“Rochelle watched my dog over the weekend while I was out of town. She replied quickly, kept me updated with photos and videos, her home was very clean and my dog also returned very clean! Her personal dogs were also very well behaved and calm, no worries about them behaving badly toward my dog. Her and her husband were very friendly and did a good job managing my shepherd. I’d be happy to board with them again!”

“Sheila was fabulous! I was nervous leaving my sweet puppy for the first time and for a whole week at that but she made me feel so comfortable the moment I dropped my Charli girl off. She sent videos throughout the week and Charli was a very happy girl when I picked her up. 10/10 recommend!”
“I would highly recommend Anthony. From the beginning he was very responsive and thorough. He was flexible working around my schedule and did a great job with my dogs. 5 stars all around.”

“If you had a 10 rating we would give it! Richard and Stephanie took exceptional care of our dogs. They had great communication with us throughout our trip. I can’t say enough great things”
“Lauren & Justin were beyond AMAZING!!! Charlotte did not want to leave! Lauren was in contact contact sending updates & photos of our pup while we were away on vacation! They even agreed to meet prior to her stay, so that when we dropped her off she felt safe and at home? We hope to get to use their services again...but know there is a good chance our girl will try to stay home with them for forever? Huge thanks again to Lauren & Justin for your care of our lil puppy!”
“Dayna is amazing! She has been available on short notice every time. The dogs are happy and excited to go to her home and I don't have to worry about them. Thank you Dayna for being awesome....and you entire family!”
“Nancy was an MVP taking care of my dog. Nancy was super kind with my dog, she walked my dog as she needed, also my dog was able to stay in Nancy's furniture like the sofa and the bed, my dog enjoys those places. I highly recommend her to sit your pet.”
“Josh was amazing! My boarding fell through last minute and he immediately responded. He kept me updated with how things were going with pictures. Will definitely use him again! Thank you for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Samantha is wonderful with animals! My pup had so much fun with her dogs. She always sent update text & videos of my pup. He was in really good care & I will book again.”
“Natalia was extremely attentive to both of my dogs! She would always reach out if she noticed something slightly off and would provide alternatives to make sure my dogs were comfortable with their stay. I would most definitely come back to Natalia to my pet sitting needs and I trust her with my whole heart!”
“Our Biscuit loves Jessica. He gets excited when we pull up to drop him off when we go out of town. She is great at keeping us updated and taking amazing care of our pup. We have done some last minute request and she had been so amazing every time. Thankful for someone we can trust to love our pup while we are away.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Tabitha! She was able to accommodate my puppy on very short notice, and even picked him up, which was such a huge help. From the moment she took him in, I could tell he was in great hands. She made him feel completely at home, which gave me so much peace of mind. What really stood out were the thoughtful daily updates—pictures, little notes about how he was doing, and reassurance that he was happy and comfortable. It’s clear that Tabitha truly cares about the dogs she watches, and her home is the perfect environment for any pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, loving dog sitter. Thank you, Tabitha!”
“I can't thank Aldrin and Teresa enough for taking such excellent care of my baby, Alphy, on such short notice. I had to make a last-minute day trip to Dallas for a family emergency, and they made the entire process so easy and stress-free. I was a bit concerned that Alphy would be a handful since he’s such a high energy dog, but Aldrin and Teresa are incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating, and Alphy had a blast playing and burning off all that energy! When I picked him up, he was happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. It’s evident that they truly care for the dogs they watch. I highly recommend Aldrin and Teresa to anyone looking for a reliable, loving place for their pet.”
“My puppy was in wonderful hands with Jill. The moment I met her I could instantly tell she has such love for her animals and the animals she watches. She went above and beyond to take care of Sace. Her doggies are also wonderful! They were very patient with my hyper puppy and helped to entertain him. I would 100% rebook.”
“Lauren and her family loved on our Zoe girl like their own and made the time away from her much easier!! We were pleasantly impressed by her thorough updates and the attention she gave to her. For her first time away from us, Zoe had some setbacks and separation anxiety and Lauren handled it effortlessly. We highly recommend this sitter!! Your pet will not only be in good hands, but she will send helpful pictures and updates to ease the mind of their humans as well!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs of different breeds and personalities, including my four dogs at home — two dachshunds, a yorkie, and a schnauzer. Over the years, I’ve been responsible for many aspects of their daily care, from feeding and walking to bathing, grooming, and administering medication when needed. Caring for several dogs at once has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize each dog’s unique needs and behavior. I genuinely love animals and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also have experience helping family and friends with pet sitting, which has helped me become confident handling dogs in different environments and routines. My schedule is very flexible right now since I am home from college for the summer, so my availability is pretty wide open. I am available most days and can easily adjust to different pet care schedules, whether that’s daily visits, walks, feeding times, or overnight stays. The only times I am unavailable are Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:30–9:00 due to soccer practice. Outside of that, I have plenty of time and energy to dedicate to caring for pets and making sure they get the attention and care they need. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my everyday life. At home, I help take care of my four dogs and my cat by feeding them, walking them, bathing them, cleaning up after them, administering medication when needed, and making sure they always feel loved and comfortable. Having multiple pets has taught me how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and routines while still giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I also have experience caring for other people’s pets in their homes through pet sitting for family and friends. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and to follow their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, walks, medication, or simply giving them company and affection, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while their owners are away

About: I don’t just take care of the family furry paw members. I watch over the whole house. I make sure everything is taken care of while they are away.

It also depends if I’m staying at the house or just making stops in between the days. I have a fenced yard with a patio that is separate from the grass area. I have a doggy door so they can go in and out if they know how to use one. If not they learn while I have them in my care. My fur babies love playing with other dogs. If I’m at the clients home, they get lots of love and attention. I make sure they get their playing time in multiple times a day before bed time. If it’s not to hot I do try to squeeze a walk in even if it’s a small one.

We also have a fenced in backyard. I also have no children so my animals are my babies.
About: For 3 years, I’ve consistently cared for my friend’s dog that include daily walks, feedings, and playtime. Reliable, loving, and always treating pets like family.

In clients’ homes, I follow their routines closely specifically feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: Hi there! My name is Kenzie, and I’m an experienced dog lover and caretaker with a passion for providing dogs with the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’ve spent several years working at a doggie daycare, where I learned how to manage various dog personalities and ensure a safe, fun environment for all pups. I’ve also had plenty of experience dog and house sitting, so I understand the importance of keeping your furry friend comfortable and happy while you’re away. I live on a farm, so I’m used to being around animals, and I’m comfortable walking dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have my own eight-year-old husky named Kylo, who is friendly, calm, and loves meeting new dog friends. I also have a four-year-old son who keeps us busy and playful!

About: I grew up on a ranch caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, and cows, which taught me responsibility, patience, and compassion. I’ve always had pets in my home, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I have pet-sitting experience and take pride in providing the best care possible, as if it were my own. Above all, I have a deep passion for animals of all kinds, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine alongside my current apprenticeship as an equine farrier. While my schedule can vary week to week, I am very intentional about the time I commit to each pet and only accept bookings I know I can fully prioritize. I am committed to following each client’s instructions and routine, and to being respectful, careful, and safe while caring for your pet in your home.

“Rochelle watched my dog over the weekend while I was out of town. She replied quickly, kept me updated with photos and videos, her home was very clean and my dog also returned very clean!

I’d be happy to board with them again!”

“I can't thank Aldrin and Teresa enough for taking such excellent care of my baby, Alphy, on such short notice. I had to make a last-minute day trip to Dallas for a family emergency, and they made the entire process so easy and stress-free. I was a bit concerned that Alphy would be a handful since he’s such a high energy dog, but Aldrin and Teresa are incredibly kind, attentive, and accommodating, and Alphy had a blast playing and burning off all that energy! When I picked him up, he was happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. It’s evident that they truly care for the dogs they watch. I highly recommend Aldrin and Teresa to anyone looking for a reliable, loving place for their pet.”
