“I booked with Melissa for the first time and had a great experience!! She gave regular updates, including pictures, and I could tell my girls were part of the family. I will definitely book with her again!”

“Phenomenal care and attention given to our Frenchie. I'd give 6 stars if I could. Photo and video updates daily, and quick responses to any texts. Even took her on a family day trip! Thank you so much for taking care of her.”
“They were the absolute best! I could not be happier that I chose them to look after my 5 month puppy, Nero. They are a great, friendly couple who kept me updated with photos and shared fun moments they had with Nero. From the moment I met them, I knew that Nero was going to be in good hands and felt very comfortable leaving him. They will always be my first choice whenever I need to board Nero.”
“I love her!!! Communication was excellent, I enjoyed my trip because she was always sending me pictures and videos which gave me peace of mind. My sweet boy came with a little report that says how he behaved and some treats and I think that’s so thoughtful of her🥹♥️♥️♥️”
“Yulia was amazing with our Bluebonnet, who had just been spayed. We had a long track meet to coach and Yulia took amazing care of her with a cone on, recovery suit, pill administration, and all the special needs that come along with surgery. She sent pictures and updates and worked with her so well at the beginning when she was nervous and unsure. We’re very thankful for her care and attention to detail!”
“Madison did a wonderful job with my dog. This was an amazing first time experience with Rover. I was concerned because I have a new dog that is high energy that not everyone can handle and Madison understood the assignment! She provided me regular updates and was very communicative. 10/10 recommend. Thanks Madison!!”
“Christian went above and beyond of taking care of Bella while we were away. He sent us photos and videos of our baby girl. He updated us everyday. We can tell Bella was happy. Thank you Christian”
“Namita and her family were wonderful! It was the first time Ive left my dog with someone new so I was nervous to say the least but I felt as ease as soon as I met Namita. I could tell by just talking to her how much she loved dogs. My dog was in great hands and she sent pictures and updates throughout the stay. I will definitely be using Namita in the future as my dog was happy and loved on during her stay.”
“Keyuana did an exceptional job taking care of Buster for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. She provided daily updates with pictures, and treated Buster with so much love and care. She truly treated Buster like family. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and she will be my go-to pet sitter from now on.”
“My pups stay with Chelsea was fantastic. I'm always a little apprehensive when leaving my dogs somewhere new but they came back happy, healthy, and tired and it showed they truly were on vacation too! Chelsea updated me daily with plenty of photos and texts of how they were doing so the entire time we were away we knew they were in good hands. I would happily recommend her to everyone.”
“Joy took care of Lincoln for 2 weeks. She was very attentive to him and sent us lots of pictures. She was gentle and kind with Lincoln since he had just lost his lifetime buddy, and was a little anxious. She eased her way right into Lincoln’s heart and I could tell when I picked him up they had truly bonded! If you want someone to take care of your dog better than you actually do, Joy is the choice for the job! We hope to leave Lincoln in her care again!”
“Nikki has been a fantastic sitter for our German Shepherd. He is very reserved and has some medical issues. She has no problem giving him medications. And with her dog Turk, she helped him come out of his shell. He is completely relaxed at her place. This is amazing. He rarely get relaxed anywhere but home. We will always use Nikki”
About: Your pampered pooch will feel right at home with lots of focused attention and considerations toward his/her regular routine. I offer personalized care, plenty of one-on-one cuddles, and a cozy, nurturing environment. Between frequent potty breaks and structured play sessions, your pup will have every opportunity to burn off energy or simply lounge. Plus, with a large, fully enclosed backyard, they will have the ultimate playground for high-speed zoomies and safe outdoor exploration. I offer a highly adaptable care environment tailored to your pet's specific routine. Because I homeschool, my daily schedule is fluid and centered around the home. This allows me to prioritize your pup’s needs as they arise and keep a constant watch. From energetic puppies needing frequent play sessions to senior dogs requiring a calm, steady presence, my 10+ years of multi-pet experience ensures I can handle it all. Your pet will never have to 'wait' for a walk or a meal; my flexible availability means their routine remains completely uninterrupted while you're away. Our fully fenced yard is just the beginning of a secure and loving environment where your pet will receive constant supervision. I survey the fence line on a monthly basis to check for holes or potential hazards. Our lawn is cared for on a biweekly basis ensuring low grass for best visibility to any dangers. Fecal matter from any guest is picked up no later than the end of the day to ensure clean and sanitary play space. Not to mention, you'll never have to wonder how they're doing, as I'll be sending frequent updates and photos so you can see all the fun. Our family home is a cheerful place, and while my children enjoy supervised playtime and gentle enrichment games with our guests, I am always the primary caregiver, ensuring your pet feels cherished, cozy, and safe throughout their entire stay.
“Britney was great with Zara. She came home happy and not stressed out at all. Zara especially loved the extra attention from Britney’s son! Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Marcela watched my dog Maisie for 5 days and did a fantastic job. She sent pics and videos everyday and kept me informed on how maisie was eating, sleeping and coping with being some where new. She answered all questions quickly and was available to txt the entire time. Maisie seemed to have a blast with the other dog she was watching as well. She gave maisie lots of outdoor play and run time as she is high energy. Maisie came home happy and I could tell was well taken care of. I would recommend Marcela to other dog owners as she is very attentive and loving to your dog. Thank you Marcela!”

At Kayte & Co., I don’t just “watch” cats — I understand them! 🐈

“Jane was absolutely wonderful! She treated our babies like they were her own. From coming out ahead of time to meet us and our babies, to sending us text and photo updates, we couldn't have been happier with her service. This was our first time to use a professional pet sitter and, of course, we were very nervous about it. Jane was very reassuring and kept in constant contact with us. We look forward to using her the next time we go out of town!”

What makes me stand out? I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll send you regular updates, so you never have to worry, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions to ensure your pet feels right at home.

About: I have been a professional full time dog trainer for over 20 years. I opened my home to in-home boarding and day care a few years ago and absolutely love it. We treat all the animals that stay with us like they are part of our family until their loved ones come back! I send multiple updates a day, pictures and videos as well. I have many references I can offer you as well! It’s very rare that someone is not home with the animals. We spend our days going outside to play (weather permitting), and playing inside as well. The dogs are allowed to veg on the couch (if that’s allowed at their home!), and enjoy spending time with us! We have a 3 acre fenced yard. The dogs love it very much for running and playing. They are never outside unsupervised for any amount of time! Our property is perfect for endless dog fun. 🐾
“Simba had a wonderful day with Mary! He came home relaxed, happy, and without any anxiety. From the updates we received, it looked like he had plenty of playtime and fun throughout the day.

About: I have always grown up with dogs in my house since I was born. I have years of experience dog sitting, dog walking. I own two sweet, gentle amazing dogs — your dog will be safe, spoiled, and loved while staying here. I have a fenced in yard & a dog park close by as well. Reach out for any additional questions - excited to care for your pup! I currently work part time as a nurse and home most days of the week. My schedule is flexible and I will adjust to whatever is needed. I am never gone for more than 4 hours at a time. I have a mini Australian shepherd and a golden retriever. They love playing with new dogs and running around the yard. I live in a community with lots of sidewalks and areas to take your dog if they love walking or exploring.
About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.
About: I’m Breanna, and I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with over two decades of hands-on experience. My home is a hub for happy pups—not only do I have years of personal experience, but I also regularly pet-sit for family and have assisted professional sitters on their weekly routes. Our sweet girl, Nova is a great companion for dogs who prefer their own space. She isn't an 'in-your-face' player; instead, she’s a calm observer who tolerates guest pups well. She takes a few minutes to warm up to new friends, so we prioritize slow, supervised introductions to make sure everyone feels relaxed. She’s the perfect match for a guest dog who just wants a quiet place to hang out. Safety is my top priority—not just for your pups, but for my household too. For that reason, my husband, Isaac, will sometimes join me for off-site visits and walks. We’ve found that this team-based approach works wonders for staying organized and keeping the dogs happy and supervised at all times! I’m comfortable with all types of schedules and am happy to provide the same level of care and attention I give my own pets. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! Full-Time Care at Home: Both my husband and I work from home during the week with very flexible schedules, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. We are able to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the work week. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or just a quiet place to nap near us while we work, we can easily accommodate their routine. Weekend & Personal Schedule: We are available for care seven days a week, with a few set windows for our religious services: • Saturday Mornings: We participate in our ministry work, but are available for the rest of the day and evening. • Sundays: We attend our Christian meetings, but we are fully free outside of those service times to provide care and attention. During these short windows, dogs are safely secured in our home, and we are back quickly to resume our normal routine of play and supervision. Safety & Trust: With over 20 years of dog ownership and experience assisting a professional pet sitter, safety is my primary focus. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs a structured environment to feel secure. • Supervised Introductions: Because my dog, Nova, is polite but independent, I always conduct slow, leashed introductions in a neutral area to ensure all pets feel respected and safe. • Constant Supervision: Since my husband and I both work from home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. • Double-Team Care: Having two adults in the home means there is always a 'backup' to help with leashing, feeding, or managing different energy levels between dogs. Our Environment: We live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood in Anna. Our home is set up to be a peaceful retreat for your pet. • Fenced Yard: We have a secure, fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. • Pet-Friendly Layout: Dogs are welcome in our main living areas. We have plenty of space for crates if your dog prefers their own 'den' for sleeping, or cozy spots for them to lounge near us while we work. • Clean & Secure: We maintain a tidy home (no small objects or hazards left out) and prioritize a calm atmosphere, which is ideal for dogs who might be nervous in a new environment.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Leonard
About: I've owned dogs growing up, as well as watched pets(mainly dogs, cats, and snakes) for family and neighbors for about 10 years now! I have walked, fed, bathed, as well as given different medications to pets, and am comfortable with any breed. I am a fresh college graduate, looking for a good summer time gig! Aside from pet sitting, I also do uber eats/doordash. While pet sitting, I do not have to do deliveries if you would prefer! If needed, I can crate your pets. I am able to walk, pick up, and transport pets as needed. I personally have a lot of energy, so I will happily run around with your pets to get the energy out!

About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.

“I had never hired a dog walker until I met Joshna and her family. Before our 1st scheduled walk they came by for a quick meet and greet which was very nice and really took the time to get to know our fur baby.

“Elaine was amazing. Like most people I treat my dog like my child so it was very important to me she was well cared for. Elaine’s communication was top notch, I received multiple photos each day and she always responded in a reasonable time when I was checking in, which I did a lot! Dallas (my dog) also got a few pup cups and chicken in her dinner (after checking with me if that was okay first). Dallas seemed to have a great time and I would absolutely use her again, in fact I insist!!”
“Angelet was absolutely wonderful! She was able to keep Rosie on very short notice, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I truly appreciated the excellent communication and the extra effort Angelet put into making sure I knew Rosie was happy and doing well.
