“Maria took amazing care of my kitty, was incredibly reliable, detailed, responsive, knowledgeable, experienced, kind, and flexible. She took a huge weight off my shoulders while I was out of town for medical care. Her updates, photos, and videos were a pleasant addition to my recovery, and much needed. Thank you so much Maria for all your help and care!”
“Jessica was very kind and easy to work with. She stepped in and saved the day for us when we needed to find pet care unexpectedly. Really appreciated all the updates on my animals. Thanks Jessica!”

About: We are your fur baby’s home away from home! This is an animal-loving, family home with an animal loving boy, a cuddle loving lazy old lady Pittie, a vibrant and playful lab mix, and a sweet old cat. We would love to care for your fur baby and treat them just like ours. Meets and greet are required before stay is booked so we both feel comfortable and can ensure our home is the perfect fit for your baby. My son would be a part of pet cat and accompany me to any pet visits or drop ins. My husband or I can provide pick up/drop off for an additional fee. ALL boarders are required to be on flea treatment and current on shots. Your fur baby will have a fenced in yard, an opportunity for walks and lots of playtime with our family and our dogs. Check us out! We have a mixed schedule working in and out of the home. We have a mix of crated and free roaming dogs. We have lots of play and walk time in the afternoons and evenings. We are able to schedule and devote time to visits in the afternoons and evenings during the week and are flexible on weekends. We are also open to caring for small caged animals for an additional fee (hamsters & guinea pigs). We have a fenced in yard, an animal love kid, and a playful young dog who loves to play with other dogs. She is a large dog but is gentle with dogs of all sizes (she has a pug bestie). Our older dog is not a huge player but is happy to zoom around the yard and coexist along side new dogs. We have one additional crate that can be used for a medium sized dog and have space to provide quiet spaces or spots in the middle of the action to our guests.
“This was the 3rd time we need Maya to stay with our fur baby. This time we had to ask her to give administer some meds, and Maya did a great job. I trust her 100% with my dog (also names Maia) and she as being such a great help and someone we can rely on. Thank you Maya!!!”
“Gary was great with Lilith! I could tell that she had a really fun time playing with him. I got so many good pictures from Gary and he was very communicative and responsive. Definitely recommend him to anyone and will keep his contact for when we need him in the future.”
“Avery dropped in to watch our pets for a few days while we were away. She was very communicative and sent me photos each time which meant a lot to me! I could tell she really cared for our pets and treated them as her own while in her care. We are beyond happy we found Avery and have already booked her again!😊 10/10 recommend you book her for your babies!”
“Mckenzie is THE GREATEST! We are a repeat client of Mckenzie's. She ALWAYS goes Above & Beyond ♡ We could not have found a better person to watch over & take care of our doggo! We Beyond Grateful For Her! We Love You Mckenzie ♡♡♡”
About: I have grown up in a house that always had animals in it, especially dogs and cats. I have a few clients that I have been watching houses for— for years, I believe in making connections with your clients pets so there is no worry or stress between the pet parent and pet! I have lots of open free time as I am a freelance artist that works from home! So, in other words, I have my availability mostly open just need to have time to schedule I would be more comfortable in house sitting than boarding animals but for my own pets they are always inside, free roaming, only going outside when the dogs need to go potty!
“Our little crew adores Leslie! She took amazing care of us and highly, highly recommend. We will most definitely use her again and feel like we have a new person in our support network after just moving to this area. 🥰😍🐶”
“Maci cared for Mia during our out-of-town trip and made sure all essential tasks were handled. She followed the instructions we provided and kept Mia fed and comfortable while we were away. We appreciated that she was consistent with her visits and attentive to our cat’s basic needs. Thank you for taking good care of Mia during our time out of town.”
“Jarrell did a fantastic job caring for my cat while I was overseas. Very responsive, left thorough notes for me on The drop ins, and provided great photos of my kitty to let me know that all was well. Highly recommend!”
About: If you know me, then you know the only thing I may love more than my kids are animals. I have never met a dog I do not love a will not only love on your babies but also am comfortable with any special care or medical need your baby may have as I have had experience with many situations myself and and am happy to learn on anything I’m not familiar with. My daughter is a mobile groomer in the Fort Worth area as well and has taught me so much about many different breeds so I’m excited to meet your pups big or small! I retired a few years back and now am a caretaker to my parents but have a very flexible schedule as I am always local. I was born and raised in the area and am very comfortable with local travel to wherever I am needed to care for your pets.
“Aimee to our family is family! She’s a joy to have around, and gives you the peace of mind that is needed when you aren’t available to care for your own pets! Caring, responsible, gets the “big- picture” and does what is needed at all times!”
About: I have never lived without a dog. I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I could remember. From dog walking to bathing, to training, I have done it all. My friends, family, and neighbors always rely on me for assistance. Im currently a stay at home mom who loves dogs and would love to care for your beautiful babies. I have plenty of time to walk and play with your babies! I have a fenced in yard and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your fur baby if needed.
“Laurie was so awesome, she accepted my super last minute request and my baby got taken care of! She was extremely sweet and seemed to genuinely care about my dog! Will definitely rebook!”
“Taylor is always prompt and reliable. What wins me over though is her kindness and patience with my dogs. They each have drastically different personalities and needs but she handles it all in stride. And when one of them wasn’t well she notified me right away and we came up with a plan of action.”

Maci was wonderful! She is highly communicative and always let me know whenever she was on her way to my house. She followed all instructions perfectly and provided regular updates complete with text and photos, which gave me total peace of mind. My cats look like they were well taken care of while I was away. Highly recommended!
Christi was amazing and took excellent care of our kitty when my family and I got stuck out of town unexpectedly. The daily updates and photos helped my daughter feel better about being away from her cat. I am so grateful for her services and would recommend her to anyone!
We’ve been using Maria for nearly 2 years now, and finding a reliable dog sitter is no easy task. Choosing her was one of the best decisions we’ve made. She comes 2-3 times a week for 30 minutes to take care of all 3 of our dogs, and she consistently goes above and beyond Maria is punctual, communicative, and always sends the best photos of our dogs, which we truly appreciate. We’ve come to think of her as part of the family. If you’re considering hiring her to care for your pets, don’t hesitate - you won’t be disappointed.
We recently had to switch our daycare for our dogs, from boarding offsite to having an at-home pet sitter. I was nervous to use Rover but we were so lucky to find Maya! She was super thorough, thoughtful and knowledgeable about all things dogs. I felt comfortable with Maya coming to sit for us and administer our dog’s medications, which was very important to us! We’d definitely have Maya come back to care for our pups. ❤️
Abby is a kind and attentive sitter. I was impressed by her level of communication and how proactive she is. Abby was able to get Leo to come out and play which is great because he and his brother can be shy. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!
I booked Ariana for drop in visits multiple times a day while we were away for the weekend (the first time a non family member watched them) and the pets were so well cared for, loved and played with! What a relief! What a great decision to hire Ariana - incredible with our babies and so very trustworthy. Ariana thank you so much!
Avery is super sweet, punctual, polite and outgoing. My dogs took to her immediately. 😄 She's excellent with communication and keeping in contact before, during and after visits. She even sent me a pic of my fur babies running around the backyard having a good time! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you so much for caring for my pups!❤️
