Dog Sitting in Van Alstyne

About: I have taken care of personal dogs since I was 10 years old. I have potty trained dogs and also have trained them to do certain tricks. I am currently retired and I'm looking for a part-time job while my grandchildren are at school. I would need to work a few hours during the day. I will be able to walk your dog, feed your dog and give your dog lots of attention and loving care during the day time.

“Candie provided exceptional care for Bella during her drop-in visits while I was away. Her love and attention to detail were evident in every interaction with our furry pet friend. I highly recommend Candie for her reliability and the genuine care she showed towards Bella. Thank you!”

About: I’ve had a chihuahua since I was a teenager. She’s just passed away in 2025 at the age of 18! She was truly my soul dog! Now, I have 2 cats, Clover (a Siamese) and Ash (a tuxedo). I love being their mom! I’m a careful pet owner (AKA I worry a LOT), so I will care for your babies the same that I do for my own! I’m currently looking for my next corporate role, so I’m available as often as you need me to check on your babies while you’re away! I have a fenced yard! I also am over-protective, so you can bet I will be overly cautious with your babies! I will treat them as if they were my own!

“My very first time using Rover and I have a one year old high energy, slightly reactive dog who is still learning boundaries. All of this considered, I was incredibly anxious to have someone come over and be able to properly handle Zeus and have patience for him. Brittany agreed to a meet and greet which was exceptional because it gave me time to make sure Zeus was a good fit for her, and it helped me ease any anxieties I had about leaving zeus with a sitter. She was on time per the scope of our agreement and sent tons of pictures and was communicative and flexible as well. I will absolutely be looking to book her again!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life (20 years), personally cared for 4 of my own, and I have volunteer experience at an animal shelter. I’m very experienced with their routines, training, behaviors, and attuned to their needs. I’m attentive, patient, and I genuinely love being around dogs! I’m currently in school full time, but I am a senior and have my class schedule set for online only, and I’m fully available in summers. I live in a clean, dog-friendly apartment with a fenced yard available for supervised outdoor time. Dogs are never left unattended outside, and I follow owners instructions closely to make sure pets stay on their comfortable routines. I do have a roommate cat in the home, but she is kept separate from any dogs and stays in the closed bedroom.

“First time booking with Melissa. I am very happy with the service our energetic lab received! Melissa did a great job, very thoughtful. Will definitely book again!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the level of genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every animal as an individual. I don’t just “watch” pets—I focus on understanding their routines, personalities, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I’m especially attentive to animals that need extra care, including senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or gentle handling, as well as younger pets who need structure, supervision, and consistent training support. I’m calm and patient with all temperaments, including anxious or high-energy pets, and I adjust my approach based on what each animal needs. I also take safety seriously by closely following instructions, maintaining a secure environment, and watching for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. Daily basics: feeding, fresh water, walks or litter cleaning, playtime and quick health checks. Dogs may set the pace for morning/evening walks. washing bedding, deeper cleaning cages, restocking food or meds, and longer exercise or enrichment sessions. “I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets and follow each pet’s specific routine and care instructions. I make sure pets have fresh water, regular feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I closely monitor behavior, comfort, and any signs of stress or illness. In a client’s home, I respect the pet’s established routine and maintain a secure environment by checking gates, doors, leashes, and any safety concerns. I also keep communication open with pet owners by providing updates and photos when appropriate.”

“Blake was awesome taking care of Finn while we were away! She was punctual for all scheduled visits and very responsive to any requests or messages. Blake gave very detailed updates with lots of pics of our pup. She did a great job engaging with Finn, taking him for a walk for every visit, playing with him, petting him, etc. Blake was very sweet and generally took great care of our dog for the entirety of our vacation. I would highly recommend and will gladly rebook with her in the future!”

About: I’m currently fostering to adopt my dog, Maverick, a poodle mix, so I have daily hands-on experience with training, routines, and behavior. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, including Boxers, Cocker Spaniels, Chihuahuas, Bulldogs, and Poodles, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve also spent years watching dogs for friends and family, giving me experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love being around dogs. I currently work part-time as a volleyball coach and attend school. In my current job, I work on Wednesdays and Sundays for about 2 hours. For school, I only have classes on Tuesday evenings from 4:00–7:30 PM. Outside of those times, I have a very flexible schedule and a lot of free time that I would love to spend caring for dogs. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I treat every pet like they are my own and focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and exercise while keeping their safety a top priority.

About: I have a 8 yr old bichon myself whom I have trained to be an esa. I also have a five-year-old toy poodle mix who is also an ESA. I am the go to person to dog sit for my friends and family. I am very patient and kind and sill give you furry family member all the love they need. I have experience with dogs who need a little extra help in the health department and who are a little bit older. I will treat your fur babies like they’re my own. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of the fur babies. I am gone for about eight hours on Tuesday and Thursday. However, I work very close to home so I can run home to do Potty breaks if need be. Both of my dogs are very different personality wise. Loki loves to play and he’s a very curious dog. He likes to interact with other dogs as well. He may be eight years old, but you would think that he’s still a puppy with the amount of energy he has but he’s not wanting to play. He’s wanting to watch TV and cuddle as for Apollo. He’s very laid-back and chill. He likes to just sleep and play by himself, but he will play with other others. He does have a condition with his eyes where he does not produce the correct amount of tears so I do administer a daily medication for him. I do have a small yard with a doggie door so they have access to outside all day.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was a kid, including rescue ad fostering Australian Cattle dogs. I'm trained in k9 first aid and am well versed in medical treatments and medication administration. I work from home so pet care will be constant. I might leave for an hour or two for various errands but otherwise your pet is my top priority and will enjoy constant attention. I have a male German Shepherd who is a love ad very friendly. Your pet will live like mine. Attention, play, and will sleep in a human's bed. He will get multiple potty breaks during the day and will get plenty of play time. If I leave the house they will be crated but I never leave the house for more than an hour or two. I have a fenced in yard and live about a mile from a pet hospital and emergency vet.

“Joshna did an excellent job with our cat! She was kind and went above and beyond to take care of him which we really appreciate. We highly recommend her and will be booking her again!”

About: I've grown up owning pets my whole life. I have also been babysitting pets for friends and family every since I was 10 years old. I've owned animals ranging from rodents to cats and dogs. I am a full time nurse but I only work 3 days a week so I have plenty of time to watch and hang out with animals 🙂 I have a large fenced in back yard that I keep very clean and trimmed. I'm also more than happy to travel to your home multiple times a day to make sure your loved ones do not feel lonely.
