Plano Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers

All dog walkers and pet sitters in Plano are employees of DFW Pet Sitting. They are bonded and covered by our liability insurance. We employ pet lovers who work in their immediate neighborhoods, usually within 5 miles of their homes. Our company monitors every assignment. The manager and owner are both on call 24/7.

Why Us?

You will meet one of our dog walkers or pet sitters who live in Plano.

It is so crucial that your pet sitter or dog walker is local. Plano is located in the north area of the metroplex.  You don’t want your pet sitter or dog walker to drive too far to get to you. 

Plano, Allen, Frisco, McKinney, and North Dallas are the main areas our Plano branch covers.   Less time in traffic means more time in your home with your pets! Plus, the on-call manager monitors each pet sitter’s activity, and we ensure the schedule is followed. 👍🐾

We have a small pet sitting branch here in Plano that we manage as a small company.  But this small company is a part of a big, well-established, and reputable organization.  Being a part of DFW Pet Sitting Services, Inc. assures our clients that someone is constantly monitoring all visits and communicating with the pet sitters and clients.

How do we ensure the quality of pet sitting and dog walking services in Plano?

• Our employees work only within a 5-mile radius of where they live.
• All our employees are screened, insured, bonded, and trained.
• We do NOT use independent contractors.
• The pet sitter you meet will be the ONLY person with access to your home.  We have established a Pet Sitting Emergency Protocol to ensure your pets’ care is uninterrupted.  We closely monitor those situations.
• We use a “state of the art” software system to monitor the employees’ completed visits per their schedule.  We make sure that nothing falls through the cracks.

We are a Plano pet sitting and dog walking company.  Would you like to check out these local dog walking spots we recommend?

Dog walking stimulates your senses and develops your pet’s appetite for the outdoors. There are several trails in Plano to take your best friend on an adventure.  Our favorite one is the Bob Woodruff Park Trail!  Are you excited to take your dog for a nice long walk there?  With canyons and rolling hills, there’s more than you think.  Get out and explore!  This trail packs quite a punch for a day or half-day walk. Here’s another cool tidbit: it’s also connected to the Santa Fe and Oak Point Park & Nature Preserve Trail.  There are several water features among excellent pathways through the forest.  BTW: at the south side of the trail, a particular resident has taken up permanent residence–the Quincentennial Bur Oak, the oldest tree in Plano!

Like we said, get out and explore with your pet.  Take a few hours and soak up some nature.  We insist! 

Our Story

DFW Pet Sitting Services was established in 2003.  At that time, nobody knew who professional pet sitters were.  Everyone just assumed we were a local boarding facility.  “What?  You guys come to my house? For real??”  That was a common exclamation when pet owners would call us for services.

The owner of the company was an MBA grad with two Bachelor’s degrees.  She was passionate about her four-legged babies (all five of them).  She loved to travel and hated leaving them behind.  It was a perfect mix: she was a customer who needed the best solution for her pets.  And she had a business background.  It was the start of our DFW metroplex expansion, and Plano was our first stop.

For any business, growth is always the goal.  Pet sitting is a different animal.  Bigger is not always better when high-touch, close, personal relationships drive the business.

We chose to be very slow in our expansion.  Being very selective about the people we hire is why we chose “organic” growth over aggressive market penetration.

We also realize that someone always has to be on call.  Emergencies happen, and we can’t just miss a visit.  A mistake could cost a pet’s life.  We don’t want ever to be a part of that.

Our Plano location gained traction and credibility in the area, one client at a time, one employee at a time.

Our Pet Sitters

Vicky O.

Vicky has been employed with Plano Pet Sitting since 2000.  We constantly receive excellent reviews and testimonials about her loving and caring personality.  Her clients adore her and look forward to their trips, knowing that their babies will receive excellent care while they are gone.

Vicky has two dogs and two cats – a very dynamic pet family!  Her favorite pastime with her dogs is taking lovely long walks.  She prefers to take them to Chisholm Trail, where they get plenty of fresh air, active exercise, and lots of compliments from other pets and their owners!

Plano Dog Park is another place to spot Vicky with her Great Pyrenees.  He loves the place and sleeps like a baby when he gets home.  A tired dog is a happy dog.  Enough said.

Vicky would like to give a special shout-out to Classy Doggie Cuts.  In her opinion, they are by far the best groomers in town!

Vicky’s area of expertise covers all domestic pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, etc.  She is proficient in administering medicine as well as insulin injections.

Courtney B.

Courtney joined the ranks of our pet sitters in Plano back in March 2016.  Her clients LOVE how she connects with their pets.  She is a loving and reliable pet sitter.  Animals have always played an essential part in her life.  She grew up riding horses and taking care of different farm animals.  She is a former vet tech.  Courtney can’t imagine her life without pets in it!

She has two adorable Rotties and one cat.  The cat thinks he’s a rottie, too.  He owns them all.  He rules the house.  Courtney has an extraordinary pastime with her four-legged family: playing hide and seek.  The excitement overflows the house when her dog-kids discover all the hiding spots.

One of her dogs has special needs.  Courtney is grateful for Dr. Brandy Porterpan from the Animal Diagnostic Clinic.  She gave her pup the best quality of life he could have ever had.  Another local business shoutout goes to Einsteins Bagels!  Thank goodness for their dog bagels!  Courtney’s dogs go crazy when they see the bag!

Courtney loves being a professional pet sitter.  This job allows her to have a balanced life between work and family.  It also gives her the outlet to see all kinds of animals daily.  She spends her free time volunteering for a local PTA and sitting on the Plano Parks Foundation board.

Courtney appreciates her furry clients and values the relationships she has made with their parents.  She truly believes that she has the best pet clients in Plano!

Karen D.

Karen has worked for DFW Pet Sitting since August 2016.  She is known to go above and beyond when caring for her four-legged clients!  She loves all living and breathing creatures and treats them as her kind.

Karen has four fur-kids: a 5-year-old Labradoodle, a 10-year-old beagle mix rescue pup, and two cats (6 and 8 years old) who get along beautifully with their dog family members.

Karen takes her dogs out at least three times a week.  They go to parks and visit pet-friendly businesses in the area.  Their favorite place to visit is the Pet Supplies Plus store.  They love it so much that they are considered regulars over there.  The dogs are always greeted by their names.  What an excellent, friendly service!

Karen’s favorite part about being a professional pet sitter is expanding her pet friendships to other people’s pets.  She values long-term relationships with the pets she takes care of.  Nothing is more rewarding than seeing the genuine happiness on the little furry faces.  That’s the best boss to have, no question!

Cari C.

Cari has been with us since March 2015.  She is intelligent, loving, reliable, and trustworthy.  She consistently delivers high-quality pet-sitting service with every pet-sitting assignment she gets.  Cari cares about her clients’ pets as if they were her own.

She loves visiting local Petsmart to meet and mingle with other pet lovers.  Cari’s clients love the level of communication and professionalism they receive from her. Going into the third year of her employment with us, Cari’s clients love her being consistent and reliable.

Meeting with clients is Cari’s favorite part of this job.  It makes everyone feel at ease and comfortable.  Pets love consistency, and clients love knowing who enters their house.  Cari is a fantastic pet sitter in Plano, and her clients feel lucky to have her.

Jeff B.

Jeff joined Plano Pet Sitting about five years ago.  He was our client and expressed interest in Plano pet sitting and dog walking.  The rest is history.  We cannot express enough what a lucky day was when Jeff joined our forces.  He has an impeccable reputation and a very long list of pleased customers.  An established Plano resident, Jeff likes spending all his time with animals.  When not pet sitting, he volunteers at the Plano Animal Shelter.

Jeff has three dogs of his own.  They are his babies.  His favorite pastime is playing on the floor with them or in his spacious backyard.
