1. Louann S.
“After a recent move to North Dallas I needed an in home sitter for my 2 toy dogs & cat. I needed someone to stay at our home a good part of the day & overnight - Louann was one of the few people I found who would be willing to do this. I was travelling out of the country and out communication for a week - Louann understood my anxiety about leaving my babies with her and everything went perfectly. She has a great deal of knowledge about dogs and both of mine have been comfortable with her from the time they met her. She left my home swept, vacuumed, and the linens were clean and in the dryer. I recommend her for anyone who wants a caring, full service sitter who understands a very attached pet Mom's fears. ”

When I return from my trip, my pets were very happy and super excited to see him when he comes and visits, he took the time to learn my pets personalities their likes and dislikes! Highly recommend”

“Cindy was absolutely amazing with our pups! She made us feel very comfortable leaving them by sending great pics and keeping us updated throughout her stay.”
8. Darrian P.
“Darrian is amazing! My furbaby Roxy took to her pretty quickly and she is usually pretty standoffish. I left for a 2 week trip and felt very comfortable leaving my dog and cat in Darrian’s care. She came and did two pre-trip visits, out of her own personal time, to get to know my babies. That really put me at ease knowing she’d go the extra step. She was very good at communicating with me and sending me updated during my trip. I feel more relaxed on my trip knowing my babies were in good hands. I am definitely booking Darrian again!!!!”
9. Casandra S.
“Cassie was AWESOME! She came for a meet and greet prior to the booking which was nice. She checked in with me often and sent pics and videos. She played with the dogs and took them for a walk. She even fed my fish and checked on the chickens. Cassie handled my grumpy chihuahua well and even brought her own treats to work with our hyper puppy. Will book again!!”

I would highly recommend Bri!”

15. Blake S.
“Blake was a wonderful dogsitter, and even generously agreed to watch the pups for two weeks rather than the original one week after another dogsitter cancelled. He provided regular updates and even taught them some new tricks. He and his girlfriend were very respectful of our home while we were away, too. We’d love to have Blake watch our dogs again and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you very much, Blake!!”
16. Leah Y.
“Leah was so helpful. Sent lots of pictures which put my mind at ease. I have a crazy puppy and she did very well with him. I liked that they were able to stay with her so they felt more at home. It’s just nice to know your dogs are being well taken care of while you are come. We will definitely use her again!”

“Artasia is a wonderful pet caregiver. From playtime to baths and even taking training to understand how to work with dogs. Over the past year they’ve been an asset to helping with the care and responsibility of my dog while having to travel due to family. I would highly recommend Artasia for all your pet care needs. Your loved ones would be in great hands!”
