Pet sitting and dog walking in Mansfield since 2003

Looking for a Trusted Pet Sitter in Mansfield?

Mansfield is one of the fastest-growing cities in south Tarrant County — and it’s easy to see why. Top-rated schools, beautiful master-planned neighborhoods, Joe Pool Lake nearby, and a family-first community where pet ownership is practically a given. But Mansfield’s growth has outpaced the coverage of many pet care companies, which still focus on the older, northern suburbs.

DFW Pet Sitting has been caring for Mansfield pets since 2003 — well before the recent growth boom. 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 Mansfield area, usually within 5 miles of your front door.

We’re not an app. We’re not a marketplace. When you book with us, you’ll meet your assigned pet sitter in person before your first service. That person becomes your sitter — the same face every time, someone your pets will recognize and trust.

Phones are answered 6:00am–11:00pm Central. Our owner and manager are on call 24/7 by phone or text if a visit needs backup. We monitor every single visit through our pet sitting software. If something comes up, we have a full emergency backup protocol with 250+ employees across DFW ready to step in.

Why Mansfield Families Choose DFW Pet Sitting

Unlike apps like Rover or Wag where you’re hiring a stranger with a profile, our Mansfield pet sitters are professionally managed employees. Here’s what that means for you:

Your sitter lives in Mansfield. Our Mansfield branch covers Mansfield, Arlington, south Fort Worth, Kennedale, and Forest Hill. Your sitter isn’t driving from Plano or Dallas — they’re right in your neighborhood. Less drive time means more time with your pets.

One person, every time. The pet sitter you meet at your free consultation is the only person who will ever enter your home. No rotating strangers. Your pets get consistency, and you get peace of mind. Alarm codes, gate codes, and spare-key instructions stay with that one employee.

We monitor every visit. Our management team tracks every scheduled visit in real time. If a sitter hasn’t checked in, we know within hours — not days. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Real insurance and bonding. Every sitter is covered under our company’s liability insurance and bonding. This isn’t a $1 million “guarantee” from an app — it’s actual commercial coverage. We do NOT use independent contractors.

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 Arlington, Fort Worth, and DeSoto branches provide additional backup coverage. With 250+ employees across DFW, your pets’ care is never interrupted.

Pet Sitting Services We Offer in Mansfield

We offer pet sitting and dog walking services in Mansfield 76063 and the surrounding areas this coverage already includes. Visits are 25 minutes. $25 for 25 minutes, one pet; extra pet is $3; dog walking plans start at $23.

Vacation & Travel Pet Sitting — Whether you’re flying out of DFW Airport or heading to Joe Pool Lake for the weekend, your Mansfield sitter will follow your pets’ exact routine — feeding times, medications, walks, playtime, and all the belly rubs. We handle dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and small caged animals. No need to board your pets in an unfamiliar kennel.

Daily Dog Walking — Perfect for Mansfield 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 Walnut Creek, Creekview, the neighborhoods along Matlock Road, or in one of Mansfield’s newer master-planned communities, your walker is nearby. Katherine Rose Memorial Park, Oliver Nature Park, Historic Downtown Mansfield, and a leashed loop near Big League Dreams are the usual routes when your dog needs more than a backyard.

Cat Sitting — Cats hate leaving home, and they don’t need to. Our Mansfield cat sitters specialize in feline care, including medication administration, insulin shots, sub-q fluids, and asthma inhalers. See how a 25-minute Mansfield cat visit works.

Short-Notice & Holiday Coverage — Because our sitters live locally, we can often accommodate last-minute requests. Holiday availability is managed well in advance to make sure Mansfield families are always covered. Thanksgiving and Christmas fill first. Call if you already have travel dates.

House Sitting & Home Checks — Mail, porch packages, lights, bins, plants, and a walk-through. Most Mansfield clients add this onto pet visits rather than booking it alone — especially in well-maintained neighborhoods like Walnut Creek, Creekview, The Parks at Broad, Heritage, and the newer master-planned communities along Highway 360 and Matlock Road, where an empty house is obvious to neighbors.

What Makes Us Different From Rover and Wag

A Walnut Creek or Creekview house, a Heritage or Parks at Broad address, a master-planned community along Highway 360 or Matlock Road, and a DFW Airport or Joe Pool Lake weekend that can shift an hour are not a job for a stranger with a profile. You are hiring a managed W-2 employee of a company that has sat pets in Mansfield 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 Mansfield

Cats hate leaving home, and they don’t need to. Our Mansfield cat sitters specialize in feline care, including medication administration, insulin shots, sub-q fluids, and asthma inhalers. A visit is 25 minutes: fresh water, food the way you portion it, a scooped box, play, and a look at how your cat is actually doing. You get a photo.

Sitters handle pills, insulin, sub-q fluids, eye drops, and inhalers. If a cat hides in a Walnut Creek spare bedroom, a Creekview ranch, a Heritage house, or a newer master-planned home along Highway 360 they have never fully mapped, they sit on the floor and wait. They do not leave without seeing the cat.

Once a day is the minimum for a healthy adult. Kittens, seniors, and medical cats need two. We will not leave a pile of food and a full box over a long holiday weekend — especially when a DFW Airport trip or a weekend at Joe Pool Lake turns into two extra nights.

Your Home’s Security Is Our Priority

We take a different approach from most pet sitting companies. Our sitters don’t wear branded uniforms or drive marked vehicles. There are no signs in your yard announcing that you’re away.

Your pet sitter looks like they could be a family member or neighbor stopping by. Nobody in your neighborhood will know you’re traveling. We don’t want to advertise at your expense — we want your house to look like someone is home.

This matters in Mansfield, where homes are in well-maintained neighborhoods like Walnut Creek, Creekview, The Parks at Broad, Heritage, and the newer master-planned communities along Highway 360 and Matlock Road. Mansfield is a community where families take pride in their streets — and a discreet, familiar presence at your home fits right in. Discretion isn’t a perk — it’s standard. Gate codes, alarm codes, and spare keys stay with the one assigned person.

Meet Our Mansfield Pet Sitters

You will meet one of our dog walkers or pet sitters who live in the Mansfield 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 in the office handle scheduling. A manager is on call 24/7 if a visit needs a backup sitter from our 250+ staff. No photos on this page — you meet them in person.

Our Mansfield sitters work only within a 5-mile radius of where they live, covering Walnut Creek, Creekview, The Parks at Broad, Heritage, Matlock Road, Historic Downtown Mansfield, Highway 360, and nearby Arlington, south Fort Worth, Kennedale, and Forest Hill. The person you meet is the only person entering your home.

What clients say

Mansfield families review us on the same Google listing as the rest of DFW — 4.9 stars from 500+ reviews. That is the company listing, not a Mansfield storefront. We do not have a Mansfield office. Read the reviews, then meet your sitter in person.

Mansfield’s Best Spots for Pet Owners

Mansfield’s proximity to Joe Pool Lake and its growing trail system make it a great city for pet owners who love the outdoors. Here are the spots our sitters recommend:

Loyd Park Trail (Joe Pool Lake) — A goldmine for Mansfield pet lovers. Trails for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and dog walking along Joe Pool Lake. Trek along unmarked lakeside trails or choose more inland routes with spurs that lead to the water’s edge. The area climbs in elevation, giving you a workout while you enjoy forested views and glimpses of wildlife. Our sitters call this one of the best outdoor experiences in south DFW. On the clock we keep walks leashed here.

Katherine Rose Memorial Park — A popular Mansfield park with walking trails, sports fields, and open green space. Well-maintained and family-friendly — a go-to for daily dog walks close to home.

Oliver Nature Park — A small but beautiful nature park with wooded trails and a creek. Perfect for a quieter walk with your dog, especially during cooler months. One of Mansfield’s hidden gems.

Hawaiian Falls Mansfield area trails — The areas near Hawaiian Falls have paved walking paths connecting neighborhoods. Our walkers use these for convenient daily routes.

Big League Dreams Park area — Open green space and walking paths around the sports complex. Good for an easy walk when you want to stay close to central Mansfield.

Historic Downtown Mansfield — Mansfield’s original Main Street core. A walkable downtown with shops and patios — a fun leashed outing when you want more than a neighborhood sidewalk.

Mansfield National — The golf-club side of town, with the kind of well-kept streets sitters already know how to work around on a weekday visit. A landmark Mansfield families use as a meeting point, not a storefront.

The most important thing is: get out, and enjoy nature with your dog. We also regularly serve nearby Arlington, south Fort Worth, Kennedale, Forest Hill, Cedar Hill, and DeSoto. Coverage follows your address, not the map. Call and we’ll match you with the closest sitter regardless of the city line.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Sitting in Mansfield

How much does pet sitting cost in Mansfield?

A standard drop-in visit is $25 for 25 minutes, one pet. Extra pet is $3. Dog walking plans start at $23. We’re transparent about pricing — unlike apps that add service fees on top, our price is your price. See the rates page or call (214) 574-7387.

Do I get to meet my pet sitter before booking?

Absolutely. Every new client gets a free in-person meet-and-greet with their assigned Mansfield pet sitter. You’ll walk through your home together, go over your pets’ routines, show where supplies are kept, and make sure everyone — including your pets — is comfortable.

Do you have a Mansfield office I can walk into?

No. Mansfield is a city we serve, not a storefront. There is no Mansfield street address, no lobby, and no map pin for a branch. Sitters travel to clients’ homes. Your assigned sitter comes to your home in Walnut Creek, Creekview, The Parks at Broad, Heritage, along Matlock Road, in Historic Downtown Mansfield, in the newer master-planned communities along Highway 360, or wherever you live in 76063. Phones are answered 6:00am–11:00pm Central. A manager is on call 24/7 if a visit needs backup.

Are your Mansfield pet sitters background-checked?

Yes. Every employee undergoes a thorough background check before they’re hired. They’re also bonded and covered under our company’s commercial liability insurance. We don’t use independent contractors.

What happens if my pet sitter has an emergency?

We have a documented emergency replacement protocol. Our manager is notified immediately, contacts you, and assigns a qualified backup sitter. Our nearby Arlington, Fort Worth, and DeSoto branches provide additional backup. With 250+ employees across DFW, your pets’ care is never interrupted.

Can you give my pet medication?

Yes. Our sitters are trained to administer oral medications, insulin injections, sub-q fluids, eye drops, and asthma inhalers. We’ll go over the medication routine during your meet-and-greet so the person who shows up already knows the cabinet, the fridge, and the cat who hides in a Walnut Creek or Creekview home.

We just moved to Mansfield and our pets are still adjusting to a new home. Can your sitters help with that transition?

Absolutely. Mansfield is growing fast and many of our clients are new to the area. We understand that pets need time to settle in. Our sitters are patient, follow your exact routines, and help your pets feel secure. The free meet-and-greet is especially important for recently relocated pets so they can get familiar with their sitter in the new environment.

Mansfield is growing fast. Do you actually have sitters here or do they drive from Arlington?

We have sitters who live in Mansfield itself. We’ve been here since 2003 — before most of the newer neighborhoods were built. Our sitters are local residents, not people commuting from Arlington or Fort Worth.

Do you serve all of Mansfield, including 76063?

Yes. We offer pet sitting and dog walking in Mansfield, primarily 76063, and surrounding areas this coverage already includes. Give us your address and we match you with the closest sitter — including Walnut Creek, Creekview, The Parks at Broad, Heritage, Matlock Road, Historic Downtown Mansfield, and the newer master-planned communities along Highway 360.

Do you offer overnight pet sitting in Mansfield?

We offer extended visits and can customize a schedule that works for your pets’ needs. Call (214) 574-7387 or contact us to discuss overnight options for your specific situation.

How is DFW Pet Sitting different from Rover or Wag?

Rover and Wag are marketplace apps where you hire individual freelancers. We’re an established company with W-2 employees, professional management, visit monitoring, emergency backup protocols, and commercial insurance. Your sitter is vetted, trained, and supervised by our team — not just reviewed by strangers on an app.
