“Bobbi is very kind and calm. It’s very obvious that she loves animals and cares about their wellbeing. My puppy Abby had a great sleepover and she adjusted nicely to Bobbi and her home. We have already booked Abby’s next stay. I highly recommend boarding with Bobbi!”
“Julie is AWESOME! We were hesitant leaving our Belgian Mallinios/Border Collie mix with just anyone. Julie went above and beyond to have our pup feel at home and comfortable. She sent plenty of updates and communicated very throughly. We will definitely use her again and recommend her with others.”
“Erica was amazing! She kindly took on Bruce with no complaints even though he was a puppy. She kept me updated everyday and sent numerous photos for me to view which helped us stress less about leaving Bruce after just welcoming him into our family not too long ago. Erica is well prepped with toys, snacks, and play areas for any cat or dog and I highly recommend her for your pup or kitty!”
“Lori was a pleasure to work with. She sent us photos of our dog while we we gone. Our dog appeared to have enjoyed his visit with her. We will use Lori again, and recommend her.”
“Jennifer is always so good with our dogs. We wouldn’t want them to go anywhere else. Always appreciate her thoughtfulness to keep us updated on how they’re doing and her loving spirit. Highly recommended her services!!”
“A+++ amazing. I haven't used Rover before, and definitely never left with someone who wasn't friends or family, so I wasn't quite sure how he'd be, and I was afraid of worst case scenarios. Heather put all my fears to rest immediately on meeting her. She has a way with animals, and a calm and reassuring demeanor that both I and George appreciated so much. George isn't much of an "adventure" dog, so when I go on my next adventure, I know exactly who I will contact to care for him!”

“Sydney and her family are so great! They are very communicative and engaging while keeping our Duke. I will definitely be using her again when we are in need of boarding in the area!”
“Zorro's time with Sarah was incredible! He had a wonderful time. She was very conscientious to make him feel loved and comfortable. Sarah knew this was his first experience with a new sitter and sent pictures and videos to show how happy and content he was. His appetite was good and he slept well through each night. I highly recommend Sarah and will schedule with her again when needed.”
About: I am an animal lover. I have three dogs of my own, all small rescues. I love big dogs but can’t have them in our tiny house. I am a full time nurse practitioner but take care of animals on my days off. I know how hard it is to find loyal and trustworthy people to care for my animals. That is why I wanted to provide this service. Also, walking and playing with dogs and cats is fun. We also travel and are interested in keeping dogs during travel. My husband and I work together to make sure our dogs are outside regularly throughout the day. I will only be taking appointments on my days off, so my schedule is a little sporadic. For overnight stays, I need to have walked your dogs at least 4-5 times and/or completed a trial of doggy day care to make sure your dog gets along with my personal animals.
“Sarah responded quickly and concisely, was pleasant, and took great care of my dog. I almost felt bad taking the dog away from her 4 year old kid. Will book with Sarah again if she is available next time I need a dog sitter.”

“Daniela is amazing, she took such good care of my pup Stella, made sure she got great exercise, sent the cutest pictures, and was great at communicating with me during her drop ins! 10/10 recommend and would trust her to watch my dog anytime.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 7 years, ranging from the furry to the scaled. I’ve had to the privilege of being able to take care of fur babies when their family is away, cause I know if it was me I’d want the best care for them.
About: I am owned by numerous cats which has afforded me to experience the vast personalities of cats. I am not intimidated by them but do respect their idiosyncrasies. Giving cats medication and toe nail trims is an art that I am proficient in. (I have a few scars but still have all my fingers!)

About: Hello! My name is Jalayne and I am an animal caretaker! I do this because I Love it! It's more than the money for me, for me it's about getting to spend time with the animals, give the pet owners a peace of mind, and making the situation much easier for everyone. I currently have 3 senior dogs of my own, 2 young dogs and my husband has a puppy that I look after as well. We have 2 inside kitties and 1 bunny too! We have 4 outside we take care of also. We even have had chickens! I love all kinds of animals and I am willing to care for any kind you have! In the past I lightly volunteered at an animal shelter, wildlife rehabilitation center, and even worked with a groomer as a bather for a few weeks! I would love to tell you more about myself and my experience if you like so please don't hesitate to messege me anytime. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! I currently work at the school at the moment so I'm usually free any time as the hours are minimal. I'll soon be a stay at home parent again so I'll be home 100%. On Sundays I go to church in the mornings and maybe out to eat afterwards. I also have church services on Wednesday evenings. I have a very large fenced yard with a gate. I shut the gate to keep in very large dogs but if I board a small dog I'd leash him or her. But we are working on making the gaps covered since my dogs are so small as well. When the pets are in my care I make sure to update you with some photos every once in a while. And I will always contact you first if I have any questions! I am home majority of my day so most of my time is available just for this! I love meeting new pets of all kinds! I have a very big yard that I let dogs get some energy out and my kids will constantly play with them if they like! I'm able to kennel them if that's what you prefer and I try to go by what the owners regularly do to make it easier on the pet.
“Erica was awesome! Took care of inside and outside kitties very well and put me completely at ease that they were being well cared for and loved. Our first time working together but definitely not our last. VERY much appreciated!!”
About: I am new to sitting for kitties and I’ve only had three weeks of experience with them so do not pay attention to the years of experience because that is NOT true, but I have one of my own who I’ve had for four years! Her name is Pickles and she is my entire world and I could never see my life without her. I am experienced with more feisty cats because I’ve been clawed many times with my cat so it does not phase me. With more shy cats I like to give them their space and let them come to me if they choose!
About: My parents have taken care of 40 cats, and counting, in the last 28 years. This included four dogs that questioned their own relationship to these critters. It’s safe to say I’ve experienced the wide range, just from family care alone, to care for your pet. In addition, I’ve worked as a Kennel Technician in a boarding facility and have customer experience with high-risk canines and environment training sessions. I’m openly available. Weekends will specify accordingly and I can accommodate! Check my calendar for more information. If you need another time, then let me know! Knowing your canine can trust their handler is important, no matter the situation. In my zone of safety, I ensure clients understand that I’m wanting a safe time too.
About: Dogs and cats have always been drawn to me, whether my own, childhood pets or ones I just meet. Growing up our family pets always slept on my bed at night. I get the feeling they sense that they're safe and loved. My little girl, Maddie, was a rescue from the pound. She tested for heartworm and her human gave her up. She was five. She's been under treatment for heart murmur for 5 years, and is now experiencing bladder & colon obstruction. But her personality is just as happy and perky as ever. I had a cat that was with me for 23 years, who had 5 litters before I could get her in for spay, she was always pregnant before I could get her done! She was an outside cat until the last five years when I moved to a condo and she became a couch queen. I've had one large dog and 2 small dogs as an adult, and never boarded any of them ever. They went with me, or I had a friend stay with them. I'm retired and had a part time job driving for retirement home residents on the weekend to the store or church. I stopped working once the pandemic forced the facility to lock down & all off-property trips were prohibited. That was June 2020. I moved from Dallas to the lake and am ready for part time work. My little girl has the run of the place, she's got a bed, her own crocheted afghan on the couch, and a towel at the foot of the bed. She takes several meds for her condition. Has her nails trimmed & teeth cleaned. She has a big selection of food and treats. She takes me on long walks twice a day, and stays in the yard if I'm outside working. She hardly leaves my side. I have an rv so she can go with me when I travel. I've taken care of friends dogs when they travel.
About: I've had a dog since I was in 3rd grade. I have had a connection with dogs ever since. I think they are great animals and great companions. I like each individual dog's personality because they are all different. We homeschool our kids and take care of our three dogs on a daily basis. They get two walks a day (the dogs and kids 🤣) We do not have a fenced yard, however, our dogs go out numerous times a day with our supervision to run around and play. We take them on a minimum of 2 walks a day. We have older kids in the house who love dogs as well. We treat our dogs like our kids and will do the same for your fur baby.
About: I have grown up and taken care of both dogs and cats my whole life. I was about 10 years old when I took an active role taking care of our pets. During marriage life, we’ve always had pets (dogs, cats and a tortoise). I also volunteered from 2015 to 2020 at a wildlife rehabilitation organization where I performed husbandry for wildlife and a colony of feral cats. In addition, I volunteered for a non-profit pet rescue facility called “Frosted Faces” where they rescue older dogs and cats. I fed, bathed, played with and cleaned after them. I also volunteered at an Aussie rescue where I interacted with the dogs and cats to help them be more comfortable with people and their present environment. I also bathed dogs, fed and cleaned after the cats. In addition, I cleaned up the outside area where the goats on the property were. I have a very calm presence around animals and never met one that I couldn’t handle. Please keep me in mind for any help you may need with your furry ones. We have recently moved here to the Cedar Creek Lake area. I’m available most days as my three daughters are now attending college and I haven’t pursued employment in the area yet. We have two dogs and a cat. We have an outdoor fence for our dogs but they’re inside most of the time. Our cat is always indoors. I’m very flexible to the needs of every client’s routine with their pets.
“Charlene is terrific! So patient and kind with my two crazy dogs. Couldn’t ask for a better, more loving person to check in on them. She has been more than willing to spend time with my large dog who has terrible anxiety and isn’t great with strangers but he took to her immediately which is how I knew I made the right choice when choosing her as a sitter. So thankful we found her!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am not available for on boarding in my home yet due to my animals. I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.

“We received our boy back happy and tired! Definitely recommend we received every other hour and made us feel worry free throughout the day. Will definitely bring our boy back soon! 💕”
About: My journey with pets began at the age of 8 when I welcomed my first furbaby, Fifi, a miniature schnauzer, into my life. Over the past 13 years, she's been my constant companion, now a cherished senior at 13. A dozen years later, I welcomed Letty, an energetic American bully, into our family. Letty's love for play contrasts beautifully with Fifi's penchant for sleep, offering the best of both worlds. My experience extends beyond pet ownership; having worked at an animal clinic, I'm adept at a range of caregiving tasks from cleaning and feeding to administering medication, injections, and grooming needs like nail clipping and anal gland care. I currently work for Amazon in the HR department, I work 4 days out of the week (SUN-WED) from 6:30am to 5:00pm. I am flexible so please let me know what is needed so we could work something out. I offer pet sitting services with a fenced yard and two furry companions to keep your pets company. I am flexible and can accommodate any special needs your pets may have. Prior to their stay, I request a list of your pet's likes and dislikes to ensure their comfort. Additionally, I prioritize exercise, provide nail trims if necessary, and ensure they always have access to water and a comfortable environment. I use to work in an animal clinic for 2 years so if any medication is needed to be given or injections, I am more than happy to do it. Your pet's well-being is my top priority.

About: I've always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets has been a big part of my life. From dogs and cats to chickens and rabbits, I have experience providing attentive care, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, administering medication, or simply offering snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

I take the time to provide personalized care that keeps tails wagging and purrs coming!! As of right now, I have plenty of availability for petsitting with no other conflicts in my schedule. I am available at short notice as well. I have several unfenced acres for pets to play and explore on! My pets stay on our property but always have leashes for the babies that need it! Our dogs and cat are free to go indoors or outdoors at their leisure. I also have a room available to separate pets if needed. I have the room to bring in crates if your baby uses one.
About: I have years of experience volunteering at the Humane Society, caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities.

Every dog I watch gets love, attention, and plenty of playtime, making them feel happy and at home while you’re away. Working in roofing sales allows me to create my own schedule, giving me plenty of time to care for your pups.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for the almost 7 years. My husband-who also works with me- has been taking care and sitting pets for the last 12 years. We have a beautiful, and energetic kelpie mix named Biscuit, and British shorthair named Eggs. Health and safety are a main priority to both of us. We like to make sure that all dogs in our care are well hydrated, and that no dog is in a situation that makes them nervous. We always make sure to provide the best care for each individual, because this isn’t just an animal, it’s a member of your family, and we know that you would want the best care for your family like we would. Currently I work part time. I am able to look after your wonderful pets full time all days of the week if given a 7 days notice of when services are needed. By ensuring that all equipment is properly secured with taking walks or engaging outdoors with environment or other animals, and that any messes are cleaned, whether it be on the animal or the places they are staying in.
“I can't say enough good things about Grace Ann! She faced parking issues, last minute schedule changes and bad weather, but came through for me and did a great job! Luna loved her and was a very happy puppy! Grace Ann really went above and beyond!”

My experience extends beyond pet ownership; having worked at an animal clinic, I'm adept at a range of caregiving tasks from cleaning and feeding to administering medication, injections, and grooming needs like nail clipping and anal gland care. I currently work for Amazon in the HR department, I work 4 days out of the week (SUN-WED) from 6:30am to 5:00pm. I am flexible so please let me know what is needed so we could work something out. I offer pet sitting services with a fenced yard and two furry companions to keep your pets company. I am flexible and can accommodate any special needs your pets may have. Prior to their stay, I request a list of your pet's likes and dislikes to ensure their comfort. Additionally, I prioritize exercise, provide nail trims if necessary, and ensure they always have access to water and a comfortable environment. I use to work in an animal clinic for 2 years so if any medication is needed to be given or injections, I am more than happy to do it. Your pet's well-being is my top priority.

About: My name is Jessica and I am a graduate from Tarleton State University with a degree in Biomedical Science and a Pre-Vet concentration. I was raised on a farm consisting of many different animals such as sheep, goats, horses, mules, chickens dogs and cats! I clearly love all types of animals and work very well with them. I’m super patient and I’m experienced in handling aggressive/anxious dogs and even those spicier cats. All my life I’ve lived with at least 3 dogs at a time. Currently I care for 5 dogs in total - I live in a ranch - so unfortunately I won’t be able to care for any here at my home. However, I am committed to providing you the best service and ease of mind when caring for your pets anywhere else! I currently work at Equine Veterinary Services in Terrell and plan on going to vet school in the next year - animals are my everything. You can set your worries aside knowing that I’m dedicated to making sure your pets are safe, healthy and happy in my care! While I’m at a clients home, I make sure I know the boundaries set and the reassure them that I am only there for taking care of their pup. I work at vet clinic in Terrell, with a varying work schedule, but I will 100% let you be aware of when I am or am not available to watch your pet! I will do my very best to have my calendar updated with my current work schedule as soon as I know it! While your pet is in my care, at my house, I will do my absolute best to keep their routine the same as if they were at their own home. I have a front yard that they can stretch their legs and run around. When I’m staying at my clients home I will always treat it with respect and professionalism. I will update you if anything happens (messes, something breaking, injury, etc.) and I always take pictures of your pets to send while y’all are away!

About: We have always had pets in our home since I was a baby. Cats, dogs, birds, lizards. They have all lived happy, loved lives with us. I am currently working part time, so can fit walking or sitting into my schedule easily. Do not mind the travel time to take care of your loved one. We have 3 well behaved, well loved dogs who are good at socializing with new friends. We take the dogs on 2 walks a day minimum and spend a few hours outside playing and walking in the sun. We do have a kennel if needed and if staying overnight, the kennel stays in my room with me. I will adhere to the owners wishes as far as feedings go.
About: I've had a dog since I was in 3rd grade. I have had a connection with dogs ever since. I think they are great animals and great companions. I like each individual dog's personality because they are all different. We homeschool our kids and take care of our three dogs on a daily basis. They get two walks a day (the dogs and kids 🤣) We do not have a fenced yard, however, our dogs go out numerous times a day with our supervision to run around and play. We take them on a minimum of 2 walks a day. We have older kids in the house who love dogs as well. We treat our dogs like our kids and will do the same for your fur baby.
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life! As an adult I currently have 5 dogs of my own and 7 cats (mostly barn cats with extreme spoiling). I also run a full on farm with all the animals and have two kiddos I homeschool along with a friends kid. I have an extreme passion for animals and pay close attention to detail so I will notice if anything seems off with your furry family members! I am a homeschool and stay at home mom who farms. My schedule is typically open and can easily be changed to fit needs of those awesome critters! I will make sure that if they are kenneled they get adequate time outside of it and that it is clean prior to putting them up. I will also make sure all the food and water dishes are full or left as you instruct them to be.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am not available for on boarding in my home yet due to my animals. I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.
About: While I too enjoy traveling I know how it can be when you can’t take your 4 legged family member(s) with you. I have 2 of my own Lionhead )fluff ball) bunnies of my own. I love fur babies of all breeds, shapes and sizes. While I don't have a dog or cat due to my hubbies allergies. I do love them all. Most of my friends or family have dog(s)/cat(s) and they all seem to love me and want my attention when I visit family and friends. When I 1st moved to Dallas my friend needed someone to let her dog out a couple times of day due to her long work hours. I was there to let Jackie out to potty and socialize. I became his Auntie Robin. Now every time I go to visit my friend he thinks I'm there for him and walk and play time. Of course I do this as he is so loveable I'm happy to go for a walk and play with my fur friend while visiting with my friend. I recently cared for my neighbors large and small dogs, 2 cats and a bird on a last minute need while they went away for the holiday weekend. I did home visit twice a day as requested. I would spend 30-45 minutes at the home as the owners requested. The dogs knew me & I was like family. They were happy to see me. I feed them, played with them, let them out to potty and gave appropriate treats for good behavior. My last day they dogs laid on top of me like I was their family. The dogs also listened to me when it was time to kennel them even though they didn't want to go in they did. I currently volunteer for the past 12 years with a domestic rabbit rescue. I go out to the rescue when I can to help, feed, care for special needs bunnies, clean up them yard/x-pens where the bunnies are housed. I give medication when needed. Including medication by means of oral, drops and shots. Including helping with the rescue I also foster bunnies in my home in addition to my 2 fur babies of lionhead bunnies. One of which can be seen in my pictures. Pet sitting/house sitting is my primary job. I enjoy spoiling my pets along with my clients pets. This makes my clients able to enjoy holiday or work trips without worry. As I make sure to treat the clients pet like my own and give lots of love and care like their human. Every pet not matter if my pet, friends, family or a client is an important part of my life when I’m with them. I make sure they know I’m there for them and I will love and care for them at all times.

“Bobbi is very kind and calm. It’s very obvious that she loves animals and cares about their wellbeing. My puppy Abby had a great sleepover and she adjusted nicely to Bobbi and her home. We have already booked Abby’s next stay. I highly recommend boarding with Bobbi!”
“Julie is AWESOME! We were hesitant leaving our Belgian Mallinios/Border Collie mix with just anyone. Julie went above and beyond to have our pup feel at home and comfortable. She sent plenty of updates and communicated very throughly. We will definitely use her again and recommend her with others.”
“Lori was a pleasure to work with. She sent us photos of our dog while we we gone. Our dog appeared to have enjoyed his visit with her. We will use Lori again, and recommend her.”
“A+++ amazing. I haven't used Rover before, and definitely never left with someone who wasn't friends or family, so I wasn't quite sure how he'd be, and I was afraid of worst case scenarios. Heather put all my fears to rest immediately on meeting her. She has a way with animals, and a calm and reassuring demeanor that both I and George appreciated so much. George isn't much of an "adventure" dog, so when I go on my next adventure, I know exactly who I will contact to care for him!”

“We were looking for someone close by that we could trust our senior golden with. We did a meet and greet and trial sleep over. It went great! Kimberly truly loves taking care of dogs and has made it a family affair. Her son loved our dog and vice versa. Our golden came home stress free, but was a bit exhausted from all the fun she had. Highly recommend!!”
