“It gives me such peace of mind knowing Anastasia will take good care of my dog while I’m gone for the long day and give her some extra activity and engagement and love! :) I’m very happy with the current weekly dog walking and I’m excited to have her house/dog sit for me”

“Bailee has been wonderful to my two senior dogs! She is professional, kind, and very communicative about my pets. It gives me peace of mind knowing that my boys are in such good hands. I 100% recommend Bailee to anyone looking for experienced, reliable, and compassionate pet care!”


“Brittaney was a great walker for Archie! He loved going on walks with her and seemed so happy in his pictures. She was great at communicating and providing updates. She was flexible and made adjustments on bad weather days. Would recommend booking with her!”


About: Dogs have been a consistent and meaningful part of my life for years, and caring for animals is something I approach with intention, structure, and deep respect for their individual needs. I began walking neighborhood dogs in high school, cared for my own dog, Lady, for 15 years, and began fostering in 2024 in her honor. Since then, I have fostered 8 dogs, including multiple litters of puppies and adult dogs with a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and medical needs. My experience includes bottle feeding, potty training, basic training, senior care, medical recovery, and working with shy, anxious, reactive, and high-energy dogs. This has given me a strong ability to read behavior, adjust my approach, and create a calm, structured environment that supports each dog’s wellbeing. I currently have cats in my home, and any boarding or in-home care is thoughtfully considered in advance to ensure safe and appropriate compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervision, and clear routines so animals feel secure and stress is minimized. I live an active lifestyle, and dogs in my care receive consistent walks, enrichment, and attention. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and caring for multiple pets when appropriate, always prioritizing safety, structure, and stability. My approach is simple: thoughtful care, clear communication, and a calm environment where animals feel safe, understood, and well supported. Pet care is intentionally built into my daily routine, and I approach each booking with structure and consistency so pets feel secure and settled. I organize my day around feeding schedules, walks, enrichment, and check-ins, creating a predictable rhythm that supports each animal’s comfort and behavior. I am typically present throughout the day, with occasional short absences for workouts or errands, and I plan my schedule in advance to ensure I can fully meet the needs of each pet I take on. I only accept bookings when I am confident I can provide attentive, reliable care and maintain a calm environment. I provide calm, structured, and highly attentive care rooted in extensive hands-on experience with fosters, reactive dogs, puppies, seniors, and medically complex animals. I currently have cats in my home, so any in-home care is thoughtfully evaluated in advance to ensure safe, appropriate, and stress-free compatibility. I prioritize slow introductions, supervised interactions, and consistent routines to create stability and reduce uncertainty for every animal in my care. I am comfortable with crate training, medications, and supporting a wide range of behavioral needs, and I take care to ensure each pet’s environment is calm, predictable, and well-managed. When caring in a client’s home, I follow established routines closely to maintain continuity and reduce stress, treating each home with respect and professionalism. I accept bookings when I can fully support the needs of the pet and provide the level of care I would expect for my own.
“Ynes did a wonderful job with Winnie! She is reliable, flexible, and communicates promptly and clearly. Winnie is a shy girl and Ynes was patient and consistent in winning her trust. I would highly recommend Ynes for your pet care needs!”

“Chole is the BEST! She is always on time, she always sends over a bunch of pictures and will let me know of anything that happens during her walk good and bad! She is a vet tech so she is very knowledgeable on many things! Taught me how to spot a heat stroke and what do do if it gets to that. She is also suuuuper sweet with Hank! I would 100% recommend her and that is why I have her booked each week!”

“Darius was great! This was my first time using Rover and was a bit nervous, but my pup loved her time with him. It was just a 30 minute walk but he sent me a video, thank you again!”

About: I’ve had experience taking care of dogs as far back as I can remember because I’ve always had a dog. Not only that, but other family and friends have relied on me to care of their pets when out of town or when needed. I have experience with small dogs as well as taking care of my best friends 90 lb german shepherd- so big dogs don’t intimidate me. When I moved to texas, I had to leave my family dog back home, so I can’t wait to come take care of and play with your furry child!! I work remote and it’s very flexible, so I have a lot of moments in the day where I’m able to take breaks and come walk/take care of your dog! I have a dog park at my apartment complex as well as a brand new dog park that just opened up a block from me. I also don’t mind walking them or taking them to the nearest park to where you live.
“Ariana did an amazing job. She succeeded expectations while tasked with watching two dogs that didn't know her for over a week. She was very timely with responses and all reporting. She also adapted well and got the dogs to warm up to her very quickly.”

“Maia was great! Communication is top-notch. She’s very responsive, reliable, and kept me updated throughout the visits. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Alexis, and I’m a Baylor University graduate with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve fostered and cared for multiple cats at once, including bottle-feeding kittens and caring for animals with different needs and personalities. I also have cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and attentive caring for your pets. I’m currently based in Houston and offer dog walking. Whether your dog needs a long walk, some extra exercise, or just a little outdoor time and attention during the day, I’m patient, responsible, and happy to follow their normal routine. I’d love to help make sure your pup gets the exercise, attention, and care they need! I’m used to having pet care built into my daily routine. My partner and I regularly wake up early to walk our dog before starting the day, and we also take evening walks. I’m comfortable with early mornings, evening walks, and keeping pets on a consistent schedule. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all owner instructions carefully, pay attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, and provide consistent updates and clear communication so owners can feel comfortable while their pet is in my care.

About: I’ve cared for several of my friend’s dogs over the years and enjoyed making sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping them company while also following their usual routines and care instructions. I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your dog, so I’ll treat every dog in my care as I would my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide pets with the attention and care they need. I’m available throughout the week for walks, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with your per I live in a house and we have a fenced in yard and have a jack Russell terrier who is neutered. He’s very friendly and loves to play. We go on walks twice a day and play fetch. Spend at least an hour outside each day for quality time.
“Sama is an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and communicates regularly with updates, which gives me great peace of mind. My dog adores her, and it’s clear she has a natural way with animals. She also handles all pets with care and professionalism. I highly recommend Sama to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pets!”

About: I have cared for and built connections with a variety of dogs throughout my life, whether through the dogs I grew up with or while volunteering at animal shelters. I was also involved with Guide Dogs for the Blind, where I assisted in training and caring for dogs that would support individuals who are blind or disabled. As an active individual, I enjoy going on walks or runs with furry friends while ensuring they remain safe, comfortable, and hydrated along the way. ••• I am also comfortable administering medications and providing attentive care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. ••• Above all, creating meaningful pawships and providing a loving, dependable environment for your furry friend would truly bring me joy. I do work in medicine (Certified Pharmacy Technician) while being an engineering student full-time.

About: Pets and owners love my free loving and exceptional care I provide to every animal that I care for, whether it's a drop in, walk, or boarding, I'm dedicated to your pet's welfare and happiness. I reside in a beautiful apartment, but am able to host small to large dogs, take them on walks, and take them on adventures to the play area across the street, I’m also conveniently located near the Buffalo bayou dog park! I have more than 30 years of experience caring for dog, cats, and exotic animals. I also have experience in providing care for senior and special needs pets. My availability is flexible and I can usually work around times that are best to accommodate your busy life schedule, if something is to come up and plans change; I am more than happy to work with you on a refund or extended stays. Being a pet parent myself, taking care of pets naturally fit into my schedule especially since I work from home. Unless your pet requires their food at specific times, they will follow the same schedule feeding and care (which is always in plenty) with my own pet. I have no problem crating your animal if there are used to having their own safe space. I also have a wonderfully sunny balcony that they are welcomed to hang out on under supervision. If spending the night, they are welcome to sleep in the room so they aren’t lonely!
About: I bring nearly 2 years of hands-on experience from two professional dog daycares, where I cared for dogs of every breed and size. Feeding schedules, special diets and medications. Your pup gets exceptional care, every time. I structure my day around the pets in my care. Morning walks, regular feeding times, midday check-ins, and evening wind-downs, every dog gets consistent, attentive care from sunrise to sunset. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like my own. I keep a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment at all times, no hazards, no unsupervised access to dangerous areas, and constant monitoring. I follow every owner’s instructions to the letter, from feeding routines to restricted spaces.
About: I have had either a dog or a cat for the past 30+ years. I absolutely adore them and love to take care of them; especially if I can take them outside to play or walk.

Liz was wonderful! She’s reliable, caring, and genuinely great to work with. Her communication is excellent! She’s responsive, thoughtful, and proactive, which makes everything feel easy and stress-free. I always felt like the girls were in good hands with her. Highly recommend!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gari was truly the most phenomenal dog walker I could have ever asked for! From start to finish, they went above and beyond in every possible way. They were always timely, reliable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. Gari left detailed notes and updates that gave me so much peace of mind and made it clear just how much care and attention they gave to my dog. You can genuinely tell that Gari loves what they do and truly cares about the animals in their care. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were unmatched. I honestly cannot say enough great things about my experience — Gari is hands down one of the best dog walkers I have ever had! If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, caring, and willing to go the extra mile, I cannot recommend Gari enough. My experience was absolutely amazing, and I would trust them with my dog again without hesitation. Thank you, Gari, for being so incredible!

Jazlyne is a go-to when she's available! She is wonderful with our puppy Phoebe! She is not only fun, she helps with training. Phoebe has been better on walks since we have been working with Jazlyne. She has been fantastic using with a variety of walking routes and she is very communicative. I highly recommend!

Ana did AMAZING with my 10 year old lab. He’s reactive and can be overwhelming when you first meet him, but she took her time to allow him to feel her out and the rest of his walks went smoothly. She walked him 3x a day while I was out of town and was always prompt and on time every walk. Ana went above and beyond making sure he was set once she brought him back and she was very quick responsive when reaching out. I will be using her again & you should too! 10/10 service for sure.

Morgan is great! She really helps me out by coming over to play with my dog / take him for a walk so I don’t have to rush home from work. She communicates well and my dog really likes her. I know it’s a good day because he’s hard asleep on his bed when I get home!
