“Communication was absolutely impeccable from start to finish, and I always felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. She truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of, comfortable, and happy. It’s clear that Shelley genuinely care about the dogs she looks after. I highly recommend anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog daycare!”
“Loki found his new best friends with Justin and Echo! They provided the best care for my pup and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him. Will be definitely booking with him again 😊😊”
“We could not be more happy with our puppy's stay with Heather!! She kept us up to date with pictures and messages the whole time Ivy was in her care and treated her as if she was her own dog! Very flexible with drop off and pick up which was extremely helpful to us as we were traveling and our plans changed a little bit. I could not imagine a better experience!”
“Jennifer & her family have been amazing with looking after our girl Yara, and making her feel right at home in their house. She has been flexible with drop off & pick up times, and also keeping us well informed with pics and videos. She has also been accommodating to our dog’s particular behavior needs (food aggression) and adjusted so everyone stays safe and comfortable! We already have more dates on the calendar with her and will be booking more!”
“Lexie did an amazing job with our Yara! Understanding her specific care needs for her weekend stay. She even went above and beyond and gave her a bath! Which she needed as a farm dog. Will be booking again”
“Jerry is an amazing dog sitter. He was able to take my large difficult rescue dog last minute and even got her to eat while sitting her. She never eats when I am away from her. He went out of his way to give her chicken in her food and she even gave him hugs before we left when I came to pick her up💕”
“If you’re looking for a top tier 5 star dog sitter then Joe is your man. He took the best care of our pup while we were out of town. Joe sent us multiple videos of our pup and how well she was doing her entire stay with him. I can’t recommend him enough.”
“Shelby answered all of my questions quickly when prepping to drop off Finley and was very kind! I wish we would have gotten pictures and/or status updates while she was there, but I understand people have busy lives :). Finley was happy and healthy at pickup, which is the most important thing! We would definitely recommend Shelby and book again.”
“Tracy was amazing with our dog who can be very anxious. This was the first time ever that we have picked him up from boarding that he was completely calm and didn’t seem stressed at all. Tracy sent pictures and communicated all weekend. I would recommend Tracy to anyone. Our little guy was treated with care and love just like he was one of their own.”
“Susan did an amazing job helping us through the whole process. She kept us up to date about our dogs status and even sent us pictures! I highly recommend her!!! She has her own crates and recommends bringing their favorite thing for comfort. Love that!!”
“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.”
“Bailee’s communication is phenomenal! She responds fairly quick and gave us constant picture updates of our fur baby’s progress. Ozzy seemed to have made himself at home and had fun there because he came back sleepy, which is good for us! :)”

“Anniyah was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Hexton! From start to finish, she was incredibly communicative with me, providing regular updates that kept my mind completely at ease while I was away.

I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance.

I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day.

As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.
About: I have always loved cats, and had always been around them in some capacity growing up; Had outside cats, inside cats, befriended neighborhood cats and fed strays. I knew at a very young age that cats were just different and you needed to earn their trust and respect at their pace. I started working professionally with cats at my first veterinary job back in 2008, and it made me love them so much more. My first cat I adopted as an adult was a 16 year old tabby named Lincoln who was about to be euthanized for being bullied by the other 9 young cats at home. I said "absolutely not!" And I took him home, loved him, learned so much more about cats and he lived to be about 20 years old. I started working with rescues, with TNR projects, raising litters of kittens. I am just passionate about them. I'm patient, I understand their behavior and their language. I'm comfortable administering medications in any form (oral, injectable, etc.). Im comfortable caring for healthy cats, as well as those with special needs, and of course hospice kitties as well. I'm also always happy and ready to help with kittens. I have a deep understanding of feline medicine and will always be passionate about feline health.
About: I've had cats since I was very young. I had a brief hiatus from cats in my 20s when I had dogs that weren't super friendly to cats, but I now have two adorable cats that I love very much! Would love to spend some time making friends with and caring for your cats.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the energy and presence I bring around animals. I’m naturally calm, patient, and attentive, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable pretty quickly, even if they’re shy or anxious. I’ve spent a lot of time around animals and genuinely enjoy being with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just sitting with them and keeping them company. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, so I can adjust how I care for them based on their personality. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and staying active. I structure my schedule so I have the time and flexibility to give each pet the attention and care they need. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. Whether I’m in your home or caring for them day-to-day, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m Ebony, a 20 year old college student born and raised in Texas, living in the Longview area. I’ve always loved working with animals and in the past I’ve had four dogs and three cats. But I currently have two dogs and one cat at home! I also used to volunteer regularly at the Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center, so I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds and personalities. I’m quick to respond and always happy to help with last minute bookings, walks, and check-ins. I’d love to connect with local pet owners and help care for your pets like they’re my own! I’m a full time online student at Lamar University, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. I walk, feed, entertain, and love my own pets every day, and I’ve taken in stray animals in tough situations for years. I’m great with energetic or hyperactive pets and love keeping them happy and engaged through play and attention.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. Also I’be work at different vet clinics through my life.so I have the experience to take care of your animals in best way possible. I’m currently a bather at my clinic so if baths and nail trims is something you want added on that is something I can do for you as well. I do work during the week but have weekends off and if it close to work during the week I can stop by during my breaks to play and let them out to potty. I have my own furry babies that are super friendly to play with if you want that environment or they can have my divided attention.
“Suzanne was great! She worked with me for just the right schedule of stop-in visits and overnights to take care of my anxious cat. Watered plants and generally looked after everything. Made the trip better knowing she was here.”
About: I have had a dog or cat in my life for over 5 decades. My parents raised dogs and taught me early in life how to care for pets. My heart has always belonged to some sort of pet from rabbits, guinea pigs to dogs and cats. Big dogs, smaller dogs and everything in between. I have loved them all. I am confident in my love and ability to care for all pets and appreciate my time with them. I feel pets are an essential part of my every day life. I am a Doggie Mama to 3 Basset hounds and a Rat Terrier who thinks he is a Basset hound. Our life is really blessed and very good and we wouldn't change a thing.
About: I’ve fostered several stray cats and kittens over the years and currently have two male cats of my own. I’ve also completed drop-in visits for cats through other pet care platforms, giving me experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, routines, and needs. Through fostering and pet sitting, I’ve learned how to work with social cats, shy cats, former strays, and cats that simply prefer to do things on their own terms. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, keeping litter boxes clean, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm environment while their owners are away. One thing I’ve learned from years of caring for cats is that it’s a cat’s world and we’re just living in it. Every cat is different, and I enjoy taking the time to earn their trust, respect their boundaries, and provide care that matches their individual personality.

“Dena has a love for dogs i wish more people had! She took care of my puppy for his first visit to somewhere else besides his home and i couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. She should definitely be considered for any dog as a sitter”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, she is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. My dog is always well taken care of, happy, and clearly loved while I’m away.I received regular updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pet, but she exceeded all expectations. I will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone dependable and compassionate!”
“Very pleased with the care Lady received from Susan. Multiple friends were there and Lady seemed to have enjoyed her stay. We highly recommend Susan if you have a need for daycare or boarding.”
“Shelby is a wonderful pet sitter who took great care of our furry girl. We had a great first impression when we met her. Amora is usually shy and doesn’t interact much, but I was surprised when I heard that she was playing with Shelby’s kids. I’m so glad that Amora’s first experience went smoothly. I will definitely use her services again.”

About: Hi! My name is Lexie. i have two dogs, Astro and Stark. Those two boys are what got me into the pet care environment.

I am a freelance dog trainer and groom my own dogs so if your pooch needs a little spiffy up while you’re gone don’t worry!

I am a dog trainer so I am available to play with the dogs and let them out most of the day. I have 1 acre fenced in.

About: I am currently a student of the University of Texas Arlington working on my Master’s degree in Social Work and I am hoping to make some extra money to help pay for some of the college expenses. A few fun facts about me are that I love playing sports, having movie nights, and cooking. Growing up, I had a ton of animals and currently I don’t have any pets so I miss loving on all the fur babies. I love spending time loving and playing with dogs and I believe this is a great opportunity for me to be able to do that, make a little extra money, and get some exercise in as well. I am working full time from 8:30am to 5pm, however, I would be open to doing a walk and check in during my lunch hour and anytime before or after work. When the pets are in my home, they are allowed to roam free and play all they want as long as they are potty trained. In the clients home I respectfully abide by the owners instructions left for me.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Now that I have my own home, our pets are truly our babies. I love going on daily walks, having dedicated playtime, and giving all the attention, snuggles, and care they need. Every pet that stays with me is treated like family—safe, loved, and spoiled just like our own! As a stay-at-home mom, I have plenty of time throughout the day to watch over your pup, play with them, and make sure they’re getting constant love and attention. You can trust me with your pup. I provide a cozy guest room for their stay and a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe playtime and potty breaks. Every pet in our home is treated like family and receives lots of love and attention.

Very friendly and hospitable, and Mimi was well taken care of. We will definitely use Kimberly again when we are traveling thru the area.”

I also do not mind any house keeping you may need while I'm there such as watering your plants, laundry, or anything similar. I have five years of experience with all types of animals and do not discriminate on any kind. 🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰🦔🐸🐢🦎🐍🐟🐠 Message me today and see for yourself if I'm a good fit for you and your pets.

“We were very pleased with Hannah and our first time using Rover! She handled our big bully like a pro!! Hate that it rained so much they didn’t get to enjoy the dog park!”
About: i’ve been having dogs since i was 6 and i love them and i currently have one named darky, a small dog who’s hyper i’m currently working part time from 5am-9am sometimes i stay till 1:30pm, but i’ll be free from 10am-7pm monday-friday and weekends whenever :) i keep my dog inside since i have no fence and i make sure my dog isn’t getting to any trouble, and i keep him company
About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.

I have had pets of my own since 2014, and all my pups are seniors now - they have a special place in my heart! I also have two sweet young cats and would love to check on your feline kiddos. I am a full time mother so I am readily available for drop in visits, overnights, and walks. Please note that my infant son will be with me during all visits. I will of course assume responsibility for my kiddo being safe around your pets, but please be mindful of your pets' temperament with children when booking! My ideal scenario when caring for your pets is to adopt their current routine - I find that keeps them the happiest while their people are away. I'm happy to visit on whatever schedule is best for you, and I'm happy to do overnights as needed.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was about 10, I’m 21 now. My major is Pre-Veterinary because I’ve had a love for animals and dream of being a vet since I was 7. I have a cat of my own, Luna, and she’s my world. I treat her like a baby so I would love to share the same love to your fur babies! I work full-time as a manager at Walmart, and I’m a full time college student (online). I’m pretty fair and understanding with scheduling, as long as you reach out in advance. If my schedule doesn’t fit for you, I do not mind adjusting to accommodate you and your fur babies! I also don’t have an issue with last minute planning, just be mindful of scheduling issues or certain questions I asks in regards of the service you’ve requested! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the energy and presence I bring around animals. I’m naturally calm, patient, and attentive, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable pretty quickly, even if they’re shy or anxious. I’ve spent a lot of time around animals and genuinely enjoy being with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or just sitting with them and keeping them company. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, so I can adjust how I care for them based on their personality. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and staying active.

About: Former zookeeper with 12 years of experience. I grew up riding horses before I could walk and having a variety of dogs and reptiles and birds as pets. I am comfortable taking care of most domestic, exotic and farm animals. I can give oral and basic injectable medications. I am currently working part time remotely so my schedule is very wide open. I am generally a night owl but I enjoy early morning walks as well. I currently live in an rv park close to Lake Cherokee. I am comfortable taking care of your babies in my space; however, it is an RV so space is very limited and I have no fenced in area. As for your home, I enjoy providing quality peace of mind that both your space and your pets will be extremely well looked after.

“Communication was absolutely impeccable from start to finish, and I always felt confident knowing my dog was in good hands. She truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of, comfortable, and happy. It’s clear that Shelley genuinely care about the dogs she looks after. I highly recommend anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog daycare!”
“We could not be more happy with our puppy's stay with Heather!! She kept us up to date with pictures and messages the whole time Ivy was in her care and treated her as if she was her own dog! Very flexible with drop off and pick up which was extremely helpful to us as we were traveling and our plans changed a little bit. I could not imagine a better experience!”
“Lexie did an amazing job with our Yara! Understanding her specific care needs for her weekend stay. She even went above and beyond and gave her a bath! Which she needed as a farm dog. Will be booking again”
“Jerry is an amazing dog sitter. He was able to take my large difficult rescue dog last minute and even got her to eat while sitting her. She never eats when I am away from her. He went out of his way to give her chicken in her food and she even gave him hugs before we left when I came to pick her up💕”
“If you’re looking for a top tier 5 star dog sitter then Joe is your man. He took the best care of our pup while we were out of town. Joe sent us multiple videos of our pup and how well she was doing her entire stay with him. I can’t recommend him enough.”
“Shelby answered all of my questions quickly when prepping to drop off Finley and was very kind! I wish we would have gotten pictures and/or status updates while she was there, but I understand people have busy lives :). Finley was happy and healthy at pickup, which is the most important thing! We would definitely recommend Shelby and book again.”
“Tracy was amazing with our dog who can be very anxious. This was the first time ever that we have picked him up from boarding that he was completely calm and didn’t seem stressed at all. Tracy sent pictures and communicated all weekend. I would recommend Tracy to anyone. Our little guy was treated with care and love just like he was one of their own.”
“Susan did an amazing job helping us through the whole process. She kept us up to date about our dogs status and even sent us pictures! I highly recommend her!!! She has her own crates and recommends bringing their favorite thing for comfort. Love that!!”
“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.”
“Bailee’s communication is phenomenal! She responds fairly quick and gave us constant picture updates of our fur baby’s progress. Ozzy seemed to have made himself at home and had fun there because he came back sleepy, which is good for us! :)”
“This was my first time leaving our dog with a sitter and she was great! Rocky was nervous but Isabel was patient and loving with him. My kids really enjoyed getting pictures of him and seeing him doing well. Would book again. Thank you.”

About: I am currently a student of the University of Texas Arlington working on my Master’s degree in Social Work and I am hoping to make some extra money to help pay for some of the college expenses. A few fun facts about me are that I love playing sports, having movie nights, and cooking. Growing up, I had a ton of animals and currently I don’t have any pets so I miss loving on all the fur babies. I love spending time loving and playing with dogs and I believe this is a great opportunity for me to be able to do that, make a little extra money, and get some exercise in as well. I am working full time from 8:30am to 5pm, however, I would be open to doing a walk and check in during my lunch hour and anytime before or after work. When the pets are in my home, they are allowed to roam free and play all they want as long as they are potty trained. In the clients home I respectfully abide by the owners instructions left for me.
