What we offer
Vacation & Travel Pet Sitting — Whether you’re flying out of DFW Airport or taking a weekend road trip, your Plano 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 Plano 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.” Your walker is nearby.
Cat Sitting — Litter, portioned feeding, play, and medication in your cat’s own home. See how our cat visits work.
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 Plano families are always covered.
House Sitting & Home Checks — A smaller part of what we do, but we do offer it: mail and package pickup, alternating lights, trash and recycling bins out and back, plant watering, and a walk-through to confirm nothing has gone wrong while you were away. Most clients add it onto pet visits rather than booking it on its own.
What Makes Us Different From Rover and Wag
On an app you’re hiring a stranger with a profile. With us you’re hiring a managed employee of a company that has been accountable in Plano 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
Cats do better at home than boarded. A visit is 25 minutes: fresh water, food the way you portion it, a scooped litter box, play, and a look at how your cat is doing. You get a photo.
Sitters handle pills, insulin, sub-q fluids, eye drops, and inhalers. If a cat hides, 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 weekend.
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.
Discretion isn’t a perk. It’s standard.

FAQs
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 from the Plano area. With 250+ employees across DFW, we always have coverage. 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. Several of our Plano sitters, including Vicky and Jeff, specialize in medical care for pets.
