I am new to the Dallas area and it took me months before I finally found my forever pet boarding place with D Best Pet Sitting! I also tried two other pet boarding places (Urban Paws in Deep Ellum and Dee's Doggy Den on Mockingbird) and they were both hugely negative experiences for me and my dog Maverick. Julie is the name of the owner of D Best Pet Sitting and she is beyond words incredible! She runs the business out of her beautiful home complete with a huge backyard (with a nice pool I might add!)
I love taking my dog, Maverick, to be "boarded" here because it is not traditional boarding. Let me give you an example: The first time I ever dropped Maverick off with Julie, she asked me where Maverick typically sleeps when at my home. I told her he sleeps in my bed with me. Her immediate response was: "Ok then, Maverick will be sleeping in the bed with me then while he is here!" Please tell me where else that would ever happen? I was flabbergasted how thoughtful she was to even suggest that! I know without a shadow of a doubt that Maverick will not be siting in a cage all day! He is literally sleeping in Julie's bed with her! You CANNOT get that kind of care at any other pet boarding place. EVER. There are typically not even any people at other pet boarding places overnight. Your dog is just left in a cage until "the staff" arrive. Not here! Also, the prices are SO REASONABLE! I was so shocked to see how cheap it was to board here compared to other boarding facilities. I actually get to pay LESS to NOT have my dog sit in a cage all day? UMM YES PLEASE!
Julie runs her business from her very nice home so your dog (or cat) will be in a normal and comfortable home environment compared to a typical, run of the mill boarding facility. Julie and her husband are very nice and trustworthy people. Even better, communicating with Julie is so easy. As in just shoot her a text message easy. I've had pet sitters and pet walkers who make you jump through hoops to just hear how your dog is doing. Julie VOLUNTARILY sends me texts, pictures, AND VIDEOS of what Maverick is doing at her house while I am out of town. Some of the cutest pictures and videos I have of him are from Julie. I can't brag on her enough. NO WHERE else will you get that kind of personalized service. This woman truly cares about your pets. Coordinating drop off, pick up times, and dates is just as easy. I just text her if my plane is delayed and I will be later picking Maverick up then planned, and she has always been accommodating to my schedule.
Finally, what does my dog Maverick think about D Best Petting? Well pet owners can tell if their dog had a positive or negative experience at a pet boarding place. I have boarded Maverick other places (see above) where he came home scared, sick, or with tons of energy (indicating he'd been in a cage all day). When Maverick comes home from D Best Pet Sitting, he looks so happy! Plus he sleeps for the next two days straight because he is so worn out from all of the playing! When I drop him off, he gets so excited to see Julie's house! Then he gets even more excited when he sees Julie! Please do not board your animal ANYWHERE ELSE in Dallas!!! Go see Julie!
