“Courtney and her family were amazing with our pup while we were away for the weekend. They treated her like one of their own—even letting her sleep in their bed! We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands.”
“Krystal was so wonderful with our Georgia! She was very accommodating to our pickup and drop off and Georgia came home exhausted from a FUN few days with Krystal and her family! Would definitely use Krystal again!”
“Michele was very attentive and sent us lots of pictures to keep up with what the dogs were doing. They seemed to have a great time in the big back yard. We will be using Michele again and we’re so happy to have a great option close to our house.”

“Wow, what can I say about Lynn (as she likes to be called) and her husband Ken! We couldn't have asked for better care for our little one, Lacey- the care she received was phenomenal! My husband and I went away for a 28 day cruise and were very hesitant about leaving our dog for so long, since she had never been away from us. After meeting Lynn & Ken for the first time, our minds were completely at ease. Not only was Lacey taken care of- she was spoiled! Bedtime cuddles and homemade doggie treats were a few of the luxuries she enjoyed during her stay. Lynn was so great about keeping in communication with us the whole time we were away- giving us updates and even sending us pictures to enjoy. We did not worry one bit when we were away, knowing that Lacey was one happy little pup. By the time we came home, Lacey was so attached to Lynn & Ken, she cried when leaving. Lynn truly went above and beyond in every aspect! She even sent us home with a baggie of her homemade doggie treats- which must be delicious because Lacey managed to get a hold of them and devour them all in one sitting. Haha! On top of everything, Lynn & Ken were the nicest and sweetest couple! They greeted us with warm smiles and hearts. Not only do we consider them the best pet sitters, but we consider them true friends. I'm so glad to have found such wonderful people and will always continue to entrust our little one in their care for the future. It is clear that they absolutely love what they do and have a love for all animals. Thank you so much Lynn & Ken for everything! Lacey is looking forward to visiting soon!”
“Beverly loves animals and gave my dog Snuggles the best care and comfort for the twelve days he was with her when I was in the hospital. She sent me updates and photos every day that I loved getting. I highly recommend her for thoughtful, loving and excellent dog care in her home with an attached dog park area.”
“Shannon was easy to work with and my Boxer loved hanging out with her and the other daycare pets. She sent pics throughout the day so I could see what a fun time he was having. Highly recommend.”

“This was Pepper's very first stay away from home (she's only 18 months old) and as you may imagine, we had concerns about how things would go. Pepper's "boarding mom", Jessica, has a puppy of her own, Penny, and it is clear that Pepper and Penny became fast friends. Jessica shared pictures and updates with us daily letting us know how things were going which was a big comfort. We plan on taking another trip in the next few weeks and have no concerns with having Pepper stay over with Jessica again.”
“Mary is the best! Watched my 4 dogs, and would send multiple pictures and updates every day. All my dogs were very content while at her home. Will definitely ask Mary to take care of my dogs again!”
“Shirley is a kind and compassionate person who was willing to take on my grand dog I just inherited. I did not know that much about Lola’s behaviors with other dogs or how she would be away from me. Shirley understands the need to pay attention and let the dog show you what they need. It was a successful experience for both Lola and I and I look forward to our next visit.”

“Leslie is the BEST dog sitter I have ever used for my Rottie! Not many people can manage a 100lb Rottie but her and her sweet Sasha (husky) were extremely easy to get along with and she sent pics the entire stay!!! She also allowed me to extend the stay an extra day with no problem! If you want to leave your family members with someone you can trust call Leslie! I will definitely book with her again!”
About: We are a professional, appointment only boarding facility, not in home couch care. This is a premium boarding facility that operates under the roof of our home and is not separated, allowing for constant supervision and hands on care in a calm, structured environment. We are proficient in administering medications and providing advanced care such as IV fluids when needed. We have worked extensively with puppies and senior dogs alike, reinforcing crate routines, basic manners, and age-appropriate structure for young dogs, while providing a slower pace, comfort focused routines and attentive support for older dogs. Our facility features automatic water systems, spacious private rooms, and we provide dog beds and bowls for every stay if needed. Dogs enjoy outdoor time in a large, fully fenced group play yard with real grass and an 8 foot wooden privacy fence, as well as a separate, spacious vinyl fenced private yard with turf for one on one or low stimulus play. We prioritize safety, cleanliness, routine, and peace of mind for owners. We have a setup that allows your baby to be comfortable, calm and ready for their next stay with us! Pet care is built directly into our daily and weekly routine. Because our boarding facility operates under the roof of our home, dogs are part of our day from morning to night, not checked in on between errands. Each day follows a consistent structure that includes supervised potty breaks, outdoor play or private yard time, feeding, cleaning, and rest periods. Dogs are visually checked on frequently throughout the day, and we adjust routines based on age, energy level, and individual needs. Puppies receive more frequent breaks and guidance, while senior dogs are given a calmer pace and extra comfort. Weekly routines include deep cleaning of rooms and yards, ongoing monitoring of behavior and health, and maintaining a calm, low stress environment. Because this is not a side gig or drop-in service, care is hands-on, intentional, and continuous. Dogs are never left unattended for long stretches, and their safety and well being are part of our everyday life. We care for pets exclusively at our boarding facility, which operates under the roof of our home and is not separated. This allows for constant supervision and hands on care throughout the day and evening. Dogs follow a structured daily routine that includes feeding, supervised outdoor time, rest periods, and frequent check ins. We provide spacious private rooms, dog beds, bowls, automatic water systems, and maintain a clean, calm environment at all times. Outdoor time includes both group play in a large, real grass yard with an 8-foot wooden privacy fence and private yard time in a spacious vinyl fenced turf area, depending on each dog’s temperament and needs. We have extensive experience caring for puppies and senior dogs and are proficient in administering medications and advanced care such as IV fluids when needed. All dogs are temperament screened prior to boarding to ensure safety and reduce stress. Care is individualized, groups are kept small, and routines are adjusted to best support each dog’s comfort, health, and well being.
“Tammy did a great job with Moose! She sent lots of pictures, updates, and quick communication every time we had a question! We will definitely use Tammy for all of our future dog sitting needs!!”

About: I have been a pet owner nearly all of my life and have always had a great love for animals. Over the years, I’ve helped care for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family whenever they needed a trusted person to step in. Beyond being a pet owner myself, I have also volunteered as a dog caretaker at a local shelter and have experience fostering dogs, as well. These experiences have helped me understand that every pet has their own unique personality, needs, and routines. I truly love animals of all kinds and will care for your pets with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Your furry family members will be treated like they are part of my family while they’re in my care! I will do my best to fit your needs into my schedule! Right now, I am available evenings and weekends for drop ins and walks. I am happy to walk, play, feed, and snuggle your fur babies while you are away. Ultimately, I will follow your care directions when caring for your pets.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. Currently have a dog and two cats that I love to bits. I always find time to be out playing with my dog and keeping cats company when it comes to the night hours. I’m currently not working but I do have the transportation to get around for check ins on pets. I have free time on my hands at the moment so my schedule is really open to going in the morning, going in the afternoon, and going in the evening times before bedtime. I do not offer boarding in my own home, so being in the client's home I would be sure to introduce myself to the dogs, be outside while dogs are playing, and always attentive as to where an animal is within the house or backyard.
About: I have had dogs since I was little and grew up taking care of them. I used to take care of the neighbors cats when I was younger and feel a strong responsibility towards all animals in my care. I recently cared for a young puppy to include walking her and a very old dog who required special assistance moving around. I pay close attention to how you want your pet taken care of because I expect the same for my doggies. I am currently not working and am very flexible with a schedule to include weekend care. I do prefer to work during daytime hours but will work with you if you need someone in the evenings . I will strictly follow your instructions on how you want your animals taken care of. My last client requested I follow their rules on training their puppy which I did. I will play, love and walk your dogs depending on your needs.
“Kimberly took great care of our Murphy while we were out of town. She went above and beyond cleaning up the mess he made when he felt mad that we’d left him behind. We appreciate her!”
“I would definitely book again, Natasha sent plenty of pictures and communicated how my dog was doing. I plan on booking with her in the future for any future trips we can’t bring our dog along to. 10/10 recommend.”
About: I dog sit in the Southwest Fort Worth area with my dog Otis, small mix, that needs playmates. My dog has never been aggressive towards anyone or any other dogs, he's just to friendly. My backyard is very safe and secure, has a double fence all around with a huge tree that provides shade all day long. Also, a large covered patio with plenty of space to run and play. Inside, I have a large tiled area that provides a safe, comfortable place for them to rest. Please reach out to me anytime and give Otis and I a chance to welcome your loved ones into our home. Don't forget to ask me for my promo code for first time Rover users, a $20 discount before booking. I’m currently working from home, so I’m happy to care for your four legged friends all 7 days a week and more, if need be. I’m home all day so therefore I can provide as many potty breaks as necessary. I can feed everyone separately usually twice a day, treats during the day as well. I always send a text with pics and info as to how the first 24 hrs went.

When pets are in my home, they become part of the family, receiving personalized attention and care tailored to their needs and preferences. Whether it's providing a cozy spot for them to relax, engaging in stimulating playtime activities, or ensuring they receive their meals on time, I go above and beyond to make them feel at home.

I respect their routines and surroundings, ensuring minimal disruption to their daily lives while providing the same level of dedicated care they would receive at home. With a background in managing a stable of horses and a lifelong dedication to animal welfare, safety is always at the forefront of my mind. You can trust that your beloved pets will be in capable hands, receiving the highest level of care and attention in a secure and nurturing environment.
“Lindsey did a great job. Our cats are picky with people and they each have their own medication they have to take. The cats allowed her to give them their medication and actually remembered her from the first time she was there. Thank you Lindsey!!”
“I contacted Holly just days before needing a reservation and thankfully she and her husband were available to keep our three dogs for the weekend! I was nervous because we'd only left our dogs with family in the past, but our nerves were calmed watching her interact with them. It is so obvious that Holly and her husband are real "dog people" that will treat yours as their own! We were updated with pictures many times which was wonderful! We will absolutely use them again!”

Also, please note that I do NOT require crate training or anything of that nature. I want your fur baby’s time away from you to be as close to their normal routine as possible. While I have two puppies of my own (Wren and Quill), they have the most fantastic grandma who loves to watch and snuggle them while I housesit for you! :) I am in my final semester of graduate school, which means I have ample time to spend with your animals. I prefer to housesit instead of drop-ins. Typically, with housesitting, your pets are more comfortable! I am a graduate student and work part-time; therefore, I can fit your perfect fur babies into my schedule at any time. I have open availability and would love the chance to get some animal snuggles in. Safety is my top priority! I will carefully follow your instructions and will diligently ensure your baby is safe while in my care. This is a promise!
About: Hi! I’m Avery, a reliable and attentive dog walker who genuinely loves spending time with animals. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I always make sure each walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I always send photo updates and keep you informed during every walk. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a long, energetic walk, I’m happy to help! I’m punctual, communicative, and treat every dog like my own. I’m also comfortable with multiple dogs, high-energy breeds, and following specific routines. My schedule is pretty flexible! I work from home mostly and so I can be available in the early afternoon while you are at work! I will make sure your dog is always comfortable and that your dog is getting enough time to play and have plenty of potty breaks.
About: I've been a dog owner for more than 10 years. Through these years, I've loved learning about dog behavior and how I can be a better life coach to my dogs. Right now I have a very anxious 12 lb poodle mix who I enjoy taking out. I try to find ways to help with his anxiety and get him out of his shell. Feel free to contact me for a complimentary 15min meet and greet to see where our goals align. One of my top priorities is to take care of my own dog. We go on walks first thing in the morning. But overall, most of my time is spent working from home; therefore, I am available at your convenience For safety reasons, I won't be introducing my client's pets to other animals. Dog care will depend on the dog and how welcoming they are of a stranger into their home. Unless a dog is comfortable with me. I will most likely keep my distance, respect their space, and provide structure. I also do like to stay in communication with my clients with videos and photos
About: I havent done much dog sitting recently, but i have experience with dogs and i understand how dogs think psycologically and physiologically enough to keep your dogs safe with me. Im currently working part time from home on mondays, wednesdays, fridays and saturdays from 9am to 6pm subject to change or get off early due to slow business, but I am willing to work around your schedules.

“Courtney and her family were amazing with our pup while we were away for the weekend. They treated her like one of their own—even letting her sleep in their bed! We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such loving hands.”
“Krystal was so wonderful with our Georgia! She was very accommodating to our pickup and drop off and Georgia came home exhausted from a FUN few days with Krystal and her family! Would definitely use Krystal again!”
“Michele was very attentive and sent us lots of pictures to keep up with what the dogs were doing. They seemed to have a great time in the big back yard. We will be using Michele again and we’re so happy to have a great option close to our house.”

“Shannon was easy to work with and my Boxer loved hanging out with her and the other daycare pets. She sent pics throughout the day so I could see what a fun time he was having. Highly recommend.”
“This was Pepper's very first stay away from home (she's only 18 months old) and as you may imagine, we had concerns about how things would go. Pepper's "boarding mom", Jessica, has a puppy of her own, Penny, and it is clear that Pepper and Penny became fast friends. Jessica shared pictures and updates with us daily letting us know how things were going which was a big comfort. We plan on taking another trip in the next few weeks and have no concerns with having Pepper stay over with Jessica again.”
“Mary is the best! Watched my 4 dogs, and would send multiple pictures and updates every day. All my dogs were very content while at her home. Will definitely ask Mary to take care of my dogs again!”
“Shirley is a kind and compassionate person who was willing to take on my grand dog I just inherited. I did not know that much about Lola’s behaviors with other dogs or how she would be away from me. Shirley understands the need to pay attention and let the dog show you what they need. It was a successful experience for both Lola and I and I look forward to our next visit.”

“Leslie is the BEST dog sitter I have ever used for my Rottie! Not many people can manage a 100lb Rottie but her and her sweet Sasha (husky) were extremely easy to get along with and she sent pics the entire stay!!! She also allowed me to extend the stay an extra day with no problem! If you want to leave your family members with someone you can trust call Leslie! I will definitely book with her again!”
About: We are a professional, appointment only boarding facility, not in home couch care. This is a premium boarding facility that operates under the roof of our home and is not separated, allowing for constant supervision and hands on care in a calm, structured environment. We are proficient in administering medications and providing advanced care such as IV fluids when needed. We have worked extensively with puppies and senior dogs alike, reinforcing crate routines, basic manners, and age-appropriate structure for young dogs, while providing a slower pace, comfort focused routines and attentive support for older dogs. Our facility features automatic water systems, spacious private rooms, and we provide dog beds and bowls for every stay if needed. Dogs enjoy outdoor time in a large, fully fenced group play yard with real grass and an 8 foot wooden privacy fence, as well as a separate, spacious vinyl fenced private yard with turf for one on one or low stimulus play. We prioritize safety, cleanliness, routine, and peace of mind for owners. We have a setup that allows your baby to be comfortable, calm and ready for their next stay with us! Pet care is built directly into our daily and weekly routine. Because our boarding facility operates under the roof of our home, dogs are part of our day from morning to night, not checked in on between errands. Each day follows a consistent structure that includes supervised potty breaks, outdoor play or private yard time, feeding, cleaning, and rest periods. Dogs are visually checked on frequently throughout the day, and we adjust routines based on age, energy level, and individual needs. Puppies receive more frequent breaks and guidance, while senior dogs are given a calmer pace and extra comfort. Weekly routines include deep cleaning of rooms and yards, ongoing monitoring of behavior and health, and maintaining a calm, low stress environment. Because this is not a side gig or drop-in service, care is hands-on, intentional, and continuous. Dogs are never left unattended for long stretches, and their safety and well being are part of our everyday life. We care for pets exclusively at our boarding facility, which operates under the roof of our home and is not separated. This allows for constant supervision and hands on care throughout the day and evening. Dogs follow a structured daily routine that includes feeding, supervised outdoor time, rest periods, and frequent check ins. We provide spacious private rooms, dog beds, bowls, automatic water systems, and maintain a clean, calm environment at all times. Outdoor time includes both group play in a large, real grass yard with an 8-foot wooden privacy fence and private yard time in a spacious vinyl fenced turf area, depending on each dog’s temperament and needs. We have extensive experience caring for puppies and senior dogs and are proficient in administering medications and advanced care such as IV fluids when needed. All dogs are temperament screened prior to boarding to ensure safety and reduce stress. Care is individualized, groups are kept small, and routines are adjusted to best support each dog’s comfort, health, and well being.
“Tammy did a great job with Moose! She sent lots of pictures, updates, and quick communication every time we had a question! We will definitely use Tammy for all of our future dog sitting needs!!”
About: I've had animals since I was a child. We've raised and owned everything from horses to ferrets. We live in 6 fenced acres with lots of room to run, jump and play! I'm super vigilant about the safety and the health of every animal so be assured your baby will be looked after! I currently work from home, so going outside, going for walks, and having playtime is not an issue here. I have time to share love and attention! Fenced yard, air conditioned home, no kiddos, no smoking in the home, with one 8 lb Pomchi that loves to play and make new friends!
About: I have grown up with pets of all kinds. It wasn’t a farm but felt like it. From dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigs and a rabbit, I have had them all. I grew up in the country, lived in the city for 6 years, and now back to the country. Between my husband and I, we have 6 kids and 3 dogs. The kids are grown so I have more than enough time and love for your pets. I know how stressful it can be to leave you animals even for a few days. I want someone that will love them and treat them like their own. Let me be that peace of mind for you. I currently do DoorDash during the day, so I am available anytime to visit your pets. Whatever you need from potty breaks to belly rubs. I would need to know any medications or special care for your pets. I’m available to feed, play, let your pets out when needed. We can go for walks or just stay in.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have rescued most of them. I am able to be at home with them as I do not work outside the home and I am an empty nester. I have a beautiful energetic 2 year old golden to keep them company. I just lost our 15 year old dog so Raider would love the company. Your dog will be loved and treated like family. Raider says that’s a good thing. I have always been a stay at home mom. I am now an empty nester except for my dog Raider. I would be home most of the time with maybe the exception of errands here and there. I have a 4ft fenced yard with a pool for the dogs if they like to swim. They might prefer to be inside In the ac when it’s hot or heat when it’s cold and they will have plenty of room to roam around.
