About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of and being around pets my entire life! Since I was a child, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fishes as well as other large animals! Over the years many friends, family members and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. I have over 6 years of experience with all dog breeds.

I have a fenced yard and a pool in the back yard. I am able to crate your dog if needed or per your preference. My lab is always ready to play or nap with your pup and will always keep them company!

“Love this lady. I feel instant connection and so my puppy. She was extremely nice and make sure we see our puppy everyday that we were gone which makes the kids happy . Her price is also reasonable. I have found a friend”
“Truly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! Cookie (our corgi) stayed with Katherine for two days and one night during a heat wave, and somehow he still came home relaxed, happy, and totally himself. She made sure he got the exercise he needs—even in the heat—and it really showed. Katherine’s home is beautiful—so warm, clean, and inviting—and her garden is just as lovely. It’s clear she puts care into everything she does, and that includes how she takes care of the dogs she watches. When I picked Cookie up, he was calm and content, like he’d had his own little vacation. It’s not easy to wear out a corgi, but Katherine managed it with total thoughtfulness. It’s such a relief to know Cookie was in good hands, and it honestly made my time away so much easier. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to her again. So grateful!”
“Mrs.Darlene was wonderful! Being a first time Rover user I was greatly impressed by all the love and cuddles my fur baby received while in her care. The daily photos and updates were a plus. Mrs. Darlene is a rockstar her personality is outstanding and a beautiful person who loves animals. I would definitely recommend and rebook in the future”
“Anthony is top-notch! He took great care of our King Charles Cavalier for four days. Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of our dog playing with his dog, Kai. He took our dog on many walks to the local park and played fetch with the dogs his backyard. Anthony was very flexible with pickup/drop off times and had everything ready to go when it was time to take our dog home. I highly recommend Anthony for dog boarding and we will be rebooking with him in a few weeks.”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Allyson take care of our pets overnight, and I couldn't be more pleased with her service! She looked after our cat, Willow, and our two dogs, Elsa (a German Shepherd) and Bruno (a Yorkie), and she did a fantastic job. Allyson was attentive and caring, making sure that each of our pets received the love and attention they deserve. She fed them on schedule and took them out for bathroom breaks without any issues. I really appreciated her dedication to their well-being. She even checked in on our hermit crabs! I highly recommend Allyson for anyone needing pet care services.

“It was our first time leaving our 10month old kitty, Mitchell all by himself, so we were really worried about that! Luckily we found and met Ella — She dropped by and took good care of Mitchell for a couple of days. She was really great with Mitchell considering the fact that he’s so cautious and shy. Ella did a good job following the instructions we wrote for Mitchell’s routine. Kept us updated too with everything. Very trustworthy & amazing with pets. Will definitely reach out again the next time we need a sitter for our fur baby.”

About: I’ve grown up around cats and have an adopted cat of my own, plus experience cat sitting for others both in their homes and mine.

I’m comfortable with feeding, litter boxes, playtime, cuddles, and keeping them company, and I’m always happy to follow their normal routine and let them set the pace.
“Jennifer has been helping my family with our new puppy for 2 weeks now by coming and giving him a daily potty/lunch/play break while we are at work and school.

Jennifer is kind, responsible, responsive, and reliable.”

About: My whole life I have been surrounded by all kinds of pets, but my love drifted towards dogs the most. I have owned 5 different breeds of dogs in my life; Labrador, Rottweiler, Pit-bull, Maltese, and Jack Russel Terrier. I have dealt with dogs of all sizes and never had an issue getting along with any of them. Before my Pit-bull was put down she got pregnant and gave birth to 12 baby pit-bulls, unfortunately we could not keep them all, but before they all given away I was given the responsibility to take care of the mother and the babies. Sadly only my Labrador and Terrier remains, but that never stopped me from caring for other dogs, currently I dog sit for my neighbors when they are either out of town or need a walker. Whether it's nonstop running at the park or soothing and relaxing at home I am 110% at your service! I work in a hybrid setting allowing more flexibility to take care of any needs of the pet and you! I consistently take care of animals throughout the week. I have a large fenced backyard so your animal can be free! There are no children or other animals in the household so my full attention can be on your baby.
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life ever since i can remember. I love all animals, however dogs have a special place in my heart. I am Deaf, and dogs seem to be very comfortable and protective with me as if they know about my deafness. I have taught my dogs basic tricks using sign language such as "sit, stay, friend (or paw shake), lay down". I absolutely love cuddling with my dogs and watching them be silly. I currently assist my older sister with baby sitting my autistic niece part time. I am available from 11am-2:00pm however if you need anything in the evenings, I am open to that as well, just feel free to ask! :) I always approach new dogs with calm and soft energy and will generally allow them to come to me and sniff. I am very patient to those who may feel anxious. I know how to read a dogs body language. I will always communicate with you about your pets needs.

“We had been let down by someone to take Hamz for a walk when I started my new job, we contacted Darlene and after a little chat we met up so Hamz could meet her and we could go over his specific medical issues. Hammy fell quick and hard for the wonderful Darlene and just a couple of days later she dropped in and took our baby boy for his lunch time walk, while seeing to his medical needs ahead of his operation. Hammy went for his operation on the Friday and Darlene asked to be updated over the weekend and rejoiced with us when he was doing so well. Darlene has been a wonderful addition to Hammys life and my husband and I can not thank her enough for the piece of mind she has given us. Thank you so much, you truly have made a wonderful difference to our lives.”

“This was our first time having Carolyn & Justin watch Bryce and it was great! They sent me pictures and kept me up to date with how he was doing. Bryce had a great time and was well taken care of! We will definitely be using them in the future and would recommend! Thanks again!”
“Very thankful we found Lupe for a last minute trip we planned. Our dog had a great time and was so happy when I picked him up. She has some small sweets who were super friendly, and we got picture updates while we were gone. Overall great experience!”
“Love this lady. I feel instant connection and so my puppy. She was extremely nice and make sure we see our puppy everyday that we were gone which makes the kids happy . Her price is also reasonable. I have found a friend”
“Anthony is top-notch! He took great care of our King Charles Cavalier for four days. Anthony sent lots of pictures and videos of our dog playing with his dog, Kai. He took our dog on many walks to the local park and played fetch with the dogs his backyard. Anthony was very flexible with pickup/drop off times and had everything ready to go when it was time to take our dog home. I highly recommend Anthony for dog boarding and we will be rebooking with him in a few weeks.”

“Randi and her family were absolutely amazing with my dog Bubba. Everyone was so patient and kind with him. Bubba was initially a bit timid, which made me nervous, but they gave him the time and space he needed. Seeing him open up more and more truly made me so happy and reassured. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and patience they showed him and would absolutely trust them again! ☺️”
“David did a fantastic job! He was very kind and took good care of our 3-month-old puppy. David brings with him a wealth of knowledge and has a very clean and dog friendly home. We trust using him again in the future.”
“Hunter, our Pom fur baby, was with Valerie for 2 weeks. He had an amazing time being taken out for walks and exploring new smells. Valerie sent us pics as well to give us updates. We will be repeat clients of hers.”
About: I've spent years caring for and training three dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. That experience has taught me how to adapt to each dog's unique needs, whether they thrive on play and adventure or prefer a calm, predictable environment. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adhering to allergy or dietary protocols. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any changes that may need extra care, so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well looked after. My goal is to provide a loving, structured environment where every dog feels comfortable, understood, and treated like family. I work part-time from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods. We spend time relaxing and playing in our fenced backyard, enjoy two daily walks, and, with the owner's permission, can visit the wonderful local Wardlaw Dog Park for safe, supervised socialization and exercise. I tailor each dog's day to their personality, energy level, and routine- whether they love active play, exploring outdoors, or simply staying close by for companionship and cuddles. My house has a fully fenced backyard with two separate outdoor areas, allowing dogs to have their own space if they prefer a quieter environment. There's also a private outdoor room where they can relax while still enjoying fresh air. Inside, the first floor is thoughtfully set up with dogs in mind. It includes a dedicated dog area with a cozy dog chair, comfortable beds, a crate (if your dog is crate-trained or prefers one), and plenty of toys to keep them engaged. I maintain a clean environment with a robot vacuum that vacuums and mops the floors twice a day.
