“We booked Elizabeth to keep our cats company while we were away on vacation and she was fantastic! She went above and beyond to find one of our stubborn cats who likes to hide so we could have peace of mind on our vacation and provided excellent care for our two cats. My more social cat seemed to love playtime with her! We will definitely book with her again for our next trip. 😊”


“Kathleen was AMAZING! She made my Ranger feel at home, played with him, and helped me with my anxiety about leaving him with tons of pictures and commentary every visit. Will 100% be booking with her again! 🤍☺️”


“Absolutely amazing. We hope Emma will be available furever! She really went above and beyond for us and helped us feel at ease while we were away from our pets and our plants and our lives. We could not be happier with the help Emma provided”


“I would highly recommend her! We had her come on our 10 day trip and she was great, she cleaned and was very attentive to our cats, she treated them like they were her own. Any problem that came up she let us know as soon as possible, and was in communication with us throughout the entire process. Our cats absolutely loved playing with her, even our shy cat loved her. She was very thoughtful and thorough with her updates and sent us lots of pictures of our fur babies!”


About: My first pet was a guinea pig that lived for 8 years, and I have since had a dog and a cat. I have always had a passion for taking care of animals! I am currently studying online to become a veterinary technician and also starting to work part time. I am available every day from 6:30 - 8:00 AM. I have experience with gaining an animal’s trust and learning their behavior which allows me to react accordingly during their care. I also pay attention to the pet’s environment to respect it as much as possible to keep them safe and relaxed.

“We’ve been able to have Sofia care for our little girl, twice now and she has always been great! She takes the time to bond with our cat Oreo, making sure she is comfortable. Sofia also not only sends us an update pictures but extra videos and things to help us be at ease. We will continue to use Sofia when we are away!”



“Alpa was amazing!! It was the first time that we left our animals with someone else besides a family member and she was great. She is a true professional in this field and will will definitely will be using her again. Thank you Alpa for everything”


“Morgan took great care of our two dogs! One of them is senior with special needs. We received very consistent updates and pics and very quick responses to any communications. They got lots of TLC and play time. I will definitely use Morgan again and would highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”


“Melanie is the best! We always use her dog sitting services when we go out of state, and she always takes the absolute best care of our girl 🐕 We always come home to a happy pup, and having Melanie drop by offers us so much peace of mind while we’re away from home. She is awesome!”


About: Lifelong animal lover with 40+ years of experience caring for small dogs. Dedicated to providing loving, reliable, and attentive care, because every pup deserves to be treated like family! If you have a tiny pup, I’m your girl! Most of my experience is with petite princesses adorable 3–6lb toy poodles and yorkies. I absolutely adore small breeds and know just how to make them feel safe and loved. I also only host one guest dog at a time since I have two little ones of my own, so your fur baby will get lots of attention and care in a calm, cozy environment. 🐾 I work from home, which allows me to welcome a small dog into my home to spend time with me and my two little 5 lb pups. With over 40 years of experience caring for small dogs and a deep love for animals, I provide a warm, safe, and loving environment where they feel right at home! We have one that is 7 years old and one that is 14 years old. I have a securely fenced yard and a gated entry to ensure every pup stays safe. My two small 5 lb dogs keep great company, and since we work from home, your furry friend will always have care, attention, and plenty of love!

About: I’ve love taking care of animals since I was 10 years old. My family and I use to rescue animals at our house and help them get adopted. I also volunteered at the Dallas zoo and helped with large animals from cleaning animals sanctuaries, as well feeding them. I also have two furry babies of my own, a pomsky and a husky who I love very much! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule availability is quite flexible. I’m also welling to work on weekend to help your pups out! If you need me to walk your dogs or just let them out in yard for free time and some play time, I’m more then happy to do so.

About: Hi! I’ve taken care of my family & friends’ dogs and cats for years. I am very attentive & want to make sure each animal feels comfortable and loved when I am taking care of them. Their happiness and peace are my first priorities, so I would love the opportunity to give you peace of mind while you take time away from home :) I work a steady 9-5 hybrid job where I can choose to work from home or in office. I also wake up early each day by 6 am so if your pet is used to an early riser, I am your girl to take them on a walk. I can board overnight if needed or commute from my house. I am happy to come to your residence to walk/take care of your pets since this is what they are used to and comfortable with. If they need to be boarded at my house, I have a dog park down the stairs from my apartment building that is fenced but is still spacious & has enough room for them to run around.

About: I love going on long doggy walks, playing with the neighbors dogs and cuddling all the pups! I enjoy all breeds of pups, large or small! Trying something new on the side. Looking forward to enjoying my off days hanging with your pups! Walks, playtime, cuddles, all the pictures and more! Will care for your pets however needed- walks, cuddles, play time! My big pitty girl sleeps in the bed with me! Caution: will watch all the sports with your pup!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience with various pets and a deep understanding of their needs. Having owned dogs for most of my life, including four pugs and currently a dog who is about to turn six, I have developed a keen sense of canine behavior and care. Additionally, I am a proud owner of two ferrets, which has broadened my knowledge and skills in caring for less common pets. As someone who works from home and is a student with a university just two blocks away, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I am usually away for a maximum of 2 or 3 hours a day, ensuring that pets receive plenty of attention and care. I can provide regular walks, playtime, and feeding schedules, and I'm readily available to address any needs that arise. This routine allows me to offer consistent, attentive, and loving care for pets throughout the day. I take great care to ensure pets are safe and comfortable both in my home and in clients' homes. My home is fully ferret-proofed, ensuring a secure environment for all pets of different sizes since ferrets are quite small. For dogs, I provide a cozy space with regular walks, and lots of attention. Cats enjoy a quiet area with interactive play sessions. In clients' homes, I follow their routines and preferences, maintaining the pet's usual schedule and environment. My focus is always on providing a nurturing, safe, and engaging experience for every pet in my care.

About: I have had a heart for the four legged friends since I could walk. From a round of tug of war to running around the backyard to cuddling on the couch, it brings me joy to make animals feel loved. I am a teacher so I do have a teacher schedule throughout the week but I am home earlier most days (by 3:30 or 4:00). Your pet is free to lounge freely in the house while we are gone unless you have crate trained them and would like them put in their crates. We have a large house with no carpet and tile/wood throughout in case of any accidents. We do have a small dog (who can lounge with your furry friend and who is also crate trained) as well as a cat-who minds her own business most of the time. Our children LOVE dogs and are great at playing and helping your furry friend get lots of exercise. We have a fully fenced years and a sliding glass door. Crates during the day or lounging around the house is completely up to you. We have a cat who minds her own business and doesn’t mind dogs. Our dog Sherlock is the friendliest most playful little terrier who just loves making friends with everyone!

“Sarah took care of my 2 fur kids very well while K was away. She sent multiple pictures of them making me feel comfortable from a far. I will be using her services from this point on.”

About: I have 3 fur baby’s of my own and I adore them. I love teaching them new tricks and playing with them. I have been owning a dog ever since I was 4. I always had them for a puppy to an adult. I do work a part time job during the week but I am very flexible. I’m able to stop by whenever I’m needed. This could be once or twice or even three times a day. I am there to help your pet play and give them a walk. I would make sure your dog is comfortable with me and make sure to earn there trust before anything. I do make sure everything is closed in the yard and make sure there’s nothing around that might be a harm for your pet.
