Comprehensive In-Home Pet Care, Tailored to Your Schedule

At Top Dog, we believe that pets are a big part of what makes a home. As much as you love being home, you also have things that take you away from being with your furry family.

  • Maybe you work long hours.
  • Maybe you enjoy your social life after work.
  • Or maybe you like to travel.

If you have a dog, you want them to have a good walk, go out to see the world, and have a sniff around the neighborhood. If you have a cat, maybe you want them to have some playtime and cuddling when you travel. Even if your pet isn’t much of a social butterfly, you still want them to have a little company, so they don’t get lonely or bored.

We have you covered! Every day, the Top Dog team takes care of pets in Fort Worth, offering midday potty breaks and dog walks as well as in-home dog sitting, cat sitting, and pet sitting services.

Compassionate Care, Local Roots: Get to Know Our Team.

At Top Dog Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Service, we believe that exceptional pet care starts with an exceptional team. Founded in 2011 by Shannon McKinzie, a lifelong Fort Worth resident, our mission has always been to provide compassionate, reliable, and personalized care for your beloved pets. We are committed to being the best place to work so that we can offer you the best care in the industry.

Our team members, affectionately known as “pet nannies,” undergo comprehensive training, including pet first aid and CPR certification, to ensure they are equipped to handle any situation with professionalism and care. Each pet nanny is fully vetted through detailed background checks, and we contact previous employers to verify their references. We are fully insured and bonded, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Beyond our dedication to our clients, we are passionate about giving back to the community and saving lives. Our team actively volunteers and fosters for local rescues, including Highway Hounds, Saving Hope Rescue, Benbrook 4Paws, and Fort Worth Animal Control. We are also proud members of the Benbrook Chamber of Commerce, Texas Pet Sitters Association, and Pet Sitters International, reflecting our commitment to professional excellence and community engagement.

At Top Dog, your pets are not just animals; they are family. We look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies and providing the loving care they deserve.

Our Amazing Testimonials

I have been using Top Dog Pet Sitting Service for five years and every experience has been amazing. Every sitter has been so loving and caring to our dog and sends me a picture every day which I always look forward to seeing.

I highly recommend using Top Dog and it’s so convenient since they come to your house. They will even do special things like pick up the mail or water plants. I will never use any other service again!

I am so grateful that we found Top Dog Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Service for our 3 dogs. Shannon, Jamie & Kara make an amazing team! They go above & beyond to take care of our fur babies!

It brightens up our day when we receive photos & updates during their visits. I know our babies look forward to their visits every day & they especially love the yummy homemade treats they get from Top Dog. TOP DOG is TOP NOTCH! We highly recommend!

Autumn Francis

We have used Top Dog Pet Sitters for several years. We started with 0ur first lab and continue to use them with our two new labs. We love that Top Dog leaves such complete notes on what activities they did with the pets, the mood of the pets, etc. The pets even get a grade on how they did when Top Dog was visiting.

We know Top Dog takes amazing care of them because on the few occasions that Top Dog has come by the house while we were home the dogs were super excited to see our sitter (as opposed to the barking they do for other visitors.)

They are reliable and thorough and easy to work with. We are very happy with their service and will continue to use as long as we have pets.

YOUR PET DESERVES CONSISTENT, LOVING CARE—EVEN WHEN YOU’RE BUSY

We get it—trusting someone else with your pet isn’t easy. You may worry about having a stranger in your home, whether your dog will like their walker, or if your sitter will actually show up.

That’s why at Top Dog, we do things differently.

We carefully match you with a trained, background-checked pet nanny who lives nearby and gets to know your pet’s routine.

You’ll get real-time updates, photos, and GPS check-ins through our app—so you’re never left wondering.

We’ve been doing this since 2011 and have built lasting relationships with hundreds of happy pet owners in Fort Worth and Benbrook.

When you choose Top Dog, you get reliable care, peace of mind, and a pet who’s happy, healthy, and loved.
