About: Hi! I grew up showing dogs in AKC and 4-H, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve spent time around dogs and cats, and I really just love being around animals. I have two cats of my own now, and I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide calm, loving, and reliable care for every pet as if they were my own. You can expect quick communication, regular photo updates, and a safe, pet-friendly environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Boarding: Cozy, supervised care in a home environment with lots of attention. Drop-Ins: Feeding, fresh water, cleanup if needed, and quality time with your pet. Dog Walking: Safe, relaxed walks tailored to your dog’s pace and energy level. I also have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention and accommodate different care needs throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines, medications, and behavior needs to make sure your pet stays on track and stress-free. I also pay close attention to each pet’s body language and comfort level so I can respond appropriately to their needs. For walks and drop-ins, I prioritize safe handling, secure leashing, and careful attention to surroundings at all times. In my home, pets are always supervised in a clean, safe space designed to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I believe trust is built through clear communication, so I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away
“Jacob did a beautiful job with our dog Ripley; he was communicative, stuck to the schedule we provided, and sent us many adorable photos of Ripley during their time together (which helped us miss him a little less!). I think it helps that Jacob himself is so calm, as is his space, that Ripley, who is a bit hyper, was chilled out too. Would heartily recommend Jacob to anyone who needs a safe, reliable, and responsible sitter!”
“Sabri was super responsive and personable. She sent frequent updates with pictures of my fur baby. I also had a last minute change with my schedule and she was able to accommodate me almost immediately! Being active duty military and traveling to mid country from the east coast is already stressful enough (with a one year old) but to know that my fur baby was in good hands definitely relieved some of that stress. If you're looking for a fur baby sitter in the FTW area, I'd highly recommend her. Thank you again Sabri! <3”
“Sarah was absolutely THE BEST! She made sure Nelly was comfortable and gave her treats and hugs and walks. She sent me updates every day letting me know that Nelly was doing fine and having a good time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. she is AWESOME!”
About: I have been around pets all my life. I grew up on a farm with several different animals. Our family favorite has always been dogs. Now, I share that enjoyment with my kids. They love being around dogs too! We enjoy walking our own dogs and playing with them. Your pet would have a loving environment with lots of attention with us! I am a stay at home mom. So, currently, I have plenty of time to schedule pet care. Please let me know when your pet needs some TLC!) We have a fenced back yard with room for dogs to go out and stretch and take care of other business:-) We have two dogs that can easily stay with family while we watch your fur baby, or our little dog, can stay to give your dog company. We will be happy to play fetch or go on walks as well.
“This was my first time using rover and Angela was great! I was nervous as it was a last minute change before traveling, but she made everything calmer and smoother. She made everything very easy, was flexible and accommodating, and appeared to really enjoy interacting with my dog. I would definitely use her again!”
“We are beyond happy with Makae’s services. Can’t say enough good words about her and her family. Everything went great. From communication when booking, to her sending us daily updates and pics of our pup, she really made us feel at ease and worry free. Would definitely recommend.”
“Leaving our dogs with Ernest instead of boarding them at a Pet Suites was the best decision we’ve made. We were at ease knowing they were getting cared for while we were on vacation, and they seemed to enjoy him and his son. Ernest sent us pictures and updates very often which I loved. We would absolutely leave our pups with him again!”
“When Walter is with Malcolm and his family we don’t worry. We know he’s in a loving caring environment. He loves staying “at camp” and when we ask if he’s ready for camp he gets so excited. Can’t say enough about how well Walter ( our spaz) is taken care of and loved while we’re away. Our thanks to Malcolm and his family.”
“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”

“Awesome service! She was always a few minutes early, flexible when I asked for changes and spent plenty of time with my animals. She also takes great pictures which I love seeing while I’m away. I always miss my pets. Thank you and will be booking 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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! She took great care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We truly appreciate her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing when I was scrolling looking for someone I just got a great feeling about her I made the perfect Choice. I was away on a birthday trip 7 days, and she took incredible care of my cat, Arrow, the entire time. She kept in touch with me every day, sending updates and pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She made sure Arrow was well cared for, played with him, scooped his litter box, and even took the litter outside afterward to make sure my apartment stayed fresh which was great to come home to. She also took the time to let him drink from the faucet his absolute favorite thing! which showed me that she really paid attention to his personality and routines. On top of taking such great care of Arrow, Amber went above and beyond by bringing my trash can in and even putting my birthday flowers inside the house and in fridge to keep them fresh for me 🥹 It’s clear that Amber genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them like her own. Knowing Arrow and my home were in such good hands allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“This is my first time to use a Pet Care Service. I have 2 cats, one friendly and social cat rescued through an agency, while the other I rescued literally from the wild. Anyway she is still very weary of strangers. However she would show herself to Jennifer. The other loved all of the attention Jennifer could give as he didn’t have to compete for attention. Jennifer took such good care. I could tell she talked to them, lots of petting which she showed me pictures of. She tried to use toys to play with them. She would do little special things that I told her they liked. She was prompt in each of her “Report Cards” corresponding with her scheduled time to visit and care for them, with pots of picket I appreciated. I felt she really cared for my kitties and I was reassured with each report card they were being “loved on”. I highly recommend Jennifer O. to care for your pets. I felt safe letting her into our home.”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful with Kann! Her communication was top-notch — she kept me updated throughout the entire visit and sent so many great photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was thorough and attentive, making sure Kann was fed, his litter box was cleaned, and he had plenty of playtime. It was clear she genuinely cared about his comfort and wellbeing. Kann warmed up to her right away, and I could tell he was in great hands. I would highly recommend Lauren to any pet owner and will definitely be booking with.”
“We will absolutely book Karrington again! She was super communicative and took lots of photos of our four cats for us while we were gone. Fantastic experience - highly recommend!!”
“Second time I have used Sofia! She is AMAZING! Very kind and will take great care of your fur babies. I love my animals like children and the horror stories of rovers scares me! I am so thankful to have found a great sitter I can trust!”
“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.”
“Ava was perfect for my 11 year old lab while I was gone for a week. She was super communicative and flexible giving consistent updates and paying attention to how my dog was acting so I didn’t have to stress or wonder.”
“Gigi (Aracely) dropped in on my two younger cats everyday for almost two weeks and did an incredible job! My babies are happier than ever, she was communicative with updates and photos/videos, kept my home nice and tidy, and basically just exceeded expectations in all aspects. I’ll definitely be asking her back and would highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy pet sitter.”

I understand feline behavior, boundaries, feeding routines, litter maintenance, and how to provide affection without overwhelming them. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to changes in behavior, ensuring cats feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own space.
“Kendall was amazing with our cat Mizu! 🤍 She sent detailed updates and lots of photos, and we could tell Mizu was so comfortable and well cared for with her. Mizu clearly loved her too 🥺 She was also able to accommodate us with last-minute additional days of coverage, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful for her and would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend Kendall to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Callie is wonderful at looking after my cat while I’m out on vacation. Great communications with her, and I really appreciate her daily photos and updates! Knowing that my cat is taken care of by someone trustworthy. Recommend!”

“We had a wonderful experience. Lucho was very well taken care of, and we received updates and photos throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. He can be shy at first, and the patience and kindness he received made a big difference. We will definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“Emily was great and communicated well. It was a last-minute request and she made the process super easy. Bubby had a great visit and came home happy! I would definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“Layla is so sweet and is very easy to work with. She gives good updates with photos. My friend she enjoyed his time with her and came home happy! I would definitely recommend her and use her services again!”
“Ernest accepted a last-minute booking for Mylo and did an outstanding job. From the moment we met him, it was clear how attentive and observant he is. He quickly picked up on Mylo’s personality and routine, noting that he’s less interested in constant play and prefers to relax, nap, and simply hang out during the day—which is absolutely accurate. We were especially impressed by the little details. Mylo finished all of his food while in Ernest’s care, and Ernest kept us updated throughout the stay. What stood out most was how gently he handled Mylo when he was hesitant about being separated from us. Instead of pulling or dragging him along, Ernest calmly picked him up and made the transition as stress-free as possible. Moments like that show someone who genuinely enjoys and cares about animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mylo with Ernest and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.”
“Sarah was kind, responsive, and took well care of Oreo. Pickup was carried out within the booked booking window, and communication was smooth overall. I appreciate her taking care of my dog :)”
“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 ❤️”

“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.”
“Mya did such a great job with my girl Mina on such short notice! Will definitely be using her as our sitter going forward. She had such a nice time with her dog as well & was very caring for her while she was in heat changing her diaper often. Could not suggest her as a sitter more!”
“Monica is the best! Very prompt and courteous in replying to messages, and very personable overall. Our dogs had a blast with her, even our grumpy Frenchie! She is very experienced and adept at handling multiple dogs at once, and has systems for separating pups if needed. We will definitely be booking with Monica again for our doggy needs.”

“Thank you Kathleen for keeping my Brownee for daycare. I appreciate your prompt responses during her stay, the updates you shared, and your attentiveness to the different personalities of the pups in your care. We look forward to Brownee’s next visit.”
“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 🩷”
“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.”
“Outstanding service! My experience with Allison was beyond exceptional. Not only did she take care of my furry family member with the utmost love and attention, but her dedication and professionalism truly stood out. Her genuine passion for animals shone through in every interaction. My puppy was not just looked after; she was showered with affection and given personalized care. I received regular updates, which put my mind at ease during her time away. I highly recommend Allison for anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. She is a true gem in the world of pet care!”
“Melinda is totally amazing. She and her husband were so sweet, and cared for my pooch so well. He loved being in her fenced yard with the other dogs. He was so happy (and nice and tired) each day I went to pick him up, and it was clear he was not stressed in any way. The yard has plenty of shade for hot Texas days, and the home has concrete floors to help keep pets cool. They clearly take great care of their place and their pets. I highly, highly recommend Melinda and would not hesitate a moment to book her again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for 10 years when I would pet sit for my friend's family! This encouraged me to adopt my own. I work at the local hospital and love going on afternoon walks throughout the week, this would be easy to incorporate anytime! Mostly free on the evenings and all weekend. I have a fenced backyard and a local dog walking area. I do have a puppy but he gets along with others and stays at my brothers house most of the time!

I will most definitely use her again.”
“Jaime was very understanding when he was at my house to walk my Dozer for the 1st time... seeing how I had a emergency come up and I completely forgot that he was coming to my house. I wasn't there.. but I let him in. He still just let my dozer out to potty even tho my dog was so scared and was running from him. My fault completely.. but Jaime still handled things professionally . I really appreciate you !”

This includes weekends as well! I will care for your pet as I do mine. I don’t do hard discipline or yelling unless that is something the client wants. I will also make sure that any mess the pets may make will be cleaned up and creat a safe environment within your home.
“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.”

Growing up around dogs and cats of all sizes has made me very comfortable and confident with animals of different personalities and energy levels.

I also spend quality time with them so they feel less stressed and more comfortable while their owner is away. For dog walks, I make sure each walk matches the dog’s energy level and needs, whether that means a slow relaxed walk or a more active one. I always prioritize safety by staying attentive to surroundings, keeping pets secure on walks, and making sure they return home happy and comfortable. I’m very patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy building trust with animals and their owners. If I have any questions or doubts I will always communicate clearly with you!

“Sarah was absolutely THE BEST! She made sure Nelly was comfortable and gave her treats and hugs and walks. She sent me updates every day letting me know that Nelly was doing fine and having a good time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. she is AWESOME!”
“We are beyond happy with Makae’s services. Can’t say enough good words about her and her family. Everything went great. From communication when booking, to her sending us daily updates and pics of our pup, she really made us feel at ease and worry free. Would definitely recommend.”

She sent updates and pictures everyday and answered all my questions before drop off! 10/10 recommend!!!!!”
About: EXPERIENCE Professional experience in the dog boarding industry as well as 39 years of constant com*paw*nionship. I've only been 2 years of my entire life without a dog. A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MY DOGS My dogs live inside with me! They sleep at the foot of my bed on my bed (until I've had enough and nudge them off) and are employeed full time as my indoor shadow. It's a necessary expense!!! PERSONAL HISTORY/INSIGHT I'm a die-hard loyal companion to my pups bc they are to me first! Never surrendered a single one of my pets no matter the alternative road I faced! Moved and couldnt keep my dog? Didnt move. Approved on home under terms: No Dog, my reply, "my dog and me or deal breaker". I commit whole heartedly and for LIFE! How many people can say that and it be truth? I was the little girl who got untrusting strays to follow her home which I did by singing song from the little mermaid and Andrew Lloyd webber songs. <--yes...u read that right. They have always trusted me and warmed up to me extremely easily. WISDOM/RESILIENCE Growing up...a neighborhood dog almost ended my life and guess what....I learned a lot on what NOT to do and kept the bond strong. What happened to me didn't phase me. CONCLUSION I've always preferred the company of animals over people for many reasons. But don't judge me .... HIRE me. The friendship, respect, consideration and connection I can't help is of the absolute highest caliber. Period. I work from home and am extremely active. I'm an outdoorsy rebel who loves to explore the areas off the path. Hiking is how I stay going and sane. Dogs usually go with me. I care for them by being present and constantly engaged. I notice when they are laying on the floor and don't have something soft. I know the things to look for before a fight breaks out and I also know exactly how to get them to stop that does not risk either of the dogs or myself. *INSIDE THE HOME IS ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WITH YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DOING JUST THIS...HIS PET IS ACTUALLY IN THE PHOTOS. AND HE CAN PROVIDE REFERENCES UPON REQUEST!
“Duston and Elisa did amazing with my dog Tuckett! She is 14 years old and so she has a lot of pills and health issues and I was so worried to leave her for my honeymoon but I felt so much better leaving her with them! They kept me updated, but didn’t bombard me with messages knowing it was my wedding and honeymoon. They were so kind and accommodating! I will definitely use them again! Thank you guys!”
“Mary & Bob were so sweet, had amazing communication, and were exactly what we were looking for for our baby! We will definitely be booking them in the future. They took amazing care of our dog.”
“Always in good hands with Ericka and Robert! Very accommodating and good communication, our dog loves playing with their doggo’s and always comes home happy!”
“My dog had a blast at Yvonnes house! I loved getting my daily updates and a ton of pictures. Glad to know he had a home away from home and was just as spoiled!”
