We’re a Texas W-2 company. Not a roster of contractors. That’s the difference.

  • Same sitter, within 5 miles. One employee, every visit. They live nearby so they can actually get there.
  • 250+ employees, a million visits since 2003. If someone can’t make it, a manager sends a backup and tells you.
  • Background-checked, trained, and monitored. We check the visit against your instructions. Owner and manager are on call 24/7.
  • Official pet sitters for Microsoft and Oracle. Insured, bonded, money-back if we get it wrong.
  • We don’t advertise that you’re away. No uniforms, no marked cars. Neighbors think family is home.

Our Staff

Olga Wharton Newman founded DFW Pet Sitting in 2003 and still runs it. The 2 a.m. texts come to her.

Our General Manager, Laura, has been with the company since 2016.  She knows the people who work for our company, she knows our clients, and she cares about the pets and their wellbeing.  We excel in this business because we want to be good at what we do and because we genuinely love all pets.  We want all animals to be loved, cared for, and treated well.

Our Weekend Manager, Ashley, is another constant face who steps in as needed, ensuring we never have gaps in coverage. She is also a pet sitter and a manager, devoting all her passion to this company.

Safety and security of your home

When you’re away, your home’s security is a top priority. Our approach to pet sitting is designed with your privacy and security in mind.

Discreet Home Visits

Our employees are just old-fashioned, low-key “helpers.” We come and go without neighbors knowing who we are and when we are coming back next.

Natural Presence

Your pet sitter looks like they could be living in the house. People may think they are your family, which maintains the appearance that someone is home.

Schedule Protection

We don’t want to attract any attention to your home while you are not there. Nobody will know your schedule is like. Even when you leave for work, someone can still stop by.

The dog sitter closest to you will be assigned as your primary pet sitter.  That employee (note: we don’t use contractors, only employees) will come and meet you before you leave. Our dog sitters are experienced in handling different breeds and sizes.  Just let them know all the routines, feeding times, play, walking habits, etc. This is a customized service. Your dogs will love us!

Weekly Mid-day Dog Walking Services

The weekly mid-day dog walking service is perfect for dogs of all ages. If you just got a new puppy, work long hours, or have a senior dog – your pets can benefit from extra potty breaks and exercise. You can use our dog walking service on a discounted weekly schedule or as needed. We are here to accommodate your schedule.

We have dog walkers in most zip codes of Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. When you contact us for puppy care or dog walking service, we’ll pair you up with a dog walker who can commit to all walks weekly. We don’t want different people entering your home every day. It’s not suitable for dogs, and it’s not good for the safety of your home. We are NOT “Uber for dog walkers”.

We assign an employee who lives in your area, and that dog walker becomes the person you and your dogs will love and treat as family. You and your dogs will grow to know your dog walker.  That person will be the second most loving and constant figure in your dogs’ lives after you!
