“I had to find a last minute sitter during the holiday season and thankfully Katie was available. She did fantastic, and gave my cat proper attention for the morning check-ins. My cat freaks out when left alone, so for a multiple day trip, having a sitter who would pet/brush/play with her is essential. The cat was nice and happy when we got back, so I’m very grateful for Katie’s service.”
“Alison did an amazing job with both of my cats! One needed medicine every 12 hours and she was on top of it. She sent multiple pictures and sent me a great description after each visit.”
About: I was a Rover sitter from 2016-2020 in Houston with over 75 5-star ratings until the pandemic shutdown. I live in beautiful Nacogdoches now with my poodle mix Poppy. I will care for your home and dogs, and ensure their security, as if they were my own. I will send at least two photos a day to show you how well they are doing. Rest and relax while you are away knowing they are being personally cared for by a mature professional. Poppy travels with me for overnight stays. She is housebroken and will be slowly and carefully introduced to your animals and if they don't get along I will keep them separated. I stay home full time and am always available. Your pets needs will be my first priority. I will set the alarm before I leave if applicable. Poppy spends the night in her crate but the rest of the time she is by my side when I work in the garden or in the house.

About: I’ve been dog sitting regularly down in Texas while I have been attending university.
