“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!”
“This is a 5-Wag doggie hotel! Seriously, the accommodations are clean and homey, with individual decks in the runs and a resort pool to splash in. Daily walks within the fenced acreage make it a great place for dogs who like the great outdoors. The kennel clubhouse is air conditioned and very comfy. Beds are provided but Julie was flexible and welcomed the favored blankies and toys we brought. My very skittish dog Missy actually allowed some petting during the stay, a real testament to Julie’s sincere affection for the dogs in her care. I can heartily recommend her services and will use her again!”
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.
“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!”
“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 😊😊”
“I cannot say enough good things about Beverly. She truly cares about your fur baby. It was easy to relax on vacation because we knew Gunner was happy and playing most of the day. Not in a kennel all day except for a few hours. Worth every penny!!”
“Shelby was able to take in my dog Ollie last minute while I was moving. She was communicative and I could tell Ollie had a great time when I picked him up. I am no longer in the Tyler area but if I was Shelby would be my go-to. Highly recommend!”
“Our Sheltie, Buddy, stayed with Christina for two nights while we were out of town and he received excellent and loving care during his stay with her! She has two sweet dogs and Buddy thoroughly enjoyed have a couple of friends to hang out with while he was there :) Christina has a beautiful home with lots of outdoor space for the dogs to play. During Buddy's stay, Christina kept me updated with texts and pictures and she even sent an adorable video of Buddy playing with her dogs. I highly recommend Christina and will definitely book her for dog boarding in the future. Buddy gives her four paws up :)”
“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💕”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Brittany and Tristen did a great job taking care of my pup! I will be using them again when I need help and I highly recommend them to take excellent care of your four legged friends!”
“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. It is so clear how much Hexton loves her, and she took such wonderful care of him. I highly recommend booking Anniyah if you want top-tier care for your pet. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“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.”

“Karen is amazing! She was so good with my little fur ball, kitty. I received updates every day on her eating and if she went out (indooor/outdoor cat), also if she was playful that day or not. Such a good sitter. I recommend her 100%. Thank you Karen! You rock!”

She is always at our home at the agreed date and time and communicates well, letting us know what’s going on with our pets and if there are any concerns or questions. I trust Amanda with my house and my pets, and will definitely be using her again.”
“Rachel was wonderful with our cats and took care of our home while we were away for a week. The cats warmed up to her quickly and remained calm with her. Rachel left our home clean and followed instructions. A situation arose at the house while she was at work. She acted quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our babies. Rachel was very communicative and sent pictures each day. We would highly recommend her!”
“We were so pleased with Jewel & how she took care of our fur babies, Coco, Abby & BK, while we took a day trip to see family & attend a sweet sixteen Birthday party. We will definitely have her again.”
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.
“Sarah is amazing! She took wonderful care of our cat and really stepped up with a last minute vet visit when he was not acting like himself. She’s on time and very communicative!”
“Aleisa did a great job with our 2 cats and house sitting at our home. They were happy and healthy when we got home and everything was nice and tidy in our house. Thank you Aleisa. See you again.”

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

“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”
“Our Shih Tzu, Cookie, has been staying here periodically since August, 2021. We are extremely happy with the care he receives at Beverly's. She has impressed us as being exceptionally kind, capable, and caring. What's more, Cookie loves it here--he has a coniption to get to the door when we arrive at Beverly's house. He loves his play dates and sleepovers when Mom and Dad need to get things done without his "help." And, we have peace of mind knowing that he is getting the best possible care in a dog friendly place and that he enjoys his time here.”
“Heather was great with my pup! He had such a great time with her and loved playing with her dogs! She kept me updated all day and I felt so at ease with her watching over him!”

About: Hi! I’m an International Professional Dog Groomer working with animals since 2019. Caring for pets is more than a job for me — it’s truly my passion. I’ve worked in both veterinary hospitals and professional grooming salons, where I gained experience caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and individual needs. As I do have a professional background in grooming. When appropriate and discussed within your booking, I’m happy to incorporate grooming care as part of your pet’s stay to help keep them comfortable. My goal is always to provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels loved and well cared for. I look forward to caring for your fur baby and giving them a comfy, positive experience 🐾🤍 Rabies Vaccinations is required upon booking for dogs & cats Pet care is a consistent and important part of my daily routine. I structure my days around the needs of the pets in my care to ensure they receive proper attention, supervision, and timely services. Throughout the day, I schedule time for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, grooming appointments, and rest periods. I am intentional about not overbooking so each pet receives the quality care, patience, and one-on-one attention they deserve. My weekly routine is flexible to accommodate both grooming and boarding clients, while still maintaining a calm and structured environment. This allows me to provide reliable, attentive care and adjust as needed based on each pet’s individual needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment where pets can feel at ease while in my care. In my home, pets are always supervised and given a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, and rest. Each pet has a safe, designated space to relax, and I carefully monitor all interactions to ensure a stress-free experience. For grooming services, I use a gentle, low-stress approach, allowing pets to feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I take my time and adjust based on each pet’s behavior and needs.
“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: I’ve had dogs, cats, birds all my life. My grandparents had a ranch with all animals. I will take care of your fur babies like they are mine. Robbie I’m retired and can walk dogs anytime of day and evening. I have a small dog that likes dogs and cats. I have a cozy place for them. I have a 1 story apartment and walk dogs at anytime.

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.
“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! 💕”

Every pet that stays with me is treated like family—safe, loved, and spoiled just like our own!

And having peace of mind knowing when i go out of town i dont have to worry about my puppy is worth so much more then I could ever pay!! My pets are eveything to me and im so thankful I found luke.”
“This was our first experience with a Rover sitter and Mimi’s first time away from us. We needed a sitter for a few hours. We work from home, so Mimi is always with us. Kimberly was great. Very friendly and hospitable, and Mimi was well taken care of. We will definitely use Kimberly again when we are traveling thru the area.”
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 have been a dog lover since my first dog followed me home at the age of 6 (and he was a full size Doberman of all things). I currently have a German Shepherd, Pit bull Mix, Husky Mix, Chihuahua Mix and an Orange Tabby so I'm used to animals of all sizes and temperaments. My poor Pit Mix has allergies, my GSD has hip dysplasia and my Chihuahua has a heart condition, so I'm well versed in special needs! I do research constantly and spend lots of time talking to our vet about how I can make their lives, and mine, easier. I'd love to put all that knowledge to work for your fur babies! I know CPR for dogs and even keep a doggie first aid kit in my car! Just in case. I do my best to make sure my presence is felt as little as possible in your home but that your baby gets all the attention they need and deserve! I'm currently dog and cat grooming only on Fridays and Saturdays. So usually Sun-Thurs its just me and my pets living our best lives. I have a two acre property that we constantly explore and we love to go swimming at the nearby lake! I do my best to be as unintrusive as possible when in you're home! Letting me know their favorite toys and activities do make things easier for us to bond! I have a fully fenced in half acre with another acre and a half we can explore while leashed! There are cows, chickens and other animals on the farm next door so there's plenty of sights (and smells)!
About: I have about 6 year experience with dogs any where from puppies to seniors. I have trained dogs mine included. His name is bullet and he is 4. I work during the week so I’ll be available weekends and some evenings. Time will vary but I will accept as much as I can I’ve got a fenced in yard I live on a large property. I have two dogs very sweet and I don’t like next to a road.

Whether it’s morning drop-ins, midday play breaks, or evening check-ins, I structure my schedule around what your pets need most. I’m organized, flexible, and always make sure each visit is calm, unrushed, and full of attention—just like I would want for my own pets. I am a medically retired Los Angeles County Sherriff Officer so you can feel at ease that I am respectful of your home, property and your fur babies at all times.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a registered nurse, I’m highly attentive, dependable, and comfortable monitoring for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall well-being. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication administration, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention. My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your needs. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, extended care, or overnight attention, I’m committed to providing dependable and compassionate care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a registered nurse, I pay close attention to details and am experienced in recognizing changes in health or behavior. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and household routines. I believe in building trust with both pets and owners through clear communication, reliability, and respect for your home. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
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.

“This is a 5-Wag doggie hotel! Seriously, the accommodations are clean and homey, with individual decks in the runs and a resort pool to splash in. Daily walks within the fenced acreage make it a great place for dogs who like the great outdoors. The kennel clubhouse is air conditioned and very comfy. Beds are provided but Julie was flexible and welcomed the favored blankies and toys we brought. My very skittish dog Missy actually allowed some petting during the stay, a real testament to Julie’s sincere affection for the dogs in her care. I can heartily recommend her services and will use her 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!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Beverly. She truly cares about your fur baby. It was easy to relax on vacation because we knew Gunner was happy and playing most of the day. Not in a kennel all day except for a few hours. Worth every penny!!”
“Shelby was able to take in my dog Ollie last minute while I was moving. She was communicative and I could tell Ollie had a great time when I picked him up. I am no longer in the Tyler area but if I was Shelby would be my go-to. Highly recommend!”
“Our Sheltie, Buddy, stayed with Christina for two nights while we were out of town and he received excellent and loving care during his stay with her! She has two sweet dogs and Buddy thoroughly enjoyed have a couple of friends to hang out with while he was there :) Christina has a beautiful home with lots of outdoor space for the dogs to play. During Buddy's stay, Christina kept me updated with texts and pictures and she even sent an adorable video of Buddy playing with her dogs. I highly recommend Christina and will definitely book her for dog boarding in the future. Buddy gives her four paws up :)”
“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💕”
“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 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.
“I can’t recommend Destine enough! She took such amazing care of Penny and treated her like she was her own. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that Penny was happy, comfortable, and well loved. I was a little nervous leaving my cat, but she completely exceeded my expectations. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable!”
“Did a great job watching my pet over the time I was away. Will definitely book again. My dog seem like she was having a great time. She also was comfortable with Daniela. Seems like a 2nd home.”
