20+ years of in-home pet sitting and dog walking in Argyle, TX
Official service providers of Microsoft and Oracle
Argyle, Texas is one of the DFW metroplex’s most coveted addresses — and for good reason. From the manicured streets of Lantana and the growing Harvest by Hillwood community to the quiet acreage properties along FM 407 and the equestrian-friendly roads of Bartonville and Double Oak, Argyle is where people come when they want a little more space, a little more sky, and a lot more room for animals. We have always loved serving this part of Denton County. Whether you have a golden retriever, a pair of barn cats, a horse, a handful of backyard chickens, or some combination of all of the above — our sitters are here for every last one of them. DFW Pet Sitting is a proud member of Pet Sitters International, the world’s largest professional association for pet sitters.
Why Argyle Families Choose DFW Pet Sitting
- We come to your home. No boarding kennels, no transport stress. Your pets stay in their own space, on their own schedule — exactly the way you’d want it.
- We cover large properties. Our sitters are comfortable on acreage — checking barns, securing gates, handling multiple animals across bigger lots. This isn’t something every service can offer.
- Background-checked and carefully vetted. Every DFW Pet Sitting sitter passes a thorough background check before they ever set foot in a client’s home.
- Short-notice and holiday availability. Last-minute trip? Holiday weekend? We do our best to accommodate the moments when you need us most.
- We love this area. Our team includes sitters who know the Lantana trails, the Harvest neighborhood, and what it actually means to live — and care for animals — in the Argyle corridor.
Our Pet Sitting Services in Argyle
We offer a full range of in-home pet care services tailored to the way Argyle families actually live. That means drop-in visits and dog walking for the daily routine, overnight stays and vacation sitting when you’re away for a weekend at the lake or a week out of town, and dedicated cat care for the independent souls who need a quiet check-in and a clean litter box. For families with multiple pets — or pets of the less-conventional variety — we’ve got you covered there too.
Argyle is home to a surprising number of households with animals beyond the usual cats and dogs: goats, miniature donkeys, pot-bellied pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and the occasional horse. We understand that coordinating care for a mixed-species household takes a little more planning, and we’re happy to talk through exactly what your animals need before we ever schedule a visit. Check our full Argyle pet sitting rates page. Drop-in visits start at $25 per visit (25–30 min, one pet; $3 each additional pet). Overnight stays are $120/night. Weekly dog walking at $23/walk for ongoing service. Call 214-574-7387 for a custom quote.
Dog Walking in Argyle, TX
Argyle’s wide-open neighborhoods — from the manicured streets of Lantana to the acreage lots off FM 407 and the Harvest by Hillwood community — are some of the best walking territory in Denton County. Our dog walkers know these neighborhoods, their trail systems, and their gate access requirements. Whether your dog needs a midday walk while you’re at work or a daily routine five days a week, we assign a sitter who lives nearby and can show up reliably. Service areas include Argyle (76226), Flower Mound, Northlake, and surrounding Denton County communities.
Every dog walk is 25–30 minutes and includes a GPS-tracked route. Your sitter will send a post-visit update so you know your dog got out, had a good time, and is back home safe. For Argyle families with high-energy breeds or dogs who simply do better with more structure and movement, we can build a consistent weekly schedule. Discounted weekly rates apply for clients booking five or more walks per week.
Your Home’s Security Is Our Priority
When you leave town, the last thing you want is a signal to the neighborhood that your home is empty. Our sitters arrive in personal vehicles — no uniforms, no company decals, nothing that draws attention. We rotate the lights, bring in the mail, and generally make the house look lived-in while you’re away. It’s a small thing that makes a big difference, and it’s something we take seriously in every neighborhood we serve.
Meet Our Argyle-Area Pet Sitters
Our northwest Denton County team includes some of the most dedicated animal lovers we’ve ever had the privilege of working with. Take Amy Ingram, one of our longest-tenured sitters in the northwest corridor with over ten years of service. Amy has cared for animals of every size, shape, and temperament — the easy ones and the “walking disasters” (her words, said with complete affection). She keeps a drawer of hedgehog toys specifically for her spiky clients, manages a home garden alongside her own beloved pets, and is the kind of sitter who treats your animals like family because, to her, they genuinely are. She exemplifies the kind of care that has kept DFW Pet Sitting clients coming back for over a decade.
Our Argyle-area sitters bring that same level of care to every home they visit — including properties with horses, barn animals, and the wide-open layouts that make this part of Denton County so special. If you’re curious about who serves your specific neighborhood or subdivision, just reach out and we’ll match you with the right person.
Argyle’s Best Spots for Pet Owners
Argyle may be a smaller town, but the options for getting outside with your animals are genuinely excellent. Harvest Bark Park inside the Harvest by Hillwood community is one of the most popular off-leash spots in the area — spacious, well-maintained, and always full of friendly neighbors and their dogs. The Lantana Trail System winds through the community’s green spaces and is a favorite for morning walks. Families also make the short drive to Flower Mound’s Twin Coves Park along Lake Grapevine for longer hikes with bigger dogs. And if you’re looking for a uniquely Argyle experience — north Denton County is home to working farms and ranches including alpaca farms, where local children and families regularly visit to connect with animals in a way that just doesn’t happen in most of the metroplex.
What Argyle Pet Owners Say
“We’ve been using DFW Pet Sitting for our two Labs and our barn cats for three years. Amy knows our property like the back of her hand — she checks the back gate, fills the water buckets, and even sends us photos of the sunset from the pasture. Totally irreplaceable.”
— Jennifer R., Argyle resident (Lantana)
“I have three dogs and two goats. Finding someone who could handle all of them was a challenge until we found DFW Pet Sitting. They matched us with a sitter who has her own goats — it’s been perfect.”
— Marcus T., Argyle acreage property owner
“Living in Harvest, I was worried about finding a reliable walker who wouldn’t have to drive 30 minutes to get here. My sitter lives five minutes away and has never missed a visit in 18 months. Highly recommend.”
— Danielle K., Harvest by Hillwood resident

Frequently Asked Questions — Pet Sitting in Argyle, TX
Do you care for farm animals and livestock in Argyle?
Yes — Argyle has a significant number of properties with horses, goats, miniature donkeys, chickens, ducks, and other farm animals, and our sitters are experienced with multi-species households. Please mention all animals when you contact us so we can match you with the sitter best suited to your specific situation.
Can you cover large acreage properties in Argyle and the surrounding areas like Bartonville and Double Oak?
Absolutely. We regularly serve properties on larger lots throughout the Argyle area, including Bartonville and Double Oak. Our sitters are comfortable checking multiple structures, securing gates, and managing animals spread across bigger properties. Just let us know the layout during our initial conversation.
I live in Lantana — is that part of your Argyle service area?
Yes! Lantana is one of our most active neighborhoods in the Argyle area. Our sitters are familiar with the community’s layout, trail system, and gate access, and we have a number of longtime clients there.
What about Harvest by Hillwood — do you serve that community?
We do. Harvest is a wonderful community and we’ve been happy to serve families there as it’s grown. If you’re near Harvest Bark Park, the amenity center, or anywhere in the neighborhood, we can help with dog walking, drop-ins, vacation sits, and more.
Why shouldn’t I just use Rover or Wag for my Argyle pet care?
Apps like Rover and Wag connect you with independent contractors — meaning the company takes no real responsibility for who enters your home. DFW Pet Sitting is a fully insured, locally owned company. Every sitter is background-checked and vetted by us personally. You’re not hiring a stranger from an app; you’re working with a team that has been serving DFW families for over 20 years — and the official pet sitting provider for Microsoft and Oracle corporate employees in the DFW area.
How do visits work when I have multiple pets including dogs, cats, and maybe a barn animal or two?
We’ll go over every animal during our initial meet-and-greet so the sitter knows each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, and any special needs. Multi-pet households — including those with a mix of dogs, cats, and other animals — are something we genuinely enjoy and handle regularly.
Do you offer overnight stays in Argyle, or just drop-in visits?
We offer both. Drop-in visits are great for dogs who do well alone for longer stretches and just need regular feeding and outdoor time. Overnight stays are ideal for anxious pets, puppies, seniors, or animals who simply do better with consistent human presence. We’ll help you figure out which option is the best fit.
Are your sitters available over the holidays? Argyle families tend to travel quite a bit.
We know — Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, and summer are our busiest stretches by far. We do our best to accommodate holiday requests, but we recommend booking as early as possible, especially if you’ll be gone over a major holiday. Slots fill up quickly in communities like Argyle and Lantana.
