Erica was prompt, reliable and sweet to our two small pups. We received regular communication from her with photos. The moment we met her we felt confident that our puppies (who are like babies to us) would be well cared for and she exceeded our expectations. I recommend her for sure! Thank you, Erica!

Evelyn was a great dog sitter, she responded quickly and was very accommodating. She kept in touch while I as away by sending updates through pictures of my pup which was very comforting. She was very professional and I will definitely use her again in the future.

My first time trying house sitting and Carly made me a HUGE fan. She followed all of my instructions and was so respectful of my home. She left my house exactly like I left it and even washed all of the guest bedding before she left. My dog, Echo, was so happy when I got home. She did so well with his shyness with strangers and sent me lots of updates. I will absolutely be using Carly again!

Absolutely amazed by Alexis and how well she did. Very professional and had no problem watching our house even with some of the extra tasks asked of her. Ive had sitters in the past but never have I come home to house that felt cleaner than when I left. I appreciated the daily updates and behavioral observations. 10/10 will use her again

We are new to the area so we are very nervous about leaving our pets with someone we did not know. But James did absolutely amazing job! It was amazing to know our pets were well taken care of and happy in their own home. We will for sure be asking James to come and sit with our pets again!

About: I have several years of experience pet sitting as well as working as a veterinary technician for three years in the Houston area. I have grown up around animals all my life and dogs are absolutely my favorite animals! I have two of my own, one of which I've had since 2010 when he was a little puppy around 10 weeks old. I nursed him back to health when he had parvovirus! My other is a smaller rescue dog I adopted in 2017 who originally tested positive for heartworm disease but now he has been heatworm free for about two years! I am currently working a full time Monday through Friday job, but I do have weekends free and evenings. I also can get Fridays off most of the time if needed. I have been at my current job for almost 7 years so my bosses are very negotiable and I am generally able to adjust my schedule with advance notice. I will play with your pups, cuddle, take them on walks, and even to the dog park with your approval! I have a smaller dog of my own who loves to play with other dogs!

About: Hi, I’m Madelyn!, Your Friendly Neighborhood Pet Sitter! With a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience, I provide reliable, compassionate care for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, I make sure your furry (or feathered!) family members feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, and furry friends of any kind of size! I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs—feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just keeping them company. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Trustworthy, punctual, and detail-oriented, I aim to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Let’s make your time apart from your pet as stress-free as possible—for both of you! 🐶 🦴 🐱🩵🦜🦴🐓💙🐴 Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day, I schedule time specifically for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins with the pets I care for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening check-ins, I structure my day around my clients’ needs to ensure consistency and reliability. I treat each pet like they’re part of my own family, so spending time with them doesn’t feel like a task—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. On a weekly basis, I also stay in touch with pet owners to confirm schedules, provide updates, and adjust care plans if needed. My routine is flexible but always built around providing the highest level of attention, safety, and affection to every animal I care for. In clients’ homes, or my own I follow their pet’s routine—feeding, walks, play, meds, and cleanup—ensuring comfort, safety, and love in a familiar, stress-free environment..🐶👍🏡🐾

About: I have had dogs in my family all my life. I worked at a pet boarding center called Circle Star Pet Resort and will always take cute pictures of your fur babies! I used to foster dogs, but I get too attached to those babies so I couldn’t do it anymore :( I have helped out with bathing and taking care of some of the top show dogs in our country which has been the best opportunity of my life! Due to that my prices are a bit higher but I have the experience! I have a dog myself who is the sweetest baby ever! He loves it when I bring home a friend so they will have plenty of playtime together!
