“Shelley is absolutely amazing! We feel so lucky to have found her to care for our dog, Opie. She truly loves him and treats him like a king every time he stays with her. Opie always comes home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for, and he gets so excited every time he gets to see Shelley again! It gives us such peace of mind knowing Opie is with someone who genuinely cares about him and treats him like her own. Shelley is dependable, loving, attentive, and simply the best. We could not recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their furry family member. Opie absolutely adores her, and so do we!”
“Tracy was amazing with our dog who can be very anxious. This was the first time ever that we have picked him up from boarding that he was completely calm and didn’t seem stressed at all. Tracy sent pictures and communicated all weekend. I would recommend Tracy to anyone. Our little guy was treated with care and love just like he was one of their own.”
“We LOVE Lexi! I can’t count the amount of times our pups have stayed with her. We have a senior dog and a hyper mutt but both come home super happy and well taken care of. Lexi sends plenty of pictures throughout their time with her and keeps us updated during their stay. We’ll continue to send our pups to Lexi as long as she’ll have us!”
“Eliza took great care of my two elderly, stubborn dogs so I could take a last minute trip out of town. It’s always nerve wracking leaving the elderly pups but she made the transition smooth and comfortable for them.”
“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! :)”
“Monica and her family were really sweet and took good care of our two dogs while we were in the middle of a move. She gave us peace of mind with updates and pictures throughout the boarding. I’d definitely book her again in the future!”
“If you’re looking for a top tier 5 star dog sitter then Joe is your man. He took the best care of our pup while we were out of town. Joe sent us multiple videos of our pup and how well she was doing her entire stay with him. I can’t recommend him enough.”
“My dog loves to stay with Jerry! He always comes back home happy and tired from all the playing. Although we miss him when he’s away, we get pictures every day and that makes it easier. I can always be sure he is safe and taken care of.”
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.
“Linda did an excellent job while keeping my dog on vacation. He really enjoyed his time there and she took care of him just as well as I would! I would definitely recommend Linda as she receives a 10 star rating from me! I will most definitely use her for future boarding!”
“This sitter was wonderful .. coco was very happy they and the kids loved him the whole time, we will definitely becoming back .. thank you so much for taking care of of my fur baby”

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)!

My dog is always well taken care of, happy, and clearly loved while I’m away.I received regular updates and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pet, but she exceeded all expectations.

About: Hi! My name is Lexie. i have two dogs, Astro and Stark. Those two boys are what got me into the pet care environment. Searching for a sitter or dog walker for them made me realize I would only want the BEST for my two boys. So I decided to become one myself. I have years of experience with dogs, cats, birds, horses, goats, chickens, exotics including hedgehogs, snakes, guinea pigs, fish and many more. I am a freelance dog trainer and groom my own dogs so if your pooch needs a little spiffy up while you’re gone don’t worry! I worked in animal rescue for many years and now do dog sports so I have experience with nearly every breed of dog imaginable. My own dogs are very high energy and need both mental stimulation and physical exercise so that’s why I also offer dog walking services. Contact me if you have ANY questions or want to meet me before booking an appointment. I’ll be happy to oblige. I am usually at home caring for the dogs! I am a dog trainer so I am available to play with the dogs and let them out most of the day. I have 1 acre fenced in. If your dog is an escape artist like mine, they will be leash walked or supervised in the backyard. I do utilize a crate if you provide it. If you prefer your dog to not be in one that is respected!
“Monica was prompt, helpful, and accommodating when i needed a last minute dog sitter. My dog, Honey Bear, hung out with her in her home, where Monica treated HB like one of her own pups. HB was only there for the afternoon, but i’m happy Monica was able to watch her while i had business in Longview! I would work with her again in the future, and suggest that you do, too!”
About: Howdy fellow pet lovers. I’m Keith, and along with my daughter, Karsyn, we just launched a friendly dog service called Haywood’s Happy Hounds.

Haywood alongside our children. My youngest daughter really took a liking to Krew when we got him as a wee pup, so she’s going along on this doggie journey with me. Don’t want to be in the rain? We’ll walk your GreatDane! Late starting supper? We’ll gladly walk your pupper. Need someone to puppy sit? We’ll watch your lovely, fluffy ShihTzu. Friendly dog, but no one to watch her? I’ll come sit your boxer! Whatever your doggie needs, our Daddy&Daughter tandem can provide it, indeed! Rain, sleet, snow or hail, we offer our services like the postal mail! We’ll treat your furry friends like one of our own and return them happier than when they arrived. I’m available most days and weekends for sitting.

We have a nice sized, fenced yard, where our own dogs AND children love roaming around and playing in. I’m sure your pups will too.

About: Growing up I have always been an animal lover. At my house we have always had all types of animals dogs, cats, pigs etc etc. I am very good with all types of animals and I will treat your dog with the same amount of kindness and love you would treat your dog. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with a stranger especially in this day and age where people can be really scary and not trusty worthy- which is why if you trust me you won’t be let down! your fur baby will be in good hands :) I don’t think of it as a job it makes my heart happy knowing that i can help you ease your mind and help take one thing off your plate when traveling :) I currently work part time at the olive garden in longview but I pretty much am able to make my own schedules so i can be available whenever I am needed :) I live on property that is gated so your animal will not be able to run out. I have 4 other dogs that are very well behaved and love to meet and play with new animals however if that doesn’t fit for your dog i also do have secluded areas where they can be kept away from other dogs.
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.

“Shelley is absolutely amazing! We feel so lucky to have found her to care for our dog, Opie. She truly loves him and treats him like a king every time he stays with her. Opie always comes home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for, and he gets so excited every time he gets to see Shelley again! It gives us such peace of mind knowing Opie is with someone who genuinely cares about him and treats him like her own. Shelley is dependable, loving, attentive, and simply the best. We could not recommend her more highly to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their furry family member. Opie absolutely adores her, and so do we!”
“Tracy was amazing with our dog who can be very anxious. This was the first time ever that we have picked him up from boarding that he was completely calm and didn’t seem stressed at all. Tracy sent pictures and communicated all weekend. I would recommend Tracy to anyone. Our little guy was treated with care and love just like he was one of their own.”
“We LOVE Lexi! I can’t count the amount of times our pups have stayed with her. We have a senior dog and a hyper mutt but both come home super happy and well taken care of. Lexi sends plenty of pictures throughout their time with her and keeps us updated during their stay. We’ll continue to send our pups to Lexi as long as she’ll have us!”
“Eliza took great care of my two elderly, stubborn dogs so I could take a last minute trip out of town. It’s always nerve wracking leaving the elderly pups but she made the transition smooth and comfortable for them.”
“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! :)”
“Monica and her family were really sweet and took good care of our two dogs while we were in the middle of a move. She gave us peace of mind with updates and pictures throughout the boarding. I’d definitely book her again in the future!”
“If you’re looking for a top tier 5 star dog sitter then Joe is your man. He took the best care of our pup while we were out of town. Joe sent us multiple videos of our pup and how well she was doing her entire stay with him. I can’t recommend him enough.”
“My dog loves to stay with Jerry! He always comes back home happy and tired from all the playing. Although we miss him when he’s away, we get pictures every day and that makes it easier. I can always be sure he is safe and taken care of.”
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.
