“This was Mell’s first stay with Krysta and her family. She was kind enough to offer us a meet and greet two weeks prior to boarding. Mell felt comfortable right away during the meet and greet which I always consider a good sign. Krysta provided me updates and pictures throughout his stay, and asked for any need-to-know information to make his experience a good one. She was also extremely flexible and provided good communication. Thank you for watching Mr. Mellow!”
“Candice was very kind and sweet with Louie. Louie is older and at times is anxious. He seemed to get along well with the other dogs. Will definitely request Candice again, if she is willing.”
“Lindsey was absolutely awesome with watching our dog Ace. She’s super responsive, attentive, and accommodating. Ace always has an absolute blast when he stays with her and he always get excited when I pull up in the driveway. Whether its playing with other dogs, fetch, walking or going on runs… Lindsey and her family will make sure your dog never has a dull day and plenty of stimulation.”
“Kristi is an amazing boarder. She did a fantastic job watching Kobe and June while we were out of town. She kept us updated with their eating schedule and sent pictures and videos. We will definitely be using Kristi again in the event we are in need of a boarder for our dogs! Can’t thank her enough.”
“My dog came home so happy. Tatum is the best. She sends everyday a picture of my dog while walking to the dog park, sleeping after a long day. I know shes well taking care of. she cleans all her stuff before going home. I cant say thank you enough.”
“I chose Jasmine as a last minute resort and when I say I'd choose her over and over again, as well as HIGHLY recommended her, I mean just that!! Jasmine is an amazing communicator before, during, and after her services has been rendered. The amount of love and attention she provided our family pup was top tier. I almost felt as if our pup wouldn't want to return home. Lol but we all know that dogs are loyal. I will be using your services again for formal and informal visits, as like you stated, pups need social lives as well. Again, my family and I thank you so much for everything. You are the best!”
“I had to leave my very nervous boys for the first time and they did so well! Suzanne was great in providing updates, sending lots of pictures, and adjusting to the needs of the dogs that it made me feel at ease to leave them in her care overnight and just be able to focus on my event. Definitely will bring my boys back to her whenever I need someone to look after them again💓”
“Once again our two dogs had an amazing three days with Maddison and Wesley! They were not just taken care of but truly pampered. We got lots of pictures and updates, it was evident our furry friends were happy and comfortable!! We're grateful for the excellent care and highly recommend their services!”
“This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover! She picked my dog up on time, sent plenty of pictures, let her play with her puppy and even helped her learn how to use the restroom outside! She was very flexible and handled all of my concerns! 10/10 will be using every time from this point on!”
“Jaydn and her whole family was amazing! She sent me pictures and kept me updated my whole trip. She replied timely and was so sweet no matter how many times I texted her to check in on martini! Martini seemed so happy and almost didn’t want to come home he had so much fun, it was like doggy heaven for him! I know he was well taken care of, loved on and spoiled while in her care!”
“Martha G made our fur babies feel right at home! We are confident that she took care of their needs. Highly recommended her services. We will definitely use her again and appreciate her patience as our dogs adjusted to the stay.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had cats for the past 7 years. My home is currently filled with 7 animals of my own—2 dogs and 5 cats! They’re definitely my favorite part of home life (other than my husband, of course lol). I regularly care for the pets of my family and friends, including my brother-in-law’s dog, who I watch very frequently, as well as my family’s 2 dogs and cat. I also occasionally care for a close friend’s dog. One of my longer pet-sitting experiences was caring for my cousin’s dog for 3 months while she recovered from a broken leg. We are an extremely pet-friendly household and genuinely love having animals around. When friends come over, we’re always telling them to bring their pets! My schedule is currently completely open, and as an at-home wife, I’m able to be home with your pets for the majority of the day most days. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles so your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals and would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and their individual personalities and routines. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Our home is a very pet-friendly and welcoming environment, and our own pets are a huge part of our everyday life. We currently have 2 dogs and 5 cats, so we’re very comfortable with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Because I’m an at-home wife, I’m home the majority of the day and can provide frequent supervision, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. We also live right next to a park and creek, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time for pets who enjoy exploring. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me. I also understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand and make sure we have a plan that keeps everyone comfortable and safe. For pets who need or are more comfortable with their own separate space, we also run available to set up kennel(s). I’m happy to accommodate individual needs and make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable environment. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, supervised, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me.

“Shane was a great sitter for our Jax! You can tell he really loves animals & he sends pictures throughout the stay! He responds quick and communicates well throughout the entire process. I will definitely take Jax to him again when the need arises!”

“We are very grateful for Megan B.! We had never met Megan, yet we were in a huge last minute bind while we were out of town. She messaged instantly, and wasn't afraid to step in to the rescue despite never having me our kitty. Our cat has suffered a stroke recently, so I was really worried about him. Megan fed him per our instructions. She let our baby out for some fresh air in the backyard, and did a wonderful job helping us with the litter box, which was a godsend since we got home late that evening. So I highly recommend Megan B., and we will definitely solicit her availability again!”
“Could not have been happier with Brianna’s check-in visit for my cat! She was on time, took care of all of her needs, played with her, sent me photos, and even did her litter and filled her food and water bowl. She was even willing to water my plants for me! Would absolutely book again, very professional!”
“This was our first time using Monica and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how she lovingly cared for our two kitties, Baxter and Sebastian. She came twice a day to check on them. They loved her. She went above and beyond what we asked her to do. She watered our plants, picked up our mail. She played with our kitties and gave them lots of TLC. She Havis some recommendations and tips to make things better for them. She sent us photos from each visit and a very in depth report on how they were doing. We really appreciated Monica. She definitely has a love and passion for animals. We look forward to booking her again!”
“Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. She was so caring and detail-oriented, executed all parts of the job perfectly, and provided excellent communication. We were comfortable knowing everything was in her care. When we came home, the house was clean and the cats were happy. Highly recommend!”
About: Raised an australian shepard pup and kept her occupied and also have dog sat, walked and had sleep overs with from huskies to shelter pups. Never met a dog I didn't like.

I always ask what their typical routine is to mimic it in the dogs safe space and am focused on replicating it as well as I can.
“Rebecca cared for our three cats for about a week and a half, doing drop ins every other day. She was kind and communicative from start to finish, and went above and beyond to keep us and our kitties happy including lots of playtime, topping off food and water, and even watering a plant for us and bringing packages inside. Would book her again for future travel!”
“Christina is amazing and took excellent care of our kitties, & highly recommend her for your pet services. She’s a fantastic communicator too! And we love all the pictures she provided each visit.”
“Krysta took good care of my 2 cats for a full week and even took care of watering my plants for me! She sent updates on any changes that might have occurred between visits; I always knew that my animals were safe and well taken care of. So glad she was here to take care of them while I was away.”
“I am so grateful to Tammy for coming to my home to help with my big Lab who is too reactive around other dogs to take to a groomer. She is always so gentle and makes it easy to get his nails trimmed.”

“My baby boy LOVEEESSS Suzanne! She always brings him treats and goes on mile long walks that he absolutely enjoys. She is like a part of our family and we are blessed to have her.”
About: I am a stay at home homesteader that has three rescue doggos that live inside and a guardian livestock dog that spends her days taking care of the farm. We have hatched, raised and spend our days giving all the snacks to almost 50 chickens, 17 guineas, and 6 ducks. We have 2 goats one of which is about to give us a third. I know how hard it can be the travel with peace of mind without your babies with you, and I’d love to be able to help people enjoy your time away from home. Being able to set my own schedule while caring for other animals will allow me the ability to still care for my own animals without pulling time from them. I will do my very best to keep your fur babies routines exactly the same, and love and care for them like I love and care for my own babies.
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 11 years old. My experience ranges from newborn puppies/kitties to senior animals as well. When I was 16, I was working at a ranch as a dog/puppy tech handler. I helped clean, groom, and train miniature Australian Shepherds. As well as I handled mama dogs and their babies! While there, I also fed a feral colony and acquainted myself with some of the barn animals (Horses, cows, bulls). Over the years, I have fostered and bottle-fed various litters of puppies and kittens. Now I own 5 cats and 2 dogs. I am comfortable with big or small animals! I look forward to caring for y'all! Currently, I am taking courses for medical coding/billing for AAPC. So my classes are every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 pm to 8 pm. But other than that timeframe, I am completely flexible! I do prefer to be able to go to the client's home as I feel that is what most pets are more comfortable with. Whether you have cameras or not, it is not a problem. Any type of special latches, gates, key codes, etc. Is not a problem either. Animals hold a very special place in my heart, so rest assured, your baby will be my baby.
“Extremely thankful for Brooke coming by to walk my Kevin! I really wanted him to at least get out a bit while I was gone so I'm super thankful for her time ☺️ Immediately asked about preferred routes and if Kevin was reactive to other dogs etc. Would definitely book once again! Kevin definitely loved her.”
About: I've been dog obsessed since I was a kid! Unfortunately my three dogs have all passed away within the last two years and so now my husband and I are excited to welcome & work with your pet! While your dog is with me, he/she will be allowed to have free reign of my home as well as doggie door access to a large, fully fenced back yard. Dogs are free to sleep wherever they like- on the couch, floor, my bed- I treat them like they're my own. I also live within half a mile from a well maintained park and make trips there almost daily. While you're away I will keep you updated on your pet's activities in whatever way you prefer including email, text, or FaceTime (yes I know it might seem weird but I did this with my own dogs when I was away so I'd offer you the same). I do recommend a meet-and-greet prior to dog sitting. You would need to be present for this interaction. You must provide proper vaccinations. I require 100% honesty from you and I will be 100% honest and transparent as well. I will always treat your animal with the same respect and loving care that I gave my own animals. I'm currently available full-time to devote my attention to your pets between walking, cuddling or pet-sitting. I work from home and own my own business so pet-sitting is an easy fit. I have a large fenced-in yard and a doggie door. I am comfortable with crate-training puppies & helping them learn proper potty skills. I am also comfortable giving oral and injected medications for animals young and old depending on their medical needs.
“Kortney D. has been absolutely amazing with my dog, DECON. She is incredibly communicative and provides detailed updates about every walk, which gives me complete peace of mind. I always know exactly how DECON is doing and what transpired during their time together. Most importantly, DECON absolutely loves her! It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with and goes above and beyond to make sure they are safe, happy, and well cared for. Her professionalism, reliability, and attention to detail are second to none. I highly recommend Kortney to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker. She does a tremendous job, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for DECON!”
“Kaylee is reliable and has been very understanding when our hectic schedules have changed last minute. Our Milo has enjoyed those afternoon walks so much! Will definitely continue using her services!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals on my family’s farm over the past 8 years. I've helped take care of dogs, cats, horses, goats, and cows, which has taught me a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and how to handle animals with different needs and temperaments. As a college student home for the summer, I fit pet care into my daily routine by planning around my work schedule and training. I work as a lifeguard in Temple and I'm a college athlete so I must get my workout in each day. I make time for feeding, walking, or checking in on pets, depending on what's needed. My schedule is flexible in the summer months. I ensure they have a clean, safe, and comfortable environment, with fresh water, proper feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including medication, dietary needs, or favorite toys and activities. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply offering companionship, I prioritize each pet’s well-being as if they were my own.

I am dedicated to building long-term bonds and am currently prioritizing clients looking for reliable, recurring weekly walks and drop-ins. Pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it is my full-time profession! As the owner and operator of A&A Professional Pet Care, my entire week is built around providing exceptional, highly reliable care for your pets. I am officially accepting new clients in the Temple area starting September 21st, and I am here to stay! Here is how my schedule works to serve you and your pets: Consistent, Recurring Schedules: My primary focus is establishing reliable, weekly routines for walks and drop-ins. I want to become a consistent, trusted fixture in your dog's week, giving busy professionals total peace of mind. Dedicated Midday Care (9 AM - 5 PM): I am available Monday through Friday to provide the perfect midday break. Whether your dog needs an engaging walk, a structured drop-in, or focused mental enrichment while you work, I have you covered. Select Weekend Coverage: I offer weekend care on a rotating basis, providing trusted drop-in coverage for those busy Saturdays or quick weekend getaways. Whether I am taking your dog for an engaging walk, visiting for a midday drop-in, or providing extended in-home care, your pets and your property are treated with the highest level of respect. My approach to pet care combines physical exercise with targeted mental engagement. I love incorporating short, positive training sessions and enrichment games into our day to keep their minds sharp. They will get plenty of scheduled feedings and "tummy rub" downtime, but they will also get the structure and focused play they need to stay happy and appropriately tired out. When caring for pets in your home, my "extras" are standard. You can expect: Total Home Respect: I leave your home exactly as I found it—or cleaner! This includes thorough post-walk wipe-downs so muddy paws never track through your house. Premium Upkeep: I am happy to provide basic maintenance like brushing to keep your pet's coat looking great between grooming appointments. Complete Peace of Mind: You will never have to wonder how things are going. I provide comprehensive, highly detailed updates and quality photos after every single visit. Your dog won't just be watched; they will be active, engaged, and exceptionally well cared for.
About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.

“This was Mell’s first stay with Krysta and her family. She was kind enough to offer us a meet and greet two weeks prior to boarding. Mell felt comfortable right away during the meet and greet which I always consider a good sign. Krysta provided me updates and pictures throughout his stay, and asked for any need-to-know information to make his experience a good one. She was also extremely flexible and provided good communication. Thank you for watching Mr. Mellow!”
“Candice was very kind and sweet with Louie. Louie is older and at times is anxious. He seemed to get along well with the other dogs. Will definitely request Candice again, if she is willing.”
“Lindsey was absolutely awesome with watching our dog Ace. She’s super responsive, attentive, and accommodating. Ace always has an absolute blast when he stays with her and he always get excited when I pull up in the driveway. Whether its playing with other dogs, fetch, walking or going on runs… Lindsey and her family will make sure your dog never has a dull day and plenty of stimulation.”
“My dog came home so happy. Tatum is the best. She sends everyday a picture of my dog while walking to the dog park, sleeping after a long day. I know shes well taking care of. she cleans all her stuff before going home. I cant say thank you enough.”
“I chose Jasmine as a last minute resort and when I say I'd choose her over and over again, as well as HIGHLY recommended her, I mean just that!! Jasmine is an amazing communicator before, during, and after her services has been rendered. The amount of love and attention she provided our family pup was top tier. I almost felt as if our pup wouldn't want to return home. Lol but we all know that dogs are loyal. I will be using your services again for formal and informal visits, as like you stated, pups need social lives as well. Again, my family and I thank you so much for everything. You are the best!”
“I had to leave my very nervous boys for the first time and they did so well! Suzanne was great in providing updates, sending lots of pictures, and adjusting to the needs of the dogs that it made me feel at ease to leave them in her care overnight and just be able to focus on my event. Definitely will bring my boys back to her whenever I need someone to look after them again💓”
“Once again our two dogs had an amazing three days with Maddison and Wesley! They were not just taken care of but truly pampered. We got lots of pictures and updates, it was evident our furry friends were happy and comfortable!! We're grateful for the excellent care and highly recommend their services!”
“This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had on Rover! She picked my dog up on time, sent plenty of pictures, let her play with her puppy and even helped her learn how to use the restroom outside! She was very flexible and handled all of my concerns! 10/10 will be using every time from this point on!”
“Jaydn and her whole family was amazing! She sent me pictures and kept me updated my whole trip. She replied timely and was so sweet no matter how many times I texted her to check in on martini! Martini seemed so happy and almost didn’t want to come home he had so much fun, it was like doggy heaven for him! I know he was well taken care of, loved on and spoiled while in her care!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had cats for the past 7 years. My home is currently filled with 7 animals of my own—2 dogs and 5 cats! They’re definitely my favorite part of home life (other than my husband, of course lol). I regularly care for the pets of my family and friends, including my brother-in-law’s dog, who I watch very frequently, as well as my family’s 2 dogs and cat. I also occasionally care for a close friend’s dog. One of my longer pet-sitting experiences was caring for my cousin’s dog for 3 months while she recovered from a broken leg. We are an extremely pet-friendly household and genuinely love having animals around. When friends come over, we’re always telling them to bring their pets! My schedule is currently completely open, and as an at-home wife, I’m able to be home with your pets for the majority of the day most days. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles so your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals and would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and their individual personalities and routines. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Our home is a very pet-friendly and welcoming environment, and our own pets are a huge part of our everyday life. We currently have 2 dogs and 5 cats, so we’re very comfortable with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Because I’m an at-home wife, I’m home the majority of the day and can provide frequent supervision, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. We also live right next to a park and creek, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time for pets who enjoy exploring. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me. I also understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand and make sure we have a plan that keeps everyone comfortable and safe. For pets who need or are more comfortable with their own separate space, we also run available to set up kennel(s). I’m happy to accommodate individual needs and make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable environment. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, supervised, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me.
“This was my first time leaving my doggies with Mikaela while out on a work trip. I felt very at ease with her and her beautiful family. She is definitely very caring, responsive and attentive. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Shane was a great sitter for our Jax! You can tell he really loves animals & he sends pictures throughout the stay! He responds quick and communicates well throughout the entire process. I will definitely take Jax to him again when the need arises!”
“Whitney always takes first class care of our boys! She’s been so kind to us and is truly a wonderful person with an amazing family. Dizzy and Wilson look forward to their visits every time and that makes our lives much easier when we have to be away from them.”
“Katrina did a great job watching my dog for a long weekend. Communication was great - we received plenty of daily pics and updates to let us know how/what he was doing while we were away. He had a great time and we would definitely book her again the next time we go out of town and can't take him!”
