how their pet is doing!
“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was scrolling looking for someone I just got a great feeling about her I made the perfect Choice. I was away on a birthday trip 7 days, and she took incredible care of my cat, Arrow, the entire time. She kept in touch with me every day, sending updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She made sure Arrow was well cared for, played with him, scooped his litter box, and even took the litter outside afterward to make sure my apartment stayed fresh which was great to come home to. She also took the time to let him drink from the faucet his absolute favorite thing! which showed me that she really paid attention to his personality and routines. On top of taking such great care of Arrow, Amber went above and beyond by bringing my trash can in and even putting my birthday flowers inside the house and in fridge to keep them fresh for me 🥹 It’s clear that Amber genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. Knowing Arrow and my home were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little kid: starting at about 10 years old I pet set for my neighbors. I have watched, fed, and walked dogs of varying sizes and ages and have also fed and managed some cats. In my college town I have helped the Humane Society on occasion by taking a dog at a time to walk them and let them roam around and enjoy time outside the kennel. I am an animal lover and know how important it is for them to be cared for and loved! I’m currently working part time only 2 days a week as I am home for the summer so will have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets! I have a fenced in yard and a small dog who is super friendly and well loved. He is a grazer so doesn’t have designated food times but my previous dogs were fed twice a day. He gets morning walks every morning and sometimes extra ones in the evening.
About: I have had 3 dogs including my life and loved caring for them. Feeding them, playing with them, and taking them on walks! I had a senior dog of 10 years. He couldent walk for his last couple months so sometimes I would carry him small distances he was 90 pounds. I am available all day every day except for mondays from 5:30-9. And when I go on a trip. But I will let you know on the calendar. I only walk dogs and check on them in your house. I can do whatever you need! I can feed them, walk them, play with them, and give them medication.
About: **I am a teacher and my calendar is contingent on Keller ISD school calendar.** I am available most holidays, with advance notice. I look forward to caring for your pet as my own. I’ve cared for pets all my life, from hamsters to horses. I bring experience and compassion to all I do. Our family pets, a Lab mix and senior Chiweenie, would agree. I update my schedule a month in advance. Please contact me with any questions about availability including most major holidays and weekends. Contact me for a meet-and-greet. I will care for your pets by following your care plan. While I am with your pet I will engage, pet, play and walk as per your request.

“I had a great experience with this Hannah. They were reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout the process. My dog was happy and well looked after when I returned.”

About: Hi!! I’ve had experience watching my friends and family’s pets (both cats and dogs). I also have a dog of my own, which I love caring for, and I can’t wait to care for your pets! I’m home for the summer and I am free all the time! I can do all of my selected services any day of the week! I know how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your animals, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout my time with your pet!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have also sat pets for many years for my friends and neighbors. I have worked as a dog bather so I have experience handling dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I am also willing to bathe, brush, shave paw pads/mats and do nails for your dog, the rate is under drop in visits but that is for everything I just listed if you just need one service we can talk about that 😁 (rate will also change depending on the size of the dog). I volunteer at animal rescues so I am very familiar with rescue animals and accommodations they may need. I love any and all animals. I recently started working with cats at my rescue and am willing to learn more about them. I am recently home from college for the summer. I am available all day everyday for drop-ins, house sitting, walks, and basic grooming services. When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow their normal routine as consistently as possible. I make sure they have water, food on time, bathroom breaks, playtime/exercise, and lots of love. For walks I pay attention to how the dog behaves and set my pace, energy, and length of walk to best fit them. For drop-ins and house sitting I make sure the pet gets playtime, basic care, and companionship based on their routine. I have experience with everyday pet care and have also bathed dogs I have cared for when needed. I aim to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owner is away.
“Kelly is amazing! This was our first time booking with her and we will definitely book with her in the future! She provided detailed updates of Beau after each visit, and several pics - it was obvious that Beau was very comfortable around her and had a great time!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Most of my experience is with my own dogs, two large boxers, as well as the boxers I had as a child. I started pet sitting for family and friends in the last five years, and I have pet sat two large golden retrievers multiple times, and a small Havanese multiple times as well. I am familiar with caring for dogs of all ages. I’m currently working a full time job, but I have a lot of extra time to take care of your fur babies and get them outside! If you have any questions about my availability feel free to message me and we can find a time that works for both of us! I am good with walking animals of varying sizes, and am comfortable with both short and long walks, whatever is needed for your fur babies to have the most fun, while also being comfortable!
“Jessica watched my senior cat while I was on vacation and was fantastic! She sent pictures and was punctual with her visit times! I highly recommend Jessica and will use her for future visits :)”

“Amy is an exceptional dog sitter and we recommend her without reservation! She provided wonderfully loving and attentive care for our pack: Moose, Jackie, and Lucy. It was clear from her daily updates that she was truly enjoying her time with them. She managed the needs of all three (including their different personalities!) with professionalism and great care. We felt such a huge sense of relief knowing our dogs were safe and happy. If you need a reliable, caring sitter, book Amy immediately!”

“Sandra had been amazing! I had knee surgery and needed someone to help with Nyx's daily walks. Sandra took care of early mornings. She was always on time and Nyx was excited to see her each morning. I will definitely use Sandra's services again in the future!”
