About: I have taken care of animals my entire life, from dogs, cats and horses to turtles, hedgehogs and even chinchillas and am very comfortable and capable of providing the top level of care to your pets I work professionally as a barber on a flexible appointment based schedule that allows for me to be home most of the time with my children and pets. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs who are crate trained. My six-year-old daughter is very compassionate and hands-on with caring for the animals in our home. I have several years of housesitting and pet setting for others and have been told I leave homes better than I found them and come highly recommended.
“I have never left my dogs with someone else before so I was a little hesitant, but unfortunately I didn’t have a choice. I will say that Cheri made it a very pleasant experience and my dogs were well taken care of. Her daily updates and pictures helped keep me at ease considering I was so far away. If I ever need to hire a sitter again, I will not hesitate to reach out to Cheri. I appreciate everything she did for me and my dogs!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Alexia! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves and cares for dogs. She was thoughtful, attentive, and treated our dog, Cosmo, like he was part of her own family. Knowing Cosmo was in such loving hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Alexia kept us updated, made sure he was well cared for, and went above and beyond to ensure he was happy and comfortable. We wholeheartedly recommend Alexia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. We look forward to supporting her business again in the future—and we’re already excited to get Cosmo together with her sweet pup, George, for a playdate soon! Thank you, Alexia, for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”

I have a large yard that allows my pets to run back and forth. They come in at night and love to cuddle on mommas bed.
About: I’ve owned a Labrador for 17 years and have been taking care of dogs the last 8 years. I’ve been entrusted to walk, feed, play, & groom pets of friends and neighbors, and Lola got along with all of them. Keeping them on a routine was fine. I was able to teach Lola many commands using verbal and hand gestures. Discipline and routine is something I enforce so that the pups don’t get restless energy with new changes.❤️ Lola has recently passed away, so my availability has opened much more. I am a personal chef and build my own schedule. I recently moved back to Corsicana area and am happy to meet new pets & clients. I make sure to be on time and keeping the dog in routine and discipline that has been established by you and yours. I can crate your pet. I can cuddle with them too! I’m a super affectionate care taker.
About: I've been around dogs my whole life. From large breeds such as Great Pyrenees, to small but mighty dogs like Chihuahua's and Jack Russells. I've helped in training our German Shepherd through his fear based reactivity, and raised a Labrador puppy all on my own. I specialize in using positive training, so I don't mind if your dog doesn't have the best leash manners. I may be small in stature, but I can handle large dogs too! I am not currently employed outside of Rover, so i am available almost 24/7. I love dogs and want to spend as much time with them as possible! I have three crazy, hyper, but smart dogs who love to play fetch and tug! They all have been trained using positive training methods, and all of them are lovers.

About: I’ve always had dogs around my life and recently adopted one of my own, with my college roommate (he is spending the summer with her🥲)! As I’m back in town, I’m looking for ways to keep myself busy and keep furry friends around! My schedule is very open as I’m back for summer break so that means I can work with anyone’s times and whatever one might need! I spend a lot of my time at workout classes or walks around town. I live in a fenced pet friendly home, I do not have dogs at home anymore since my childhood pets passed away but my family kindly greats all furry friends! I like to follow a schedule and will meet all needs.

“Wonderful! Highly recommended. Our dogs can be anxious and she put them at ease, but handling them with love and caring. She provided lots of photos and updates to let us know how they were doing. ♥️”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Alexia! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves and cares for dogs. She was thoughtful, attentive, and treated our dog, Cosmo, like he was part of her own family. Knowing Cosmo was in such loving hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Alexia kept us updated, made sure he was well cared for, and went above and beyond to ensure he was happy and comfortable. We wholeheartedly recommend Alexia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. We look forward to supporting her business again in the future—and we’re already excited to get Cosmo together with her sweet pup, George, for a playdate soon! Thank you, Alexia, for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”

“Amanda and her fam were exceptional in caring for my girl. She got all the love and attention that she desired but also me time as she likes as well. I liked how when it was time to go, she turned around for a nice goodbye pet, then was like, ok I'm ready.”

“Shaylor and his family were such great caregivers to my dog! The whole family is so kind, and they sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout her stay. I could tell by the pictures that my pup was having a blast. I left her with them over Christmas, and they even got her a couple toys for Xmas morning. So sweet! Would DEFINITELY recommend:)”

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies who need patience, consistency, and reinforcement of basic training, as well as senior dogs who require extra attention, medication management, and gentle care. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is receiving personalized attention, plenty of affection, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay. Your dog's happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors and make sure pets get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, playtime in the yard, potty breaks, or evening strolls, I structure my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent care and companionship. I have individual climate-controlled kennels in a secure, fenced yard, providing a comfortable and safe environment for every dog. Each dog receives personalized care based on their temperament and needs, with options for both individual playtime and supervised group socialization.
“I didn't get to meet Jennifer this time, but Justin was so nice. They took my energetic puppy with short notice, and he had a blast, he came back all played out lol. I would love for them to be Huck's sisters anytime I'm away”

“Suraj and his family were EXCEPTIONAL!. He communicated frequently with photos and messages during boarding. They went above and beyond to take care of our beloved Lucy, especially during new years eve fireworks celebration! We will definitively be using their services again! They are wonderful! Thank you Suraj! The Burgos Family”
