The Best Care For Your Best Friend
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Houston and my love for animals began at a very early age. There has not been a time in my life when pets weren't a part of it. While I lived at home I helped care for our family pets and after high school I became an Approved Veterinary Assistant through NAVTA. Since then I have worked as a veterinary assistant at an Animal Emergency Hospital and a research associate at a Clinical Research Organization. Over the years, friends and family would ask me to care for their pets because they trusted my abilities and knew I would treat their pets as my own. I began my official pet sitting journey with Rover in March of 2019 and have since met so many amazing owners and pets! I understand the difficulty of finding someone who will care for your pets and respect your home. My clients can rest assured that they will be provided the highest degree of professionalism and heartfelt care for their four-legged family members. I believe that all pets and pet care regimens are unique and I pride myself on following your specific needs to the best of my ability and giving your pets my undivided attention. I can't wait to hear from you!
Reviews
Houston was amazing with our boy Tucker. Because of Houston, we were able to have our baby in our ceremony and it will be one of my favorite memories of my wedding day! We can’t thank Houston enough!??
Houston sent plenty of pictures and responded promptly when we had questions. They seemed knowledgeable and excited to be around our dog. I would definitely book again.
Houston has been our "Go To Rover Sitter" for several years. Hank is a 15 LB sensitive Bischon/Poodle. He needs someone who understands him. Houston took great care of Hank while I was travelling. She is trustworthy. I can leave mail out, invoices from work, etc and have absolute certainty that my private papers on the work desk will remain untouched. She is dependable and sends photos for each walk. It's comforting to see those photos when you are 1000's of miles away from your beloved Pet. It would be worthwhile to have a Meet & Greet with Houston and meet her. The joy in her aura is palpable and she truly loves animals. We will miss her as she moves to her new home in Chicago and we wish her only the best.
Houston treats Hank like he is her own dog. Hank is always calm and happy after she takes care of him. i couldn't do my job without her valuable and reliable help!
About Houston S.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
It can be stressful on a pet to be away from their owner(s) so I like to keep in their traditional routine as much as possible.
Information Houston S. would like to know about your pet
To offer the best care it is helpful to know as much about an animal as possible. Including, but not limited to, their schedule, medication lists, likes, dislikes, and favorite activities/toys.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on walks, to the dog park, or to get a pup cup (all with owner permission of course). If we aren’t going on a field trip I like to spend a lot of time playing with them in a style they prefer. (Fetch, tug of war, stimulating puzzles, etc.)

Pet care is my full time job; so I plan my weekly routine around what clients I have scheduled and what their specific needs are.
