Pet Sitting Bellaire

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was a teenager and have always loved having animals in my life. I’ve owned a tabby cat, English Bull Terrier and currently have a Yorkie mix. I raised chickens as a child and currently have a flock of bantams. I’ve cared for friends’ and family members’ pets in my home while they’ve gone out of town. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I understand that pets are family and deserve patience, attention, and dependable care. I’m currently back in school studying nursing, which gives me a flexible schedule that works well with pet care. I’m looking forward to spending that time with some wonderful animals while providing the same attentive care I would want for my own. I am a student and have classes Tuesdays 9-2 and Thursdays 9-11. Outside of those times, I have a lot of flexibility! I can help with nights and weekends on a case-by-case basis. I believe animals need attention, mental stimulation and exercise every day. I’d be happy to walk or jog with your dog, play with them, give belly rubs or run through tricks that they know - whatever makes you and them happy!

“We have booked with Emily several times and she is always so great with our pets. They love her and she is very responsive/reliable, and sends regular updates on them!”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover since I was very little, being around them brings me so much joy. I say hi to every dog and cat I come across, even lizards too. I have dog sat for a few friends and family. They say I’m their first choice in asking to dog sit because the animals love me and I’m fun! I love going on long walks or even short ones with pups and have even had two at a time. I love playing and cuddling with cats too. I have 2 cats of my own, Turnip and Rhubarb, that are amazing little best friends. I had a Pomeranian that lived to be 18.5 years old so I have experience with older pets and their ailments. I also adore puppies and kittens, I love their energy and of course cuteness! Id love to be your pets’ new best buddy! Im currently in school for PT Tech so my weekdays are pretty open while doing a but of school everyday. I help with my elderly grandparents once a week for a few hours usually wednesdays. But I will know each week which day that will be. I am a trustworthy pet advocate with two free range cats in my home that do not go outside. I’m great with certain and/or detailed feeding instructions. I had a Pomeranian that lived to be 18.5 years old that took meds every day and was on a special diet. I will play with and entertain your pet while on visits but also relax too if they need that as well. I’m calm around all animals no matter the situation.

“Yuriko showed up for a last minute request, including driving all the way somewhere else for a key exchange, on Thanksgiving and kept up with communication and instructions.”

“Dani is so great with our pets! We have used her services multiple times in the last year and she has always been wonderful. She is very responsive and sends us very detailed updates about how our pets are doing while we are out of town. Our pets also seem to love her as they don’t show any signs of distress when we get back home which used to be a problem when we would board them at pet care facilities. We have overall had a positive experience with her and will continue to use her services!”

“We were really happy with Michelle looking after our huskies, Thanos and Kai, while we were out of town for a couple of days. She was reliable, attentive, and caring. Before our trip, she came over to our home to meet us so we could go over all the details, which immediately gave us peace of mind. Because of our busy schedules, our dogs usually only get walked late at night, but she managed to take them out for lovely walks both before and after her work shifts. Getting them outdoors seemed to have kept them happy, exercised, and well-cared for. She made sure they were fed, had fresh, clean water, and stayed in constant communication with us while we were away—complete with adorable photo updates! Thank you so much!”

About: I am an animal lover of all shapes and sizes. I am a mom of 2 bully breeds and do not discriminate! I would love to meet and care for all fur babies. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and anything else you may need! I have also had multiple senior family dogs and puppies throughout my 25 years. I am a recent graduate studying for my licensing exam and would love an excuse to meet and be outside with animals. My schedule is pretty flexible currently. Your home, your rules. It will be like I was never there. My goal is to care for your pets just as you would. Specific goals for walks or home will be upheld!

“Super flexible and great to work with. I was home and could tell she has a very calming demeanor with my dog - would absolutely recommend!”

Sarah F.

“Bianca has been nothing but sweet to our overly anxious girl! I’ve never seen my dog be so happy and ask someone to play so soon after meeting them. Would highly recommend!”

“I had a 5 day trip and it being my first time away from my pup I was really apprehensive and nervous. But as soon as Bailey saw Lindsey, she was great with her. She sent me pictures throughout the day and updates that made me feel more at ease. Shes awesome with Bailey and Im so glad to have Lindsey watch over her. Will definitely have her doggie sit again”

About: I was born and raised in Houston and have been sitting for family, friends, and other clients since I was a teenager. I’m used to working with a broad spectrum of dog breeds + dogs of all ages (not a stranger to doggy diapers and suspenders). I grew up with a pug named Chestnut who passed last year and he had such a big personality and spirit, and was a big part of my childhood. He is always in my heart and when I sit for other dogs, I give them all my love and care for them to the best of my ability 🤍! I pay close attention to a dog’s behavior and their body language signaling. It is important for their health, comfort, and safety. I graduated from Texas A&M last year and I am working and saving for continuing my education. I work Monday-Thursday 9-5 and Fridays from 9-2 but outside of that I have plenty of time for your dogs needs and play time :) My days usually begin at 7:00 am. In my free time I do yoga/meditate, play guitar, and make art! I need to be briefed on a dog’s routine and usual behaviors before pet sitting at a client’s house. I like to have initial meetings while the owner is present to establish a relationship with the dog in a comfortable environment for them. During drop-ins and house sitting days, I am only responsible for the dog and no other individuals in the house. I am not a babysitter for clients that have not explicitly reached out to me for that reason. I am also not responsible for 24-hour surveillance of your property during house-sitting as I would be living there as if it was my house. I am always respectful of my surroundings and leave the house like I found it.

About: I’ve always been intrigued with working with animals. In 6th grade, I joined this club called S.O. S. (save our strays) since then, I was infatuated with helping animals around the community. For as long as I remember, we’ve always fostered pets growing up and as I get older I realize the importance of having time and attention for these furr babies. I have a 3 year old german shepherd mix and her name is paisley! she is the sweetest girl I can ask for 🫶🏻 I am always learning more about pets everyday! I am primarily available for the weekends. during the week, I am working at my full time job. I am available during the week after 6pm and open availability for the weekends. I am huge in making sure the pet feels comfortable. Everyone takes care of their pets differently so I would start off with whatever the pet parents ask to do. I will keep constant communication with pet parents if they like and assure that their pets are being taken care of.

“Cristina did a great job taking care of our cat! She was very responsive to communication and did everything we asked. If you're looking for someone who is very responsible and easy to work with, she is your woman. We highly recommend her!”

“Brooke helped with multiple drop in visits to walk and play ball with my dog Mia. Mia loved seeing Brooke each day and I really appreciated the great communication and care she had for Mia. Thanks Brooke!!”

Nick M.

“Sara has been great with walking Beans. She is very punctual and keeps me updated with photos. Beans looks forward to her walks and always comes home happy! Thank you, Sara!”

China C.

“Catherine was wonderful! She is sweet, always prompt in responding to messages, and took great care of our kitty Garbanzo. She was also accomodating with our weird key situation and we would definitely book her again!”

About: I know firsthand that finding reliable and trustworthy care for your pets while you’re away can be stressful. As a local here in Houston, I understand the value of accountability. I grow up with dogs and cats, and I have been a sitter for my neighbors for more than 10 years. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry family. I’m available for drop in visits and walks daily. I provide a calm, clean, and meticulously organized environment where your pet can feel secure. I’m very conscious of household hazards and ensures that all areas are pet proofed. Whether we’re relaxing indoors or out for a walk, I maintain constant supervision. I’m also quick to recognize when a pet might be feeling stressed or anxious, and I know how to deescalate late those feelings by providing a quiet and comforting space.

About: I’ve owned dogs since I was a child, and grew up taking care of farm animals as well (chickens and cows). I’ve taken training courses over the years and am not afraid of reactive dogs. I am a masters student so I have odd hours, but I do all of my studying and work at home and am flexible most days. I am comfortable taking care of dogs in their home or mine. If they stay with me, I am very cautious and leave nothing out for them to get to. I live in a gated community with trails to walk, and a dog park where they can run around if you would like.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12, so I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From overnight stays to daily walks and drop-in visits, I’ve done a little bit of everything. I’m also a dog owner myself (although my pup spends the fall with my parents so he can enjoy some time with their dogs!), so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I treat every animal like my own and always make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away! As a law student, my schedule is pretty flexible! I don’t have classes on Thursdays or Fridays, and my weekends are generally wide open, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. Mondays and Wednesdays are my busier school days, and I have class on Tuesday evenings, but I’m happy to work around my schedule when possible. I'm more than happy to take them on walks or outside wherever they're most comfortable. I know every pet has their own routine and preferences, and I'm happy to stick to whatever makes them feel safest and happiest.

“Shrav was AMAZING with my cat Mephi. She was extremely detail oriented and worked hard to make sure she got any specific care instructions correctly. She definitely went above board and cleaned up and did other tasks for mephi’s and my home’s care that I was not expecting at all. I came home to a very happy and healthy kitty and clean home and never worried about my cat while I was away. Would definitely recommend booking with Shrav!!!”
