Dog Sitting Shady Shores

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Ever since we rescued my first dog I’ve loved all dogs passionately. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and colleagues to care for their dogs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a walk, or overnight care, I bring patience, love and responsibility to every visit. I am currently a full time student working on a Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology. However, I have plenty of time to play with your pets on the weekends and all day Friday! I enjoy outdoor activities and would love to explore with your pets every chance I get! I provide care in your home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions closely and treat your space with respect. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities—I’ll make sure they’re happy, healthy, and never left unattended.

“Alee was great with our two dogs. She communicated promptly, always sent us pictures of our dogs, and spent lots of time with them. We would love to use her again!”

About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs and cats, and it’s truly one of my favorite things to do. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and a sitter who pays attention to the little things like their habits, their quirks, and what makes them feel safe. I’m comfortable with all breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I always follow your instructions closely. Whether your dog needs long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I adapt to their needs. I send updates, respect your home, and make sure your pets feel loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱 My Experience Over the past decade, I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable with: Puppies and high‑energy dogs Senior pets who need patience and gentle routines Special‑needs animals requiring medication or extra monitoring Multi‑pet households 💛 Why Owners Love Working With Me Clear communication and daily updates Respect for your home and routines A calm, trustworthy presence pets bond with quickly Reliability! I show up on time, every time If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like family, I’d love to help. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to love on your pets! I'm early to bed and early to rise, so your pets will get lots of early morning playtime and walks and evening cuddles. I am a firm believer in at minimum one walk a day (if your baby is physically able!), and I am always happy to do multiple walks and dog park trips!

“Camdyn is awesome! My pup takes time to warm up and trust and he gave an incredible effort, as he is kind, understanding and patient! Camdyn has great communication for setting up drop ins and sharing visit info. I def recommend adding him to your sitter repertoire.”

“Gaby took such great care of my fur babies and made sure they were comforted while I was out of town for a few days. I could tell my babies were always happy and relaxed every time Gaby came by to check on them at home. Thank you so much, Gaby!”

About: I bring over a decade of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, including training across various dog groups. My deep understanding of dog safety, social cues, and behavior ensures a safe and enriching experience for each furry client. Plus, I prioritize respecting each owner's unique boundaries with their beloved pets. I currently work remotely and have flexibility to work anywhere. I also create my own schedule while at work so I am flexible with your pups schedule. I am completely understanding of pet owners boundaries and schedules, I abide by all rules set by the owners. Additionally I love to throw in play time and one on one time with pups, as they are not with their loved ones.

“Abby was amazing! We have a very temperamental ginger that does not like people and hides away from strangers. But Abby managed to connect with Nala and she was sending us updates and photos every day. We would definitely use Abby again and recommend her to anyone looking for a good pet sitter.”

“Demariana has truly gone above and beyond for me and my cat. I cannot begin to thank her for the kindness and service she provided during a difficult holiday season. She is a wonderful communicator and really went the extra mile for this sit.”

About: Experienced with dogs and cats! I've been the trusted sitter for family and friends-playtime, cuddles, and care always included. Your fur baby will be in good hands. I am currently working full-time during the week, but fully available during the weekends. While my schedule is busy during the week, I'm happy to offer reliable care and quality playtime to ensure your pets feel comfortable,safe,and loved while you're away. I treat every pet like family, providing in-home care filled with attention, affection, and fun so your fur babies feel safe, happy and loved while you're away.

About: Hi, my name is Ashley C! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and I’ve played basketball majority of my life (former D1 athlete, Wolve's up!). I have grown up with dogs and have a natural affinity for all kinds of animals. I’ve volunteered for shelters and I also have pet sat for a lot of family and friends throughout my youth. I enjoy being outside and taking my furry friends for long or short walks (whatever they're feeling that day). Pet sitting is awesome and very rewarding in itself because I absolutely treasure spending time with so many wonderful pets. I assure you that I will treat them just as well as I would want my pets to be treated. I love being around animals and I can’t wait to meet you and your pet family! My schedule is normally pretty chill. I currently work part time from home; therefore, I can provide maximum and optimal care and attention to your furry friend all day long. I have a fenced back yard, and live a few minutes away from a large park, so if your pet LOVES long walks (or jogs), fetch, or just soaking up the sun, then I am the perfect fit. I also have a doggie pool, so if your dog is a water bug, let me know and they can play in the pool and I will make sure to send you a lot of pictures of them playing!

About: I’ve recently grown to love taking care of dogs. The mindset I had when I walked into my first dog sitting job is not the mindset I have today. I felt nervous of the responsibility and risk, but now, I am confident, the playfulness of dogs in general lowers the stress of the job! I enjoy time with dogs and understanding them for the future when I can have my own. I also have a semester of experience with animal management from my senior year, giving me the opportunity to groom dogs, provide hygiene and play voluntarily. The opportunity also allowed me to study behaviors and important things to keep in mind about caring for dogs. Presently, I work as a host on the weekends, normally just a morning or a night shift, but if requested two weeks ahead of time, I could request days off, therefore I am able to be available all day as needed! Although Mondays - Wednesdays I have classes on campus. Mondays and Wednesdays I’m non-negotiably unavailable 11-4 pm. Tuesdays I am only unavailable 12-2 pm. Overall, besides my class schedules, I can make availability open! My home is normally not an option for care due to young children present. In client’s homes, I remain present at the house all day unless an important matter comes up, I will temporarily leave, not for long. I like to include playtime, keep the dogs busy and make sure they behave using tactics with treats. I prefer to stick to a consistent schedule throughout the days such as specific feeding times, time of day to walk the dogs, and any house maintenance schedules I should be aware of. I am able to sleep comfortably with dogs if wanted and walk them often, as long as the dog is not beyond my strength to handle.

About: I don’t just walk dogs — I read their body language, match their pace, and make every outing feel like their favorite adventure, and fun. I shape my day around the pets I care for. That means whether your pup needs a morning stroll, a midday break, or evening exercise, I make sure their needs come first in my schedule. When I dog sit, I treat your pup and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own pets and home.

“Can always trust Nick to take great care of our cats while we’re out of town!”

About: Hi! I’m a professional nanny with over a year of full-time experience caring for twin toddler girls from birth through toddlerhood, and I’m now offering reliable morning pet care 3–4 days a week (9am–1/2pm). What sets me apart is my background in structured, high-responsibility childcare—I’m used to managing routines, reading behavior cues, staying calm in unpredictable situations, and providing consistent, attentive care throughout the day. I bring that same level of focus and reliability to every pet I care for. I understand how important it is to have someone you can fully trust with your pet, especially during the day while you’re at work. I prioritize safety, consistency, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and understood—not just supervised. I’m offering reliable morning and afternoon pet care 3-4 days a week from 9-1 or later. I’m also open to weekend opportunities when my schedule permits. I offer both in-home visits (at your home) and care in my home (when appropriate), always focusing on safety, routine, and comfort. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication if needed, cleaning up after pets, and making sure your home is respected and left as I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, structured, and supervised environment. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and rest, and ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and never left unsupervised. I treat every pet like they are part of the family and prioritize a stress-free environment.

About: My name is Gianfranco, I work full time at an animal shelter called operation kindness as an animal Care Technician, my job is to clean after the animals (cats included), walk the dogs, feed the cats, and just overall make the environment as stress free as possible considering shelter life for them can get very stressful, I work everyday from 8am-5pm except for Tuesday’s and fridays, those days I’m available at any time in the day, I’m great with all sizes of dogs, I have some animal behaviorist knowledge so I can deal well with lots of different types of dogs, hyper, playful, calm, even the more shy and reserved dogs that just need a little bit more patience to become friends with. And cats are also great! I have my own laser pointer, I know some cats like to be more alone than others, some love to play, and I’m good with them all, thank you!

“Kelsey was so fantastic! Our cats Seth and Zeke loved having her come over to check in on them. (They are now best buddies!) She was always super responsive and on time. I could not recommend her more! We'll definitely be using Kelsey again in the future.”

Here is some information about me: I am an extremely active person. When I’m not in the gym, you can find me on several hiking trails around DFW. I have lots of experience with big dogs and understand the importance of giving them the attention an exercise they need!

I am available for any bookings, any time. Monday-Sunday, morning and night I am here to accommodate your schedule and needs! I am also able to be home most of the day to avoid leaving dogs alone.

I treat the dogs I watch like they are my own and give them lots of love. Safety and attention are everything to me! Your pets will be in good hands.

About: I have been in love with animals since I was little. I grew up on a farm with horses, cows, a sheep, dogs and cats. I've had 9 rescue dogs throughout my life, as well as 8 niece and nephew pups and countless friends' dogs I've cared for and loved. I have also volunteered at shelters and wildlife rescues, and I've even camel sat! I have experience working with and caring for different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments and have partnered with trainers to help dogs with work through anxiety, over-stimulation, and reactivity issues. I have also cared for special needs dogs and senior dogs who need meds, diapers, traction devices, slings, and extra attention. Once I get to know a pup, I am very attuned to their behavior/mood/signs and am able to help them feel cared for and safe. I'm currently working part time, so my availability is very wide open. I'm free for walks and play time during the day or overnight stays with your pup in your home if you have a work trip or vacation. Is your dog an escape artist? I've had one of those, so I can bring a heavy wooden gate to block off doors or other areas of the house as needed. Other than that, I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own dogs, and considering that my friends have said they would like to be reincarnated as one of my dogs....

“Abby is great! She’s punctual and very communicative during the check-ins. I appreciated that she respected Pickles’s space and slowly earned her trust over the few days. I would definitely recommend her for cat sitting!”
