About Grand Paws Pet Sitter

North Texas Pet Sitting, Dog Walking & House Sitting Service

Grand Paws Pet Sitter is a professional, in-home specialty pet care service that caters specifically to the needs of your pets and your home. We travel to your home to care for your pets in their own familiar environment where they are the most comfortable and happy. This allows your pet to keep their everyday routine without ever having to leave the comfort and safety of their home. You can travel having peace of mind knowing that your pets are in the hands of a loving and caring professional. We are a pet sitting and dog walking company unmatched by any other in both service and staff.

You and your pets are our priority. During our initial consultation, we will come to your home to meet you and your pets and learn as much information as possible about your pets, their routines, personalities and needs. We will provide a service contract and pet profile sheets, which will request all necessary information, emergency contacts, veterinary information, etc. To guarantee the safety of your pets and property, we are bonded, insured and all sitters are employees of Grand Paws (not contractors). We are a registered business and members of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters and Pet Sitters International; and we adhere to their quality standards of excellence.

At Grand Paws Pet Sitter, we believe in making your pet sitting experience fun and enjoyable, so we are who you call every time you must leave home. We proudly serve Far North Dallas, Plano, Frisco, Carrollton, Castle Hills, Addison, The Colony and other surrounding communities. Please call us to see if we currently service your area.

Meet the Owner

Dana McKool has been a resident in the Dallas area, since 1981. A graduate of Texas A&M University with a business degree in Marketing, she had a successful career in Corporate Advertising for over 17 years. Although advertising was her day job, her love and passion was working with and rescuing animals. She spent much of her free time volunteering with local shelters and organizations. She affectionately became known among her peers in the advertising industry as the “animal lady”.

While in the corporate world, business travel was a major part of Dana’s life. Trying to find someone who would not only care for her pets while she traveled, but also love them like she did, was very hard to do. It was out of this need, and her love and passion for animals, that Grand Paws Pet Sitter was born. Her goal was to provide superior pet care with the utmost integrity and professionalism, while having fun along the way.

Dana and her husband share their home with two rambunctious, big dogs, three diva kitties, two hilarious parrots and one super affectionate snake.

 

Client Testimonials:

“…After several very disappointing experiences with other in-home services, Dana was introduced to us by our vet. Her attention to detail, personal touches, and dependable service are priceless. We feel very blessed to have Grand Paws care for our kitties and watch our home when we are away…”

Laurie & Gene Robichaux

“I have personally known Dana since 1999 as a client of our practice, and have recommended her services to my clients since the inception of Grand Paws Pet Sitter. As a veterinarian in Plano, we have a very large, mutual clientele; and I’ve heard nothing but good things about her services.”

Scott B. Murphy, DVM

“Dana is the most responsible, thorough and compassionate pet sitter you could ever hope to find. She took care of our ornery bulldog and loved him when no one other than family could. When he passed I called her, and she dropped everything, drove to the vet, and held a dead dog in her lap until he had safely passed.”

Debra & Rick Cook

A Letter from the Owner. . .

I started Grand Paws Pet Sitter back in 2001, because it was becoming increasingly difficult for me to find pet sitters who would not only care for my pets, but also love them like I do. My goal is to provide our clients with superior pet care with the utmost integrity and professionalism, while having fun along the way.
