“Tisha was amazing! She kept us updated on our dog Duke and sent lots of pictures. He had friends to play with and we knew he was in great hands while away. We would definitely bring him back and recommend Tisha to everyone!”
“Lynda was fantastic!! She accepted my booking with nearly no notice, and did a great job with my older dog, Leo. Her place has a great little fenced in area for dogs, and you can tell that she really cares about their well being and doing little things to make them more comfortable and happy during their stay with her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Cindy is an amazing puppy sitter. I definitely recommend!!! 😇 I was out of town for the 1st time in Andrews 5months of life, and it felt like I didn’t miss one moment of my baby boy day/s. Cindy kept me updated and shared all is funny moments he encountered with her and her family. Keeping Andrew’s tight schedule was important to me, and priority for her. Ms Cindy will definitely be Andrew’s home away from home ❤️”
“it's rare when our dog doesn't travel with us, and he sometimes gets sad if we have to leave him with a sitter. so we were slightly concerned yet cautious when we left him with lana for a week during christmas. however, lana and her daughter loved on him so well that I'm not sure he even missed us at all. we got multiple updates and pictures daily which we loved and appreciated. they made paw print christmas ornaments and did the viral trend where you cut a hole in christmas wrappin paper and have the animal on the backside stickin their head through as if you're unwrappin them as a christmas gift. super cute and super sweet! I never once had a worry the entire week, and that in itself was such a relief, especially bein out of state during the holidays. he was excited to see me for about 2 split seconds when I picked him up, then went right back to doin his thing at lana's house. that was bittersweet lol - embarrassing for me, yet speaks highly of how well he was taken care of. highly recommend and will definitely be comin back!”
“Stefani was a great help ! We were in town and totally forgot the Texas State Aquarium didn’t allow pets. She took Lola into her home while we were at the aquarium. Kept me updated. When back in town and needing a sitter will definitely book again! Thank you once again!”
“Karimar was super awesome and worked with us so much! She consistently sent us pictures of our pups and gave us updates. Dogs were very happy and wouldn’t go with anyone else!”
“Debbie was great watching my girl Lexie. She provided lots of updates and photos, and was lenient with the pickup time! I know Lexie was in great care, I would definitely use Debbie again in the future! Thank you again :)”
“Donna went above and beyond in her care of our little shih tzu. We received photos and cute updates everyday while Zoey was with her. We have no doubt our little girl was loved and well taken care of. Donna will be our absolute go to from now on. She is amazing!”
“Maria was amazing! It was my first time leaving my puppy with a dog sitter, so I was a bit nervous, but she was amazing! She sent me pictures & updates and made sure my Zoey was well taken care of! definitely recommend!! 😊❤️”
“I highly recommend Karen. She was so kind and understanding of my fussy little dog and his high-maintenance owner (me). She sent lots of pictures of my baby during his stay which helped to set me at ease. Her home was clean and safe. I really can't say enough good things. I would definitely book her again.”
“Samantha was the best. I had to change drop off and pick up dates and she was really cool about it. She treated my dogs like her own, I didn’t worry about their well being while they were with her. I knew they were having a blast and being well taken care of. My new go-to sitter.”
“This is our second time using Heather and we are so thankful for her being able to watch our boy on short notice! He absolutely loves being there with her and the other dogs and comes back happy and exhausted! Highest recommendation for Heather!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for years including my own, fosters, and family and friends’ pets. I have experience with all ages and sizes of both cats and dogs. I do have a 7 year old lab in my home who is very friendly and loves overnight doggie guests. I would love to learn more about how I can help you care for your pet! Note: I only book one client at a time for in-my-home services (day car/boarding). I accept multiple dogs from the same family, but will not book another client while I have your dog(s). I currently work full time with a flexible schedule during the week and am very available on weekends! I’d be happy to see how I can fit your loved ones care into my schedule! I have a fully fenced (6ft wood privacy) large yard. We also allow our dog and your on all furniture and beds if they’d like; they’re a member of the family. We do have a crate for security if that makes your pup feel more safe and sound when they’re away from their humans. Please let me know if there are any other accommodations or notes I’d need to know to best care for your pet!
