“We’ve used Kim a few times now and it has been such a life saver. My pups are not the friendliest to strangers so seeing the photos of them giving her love and getting pets, plus trusting her in our home is a HUGE relief. She is so good with them and patient. Couldn’t ask for a better caregiver for our pups when they can’t come with us!”
“Sarah was great at communicating and taking care of our boy! I never had to worry. She even brought him a Christmas Present. Very sweet, responsible sitter!”
“Karien was absolutely wonderful with my new puppy, Atlas! She was happy to suggest a meet up before I booked her, and I could tell right away that she truly enjoyed getting to interact with him. She was quick to communicate, and went above and beyond when doing the drop-in visits. When I got home, it was wonderful to have a puppy that wasn't overly anxious and was happy from his visits despite my being gone all day.”
“Alicia was great with my babies. She sent so many pictures and videos and I loved watching all of them. She followed all instructions and constantly communicated with me and my babies loved her!”
“Madison was great! Reliable, respectful, good communication. Such a comfort to know she is there to love and care for our pup when we need to be away from home. We already have Madison booked to cone again!”
“Jenica did an excellent job at communicating with us about our fur babies and what they're up to! Sent tons of pictures, made sure their bellies were full and gave them love. Made us more comfortable with being away from home on vacation. Highly recommend! A++”
About: I have owner various pets throughout my life and there has never been a time that I have not had an animal in my house. We relocated to the USA and this is the first time that we have not had a fur baby, so taking care of someone else's pets fulfills my need for animal loves and cuddles. I am currently not working, so I am available to take care of your pets while my children are at school. If you are comfortable with your pets being around children, my available hours can be extended and your pet is welcome in my home. Unfortunately no aggressive breeds are permitted at my home. I am happy to come to your home to spend time with your pets, giving cuddles and taking them for walks in safe neighborhoods. I do not have pets at my home so I am able to take care of your small pets at my home. I have a fenced garden area for potty breaks.
“So glad I found Abby!! She took care of my cat so well and calmed this anxious cat mom with regular updates and pictures! I’ll definitely use her the next time I need a sitter!”
“Lily is the most amazing dog sitter!! She was fantastic with my dog and always went above and beyond! In addition, she’s incredibly flexible with dates and very friendly! 100% would recommend Lily to care for any pet.”
About: I've cared for dogs, big and small, since I was a teenager. Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Hounds, Labs, German Shepherds...and more! Each dog has his/her own style of interacting with its people. I am patient with the outgoing pups and tender with timid pups. I am graduating with my master's and awaiting licensure. My off season from my profession means I can dedicate my time to caring for dogs, pups, cats, and kittens! My pets are a part of the family! I have a small, private fenced in area for monitored outings. For safety, I crate my dog when I'm away. If I'm home, my dog and cat are hanging out with me.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since the age of eight, having been taught from a young age how to handle animals with both safety and responsibility. Whether with my own pets or those entrusted to me, I always go above and beyond to ensure they feel happy, healthy, and secure. My experience also includes volunteering at pet adoption centers, where I witnessed firsthand the effects of neglect—and it deeply shaped my approach to animal care. Since then, I’ve made it a personal mission to ensure every animal I encounter feels loved, respected, and well cared for, no matter how brief our time together may be. I currently work full-time in Dallas. I would be available after 5pm on the weekdays and all day Saturday and Sunday. I am flexible with my hours on the weekends. I am also available early mornings before work and can do what works best for you! I have a fenced in backyard. I also have plenty of dog bowls and toys for dogs to play with. My home is pet friendly as there aren't many places for small dogs to get trapped in a small space. My floors are hardwood if there are any accidents that may happen as well.
About: I have pet sat and walked dogs for friends and family for over 20 years, used to be a pet bather for PetSmart when I was in high school. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and love spending time with animals of any kind! Can’t wait to meet my new fur friend! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I currently take my dog and my neighbor‘s dog out every three hours and have flexibility to add additional pets to my schedule. I have a dog park right downstairs from my apartment. We go out several times a day and have lots of dog friends here. I have helped walk neighbors dogs the last year that I’ve lived here as well
About: I currently have 2 dogs, a cane corso and french bulldog. I’ve spent my whole life watching over friends/families cats and dogs, ranging from different sizes and breeds. Where I live has a backyard for some outdoor play time and cool air conditioning inside. I love animals and am excited to be doing this to make money on the side because it brings me so much joy!! I am currently in school but am home for most days of the week, so my schedule is super flexible. I will always be around to make sure your pet has the attention they need along with frequent potty breaks and walks! I strive to create the perfect stress free environment for your dogs happiness! Whether this involves treats or frequent cuddles and play time. I do my best to communicate with my clients as well as strictly following instructions.
About: Hi there! I’ve lived on land my whole life and worked in rehabilitating horses/cats specifically. Currently, I work from home and tend to my families ranch 15 mins away as a ranch hand that ranges from basic to extreme care when needed. I’ve cared for kittens/ puppies, senior animals and every age in between. I’ve administered many types of medications (pills to injections) and have taken care of all different sizes/breeds (dogs & cats). I have a completely fenced backyard and leashes are always used aside from there. Potty breaks available 24/7. Communication is always open with me and updates/ pictures are always provided. Pet care is top priority with me and if your fur baby has a schedule, takes medication, has allergies, or any behaviors to look out for; please let me know so it’s like they never left home :) Also if you have a walking schedule I am happy to accommodate as well. I have a completely fenced yard, 2 large dog crates, water & food bowls along with dog beds/ blankets for your fur baby to enjoy!
About: Hi! I’m a very active individual and believe interactive play and runs are the best way to keep dogs active. I also love watching dogs learn and grow and as well as how loving they can be I work remote, and have a consistent schedule. So I use my routine to help build one for other animals as well. Morning runs. Several breaks during work and the some hardcore playtime when I’m off Walks and boarding other animals I will usually sleep in a separate room from my wife and either keep the pups in the crate or have them sleep next to me. Whatever they are accustomed to so they feel more at home. Home if child safe so very little to go wrong with any dog. When running or walking, I will carry and expandable plate and extra water for the pups,
“Malexy took wonderful care of our cat, Sandy. She gave thorough updates and notified us of issues, like when Sandy didn't eat food that had her medicine mixed in. She implemented solutions and told us how she addressed these issues. Her judgement on solving the problems was impeccable. We would highly recommend Malexy's services.”

Melissa G.
“Melissa was a neighbor for just over 5 years, so I have personally witnessed her love and care for her own pets / "furmily". She has also been an incredible support for me with my two beautiful basset hounds over the years, who struggled with separation anxiety and would bark at times - Mellissa would offer out of her own to come and sit with my old hounds to keep them calm and company while I was out. It is hard to express what a kind gesture this was and what an absolute huge relief it was to know I had Mellissa to rely on during those stressful times. It is also a testament to her trustworthiness as Melissa came into my home at these times when no-one else was home, not only her kind spirit and neighborly generosity. It is also worthwhile sharing that mine is the lucky family who Melissa hand picked to adopt her beautiful cat, Morgan, who we have had now for almost a year since Melissa and her family moved to the States. Even though it has been that long, Melissa still messages often to ask how she is and for photos and videos. I have no hesitation in providing this reference for Mellissa. She is an amazing woman, a true animal lover with a kind spirit and her family are lovely people too.”

“Lillian is one of the most trustworthy and caring people I know — not just with animals, but in everything she does. She’s attentive, patient, and genuinely loves spending time with pets. I’ve seen firsthand how gentle and engaged she is with dogs and cats of all personalities. Whether it’s going the extra mile for a long walk or making sure pets feel calm and safe while their owners are away, Lillian always shows up with compassion and reliability. Any pet would be lucky to have her care — and any pet parent can rest easy knowing their furry family member is in excellent hands.”
