About: I have owned pets (dogs, cats, birds, horses, chickens) for my entire life. I got my first horse at 10 years old, and my parents own a horseback riding stable where I have helped care for healthy, sick and injured horses, dogs and cats for the past 45 years. I have pet sat as a teen and as a trusted neighbor more recently. I currently have a 15-year-old Pyrenees mix named Honey and daily care for 35 horses. I am calm in emergencies and very reliable. I am confident administering medicine and other pet care needs. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I would be able to support a majority of needs for any clients that use my services. I am a mature, reliable and very capable person as I migrate to semi-retirement, I am looking for a side income where I can earn money doing something that I enjoy. I love animals and truly enjoy taking care of them.
About: So I have many years with particularly small and medium sized dogs. Have a 12 year old rat terrier who looks as adorable as when I got her. She’s my baby. Would love to start watching other dogs for extra $$$. I’m not currently working , so any time any day is fine. Until I find something better. Just let me know ahead of time all the details. I take dogs or cats out for walks. Clean up after them outside or inside. Would prefer them to be house trained but ok if not. Can house sit as well for as long as needed.

“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!”
“Amanda was excellent! I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She was excellent with her pups and very good at communicating updates and information to us while we were out of town.”
About: I have over 8 years of experience caring for my own cats and understand that cats deserve the same level of attention, love, and dependable care as dogs. I’m comfortable with different personalities—from social and playful to shy and independent—and respect each cat’s boundaries while making sure their feeding, litter, playtime, comfort, and routines are properly maintained.

About: I have had pets all my life and grew up on a farm so I love all animals. I believe that they should be spoiled with lots of love and attention. I never met a pet I didn't like. I work part time from home so I have a lot of extra time to play and love on your pet. Also take daily walks if weather permits. I have a good sized fenced yard, two dogs and a cat to play with your pet. If the pet wants to rest they are good at leaving them alone too.
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.
“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 love all dogs and all dogs love me. I can’t imagine what life would be like without them. I’ll take good care of your pets and give them lots of love and affection. I love being around all dogs and cats. It’s hard to find someone who will take care of them like you want. I can do that for you. I have a very small fenced in yard but I take my dogs for a walk every day to get sunshine and exercise. I can do that for you too.
“Wonderful and patient. Frankie had a great time. Thank you being able to watch Frankie last minute. Would definitely use her services again and recommend to others. Frankie was so happy and she updated me often which I appreciated!”
About: Well, most & foremost I transport pets not just dogs/cats across the United States from a person buying it from a pet store or a friend, etc to their destination of choice w/my set price. I also have my certificate in USDA for pets that I’ll upload in pictures. Moving forward I’ve walked dogs, bathe a cat & dog, was a pet sitter for cats/dogs and puppies. Am very good at communicating & reading/following my clients notes when it comes to food time/preparation or anything relatable to your lovable pet. SN: am very good at belly rubs if your animal loves that since that’s an all time favorite thing for puppies or cats period 😁 Am currently self-employed working on my terms so the time needed to cater/care for a client pet is a blessing to me. I prefer weekdays the most but wouldn’t mind a weekend for some pet attention😃 my availability will be open on ALL days unless something comes up unexpectedly but am a reasonable person w/others times/days etc. I currently help/ take care of my sons father female American bully whom I love. She’s very very smart & alert. So therefore, if I welcome/get that opportunity for a new pet into my home for boarding etc pls believe am treating him/her w/all the love possible. Pet toys & pet food isn’t a problem to me either you can provide your own but am very willing and can accommodate as well on my end.
“Jason did such a good job taking care of my babies! I was out of the country and he was great about giving updates and sending pictures and videos daily! I will definitely be dropping my girls off again!”
“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.”
About: Our family loves all dogs! We truly care for your animals as if they were our own. I have experience taking care of and training a high energy puppy. I work from home so our family is always home to take care of your animal and give them the attention they need and deserve. I have a high fenced yard. Our dog, Indie, plus kids love playing with all dogs. Our kids love cuddling and treating your dog like their own.

“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!”
“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: Hi, I’m Eloise! I bring 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. Rover increased their prices so they are now taking an extra 10% from us. Sorry if we have to raise prices. 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. 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.
About: Welcome to The Canine Cottage! If you're looking for a boarding experience where your dog will be treated like family, you've come to the right place :) I've been a dog owner for more than 20 years and have cared for dogs through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing specialized care. Over the years, I've also served as a foster home for dog rescue organizations, providing temporary housing for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Dogs have always been an important part of our family's life. As a homeschooling, stay-at-home mom of five children (ages 4–14), our home is filled with activity, companionship, and plenty of people who genuinely love spending time with dogs. We are home throughout the day, allowing us to provide the attention, supervision, and interaction many dogs don't receive in traditional boarding environments. At The Canine Cottage, we offer a premium home-away-from-home boarding experience. Rather than spending most of the day in a kennel, your dog will enjoy being part of our daily family life. They'll have plenty of opportunities for play, affection, enrichment, outdoor time, and relaxation. Our goal is to make your dog's stay feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while you're away. As dog owners ourselves, we understand how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet behind. That's why we've created the kind of boarding experience we always look for when we travel—one where dogs are welcomed into a loving home, receive individualized attention, and are treated as family members. We can't wait to meet you and your furry family member! Your Dog Will Feel Like Part of the Family! As a stay-at-home mom, with a husband who works from home and children who are homeschooled, someone is almost always home. That means your dog won't spend hours alone or confined to a kennel. Instead, they'll enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, and time as part of our daily family life. Our guests enjoy two daily walks, supervised playtime, and the freedom to move between our home and secure backyard throughout the day. We believe dogs are happiest when they're treated like family, and that's exactly the experience we strive to provide. A Safe, Comfortable Home Designed for Dogs Our home sits on one-third of an acre and features a spacious backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore. The yard is fully enclosed with an 8-foot board-on-board privacy fence and an auto-closing gate, providing a secure environment for every guest. Your dog's safety is our highest priority. Upon arrival, each boarding guest is fitted with an Apple AirTag attached to their collar as an added layer of security and peace of mind. Inside, dogs are treated like family. They have the freedom to relax and roam throughout the downstairs of our home rather than spending their day in a kennel. Crates are used only for sleeping, quiet time, or if your dog is already crate-trained and finds comfort in one. Overnight, they rest in a quiet room located just steps from our primary bedroom, so they're never far from us. Every dog is unique, and we love getting to know each guest's routine. Whether it's mealtime preferences, favorite walking pace, play style, bedtime habits, or special quirks, we'll do our best to recreate the comforts of home so your dog feels safe, relaxed, and loved throughout their stay.

I can even brush your dogs’ teeth if you’d like.

About: Hi everyone! As a lifelong dog lover, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m reliable, caring, and detail oriented, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, and consistent care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine exactly so they feel as comfortable and stress free as possible while you’re away. I recently finished my last year of school, so I have a very flexible schedule this summer and am available to provide attentive, reliable care for all of your pet's needs.

He is great at communicating with me and even is thinking in advance as the temps rise to make sure we have a plan for midday walks this summer! I deeply appreciate him thinking about my dogs health and wellbeing like that!”
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. My fiancé Sammie is a dog specialist. She handles the dog walking and dog care. She was raised around dogs, and dog sat in her childhood. 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. I work part-time but will definitely make the time to take care of your babies. Other than that I have plenty of time to snuggle, cuddle, or play with your fur babies. My cats will go outside into a fenced off yard and while they are outside will keep an eye on them. I won’t force your animals to do anything with me but if they want to play or go outside (if that is allowed) I will happily do so.
About: Welcome to my page! My passion is spreading the love, and we do that by being loving animal owners ourselves. I have been a caregiver for 25 years and have experience with animals small to large, hedgehog to horse. We love them all! We enjoy caring for a variety of animals and sharing toys, walks, and of course belly rubs. It really gives us a happy boost so we seek it out often. We are a house of many cards, actually animals. We have two dogs, 2 cats, and a bearded dragon. We’ve been blessed with the opportunity to help rescue and release some back yard birds like doves and finches. We really do have a niche for this! I'm currently a stay at home mom of kids and animals. During the day I’m available to come by and say hi, or you can drop off and pick up around your work schedule. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced backyard and take precautions based on each pet’s individual needs, behavior, routine, and current weather conditions. On walks, I use safe handling practices and avoid unnecessary interactions with unfamiliar animals. In the home, pets that do not get along are safely kept separate, and I follow owner-established routines to help minimize stress and anxiety. I believe good pet care also requires good communication, so I keep communication with owners open, respectful, and consistent. At this time, I offer limited short-term daytime boarding when circumstances require it, such as emergencies or helping with a pet’s pickup and care following a veterinary procedure.

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. 🐾
“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.”
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.
