We cover Flower Mound (75022, 75028 and 75077), including Bridlewood, Wellington, Canyon Falls, Lakeside, Timber Creek, Tour 18, Cross Timbers, the estates along Simmons Road, and the neighborhoods along Long Prairie Road / FM 2499. Sitters already know Twin Coves, the Hound Mound at Heritage Park, the River Walk at Central Park, and the gate codes in these communities.
We’re already taking Thanksgiving and Christmas bookings. Phones 6:00am–11:00pm Central. A manager is on call 24/7 if a visit needs backup.
Looking for a Trusted Pet Sitter in Flower Mound?
Flower Mound is a town, not a city — that is its legal status and residents will correct you on it — and it is one of the largest towns in Texas by land area. Thirty-odd parks, a trail system named after wildflowers, its own campground on Grapevine Lake, and a five-acre dog park with a name worth the trip alone. Pet owners here have high expectations, and rightfully so. When you leave your pets with someone, you want to know they’re in the hands of a professional — not a random stranger from an app.
DFW Pet Sitting has been caring for Flower Mound pets since 2003. Every pet sitter and dog walker we assign is a W-2 employee of our company, not an independent contractor or gig worker. They’re background-checked, trained, insured, and bonded. And they live in the Flower Mound area, usually within 5 miles of your front door.
Neither an app nor a marketplace. Before a single paid visit you meet your assigned Flower Mound sitter at your own door, walk them round, and that is then your sitter — which matters rather a lot behind a Bridlewood or Wellington gate.
Phones are answered 6:00am to 11:00pm Central and a manager stays reachable after hours to arrange cover. Every visit is recorded in our software as it is completed. Across a town as spread out as Flower Mound, having 250-plus employees to draw on is what turns a sick sitter into an inconvenience for us rather than a missed feed for your dog.
Why Flower Mound Families Choose DFW Pet Sitting
Unlike apps like Rover or Wag where you’re hiring a stranger with a profile, our Flower Mound pet sitters are professionally managed employees. Here’s what that means for you:
Your sitter lives in Flower Mound. Our Flower Mound team covers Flower Mound, Highland Village, Lewisville, Double Oak, Argyle, and Corinth. Your sitter isn’t commuting from Dallas or Plano — they’re right in your community. Less drive time means more time with your pets.
One person, every time. The sitter you meet at the free consultation is the only one who will enter your home. Your gate code, your alarm sequence and your spare key stay with that single employee, and nothing about the arrangement quietly changes while you are away.
We monitor every visit. A duty manager tracks the Flower Mound schedule live. A missed check-in is chased within hours rather than discovered days later. On a town this spread out, that oversight is the point.
Real insurance and bonding. Every employee sits under the company’s commercial liability insurance and is bonded. Not a headline guarantee with exclusions in the small print — a genuine policy, and you may see it before you commit.
Emergency backup that works. Life happens. If your sitter has an emergency, we don’t leave you scrambling. Our manager activates our emergency replacement protocol, notifies you immediately, and sends a qualified backup sitter. Our nearby Highland Village, Lewisville, Argyle, and Coppell teams provide additional backup coverage. Because more than 250 sitters are on our payroll across the metroplex, a problem on our end does not become your problem.
Pet Sitting Services We Offer in Flower Mound
We offer pet sitting and dog walking services in Flower Mound 75022, 75028 and 75077, plus the surrounding areas this team already covers. Visits are 25 minutes.
Vacation & Travel Pet Sitting — A week away or one night at the lake house, your pets keep their own beds and their own schedule. Your Flower Mound sitter follows your instructions to the letter: feeding hours, doses, leash walks, and whatever each animal insists on. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish and small caged animals all stay put.
Daily Dog Walking — Perfect for Flower Mound families with puppies, senior dogs, or busy work schedules. Your dog walker commits to a consistent weekly schedule — same person, same times. We’re not “Uber for dog walkers.” Whether you live in Bridlewood, Wellington, Canyon Falls, or the neighborhoods along Long Prairie Road / FM 2499, your walker is nearby — and Flower Mound’s incredible trail system means they’ll never run out of great routes. Twin Coves Park, the River Walk at Central Park, the Bluebonnet and Indian Blanket trails, and the Grapevine Lake shoreline are the usual leashed loops when your dog needs more than a hallway.
Cat Sitting — A daily prescription is no obstacle. Injections, fluids and inhalers all fall inside a normal visit, carried out at home. See how a 25-minute Flower Mound cat visit works.
Short-Notice & Holiday Coverage — Three ZIP codes cover Flower Mound and one of them is shared with the towns next door, which means our staffing here overlaps with neighboring routes and short notice is often manageable. Thanksgiving and Christmas are still the two weeks to book early.
House Sitting & Home Checks — Mail, porch packages, lights, bins, plants, and a walk-through. Most Flower Mound clients add this onto pet visits rather than booking it alone — especially in Bridlewood, Wellington, Lakeside, Tour 18, Cross Timbers, and the estates along Simmons Road, where an empty house is obvious.
What Makes Us Different From Rover and Wag
A Bridlewood gate code, a Wellington alarm panel, a pool backyard off Simmons Road, and a departure that can move an hour late — that is a stack of details worth getting right. Which is why it belongs to an employee we hired, trained and supervise, not to a stranger with a profile. This company has been in Flower Mound since 2003. Side by side:
| Rover / Wag | DFW Pet Sitting | |
|---|---|---|
| Who enters your home | A different contractor each time you book | One assigned sitter — the same person, every visit |
| Who they work for | Independent gig contractor | W-2 employee: background-checked, trained, supervised |
| If something goes wrong | Platform “guarantee” with exclusions | Commercial liability insurance and bonding |
| If your sitter cancels | You re-book and hope | Manager activates backup from 250+ DFW staff |
| Oversight | Nothing between you and the sitter | Every visit tracked by a manager in real time |
| Before your first visit | Optional chat, often skipped | Free in-person meet-and-greet, always |
Cat sitting in Flower Mound
Cats do not travel well and do not need to. Flower Mound sitters handle medication, insulin shots, sub-q fluids and asthma inhalers right where she lives. Each stop is 25 minutes long — water changed, the meal put down as specified, litter cleared, play if she is willing, and a short report on her. You get a photo.
Sitters handle pills, insulin, sub-q fluids, eye drops, and inhalers. If a cat hides in a Bridlewood home, a Wellington ranch, a Tour 18 house, or a Lakeside or Cross Timbers address they have never fully mapped, they sit on the floor and wait. They do not leave without seeing the cat.
One visit a day is the minimum for a cat in good health. Kittens, seniors and any cat on a daily drug need two. We are not willing to dump out several days of food and leave the box, and a weekend at the lake house that turns into four nights is exactly why.
More on how we look after cats across the Metroplex is on our cat sitting page.
Your Home’s Security Is Our Priority
We come unmarked deliberately: no branded clothing, no car decals, no sign in the garden. Behind a gated entrance in particular, an unfamiliar liveried vehicle at the call box is precisely the thing you do not want on a neighborhood group chat.
Your sitter looks like family stopping by. Nobody on your street concludes you are away. We would rather your house appear occupied than take free advertising out of the fact that it is not.
This matters in Flower Mound, where homes are in sought-after neighborhoods like Bridlewood, Wellington, Canyon Falls, Timber Creek, Lakeside, Tour 18, Cross Timbers, and the estates along Simmons Road. Your home is a significant investment and your neighborhood values security. A discreet, familiar presence is exactly what you want while you’re away. Discretion isn’t a perk — it’s standard. Gate codes, alarm codes, and spare keys stay with the one assigned person.
Meet Our Flower Mound Pet Sitters
You will meet one of our dog walkers or pet sitters who live in the Flower Mound area — in your home, before the first paid visit. They are a W-2 employee, not a rotating contractor. We employ pet lovers who work in their immediate neighborhoods, usually within 5 miles of their homes. Ashley and Laura handle scheduling. A manager on duty can hand a visit to any of our 250-plus sitters — the practical difference between a company and an app. No photos on this page — you meet them in person.
Gail, one of our Flower Mound-area sitters, put it this way:
“It is the best job ever! I have met so many great people and pets. I feel like that aunt who gets to play and spoil the little ones. My fuzzy clients are always happy to see me. Plus, you don’t usually get kisses daily at a regular job.”
That’s the kind of passion that makes our Flower Mound team special. Our Flower Mound sitters work only within a 5-mile radius of where they live, covering Flower Mound, Highland Village, Lewisville, Double Oak, Argyle, and Corinth. The person you meet is the only person entering your home.

Flower Mound’s Best Spots for Pet Owners
Flower Mound’s natural beauty and proximity to Grapevine Lake give pet owners a lot to work with. Here are the spots our sitters recommend:
Twin Coves Park and Campground — The town’s own park on Grapevine Lake, and genuinely the best thing in Flower Mound for anyone with a dog. Boat ramp and courtesy dock, fishing pier, kayak launch, a lake overlook with a fire pit, playground, picnic areas, disc golf, a gaga ball pit, 19 heated-and-cooled cabins, 22 RV sites and six primitive tent sites. Entry is $10 per vehicle unless you hold an annual pass or a camping reservation, and the park closes to visitors at 10 p.m.
The Twin Coves rule that costs people a holiday — Read this before you book a cabin. All pets at Twin Coves must be leashed and cleaned up after, and none may be left outside a campsite unattended. But the line that matters most: pets are not permitted at cabin campsites, inside the cabins, or in the office and camp store. Tents and RVs, yes. Cabins, no. This is the single most common reason Flower Mound families call us — they have booked a cabin weekend fifteen minutes from home and only then discovered the dog cannot come.
The Northshore and Knob Hill trails — The long-distance walking out of Twin Coves is not a Flower Mound trail at all. The natural-surface Northshore Trail runs 22.5 miles and the Knob Hill Trail 13.1 miles along the lake shore, both nationally registered and both managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, not the Town. They are shared hiking and mountain biking trails, which means a dog on a long lead is genuinely unsafe on them. We walk them short, leashed, and we step off for bikes.
The wildflower trails — Flower Mound names its trail system after wildflowers, which for a town called Flower Mound is exactly right: the Bluebonnet Trail, the Indian Blanket Trail, the Pink Evening Primrose Trail. They thread between more than thirty parks — Heritage, Timber Creek, Gerault, Bakersfield, Northshore, Shadow Ridge, Bluebonnet, Rheudasil, Peacock, Wilkerson and the rest. For daily walking this network matters far more than any single park, because it means a different route every day without ever starting the car.
The River Walk at Central Park — A scenic paved trail along a man-made waterway in the heart of Flower Mound. Beautiful landscaping, bridges, and a peaceful atmosphere. Perfect for a relaxed evening walk with your dog.
Grapevine Lake Shoreline — Multiple access points near Flower Mound give you and your dog access to the lake’s trails and water. Great for adventure walks and dogs who love to splash. We keep those walks leashed on the clock.
The Corps shoreline and Murrell Park — A good deal of the Grapevine Lake frontage near Flower Mound is federal land rather than town park, Murrell Park among it, and the rules there are the Corps’ rather than the Town’s. Practically that means signage, surfaces and enforcement all change as you move along the shore. It is a quieter alternative when Twin Coves is busy. We keep these walks leashed and out of the water on a paid visit, and we do not take client dogs onto the unmarked singletrack at all.
The Hound Mound at Heritage Park — This is Flower Mound’s dog park, and its actual name, which is a small joy. Five acres on the east side of Heritage Park at 1200 Garden Ridge, with separate small-dog and large-dog areas, natural shade, hybrid Bermuda turf under irrigation, seating with water fountains, pet waste stations, and 40 lighted, video-monitored parking spaces. Open daily 7 a.m. to dusk and closed every Wednesday for maintenance, plus whenever the weather shuts it — the Town runs a Notify Me alert for closures and it is worth subscribing to. Do not park on the grass or in the inside lanes of Garden Ridge Boulevard; they mean it.
The Hound Mound rules, because they are stricter than most — A maximum of two dogs per owner at any one time. Handlers must be at least 14. No puppies under four months, no dogs in heat, sick, or with open wounds. The small-dog side is for 30 pounds and under. No spiked, prong, choke or pinch collars. No food and no dog treats at all, and balls and plastic discs are the only toys permitted. Shoes required. No grooming. Owners stay in the park with the dog in voice and sight control. And note — the ordinance prohibits commercial use of the dog park outright, so no paid walker can legitimately take your dog in there. Which is our policy anyway, but here it is also the law.
Bakersfield Park — Worth clearing up, because the two get conflated constantly: Bakersfield Park is a real Flower Mound park, but it is not the dog park. There is no off-leash pen there. If someone has sent you to Bakersfield for off-leash time, they meant the Hound Mound at Heritage Park.
Whatever else you do, get the dog outside. Sitters here also work in Highland Village, Lewisville, Argyle, Double Oak, Corinth, and Coppell. Because 75077 straddles more than one city, the address is what we go by. Call and whoever is closest gets the assignment.
Flower Mound Neighborhoods We Serve
Flower Mound covers a lot of ground for a town — three ZIP codes, thirty-odd parks, and a shape that runs from Grapevine Lake in the south to the Argyle line in the north. Fifteen minutes from one end to the other on a good day. Which is exactly why we assign by street rather than by city name.
75022 — the lake side, Twin Coves and Wichita Trail
The southern and western half: Long Prairie Road, Wichita Trail, Peters Colony, Old Settlers, Spinks Road, and the Lakeside Parkway corridor running down toward Grapevine Lake. Twin Coves Park and Campground is in this ZIP, and so is most of the town’s lake frontage — much of which is actually U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land rather than town park. Bigger lots in places, more trees, and the addresses where a spontaneous lake afternoon most often turns into a call to us.
75028 — Timber Creek, Morriss Road and the eastern side
East toward Lewisville: Morriss Road, Timber Creek Road, Cross Timbers, Flower Mound Road, Gerault, Duncan Lane and the Windsor area. This is the denser, more suburban half of the town, and the half where midday dog walking is the bread and butter — predictable streets, sidewalks throughout, and the wildflower trail network stitching the neighborhoods together. Heritage Park and the Hound Mound sit within reach of most of it.
75077 — the Justin Road strip Flower Mound shares
This is the ZIP most people do not realize Flower Mound is in. The stretch of town along Justin Road (FM 407), out past Chinn Chapel, falls in 75077 — the same ZIP as Highland Village, parts of Lewisville, and the towns of Copper Canyon and Double Oak. Five municipalities, one ZIP code. If your Flower Mound address writes 75077, it is not a mistake and you are not in the wrong place. It does mean our Flower Mound and Highland Village teams overlap here deliberately.
Bridlewood, Wellington, Tour 18 and the gated addresses
Bridlewood and Wellington are the two big master-planned communities, Tour 18 wraps the golf course, and there are the estate addresses along Simmons Road. What these have in common operationally is access — gate codes, call boxes, and guard procedures that differ from one entrance to the next, and change. Every one of those goes into your file at the meet-and-greet and stays with your one assigned sitter, which is a large part of why the same person comes every visit.
The northern edge and Canyon Falls
The top of the town runs up toward Argyle and Northlake, and Canyon Falls sits across that seam — a development that spans more than one jurisdiction and more than one ZIP depending on which street you are on. We do not pretend to know which side of a line your house falls on from the subdivision name. Give us the address and we will tell you which of our teams covers it, and it will be a sitter who lives within five miles either way.
What our Flower Mound sitters know
That the Hound Mound is shut every Wednesday and after rain. That the Northshore Trail is 22.5 miles of shared hiking and mountain biking and no place for a long lead. That Twin Coves charges $10 a vehicle and bans pets from its cabins entirely. That Flower Mound, unlike Denton, still requires residents to register dogs and cats annually. And that the Town publishes coyote coexistence guidance for a reason — this is a town with real greenbelt running through it, and a small dog alone in a backyard at dusk is a genuine risk here, not a theoretical one.
Ready to meet your Flower Mound pet sitter in person? The in-home consultation is free, there is no obligation, and you will know exactly who is caring for your pets before you ever book a visit.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Sitting in Flower Mound
Can my dog stay with us in a Twin Coves cabin?
No — and this is the single most common reason Flower Mound families call us. Pets are not permitted at cabin campsites or inside the cabins. RV and tent sites, yes; cabins, no. People book a cabin weekend fifteen minutes from home and only discover the rule afterwards, at which point they need someone to look after the dog at home while they are barely out of the neighborhood.
What are the other pet rules at Twin Coves?
All pets must be leashed and cleaned up after, and none may be left outside a campsite unattended. Entry to the park is $10 per vehicle unless you hold an annual pass or have a camping reservation, and it closes to visitors at 10 p.m. Beyond the camping, it is the town’s own park on Grapevine Lake and genuinely the best thing in Flower Mound for anyone with a dog.
What is actually at Twin Coves?
A boat ramp and courtesy dock, a fishing pier, a kayak launch, a lake overlook with a fire pit, a playground, picnic areas, disc golf and a gaga ball pit, plus 19 heated-and-cooled cabins, 22 RV sites and six primitive tent sites. For a leashed walk with water in view it is the obvious choice in town.
Do you serve all of Flower Mound by ZIP?
Three: 75022, 75028 and 75077. That last one is shared with Highland Village and Lewisville, so a 75077 address could sit in any of the three towns — give us the street and we will work out who is closest rather than asking you to figure out the boundary.
What do you charge in Flower Mound?
$25 for a 25-minute visit with one pet, $3 for each additional pet, and dog walking plans from $23. Larger lots and longer driveways are common here and none of that changes the rate. The rates page lists everything, or call (214) 574-7387.
Are the Northshore and Knob Hill trails good for dog walking?
With real caution. The natural-surface Northshore Trail runs 22.5 miles and the Knob Hill Trail 13.1 miles along the lake shore, both nationally registered, and neither is a Flower Mound trail at all — the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers manages them, not the Town. They are shared hiking and mountain biking trails, which makes a dog on a long lead genuinely unsafe. We walk them short and leashed, and we step off for bikes.
Where do the everyday walks happen?
On the wildflower trails, which for a town called Flower Mound is exactly right — the Bluebonnet Trail, the Indian Blanket Trail and the Pink Evening Primrose Trail. They thread between more than thirty parks, including Heritage, Timber Creek, Gerault and Bakersfield, so there is usually a connected route within a short walk of your house without anyone needing to drive.
Does my pet stay at home the whole time?
Only on a leash with your sitter. There is no boarding, no daycare, no transport and no group play. Meals, water, litter, medication, attention and a check of the house all happen where your animals live, and the door is locked behind the sitter when she leaves.
Does the first visit cost anything?
No. The in-home meet-and-greet is free and there is no obligation to book afterwards. Your sitter meets the animals, walks the property and the gates, looks at the alarm, and writes your routine down as you describe it — and you get to decide whether she is the person you want holding a key.
Who comes to my home, and are they insured?
A W-2 employee of this company who cleared a background check before her first shift, is bonded, and is covered by our commercial liability insurance. We do not use contractors. The vetting, the training and the insurance all sit with the business you called rather than with an individual.
Can medication be part of the visit?
Yes — oral doses, insulin injections, sub-q fluids, eye drops and inhalers are all routine work for our staff. We write the drug, the dose, the timing and your vet’s contact details into your file instead of relying on memory, and doses that must hold to an hour get the visits scheduled around them.
What is the plan if my sitter cannot make it?
Another trained employee takes the visit and we tell you it happened. Flower Mound sits in a well-staffed part of Denton County, so a substitute is usually close, and because your instructions are stored centrally she arrives already knowing the gate, the code and the feeding amounts.
Why not book a sitter through an app?
Because an app introduces you to a freelancer and leaves the risk with you. We are a company with employees on payroll, supervision, monitored visits, written care instructions, backup coverage and our own commercial insurance, and we have been doing this since 2003. The 4.9-star average across more than 500+ Google reviews is the record of one accountable business.
