“Our Winston loved his time with Kent and his family. He was treated like one of the family. Several updated to keep us from worrying about our boy also. Highly recommend!!”
“Melissa and Roy are absolutely amazing! This is the second time they have watched our dogs for us, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing that our dogs are so well taken care of, especially when one of our dogs has such high anxiety. When we pulled into their driveway, our dogs got so excited! We are so grateful!”
“My husband and I had such an amazing experience with Kelly! She took excellent care of shy pup Olive and was also incredibly flexible. We only had 12 hours to find a sitter after a sudden change of plans, and Kelly was so accommodating. Olive spent two nights with Kelly and her family, and it was clear at pick up that she had a great time. She would have stayed longer if we let her! Kelly was able to give Olive her medicine twice a day and kept us updated with pictures and texts. Her lab, Charlie, was such a gentleman and helped Olive feel comfortable from the get-go. Olive slept like a log when we got back home. Thank you, Kelly!”
“Our pup is always returned happy and healthy. We are always very happy with the attention and care that Tasso receives. We always appreciate the flexibility with scheduling availability and loving our sweet fur baby like we do.”
“Kelli is excellent and very caring. Sends video and photos. The videos and photos make it pretty obvious they are happy, well cared for and in a safe environment. Definitely recommend.”
“My Oliver loved his stay with Whitney and we would most definitely use her services again. She sent me pictures and kept me updated on how he was doing throughout his stay. She even taught him how to use the doggy door. =)”
“Keri was extremely accommodating and professional during scheduling and throughout our fur baby’s stay. You can tell she knows her K9s and really loves them all. We had a rough start introducing our pup to hers, but Keri ensured our pup was comfortable and even noticed her needing extra privacy at times. She also gave us daily updates, pics and videos of her which put us at great ease!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our dog, Remi, and we had a fantastic experience. Andrew was great—very friendly and communicative. He sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Remi up, he was happy and relaxed, which says a lot! We’d definitely book with Andrew again. Highly recommend!”
“T’anna comes through again. She’s the best of the best. Always kept us updated. This is the second time we’ve used her. She will always be our dog sitter as long as she continues to do this!!! Thank you so much!”
“Anita and Earlex were great! They are both so very nice and you can tell they care about the dogs they keep. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our sweet pup was well taken care of. We will be using them again in the future.”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job caring for our pup Leo. She would send us updates/photos through out our trip and I appreciated her love/care for our dog. I’d definitely recommend and would rebook with her in the future!”
“Geneva and Edward took wonderful care of our girls! We have one that’s all energy all the time and one that is timid and scared of everyone. They were patient and caring with both of them. We are new to the area and were nervous about finding someone to leave our pups with, but this seemed to be the perfect fit. They have large spaces inside and out for them to run and play. Can’t recommend them enough! We’ll definitely be calling again soon!”
“I cannot express how AMAZING Stacy and her family are! Stacy was very accommodating and took such wonderful care of our baby girl. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Kaela and her family took great care of Izzie. We got regular pictures and could see how much they loved having her for the week. Thank you so much for keeping our girl safe and happy while we were away. Will definatly use her again when needing a sitter.”
About: I grew up on a farm helping with animals often. I've always owned dogs and cats. I was a vet tech for 3 years. I have a dog door (it can be secured) and automatic waterer for your pet's convenience. I installed a metal gate to keep my runners from escaping out the front door. I am trained to give shots for the elderly family members. The days I work outside the house, I can meet you at 6:15 pm or later. I feed the dogs twice daily, but biscuits often. I am a homebody and I'm usually home all weekend. Your fur babies will be well loved. I have a 6-foot privacy fence, gate for the front door, dog door and an automatic water feeder. They are like family and can explore all they want. Please let me know in advance if a pet likes to lift his leg inside the house. I can provide doggy diapers.
“Silvana & Diego treated our Nala so well!! Nala is our 9 year old dog and she is sometimes very anxious but she had a great time with them!! They sent me pictures and kept me up to date with everything. I loved that they're bilingual so they could speak the commands to my dog in Spanish ❤️ great advantage for me!!

“Johanny was so incredibly kind and flexible when I needed someone to take care of my pup VERY LAST MINUTE while I was already out of town. I had a family emergency and my friend couldn’t take care of him anymore so I rushed to find someone late at night and Johanny was quite literally the only one willing to take him in at such last minute. We are very appreciative and THANK HER a million times over. All was well upon our return.”

“Terri is an awesome lady. Yeti & I think she hung the moon. Yeti & I went over last night & met Terri & her fur team & we left there so excited about our Doggy Day Care time today. Yeti was there early this morning & stayed all day. I am absolutely sure he had a blast with all of them & the new experience. I received pictures of my little man playing & being very adventurous & I received a report on what all he did. It was so awesome & very comforting. He barely made it home before falling asleep. Yeti will be going back to play with Terri, LeRoy, Dex, Gator & Big Red. What a wonderful team. ???”
About: I am a dog trainer for a reputable national company, looking to fill my life with even more dogs! I have 5+ years of experience caring for dogs in my home and carry liability insurance. If you send you dog to stay with me, they will be provided with a fun, structured and safe environment and just may learn something new while here! I am a full time dog trainer that only does board and trains (dogs come to live in my home), so work from home and already have a very structured schedule of potty breaks, walks and training time scheduled throughout my day! Your dog will be cared for like they would be at home! I am very focused on safety with any dog that comes into my home. Dogs are crated at night and when not being supervised. I do have two dogs of my own, both are extremely social, so if your dog is social, they will be allowed play time! If your dog is dog selective or does not like other dogs, I can easily accommodate your pup as well and will provide them with plenty of separate attention without other dogs around. I do structured pack walks once a day, and individual walks for unsocial dogs or owners that would prefer their dog be walked separately from a pack. Boarding client dogs will get a minimum of 4 potty breaks per day in my fenced yard, at least one walk, and fed on their regular schedule per owners instructions.
“Geneva and family did a great job with taking care of Chloey. They were very flexible with the time change I requested and Chloey loved all of their furry family. Would definitely book them again if I am ever in the area.”
About: I am a woman in my late 50's, (a mom and a grandma) who has been taking care of "critters" of all types for over 20 years, between Texas, and my home state of Minnesota. I am basically available all the time since I am retired from my career field, in Nutrition, and do this full-time now. I have done pet sitting, on the side, even while working in my career field, as animals have always been my passion. My place is in the country and very pet friendly. I have a small Chihuahua mix, a standard Dachshund, and a shepherd mix, who are all quite friendly. Your pet can be immersed with mine, or kept in a separate, fenced area; whichever works best for your pet. All can be confined as to provide your fur baby plenty of tlc and attention.

About: I have a wide array of experience with caring for dogs and cats—from the corgi puppy who barks through the night to the one eyed 18 year old deaf and blind Shih Tzu who just needed love and my current 9 year old rescue who loves cuddles and walks. I have experience administering medication, working with tricky meal routines, cleaning and sanitizing after potty accidents, and giving lots of love and pets. I am a teacher at a local high school and am free all day every day during the summer and before 8:00 am and after 4:30 pm on weekdays during the school year as well as full availability on the weekends. My pets are an integral part of my family and I start and end the day with a dog walk. I have a fenced backyard. There IS a pool, but I also have a 10x10 cage back there for potty breaks if you have a water loving dog that you don’t want in the pool. I have my own four legged crew: Ebby the funny fat cat and Teddy the sweet rescue dog. We do have stairs in our home but if you have an older dog that struggles with arthritis, I can stay downstairs with them while they are in my home.

My fiancee and I have 3 dachshund mixes that are all seniors now that we love like they are our children. *Regarding house sitting requests: While I will ensure your pet's needs are fully met, including regular feeding, walks and playtime, please note that I will not be staying at your house 24/7.

We currently have two dogs, our Mini Schnauzer/Cairn Terrier Bentley, and our Maltipoo, Prince, I am currently retired, so my schedule is your schedule, to include holidays, weekends, and short notice boarding/dog sitting and walking services. Bottom line, I am here for you and your dogs! We have a fenced in back yard for them to play in. I will also follow any special feeding instructions, to include times, special additives, or any treats. I only ask that you provide the food and treats your dog is used to; this will avoid any stomach upset from different foods.

I have also bottle fed baby animals and had to assist one of my dogs when she had a litter of 11 puppies, which I cared for on my own. My only job right now is caring for my two dogs and my cat!

I can't bring other animals into my home as I already have 3 pets.

About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds ranging from Labradors to German Shorthairs and Mastiffs to Miniature American Shepherds. No matter the size, energy level, or special needs you can trust your pet to me. I personally have bred, whelped, and raised two litters of puppies. I am confident in assisting in any potty training of puppies as well. Additionally, having three dogs of my own I know how difficult it can be to leave your dogs in someone else's care. I am very engaged with you during anytime I'm with your dog so you know how they're doing. I work remote and my schedule is very flexible. For the most part I have the ability to set my own schedule. The biggest benefit to me would be to schedule your time with your pet in advance so that I'm able to block that time on my work schedule. I make sure that my pets and the pets that are entrusted into my care are comfortable and content. In order to achieve this I use a variety of tools and tricks such as calm exercise, interactive play, and enrichment activities. I give as much love and attention as they desire without overstimulating or stressing them out. I pay close attention to any indications of stress or other ailments and keep the owners aware of all potential challenges.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life, so working with animals comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, love, and attention to the little details that make them feel safe and happy. Whether it’s sticking to a strict feeding routine, going on long walks, or just giving extra cuddles, I make sure each pet gets the care they deserve. I’m reliable, calm, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities—from playful pups to shy cats. You can count on me to keep your pets comfortable while you’re away. I work overnight shifts, so I’m available for about eight hours after I get off in the mornings, up until around 3 PM each day. I’m also free all day on Wednesdays and Thursdays! My schedule gives me plenty of time for walks and pet care—right after I head home to feed my own fur-babies, of course When walking dogs, I always make safety my top priority. I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to surroundings, and avoid unsafe or overly busy areas. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level, pace, and behavior to make sure every walk is safe and enjoyable.

This included watching dogs for neighbors and friends during the day and overnight, as well as watching our three family dogs when my parents needed a night off. I have been trusted to watch my neighbor's dogs, friend's dogs, and new coworker's dogs consistently. I have also quickly become a regular dog-walker for several neighborhood pups. I come from a home that treats their pets like part of the family and can guarantee that I will treat your sweet dog with detailed attention and care. I am a freelance writer who takes on several remote clients per month. My writing schedule is entirely remote. This makes my schedule highly conducive to watching and caring for your special pup! I have a car and am able to get to any location in the Dallas metro area or surrounding cities. I have stayed overnight to care for the dogs of my neighbors and friends and will take great care of your house. I grew up with small dogs and have a particular love for Malteses, Yorkies, and Bichon Frises. However, I have watched and walked dogs of all breeds and sizes including Labs, Retrievers, Poodles, and even a Bernese Mountain Dog.
About: I have had dogs since I was born, I was raised taking care of dogs. I love them so much and can’t wait to sit! I work a full time job, however it’s 4 days on, and 3 days off. The days I work I'm available evenings after 5:30. I currently don’t have any pets, but I have been raised taking care of animals. I was raised with dogs from the day was born until the day I moved out, most years of my life having multiple dogs at a time, even having 3 dogs at one point. I love being outside so I would always take the dogs on walks or just sit outside with my dogs.

“Melissa and Roy are absolutely amazing! This is the second time they have watched our dogs for us, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing that our dogs are so well taken care of, especially when one of our dogs has such high anxiety. When we pulled into their driveway, our dogs got so excited! We are so grateful!”
“My husband and I had such an amazing experience with Kelly! She took excellent care of shy pup Olive and was also incredibly flexible. We only had 12 hours to find a sitter after a sudden change of plans, and Kelly was so accommodating. Olive spent two nights with Kelly and her family, and it was clear at pick up that she had a great time. She would have stayed longer if we let her! Kelly was able to give Olive her medicine twice a day and kept us updated with pictures and texts. Her lab, Charlie, was such a gentleman and helped Olive feel comfortable from the get-go. Olive slept like a log when we got back home. Thank you, Kelly!”
“Kelli is excellent and very caring. Sends video and photos. The videos and photos make it pretty obvious they are happy, well cared for and in a safe environment. Definitely recommend.”
“My Oliver loved his stay with Whitney and we would most definitely use her services again. She sent me pictures and kept me updated on how he was doing throughout his stay. She even taught him how to use the doggy door. =)”
“Keri was extremely accommodating and professional during scheduling and throughout our fur baby’s stay. You can tell she knows her K9s and really loves them all. We had a rough start introducing our pup to hers, but Keri ensured our pup was comfortable and even noticed her needing extra privacy at times. She also gave us daily updates, pics and videos of her which put us at great ease!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our dog, Remi, and we had a fantastic experience. Andrew was great—very friendly and communicative. He sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. When we picked Remi up, he was happy and relaxed, which says a lot! We’d definitely book with Andrew again. Highly recommend!”
“T’anna comes through again. She’s the best of the best. Always kept us updated. This is the second time we’ve used her. She will always be our dog sitter as long as she continues to do this!!! Thank you so much!”
“Geneva and Edward took wonderful care of our girls! We have one that’s all energy all the time and one that is timid and scared of everyone. They were patient and caring with both of them. We are new to the area and were nervous about finding someone to leave our pups with, but this seemed to be the perfect fit. They have large spaces inside and out for them to run and play. Can’t recommend them enough! We’ll definitely be calling again soon!”
“I cannot express how AMAZING Stacy and her family are! Stacy was very accommodating and took such wonderful care of our baby girl. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Johanny was so incredibly kind and flexible when I needed someone to take care of my pup VERY LAST MINUTE while I was already out of town. I had a family emergency and my friend couldn’t take care of him anymore so I rushed to find someone late at night and Johanny was quite literally the only one willing to take him in at such last minute. We are very appreciative and THANK HER a million times over. All was well upon our return.”
“Micki-Ann was such a wonderful host to my little pupper, Roo. She sent me pictures and updates throughout his stay, which relaxed me because I could see he was being well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I have fostered 3 dogs, hosted a Sniff Spot in my 1.5 acre backyard (a private dog park rentable by the hour) and successfully trained the one dog I raised. Throughout my experience with dogs I have done a lot of research (read books watched videos and took a class) on how to train and read dogs’ body language. I am a gig worker so I have a lot of free time during the week. Therefore, I’m able to spend quality time with your pup to offer the care and attention they deserve. With a wide open yard, a pond and critters to chase your dog won’t get bored here! I have a fenced in 1.5 acre backyard with a seasonal pond. I like to crate pups inside the house when I’m not present. Regular feeding and potty breaks with some mental stimulation mixed in. And of course lots of pets and belly scratches!
“Leslie and Jonathon were wonderful! They sent me videos and pictures of Remi daily and took him on walks. And when my air bnb offered me an extra night, they were so easy to accommodate one more night!”
“Sruthi was kind enough to keep Tarzu during the thanksgiving holidays. She has sent several updates with pictures and videos. Tarzu had a blast at her place with other friends he met there. Would highly recommended her to anyone.”
“Jaclyn was an amazing sitter! Our dog stayed at her house for the weekend and Jaclyn took great care of her. We got plenty of pictures that kept us so at ease. They played, cuddled, and even went on a nature walk. Jaclyn went above and beyond and we are so happy with the stay, thank you so much!”
“Catherine was great with Marley. She sent photos and updates several times during the week. She was even concerned about him being scared of the rain/ thunder and took extra care to make sure he felt safe and secure during the thunder storms. I will definitely use her again.”
“Annie was great. She was well organized and made sure we felt at ease leaving our dogs with her and her family. She welcomed us into her home for a pre visit to look around so we felt comfortable. We received daily updates along with pictures. We will be using Annie again and would recommend her!”
“We had a family emergency and Jennifer was able to step in and watch Finnegan for us. Once again he was well taken care of, and importantly, was excited when I dropped him off and happy when I picked him up. Jennifer is wonderful about staying in contact and I know I have quality care when needed.”
