“Melissa and her family were wonderful! We couldn't have asked for a better experience!! Bullet enjoyed multiple walks a day, car rides, and hours of quality time with the family. She sent us adorable pictures and videos of Bullet and we felt great knowing he was getting so much attention and play time. We highly recommend Melissa and plan on bringing Bullet back next time we need to travel without him!”
“Dogs came back happy and healthy! I was kept up to date with messages and photos on how my dogs were doing. Jason was super kind and easy to communicate with. Can't recommend him enough!”
“I experienced not only a great trip but 5 days of pure peace of mind because my fur baby was with Molly. She and her whole family was so loving towards her. Best part is getting dose of cute videos of your baby when you are away. Above everything they are so kind!!I highly recommend her for your fur baby.”
“Lea Ann was so wonderful with our senior dog. We didn’t want to board her at a business because she always comes back an anxious mess. Lea Ann provided a cozy home environment with lots of attention and our dog came home to us happy and healthy. I wish we had found Lea Ann sooner! We will definitely reach out to her again to keep our dog in the future. Thank you!!”
“Kiyo has stayed with Jingyi a few times now, and every experience has been amazing! She constantly sends pictures, which reassures us that Kiyo is happy and doing well, playing with other dogs in the backyard. Jingyi takes care of Kiyo just like her own family. She’s my go-to and the best sitter—I can’t recommend her enough!”
“I had a great experience leaving Daisy with Kim. She really cares for your pets and even left me with some extra treats for Daisy. I would definitely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Shannon is a fantastic dog sitter! Togo is high-energy and gets overexcited easily, but Shannon handled him with so much patience. She stayed in constant contact throughout the stay and Togo came home happy. We will definitely be booking with her again!"”
“Lindsay was great to work with, and took great care of our two doodles. She sent lots of pictures and was very responsive with texts. Our girls had a lot of fun with her family and we look forward to the next time!”
“Nithimas is great. Pretzel loved his stay and became besties with her and her dog. She kept me updated with lots of photos and he had the best time. I will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“Madison is absolutely fantastic! You can tell immediately that she genuinely loves animals and it's not just a job for her. She took the best care of my dog and I especially appreciated the detailed updates and adorable pictures she sent. It made being away so much easier! If you want peace of mind knowing your pet is getting lots of love and attention choose Madison. She’s responsible, thoughtful, and all around wonderful!”
“Vanessa was soooo great to work with!! She saved me as my sitter canceled last minute!! Nugget was definitely in good hands! She kept me updated with pics of him!! She was available for him as I needed to extend his stay a couple times! I picked Nugget back up in one piece lol!! It made me happy to hear he had someone to play with! I will definitely book again with her next time I need to!! Thank you thank you sooo much Vanessa”
“Very nice! Stephanie gave updates and sent multiple pictures a day which made me happy each time. Seeing that my dog is doing good, helped me have a stress free vacation.”
“We had never used Rover before and were a little nervous to leave our dog Georgia with a stranger after our regular boarding fell through for Thanksgiving. Cheryl was so friendly and not phased at all by our 70 lb German Shepherd, who can be a little bit rambunctious at times. She sent us pictures daily and I felt confident Georgia was well taken care of and having a great time playing with the other dogs. I would highly recommend Cheryl and definitely plan to use her again.”
“Min was amazing!! She sent photos every day and updated me on how he was doing! She is the best! Super responsive as well! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Banks was well taken care of! Sam & family was very communicative, sent lots of pictures & kept me updated on the status of Banks eating & potty breaks (he was having some stomach issues a few days before). He came back happy (& very tired lol) from playing with their small pup for the weekend. They were also very flexible with pick up time, as I had some issues with travel.”

“Tiffany was a fantastic sitter for my three cats. She continually updated me each day I was traveling and her Rover cards were very thorough. My extremely shy cat even came out to snuggle with her during one visit - that's how I know she is great with animals! I'll definitely work with Tiffany again next time I'm in need of a cat sitter.”
“Zoila was a wonderful sitter. She did a wonderful job dealing with Salem’s upset stomach and always made sure to send photos of him with each visit! I would recommend her to anybody needing a pet sitter.”
About: I've owned cats my entire life and have experience caring for different ages, sizes, and personalities. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive to care for your cats while you're away.
“Sebnem was great! This was our first time having her take care of our cat, and she was fantastic. She was very communicative, sent lots of videos and pictures and left summaries for how she spent time with our cat. She left cat tv on for him so he wouldn’t feel lonely, which was very nice. She followed our instructions for feeding portions and for picking up and leaving our key! Would definitely use her again!”
About: Hi all, I’m Olivia! I have two main passions in life; caring for children and caring for animals. I’ve had pets all my life and don’t know what I’d do without them.

Besides that, I am full available to give your pet the care they deserve! I care for pets with passion and trust. I love building a trusting relationship with any pet and making sure they know I love and care about them through my actions.

“Nithimas was an amazing pet sitter for our cat Rocky (our baby boy)! She made sure he was fed, ate, clean water and litter. And best of all she played with him, which meant a lot to us because he never felt alone. Thank you so much!! We will definitely request you again when we go on vacation. ❤️ Olga and Brandon”
“We had our cat boarded with Madison and family. They took wonderful care of him, spent timer with him and sent us pictures and updates during our vacation. We highly recommend Madison and will certainly use her as a sitter again.”
“Ali is amazing and very detail oriented. She immediately bonded with our two kitties and made them feel so comfortable. She is very experienced and used her judgement in notifying us when feedings needed adjusting. She was very communicative with us throughout our travels so that we felt close to them through photos and reports. She also brought in mail and kept everything perfectly neat and organized. She also played with the kitties. We are pleased with Ali’s care of our kitties.”

I would love to care for your cat family members and I am happy to clean litter boxes, feed them, play with them, and just give them some extra love while you are away.

About: I’ve been around dogs for basically my whole life, they’ve always been a big part of my world. Because of that, caring for animals feels very natural to me. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends, family, neighbors, and pretty much anyone who needed an extra hand. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and genuinely caring. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and keeping a structured schedule. I’m used to organizing my day around responsibilities, so things like walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are easy for me to stay consistent with. I genuinely like being around animals, so caring for them never feels like a task it’s something I actually enjoy. My routine and flexibility allow me to give pets the attention, patience, and care they need throughout the day. When I care for pets, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I try to adjust my approach to what makes them feel most at ease. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure both the pets and their owners feel happy and stress-free.
“Lawrence is wonderful!!! He drops in 4 days a week to takes our dog outside for a potty break and to get some exercise. Lawrence is so great with her. He throws the ball and makes sure she gets to play and work off some energy and I love that he sends lots of great pics too. We couldn't be happier and hope he will help us forever! THANK YOU Lawrence!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Murphy
“Lisa was absolutely wonderful for our two girls. They seem to have a great time and came home exhausted from the fun. I'm sure she could she my nervousness leaving them for the first time ever and kept me calm by sending msgs and pictures. I have booked several other stays already! I highly recommend her!”
“From our meet-and-greet to the first actual stay, my dog *loved* being at Jason's! He and his wife are kind, love dogs, have a great house setup for doggy day care. My dog can be anxious in new settings, especially if I leave him, but he did great! As Jason said, "couldn't have gone better." I am SO grateful to have found him and will definitely be using their services a lot in the future. I'd give them 10 stars if I could ;)”
“This was my first time leaving my pup away from home and with other people— I am so glad he was with Rini and her husband! They sent wonderful photos throughout the day and I could see that my pup felt happy and right at home. Thank you Rini!”
“Totally awesome and very nice. Her dog was super nice and friendly and had no issues with my energetic pup. When I picked him up on the first day they were in the really big back yard rolling around in the grass. My dog loves running and rolling so he was super happy. She sent out lots of photos and gave great updates during the day. She was able to work with me on times and was free on short notice. I will definitely rebook. I recommend her if your pup is a ball of energy and likes to play with other dogs like mine.”
“Pinto’s first time with Jingyi and Pinto enjoyed every moment. She updated us all day like a child first day in school. We did not miss a moment. She is dog person as I’ve ever met. Already booking for several longer stays. Thank you Jingyi, you’re awesome.”
About: I've taken care of my own and friends dogs! I love giving dogs the best care and love especially when their owners are gone. Having dogs I know how precious they are and knowing you want them to have the best care and snuggles. I make sure that your mind is at ease while you are away to enjoy your time and your pups get a vacation as well! Getting pictures and notes just to know they are ok is always nice! I am always open to additional requests to put pet parents at ease. I currently work from home full time. So I am available and have plenty of time to play. We also have a very large yard and walking areas. In the summer we have a pool if they enjoy that as well. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep yours company while you're away. They love to run around and swim in our pool. I work from home so I'm at the house to let them out.
About: Hi, I’m Eloise! I bring 10 years of hands-on experience across pet boarding facilities, vet centers, bathing salons, fostering, and personal pet care, along with a military background built on structure, discipline, and accountability. I’ve worked in multiple states and helped manage boarding environments firsthand, so I understand what actually works and what fails behind the scenes. I don’t cut corners, and I don’t stay quiet when care isn’t being done right. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I’ve cared for high-energy puppies, senior dogs, anxious rescues, and independent cats. I’m confident handling most medications and pets with unique or detailed needs. I also have strong experience with reactivity. I rescued my own dog 3.5 years ago with severe reactivity and no socialization, and successfully trained her into a stable, manageable dog. Since 2022, I’ve fostered dogs and cats and actively work on behavior and training while they’re in my care. I do not take aggressive dogs, but I am confident working with reactive dogs and helping them build calm behavior in real-world environments. My schedule is flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I offer walks, drop-ins, and in-home care with consistency and structure. I’m partnered with a trusted boarding home in Dallas (75252), so I can offer boarding and daycare options for dog friendly, crate trained pets if needed. If you have a specific routine or timing your pet is used to, I do my best to match it closely. I have drill weekend once a month. I understand pet care is not one size fits all. Every pet is different, and I adjust my approach based on their behavior, comfort level, and routine. I follow your instructions exactly, meals, walks, medications, habits, and boundaries. Consistency matters, especially for anxious or reactive pets. I keep environments calm, structured, and clean. I pay attention to behavior changes, stress signals, and safety at all times. You’ll receive regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident and not have to worry while you’re away.
“Our puppy River literally did not want to leave after his day with Cheryl. I could tell immediately when dropping River off that he would be in the hands of a caring and experienced dog loving person. Cheryl is a top-notch dog sitter!”
“My dog Jake had a great time with Jer and his lab Maggie. Jer and his wife had a very peaceful quality about them, and I could tell that Jake was comfortable the moment we walked in. This was a trial test/meetup for a longer booking later this summer and I would say it was a great success!”
“Very friendly and kind , went the extra mile by sending frequent notifications. Great availability. Love the other pets allow socializing for my puppy.”
“Valeri has been an absolute life saver this week! She took great care of our two month old puppy. She was super responsive and communicative with this new dog mom. It felt so good knowing my pup was being well taken care of!”
“Wonderful sitter! She was very kind, communicative, and attentive to my dog's needs. I felt completely at ease while my dog was in her care. My pup came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
“Jane is always on time abs helps me with my busy schedule. She give lots of love and attention to my puppy. She walks him and helps with his potty training. I never wonder what he is doing as Jane send me updates frequently! He loves going to see Jane!”
“Stephanie is very caring and attentive, I appreciated the communication and photos she provided while watching over my dog after her spay surgery. My dog was immediately comfortable with Stephanie, and that's rare. Will definitely be using her services again.”

I have a secure yard, offer overnight stays, and love taking dogs on long walks no matter how many hours they need! I’m great at keeping pups happy and active, and I always keep their owners updated with regular check-ins and photos. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands with me! I provide full-time care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. During the day, I make sure your pup stays happy, active, and comfortable. We go on multiple walks (as long as needed!), enjoy playtime in my yard, take breaks for cuddles and rest, and stick to any feeding or medication schedules you provide. I also offer overnight care and keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages so you always know how your dog is doing. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority every day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. My home is dog-friendly with a secure yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I maintain a clean, calm environment with plenty of space for rest, play, and cuddles. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I stick to your pet’s routine, ensure they feel comfortable in their space, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention. I closely monitor pets at all times and never leave them unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. I also keep in touch with regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“I appreciate Sam and their family so much for taking such awesome care of my puppy while I was away! From the start, I felt totally comfortable leaving her with them. When I picked her up, she was so happy and full of energy. Clearly, she had a great time! She came back nice and content, i can tell she was also well fed. All her stuff was neatly packed and clean, including her leash and bed. Sam and their family were super sweet and kept us updated with pictures and videos every day. They also made sure to check in with us about anything they were unsure of. It’s clear they really love animals and treat them like their own. I’m so grateful for their care and will definitely be using Sam’s services again. I highly recommend them if you need great pet care!”
About: I love dogs and aim to take care of your fur baby like my own! Your pup will be loved on, played with, belly rubbed and taken outside to get all his energy out! I am a homeschool mom with flexibility during the day and am so excited to offer your pup a kind, fun place to land while you are away. My entire family loves dogs and is committed to making your pup’s stay feel like home. We only accept one family at a time unless we are familiar with the dog(s) and have specifically gotten permission from each family to have a crossover in booking - we never attempt to book more than one family at a time. It’s important to us to provide the utmost, quality care for each family and we will always be transparent with you! Because we homeschool, I am home for large chunks of time throughout the week. We are home almost all morning and early afternoon but even in the evenings we are popping back in here and there between activities. Each pup is different and has specific preferences for play, attention & sleep. We have had clients all over the spectrum! We play ball & frisbee in our backyard, we put sheets on our couch to allow all dogs to jump & cuddle if they want to and we are flexible with sleeping arrangements at night. We have space to accommodate several different arrangements.
About: Connecting with a dog is special. I find it easier to do once I've given a good ear scratch and a few massages! I've cared for and loved on my family's cocker spaniels and golden retrievers as I grew up. I was able to adopt my own fur baby as a young adult and now I have a mixed breed that gets all the love. Up until now, I've offered my friends and family dog care and boarding but now I am ready to offer trustworthy care to you as well! I have been working from home for 9 years! I also homeschool my daughter (age 9). We spend most of our days at home. Together we care for our dog Brownie! The most used door in my house is the back door! My yard is fenced and includes a large covered patio. You can usually find me inside sitting by the window or outside in a rocking chair.

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.
“I can’t recommend our dog walker enough! Adrian consistently went above and beyond every single visit. Not only was he always on time, but he also sent a text before arriving. What really stands out is the level of care he provides. He took extra time to clean our dog’s paws after walks, which is something we truly appreciate, especially on muddy or rainy days. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he works with and treats them like his own.”
“Zoila is very responsible and reliable - plus my lab mixes adore her and look forward to every visit - also she is proactive sending updates and pix, plus updates us if there are any changes or concerns she may notice - all of that is so comforting when we travel/ I strongly recommend her and have years of experiences w dog sitters - she is the BEST!”

About: I have 2 cats of my own and helped take care of a past 21 1/2 old cat my family had until 3 years ago. Cuddling and playing with cats bring me so much enjoy.

I have a fenced yard that both of my cats go out and play and relax. My cats roam everywhere in the house and can curl up anywhere.

My cats will go outside into a fenced off yard and while they are outside will keep an eye on them.

“Jackson (my cocker spaniel) is VERY suspicious of new people. It takes him a long time before he is comfortable. I let Lawence know this upfront and he assured me that it would be fine. Before Jackson started his walk schedule, Lawrence met up with Jackson and myself to introduce himself. Jackson was still quite suspicious of this new person but was not hostile or mean. Lawrence started walking Jackson and at first, Jackson was hesitant to go walking with this stranger. After about 2 weeks, Jackson knows Lawrence, even knows his car when he pulls up and wags his stub in anticipation of his walk. I appreciate that Lawrence took it slow and let Jackson define the terms of their relationship....LOL.”

Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority every day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. My home is dog-friendly with a secure yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I maintain a clean, calm environment with plenty of space for rest, play, and cuddles. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I stick to your pet’s routine, ensure they feel comfortable in their space, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention. I closely monitor pets at all times and never leave them unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. I also keep in touch with regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have previously worked in a dog and cat daycare, boarding, and grooming center for three years, and have watched pets of family friends since 2018. I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and more, and my family regularly fosters kittens! I am comfortable with feeding, giving medication (not injections), walking, and providing care for all types of pets. My schedule is completely available for overnight care at your home, daily drop-ins, single visits, or walks. Please ask me about any accommodations you may need and I will see if I can provide them. In your house, I am happy to follow any instructions about leashed or unleashed time on walks or in your backyard, will feed on your schedule, and can spend time with your pet as much as you need. I am happy to try and accommodate any changes you may need to make, give updates with photos, and tell you any behavioral or medical changes as soon as possible.
About: I have 10 years of experience dog walking and 8 years of experience pet sitting. My experience also includes exotic pets like snakes, lizards, rodents, bunnies, and frogs. I am currently a teacher off for the summer so I have plenty of time to help you with your fur baby! I am also training for my first half-marathon so I would love to take your active pup on a walk or jog. I would need about an hour or so a day away to run errands for my mom but other than that I am totally dedicated to your pets! I know a pets comfort and routine is so important to them so I will stick to whatever instructions you leave for their care. With new clients I like to schedule a meet and greet before accepting a request. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions as I know trusting someone to take care of your pets is incredibly important. I look forward to hearing from you!

“We boarded our 4-year-old dog, Mishti with Jennifer for the first time few weeks ago. She is wonderful, she took time for a meet & greet and clarified our doubts/questions. She sent regular photo updates and responded to our queries about Mishti's medication. Mishti was really well taken care of. Jennifer accommodated our request of a slightly late pickup, and we couldn't be more thankful for that! Mishti seemed happy in Jennifer's care and had become friends with another dog! Jennifer's place is very dog friendly with lots of beds around for the dogs and very clean! Jennifer, thank you so much for taking care of Mishti!”
“Melissa and her family were wonderful! We couldn't have asked for a better experience!! Bullet enjoyed multiple walks a day, car rides, and hours of quality time with the family. She sent us adorable pictures and videos of Bullet and we felt great knowing he was getting so much attention and play time. We highly recommend Melissa and plan on bringing Bullet back next time we need to travel without him!”
“Dogs came back happy and healthy! I was kept up to date with messages and photos on how my dogs were doing. Jason was super kind and easy to communicate with. Can't recommend him enough!”
“I experienced not only a great trip but 5 days of pure peace of mind because my fur baby was with Molly. She and her whole family was so loving towards her. Best part is getting dose of cute videos of your baby when you are away. Above everything they are so kind!!I highly recommend her for your fur baby.”
“Kiyo has stayed with Jingyi a few times now, and every experience has been amazing! She constantly sends pictures, which reassures us that Kiyo is happy and doing well, playing with other dogs in the backyard. Jingyi takes care of Kiyo just like her own family. She’s my go-to and the best sitter—I can’t recommend her enough!”

“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Julie and Natalie! They accommodated us on a last minute request. Do not hesitate to book your pet here, we hope to leave our pet with them again!”
“Heather was great! Sweet and bubbly personality. She sent photos and updates daily! Banjo loved Raven her cat. Even though Raven was probably messing with Banjo- he didn’t seem to mind. Would recommend!😍🐾”
“Amy was awesome! Our Shadow had a wonderful time, returned happy but tired. He is on medication and Amy was perfectly comfortable administering the pills. I received lots of updates with photos and video. Super pleased! I was really worried but it turned out great and I wouldn't hesitate to leave him again.”
“Madison is absolutely fantastic! You can tell immediately that she genuinely loves animals and it's not just a job for her.

If you want peace of mind knowing your pet is getting lots of love and attention choose Madison. She’s responsible, thoughtful, and all around wonderful!”

I will definitely book again with her next time I need to!! Thank you thank you sooo much Vanessa”
“We had never used Rover before and were a little nervous to leave our dog Georgia with a stranger after our regular boarding fell through for Thanksgiving. Cheryl was so friendly and not phased at all by our 70 lb German Shepherd, who can be a little bit rambunctious at times. She sent us pictures daily and I felt confident Georgia was well taken care of and having a great time playing with the other dogs. I would highly recommend Cheryl and definitely plan to use her again.”
“Moni did an amazing job taking care of our dog. We had a last-minute sitter cancellation, and she was able to step in right away. Our dog, Ghost, quickly became attached to Moni and her family because of how well they treated him. He was completely at ease and felt right at home. I would definitely recommend Moni as a sitter, and we’ll absolutely keep her in mind for future needs.”
“This was the second time Janna has watched our dogs, and once again, she went above and beyond! It's such a relief knowing our pups are in great hands while we’re away. They were well-fed, well-exercised, and most importantly—happy and relaxed when we returned. We really appreciate the regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear Janna truly cares for animals and treats them like their own. Our dogs clearly remembered and were excited to see her again—always a great sign! Highly recommend and will definitely continue booking in the future. Thank you again for taking such good care of our furry family!”
“Fernanda and Matthew were great with my dog! I love that they walked and played with him. They were quick to respond and sent daily photos. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a dog sitter!! :)”
About: Hi, I’m Eloise! I bring 10 years of hands-on experience across pet boarding facilities, vet centers, bathing salons, fostering, and personal pet care, along with a military background built on structure, discipline, and accountability. I’ve worked in multiple states and helped manage boarding environments firsthand, so I understand what actually works and what fails behind the scenes. I don’t cut corners, and I don’t stay quiet when care isn’t being done right. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I’ve cared for high-energy puppies, senior dogs, anxious rescues, and independent cats. I’m confident handling most medications and pets with unique or detailed needs. I also have strong experience with reactivity. I rescued my own dog 3.5 years ago with severe reactivity and no socialization, and successfully trained her into a stable, manageable dog. Since 2022, I’ve fostered dogs and cats and actively work on behavior and training while they’re in my care. I do not take aggressive dogs, but I am confident working with reactive dogs and helping them build calm behavior in real-world environments. My schedule is flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I offer walks, drop-ins, and in-home care with consistency and structure. I’m partnered with a trusted boarding home in Dallas (75252), so I can offer boarding and daycare options for dog friendly, crate trained pets if needed. If you have a specific routine or timing your pet is used to, I do my best to match it closely. I have drill weekend once a month. I understand pet care is not one size fits all. Every pet is different, and I adjust my approach based on their behavior, comfort level, and routine. I follow your instructions exactly, meals, walks, medications, habits, and boundaries. Consistency matters, especially for anxious or reactive pets. I keep environments calm, structured, and clean. I pay attention to behavior changes, stress signals, and safety at all times. You’ll receive regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel confident and not have to worry while you’re away.
