“Destiny and her husband were really nice setting up a meet and greet and then taking care of Thor. He had such a good time during our first meeting, Thor was super excited the day I dropped him off. I got photos and videos, as well as an update on his day when I picked him up. I highly recommend them and I absolutely will leave my pup with them again if I need to.”
“Nick + Ashley have been great + my dog Oakley had a good time at their home while I was away. They have connected with me with photos of Oakley and advised that she was “at home” while staying with them which is wonderful to hear for a dog parent!”
“Darren and his family took great care of Teddy! Darren made sure Ted took his allergy medicine, and we loved getting the pictures of the kids interacting with our pup! We would be happy to book with Darren again.”
“Sabri was a fantastic sitter! She took great care of my little one and communicated with me everyday! Will definitely use her again. Thank you so very much!”

“Ericka and Robert were amazing with Charlie! I have never had someone watch him before and was a little worried about how he would do, but Ericka and Robert were so kind throughout the whole process and sent me updates along the way ! They were kind enough to work with me when troubles arose and I had to extend his stay! 100% would book with them again!!”
“As always, Selena and her family is the one I trust for the care of my sweet Zoey. Thank you for everything Selena and family. Happy holidays and I wish the 2026 brings you tons of smiles and adventures! Thank you again 🙏”
“We contacted Megan 2 days before our week long trip and she gladly accepted to meet and greet the same day and then took care of Pepper. Megan was very clear in what we need to bring when we drop our pet”
“I am so happy to have had my dog stay with Claire, Craig, Scarlette and Penny. Her home and yard are ideal for dogs and Jake had a great time. It’s the first time I’ve ever left him overnight and Claire sent me texts and pictures to let me know he was doing great. I’ll definitely be back.”
“Left Pancho in really good hands! I could tell he was comfortable right away. I also got multiple updates and pictures throughout the day which I appreciated a ton! Layla and Teddy were the best hosts.”
“Geneva took such good care of my very active corgi! Lots of play time and updates as needed- thanks for the awesome communication. I was hesitant to leave him anywhere because we always use the same sitter. When they moved, I was sad we’d never find anyone as good but Geneva exceeded expectations! Thanks so much!!”

“Valarie was amazing with my pup while I was on a short visit in town! My pup, Ellie, loved getting to spend time with her and her kids. Her kids were really gently and caring towards my dog as well which I really appreciated. I would definitely board with Valarie again!”
“Thank you so much, Araselly, for taking such wonderful care of Copper. This was my first time leaving him with anyone other than his vet’s boarding, and you made it feel completely natural. You were so caring, and I could tell Copper felt loved and safe — like he was with family. Your updates and photos showed how happy he was, and it made my trip so much more relaxing. Knowing he was in exceptional hands meant everything to me. Thank you a billion times over!”

Cat caregivers near you - Lakeside
“Lauren was wonderful watching out for our cat, Sookie! She always sent great pictures and updates about how she was doing, making me feel good knowing she was in the best hands!”
“I definitely recommend Jynna! She is reliable, communicative, and attentive, and took wonderful care of my two cats. I came home to happy cats and felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I will definitely hire Jynna again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats as a professional groomer for the past 5 years. I am a mom to a tripod Shiba Inu mix and a deaf Shih Tzu mix! I work for a school district 7-4 Monday-Friday. This has freed up my schedule on weekday evenings and weekends are typically free with a bit of notice! I have a soft spot for seniors, I am especially gentle with the sugar faced pets. I understand each pet is a unique situation and will have flexibility to meet their needs!
“Ashley did a fantastic job watching our two dogs! I felt very at ease having her over at our home. I trusted she would take care of them and be attentive to them while we were out town for a long weekend. I would definitely have her back to watch them again!”
“Emily was super easy going and we are very grateful for her help while we were gone! We 100% trust her with our pets and will use her going forward. So glad we found her!”
“Alison did a great job taking care of my kitties for an extended weekend trip- she went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for and provided photos every visit.”
“Jessica spent quality time loving on my dogs and quickly picked up on their individual personalities. She was flexible, punctual and highly responsive. I would recommend her to all my friends and absolutely book with Jessica again.”
“Absolutely the best you could ask for for your pets and your home. Brian has been taking care of our cats and our home for a while now. He always comes when he says he will and does what he says he will do. The cats love him and our plants wouldn’t survive our travel without him. Highly recommend.”
About: My Experience With Cats is that, I grew up around cats, but after getting scratched a few times, I always considered myself more of a dog person. That changed when I moved in with my brother and roommates and got to know their cats. They showed me a completely different side—sweet, cuddly, and full of their own personalities. Learning their routines, how they react to things, and how different they are from dogs helped me step out of my comfort zone and genuinely enjoy being around cats.
“Emily did great with my cat Connie. She was very responsive when I was out of town and had an emergency situation with Connie’s feeder. She rushed right over and problem solved quickly! 😁”
“Benjamin was great with all of our animals and they absolutely adored him. We got photos every day and he even won over my shy cat. I highly recommend him and next time I have need of a pet sitter he is my first choice.”
“Katherine did a great job. We returned after 10 days and found the cats to be in good shape and their area clean. Katherine also helped us by watering our patio plants and they look great as well. It’s a good feeling having someone that loves animals to take care of your pets. Thanks Katherine, we will see you again soon.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Lakeside
About: I have been grooming and pet sitting for 16 years. I own and operate my own dog grooming salon (Motown Mutts) . I regularly pull and foster from local shelters and have experience with frightened, nervous and special needs dogs. I have a ton of references and have quickly earned a reputation for providing excellent care in my area. My children were raised doing this and dogs that don’t normally love kids love mine because they speak the language. The dogs are very rarely left alone. My daughter is an LVT and handy for emergencies when I call. I can also groom them with advanced notice during their stay. We love our pet sitters like our own and become very attached to them. My babies usually run to my door and can’t wait to get inside. I am certified in emergency canine CPR and therapeutic massage therapy. The dogs will go to work with me daily unless I find the daycare experience stressful to them (older or nervous pups). I also have employees at my salon so they are available in emergencies The pups will be my pet while with me, we wake up at 4 am, have our meals and then head to the salon for the day to play. I don’t do a lot of playtime outside in the summer during the hottest times but we exercise in the evenings when it’s cooler. If there is an emergency I have staff willing to help out. I prefer no Sunday pick ups or drop offs because that’s family day
“Mya was able to accommodate my last minute day care request with no issue. She took great care of Chewie and sent me photos throughout the day. Definitely recommend booking with her :)”
About: Choose me as your dog sitter for 23 years’ experience, EMT training, CPR certification, and true animal devotion, providing safe, dependable, loving care every single time. As a self-employed worker, I set my own hours, giving me the flexibility to provide pets consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day and night. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine, monitoring their behavior, and keeping spaces clean. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent communication, and a calm, comfortable environment.
“Carolyn was absolutely amazing with my dog. I just adopted her 2 1/2 weeks ago and she made sure that Zoey was absolutely comfortable and taken care of and always communicated with me while I was gone. Absolute five stars and I will be coming back and using her for all my needs!”
About: I got my very own dog when I was 10 years old. Domino was a dalmatian and really just set the ball rolling for my love of all dogs! I have had at least one dog since, the most at one time was 4! We had Chihuahua named Pancho, Boxer named Pepper, Pit bull named Petey and a foster Mix named Ziggy! I would adopt all the dogs if I had enough space. I have dog sat for friends and thought this would be a great way to keep Hobbs social while still being an only child :) I currently work remotely and am available for 24/7 care in my home. I have one kennel but space for you to bring your own if your baby is more comfortable there. However, this is a dog friendly home so pups are of course allowed on furniture and to sleep in bed. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly boxer mix that LOVES all other dogs and thinks everyone is a friend! We go on short walks in the morning and evening while it's not so hot! During the day I always accompany potty breaks and encourage play time. We have plenty of toys, balls and bones that Hobbs loves to share.
About: I have always owned pets and have a special place for all animals especially dogs. I have always rescued, but I’m ready to start getting to know more dogs and give them the attention they need! I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to take care of dogs and give them the love they deserve! And taking the time to walk and play with them. I enjoy walking and exploring, and I love to see dogs reach their full potential and give them the exercise they want and need :)
“Megan was awesome and very welcoming. It was my first time using Rover and she made sure my 11 week old puppy had a comfortable stay and also got to play with her own puppy. When I picked her up she was a lot more confident and I could tell she had a fun time. Great stay and we will book doggy day care again for sure.”
“Destiny was a great baby sitter for Chanel! She provided me updates & pictured throughout the day. I appreciate her taking such great care of Chanel today 🩷”
“Emily has been wonderful with my senior dog, Petie! She adjusts to his energy level and needs for the day. Thank you, Emily, for keeping Petie company when I can’t!! I highly recommend Emily”
About: I have worked in pet care for over 2 years now and have had the opportunity to work with many different pets. I do baths, dog walking, training, playtimes, and more, along with many snuggles and treats ! As of right now I work from 5pm-5am So I will have all day to spend time with your pets and give them undivided attention and treat them as I would my own. I like to go on walks and I have a fur baby to keep your pet company! I also provide lots of pictures and videos of your animals to let you know that they’re safe in my care :)
About: Hello, I am a special educator who loves pets. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet while you are away. I provide special care to suit the needs of each pet and owner. Pictures can be provided as often as you'd like. I am awalys available and flexible with schedule. I am able to accommodate short-term or long-term stays. Special rates are provided for any stay over 4 days. You can be assured that your pet will be in the best care and loving environment. Spots are quickly filling. Be sure to book your spot today. I look forward to speaking with you and caring for your wonderful pets while you enjoy your time away. I am located in the Fort Worth/Lake Worth area. My work schedule is 5 days a week with weekends off. Because I am an educator, I have summer and holidays breaks to care for your fur babies while you vacation. Have fun! I have a fenced yard in which your fur baby can safely play and exercise throughout the yard space. Also, your fur baby can be crated if you like or be feel to roam freely in my home.
About: I love working with all pets, whether it be sitting, caretaking, cuddling, trimming nails or grooming, I love spending time with all animals. Can’t wait to meet your pet. Currently working from home so I’m available nearly every day for regular or special visits. I am currently in school for veterinary medicine to be able to help pets further! I have two friendly cats and a small nervous but friendly dog, at any point they can be kept away from your pet if needed. I have a fenced in backyard in a neighborhood with walking trails and a dog park.
“When dropping our fur babies off with Emma they were greeting with love and you can definitely tell Emma has passion for pets. She kept us updated on how Mr.Roadie and Miss Rayla were doing with pictures and videos. We will definitely recommend Emma to our friends and family.”
About: I am very picky when it comes to the care of my dogs. They have a specific routine and eating schedule. They are my babies and I care for them as I would care for myself. I will absolutely make sure to do the same for your fur babies as well. I am dedicated to making other owners feel safe just the same as I need when I have to be away from my babies. I work remotely part time and can be available for full time care. I have cameras that I monitor our home. We enjoy going on long walks in the morning and in the evening when the sun begins setting in the heat of summer. In the cooler (not cold or freezing weather) seasons, we go on a mid-day walk and on the really pretty days we love to go for as many walks or adventures that we can. My babies usually get 2-4 20 to 30 minute walks per day, more activity outdoor time with beautiful weather. I have 2 dogs at home that eat, walk, play and relax on a routine. I have a safe and secure fenced in yard, but it is small. There is a dog park around the corner and lots of walking trails. I take my dogs on "adventures" and they do have seat belts to keep them safe in the car. Your pets would be a part of our family and I would have them on a similar schedule unless directed to do something different by you. I work less than a mile from my home and have cameras all over my house. I am able to be home within 5 minutes or less if needed when I am away. Walks, outside & play time are very dependent on the weather. We don't go outside in lightning at all or if it is raining weather we only go out back for potty breaks and I look at weather apps multiple times a day because I do have a sweet girl that does not handle storms well at all. We have a dog park in the neighborhood and great walking trails. We go on long adventures as much as possible as long as it is not too hot or cold. Paw pad inspections are done with my bare feet on the concreate before my babies are allowed to walk. My sweet girl is older, so Leia is not able to handle the heat like Kylo. I am also very mindful of this. Your babies would be treated as if they were my babies unless there are other things you need me to do that I am currently not doing for my own.
“Layla was very sweet, friendly and easy to communicate with! Her fur baby is absolutely precious. She kept me updated, sent pictures and my Bubs had a good visit with her and came home. Happy! I would definitely use her again and definitely recommend!”
“Sarah was very sweet! I was super nervous as I had never left Oakley with a sitter before, but Sarah was very accommodating and assuring. She sent daily pictures and was happy to have Oakley stay!”
“My pup had a great time at Amye's house! She has a nice fenced yard and a very playful host dog. Amye is flexible and drop off and pickup and there is always someone at the house to give my girl some attention. My pup was twitching and running in her sleep when she got home so that's a sign of a good day”
“Im so grateful for Geneva! I was in a bind last minute and I reached out to her. She responded so quickly to my request and watched my Ralphie for a whole day! She has a very cute home with a great backyard for him to play in. Ralphie was in great spirits when I picked him up and slept so soundly when we came home. I kniw he had such a great day with her! Thank you Geneva 😊 I've got her booked for next weekend already and I know Ralphie is excited too. Thank you for taking care of my boy 😌 I know he's in good hands with her ❤️”

“Was very helpful accepting my request last minute. Came here for a meet and greet and was very curious about any potential trial issues my dog may have while out on walks. Was very good at communicating when she was coming and when she arrived and even saved me when I accidentally overlooked that she was booked for ongoing walks and a payment was submitted that should not have gone through. Highly recommended from this customer. Hard to find someone willing to take on the challenges of walking a large breed Cane Corso like mine.”
About: I’ve owned animals of many kinds since I was born, and been a primary caretaker since I was about 10! I’ve been trusted to care for animals of every age - from rambunctious puppies and kittens to seniors who need a little more patience - and every size, whether it be a giant dog or a fragile kitten. I understand the importance of individual care, so I am ready to learn all about your animals and adapt to their needs. Additionally, I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant and have experience with many basic care skills. I am familiar with routine care such as feeding routines, walking, bathing, and training. I have ample experience with oral, injectable, and topical medications, and can confidently administer first aid if necessary. Additionally, I am ready to slow down and give extra care to any senior or special needs animal who may need a little more attention. I hope to make every pet feel as safe and comfortable as possible while in my care, and will make sure to keep you updated with pictures! I currently don’t work, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. They can have my full attention, I can make frequent visits, or just drop by every once in a while, whatever works best! Saturdays I am not available for walks, but I am happy to sit through the weekend if needed! While I don’t offer sitting in my home due to my own dogs, I am confident I can adapt to whatever routine your animals are used to in your home. Whether they are high maintenance or totally chill, I am willing to provide whatever necessary to make sitting as stress-free as possible!
“Thank you for helping us with a last-minute booking! You were so sweet with our fur babies, and we really appreciated your care and flexibility. Happily book again!”
About: Ever since I could remember, I have been raised in a household with multiple dogs. I was allowed to supervise them while my parents would go on vacations, which was always a blast. While working for Rover, I have gained much experience handling elderly animals, administering oral medications, and learning how to bond with even the most timid animals. I love working with dogs and cats since it is a rewarding experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I work as a Rover pet sitter and dog walker while completing my online master’s program. I have flexibility throughout the week to schedule walks, drop ins, and pet sitting visits around my coursework. I do ask for about two days notice when possible so I can plan ahead and set aside dedicated time for each pet. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care while balancing my school schedule. I am also very strict with frequent restroom breaks for the pets so they don't experience discomfort under my care. If needed, I can administer oral medications to both cats and dogs. In addition, I'm always careful with animals and their body language. Your pet must be feeling safe and comfortable with me, so I always encourage owners to meet with me for a meet and greet before I begin visits!
“Emily is great! She communicates well, is super sweet, and our dog loves his walks with her. She has been so helpful and I would recommend her to anyone who needs some help with their fur baby!”
About: I have always grown up with animals my whole life. I have had dogs, cats, hamsters, gerbils, and fish over my life time and actually haven’t ever not had a pet! I love swimming, running, walking, and playing with dogs or any other animals! I currently have a charcoal lab and black cat that i love so much!!! Ive also been around horses most of my life. I normally take care of some of my neighbors animals but wanted to venture out and also become more active! I think every animal is a blessing from God and deserves to be loved in life❤️ I’m also young so I love to stay active Since finishing my volleyball career, I have found myself with a lot more time and also not able to be as active so I am wanting to try and get out more and be more active whether that’s by playing or walking animals! I have a pool at my house so if your animal loves the water, I would love to bring it here to play in the pool and if good with dogs I would love for my dog to be able to play with yours! I also am able to do in-home care or pet sitting! That being over night or just taking care throught the day and checking on them every so often. I am almost completely free throught the summer!!
About: I've been taking care of animals in some capacity my entire life. I'm going to study zoology to continue this pattern, as I want to work with animals in a more professional setting and learn more about them. Animals genuinely are my purpose in life, meaning you can trust me to be caring and loving with your pets. My only true commitment is classes I'm taking at a community college. I only am taking a couple classes a semester though, meaning I have a lot of free time. I do also volunteer at an animal shelter, but I am able to choose my schedule for that, meaning it shouldn't be an issue. I love taking photos of pets and will make sure to send them to you, so you can see they're doing well. I love to play with dogs, or cuddle if they're comfortable with me. If your dog knows any tricks, I'm happy to take them through what they know to help keep their mind engaged and calm them down.
About: As a lifelong dog and cat owner with four years of dedicated pet-sitting experience, I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to your pet's unique routine and personality. Over the years, I have successfully managed a wide range of real-world scenarios, from maintaining strict potty-training and crate schedules for energetic puppies to providing gentle, patient care for senior dogs who require frequent bathroom breaks and strict, time-sensitive medication administration. I love high-energy breeds that need structured exercise, but I am equally skilled with cats, sharing my home with a few of my own and confidently handling all types of feline behavior. Whether your cat is a clever escape artist requiring strict doorway vigilance, or a sassier kitty who tends to bite and scratch, I know how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and keep them safe and comfortable. When your pets are with me, you can rest easy knowing they are receiving the highest level of reliable, vigilant, and loving care. I work part-time as a barista, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the day to dedicate to your pets. Because my schedule is adaptable, I can easily adjust my sleeping and waking hours to match whatever routine your animal needs. You won't have to worry about disrupted routines or missed doses. Whether I am caring for pets in my own home or yours, my primary goal is to provide a loving, calm, and predictable environment where they can truly thrive. I focus on creating a balanced routine that offers plenty of dedicated, high-energy playtime to burn off steam, paired with lots of peaceful downtime for them to rest and relax. I mirror their usual home environment as closely as possible to minimize anxiety, ensuring they feel completely safe, loved, and right at home.

About: Ive always grown up around dogs, and all kinds of animals, but this is my first time getting into something like this. Im super excited!!! I have a very flexible schedule, looking for something to do in between my hours to get out of the house, and make some extra cash and love on your animals! Your pets safety is my number one concern. I will closely follow any pet specific instructions you give to ensure your pets are safe and you can be worry free.
“My 5 month old German Shepherd puppy had a blast on her walk with Ashley and her little boys!! We highly recommend Ashley and we will definitely continue to use her in the future!!”
About: I've had both dogs and cats since I was young. I have worked in vets, rescues, and animal shelters, and have experiences with animals of all ages. My schedule is currently completely open and available, so I am able to watch your pets any day of the week or weekend, at any time! I understand that pet owners know their pets better than anybody! So I follow the instructions exactly as they are given to me. I will give your animals the same love, attention, and care that I would want someone to give mine!
About: 🌴 WHO WILL HAVE A BETTER VACATION YOU OR YOUR PUP? 🚤 📸 Here at DOODS ON DOCKS they will have a great staycation on our beautiful lake property. Enjoy your vacation knowing your dog will be as happy as you are over the holidays or your time away. With my services you get what you pay for. Your dog is a family member. They are not left outside, or in a kennel. They're a part of our home. They sleep with us and do everything we do. I have 30 years experience working with dogs through volunteering and fostering thru the Humane Society and Rescues. I'm very dog savey and most dogs realize I am the pack leader and rely on me for that. I have clients that have senior dogs that require meds, and personal care. This is not a problem. What sets me apart from most pet sitters is that I go above and beyond for the pups. Someone is home 90% of the time. I have had clients that have been with me for many years. At my house you get what you pay for and more. It looks easy and fun on my part however, there’s alot that goes into it besides all the scooping….. Starting with reservations. I always have a free meet and greet. I consider all the dogs I will be having at that time to see if all my guests will enjoy their experience, and how I need to accommodate them. As they arrive, and while they’re here I still study each personality to see who can play together and who would rather just “stay out of it”. Since the dogs live in the house like my own pets, I want to make sure everyone is happy. No dog is crated or kenneled unless that is what the dog requires. There’s outside play time at least twice a day. Which might involve chasing a ball, squirrel, duck, or swimming in the lake, or lounging in the sun. If you need a staycation for your pet where they will come home exhausted and happy, let me know. 1. I can pick up and deliver your pup if needed for an extra fee. 2. I live on the lake. 3. I can also bath and do light grooming if needed including nails. 4. 📸 But the most important thing is that pictures and communication cell 📱 📞 with the pups parents are sent many times a day so that you know your dog is safe, and basically having a blast here at my house. We live on the lake so there's lots of room to run and play, however we do have a dog area with a doggie door so they can come and go. All dogs live inside with us and sleep in our room if they want to. My family works from home so someone is here most of the time. My personal dogs are use to having dogs visit us at home and it's never an issue. All dogs are treated like our own and loved. Their needs are always accommodated so that their parents can feel assured that they are well taken care of without any worries while they are gone. I have a doggie area that is large that the dogs can use with a doggie door. This area also has our hot tub so they often play outside or "talk" to us while we use the hot tub. I have a large back yard that the dogs can enjoy while we are there to supervise them. Dogs are not left unattended in the back yard. I live on a quiet one way street with neighbors only to the left and right of me. We all know each others dogs and can identify them.

He has his own room and space where he can go to sleep and play if he doesn’t not want to be bothered . I will treat your pet like my own .

I have never had someone watch him before and was a little worried about how he would do, but Ericka and Robert were so kind throughout the whole process and sent me updates along the way ! They were kind enough to work with me when troubles arose and I had to extend his stay! 100% would book with them again!!”

About: I have years of experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs and chickens to managing hundreds of horses. My extensive knowledge in animal care ensures that I provide personalized attention and meet each dog's unique needs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors requiring extra attention, and can handle any special requirements or medications. With a true passion for animals and a lifetime of experience, I create a safe, loving environment where your pet will feel at home. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I manage my own dogs, horses, cats and chickens daily at our 10.5 are ranch home, ensuring each animal is well-cared for with attention, exercise, and love. Your pet will seamlessly fit into my routine, receiving the same dedicated care and affection. At our 10.5-acre horse property, pets have plenty of space to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors. They are free to roam safely in designated areas, and I ensure regular exercise with walks and playtime tailored to their needs. Inside, pets have a comfortable, clean environment to relax in. For clients preferring in-home care, I follow your pet's routine closely, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable while maintaining their daily habits. Whether here on our spacious property or in your home, I offer personalized attention to meet every pet's unique needs.
“Thank you so much, Araselly, for taking such wonderful care of Copper. This was my first time leaving him with anyone other than his vet’s boarding, and you made it feel completely natural. You were so caring, and I could tell Copper felt loved and safe — like he was with family. Your updates and photos showed how happy he was, and it made my trip so much more relaxing. Knowing he was in exceptional hands meant everything to me. Thank you a billion times over!”

Plus, not to mention, she has one of the best properties that all of the doggies love. She sent us updates throughout the weekend and we could see our dog’s smile in all of the photos she sent. Thanks Dan and Melinda!!”

“When you book with Susan, the whole family spoils your baby! Pugsley loves them all. Susan kept me reasonably updated with pictures and comments. They even read him a bedtime story! He's on a diet and they did a great job of loving him without excessive treats. He will stay again. Almost forgot. I was given hand-drawn pictures to post by his crate and a lovely keepsake. I'm quite happy!”
