“We took a trip to South Padre Island and stayed at a condo that wasn’t pet friendly, so we found Alexis. She was great with our Bo. She sent daily pics of Bo, good mornings and good nights. We felt so comfortable because from the moment we were matched with her it was constant communication. The dropping off and picking up was quick and smooth. This was the first time Bo was left with a total stranger and he did very good, so that says a lot about how she cares about our pets. Thank you again, Alexis 💕”

“Bo was great. Very quick to respond to texts. Also received daily photos of our pups and received a little holiday gift bag when we picked the dogs up. Definitely recommend Bo’s place and will use again!”
“Alicia did an amazing job taking care of Presley. My pup is big, hyper and a bit of a handful but Alicia made it work. I stayed at a place where there were no dogs allowed on the property so I tried a sitter at South Padre Island. That sitter called me late and told me she couldn't handle Presley. Luckily I was able to find such an experienced, dog loving sitter in Alicia. I spoke to her and let her know my situation and she offered to meet me more than halfway so I wouldn't miss too much time away from my weekend getaway with my family. She sent me pictures the next day of Presley playing fetch and I felt comfortable knowing my pup was enjoying his weekend as much as I was. I definitely recommend her to anyone needing dog boarding or sitting. Thank you so much Alicia and will definitely contact you next time I need boarding for Presley.”

“I really appreciate Brittany to take Frankie in short notice. It was an unexpected 4-day trip. She sent me many pictures and videos and updated me regularly. Frankie has been a picky eater lately, but she was so patient with him. She even went through trouble to add a bit of egg into his bowl with kibbles as I suggested after discussing Frankie’s eating issue with me. Frankie looks so happy with Brittany’s dogs and cats in the pictures and videos. I’m super glad that he got to socialize and get along well with her pets. I’m a 100% return client.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of who I am. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’m patient, attentive, and responsive to their individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra attention, consistency, and basic training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or gentle care. I’m very observant and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Now that I’m away at college, I truly miss having animals around, so pet sitting is something that brings me joy in the meantime. I have a big heart for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own.

I have a big heart for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾💛 Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. As a college student, I have structured class times, which allows me to create consistent morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins for walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care needs. I’m used to building my day around animals since I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day potty breaks, or evening cuddle time, I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. On weekends, I typically have even more flexibility, which allows for longer walks or extra playtime. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I prioritize because I truly enjoy it. 🐾💛 When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise routines, and any specific behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine to reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention and affection. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with close supervision. I ensure they have a safe space to rest, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and lots of companionship. Because I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, I’m very attentive to body language and behavior changes, especially for puppies or senior pets who may need extra care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to provide consistent, loving, and responsible care. 🐾💛

“We couldn’t have asked for a better overnight stay for Scout! Margot was extremely quick to respond, provided helpful information to make Scout’s stay as comfortable as possible, and gave us updates. We will definitely be back!”
“Aron stayed in touch with updates on Kehlani. Sent several photos through out the stay and answered back right away when messaged. Will be using Aron and his family for future trips we have”
“We took a trip to South Padre Island and stayed at a condo that wasn’t pet friendly, so we found Alexis. She was great with our Bo. She sent daily pics of Bo, good mornings and good nights. We felt so comfortable because from the moment we were matched with her it was constant communication. The dropping off and picking up was quick and smooth. This was the first time Bo was left with a total stranger and he did very good, so that says a lot about how she cares about our pets. Thank you again, Alexis 💕”
“Cookie our puppy, had a great time at Jessica’s house for over 2 weeks. He got a lot of exercise and we were sent photos every day. He was well cared for! Thank you Jessica.”
“Bo was great. Very quick to respond to texts. Also received daily photos of our pups and received a little holiday gift bag when we picked the dogs up. Definitely recommend Bo’s place and will use again!”
“Alicia did an amazing job taking care of Presley. My pup is big, hyper and a bit of a handful but Alicia made it work. I stayed at a place where there were no dogs allowed on the property so I tried a sitter at South Padre Island. That sitter called me late and told me she couldn't handle Presley. Luckily I was able to find such an experienced, dog loving sitter in Alicia. I spoke to her and let her know my situation and she offered to meet me more than halfway so I wouldn't miss too much time away from my weekend getaway with my family. She sent me pictures the next day of Presley playing fetch and I felt comfortable knowing my pup was enjoying his weekend as much as I was. I definitely recommend her to anyone needing dog boarding or sitting. Thank you so much Alicia and will definitely contact you next time I need boarding for Presley.”
About: Any breed any size is welcomed! Whether you’re looking for a safe place for your hairy child to stay while you’re out of town or you’re just looking to have a vacation from your fur baby, you’re always welcomed to board with me. Hello! My name is Frank Barcenas. I am 28 and live in an apartment located in Bayview, TX. I have 2 pets of my own 2 dogs that mean the world to me and are by my side every second of the day. Taking care of dogs is a passion more than anything. Interacting with different breeds and seeing their different personalities is very interesting to me. I have been experienced with caring for animals for 5+ years. I have taken care of animals ranging from reptiles all the way to donkeys and pigs. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters in the valley and have worked at multiple kennels aswell. I enjoy every second of caring for the animals making sure they’re in a safe and lovable environment as if they were at home. I am experienced in clipping nails, bathings, giving medication, giving shots, and general training. Boarding at my apartment, you can expect that your pups will be cared for and given lots of love and attention. One of the biggest problems dogs have are experiencing extreme anxiety when being separated from their normal routine. Having plenty of toys and multiple distractions at my apartment will ensure that your pet baby has a smooth and wonderful experience when boarding. When boarding with me you can expect multiple photos and videos of your pets daily while boarding. Work a 9-5 job. Pups would be inside during the hot hours of the day with my wife and will have small time outside during peak heat hours. In the afternoon when the heat is not bad they will be able to be outside 3+ hours I have a fenced yard. 24/7 supervision of the pups. Away from any high traffic roads. I have 2 pups who do well with other dogs

“Eddie was sweet and caring and I know Shelby and Cooper felt comfortable in their surroundings. Eddie was very accommodating and easy going and made leaving my pups with her easy. I will reach out again to book with her if I’m in the area.”
“THEY WERE SO AMAZING. Sent lot's of updates, photos, and videos. Even accommodated the fact that my flight was delayed causing me to miss my connection and was stuck in ATL overnight. Their dog is so playful and friendly which made my dog have the time of his life. They took amazing care of my dog and provided him with all his vitamins and any of his special needs were well monitored.”
“I really appreciate Brittany to take Frankie in short notice. It was an unexpected 4-day trip. She sent me many pictures and videos and updated me regularly. Frankie has been a picky eater lately, but she was so patient with him. She even went through trouble to add a bit of egg into his bowl with kibbles as I suggested after discussing Frankie’s eating issue with me. Frankie looks so happy with Brittany’s dogs and cats in the pictures and videos. I’m super glad that he got to socialize and get along well with her pets. I’m a 100% return client.”

“We trusted Samantha with our dog and we are appreciative of the great care she provided him. It was our first time away from him and her daily pictures and comments during his stay reassured us that he was well. We will soon be glad to have him stay with her again .”
“Samantha and her family took great care of Benji. He received lots of attention and snuggles and we were sent photo updates daily. We will definitely seek out Samantha's services for our next boarding.”
“I had a great experience with Claudia through Rover! She communicated really well and kept me updated with messages and pictures of my dog, Cecil. I was a little worried leaving him since he’s an older dog, but her experience with senior pets made me feel so much more comfortable. I could tell he was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
