V.I.Pets was formed in early 2001 with the intent of providing pet owners a healthier alternative to boarding or kenneling their pets.

Les Platz, the founder of V.I.Pets, is a transplant to the Dallas / Fort Worth area. Originally from a rural community in NE Kansas, Les has worked with animals both large and small most of his life while growing up on his family's ranch. He relocated to Texas in 1994 to pursue an MBA at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. He made Dallas his home upon graduation.

With the high quality of care that V.I.Pets provides, our V.I.Pets list of clients has quickly grown over the years. Over this same period, we have continually been recognized by D Magazine as one of Dallas' premier pet care companies. We take great pride in this recognition, as we know there is great competition in the pet sitting service industry. A huge part of V.I.Pets success can be contributed to the terrific staff of pet care professionals that Les has assembled over the years. It is this team's effort in their high quality delivery of pet care that keeps our clients very happy and referring us to their family and friends. As a new client of V.I.Pets, you will have the opportunity to meet both Les and one of his staff of pet care professional when setting up pet care service.

V.I.Pets is located in Lakewood, near White Rock Lake. Our service area includes: Uptown, Highland Park, University Park, Preston Hollow, and Lake Highlands (see our service map).

If you are outside our service area, we will be happy to assist you in finding a quality pet sitting service.
