“Ashley was amazing with our pups, she sat them from Fri-Sun. And they had a fantastic time while in her care. She kept us updated with pics and a face time call so we could see/talk with our babies. We would definitely book with her again?”


“HIGHLY recommend this beautiful family to watch all your fur babies! They are the ABSOLUTE BEST and we have used them multiple times. They are just AMAZING!! Pick them! You will not be disappointed. 10 out of 10!”


“Gail is a wonderful pet sitter who takes care of Ori with genuine love and attention. Ori always comes home happy and relaxed, and we can tell he’s had a great time—especially playing with her sweet dog Quinn, whom he adores. We feel completely at ease knowing Gail is caring for our pup like one of her own.”


“Angie was amazing to our boy Finn. They really loved him while we were on an extended trip. Angie was great at sending pictures of Finn and he really settled in with their family. We would definitely stay with Angie and her family again, and would highly recommend her to others.”


“Savannah and Gabriel have been fantastic caregivers for Gus! Their communication is quick and consistent, and the photos they send each day show what a great job they're doing at keeping the pups in their care very happy. I'm grateful for the peace of mind I had while traveling, since I knew my dog was in such fantastic hands.”


“Luliia took care of my dog, Sly, over Christmas while I was out of town and was very kind and caring with him. She was very attentive about his care instructions which made me feel at ease. She made sure he got a lot of exercise and sent me multiple updates per day. Her son was also very helpful with Sly. Sly was very calm and happy when I picked him up. Thank you Luliia!”

“Ashley and her family are the best! My baby is always so calm when I drop her off. That’s how I know she trusts Ashley as much as her mom and dad. We don’t like to use anyone else!”


“My little chiweenie Arrow was a happy camper with Angela. She made drop-off and pickup easy to coordinate, and was even gracious about the fact that I forgot to bring enough food — she ran to the store and bought some. She was sitting another small dog at the time, and they got along great, so Arrow might even have had a little more fun that he does at home in a house full of cats! Would book again.”



“I highly recommended Danielle because of her excellent service. She and her husband Jack are very friendly and trustworthy. They took care of my dog very careful while I was on vacation. Moreover, she updated the activities of my dog by sending pictures and videos every day. Definitely a five-star service!”


About: Hi my name is Mimi.💗We build such strong bonds with our fur friends 🐶 and fur babies that's why it is difficult leaving them home for a day when we need to go to work. Trust me I get it! and I know you feel the same because you are here and you want someone who can care for your animals as if it is their own, and I am your gal. In Colorado, my husband and I were small-town pet sitters. We enjoyed caring for the neighborhood's pets of all kinds and helping their owners feel secure knowing that their pets would be well taken care of. I have experience fostering animals and raising my Siberian puppy, and I have gained so much insight into animal behavior. Siberian Huskies are known for being stubborn, but we have built such a loving connection with our Husky that you wouldn’t believe how sweet and much he responds to us. I take care of my fur baby by understanding what his needs are based on his breed, personality, and what he tells me through his behaviors. This is so important because our companions has needs too! As a pet sitter, I want to give your pet lots of love, we could go out to nature trails and help them manage their separation anxiety by building trust and comfort and following their daily routines. I understand that each of our companions is different and it takes nurturing their needs so that they may live fruitful, healthy lives like us and that’s where I come in. I'm very patient and have a knack for understanding all walks of life which I consider to be my greatest strength! I would be honored to care for your pups. Currently, I am also a Graduate Student attending Texas State University for Recreational Therapy. My goal as a recreational therapist is to combine my creativity to help others heal! When I complete my grad program, I plan to educate others on the benefits of animal-assisted therapy. Our pup Po Bear has brought so much joy and comfort into our lives, so we love what we do. Please reach out if you have any questions, and I can't wait to connect. I am currently a grad student so I have a flexible schedule. Pet care is the perfect opportunity to fit exercise, my love for animals and my need for the outdoors into my routine. I like to build trust through play, learn their breed and behaviors, motivators, and create fun activities. I am very careful with understanding as much as I can to accommodate their needs to make them feel safe, comfortable, and taken care of whether it is modifications in my home. I will also make healthy dog friendly organic snacks!

“Prisco was great with my senior dog . Sent us pictures every day about our 11 year puppy eating , walking with his dogs. First time we did boarding. Great experience. My husband and I were very happy with the prompt communication with Prisco. First time we did boarding for our dog . Great experience.!!!”


“Our dog was excited to check things out as soon as we arrived! We received nice updates and she came back with a full smile. We’ll definitely request Patches next time we travel!”


About: I work from home, so your fur baby will always have company around! I've trained three dogs from puppyhood and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I previously dog sat for a family with eight dogs, so I’m confident managing multiple pets with different needs. I go on daily walks and truly enjoy spending time with all breeds—whether it's playing, training, or just giving them some love and attention. Your dog will be in caring, capable hands! I work from home and have a make my own schedule, so I am able to tend to your fur babies needs at all times. I am flexible with my schedule, so if you need accommodations, I am happy to help! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on providing consistent, loving, and structured care. I make sure dogs get daily walks for exercise and mental stimulation, along with regular playtime throughout the day—usually three yard sessions if space allows. I also dedicate about 30 minutes each day to training or reinforcing commands, which helps keep dogs mentally engaged and well-behaved. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them, I treat every dog like family and tailor their routine to match their individual needs and energy levels.

“Morgan and her family were amazing! She was very communicative and took a great care of my dog while I was out of town. On our meet and greet, my dog was reactive and took for a while to warm up but she was very patient and understanding. I recommend her to everyone!”


“JR took great care of our dog and was super flexible with pickup and drop off due to our changing plans. He sent pictures regularly and gave Hank a lot of love while we were away!”


“Youna and Nick took great care of my senior dog while I was away for a weekend - they are extremely communicative and friendly and I am so grateful to have found them! Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible Dogsitter!”
