Dog Sitting in Frisco, TX
Dog sitting in Frisco, TX, from Fur Services Fur Pets means a trained Pet Companion comes to your home at least three times in every 24 hours, or at least twice if your dog has doggy door access. Visits usually land in morning, afternoon and late evening windows, so your dog’s day keeps a shape while you’re gone. Frisco visits start at $32.
We provide in-home dog sitting as part of our in-home pet care in Frisco, in select areas of north and west Frisco. To see whether your street is in the territory, check your address. The $32 visit is a 20-minute potty break. Longer visits cost more, and the visit rules and the Frisco visit rates are laid out below.

Where We Provide Dog Sitting in Frisco
Our dog care covers select areas of north and west Frisco, and a published territory map sets the boundary. Before you plan dates, check your address or call (214) 240-5269 and ask about your street.
In-home dog sitting suits households that will be away for a day or longer, with a dog who needs people at the door several times a day. If you’ve been searching for a dog sitter in Frisco for a vacation or a long weekend, the visits come to you, so your dog keeps its own bed and bowls.
What Happens on a Dog Visit
A dog visit looks after your dog’s day and your house while you’re away.
Your Pet Companion spends quality time with your dog, takes it out for outside breaks, refreshes food and water on schedule and gives basic medications. Accidents get cleaned up to the best of the Pet Companion’s ability, so you aren’t greeted by a mess when you walk in.
Your Pet Companion also brings in the mail daily, rotates the lights and blinds so the house doesn’t sit dark while you’re away, and does a security and perimeter check of the home. Plants get watered, and trash and recycle cans go to the curb and back on trash days, when you ask for it.
Puppies and Dogs Who Can't Hold It Long
Puppies 6 to 16 weeks old get visits every 3 to 4 hours, with overnight visits required to support potty training and prevent more accidents. Puppies 17 weeks to 6 months get visits every 4 to 5 hours, with the first and last visit spots each day. These are our own puppy scheduling rules.
The same scheduling rules can also apply to senior dogs who can’t hold their potty for long periods of time. On that point, the ASPCA’s page on behavior problems in older dogs says, “You may need to adjust your schedule to accommodate your dog’s need for more frequent elimination in his senior years.”
Choosing Visits a Day, Visit Length and Overnight Care
Our minimum for in-home dog visits is three in every 24 hours for a dog without doggy door access, and two for a dog with it.
VCA Animal Hospitals’ page on house soiling says, “If you plan to leave your dog for a long period of time, have a pet sitter come to let the dog out rather than risk the dog experiencing an urgency to eliminate.” Under our own rule, if potty accidents turn up more than twice in a row, we add one more visit each day for the rest of the reservation.
The usual visit windows are morning from 7am to 10am, afternoon from 2pm to 5pm and late evening from 7pm to 10pm. Early morning visits (6am to 7am) and midnight visits (10pm to 12am) cost extra. Four visits a day is the most common schedule, and three to six visits a day can be arranged.
Length follows a few rules. A 20-minute visit is a potty break only. Two of each day’s visits must be at least 30 minutes, and additional visits can be 20 minutes. Early morning, late night and feeding visits can’t be 20 minutes.
Frisco is in Area B, where each dog visit is priced by length:
Rates include the first two pets, and additional pets are $2 each. The complete rate sheet and visit rules are on our in-home pet sitting page.
If your dog needs someone through the night, an overnight stay is 10 hours in your home, most often 9pm to 7am. Food and water follow your instructions, medication is included at no additional charge, and an evening or morning walk is optional. The Frisco rate for an overnight stay is $165 per night, including the first two pets.
Cats in the same home follow their own visit rules, which are covered on our cat sitting in Frisco page.
When your dates are set, book your dog’s visits in the online client portal.

What Dog Owners Say About Our Dog Care
Here’s what Google reviewers say after we’ve cared for their dogs.
"Fur Services Fur Pets did an amazing job with our 3 dogs while we were out of town. We received multiple updates and photos daily, never having to worry about the care they were receiving while we were away."
"I trust them with daily visits and even overnight stays with my dogs. They take the time to play and even clean up unexpected messes."
"They have been taking care of my boys since they were puppies."
"Our dogs love them and so do we. They communicate extremely well and are such a well run business."
Dog Care in a Frisco Home
Frisco’s city code requires owners to have a dog vaccinated against rabies by four months of age, and Texas law sets the same four-month line.
Frisco’s code adds a booster within 12 months of the first vaccination, then revaccination at least once every three years. It also says the collar or harness with the rabies tag attached is to be worn by the dog “at all times.”
Time outside has its own rules. Frisco’s code makes it an offense to tether an animal to a stationary object “for any length of time,” with a narrow defense that requires continuous, direct physical control and a properly fitting collar or harness. The same code says every owner must provide shelter with shade, and clean water, available to the animal at all times.
The City of Frisco’s Wildlife Resources page adds, “In general, do not leave pets unattended outdoors.”
Frisco Dog Sitting Questions
What does a day of dog sitting cost in Frisco?
Three 30-minute visits a day at $35 each come to $105 a day for up to two pets in Frisco (Area B), before holiday fees.
What should I do with my dog on July 4 in Frisco?
At home, the AVMA advises keeping pets inside if you or your neighbors are setting off fireworks, and the ASPCA says “turning on some soft music and moving your pet into an interior room with no windows can be helpful.” Frisco’s code prohibits consumer fireworks inside the city limits, while the City runs its own July 4 celebration with a fireworks finale and issues permits for professional displays. The City’s Freedom Fest website says “dogs should stay home on July 4,” advice for the festival itself. July 4th is also a listed holiday-fee date for our visits.
Does Frisco require a dog license?
No. Frisco’s code says “A license is voluntary,” and the City runs a voluntary pet registration program meant to help get a lost pet home. Registering asks for a rabies certificate showing vaccination within the preceding 12 months for a 12-month registration, or within 36 months for a 36-month registration.
If I book an overnight stay, does my dog still need daytime visits?
We highly recommend adding at least one daytime visit for all clients with dogs who book an overnight stay, since it gives your dog additional potty breaks during the day. Additional fees apply.
My house-trained dog has started having accidents. Should I call my vet?
Yes, a call to your own vet is a sensible first step. Texas A&M’s College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences says an adult dog that’s already potty trained and suddenly starts having reoccurring accidents could be showing a sign of a health problem. The ASPCA adds that some older dogs may begin soiling in the house when their schedule, environment or household changes.
